After the fanfare and good tidings which created that tingling sensation that ran up and down our spines when Barack Obama and team redistributed more of our federal tax dollars through the TARP scheme for “shovel ready” jobs (remember Jobs, Jobs, Jobs) it’s time to see exactly what the consequences are.  First of all, no one can really document the success or inherent failure of the bailout because much of the statistics reported on the government web site are fictitious, listing districts and towns that don’t exist as having received dollars from nanny.  We do know that most of the money has never been spent even though we were told that we must act immediately.  Today on the front page of the Philadelphia Inquirer, our liberal governor, “slick...

The USPSTF, (United States Preventive Services Task Force) a panel of independent medical experts but part of the US Department of Health and Human Services, said it was recommending against annual mammograms for women between the ages of 40 and 49, saying the risks outweighed the benefits from earlier screening. That …announcement, which goes against a trend of recommending increased screening by cancer agencies, has left many confused. This is especially true since the American Cancer Society and the ACOG (American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology) disagree with the recommendation. Now honestly, If you are a woman reading this, how do you feel about the recent recommendation by the government panel of “medical experts?” Guys, how do you...

It’s hidden deep on page B1 of the  Philadelphia Inquirer and barely recognizable in the shroud of a local opinion column, but the facts are there.  Philadelphia, one of the Northeast bastions of liberal politics and appointed research laboratory for all that Obamanation stands for, demonstrates the waste and inefficiency of the so-called stimulus money, provided and funded, by the taxpayer’s hard earned money.  Under the superb and brilliant leadership of slick Eddie (Democrat Ed Rendell former mayor of Philadelphia and now Governor) Pennsylvania ranks 50th in creating new jobs from the $787 billion federal stimulus program.  We have an unemployment rate of 8.8%.  As Karen Heller (local columnist) puts it, “the stimulus was supposed to...

http://bit.ly/1DQsBL  Check this out by Peggy Noonan.   I think in addition to disappointment the American people are feeling right now, there is a real sense of fear and anger.  Next week there are important elections  (Governors races in Virginia and New Jersey) which present the first real opportunity for the American people to communicate to our POTUS  what we think of his ultra liberal administration and policies since we erred in electing him. In addition to Virginia and New Jersey where the polls show both Republican candidates to be leading, the New York District 23 race pitted a liberal democrat, vs. a liberal republican, vs. a Reagan Conservative.  Today the liberal republican dropped out of the race because she was loosing in the polls.  The...

Our POTUS has recently finished his hajj routing him through European countries from Germany to Egypt, finally culminating at the altar of the United Nations.  This was an apologetic tour explaining America’s culpability in all that ails the world from war, to poverty, to ruination of the climate.  The idea that the US is not exceptional in it’s history or in her positive contributions which has made the world a better place to live,  seems to be the theme behind much of what the Obama administration and his Capital Hill minions promulgate.  Charles Krauthammer summarizes the definition of the New Liberalism as the following: For what might be called the New Liberalism, the renunciation of [American] power is rooted…in the conviction that...
