Founding Ideals

  In light of President Obama’s decision to evoke executive privilege we are running a reprieve of Safe Environment’s excellent cartoon titled “2 Sons”.   For the latest news – check out the following hash tags on twitter #fastandfurious & #rememberbrianterry

My father, a high school teacher, used to joke “Those that can – do, those that can’t – teach, those that can’t teach – teach teachers”. I never expected that axiom to be true of the President of the United States, until yesterday. Obama’s answer to a reporter’s question clearly demonstrated that you didn’t want [...]

President Obama often takes full advantage of the bully pulpit to excoriate political opponents or to register his displeasure with decisions that didn’t go his way. The naked attempt to pressure the Supreme Court in his remarks during the recent joint press conference continues the pattern. The President’s remarks were at times dishonest. More surprising is that the Presidents [...]

Originally published October 20, 2011 @ American Thinker   President Obama is in deep trouble, his approval numbers are at an all time low and his far left base is protesting in the street. More importantly, the President’s latest jobs bill (Stimulus II) is so unpopular that his own party exercised the “nuclear option” in [...]

Originally published April 26, 2011 @ American Thinker. The President has a great deal of faith in committees, except when he doesn’t. For example, last year he created, by executive order, the debt commission – a committee designed to provide recommendations on how the country can balance its books. The commission’s report came out in [...]

Listening to Obama’s budget speech was like an exercise in avoiding Jedi Mind tricks or Orwellian double speak. If you were confused, let me help you out.   When the President says “cut about $1 trillion in spending from the tax code”, what he means is that he will raise your taxes by 1 trillion [...]

After his party was handed a historic defeat by the electorate, President Obama is returning to one of the promises of his presidential campaign, bipartisanship. The principal of bipartisanship was a routine part of candidate Obama’s stump speech all through 2008, and was a constant theme running throughout the campaign. Even during his election night [...]

The Huffington post headline screams Beck Borrows Lines From Obama 2008 Stump Speech During DC Rally. WOAH – you think to yourself, do we have another case of “Bidenitis“? When one considers the source, there is no surprise to learn that that facts are far removed from the headline. Here are the two quotes; Beck: [...]

Originally published August 16, 2010 @ American Thinker Aaron Gee   President Obama’s penchant taking a bad situation and making it worse was on full display again during the “clarification” of remarks he made on Friday. It seems that Obama wasn’t really commenting on the mosque, but religious freedom.   Obama relies on the same [...]

President Obama almost seems eager for a crushing mid term defeat of his party and his comments last night surely helped his political adversaries. The President missed a prime opportunity to help defuse the growing contentious issue of the “ground zero” mosque. Instead last night’s comments on the deliberately provocative mosque showed a tone deafness [...]
