Liar, Liar
Cal Thomas

John Hawkins

After Wilson’s outburst, liberals, in and out of the mainstream media, rushed to tell us that it was Wilson, not Obama who was wrong. Why, there was simply no way that illegals would be covered!

They Can’t Handle the Truth
Sandy Rios

While Congressman Joe Wilson from South Carolina gets harangued by his colleagues (Republican and Democrat alike) for yelling “That’s a lie!” During President Obama’s 38th healthcare speech, much of America is cheering him on—or are at least sympathetic to the legislator and the frustration that led to his outburst.

La La La, I Can’t Hear You
Lorie Byrd

“La la la. I can’t hear you.” That’s what la-la liberals spent the entire weekend saying when confronted with the reality of the September 12 march on Washington.

Who Lied?
Phyllis Schlafly

The sanctimonious shock at Rep. Joe Wilson’s, R-S.C., calling out, “You lie,” when Barack Obama said the health care bill will not insure illegal aliens reminds me of the Casablanca police chief saying he was “shocked, shocked” to learn that gambling was taking place in the cafe.

Memo to Dems: Spare Us the Phony Wilson Outrage

Daily Reading… Friday, Aug 28 2009 

Wenr to an Angels game  last night, so I didn’t get a chance to post. Here’s a lot of Obama articles for your perusal. These all come from American Thinker. Angels lost by the way. They are the best hitting team in baseball and last night they only had four hits. There was some good defensive plays, but dull otherwise.

Worse and Worser by Randall Hoven

The Congressional Budget Office came out with an update to its predictions of the federal budget this week.  For some reason, the CBO did not title its report “Hell In A Hand Basket.”

Barack Obama doesn’t care what you think by Drew Brown

Don’t believe me? Just pay attention to the next two weeks. The organization Barack Obama developed to get elected and still leads, Organizing for America, is attempting to hold pro-healthcare rallies throughout the country right before Congress reconvenes. Said another way, the president who swore to represent you is sending his promoters to tell you to support his agenda. Americans, Obama neither listens to you nor cares what you think.

In Obama We Trust? by Robin of Berkeley

I grew up in a home where God was MIA.  I don’t remember religion being mentioned except occasional references to some sort of God and a heaven. While my family was proud of their ethnicity, they didn’t practice the religion.  Aside from the requisite Bar Mitvahs, they never set foot in a synagogue.

The Obama Clergy Call by Jan LaRue

ObamaCare needs a crash cart. It’s so ominous that President Barack Obama is partnering with God and the God-squad to keep the American people from pulling the plug.

Repeal Obama’s Raw Deal. Now. by William Tate

Back in 2003, when a Barack Obama presidency was little more than a gleam in George Soros’s eye, Jim Powell published a book which was disturbingly prescient. Titled FDR’s Folly: How Roosevelt and His New Deal Prolonged the Great Depression, it outlined how Franklin Roosevelt’s big spending policies hindered, rather than helped, the United States in recovering from the Great Depression.

Pesky voters no obstacle to Obama health plans by Teri O’Brien

President Obama has a problem, one familiar to smarmy salesmen since the beginning of time. His product stinks, and consumers know it.  The packaging looked nice at first. The copy was well-written and well-delivered, but the dogs won’t eat the food. What to do?
