The Harry Reid Brood

Harry Reid, already looked at as a weasel by most in the country (and his state), is dragging his son down as well. Rory Reid, who is running for Nevada Governor, trails Republican Brian Sandoval by 22 points in the race. Reid, who can't distance himself from his dad fast enough, has dropped his last name from his most recent advertising. As if the state won't realize he isn't related (or associated) with his dad. Speaking of, the Senate Majority Leader is still politically crippled. Despite having a huge war chest, he still trails Republican upstart Sharron Angle by 7 points in the race for Nevada Senate in November.

There's no doubt that taking down Harry Reid would be the trophy win of this election cycle for the GOP, ala Tom Daschle in 2004. Let's hope!

Democrat article on Obama

Here's a great article on Obama's naive foreign policy stances by a lifelong liberal Democrat from New York, Mort Zuckerman. Great read:

Oil spill and agenda

A few things to note as we are on day 58 of the BP oil spill:

1. Obama gave his first Oval Office address last night, with underwhelming results. Chris Matthews and Obama lapdog Olbermann both thought he didn't show executive command. Other commentators said it was dry and too little, too late.
2. He is trotting out the Climate bill "Cap and Tax" now, which is hugely unpopular. Never let a crisis go to waste, right Obama?
3. He's putting a moratorium on drilling for the next six months in the gulf. Wonder how many thousands of jobs that will lose?
4. His approval rating is at 42 percent....and 44 percent now have a "strong" disapproval of Obama.
5. The New York Times came out with an exhaustive story the other day about how badly managed the cleanup has been.
6. Louisianan's think Bush handled Katrina better than Obama is handling the oil spill, by a 15 point margin in the poll.

With all that being said, I hope Obama stops being so preachy about how government can solve and handle everything with such precision. This is the latest example that they can't. I don't cast as much blame on Obama as many fellow conservatives will, being that it's a disaster unlike any other. But I do challenge him on saying how poorly Bush did, while most think he's done worse. So far, he hasn't admitted any federal failings... We'll see..

Obama cannot lead

Barack Obama, the cool Harvard Law Grad and former community agitator-- oh, I mean organizer, simply does not know how to lead. It's pretty difficult to turn somebody who is not a leader, into one. Of course, we know that the President of the United States HAS to be a leader. Case in point, whenever there is a difficult situation Obama has to handle, he blames others for the problem, instead of figuring out a way to lead his country out of the mess. His blaming of President Bush is becoming very tiresome. This is true with the BP oil spill (the well was approved by Obama's admin no less than 10 days before the spill) where Obama blamed the Bush Admins lack of regulations. But I do have to ask, if Bush had lax regulations, don't you think over the past year and a half Obama would have addressed this? Anyway, that is just a tired old talking point.

I was reading an article in the LA Times, one of the most liberal papers in the country. The article talked about Obama blaming Bush for bad regulations that may have caused the spill. When reading the reader comments at the end of the article, no less than 65 of the 67 comments were about how Obama cannot take responsibility, and cannot blame somebody else for a problems that the country elected him President to solve. So if 65 of 67 comments are anti-Obama in the LAT, what does that tell you? Maybe nothing, but it does show that people are getting sick and tired of Obama's act.

White House wants to buy off congressman

In an attempt to keep congressman Joe Sestak from running against White House preferred candidate Arlen Specter for Pennsylvania Senate, Sestak maintains the White House Admin. bribed Sestak with a administration position if he backed out from running. Of course, Sestak eventually beat Specter. But the question remains, did the White House bribe Sestak, which is a felony? Every time the press has asked an admin official, they have NOT answered the question, thus not denying it.

Once again I have to ask Mr. President, is this the change we were supposed to believe in???

Rand Paul begs Obama to campaign for his opponent

Rand Paul, winner of the Republican Primary in Kentucky, is pleading with President Obama to campaign for Paul's Democrat opponent. Classic!! Nothing like mocking the unpopular President...and incredibly unpopular in states like Kentucky.

So Obama has publicly backed strongly four candidates since becoming President. Here they are and the results:

• Creigh Deeds for Governor of Virginia. Deeds was smashed by Bob McDonnell by 18 points in 2009 race. Obama campaigned for Deeds on more than one occasion.
  
• Jon Corzine for Governor of New Jersey. Corzine lost to Chris Christie by 5 points, despite being a liberal state. Obama and Corzine were closely aligned.
• Martha Coakley for Senator of Massachusetts. In the most liberal of liberal states, Republican Scott Brown (with help from the Tea Party) beat Coakley by about 5 points. Obama campaigned with Coakley the week of the contest. Insult to injury for Obama- Brown promised to be the vote trying to block Obama's health care plan.
• Arlen Specter for Senate in Pennsylvania. Specter lost his primary battle to Democrat Joe Sestak. Specter switched his allegiance to the Dems back in 2009 so Obama could get his unpopular programs through.

So needless to say, Obama hasn't had any luck trying to sway the public into voting for his preferred candidates. Let's just hope this trend continues from November 2010, til his re-election in 2012!!

Eric Holder hasn't ready Arizona Immigration Bill

Attorney General Eric Holder has NOT read the Arizona Immigration bill. Nonetheless, Holder is thinking about suing Arizona for their law that Governor Brewer signed. If Holder would actually read the bill and quit kowtowing to the ACLU and liberal wackos, he would come to find that the bill is similar, if not identical to the federal law on illegal immigration. Holder is nothing short of a disgrace!
