You’ve probably heard this already, but, hey, what the hell George W. Bush’s job approval rating as president has spiked to 47 percent, according to a Gallup poll released Monday. That’s 1 point higher than President Barack Obama’s job approval rating in a poll taken the same week. Do I personally rate him that high? […]

Especially the parts about raising taxes and cutting the military: Some Fiscal Reality The draft proposal by the chairmen of President Obama’s deficit-reduction commission was a welcome antidote to the low-minded debate that dominated the midterm elections, in which politicians all vowed to reduce the deficit but offered no credible plans. By low minded debate, […]

He also refuses to bend on extending the tax cuts. And don’t expect him to not campaign. Days after Democrats received a self-described “shellacking” at the polls, President Obama called for an end to campaigning and an embrace of compromise. But he signaled no willingness to bend on the first challenge likely to face him […]

With less than 24 hours left till the final voting for the 2010 midterm elections starts, and about 36 till Democrats realize how far their house of Greek cards has fallen, liberals are in a snit, starting with MSNBC, where they realize just how bad it is going to be: Poll suggests Dems will face […]

One has to wonder whether this trial balloon comes from the administration, or the Associated Press. Either way, if Obama gives the deficit the same attention he gave jobs creation, it’ll balloon even more Preparing for political life after a bruising election, President Barack Obama will put greater emphasis on fiscal discipline, a nod to […]

Yet another of a long line of “in kind” campaign contributions from the NY Times. Shocker In a troubling sign for Democrats as they head into the midterm elections, their signature tax cut of the past two years, which decreased income taxes by up to $400 a year for individuals and $800 for married couples, […]

Personally, I’ll never understand the liberal doctrine to punish people for doing well, instead of applauding them and incentivizing them to pump that money back into the private sector, creating jobs and wealth down the food chain. Alas, it is not to be President Barack Obama plans to raise taxes on “the rich,†and he […]

Really, though, is anyone truly surprised by this information? The Post’s T.W. Farnum did some research and found that out of the total sum, just 638 workers on Capitol Hill owe the IRS $9.3 million in back taxes. As in, overdue. The IRS gets stiffed by the legislative body that controls its budget. How Washington […]

If it’s a day ending in a “y”, it must be a day where an inside the beltway mentality liberal is making an absurd argument, casting blame, naming problems, but, unable to provide any rationale for his/her solutions. Over at Powerline, Paul eviscerates Excitable Matthew Yglesias over Matty’s ridiculous “Summer of Fear” opinion piece in […]
