Ethel C. Fenig "Busy campaigning for the presidency in 2007 and 2008 and involved with other personal matters not related to his senatorial duties, Obama didn't even bother voting when the issue came up in each of these years. Indeed, he didn't vote on many other issues during his overlapping later senatorial career/presidential campaign time."
Do Americans really want to 'tax the rich' to curb the deficit? "The poll results of a bunch of liberals hardly represent "most Americans." And given the poll choices what should we expect?
"The 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll is the same source that claims most Americans (63%) have no problem with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed being tried in NYC. "Most Americans" chose the loaded answer, "New York is a target anyway."" Monte Kuligowski
More Confirmation of Obama's Socialism "... the war for the nation's heart and soul is now commencing in earnest. Beginning tomorrow, Speaker-presumptive John Boehner and the House Republican majority will be the frontlines in the fight to stop, then rollback, Mr. Obama's and the left's attempt to radically transform an unwilling nation. The coming fight will take enormous courage and resolve; there can be no wavering in Republicans' commitment to principles. Conservatives need to furnish the backbone."

Gas Prices Back Above $3, Networks Don't Question Obama Policies

| http://www.claybennett.com/ |
"A few months later, on Aug. 21, 2006, Bush was asked at a press conference: "What do you say to people who are losing patience with gas prices at $3 a gallon? And how much of a political price do you think you're paying for that, right now?"....
"How does Obama plan to raise prices? With further EPA regulations of power plants and oil refineries, and more rules for natural resources on government properties and the 'de facto moratorium' on oil drilling.
"Not one of the December 2010 network stories mentioning gas prices questioned the role of the Obama White House."

The outrage of the Enterprise XO
Blackfive "But I sure as hell respect the stones, ability and discipline it takes to ride a rocket into the sky and then land it on a boat in the ocean. So unfortunately a good officer loses his chance to command the Enterprise over something this lame, but worse yet we lose a bit of our warrior spirit."
Captain Owen Honors "As for the military high command, which reacted with knee-jerk speed by destroying Capt. Owen’s career, I don’t think it did itself any favors. When will traditional forces realize that the liberals in this country can never be appeased? A less extreme response would have been proportionate to the low level of the offense, and would not have fed the perpetual outrage machine on the Left. As it is, conservatives, with their abject overreacting keep conceding liberal points, even when the liberals really have no point at all."
Max Boot: Judging Captain Honors "Honors seems to have not gotten the message, which calls his judgment into question. On the other hand, the military’s judgment is open to question, too, when it is far easier to relieve an officer of his command for a sexual imbroglio of even the mildest sort than it is for losing a battle or even a war."

(Updated) Gas prices on rise: Drilling Is Stalled Even After Ban Is Lifted
Wall Street Journal "More than two months after the Obama administration lifted its ban on drilling in the deep-water Gulf of Mexico, oil companies are still waiting for approval to drill the first new oil well there. Experts now expect the wait to continue until the second half of 2011, and perhaps into 2012."
The Causes and Effects of High Gas Prices "But a huge part of the supply problem is due to environmental regulations (and environmentalists' opposition to new refineries), and political opposition to oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico and in parts of Alaska.
"Gasoline supplies are impeded by regulations that require specialized blends of gasoline for certain parts of the country. Gasoline used to be essentially the same nationwide, but there are many different "flavors" of gas sold now, in some cases for specific counties. Generally this seems to cause the price of gas to be higher in and around big cities."Another factor that drives up the cost is the political opposition to offshore drilling."

John Bolton considering bid for US president in 2012
Texas Speaker’s Race Heats Up: John Bolton Endorses Challenger "Who ends up wielding the gavel this year is key for many reasons, not least among them the one that has already come up twice in this post: The redrawing of Texas’ electoral map. The state will get four new seats in the US House or Representatives, and lines down to the precinct level will also be redrawn. The House speaker plays a key role in that process, and thus the speaker in this year’s session will be unusually powerful and influential well beyond the 140 day legislative session."
