As Obama deliberately gives little drops of information on a "double-dip" recession and a bleak outlook on jobs for Americans, he is preparing us for a new stimulus from Pelosi's Congress that is forced to deal with our dire job situation as we head for the 2010 house elections.
Even though Congress believes that voters do not understand deficits, they do realize we understand that more than 1 out of every 10 Amercians is without work. Add to that the many who are only working part-time, ... Read Full Story

Image by Beverlykahuna via FlickrObama tells the American people not to jump to any conclusions regarding the slaughter of American soldiers....yet forget Obama's rash comments on Sgt. Joe Crowley who "acted stupidly". Obama was also shocked by the murder of George Tiller, one of the few doctors who provided late-term abortions. MSNBC revealed a slanted opinion when it reported: "all indications were that the man acted alone, although authorities were investigating whether he had any connec... Read Full Story
As many of us awaited to hear Obama address the Fort Hood tragedy, we were soon astounded that our President immediately failed to address a crisis occurring at a military base . As all major networks and cable news stations became focused on Obama and his address to the Tribal Conference, Obama seemed more intent on giving a "shout out" to a congressional medal of honor winner (who as it turns out...never received this high honor).
Americans were waiting for information. The horror o... Read Full Story
Nuns,Obama-care, and Patrick Kennedy became the topic of a lot of Catholic news commentary this weekend starting with Maureen Dowd and her new version of "The Nuns Story", full of a lot of Dowd's lambasting against the evil patriarchy of Rome. This commentary can be countered by an earlier article on the same topic by Elizabeth MacDonald's inspiring "How Catholic Nuns Shaped America." Both articles give one a better idea of what is going on in the American theater of Catholic politics than ... Read Full Story

Apparently the military has a lot of opinion it's giving about Obama's commandeering of the war, but fear of reprisal from the White House only allows them to speak anonymously with exception of Secretary Gates.
This is the type of confusing language coming from the White House and the news wires that report it: "... Read Full Story

Many of us who watch Fox News are not Republicans. In fact, many of the viewers Fox has acquired is due to the pro-Obama slant that belongs to the media in general. Fox is a news source that has asked the tough questions of the Obama administration. The Chicago-styled administration can not tolerate old-style journalism represented by reporters such as Chris Wallace and Major Garrett.
Fox News has its news programs and its opinion programs. The opinion programs have ... Read Full Story
