I'm not referring to the commonly held notion that the number of people in the so-called middle class is shrinking. Instead, I'm referring to the fact that the definition of people who will be getting a middle class tax cut from an Obama administration is shrinking. Originally Sen. Barack Obama assured the American people that […]
The Washington Post returned to the issue of Sen. Barack Obama's campaign's refusal to turn on the basic Address Verification System on Wednesday, but it lets the Obama campaign get away with a whopper. When asked whether the campaign takes steps to verify whether a donor's name matches the name on the credit card used […]
The Washington Post has a report on the cover of today's paper that offers an incomplete and cursory analysis of Sen. Barack Obama's online fund-raising. Concerns about anonymous donations seeping into the campaign began to surface last month, mainly on conservative blogs. Some bloggers described their own attempts to display the flaws in Obama's fundraising […]
Last week some House Democrats held a hearing on a plan that would do away with 401(k) plans and replace them with what I'll call Social Security v2. A plan by Teresa Ghilarducci, professor of economic-policy analysis at the New School for Social Research in New York, contains elements that are being considered. She testified […]
Media bias is not always in how newspapers or the major TV networks cover an issue. Sometimes it is the choice whether or not to cover a story in the first place. The latest case in point is Rep. Tim Mahoney (D-Fla.). Mahoney replaced disgraced GOP congressman Mark Foley who had sent inappropriate text messages […]
Sen. Barack Obama's campaign raised $150 million last month. By the time the last check clears and the campaign goes into slumber mode until the next election (should he win), Obama will have spent more money than George W. Bush and John Kerry spent in 2004 combined. How this is supposed to "save" public financing […]
I posted earlier today on Sen. Joe Biden's comments that Barack Obama would face a manufactured crisis and screw it up. NBC and MSNBC have decided to report on the incident -- and they're using a completely different statement by Biden. They're juxtaposing a line Biden said at some other time about Obama having "steel […]
Sen. Joe "Six term" Biden was talking at a fund-raising event in Seattle last weekend when the evil Karl Rove used his powerful mind control ray to get Biden to predict doom and gloom -- if he and Barack Obama are elected. "Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of […]
Courtesy of Greg Mankiw comes this bit of news from Sen. Barack Obamas campaign: Obama is confident that we can come together to find a workable solution. He believes that one strong option to improve Social Security's long-term solvency is asking people who earn more than $250,000 to pay a little more into the system. […]
I had last night's debate playing on my computer screen while I was destroying cars on my Xbox 360 playing "Burnout: Paradise City." Word is that Sen. Barack Obama has purchased ads in a variety of video games, and I'm kinda hoping that I get to destroy some Obama-themed cars. The winner in last night's […]
