Should Barack Obama be criticized for playing golf while oil spills?
2010-06-23 00:53:00 Barack Obama has been taking some leisure time as of late, playing a round of golf, taking in a White Sox baseball game, and getting criticized for doing it. RNC Chairman Michael Steele stated, "As oil continues to spill in the Gulf and unemployment hovers at 10 percent, the President can no longer take his eye off the 'oil.' '' Very punny, Mr. Steele! Mr. Steele does have a point with regards to Obama's treatment of the oil spill. In my opinion, the President waited almost two months to connect with BP Chairman Tony Hayward and, after a twenty-minute closed door meeting, came away with a whopping $20 billion settlement that BP may or may not have in its coffers. The taxpayer is going to wind up with the burden once again unless the public helps come up with solutions. RT @stephlovescards Have u seen this? http://bit.ly/9eQeFY #Obama #BP take notice and clean up the oil spill already! "President Obama finds himself on yet another golf course as oil continues to spew i...

The document on right-wing extremism sent last week by this department?s Office of Intelligence and Analysis is one in an ongoing series of assessments to provide situational awareness to state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies on the phenomenon and trends of violent radicalization in the United States. I was briefed on the general topic, which is one that struck a nerve as someone personally involved in the Timothy McVeigh prosecution.Let me be very clear: we monitor the risks of violent extremism taking root here in the United States. We don?t have the luxury of focusing our efforts on one group; we must protect the country from terrorism whether foreign or homegrown, and regardless of the ideology that motivates its violence.We are on the lookout for criminal and terrorist ...

Michael Steele; Man of Steele
2009-03-05 18:24:00 Yo Eric, Michael Steele got the memo: “I just want to make one thing very clear. Folks need to understand what’s happening here, Sean. You’ve already talked about it. This is a systematic effort, I think, very well planned out to distract. They’re saying, “Oh, yeah, prices are going up for everything you have to pay for. Oh, let’s talk about Rush… Your 401K just dropped. Let’s talk about Rush… The stock market it tanking. Let’s talk about Rush…” We get it. We’ve figured it out now what the game plan is.” Video: Hat tip and More: Gateway Pundit: The Obama Economic Disaster continued today as stocks dropped another 174 points out of the blocks.

Message to Eric Cantor And Michael Steele
2009-03-03 15:31:00 I’ve been watching this grudge match between Michael Steele and the grass roots, including Rush Limbaugh, with a jaundiced eye. I’ve seen this developing before, and frankly I see it as a part of the anti-Republican-grassroots  e-fforts I’ve commented on in other forms and other forums. It’s why I’ve not commented on it here before now. Steele has since apologized for his comments, and that’s a start. But it’s not nearly the whole thing.  It’s interesting; Just today, I posted an article over at Pajamas Media as regards a rift between the grass roots and the Republican establishment. It certainly appears to me that the takeaway from this Steele v Limbaugh exchange, whatever else might be said, is that Limbaugh is not as the Democrats have been trying to cast him, a part of the Republican leadership. He is, in fact, part of the much Republican maligned grassroots, albeit one of the more visible members. Why would the Democrats tr...

Michael Steele: Man of Rubber
2009-03-02 23:14:00 Michael Steele has dismissed Rush Limbaugh as a mere entertainer, CNN: Late last week, Steele told CNN’s D.L. Hughley that Limbaugh is an “entertainer” whose comments are “ugly.” El wrongo moose breath, Sam Youngman, Hill: White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, who last month blasted CNBC host Rick Santelli from the podium in the briefing room, challenged reporters on Monday to ask Republicans if they agree with Limbaugh’s desire. When a mere radio commentator can make the White House howl in pain, it is time to twist the knife, not offer a bandage. Presidents don’t look good when engaged in a urination contest with a radio commentator. Mr. Steele, calling attention to President when the White House playing the role of a fool, is part of your job.  You ought send Rush a thank you card.
