If Obama Lost the Washington Post…

As you may have heard me opining on a number of occasions, I do like to point out that for all the whining Democrats do regarding health care reform, they still own the White House, the Senate, the New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC News, and pretty much 95% of the media outside of Fox News and WABC Radio. So the fact that they still aren’t able to cram a new entitlement down the throats of the American people, it really is kind of sad.

Apparently after miscalculating the debt by aboot $2,000,000,000,000.00, the VA accidentally misdiagnosing 1,864 veterans with Lou Gehrig’s Disease, and the “hugely popular” Cash for Clunker Fiasco where – out of a $800,000,000,000.00 political boondoggle – one of the few things actually stimulating the economy was underfunded and horribly mis-managed, the American people just aren’t having it. Damn those pesky average Americans who are easily manipulated by Rush Limbaugh and are too stupid to know any better that what Dear Leader wants is best.

Well, apparently the editors of the Washington Post – not the Times or the Examiner, but the WASHINGTON POST must be drinking the El Rushbo Kool-aid as well…

What Obama Can Learn From Ted Kennedy

I’ve been reading and listening to a lot of the eulogies aboot Ted Kennedy today, a lot of which dealt with the current debate on health care reform. Already, Nancy Pelosi has started politicizing his death by using it as an excuse to ram Obamacare through, but in the Speaker’s defense, she did wait a whole hour after it was announced that he passed.

Seriously though, a lot of the tributes mentioned bi-partisanship and how Ted Kennedy would work with anyone to either get what he needed, or help them get when they needed (even if he wasn’t voting for the particular bill). Even recently, working with liberal public enemy number one George W. Bush on education and immigration reform, he and the former President who agree on probably nothing worked to find common ground on what they felt were the important issue of the time. Bipartisanship wasn’t just a word he used to guilt Republican’s into just shutting up and doing what they’re told.

Kennedy was a serious mind for serious issues, and our current President could learn a lesson or two when it comes to health care reform. If he’s serious aboot “reform” and isn’t full of it when he talks aboot bi- or post-partisanship, steal a page from Ted Kennedy.

Call Mitt Romney.

Obama Hearts Reckless Spending

Anytime I have a criticism aboot Dear Leader or his White House, there will always be someone to dismiss anything I say by trying to tie me to George Bush. Never mind tiny details like me voting for Not Bush in 2004, or the fact that I was critical over Bush’s spending (which I think Obama is making much worse) and the handling of the war.

Mind you, these are usually the same “open-minded” and “tolerant” liberal progressives who have been telling me for the past eight years that dissent was the highest form of patriotism, but whatever.  George Bush was a bad president, so no one is allowed to criticize the current President for anything ever.

So I’m sure articles like this one will make them wild out…

Eric Cantor: “The Dems are Evil, Evil Liars”

Eric Cantor has been quiet lately. We started off the year with him being elected to Minority Whip, and had his big “coming out” when he whipped his colleagues in the house to unanimously stand against the crap sandwich the Obama Campaign wanted to call “stimulus.” He was also the main cat in getting the House GOP up to snuff on the Internets and various other social networking tools.

However, after The National Council for a New America didn’t take off as well as some of us had hoped, he’s been slightly off the radar. That change this week when he write and editorial for Politico.com called “Wanted: Economic Honesty,” with the obvious implication being that the Obama Campaign has been anything but.
