President Obama's Unemployment Promises

Posted by HughS · Published: July 1, 2009 · Comments (19)

The president's apologists at The New York Times are putting the best possible spin on the administration's economic forecasting failures. That the Times is even writing about this subject indicates how vulnerable the Obama administration (and its state run media enablers) must be feeling about the worsening recession: In the...

Posted by HughS · Published: March 20, 2009 · Comments (34)

As Michael noted yesterday the House passed Speaker Pelosi's targeted tax increase on AIG (and other TARP funded) bonus recipients.

Speaker Pelosi Tries her Hand at Comedy

Some Comments By An Honest Democrat

Posted by HughS · Published: March 1, 2009 · Comments (54)

One of the more infuriating aspects of Democrat behavior in the recent spending legislation were the vacuous defenses offered up by the party's leaders. Unwilling to offer a detailed defense of the stimulus bill (although it must be conceded that it's difficult to defend something you haven't read), Speaker Pelosi... [Full Story]

Let The Banks Fail

Posted by HughS · Published: February 21, 2009 · Comments (5)

Having previously supported TARP 1.0, the first round of financial bailouts that poured $350 billion dollars into an emergency backstop for the nation's private banking system, I've changed my mind on any future federal intervention short of outright receivership for failed banks. It is difficult to justify all of the... [Full Story]

A "country of Africa" moment for Nancy Pelosi

Posted by Michael Laprarie · Published: February 4, 2009 · Comments (17)

"Five hundred million Americans will lose their jobs ..." Let's be fair. It's pretty obvious that she meant to say "500,000 Americans will lose their jobs." Perception in the eyes of the press -- and in the eyes of entertainers -- is a curious thing. Former President Gerald Ford was... [Full Story]

The Most Bipartisan Congress Ever

Posted by Steve Schippert · Published: November 6, 2008 · Comments (19)

Sorry, Nancy, but how can you possibly proclaim that "if the Democrats win, and have substantial majorities, Congress of the United States will be more bipartisan," if Democrats can't even be 'bipartisan' towards those within your own party?
