There a brand spanking new poll out today by the Washington Post and ABC News supposedly showing President Obama topping GOP front runner Mitt Romney nationally. It claims that 55% of the respondents dislike what they're hearing from the GOP candidates in general, that 57% approved of what they heard from President Obama's State of the Union address and that he tops Romney in a general e...

President Obama has trumpeted the temporary payroll tax cut as his major victory for middle class Americans. Unfortunately, he isn't telling you about the massive screwing over homeowners are getting to pay for a few hundred dollars in savings. Hidden in the bill that the president signed that came down from the Senate is a provision that adds a minimum monthly fee of one tenth of one percent...

The inside story of President Obama's "spontaneous" Al Green moment at the Apollo Theater on January 19th. For President Obama, spending days practicing to sing one line of an Al Green song at a campaign event in New York so that it would appear spontaneous, is what passes for doing the peoples business in this White House. Remember this? Of course you do and that was the plan when this "spon...

This morning the question was asked about whether Obamanomics has led the United States into a liquidity trap created by having the lowest possible interest rates and a non-growing economy? That question was clearly answered by examining the treasury yield curve and the economic forecasts out of the CBO. Now in his own words below President Obama tells you why, given the truth of the first stateme...

The above is an interesting one from the latest Gallup Poll( via memeorandum). It's based on Gallup's annual state-by-state presidential approval numbers for 2011, and shows what the 2012 election would look like if President Obama carries only those states where he had a net positive approval rating in 2011 (e.g. Michigan where he is up 48 percent to 44 percent). The generic GOP candida...

Heading into today's Florida Primary, the picture below depicts President Obama reflecting on his potential opponents in the 2012 presidential election! And, for all of you political scientists out there, this is a perfect although not very timely lesson in what two flawed candidates should not be doing! In what can only be described as a disgusting display of me-first politics, Mitt Romney a...

No, not the Keystone Pipeline although that is another one! Two other debate questions that the mainstream media will likely not ask President Obama! The first that should not be asked and one that needs to be asked! This assumes of course that once the Republican candidate for president is known President Obama will commit to a series of debates. That won't ever happen, but hypothetically sp...

Send in questions you would like President Obama to answer? It almost feels like a set-up by the Secret Service or FBI to entrap overzealous conservatives. Or is that just being paranoid?

If the MSM carries the water of the Democrat Party and is the rooting section for the reelection of President Obama to a 2nd term in the White House... Why in the hell would you line-up an already weak and wounded crop of RNC candidates in front of one of their moderators like doomed men facing a firing squad? Particularly because we know that like everything else in politics and society today, de...

Today's libation comes straight from the 2012 presidential campaign of President Obama, now in full swing! On Tuesday night the President gave a campaign speech to the country that went by some other very official sounding name. I think he called it the State of the Union Address. In it he told the country all kinds of interesting things and made all kinds of great promises that made some of ...
