TIME Magazine Hurls Ultimate Insult at Obama

March 8, 2010

Mark Halperin at Time Magazine has soured on Obama.  In fact, in a piece this weekend, he hurled the ultimate insult at Obama – that he is similar to the dreaded George W. Bush.  The article compares not necessarily the policies (although there are many differences, Obama has continued many of Bush’s policies that he [...]

Will Obama Pivot?

March 2, 2010

Anything could happen in the next eight months until the mid-term elections, but if they were held today, the Democrats would be soundly defeated by the GOP.  This wouldn’t be due to any affection people have to the GOP, but rather the public rejection of the creeping socialism advocated by this administration.  Yet Obama simply [...]

Obama Has No Coattails

March 1, 2010

Longtime readers of Axis of Right will know that we are very picky when it comes to polling firms that we trust.  We base our analysis on polls not on just the fact that it is a new poll or a poll in our favor (we will usually avoid getting too excited about a CNN [...]

Why the Filibuster is Important

February 25, 2010

There has been a lot of talk lately on ending the filibuster.  Democrats have proposed ending the 60-vote cloture threshold as well as the idea of pushing sweeping controversial legislation through via reconciliation.  The filibuster is an important institution in our nation and needs to be preserved.  But don’t take my word for it, take [...]

Charlie Cook Says Democrats are Cooked

February 24, 2010

Charlie Cook, who runs the Cook Political Report, is a widely-respected political commentator.  He analyzes the political races in detail, and provides a handicapping on all of them.  While I don’t always agree with his assessments, I appreciate his analysis.  In a recent interview, Cook essentially said that the Democrats are cooked, and he does [...]

Is Obama a Socialist?

February 23, 2010

He’s orchestrated the wholesale takeover of the auto industry, he is attempting to confiscate 1/6 of the U.S. economy, he wants to nationalize the student loan industry, he wants tighter control over the banking industry and mortgage industry, and he wants to control the salaries of executives.  Bill O’Reilly doesn’t think he’s a socialist, but [...]

J.D. Hayworth – Birther?

February 18, 2010

A lot of Conservatives were excited to see J. D. Hayworth enter the primaries against Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) due to McCain’s constant thumbing his nose at Conservatives for the past eight years.  True, McCain has been seemingly more conservative since his electoral defeat to the chosen one, but one obviously has to question his [...]

Deficit for FY-2010 Clocks in at $430.69 Billion

February 17, 2010

The Federal Deficit has clocked in at $430.69 billion through the first four months of FY-2010 (the federal fiscal year starts in October).  If the deficit continues on this pace, it will clock in at $1.29 trillion, although it is expected to clock in even higher at $1.59 trillion (I guess the government is going [...]

The Expiration of Obama’s Tax Pledge

February 13, 2010

As we know, Obama’s promises all come with an expiration date.  It appears that the most famous of his promises, the no new taxes pledge for those making less than $250k is nearing that expiration date, as he now mentions that he is agnostic about not raising taxes.  You be the judge – when will [...]

Obama Says that Americans are Tired of Him

February 13, 2010

Well, no, not really.  In actuality, he says that people are tired of politicians who “talk the talk but won’t walk the walk of fiscal responsibility”:

This is newspeak at its finest.  I am starting to question the sanity of this man.  Is he really that delusional to think that he can say those words when [...]

Infighting in the Democrat Party

February 12, 2010

It appears that all is not well between Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), and President Barack Obama (Socialist).  First, Harry Reid dumped the $85 billion “bi-partisan” stimulus-II bill that Obama had expressed support for, replacing it with a much smaller $15 billion bill, and has angered the two [...]

Previously “Temporary” Measures Made Part of Obama’s Baseline Budget

February 11, 2010

It appears that Obama is using a bit of budgetary sleight-of-hand to help contribute to the record deficit found in his 2011 budget proposal by taking some of the “temporary” measures of the Porkulus bill and making them part of the budget baseline (as predicted here).  Seems that Ronald Reagan was right when he said [...]

The Bi-Partisanship Healthcare Summit

February 11, 2010

The question is being hotly debated across the blogosphere and the D.C. punditry – should the Republicans go to Obama’s bi-partisan health care summit or not?  Ryan, Mike and I discussed the issue in-depth in our latest podcast, but a new story was released today which illustrates the folly of providing the President with a [...]

Senate Blocks Nomination of SEIU Thug Craig Becker

February 9, 2010

What a difference having a Republican in Ted Kennedy’s seat makes.  Earlier today the Senate blocked Barack Obama’s nomination of Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board.  Despite mainstream media headlines to the contrary, Republicans were not alone on this one.  The good news of defeating an SEIU thug cannot be overstated, but I’m [...]

President’s Questions?

February 3, 2010

After Obama’s Q&A with the Republican Congressional caucus last Friday, people as diverse as Markos Moulitsas and Ed Morrissey are calling for a regular Q&A type session, similar to the British Parliament’s Prime Minister’s Questions.  I’m not sure how I feel about that.  On the one hand, it would give the opportunity for the President [...]

Don’t Underestimate Obama

February 2, 2010

Watching the performance of Obama and the Democrats this past year, it’s easy to get complacent and assume that 2010 and 2012 are wrapped up.  What we as conservatives fail to see is that Obama does still appeal to a segment of the population, even if they don’t like his policies.  Case in point:  on [...]

Something Brewing in Iran

February 1, 2010

A couple of stories that have surfaced today make me wonder if something is brewing in Iran.  First, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced yesterday that Iran would “deliver a harsh blow to the ‘global arrogance’ on this year’s anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.” The anniversary, which takes place on February 11, marks the beginning of [...]

Jon Stewart Destroys Chris Matthews

January 29, 2010

Jon Stweart is growing on me.  Although he’s a dedicated liberal, he knows good humor when he sees it, and has taken plenty of opportunity to go after Obama and the state-run media (such as Olbermann) in recent weeks.  Yesterday, he went after Chris Matthews, for his statement that Obama’s State of the Union made [...]

New Debt Limit – $14.3 Trillion

January 28, 2010

The Debt Limit has been raised by Congress to $14.3 trillion dollars.  The Senate voted to raise it $1.9 Trillion on a strictly partisan basis, 60-40 (no wonder they delayed the swearing in of Scott Brown).  The amount that they are raising it is unprecedented in our nation’s history.  Some perspective:

In 2001 when Bush took [...]

Climate Gate Scientists Broke the Law

January 28, 2010

Climate Gate scientists responsible for forging the data involved in the climate change hoax also broke the law, according to Britain’s Information Commissioner’s Office.  By refusing to hand over source data when requested, the commissioner found that the climate scientists at the University of East Anglia violated Britain’s Freedom of Information Act.  These revelations came [...]

Bob McDonnell – The Real Story of the State of the Union

January 28, 2010

Quick recap of the State of the Union -a long, boring speech in which Obama dug in his heels and attacked Bush.  I don’t think he came across well, and came off as a schoolteacher scolding his students.  Not the image people want in a President.  I don’t see this speech as a plus for [...]

It’s Now OK to Make Fun of Obama

January 27, 2010

John Stewart on the Daily Show ripped into Obama recently, picking up on many things that we Conservatives saw early on.  In this clip, Stewart makes fun of Obama’s aloofness, his overuse of the teleprompter, and his inability to relate to average people.  Unlike some Saturday Night Live Obama parodies of recent note, these are [...]

Spendaholic President to Propose “Spending Freeze”

January 26, 2010

President Obama is planning to announce a three year freeze in discretionary spending at the upcoming State of the Union.  The President’s supporters and the mainstream media (Department of Redundancy Department I know) will undoubtedly fawn over the proposal as a return to fiscal responsibility.  They won’t tell the entire story though.  Like so many [...]

Democrat Leadership to Push ObamaCare Reconcilliation Bill

January 26, 2010

So the Democrat leaders are insistent on trying to drive their party off a cliff by using budget reconciliation as a tactic to try to ram ObamaCare through.  Here’s the situation:  the ObamaCare bill that passed the Senate does not have enough support in the House without significant changes.  Everything from the public option, to [...]

Obama’s State of Denial

January 25, 2010

Obama is in a state of denial.  He still thinks he is the messiah, and that all bow down and worship at his feet.  Today, Rep. Marion Berry (D-AR) announced his retirement, citing fears of a 1994-redo in the making.  When pressed further, he mentioned that Obama was in complete denial, thinking that he would [...]

So Brown Getting Elected Happened Because of Bush?

January 20, 2010

At least that’s Obama’s take on the matter:
Here’s my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts, but the mood around the country: the same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office,” the president said in an exclusive interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos. “People are angry and they are frustrated. [...]

Krugman Thinks Obama Should Blame Bush More

January 20, 2010

Paul Krugman is living in a bubble.  You see, he writes that one of Obama’s biggest mistakes has been to not blame Bush for the economic woes this country now faces, “just like Reagan did” (sic).
Finally, about that narrative: It’s instructive to compare Mr. Obama’s rhetorical stance on the economy with that of Ronald Reagan. [...]

Krauthammer on the Obama Fall

January 16, 2010

Worth a read is a piece in today’s Washington Post by Charles Krauthammer, chronicling Obama’s fall from grace among the American electorate.  Krauthammer points out what many of us have been saying since the election; that the American people did not elect Obama for  his liberalism, but rather for hope and change from the previous [...]
