Obama’s re-election has been profitable for us in the trading room. Unfortunately, the market is suffering just like the nation, from the election. But you get the government you deserve. The market is taking into account that he has no record of actually being able to accomplish anything except fooling most of the people part […]

George Lopez staying classy
Free speech is free. You get to judge it’s value. In the interest of fair play and equal opportunity, Lopex will turn his attention to the “authenticity” of Obama’s heritage, I guess, or whatever the point of his riff was. In the same interest of transparency, democratic pundits are calling for Barack’s birth certificate, and […]
Being young in America means you get to pay
Upholding Obamacare means young people now get to learn what its like to pay for everyone else’s healthcare and not just their Social Security now. Maybe this is why we don’t teach them math skills, so that they dont understand what we are doing to them
The irreplaceable tax cheat Tim Geithner
That there are 36 Obama aides who owe back taxes is great news for the country which had just learned at the State of the Union speech that Tim “Tax Cheat” Geithner wouldn’t be around for a second term as Treasury Secretary. We now have an expanded pool of candidates to take over from Geithner, […]
“Playing” at being Presidential vs actually “Presiding”
Is this just a low cost way to appear Presidential and decisive? or part of the narrative of socialist/fascist power-grab using the Alinsky model?

It is typical of the elite to lose faith in the messy processes of democracy and the normal political friction of legislation. Without the intrinsic faith in the people (and the wisdom of crowds) its too easy for them to look for shortcuts. For example, here is Peter Orszag, fresh from the Obama administration recommending […]
Obama’s truthy truths
The writer cant wait to make the point that even though Obama’s story about his mother and her insurance strugglers arent exactly true, the LARGER ISSUES are still pertinent Its truthy without being burdened down by the weight of actual truth. Much like his claim that 80% of the people are in favor of tax […]
Bad form in Britain, when it comes to respecting our own legacy
Obama is willing to use Reagan for his own purposes when appealing to the moderate Right, but when the Brits offer a tribute to Reagan on Independence Day (remarkable maturity by the Brits dont you think?!), our ambassador, who’s chief qualification is his effectiveness as a fund-raiser, can’t be found. His absence was both remarkable […]
the next knee-jerk reaction
now i suppose there is a good reason why Obama, who has been silent in public on his reasoning and authority to committ the US to another war in the Middle East, has now decided, in the face of pressure to address the nation. The most obvious reason, ie the latest tap on the knee, […]
All the smooth hep-cats take a groovy step forward; not so fast Obama
Image via Wikipedia Obama: the man with a tin ear; he thinks he is legendary; he is becoming an urban legend, a walking punchline. He is looking more like Alfred E Neumann everyday He was supposed to be above politics; we now see he is just not very good at doing it. Oh, he can […]
