Wednesday, I wrote this post questioning whether President Obama was committed to winning. I didn’t have to wait long for the answer:
The President may announce he’s sending tens of thousands more troops to Afghanistan, but in doing so, he’ll emphasize how he’ll eventually bring them home.
“The president does [...]

With even the British complaining about President Obama’s inaction, there’s a more important question to ask. First, here’s what British Defense Secretary Bob Ainsworth is quoted as saying:
“We have suffered a lot of losses; we have had a period of hiatus while (General] McChrystal’s plan and his requested uplift [...]

Republicans have extended their lead in the generic Congressional ballot to their highest level of the year, according to the latest Rasmussen survey of likely voters. The overall Republican rating has not gone beyond their year-long high of 44%, but Democrats continue to decline. Only 37% would vote for [...]
Thanksgiving means many things to many people and may have been morphed to suit their needs, but I prefer to get back to basics and read the original Thanksgiving proclamation from George Washington. Archiving Early America has this write up on the history of the holiday that serves well [...]

I’d like my turkey well-done and my government raw this Thanksgiving.
Many Americans scrupulously maintain their health. They’re “up in the gym, working on their fitness,” while their government is a bloated gourmand. Amazingly, a few of the same Starbucks Skinny Latte-loving, granola-popping, treadmill-trotting Americans cheer Uncle Sam: [...]
Earlier this morning, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Bernadine Healy, the Health Editor for US News and World Report, about the efforts by Democrats to reform the American health-care system. Dr. Healy is uniquely positioned to offer analysis on this topic; she served on two Presidential task [...]
Seven-state West North Central Geographical Division of the Midwest continues to have the lowest unemployment rate in the nation
Although Minnesota's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased to 7.6 percent for the month of October, the Gopher State's trend in jobless claims has generally been headed in the right [...]
The Congressional Budget Office had predicted that the recession would start to recover by the second half of 2009 without the government doing anything. Well we’ve spent all this money, it’s fair to see how it’s working out.
Per statistics from the Department of Labor
Well hell, I’d feel [...]
Probably not in any numbers and at the end of the day MC knows liberals go down with the ship because there is nowhere else for them to go. Still, Roger Cohen, in an article titled "Obama In His Labyrinth" (cutesy headline taking off from Garcia [...] Most of this segment covers whether the American public is “waking up” to the difference between Barack Obama’s rhetoric and his performance, but both Tim Pawlenty and Sean Hannity get to the details — especially on jobs and the economy. Pawlenty says that both Obama and Congress have stopped listening [...]
It is clear now that even the Obama Administration knows that the Porkulus bill was a massive FAIL!
The Big Question: Does the jobs bill push mean the stimulus failed?
The $787 billion spending spree was based on the discredited Keynesian theory that did not work for Hoover [...]
[Yes, I know this is weeks late. -- author]
There are all kinds of interpretations of Tuesday's election results and all of them different. The Obama administration insists that the results have nothing to do with him even though his active campaigning in Virginia and New Jersey seems to have done more [...]

Recent criticisms of Tim Pawlenty’s nascent (if undeclared) presidential campaign have focused on the governor’s strategy of trying to appeal to far-right Republicans instead of being true to his more moderate past (his “Romneyfication,” if you will). Yet during his appearance on Sean Hannity’s show yesterday it’s Pawlenty who [...]
Via Andrew Malcolm; Sarah Palin’s numbers are rising as fast as The One’s are dropping:
Not that it matters politically because obviously she’s a female Republican dunce and he’s a male Democrat genius.
But Sarah Palin’s poll numbers are strengthening.
And Barack Obama’s are sliding.
Guess what? They’re about to meet in the 40’s.

It seems like President Obama’s Approval Index hits a new low each month. This month is no different:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent [...]

WASHINGTON — No matter how you slice it, President Obama has a tough month ahead.
The Senate vote on Saturday to debate health-care reform gave Mr. Obama a momentary victory, but he’s got weeks of haggling ahead and probably more than a few “perils of Pauline” moments to keep reform prospects [...]
The director of the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library refused to accommodate police and union attorneys who tried to pressure her to yank the 2008 Metro Gang Strike Force report from its website. “It was pretty amazing,” said Robbie LaFleur. “I have been [...]
