His grade so far, according to Time Magazine?
A-…
From Mark Halperin:
Instantly comfortable and highly skilled at the hardest job in the world — proving his supporters’ contention that all the traits that made him a great candidate would serve him well in the White House: even temper, cool demeanor, boldness under pressure, shrewd facility for managing personnel, unfailing instincts about when to delegate and when to engage.
Lap dog anyone?

Ladies and gentlemen, the Empire State Building was lit red and yellow in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the communist overthrow of China.
Don’t know what more I can say, other than that this acceptance of a totalitarian, communist, human-right abusing nation in America–the land of freedom, liberty, capitalism, and human-rights–is sickening.

Here we go…
Earlier this week, I reported that Barack Obama is open to a newspaper bailout. And now, congress is meeting in order to “examine the importance of newspapers to our democracy throughout our nation’s history and the treacherous economic landscape they face.”
Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney is reported to have said (from Editor and Publisher):
“The witnesses will review alternative funding options for newspapers in our new and ever-changing electronic age. Since the ratification of the Bill of Rights, the federal government has acknowledged that the press is an institution which is afforded special protections by name. In this spirit, I think that the government can help foster solutions for this industry in ways which protect the independence of newspapers and enables their objective reporting to thrive in a new economic and media climate.”
Now, alternate funding options? So, if a business fails at doing business, it needs to garner–which is a poor word because it implies work being involved–funds elsewhere…
“Government fostered solutions” to “protect the independence of newspapers” and enabling “objective reporting to thrive.”
Really? Does the above sentence make any sense? I didn’t think so. A free press is important, a free press beholden to the government isn’t free.

After videos of ACORN pimping young girls appeared on BigGovernment.com, and after calls from Average Americans to investigate the racket ACORN, the Senate has voted to include an amendment to the Transportation and HUD appropriations bill that would cut their funding…
The vote was 83-7.
Here are the seven:
The house of cards is starting to collapse. Keep the pressure on.

Really?
Really?
CNN Reports:
“President Obama doesn’t think the protests and the growing conservative movement against Obama are motivated by racism.”
Of course they’re conservative…
Robert Gibbs was on CNN’s State of the Union today and said,
“I don’t think the president believes that people are upset because of the color of his skin.”
Really?
Do I really need to break it down?
Are they suggesting that the anger anger toward Barack Obama is not over the huge amounts of money he has spent; closing Gitmo without a plan; buying GM; being in bed with GE; motioning our debt; saying he wants to bankrupt the coal industry; expressing interest in taking over the health insurance industry; or comparing his bowling skills to the Special Olympics, but because he’s BLACK? Really? It’s not about any of that, its only about the color of his skin…
Folks, this is idiotic. As a conservative, I have heard the race card too many times. It is getting old. I thought he was the “post-racial” candidate…

Ladies and gentlemen, CNN’s section on healthcare reform interviewed a gentlemen from Portland Maine.
Joe Ray owns a fish and shellfish company and has seen his sales jump 30% in this economy…obviously he’s doing something right…
“‘I think I’d rather just be left alone,’ Ray said. ‘Just pay my bill and try to deal with it that way.’
A fiscal conservative, he has a simple view of President Obama. “Right now, he is just spending, spending, spending, and I just hope it helps the country,” Ray says.
Hey, fiscal conservatives! You have a simple view of Barack Obama…But, in this situation, a simple view is all you need…

Yes, folks, the State Run Media has refused to air an ad critical of Obamacare because it deemed it as “partisan.”
NBC refused to run the ad because of some factual errors and will reconsider once those issues have been addressed…
ABC, on the other hand, has refused to run the ad saying,
“The ABC Television Network has a long-standing policy that we do not sell time for advertising that presents a partisan position on a controversial public issue. Just to be clear, this is a policy for the entire network, not just ABC News.”
This is the same network which truly became America’s Broadcasting Corporation when aired its WORLD NEWS live from the White House, and aired, as Dick Morris said, “a daylong propaganda fest about healthcare reform.”

From Congress Daily: “Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucustold reporters he had heard some ‘interesting,’ ‘creative,’ and ‘kind of fun’ ideas.”
Fun taxes? Is this guy a loon?
The only state that taxes cosmetic surgery is New Jersey.
