Obama: hey, things could be worse
President Obama is actually traveling all across America talking about how great the stimulus package is doing - but it's kind of a tough sell because most people in America know that the economy still really blows. Obama's excuse? Hey, it could be worse! Ref. Source 9
The coming tax tsunami
During the campaign, President Obama promised he would not raise taxes on anyone earning less than $250,000 a year. That promise was broken early and often - and it's about to all come crashing down in 2011, as every single American is set to get pummeled with tax hikes. Ref. Source 5
America: Yeah, Barack's a socialist
A new poll out suggests that 55% of Americans would describe Barack Obama as a socialist. It's a high number, although the mountain of evidence suggesting he is at the very least a socialist should make it even higher. Newsweek even declared 'we're all socialists now' after Obama's election, so what else do you need? Ref. Source 2
Obama apologizes to far left
This weekend the President recorded a message for a progressive who's who conference and had to apologize because he hasn't done enough. What did they expect was going to happen in the first 2 years - America to be full blown communists? Apparently because they seemed frustrated. Who do they think is standing in their way? YOU. What are they planning to do about you? Glenn talks about it on radio today. Ref. Source 2
From the most transparent administration ever
Barack Obama promised transparency, but he hasn't done a very good job sticking to that promise. The latest blow came from FrakenDodd's Financial (disaster) Reform bill - the SEC now does not have to comply to Freedom of Information Act requests. But don't worry - the SEC came out today and announced (seriously) that you can email them with any concerns. Wow. Glenn has more on radio today. Ref. Source 5
Obama targets Soccer Moms
President Obama did a hard hitting interview on The View today, nearly earning a Badge of Valor just for attempting it. He had to know going in there would be tough questions about his family, his coolness, and those naughty Republicans! Turns out he just wanted to charm soccer moms and get his poll numbers up. But can he still flash a smile and boost ratings? Ref. Source 2
POLL: 73% say gov too powerful
Despite this alarming statistic, this administration is still grabbing power whenever it can. Nearly three quarters of Americans now say that the government has too much power. It's an alarming trend, especially considering most of the power is in the hands of a couple people - one of those being 'the most dangerous man in America' Cass Sunstein. Ref. Source 8
Dreams from My Father
Glenn dives deep into Barack Obama's sordid childhood. Since the media won't bother to look into what his parents did and what they believed, Glenn has been reading Dreams from My Father and learning even more stunning things about why Obama believes as he does. Ref. Source 7
