President Obama spends campaign money almost the same as he spends our money (the difference being, he borrows from China when he can't take it from us) , then he trolls for more cash to spend.  

Is this why President Obama would not allow the Keystone XL Pipeline, as the article says, one cannot blame Canada, we can only hope that Canada will give us another chance after the November elections.

When the President can't get his way in Congress, he turns to Executive Orders.  All Hail the King!

What is going on with the White House Press Corps?


Michael Barone on  Two Liberal-Media Blindspots.

Carney dances, but not very well, while the WSJ calls on Sen. Reid to stay classy, Harry.  (he can't!!)

The Heritage Foundation with more on Solyndra. 

You won't read this in the main stream media.

Arthur Laffer on the real stimulus record.

Surprise, Mayor Bloomberg gets it right! Mr. Mayor stick to this and quit being a Nanny Mayor.

Let's hope Christine Quinn sticks with her position.

George J. Marlin is right! No one is forcing any official to run for re-election, they know what the salary is when they make the choice to run again.

Weekly Wrap-Up

This week we saw the Tea Party once again flex its muscles...

And we saw the American people flock to Chick-Fil-A to take a stand for freedom of speech and religion. Did Christine Quinn and her fellow censors get the message?

 

As Deroy Murdock notes in National Review, Chick-Fil-A-gate “confirms the intolerance of the supposedly ‘open-minded’ American Left.”

 

The media decided from the outset that Mitt Romney’s overseas trip would be a disaster – so they reported that it was a disaster. Charles Krauthammer gives us the real story...

 

Today’s unemployment numbers confirm the utter failure of Obama-nomics: The unemployment rate continues to creep upward, and job creation is still tepid.  

John Podhoretz notes that even before these latest numbers, we’ve been getting ambushed on all sides by alarming economic data. He also recalls President Obama’s words from 2009: “If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.” Fair enough.

Wendy Long, the Conservative Party and Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, responded to the grim economic news with a list of five practical policy changes that would kick-start the economy. 

Which policy reform do you believe would be the most effective in creating jobs and prosperity? Vote today in our new Weekly Poll.

This is yet another example of how Wendy Long has serious, sensible ideas for a better New York... while Kirsten Gillibrand has book clubs.

I hope you have a good book to read this weekend, and that you’ll make it a great one!

Congressman Peter King is right to call for FBI Director Mueller to expand the investigation into National Security leaks.

The Heritage Foundation asks if Conservative can be an environmentalists,  need they ask, of course we can, we respect our environment unlike some who worship it and understand the need to work outweighs the need to protect certain biological species.

PJ Media has a good column on President Obama's "you didn't build it yourself" statement.

I wonder what President Obama thinks of this presidential job creation chart, how will his spin-misters explain it?

I'm not surprised that Mitt Romney pays while President Obama doesn't.

No surprise here either; actually I am surprised he voted for it since he normally voted present, but then again did he actually vote for it or just support it by being a co-sponsor in 2007?

Is this the smoking gun in the fast and furious debacle. 

Karl Rove analyzes President Obama's ads.

News from Wendy Long here,  here and in the Buffalo News.  If you cannot donate due to President Obama's economy or can't find the time to knock on doors, you can email a letter to your local paper, as this woman did, and help Wendy win.  Help get her name out there and get the grassroots involved.  Ask Ted Cruz if it works.   Email her press releases to your friends and family,  together we can elect Wendy Long.

The IRS wants its share of each Gold Medal won in London.  America is one of only a handful of countries which taxes "worldwide" prize income earned overseas.

The Heritage Foundation reminds us that today is the day the Obama Administration ends our Nation's First Amendment right of religious freedom.   Today is also the day that the new HHS  rules seems to cater to sexual active women.  I really do not think this is the 'hope and change" Americans voted for 4 years ago, but we will find out in just over three months.

Desperation can lead people to do or say outlandish things, this is certainly beyond the pale.  Sen. Harry Reid also was beyond the pale when he stated that an unidentified "shareholder at Bain Capitol" said that Romney hadn't paid his taxes in 10 years.  I wonder how soon it will be before the main stream media starts reporting the Republican Presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney, is a felon.  The MSM certainly is doing its best to "paint" Mr. Romney as incapable of being president, fortunately there are some in the MSM that report the facts.

More on the Romney trip and how the MSM is undermining him.

NYC Council Speaker Quinn agrees that she overstepped her authority regarding Chick-fil-A.  Do you think Rahm Emanuel will?  Maybe if he sees this, Chicago voters lining up for Chick-fil-A.  Mayor Rahm should be more concerned about this than what the owner of Chick-fil-A thinks.

Citizens United and American Politics.

It really is getting harder and harder to find all the ways government wastes our tax dollars, but naming a project Pecan Street certainly peeks the imagination.  Learn about Pecan Street here.

Good article by George J. Marlin on the legislative session that ended in June.

Wednesday's with Walter E. Williams and a bonus Thomas Sowell.

The Heritage Foundation explains why the Chick-Fil-A "controversy" is important to all private business people.

The New York Post has a few words on the government interference of a private business expressing a belief.

Financial concerns are not limited to the federal government, Mercatus Center, explains how states finances will impact the whole country.

More on the debt crisis here.

The Heritage Foundation explains how President Obama is just plain wrong in his thinking that changing the work requirements for Welfare helps citizens.
Investor's Business Daily explains another pitfall President Obama created when he refused to approve the XL Pipeline....fortunately, election day is 98 days away and our ability to change the direction of our country is in our hands.

Another thank you to Judicial Watch.

Brit Hume on former President Clinton's role at the Democratic National Convention....personally I think Hume is spot-on.

Yesterday we mentioned that President Obama's big PR documentary on eliminating the world's most notorious killer most likely won't be released as planned prior to election day, today we learn that he may have called off the raid three times because his aides recommended it.

Tuesday's with Thomas Sowell.

It is nice to know that the New York Times is finally reporting to the American voters what conservatives have know since Obamacare/tax was passed.  What is surprising is that they are reporting this prior to the November elections.

More negative fallout from Obamacare/tax.

This certainly is not good news for the economy either. 

The President may be running campaign ads that he has reduced debt, but his budget office tells us a different story.

The cost of making purchases with your credit/debit card could be going up....thank Trial Lawyers again for increasing the cost of doing business.

Is he kidding? How will former President Clinton be able to do this with a straight face?

President Obama needs more than President Clinton to make a case for him and his failed policies, Charles Gasparino writes today that we are seriously looking at another recession. 

Thanks to Judicial Watch, it looks like President Obama's self promoting documentary won't be released in time to sway people before the elections. 

Governor Cuomo needs to do more regarding spending in New York State, and the New York Post is correct about the whining, however it is time for Governor Cuomo to remove many of the unnecessary mandates imposed on school districts and localities.

Justice Scalia made major waves yesterday with this announcement!

Weekly Wrap-Up

The Olympics – always an exciting time. Opening ceremonies are tonight. 

At the Huffington Post (via The Heritage Foundation), we learn that tonight’s extravaganza will feature “a dance number of nurses celebrating the National Health Service, the country's universal health program.”

If one of these dancers eventually throws out a knee or hip, they could face a long wait for medical care.

Meanwhile we’ve got plenty of competitions going on here at home.

If ruining an economy were an Olympic sport, surely Barack Obama would deserve the gold (despite lots of competition from Europe).

 

Let’s give the gold medal in pandering to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel, who’s on the attack against Chick-fil-A (after their gay marriage “controversy”) but embracing the virulently anti-gay Nation of Islam with open arms.

 

Here’s an overview of Chick-fil-A-gate, in case you missed a detail here or there.

 

Turns out, the anti-Chick-fil-A liberals are all talk, which makes sense as they have no legal leg to stand on.

   

Mike Huckabee has declared next Wednesday “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.”

 

Will you be showing your support for Chick-fil-A this week by stopping in for a sandwich or waffle fries?  Let us know in our new Weekly Poll.

The more we know about ObamaCare, the less there is to like.

 

Today we have some thoughts on Mitt Romney’s overseas excursion. The New York Post feels the trip is off to a good start, while Charles Krauthammer encourages Romney to remember that silence is golden, that actions speak louder than words, etc.

   

Wherever your travels take you this weekend, I hope you will have a great one!
