Barack Obama’s Promises – Advice Taken
Back in November, I wrote a post advising then President-Elect Barack Obama how to make lots of promises, but not necessarily keep them. Whether he was aware of it or not, he has been following my advice perfectly. The man has made plenty of promises, but failed to follow through on very much at all. [...]
Barack Obama – Miserable Failure
President Barack Obama is on track to be one of the worst presidents in history. Having been in office less than a year, he has built a track record in failure like no other president before him. As his stated goals have been to change the very ideals of America, Obama’s failures may be a [...]
One Tax-Cut to Rule Them All
We are in a serious economic situation right now. Not many people are aware of how dire things really are. While President Obama and the Democrat-run House and Senate are trying to work out how much more to spend on this and that, the available funds to pay for it have come and gone. Right [...]
Words from the President on Iran’s Unrest
With Iran in the middle of widespread unrest, I think it is important to look at what our President has said on the issue. “All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with [...]
Stimulate Me – How Obama Could Win the Economic War
Now that we’re starting to get an idea of what President Obama’s economic knowledge is like, it’s starting to get a little worrisome. Taxpayer money is being thrown at hundreds of projects, like museums, sidewalks, libraries, and a trolley in Puerto Rico. Pushes for more “green energy” projects will do more to raise energy costs, [...]
How to Save the US Auto Industry
As the arguments have gone on about how to bail out the US auto industry, I’ve thought a lot about it myself.I believe that the US auto industry can be saved with some rather simple steps. Primarily, these include such common-sense things as un-crippling the automakers, reforming the automotive market, and trying some innovative experimental [...]
You Should Read – “Why Liberals Hate Us”
Great post over on Pink Elephant Pundit about Why Liberals Hate Conservatives. It’s a well-considered presentation of differences between left and right, and why the left is so often driven to hate-speech when speaking of conservatives. As a former liberal who decided hate wasn’t a good enough reason to choose a political stance, this post [...]
Advice for President-Elect Obama: International Policy
As the latest in my ongoing series of posts advising President-Elect Obama, I’d like to approach international issues. This may be a moot point, since Obama already has many international ties. Regardless, I’ll try to hit some high points. I won’t bother with advising on interactions with the palestinians, since Obama has ties to the [...]
Advice for President-Elect Obama – Make Promises; Lots of them
As self-appointed advisor to President-Elect Obama, I am duty-bound to offer advice as I have it, on how to succeed in the office of president. Since I’m not tied to any particular field of work, I don’t have to limit my advice to economic, international, or domestic issues. Instead, I offer my advice for success [...]
Warmest October on Record Turns Out to be Cold After All
Time and again, extreme claims about global warming (aka global climate change) turn out to be lacking in one major aspect. That aspect is truth. Today’s story from the London Telegraph tells how the warmest October on record could be explained, considering the unusual cold, snow, and ice activity around the world during the month. [...]
