President Poutypants is really revealing his petulant side. The government has shut down several times before now, but this president has been so spiteful as to close down outdoor monuments and even privately-funded sites that have never been shut down before. Now, his foot-stomping has sunk to a whole new low.

Michigan state is hurting and its failings can be traced to one party rule at the hands of Democrats and the unions (which are likely synonymous).  Detroit is now bankrupt, corrupt, and the most dangerous city in America, and residents continue to flee. As Detroit was the engine (pun intended) of Michigan’s economy, it has affected the entire state.

On September 27, NBC News revealed what all 26 viewers of MSNBC already knew: the entire corporate media behemoth is in full on water carrying mode for the Obama Administration. A week-long series of special reports on Obamacare began on the nightly news on Monday.

[UPDATE: 9/24, 2:30 p.m. ET. In a surprise move, Senator Cruz has just begun a filibuster of the motion to proceed. Apparently, he was concerned that the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) was working with the Democratic leader, Harry Reid (R-Nevada) to outmaneuver him later in the process. So he took his chance to seize control of the floor a couple of days earlier than expected. FreedomWorks strongly supports Sen. Cruz's efforts. Help spread the word and pressure the Senate to defund ObamaCare using the hashtags, #KeepCruzing, #MakeDCListen, and #DefundObamaCare.]

I remember the Old Age — the time Before Obama. We had cruel rulers who were so focused on wars and greed that they never shared a vital secret with their subjects. These latter-day Neros and Caligulae never once told the dessicated masses about a simple, life-giving treasure. The treasure of Water.It was a dark time. A thirsty time.

Democracy and Power 101: Government is PowerThe essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse. —James Madison, Speech in the Virginia State Convention of 1829-1830

This is an open letter to William D. Ruckelshaus, Lee M. Thomas, William K. Reilly and Christine Todd Whitman. You, the former directors of the EPA who were appointed by Republican presidents, recently wrote an op-ed in the New York Times titled, A Republican Case for Climate Action.

Whenever he talks about the economy, Obama sounds like he's trying to explain to a professor why his term paper is late.

Whenever President Obama is in a bind, he turns to his celebrity supporters. They prop him up when he’s wavering and help remind everyone how “cool” he is and that he's part of their team. With Obamacare implementation due to begin this fall, our government is bringing in the National Football League and its stars to bolster enrollment in the unpopular program. 

President Obama has not been having a very good month. Between the Benghazi hearings, the IRS scandal, the DOJ getting caught snooping into media phone records, and the NLRB smackdown, he really needs his friends. Usually, when Obama needs friends, he would turn to the unions. Too bad they’re not very happy with him lately, either.
