The State of the Union: Separation of powers?

Like many I am impressed at the delivery of the speech, the words and inflection delivered with precision.  Also like most, I am waiting for action.  Actions speech louder then words.  Oddly, within the speech were a few actions that broke through the rhetoric and will likely live on beyond the speech.

Legislative inaction

The first was when the President scolded [...]

Just watched V on Tivo and WOW…Obama is not happy.

I was excited to watch the re-birth of V, a mini-series from my childhood.   It has been updated to modern times.   Definitely had the feel of Heroes and/or Fringe.  But what was most stunning was the wording of the Visitors…Hope, Change, Universal Health care.

I stuck me as very anti-government, anti-big brother.   I was unaware [...]

Fox News is not a legitmate news agency…Let’s compare

The Obama administration, including the president himself, have come out swinging a Fox News.   They accuse Fox of pushing the Republican agenda and not being a legitimate news network.

Let’s be honest, they point to Beck and Hannity.  You will hear them mention “Let’s watch together and 5:00 and 9:00 and see what we mean.”  [...]

Obama speaks to your children

There has been a lot of hype about President Obama’s planned speech to public school students.   Over the long weekend that fervor hit our social network.   The simple question was, “what is the big deal?”

The simple answer (the one the left could not hear) was not the fact that he wanted to speak but [...]

Obama’ … Just words. Just speeches.

Obama does such a great job of saying on thing and doing another.    In blaming others for every ill .    But is was he himself that said “Just words.. Just Speeches”.    That actions are what matters.

He says he does not want the government to own banks or car companies.   But his actions go beyond [...]

This is what “news” has come to?

For Obama, hipness is what it is

This would not be so bad if this was Entertainment Tonight or even the Today Show, which are “almost- news agencies” already. But this was Politico. They spend about three written pages showcasing his “accomplishments” in being hip. Sighting authors of hip culture. I thought they we somewhat [...]

Obama Administration: These things that are now “torture”

With the discloser of the memos it has become very obvious that our definition of torture has softened a bit. I read through the events and lunched at times. I know it was not nice… but a caterpillar.. come on. I was thinking that would terrorize my daughter (she too thinks insects are out to [...]

100 days now what?

It has now been 100 days and the DOW hovers just over 8000.   Layoffs continue.   President Obama’s stated budget will dwarf all deficits ever recorded.   There is no hope in stopping in in Congress and they are likley to add more of their own projects to it.  At that is just the downpayment as we [...]

Lying through statistics.. Mexican gun trade

USA today: “Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives records show 90% of the weapons recovered and traced originate from a growing number of sources spanning from the Northwest to New England.” and this “2,000 weapons a day”

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein: “It is unacceptable to have 90 percent of the guns that are picked [...]

Political correctness gone amuck

Chia Pet Creator ‘Shocked’ After Walgreens Pulls Obama Model From Shelves

Come on. I would expect this to be a hot seller to his supporters. Is an Obama bobble head racist? What about the new Pepsi can? Should those be banned? I know this is “decisions made by a public company” not the government. But [...]
