Is Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein a Liar? »

On Tuesday, I wrote “Just How Sorry Is Goldman Sachs?” in response to a blanket, unspecified, and unsolicited apology put forth by Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. In my commentary, I asserted:
Wait a second. Blankfein admits that Goldman participated in activities that led to the crisis? Get Lloyd back in here and ask him for [...]

ACORN - A Laugh A Minute - NOT »

* Bumped Up *
And I am not talking about all of the acorns all over my yard (the raccoons and squirrels are having a field day!). Nope, I am talking about ACORN, Obama’s former employer. They never fail to disappoint in the level of hubris and entitlement they bring, which can be downright [...]

Who’s Coming To Hang Out With Obama In Our White House? »

You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it [...]

‘There’s Something About Mary’ as Madoff Calls Schapiro “a Dear Friend” »

Did FINRA invest its own funds from its internal investment portfolio with Bernie Madoff? Would FINRA’s head Mary Schapiro invest with her “dear friend” Bernie?

The Issue Of Women And Health Insurance, As Well As News That Will Be A Big Surprise »

There has been a great deal of talk and debate about health care in the country recently as the Democrats push Heath Care Reform. A lot of animosity has been directed at the Health Insurance Industry as a whole. As it turns out, some is justified, but some is not. I was [...]

GOP Lifeless, Commissars Lively »

23rd NY Disaster.  

John Bussey, WSJ, reports that the Republicans are showing energy on fund-raising in the latest report by the party. The Democrats remain ahead overall, more in the bank, but there is clearly a burst of giving to the GOP. Why?
A possible explanation is the Obama [...]

October 19, 1987 — October 19, 2009: Deja Vu All Over Again? »

Twenty-two years ago today the equity markets crashed. The Dow Jones Industrial average cratered by a whopping 22%!!
Have our markets, economy, and financial regulatory oversight progressed, regressed, or is it merely “deja vu all over again?” Well, with the markets up 1% on the day and 50% off the lows in March of [...]

If You Control The Message, You Control It All »

Thus proclaims the White House Communications Director, Anita Dunn. Of course, many of us actually knew this already, or strongly suspected that was the case. How nice to have someone in Obama’s administration, someone pretty high up,confirm it:
President Obama’s presidential campaign focused on “making” the news media cover certain issues while rarely communicating [...]

Is Obama Uncomfortable Around Women? »

Republished from The Huffington Post with the express permission of Amy Siskind, President and Co-Founder of The New Agenda.
There’s a sign going up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It reads: “Boy’s Club: Girls Not Allowed.”
Despite much talk of hope and change, President Obama seems largely tone-deaf to women and women’s issues. Post-racial [...]

Why Obama Will Increase Your Health Care Costs »

Today’s major newspapers are leading with an announcement from a coalition of the health insurance industry that, as my daddy used to say, simply states “good ol’ c.s.” (common sense):
Here’s the skinny on the announcement: When Obama’s health care plan forces higher expenses on health insurance companies, those companies will pass along the [...]

Here’s A Guy Who Deserves a Prize! »

Never heard of him? Well, Wendell Potter Should be a Household Name!

The (O) Ring »

You can’t kill me!   I’m just a kid!
Have you ever heard a gunshot ring throughout a neighborhood street? Have you ever heard church bells ring in the mourning of a soul who was lost by that bullet? Has anything ever rung true to you that you assume most people don’t get?
16-year-old [...]

a little reality check for the reality checkers… »

I stumbled upon the latest Reality Check brought to you by WhiteHouse.gov. Apparently the Obama administration is still obsessing over FOX news, this time targeting Glenn Beck. They took Beck to task, providing the “REALITY” to his “RHETORIC”. I provide the *ACTUAL REALITY*.
What topic do they take issue with? His comments on Afghanistan? Health Care? [...]

A Not So Happy Anniversary for Involuntary Investors »

Remember last October when Congress approved the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act and confiscated $700 billion of our tax dollars for a financial bailout? Back when many of us first became involuntary investors in Wall Street’s “too big to fail” financial institutions. Well, the Congressional Oversight Panel of the Senate Banking Committee, chaired by [...]

It Depends On What Your Definiton Of “Tax” Is »

In the continuation of my “Was He Lying Then, Or Is He Lying Now?” series, I have yet another video of “Then” and “Now.” I promise I’ll let go of this at some point soon, but there are just SO many things that keep coming up, especially in the Health Care arena, that I [...]

Them’s Fightin’ Words »

By now, most everyone has heard that President Carter claimed people who don’t support Obama do so because they are racists. Wow. Obviously, this is shocking on the face of it. If you have not heard this, the video is below. I also recommend two very good posts on this topic, one [...]

Leno Shows APORN’s Popularity While House Votes To Defund »

This came in from the Boston Globe last night:
The US House today joined the Senate in voting to defund ACORN, the community advocacy group beset by allegations of voter registration fraud and videotapes apparently showing employees advising conservative activists posing as a prostitute and pimp how to break the law.
The measure, offered as [...]

Pulling “Back The Curtain On ACORN” »

I came across an article the other day, and was really taken by it, especially as it came out in the midst of the undercover videos by James O’Keefe, four in total thus far, with more to come, which have gone far in exposing the underside of ACORN. O’Keefe’s staggering videos can be found [...]

The Master Orator and the Amateur »

The one and only. No teleprompters, no nothing but just plain old intellect talking — President Clinton paying tribute to Walter Cronkite at a memorial service held on Wednesday.

President Clinton’s health care reform speech to the Congress from 1993 and more below the fold.
