Even Democrats in the media are becoming disillusioned with the man who was once their savior.
Hillary Clinton says that the United States is also to blame for drug-related violence in Mexico. She’s right.
People in Europe have also picked up their pitchforks and are outraged over executive pay issues. Wealth envy is growing.
Obama says that “we need not choose between a chaotic and unforgiving capitalism and an oppressive government-run economy.”

Some really great articles by John Stossel:
Jail For Selling Medical Marijuana
If the voters in your state say it’s OK to do something, is it?
Apparently not.
Charlie Lynch learned that the hard way, when federal authorities raided his home and small business in southern California in March 2007.
“I hear the banging of my front door,” Lynch recalled. “I opened the door and about 10 to 15 agents with shields, bullet-proof vests, guns, masks, they came barreling in.”
Drug Enforcement Administration agents seized 30 pounds of marijuana from Lynch’s business. The action wasn’t a surprise to San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Pat Hedges, who had been investigating Lynch for about a year.
What tipped the sheriff off to Lynch’s operation? It may have been the ribbon-cutting ceremony that Lynch held when he started selling marijuana. Read the full story.
The Middle Class Is Doing Just Fine, Thank you
There’s no doubt that the current recession is taking a heavy toll. Last month, the number of unemployed reached 12.5 million, an increase of 851,000 since December.
Is the middle class truly having a hard time, or is it better off than before?
President Obama has said that “the middle class is struggling.” Turn on the TV, and you’ll hear people like cable news host Lou Dobbs say, “Our middle class may be on the verge of collapse.”
Social commentator and best-selling author Barbara Ehrenreich agrees. “It used to be that you could expect to get a job after college, rise in that job, maybe switch jobs at some point and then retire with a generous pension,” she said. “Now, it’s a very bumpy road with many gaps in between.”
In her book “Nickel and Dimed,” Ehrenreich went undercover to work as a nursing home aide, a Wal-Mart associate and took on other low-wage jobs to see if she could make ends meet. Read the full story.
Billions of Tax Dollars Being Spent on Roads, That’s Bull!
It’s part of the stimulus plan. The government has announced it’s going to spend billions of your dollars on building new roads, and fixing old ones. They say they’ll do it efficiently. I say, bull.
Some people call the traffic jam on the way to work … driving into hell.
Joseph Woo of Atlanta told us he has the most miserable commute in America.
The Texas Transportation Institute, a research division of Texas A&M, says Atlanta is America’s second-most-congested city.
“You plan your day around traffic,” Woo said. “Because you never know if there’s going to be traffic or not. You have to leave an hour and 15 minutes in advance. This is why I don’t drink coffee. If I drank coffee, my head would probably explode!” Read the full story.
Taxpayer Money to Fund Border Wall
Some people from other countries want to come to the United States to kill us. Some want to freeload off us or sell us illegal things. Most just want to work here. So what should be done about all that?
It’s the Border Patrol’s responsibility to secure the U.S. border from illegal immigrants, but the border is long, and Border Patrol agents can’t be everywhere.
Reason TV recently visited the Mexican border and spoke to Robert Crooks, who leads the Mountain Minutemen, a vigilante group that tries to keep illegals from entering America.
“The Border Patrol agents are overworked, undermanned, unappreciated,” Crooks said. “I’m that added eyes and ears that the Border Patrol don’t have.” Read the full story.
Pre-K for Every Kid ‘a Waste of Money
It used to be that the first day of kindergarten was the first day of school. But now there’s a new movement: Universal pre-K. Every child in America should have a chance to start school before kindergarten. Isn’t that a wonderful idea?
Universal pre-K was one of President Obama’s campaign promises, and most Americans agree with him. Sixty-seven percent of Americans think the government should pay for every child to go to preschool, according to a June 2008 poll by Peter D. Hart Research Associates/American Viewpoint.
It all sounds so good. However, Mia Levi, a parent who owns six preschools in California, is not convinced.
“Of course it sounds good. All they hear about is a little sweet preschool program, and it’s for the little children, and how can you say no to little children?” she said. “But this whole thing is a scam. It’s like some kind of spin they want everybody to believe.” Read the full story.
Stimulus Bull? Why Bail Out Anyone At All?
Think we’re in an economic crisis?
Politicians are eager to remind us that we are.
It’s frightening just to turn on the television. You can’t change the channel without hearing a politician use the word “crisis” or “catastrophe.”
“A failure to act, and act now, will turn a crisis into a catastrophe,” President Obama said on Feb. 4th.
“We have an economic crisis, the worst since the Great Depression,” Vice President Joe Biden said of the situation at the House Democratic Issues Conference on February 6th.
Indeed, the situation is bad. The stock market has continued to fall and unemployment has reached 8.1 percent. But what should a country do about that? The political class says we need “stimulus.”
And so stimulus we got, along with bailouts and rescues adding up to billions and trillions of your dollars. Everything that has been spent and promised to be spent will wind up costing each taxpayer around $16,000.

Here’s some shocking news .. the value of global financial assets including stocks, bonds and currencies probably fell by more than $50 trillion in 2008, which is the equivalent to a year of world gross domestic product. Thank you Barney Frank.
A great Thomas Sowell column .. just chock full o’ common sense. Try this sentence: “Why should taxpayers who live in apartments, perhaps because they did not feel that they could afford to buy a house, be forced to subsidize other people who could not afford to buy a house but who went ahead and bought one anyway?” Why indeed?
The Wall Street Journal explores the truth on who really pays for Barack Obama’s cap-and-trade scheme. I’ll give you a hint .. the taxpayers.
Who could soon become the most important people in Washington? Senators Blanche Lincoln and Mary Landrieu and here’s why …… They still name people Blanche?
You’ll love this one. Victor Davis Hansen nails down California’s problems.
This character thinks that the only way to bring our economy around would be to “break every mortgage contract.”
Read this column. Can’t hurt. Capitalism needs a friend right now.
Obama said that human cloning is “dangerous, profoundly wrong” and has no place in society. I’ll have a drink to that. Of course though, that was written on the teleprompter. I feel the same way about Obama; “dangerous” and “profoundly wrong.”
The Supreme Court ruled against the expansion of protection for minorities under the federal voting rights law. Clearly a racist court.
Have you checked out Obama’s Wikipedia page lately? Looks like you aren’t going to find anything controversial on PrezBO on Wikipedia.
Just a little flashback for you … back in 2006, more than half of Democrats wanted George Bush to fail as president.
Obama’s step-grandmother in Kenya is going to use her newfound celebrity to help fight the testse fly. Good for her. Let’s make it a pay-per-view event.
Utah has decided to lift the law that requires someone to fill out an application and pay a fee for the right to enter a bar. Now if they could just make them fill out an app and pay a fee to enter a voting booth.
This ought to get the wealth-envy crowd going … a Facebook for the filthy, evil, scum-filled rich.
In times like these, what really gets the people outraged? A bowling tax. This is what has some thongs in a wad in New York.
What is this thug Chris Brown doing at a Kid’s Award show after beating on his girlfriend Rihanna? Don’t you wish she had had a gun to defend herself? Hey, Rihanna! That thug is going to hit you again. Or, he may turn your ass into a pez dispenser.
In Great Britain, one out of every five people approved of men slapping their wives or girlfriends for wearing revealing clothing in public.

Well this should get the church goers panties in a bunch. President Barack Obama depicted as a saint is seen on ten inch tall votive candles displayed at “Just For Fun” March 2, 2009 in San Francisco, California. The store “Just For Fun” has sold over 1,000 of the 10 inch votives which sell for $12.95 each but have yet to sell one of the two foot tall candles which go for $395. I have a friend that voted for him and I’m thinking about buying one of these and sticking it up his ass…LIT! Not the ten inch, but the two foot!
Or you you can buy the Obama Dildo for $34.95. I wonder if Nancy Pelosi has one of these stuffed in her night stand drawer?

Another Obama tax increase will come in the form of pollution caps. And guess where the revenue from this scheme is going to go .. “tax cuts” for poor people.
Dick Morris says that Barack Obama is spreading panic. As Rahm Emanuel said, never let a good crisis go to waste. And is exactly what Obama plans to do.
Just what we need, the Democrat party being even more liberal. Bloggers and unions are teaming up to make sure this happens.
Joe Biden said that 400 people a day lose their jobs in Louisiana. Eh, wrong. Let’s try that one again, Joe. Wait … forget it. We all know that nobody messes with Joe.
How can Obama claim that his budget will allow for $2 trillion in savings over 10 years? Easy, by not spending money on wars that we won’t be in.
What details about healthcare reform are included in Obama’s budget plan? Well, not a lot.

Here’s a concept .. you actually say something positive about the economy, and the stock market rebounds! Did anyone hear PrezBO say anything good about capitalism last night? No? I didn’t’ think so.
Big oops for Al Gore. Looks like Big Al was stretching the truth a bit about some global warming research. I just can’t hide my surprise here.
Hilda Solis is set to be our next Labor Secretary. The labor unions have tingles up their legs. So does Hilda.
Roland Burris is still a Senator. His fellow Illinois Senator Dick Durbin has apparently asked Burris to resign. Burris said no. The Black Congressional Caucus is, of course, screaming racism. Big surprise there.
The Obama administration is well on its way to putting the government in charge of your healthcare. Here are some down and dirty facts on how they can do this with little public fanfare.
Americans are not serfs in need of a czar .. so why does the Obama administration insists on a healthcare czar? I’ll tell you why .. because they want to make you more dependent on government. You haven’t picked up on that yet?
A California politician wants to increase tax revenue by taxing his state’s largest cash crop: marijuana. Good idea!
This is a great column about what is missing from Obama’s housing plan .. common sense.
The Democrats are one step closer to ensuring a full voting member of Congress for Washington DC. Is this even constitutional? Does that even matter?
The Supreme Court upheld a state law that has the unions all gunched up .. it is a state law banning local governments from letting workers use payroll deductions to fund political union activities.
An investigation found that United Nations management of environmental protection programs is “completely out of control and approaching chaos.” That’s about what I expect from the UN.
When the nation is in crisis, guess which city’s economy actually grows? You’ve got it .. Washington DC.
Apparently the New York Times believes that the Obama administration is separate from “the government.” Who knew?
The idea of a gun buy-back program is such a joke to me. But officials in New York City thought it would be a good idea.
A man gets hit by a truck while helping a woman cross the street. As if being in intensive care wasn’t bad enough, the guy was given a ticket for jaywalking.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden found time to sit down and chat with George Clooney this week in the White House. I’m sure Clooney had a lot to offer. Celebrity president being advised by celebrities. Just great.

No .. it can’t be? Newsweek put Obama on their cover how many times in the last year? Now they run a story that treats Obama as something other than a deity? Traitors! How dare them? This man cannot be allowed to fail!
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham says, “I would not take off the idea of nationalizing the banks.”
Harrison Schmitt walked on the moon. No dummy. He says that this global warming scam is a tool to increase government control over our lives. Golly …seems I’ve heard that somewhere else. Wonder where?
Who got last minute gifts in the stimulus bill? Yeah, like it was going to pass without some extra pork thrown in there.
So .. you want to be an airline gate agent?
Back up to the government trough .. the auto industry, which has until tomorrow to submit plans to show how they repay billions in taxpayer loans. Do you think there will be plans? Yeah .. the plan is to ask for more money.
As of right now, it looks like GM is seriously considering Chapter 11 as an option.
Tom Daschle is out as health czar, so who does the Obama administration turn to fill his shoes? Rahm Emanuel’s brother. Yeah .. that makes perfect sense.
So you say that Obama won’t re-impose the Fairness Doctrine? His administration surely won’t answer the question nowadays.
Couldn’t news like this been pointed out before the stimulus vote? A multibillion-dollar construction project in the Northwest isn’t going to create a lot of jobs for many years.
The Obama administration is warning that Americans shouldn’t expect instant miracles from this government growth bill. You mean Obama isn’t going to give everyone a house?
The GOP wants an investigation of Illinois Senator Roland Burris on possible perjury charges, and they want him to resign immediately. Did Blago ask Burris for some cash for the seat?
Love the title of Mark Steyn’s column: The Obamateur Hour. He’s right. We thought it would be cool to put a rant amateur in the White House; someone with no measurable experience whatsoever. Good luck.
Even if governors don’t want the bailout money, the Democrats in Congress have made sure that the states will get it anyway.
Add another Democrat to the list of Fairness Doctrine supporters: New York Congressman Maurice Hinchey.
This from Oklahoma: A new ordinance unanimously approved by the Norman City Council will require residents to prove, in a court of law, they did not litter, rather than having the city attempt to prove they did.
Tax cheats in the Obama administration could make it more difficult for the IRS to enforce the law. Now that is change even I can believe in.
All things considered, Obama’s approval ratings are still above 60%. That’s because the average American doesn’t know any better.
Could the legalization of marijuana save the California economy?
Just what this country needs .. another octuplet mother on welfare.
A Yale professor thinks that “investigative journalism” around the world should be supported by national endowments.
Last week we got the story of the 13-year-old boy who became a father. Now it turns out that he might not be the dad, because the skank mother of the child (who is 15-years-old, by the way) was sleeping with as many as eight other boys at the time.
This should send your pucker factor up a bit. This L.A. Times columnist says that Al Qeada wants to target America’s economy and it wants to prove it can defeat us. I don’t know about you … but I sure feel good about Obama being in the White House right now … what with all that experience he has and all.
What would a Creation Science Fair be like? Here, this might give you an idea.

California Senator Barbara Boxer released a letter detailing the basic principles that will be included into this absurd global warming legislation. This legislation will probably be passed within weeks, not months. Democrats know they need to move fast while they still have a large portion of Americans brainwashed with this global warming nonsense. So now let’s all take a look at these principles for global warming legislation:
1. Reduce emissions to levels guided by science to avoid dangerous global warming. (The science, of course, will come from government-paid scientists who know that their funding depends on continued global warming alarmism.)
2. Set short and long term emissions targets that are certain and enforceable, with periodic review of the climate science and adjustments to targets and policies as necessary to meet emissions reduction targets.
3. Ensure that state and local entities continue pioneering efforts to address global warming.
4. Establish a transparent and accountable market-based system that efficiently reduces carbon emissions. (No .. establish a system that efficiently redistributes wealth and weakens capitalism.)
5. Use revenues from the carbon market to:
- Keep consumers whole as our nation transitions to clean energy;
- Invest in clean energy technologies and energy efficiency measures;
- Assist states, localities and tribes in addressing and adapting to global warming impacts;
- Assist workers, businesses and communities, including manufacturing states, in the transition to a clean energy economy;
- Support efforts to conserve wildlife and natural systems threatened by global warming; and
-Work with the international community, including faith leaders, to provide support to developing nations in responding and adapting to global warming. In addition to other benefits, these actions will help avoid the threats to international stability and national security posed by global warming.
6. Ensure a level global playing field, by providing incentives for emission reductions and effective deterrents so that countries contribute their fair share to the international effort to combat global warming.
Oh yeah … just had to include that “fair share” phrase in there. A real favorite for Democrats. It means nothing, but the low lifes of society love it.
