    My first reaction to this video is that Rep. Thaddeus McCotter dissects ObamaCare just as effectively as Paul Ryan did at the Blair House Health Care Summit. Here’s the video exchange between Reps. McCotter and Yarmuth: The highlight for me comes at the end of the interview when Greg Jarrett asks Rep. McCotter if the American [...]

  75. CBO: Obama Underestimates Budget Deficits

    → Bizblogger | 8 Mar 2010 | 10:14 am MST

    The CBO says that even Obama's scary budget deficit projections are being underestimated by $1.2 trillion. Hmm.

  76. Team Obama vs. The Clintonistas?

    → California Conservative | 8 Mar 2010 | 9:43 am MST

    Last week, I highlighted Doug Schoen’s op-ed in this post. I didn’t think much about it but upon further review, I think we might be seeing Clinton supporters becoming more critical of the Obama administration. It’s more plausible now that Mark Penn has written an op-ed critical of using reconciliation to pass health care reform: Reconciliation [...]

  77. School Civil Rights Chief: "We Are Back in Business"

    → Bizblogger | 8 Mar 2010 | 6:03 am MST

    Our post-racial president is again being singularly focused on one issue: race - this time in the classrooms. Apparently Obama is going to crack down on schools that don't give the same opportunity to both whites and blacks, however he decides to define that.

    According to an advance text of the speech, Mr. Duncan is expected to say the department will focus on racial disparities in the availability and quality of high-school college-preparatory classes and on the differences in how students of different races are disciplined in public schools.

    Hey, what could go wrong?

  81. Remembering Jason Grau

    → Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler | 7 Mar 2010 | 4:47 pm MST

    A seventeen-year-old kid, the son of a friend of LC Krondax’s, who was brutally murdered recently. A suspect has been arrested. If that suspect turns out to be the murderer, or when somebody else is determined to be the murderer, the entire focus will then be, as we all know, on how to be “humane” and [...]

  82. Another Traitor Caught

    → Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler | 7 Mar 2010 | 3:49 pm MST

    Both to start of the celebrations and to give you a thread to talk about it in. Adam Gadahn, the goat farmer and traitor to his own country, has been nabbed. No, the “goat farmer” isn’t just a random insult, that’s actually what he used to be. No wonder he ended up with — those people. Our celebrations [...]

    We keep insisting on hearing this sort of thing if we’re ever to even consider the “muslims are against terrorism too” claim, so when we do find an example, it’s incumbent upon us to cheer it on. A “duty” that we find not hard at all. (h/t DPUD) :British imams must do more to condemn terrorism [...]

  84. How Democrats Ballooned Teen Unemployment

    → Bizblogger | 5 Mar 2010 | 6:26 am MST


    It's hard to understate how damaging the Democrat agenda on minimum wages has been for teen unemployment. It would be nice if Congress could magically wave a wand and make everyone richer by raising wages. Unfortunately, the free market teaches us over and over again that there are terrible consequences when wages are artificially moved.

    As the WSJ points out and shows in the graph, the minimum wage increase from $5.15 to 5.85 in 2007 had a minimal effect because overall unemployment was under 5% and the rate hadn't budged in nearly a decade. However, the subsequent increases to $6.55 and then $7.25 under the direction of the great economist Nancy Pelosi has been a disaster. Total teen employment has jumped by over 150% to a 25% rate, while black unemployment is nearly 50%.

    This is a tragedy and it's unfortunate and nearly criminal that the people who make laws in this country have no comprehension of how the economy works.

  85. Obama's Pro-Nuclear Facade

    → Bizblogger | 5 Mar 2010 | 6:10 am MST

    Like literally everything Obama says publicly, his pro-nuclear stance over the last two weeks is nothing but a big fat lie. The only reason he even got to claim that lie is that the single nuclear facility currently underway continues to move along - but it started during the George H.W. Bush administration. How else to explain the position that Obama's taking to terminate the Yucca mountain nuclear waste facility, without which, will be impossible for most states to even consider building new nuclear plants. From the WSJ:

    Michael Morris, chief executive of American Electric Power Co., said on Thursday that "there has to be a reaction," because Yucca is the only site that's been vetted and deemed capable of storing waste from the nation's 104 operating power reactors. Speaking at a Wall Street Journal conference, he blasted the "idiocy of Yucca Mountain" being terminated as a repository and said the government will have wasted $10 billion on the project if it doesn't proceed.

    The only thing Obama has said is, "there are better options," without of course, naming any other options.
