Last week we learned that the Obama administration gave a $433 million no-bid contract to Siga Technologies, whose controlling shareholder is a Democrat donor, to make a smallpox vaccine that may not be needed and might not work. That deal stinks so badly that even a Democrat Senator has asked for an investigation:
Sen. Claire McCaskill, […]

DEM SENATOR CALLS FOR PROBE INTO OBAMA ADMINISTRATION NO-BID VACCINE CONTRACT
RATIONING ADVOCATE TO HEAD THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADVISORY BOARD
In today’s American Spectator I discuss the latest ghoul our President has dug up and set loose on the hapless electorate. Obama has nominated Henry J. Aaron to Chair this influential body, and that is not good news:
We already have a staunch rationing advocate, Donald Berwick, running the government health care program for the elderly. Now the […]
VIDEO: OBAMA THINKS HAWAII IS IN ASIA
A little reminder that Herman Cain and Rick Perry are not the only politicians who suffer from intermittent brain flatulence. And, while we’re on the subject of gaffes, I wonder if the President thinks Hawaii is the 57th state?

OBAMA AWARDS DEM DONOR A HUGE NO-BID CONTRACT FOR A DRUG WE DON’T NEED
In the fall of 2008, a certain Senator from Illinois—who also happened to be running for President—indignantly denounced the Bush administration and made the following promise to a group of gushing supporters:

EXECUTIVE ORDER GIVES MORE AUTHORITY TO AN ALREADY-POWER-DRUNK FDA
Today, Barack Obama bypassed your elected representatives in Congress to issue an imperial decree executive order giving the out-of-control Food & Drug Adminsitration even more power than it already wields:

DEBATE VIDEO: CAIN SAYS OWS SHOULD BE MARCHING IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE
When asked if he still stood by his anti-OWS comments from a couple of weeks ago, Cain emphatically said YES:
Wall Street didn’t put in failed economic policies. Wall Street didn’t spend a trillion dollars that didn’t do any good … They ought to be over in front of the White House taking out their frustrations:

VIDEO: YOU UP FOR A $1.5 TRILLION TAX HIKE?
American Crossroads has put out a new video highlighting the fact that the “jobs bill” President Obama is promoting on his bus tour through Virginia and North Carolina is actually a tax bill. Among other things, the ad features Bill Clinton saying that tax increases are a bad idea in a recession, which Obama himself used to say […]
RASMUSSEN: PIZZA 43, ARUGULA 41
That’s right. The latest survey shows Cain up by two on Obama. Is the former still a long shot? Perhaps. But remember that Obama has 100% name recognition and Cain is still not very well known to a lot of folks. And yet:
At the moment, the Georgia businessman is the only Republican with a lead […]
WOLF DISTILLS THE ESSENCE OF OBAMACARE
Milton Wolf, in his most recent column for the Washington Times about Barack Obama’s stubborn refusal to abandon the big-government policies that are destroying his presidency, captures the essense of ObamaCare:
Obamacare has become emblematic of big-government’s arrogant incompetence. It’s a 2,700-page monstrosity whose rules are still being written more than a year after its passage. Its […]
VIDEO: OBAMA VS. OBAMA ON TAX HIKES DURING A RECESSION
Today, the President threatened to veto any budget coming out of Congress that doesn’t include tax increases. In fact, he is actually insisting on a gigantic tax increase.
Think it’s a dumb idea to raise taxes during a recession? Well, until recently, so did he. Here’s a clip from 2009 in which Obama said you shouldn’t raise taxes in a recession:
