Americans not warming to big government
2009-09-22 02:00:00 Since President Obama took office in January, every poll (I’ve seen) measuring popular support on the relative levels of federal spending shows a substantial majority or considerable plurality preferring reducing the size of the government to increasing expenditures. The latest Gallup poll confirms what we’ve been observing these past eight months (and even before): 57% of ...

Americans Prefer Health Care Status Quo to Obamacare
2009-09-18 18:00:00 Given the high percentage of Americans who are satisfied with the current health care, it’s no wonder that polls have repeatedly shown (at least since this summer) that we prefer the status quo to the various health care plans proposed by President Obama and the Democrats. In July, Rasmussen found that a plurality opposed health ...

Shopping for Sport No Longer Fun For Americans Because They Can't Play to P
2009-08-25 15:49:00 It's every man, woman and child for themselves in this day and age and time zone of American money sports history. Think of it as the World Series of Money where Americans play against other Americans and then call it a World Series. Once again as evidenced by this World Series Baseball Concept, Americans sense of "isolationism"(We're Number 1) still exists and some have no sense of "The rest of the World" even existing. Did you happen to notice that the largest bank failure of the year happened last week causing the FDIC to run out of money? In ordinary times, this would be considered a really, really big deal. The FDIC is supposed to be the last line of defense against a run on the nation’s banks. Now, not only do we continue to see banks going under on a daily basis, but the government agency that was designed to back-stop the entire banking system is out of money too. Doesn’t anyone find this at least mildly alarming? Judging by the amount of news coverage the story got, a...

Most Americans not ready for Health Care debate, says TV news
2009-08-14 19:31:00 Health care is complicated and boring. That's probably why the press is focusing on the rowdier town hall crowds and sensational statements by Sarah Palin instead of the plan itself. As usual, it's hard to say whether people prefer this to the real issue or the media just think they do. Whom does this benefit? It could be that the White House knows that the more people learn about the plan the more they'll dislike it so it prefers the distraction. Meanwhile, CNN has banned talk radio personalities from coming on and commenting on the issue. Talk show hosts differ in their approach, intelligence, and knowledge. I guess a blanket ban based on a stereotype is easier than examining such distinctions. I don't listen to all of talk radio, but the shows that I've listened to have done a much better job of covering the issue than television. Finally, disinformation is inevitable. Let's correct those. The bill is the thing. SHARETHIS.addEntry( { t...

OBAMA ASKS AMERICANS TO SPY ON EACH OTHER
2009-08-05 18:48:00 The Obama Administration is trying to save its unpopular health care reform bill through what can only be described as "Soviet style" tactics. Indeed, the White House blog has asked American's to inform, the administration about any dissenting persons, or information. "There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov." Without jumping into a debate on the merits of the health care proposal, or indeed just what the administration is after here, we simply want to pose a question to anyone listening. Are you comfortable knowing that our President and his advisers, want to kn...

Limbaugh Pokes Fun Of Americans Participating In Recession
2009-05-06 05:51:00 Rush Limbaugh spoke before the Heritage Foundation on Monday evening to address the top donors of the foundation.  Limbaugh spoke about the recession and how easy it has been for him to over come it.  Limbaugh joked that he never had a down year and that even now his ratings and bookings are up.  "So I always believed that if we’re going to have a recession, just don’t participate," Limbaugh said.  Simple words coming from someone who sits and offends all day.  How about the factory worker who is forced to participate in a recession by being down-sized?  It sure is easy to make fun of those who are less well off as you but it really is not that simple.  Every time talks of a looming recession force consumers to reconsider their buying habits workers all over suffer from lowered demand.  Wouldn't it be great if people stopped listening to Rush every time he made an insensitive, racist, or off handed remark?  Perhaps Rush would suffer his own "ratings recession." Everyo...

The Americans (arrogant Version)
2009-04-04 23:18:00 Obama the unlearned one  traveled to Europe to tell the unwashed masses that his fellow American were ‘arrogant’. Philip Sherwell, Telegraph (UK): His references to American “arrogance” and its “dismissive” attitude were viewed by some commentators as an unwarranted attack on his homeland while travelling abroad. In a speech in France, a country that has been a bastion of anti-US sentiment in recent years, the President said: “In America, there is a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive. We were arrogant in 1775. 1944, and 1947.   Ronald Reagan was arrogant, albeit with an Irish charm when said: General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and eastern Europe, if you seek li...

Microsoft Axes Americans - Senator Chuck Grassley Asks Why Not Temporary Gu
2009-01-26 01:26:00 Guest workers are supposed to be temporary. To fill a temporary labor shortage when there are not enough U.S. workers. Or at least that's the rhetoric. Of course the law is quite different. So, one would think that first to go in layoffs would be the temporary guest workers. Not so! Microsoft is laying off 5,000 workers and additionally none in India. Of course Microsoft lobbies for more cheap labor which displaces U.S. workers so these massive layoffs are the height of hypocrisy.
