Obama Admin Revised Food Stamp Participation Report to Show Larger Inc
Here's something I discovered in the course of preparing a column which will appear elsewhere. It appears to speak to the lengths to which Barack Obama's administration and his campaign went to avoid having any kind of bad economic news appear before the fall elections.
By July of last year, the increase in food stamp program participation in the 42 months since Obama took office exceeded the…
Greta Van Susteren Strikes Back At Obama's Attack On Fox News
As NewsBusters reported, President Obama, in an interview published Sunday by The New Republic, said, "If a Republican member of Congress is not punished on Fox News or by Rush Limbaugh for working with a Democrat on a bill of common interest, then you'll see more of them doing it."
Within a few hours, Fox News's Greta Van Susteren struck back:
Paul Ryan: 'If We Had a Clinton Presidency, We Would Have Fixed This F
Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) made a comment on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday that is guaranteed to raise eyebrows on both sides of the aisle.
"If we had a Clinton presidency, if we had Erskine Bowles chief-of-staff at the White House, or President of the United States, I think we would have fixed this fiscal mess by now. That's not the kind of presidency we're dealing with right now."
Obama: I'd Get More Done If GOP Wasn't Punished By Fox and Limbaugh fo
"If a Republican member of Congress is not punished on Fox News or by Rush Limbaugh for working with a Democrat on a bill of common interest, then you'll see more of them doing it."
So said Barack Obama in an interview just published by The New Republic:
George Will Schools Donna Brazile: America's 'Going To Be an Assisted
ABC and CNN contributor Donna Brazile - posing as one of Barack Obama's trusted defenders in the media like she always does! - got a much-needed education Sunday about the President's profligate spending.
Countering Brazile's propaganda on ABC's This Week, George Will said, "A dollar spent on A cannot be spent on B...This is our future. We're going to be an assisted living home with an Army.…
Pat Buchanan Schools Eleanor Clift: 'You Don't Read What the Founding
Newsweek's Eleanor Clift got a much-needed education about the Founding Fathers and gay rights this weekend.
After she predictably gushed and fawned over President Obama's inaugural address on PBS's McLaughlin Group, syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan scolded, "If you think the Stonewall riot in a gay bar in Greenwich Village can be traced all the way back to Bunker Hill and the Founding…
Cal Thomas: 'Media Treated Obama as a Messiah, They’re Going to Trea
As NewsBusters reported last week, America's media were in total swoon mode over Hillary Clinton following her testimony before Congress.
On Saturday, syndicated columnist Cal Thomas said of their behavior on Fox News Watch, "They're going to part the waters like Moses did the Red Sea to give her a clear path to be the first woman president...They treated [Barack Obama] as a Messiah, they’re…
Kirsten Powers: ‘We Need to Hire Grown-ups to Cover the President
Despite her liberal beliefs, FNC commentator Kirsten Powers has really distinguished herself by her willingness to tell the truth about America's media elite which has moved from being a legion of skeptics into a team of cheerleaders during the presidency of Barack Obama.
Earlier this week, Powers acknowledged the discomfort that many statists feel when confronted by conservative beliefs…
Daily Kos Week in Review: Whacking Witchy Wingnuts
The Daily Kos gang enjoyed President Obama's lefty second inaugural address both because it affirmed their views and because they knew it would anger and annoy the right, many of whose beliefs are, one Kossack opined, "melting away."
As usual, each headline is preceded by the blogger's name or pseudonym.
Romney Reduced to 'Smelly Hobo', Chuckles Humor-Challenged Stephanie M
Never ceases to amaze me how little it takes for liberals to amuse themselves.
It wasn't enough for left-wing radio host Stephanie Miller to criticize Mitt Romney as petty for not attending President Obama's second inaugural, as one could reasonably do. No, Miller and her sidekicks denigrated Romney as someone now reduced to weeping in a fetal position (hence, less than fully human), pumping…
MSNBC Contributor Blames Republicans for Obama's Unconstitutional Rece
In a segment this morning discussing the breaking news that a panel of judges on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia unanimously ruled that some of President Obama's recess appointments had been made in an unconstitutional manner, MSNBC's Thomas Roberts turned to network contributor and former Democratic Senate staffer Jimmy Williams for his reaction.
Williams conceded the the…
Union-Represented AP Reporter Bemoans Decline in Union Membership, Adm
File this under "careful what you wish for."
In 2012, with a Democrat in the White House, union membership declined, not only as a percentage of the workforce, but in absolute numbers. Even though the related report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that the number of employed wage and salaried workers increased by almost 2.4 million, union membership fell by just under 400,000.…
Kirsten Powers: Liberals Shun Opposing Views Because They're Used to C
More and more, Fox News's left-leaning contributor Kirsten Powers is becoming a must-see analyst on the network.
Appearing on The O'Reilly Factor Wednesday, Powers said, "I think liberals because they are so used to controlling all the media...when they hear things that don't jibe with what they want to hear, it's very disconcerting and unsettling" (video follows with transcript and…
Wrong Again, Maddow - Several Groups Pulled Permits to Protest Obama I
Ah, that obsessive devotion to facts remains rigorous and unshakable.
Anchoring her network's coverage of President Obama's second inauguration, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow describes an aspect of the event that few people notice, aside from keen observers like her. (video clip after page break)
