Obamapolooza, Barack Obama’s inauguration, was supposed to be a huge celebration of Hopeandchange. A nation coming together for a love fest like we haven’t seen since 1968. Instead it’s beginning to look like either a side show or a funeral. It’s a little too soon to tell.

Dianne Fienstein is fuming that Barack Obama didn’t mention he would nominate Leon Panetta to head the CIA. At least there’s one Democrat left in the United States that cares about our security, too bad it isn’t the President-elect.

Harry Reid and the Senate Democrat Circus blocked Roland Burris from taking his Senate seat. Their actions are unconstitutional and they know it, just proving what most of us already knew. Democrats don’t give a whit about the Constitution, never have and never will.

Al Franken claims his vote stealing worked and he will be the next Senator from Minnesota. Norm Coleman told him “not so fast” and is taking the case to court. This leaves another Senate seat empty for the time being. So much for Obama’s filibuster proof Senate, at least in the short term.

Obama is already paying back the media for the priceless assistance they gave him during the election. He’s nominated CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta for Surgeon General. It’s rumored he will nominated former Time Warner CEO Dick Parsons to the Commerce job he had offered to Bill Richardson (after Richardson had to bow out due to that pesky grand jury investigation).

Obama promised  to create 600,000 government jobs. He was a bit sketchy about what those jobs would entail. I think he made a secret promise to keep the dying media (like the NY Times who are now forced to sell ad space on their front page) employed after they’re all out of business.

Poor President elect Joe Biden. First he was denied a seat at the movies. Now his boss is sending him overseas to an undisclosed location in Asia, so he won’t even be around to help plan Obamapolooza.

But not to worry. Today Obama promised the huge deficit will last for years while crafting his plan to spend a trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000.00).

It’s afternoon in America!

Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, liberals and moderates can all agree that 2008 was an interesting year, to say the least. Who would have thought the New York Football Giants would have bested the New England Patriots in the Superbowl? If you thought that would be the strangest thing to happen this year you don’t follow politics too closely.

2008 kicked off in the midst of the Presidential primary season. Democrats bickered over who cared more about the impoverished and who wanted our troops out of Iraq sooner. Republicans went back and forth, each claiming to be the most conservative, while Republican voters kept wondering how they could channel Ronald Reagan. Read the rest of this entry »

Thank goodness Joe Biden will be kept busy the next four years. He’s finally been given a role to play in the new administration.

As vice president, Joe Biden will oversee an Obama administration effort to find ways of building up the ranks of the middle class, that ambiguously defined segment of society most Americans identify with.

The task force will include four Cabinet members as well as other presidential advisers, the Obama transition team announced Sunday.

The goal is to recommend proposals to ensure the middle class is “no longer being left behind,” Biden said. The proposals could include executive orders and legislative plans. Read full story.

I wonder how they plan to expand the middle class? Bringing rich people down to our level and giving their money to poor people? If that’s the case, there won’t be a middle class. How utopian.

Unsure About “Obama the Centrist” - Barack Obama really doesn’t care about foreign policy, it just isn’t his thing. When it comes to the economy, he needs to make sure the financial system is functioning. He’s about to expand the federal government more than we’ve seen since FDR. No, Obama’s no centrist.

Media Forgets That Wall Street Rip Off Artist is a BIG Democrat Donor - No surprise here. The media’s ignoring Bernard Madoff’s ties to the Democrat party.

Biden to Shrink VP Role - Big Time - Joe who?

GOP on the Comeback Trail - There’s a little life left in the Republican party after all. (Now if only all those so called conservatives would stop urging Republicans to be more liberal.)

Poor Joe Biden. Towards the end of the campaign he was shoved in the corner in the hopes of keeping him from publicly inserting his foot in his mouth. It appears that’s still the case. Nobody’s paying attention to him, so he asked Sarah Palin to go out for a walk. Is he hoping the governor’s ongoing popularity will rub off?

I just hope they don’t keep Mr. Biden bottled up for long. He’s the gift that keeps on giving.

When Barack Obama vilified George Bush and warned of the dangers of four more years of Bush policies he also promised to change Washington. He promised a new day, hope, and to sweep away the old politics that plagued the government. With those pledges came a general euphoria and the media proclaimed the coming of “The One”, the world’s president. Foreign leaders lined up to welcome America’s change. They apparently felt Obama’s election signaled a better world.

Not so today. While the left rejoiced, Kenya celebrated, Oprah cried, and the media patted themselves on the back and made plans for ensuring his success, Obama, months away from taking office, began to show his true colors. Names like Podesta, Daschle, Clinton, and Holder have been penciled in to the key staff positions. We already knew we were in trouble when he picked his vice-president but who could have expected this line-up? Read the rest of this entry »

In these dangerous times we need a proven leader in the White House. The economy is shaky and our enemies in the world still long for our destruction. Yet the war in Iraq is going well, we are winning. The economy has not collapsed, but there are some rough days ahead. Things could be much worse than they are today. This is not the time to punish an unpopular party. As the PUMA’s keep saying “Country before Party”.

The candidate with a record of reaching across the aisle to work with the other party is not Barack Obama. That man is John McCain. In the same spirit, as Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin also has a record of working with both parties in order to get things done. Joe Biden has no such record.

Barack Obama is a one term senator with no executive experience. What has he led, other than his campaign and the flock of Sheeples blindly following him? How is the party that set about destroying President Bush from the moment he took office going to be bipartisan? They’re idea of unity is complete power, sticking their collective thumb in the eye of at least half the country that disagrees with them. Read the rest of this entry »

The Obama campaign has been pushing hard for early voting. Why is that? Could it be that every day Obama, Biden and their surrogates leak a little more about what life will be like under an Obama administration?

Joe Biden warned us that our enemies in the world will test Barack Obama and Obama’s response will be wildly unpopular. He’s also lowered the bar for middle class, it was $250,000, then $200,000 and last week it was $150,000.

Bill Richardson just told us “What Obama wants to do is he is basically looking at $120,000 and under among those that are in the middle class, and there is a tax cut for those.” How low will it go?

Barack Obama has said he wants to spread the wealth around, but now he’s trying to lower expectations of the masses, since any idiot knows life will not improve for Americans under Barack Obama.

The most telling of all of the slip ups of Obama surrogates came from Rep. Marcy Kaptur (watch video) when she introduced Senator Obama at a campaign rally. She said we will have a second Bill of Rights. For this gang the first Bill of Rights wasn’t good enough. Read the rest of this entry »

As a parent, I’m always looking for ways to teach my children right from wrong. When they are very little it’s difficult to explain why lying is naughty. Joe Biden is a good example.

As the Wall Street Journal pointed out “As with his admission that a President Obama would quickly be tested by our enemies, the Delaware rambler was stumbling into the truth” with regard to his little slip that $150,000 is the “rich” threshold.

When one starts telling lies, it becomes difficult or impossible for all but the most skilled liars to keep track of what is fact and what is fiction. Which is why Senator Biden’s been sent into hiding. They simply can’t afford to have him out there revealing the truth to the American people.

This is a good teaching moment for the kids. When they tell the truth they have nothing to hide and can answer any question. If the truth fears no questions why go into hiding?

Biden and the Tale of Aldrich Ames - Can we talk judgment? In spite of a warning from his Republican predecessor, one of Senator Joseph Biden’s first acts as the new chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1987 was to abolish the Committee’s Subcommittee on Security and Terrorism. Biden’s action came just as one of the most famous spies in American history had begun leaking secrets to the Soviet Union. The spy — Soviet CIA mole Aldrich Ames — went undiscovered for nine years, almost the entire period of Biden’s chairmanship of the Committee. Biden relinquished his post after Republicans re-captured the Senate in 1994. Ames was finally arrested that year. Read full stor at The American Spectator.

Panic Attack at Daily Kos Over Stunning New Gallup Poll With Obama Lead at Only 2 Points - Meanwhile, over at the Daily Kos [2], some have nervously pooh-poohed this poll but others are starting to hit the panic button. Here is a sampling of Kossacks sweating buckets with some commentary by your humble correspondent: Read Full Story at Newsbusters.

Obama and the Law - (What will the Supreme Court look like with a President Obama?) That’s not “a living Constitution.” That’s a dying Constitution– and an Obama presidency can kill it off. Read Full Article at TownHall.com.

It’s not even inauguration day and already the definition of middle class is changing for the Obama campaign. Here’s Joe Biden defining the middle class as anyone making under $150,000 per year. What will they do when they can’t raise enough revenue to pay for all of their promises? They’ll re-define rich. Next it will be $100,000, then $50,000. Where will it end? Anyone who is employed?

After the Obama campaign’s charges of “the all too common alliace of Fox News, the Drudge Report and John McCain”, Megyn Kelly invited Obama spokesman Bill Burton on her show to talk about those charges. She’s the best. I have no doubt that we won’t be seeing Obama or Biden on her show anytime soon. Newsbusters has the video.

John McCain is pretty much an open book, what you see is what you get. Barack Obama and the left have a short list of issues about McCain they repeat over and over again.

McCain is old and we can’t have ”inexperienced” Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from the Presidency. (Although she’s far more qualified than Barack Obama and most Americans know more about her than Obama.) McCain is George W. Bush. And McCain keeps changing his message. As ABC News pointed out this evening, he’s “Jumping around from theme to theme, hoping something will stick.” 

Well of course he is, there’s so much about Barack Obama the media doesn’t want us to know, someone has to talk about it. It may as well be John McCain. He hasn’t even covered half of it.

Here they go again. This time it was a Philadelphia news station asking Biden tough questions. Poor Joe thought they were going to ask about the last presidential debate and the Phillies. Now they are denied access to the candidates.

What’s going to happen in an Obama administration when tough questions need to be asked? Will only friendly reporters be granted access to Obama and his advisors?
