At CNN (and presumably other lamestream media outlets), they’re trumpeting the “great news” about the reduction in the unemployment rate from December’s 8.5% to 8.3% in January.

Gee, I wonder why? A quick look at KBB.com tells me that this car is worth about $17,598 in excellent condition (and most used cars aren’t).

Various race-baiting demagoguers have stated it’s raaaaacist to call Barry the Petulant Boy-King Obama the “food stamp president,” as Newt Gingrich did in a couple of the Republican debates. If he’s not the food stamp president, then what of this story from Big Government? Over the last three years, the number of Americans on food [...]

Yes, the guy with the big ears took over Main Street, USA (restricting all the little people who were on vacations that they paid for) for a speech. No, not Mickey – the one who’s occupying the White House. Talk about setting yourself up for jokes. See more pictures at Buzzfeed

Ezra Levant of The Source (Canada) examines Obama’s confounding decision to reject the Keystone XL pipeline project. He rightly determines that Obama chooses the Saudis and our enemy Hugo Chavez to supply oil over the Canadians, our friends. He also features Obama’s lies about eliminating our dependence on Middle Eastern and Venezuelan oil.

From Allen West’s Facebook page. He calls ‘em like he sees ‘em. All Americans, black or white – and every shade in between – must be allowed to voice their opinions, level their criticisms and engage in candid discussion without fear of being labeled “racist” simply because of the color of their skin. This is [...]

Masterful, yes, if your specialty is sending the U.S. economy right down the toilet. Wile E. Obama and his ACME Economic Destruction Co. have been doing a masterful job of that. Here’s Oprah, genuflecting: And here’s some truth about Chicago Jesus and his “mastery” of the economy: Gas prices (which, he promised, would “necessarily rise”). [...]

Bill Whittle describes our situation perfectly: we have spent all the money there is, and all the money there will be for years to come. It cannot go on. It won’t be pretty, but it can be done. Who will do it? We must do it.

Looks like the Petulant Boy-King can’t win. He’s lost ground with the independents and some Democrats. Now, he’s losing the whacked-out far-left branch of his constituency. First Matt Damon, then Angelina Jolie, and now Harry Belafonte: “My question is, what legacy will he leave, having the opportunity to serve under such hugely dramatic circumstances and [...]
