President Obama is urging Republicans to pass a two-month extension compromise of his payroll tax cut.

Reality Check

November 27, 2011

In reference to cutting government spending, President Obama likes to say we should use a "scalpel" instead of a "machete". Obama couldn't be more wrong. We should be using a howitzer instead of a machete on government spending. Using a scalpel just ain't gonna git her done, because we're on an unsustainable fiscal path straight [...]

Coming Back From Iraq

October 24, 2011

When President Obama announced that all US troops will be coming home from Iraq by the end of the year, he said it was a campaign promise fulfilled. He didn't bother to remind us it was George W.

Earlier this year, the Democrat-led Senate rejected the House budget proposal. In August, the Senate rejected the House's Cut, Cap, And Balance plan to raise the debt limit and balance the budget.

A Debt Limit Deal, I Hope

August 1, 2011

If the debt limit deal struck between President Obama and Congress passes, it will be the first financial step forward our government has taken in over a decade. No, strike that. The deal is actually not a step forward. In reality, it's just the absence of another step backward. We've taken so many backward steps [...]

July 26, 2011

One thing I've learned about President Obama – when he rails against "politics as usual", as he did in his redundant primetime speech to the country last night, you can rest assured that he will engage in politics as usual, relentlessly.

July 19, 2011

That radical right-wing lunatic fringe known as the Tea Party has led the way to the introduction of House legislation known as H.R. 2560, aka Cut, Cap, And Balance. Wait until you get a load of what these Republican wingnuts are proposing: H.R. 2560, The Cut, Cap, and Balance Act, is based on the framework [...]
