Imagine when they run your healthcare.

[ABC's The Note] ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: The chairman of the Obama administration’s Recovery Board is telling lawmakers that he can’t certify jobs data posted at the Recovery.gov Web site — and doesn’t have access to a “master list” of stimulus recipients that have neglected to report data.
Super bang-up job there! Imagine how efficient [...]

Stossel: Conceited politicians.

Here’s John Stossel. All American taxpayers should share his sentiments:
I’ve written before about the conceit of politicians who dole out taxpayers’ money and then expect that people worship them for the help they give. Occasionally, a politician says it outright, like in this short video of Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell that came out today:
“State workers [...]

Name that party.

Count it. Paragraph one, two, three, four, five.
Sen. Daniel K. Inouye’s staff contacted federal regulators last fall to ask about the bailout application of an ailing Hawaii bank that he had helped to establish and where he has invested the bulk of his personal wealth.
The bank, Central Pacific Financial, was an unlikely candidate for a [...]

Re: Sanford, Ensign and hypocrisy.

The liberal media pile-on over the Sanford and Ensign extra-marital affairs aren’t just a collaboration of double standards, they’re off base too.
Consider the New York Times’ Gail Collins:
I’m thinking it’s time for the Republicans to apologize for putting us through the Clinton impeachment. We seem to have pretty well established that sexual stone-throwing is a [...]

The Statist and Soft Tyranny.

In light of the Obama administration’s decision to ram down the throat of the American consumer Utopian fuel-efficiency standards I found the following excerpt from Mark Levin appropriate:
The modern liberal believes in the supremacy of the state, thereby rejecting the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the order of the civil society, in whole [...]

HopeNChange Means More Crooks.

Yep, President Obama’s “Car Czar” is involved in a pay-for-play scheme. Oh, but none dare call it a bribe…
[WSJ] Steven Rattner, the leader of the Obama administration’s auto task force, was one of the executives involved with payments under scrutiny in a probe of an alleged kickback scheme at New York state’s pension fund, according [...]

Re: Ted Stevens.

[NY Times] WASHINGTON — The Justice Department moved on Wednesday morning to drop all charges against former Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska, who narrowly lost his seat last year shortly after being convicted on seven felony counts of ethics violations.
In a stunning development, Justice Department lawyers told a federal court that they had discovered a [...]

Outraged in wrong direction.

Just so we’re all clear. We’ve got a bunch of Congressmen and administration officials who brokered these bailout deals with the financial community, were aware of and approved of retention bonuses, then once the deals came to the public light have the gall to act outraged.
If you haven’t yet read the open resignation letter by [...]

CNN’s “apology” to Obama.

And the liberal community has the gall to claim that Rush Limbaugh, et. al. right-wing radio hosts, have too much say over the conservative community? Warner Huston wonders, “Since when do reporters ever come out with a more than 700 word piece to explain why they asked the president a question?”
Answer: Ever since the empowerment [...]

Re: Those AIG bonuses

Sure it’s sickening that AIG officials such as AIG CEO Charles Liddy are getting bonus money, but perhaps not for the reason you’d think.
First thing to note: these weren’t performance bonuses, but retention bonuses. That’s a whole different ball game, based on promises made long before anyone knew the terms TARP or bailout, and it [...]
