Barack Obama Is Having a Very Bad Week, and Even WaPo Noticed

Posted on by

The smartest man in the world can’t make a gaffe, surely. When Barack Obama says something ridiculous, mean-spirited, wrongheaded, or just plain dumb, he means it. So we know Obama considers the murders of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others mere “bumps in the road” to his re-election. Four bumps, to be precise. When Obama says Israel is just “one of our strongest allies” in the Middle East, no longer our strongest, he means it.

Which Barack Obama is Right?

Posted on by

  A genius is someone who can hold contrary concepts simultaneously in mind. What, then, do we call a person who simultaneously argues two contrary concepts? How ‘bout “demagogue?” A few weeks ago, Barack Obama told America’s business owners that they are not responsible for their success.  “Someone else built that.” Today, the same Obama told Mitt Romney that there not many people who consider themselves victims. Does Mr. Obama believe that people in dire

Can You Trust Barack Obama for 4 More Years?

Posted on by

Barack Obama came to office promising to heal the planet (I didn’t know it was sick), lower the waters, and end war as we knew it “whilst waking on water squirting wine out his ass,” to borrow William S. Burroughs’s anti-Christian blasphemy in Naked Lunch. (Funny. I don’t recall reading about Christians blowing up embassies over that book’s publication.) Four years later, The One might want to let the waters rise. Maybe they’ll put out

Is the Romney Campaign Serious About Winning?

Posted on by

The Romney Campaign today reminded me of the McCain Campaign of 2008. I’m pretty good at ignoring bogus, fraudulent polls like the one CNN released tonight. In that poll, CNN announced a massive 52-46 national lead for Obama. If true, the race would be all but over. CNN, of course, cooked the books on this one. About one-third of voters describe themselves as independents, CNN sampled only 3% independents for its latest poll.  Out of

7 Warning Signs That Obama’s Imploding

Posted on by

Hurricane Isaac smiled on the Republicans in Tampa and delivered more misery to New Orleans and its surroundings.  That was just one of the ominous signs that 2012 is shaping up to be a forgettable year for Democrats, especially for Barack Obama. Here’s seven more warning signs that Obama’s 6-year campaign is about to implode: 1.  Torrential Rains Wipe the Face of Mount Obamamore Not that weather plays favorites, but you have wonder. First, there

Game Theory and the Ryan Pick

Posted on by

  If Mitt Romney applied game theory in choosing Paul Ryan, I have renewed respect for him. I’ll explain why, but first a bit of background on game theory. Game theory is a branch of social science concerned with strategic decision-making. It is most closely associated with economics. Professor John Nash, the subject of the movie A Beautiful Mind, won a Nobel Prize in Economics for his work in game theory. (For a great primer

Romney-Ryan Have a Vision They Can Talk About

Posted on by

Why did murder skyrocket in Chicago as soon as Rahm Emanuel became mayor? Why have Americans become nastier and meaner since Barack Obama became president? As Michael Dukakis told us, a fish rots from the head down. Obama surrounds himself with people who thrive on decay and death. After four years, Obama has nothing to say for himself. Nothing. He can only cut and attack and lie and sneer and mock like a high school

The Economy Is Getting Worse Thanks to Liberalism

Posted on by

  The horror in Aurora, Colorado, gave President Obama a little cover last Friday.  That’s because the Labor Department announced that unemployment rose in 27 states. President Obama promised to hold unemployment under eight percent if Congress passed the stimulus package in 2009. Congress did, but Obama failed.  Remember all those green jobs?  They’re gone. The problem isn’t Barack Obama; the problem is liberalism.   Liberals believe that only experts can make intelligent decisions. They

The Old Reagan Soviet Jokes Are on US

Posted on by

Ronald Reagan loved to tell jokes about the Soviet Union. If Obama’s re-elected, though, these same jokes could be turned on the United States. Some of them already can be. It’s hard to get an automobile in the United States. They are owned mainly by elite bureaucrats. It takes an average of 10 years to get a car. 1 out of 7 families owned automobiles. You have to go through a major process and put

If the election were held today, there’d be a lot of crying and gnashing of teeth

Posted on by

Here’s a screen grab from RealClearPolitics.com’s presidential tracking poll: RCP aggregates dozens of polls to produce its RCP average. The method has been remarkably accurate, especially at the state level. It’s time to focus on preventing the unmitigated disaster of a second Obama term. In 112 days, Americans will vote on whether or not to continue our experiment in self-government.  If the election were held today, that experiment would be aborted. It gets worse, too.
