The Gulf Recovery Obama Does Not Want to See

Heritage "Not on the agenda? Any meetings with oil workers in other Gulf states who are now unemployed thanks to President Obama’s Gulf oil drilling ban.
"If the President really wanted to see the economic damage his policies are causing in the Gulf, he could first stop in Pascagoula, Miss., where idle oil rigs in the Signal International shipyard have formed an eerie floating ghost city that locals have dubbed “Rig Row.”"

Harry vs. Hispanics

American Thinker "Harry Reid must by now be acquiring an epicurean appreciation for the flavor of footwear, considering how often he manages to wedge his wingtips firmly in that mealy mouth. If Harry ever gets athletes foot he'll have to get it treated by a dentist. Once again ol' Hotfoot Harry has taken careful aim and dropkicked himself square in the kisser with this gem, where he opines that he can't see how any Hispanic could be a Republican."

One solution to federal overreach

American Thinker "Legislation entitled the "Enumerated Powers Act" has been introduced in this Congress, both in the House (H.R. 450) and Senate (S. 1319). The bill is a simple, one-page proposal, summed up by the following language:

Each Act of Congress shall contain a concise and definite statement of the constitutional authority relied upon for the enactment of each portion of that Act.

"....These are not times for the timid. If we care to pass along to our posterity a nation that values individual liberty and limited government, as the United States Constitution provides, then we must require more of those whom we elect. At this moment in time, the Enumerated Powers Act provides a simple test of the real motives and true determination of our Congressmen and Senators."

The "Enumerated Powers Act" (EPA) "And it is the tradition of Congress, for each member, upon the start of their terms of office, to take an oath, promising to protect and uphold the Constitution. Yet virtually every day that Congress is in session these same oath-takers become law-breakers -- passing laws and expending funds on items that are not Constitutionally permissible."

Her highness has some popularity problems

Ed Lasky  "Americans don't care much for royalty; remember our Revolution. We don't like when the President bows before the Saudi King or the Emperor of Japan, but treats democratically elected allies, such as the Prime Minister of Great Britain or the leader of Israel, as lepers. They don't like domestic royalty either and perceive the couple in the White House as increasingly people who see themselves as our King and Queen. "....
"Barack Obama's excessive use of the first person singular is a mite different than the royal we, but the narcissism that animates its use is the same."
