I was watching NatGeo on tv Tuesday night and there was a show about the Great Wall of China. Turns out, the Ming Dynasty completely collapsed under crushing debt after going broke building the wall. It was a great, shovel-ready jobs program that created tons of jobs but failed to stimulate their economy.

Barack Obama, still showing the uncanny political skills that got him elected, has come out opposed to the “Fairness Doctrine”. He scores big points with me for protecting free speech and having some semblance of common sense. As I have said all along, Obama will get fair treatment and praise from [...]

Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins
with special mention for John McCain’s best friend, Independent disappointment Joe Lieberman.
They voted for the biggest non-stimulating, wasteful spending plan in the history of the world.
If they are going to sell us out, I would rather have a Democrat in their place. I will donate money to defeat them [...]

Zero House Republicans voted for Obama’s stimulus package which is loaded with wasteful spending that will do nothing to stimulate the economy. Republicans were willing to consider a bipartisan compromise but could not vote for such a bill that does not include more tax cuts and less wasteful spending.

Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma:

Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are
November 6, 2008 – 3:09 pm
When Obama gave his acceptance speech,
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
I promise you, we as a people will get there.
There [...]

How embarrassing.
Obama’s Aunt Zeituni has been living illegally in a poor neighborhood in Boston. Not only that, she is living in tax-payer funded Boston public housing. She was denied asylum four years ago and defied a deportation order. I am sensitive to the plight of immigrants and wanting to make a better life for themselves. [...]

This is classic. So many backhanded compliments right in front of his face. This reminds me of when Arnold Schwarzengger told Lou Ferrigno that he would never lose if he had Lou’s physique. On the surface it is a compliment, but when you think about it, he was basically telling Lou [...]
