Obama: The Economy is Good

The Dodd-Frank recession has been ongoing for almost two years. There are fears of a double dip recession but since we really haven’t climbed out of the current one, these fears are premature. All of this, in spite of passing a stimulus bill in excess of $862 billion on top of TARP bailouts. A second [...]

It’s Not What It Seems

While President Obama focused all his energies on passing the health care bill, the American people watched as the first stimulus bill failed to produce jobs.  While President Obama focused all his energies on passing the financial regulation bill, the American people watched as the second stimulus bill failed to produce jobs.  Now, as President [...]

Why Mr. Obama Will Never Serve a Second Term

The 2008-2009 Dodd-Frank Recession shrank United States Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by -10.9%. The policies of the Bush and Obama administrations further worsened the economy as unemployment hovers just below 10%. The Obama administration has followed in the footsteps of Franklin Roosevelt and replicated his failure.  Henry Morganthau, Treasury Secretary under Franklin Roosevelt, admitted, “”We [...]

Our Attorney General, Eric Holder, once called Americans cowards on race yet he backed down on prosecuting members of the New Black Panthers who intimidated white voters solely because they were black.  We now know who the real moral coward is.

Day 57 – He Gave Another Speech

It is the history of secular progressive-socialists to “declare war” on something, to speak in military terms in an attempt to rally citizens. Franklin Roosevelt  declared “war against the emergency [great depression], as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe.” Lyndon Johnson [...]
