The market drops again…
…but the good news is: mortgage rates are mega-low! Time to buy a home! That is, if you’ve got any money left, or a job. Here are some possible reasons why the market is tanking today. And only 26% of … Continue reading →

The ominous Obamabus
If Darth Vader traveled by bus, this is undoubtedly the one he’d choose: But it would seem an odd choice for President Obama (I’m hardly the only one who’s used the Vader comparison). The bus has also been likened to … Continue reading →
Does Paul Ryan stand poised…
…at the edge of the cliff, ready to dive in? I respect Ryan, and I happen to think he’d make a good president. But I’m not at all sure he’s really going to take the leap. And is he too … Continue reading →
Have you noticed…
…that when people write articles critical of Obama these days, no one even bothers to call them racists?

This is news? Barack Obama’s aides and advisers are preparing to center the president’s reelection campaign on a ferocious personal assault on Mitt Romney’s character and business background, a strategy grounded in the early-stage expectation that the former Massachusetts governor … Continue reading →
Condescension, thy name is Obama

Obama’s debt ceiling presser
Just now I happened to listen to President Obama’s press conference on the debt ceiling negotiations. He talked an unsurprising “each side must compromise” line and made himself out to be the great conciliator. I find the entire process at … Continue reading →
Fareed Zakaria says…
…there’s no Obama Doctrine. So I guess that—on her next test administered by the Charles Gibsons of the world—Sarah Palin would be getting a presidential “doctrine” question wrong again, because I think she’d answer that the Obama Doctrine is “coddling … Continue reading →
Obama and the jets
I didn’t watch President Obama’s press conference yesterday. But many of those who did noted his continuation of the class war that is one of his very favorite ploys, as well as his hypocrisy, and his discomfort at answering questions … Continue reading →
