Even the economic policies of Ronald Reagan fail when compared to the economic policies of Barack Obama in a new FOX poll. Even more interesting in that same poll is how FOX’s attempt to steer the answers even failed.
It’s time to tear apart some of these Republican myths, and in just one paragraph of Bobby Jindal’s speech we saw many: While some of the projects in the bill make sense, their legislation is larded with wasteful spending. It includes $300 million to buy new cars for the government, $8 billion for high-speed rail […]
That’s what Politico is trying to push: When CNBC’s Rick Santelli argued last week that President Barack Obama’s mortgage bailout plan would force hardworking Americans to pay for their neighbors’ mistakes, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs dismissed him as a know-nothing derivatives trader out of touch with Main Street.

And we have a new definition of dumb ass – Oscar Goodman: Sin City’s mayor wants President Barack Obama to apologize for saying companies shouldn’t visit Las Vegas on the taxpayer’s dime.

Nate Silver has highlighted it and shown how there is a major divide between Senate Republicans and House Republicans: It’s not just the goose egg that the House Republicans laid on the Democratic stimulus package yesterday: Boehner’s Boys […]
It could have been: Gov. Rod Blagojevich, taking his defense to television rather than his impeachment trial, lashed out at his accusers Monday and revealed he had considered naming Oprah Winfrey to the U.S. Senate. The embattled governor told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that the idea of nominating the talk show host came to him […]
