I saw this sign today about an hour and a half northeast of Houston, Texas.
Yes, it says “USA UNDER SEIGE BY FOREIGN LEADER — OBAMA”.
And yes, “siege” is spelled wrong.
See it in all its hideous glory after the jump.
Republicans have fallen in love with repeating the warning from Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) that ObamaCare could be a “train wreck.” This has given them confidence to resume to their favorite pastime: pretending to repeal ObamaCare.
It also gives them the ability to distract from the reality, the real-life, life-mangling, slow-motion disaster that occurs every day in America.
The real “train wreck” is that America has the most expensive health care system in the world yet more than 45 million are uninsured and 26,000 to 45,000 Americans die every year for lack of insurance.…
President Obama delivered remarks to the national Planned Parenthood conference today. He had been scheduled to deliver them earlier in the week but, instead, delayed his speech to spend more time with the victims of the explosion in West, Texas. When it was announced that his original speech was cancelled, the anti-Choice group Susan B. Anthony List declared victory (as did others).
They were, of course, quite wrong.
Details and a full transcript of his speech after the jump.
Detroit News editorial page editor Nolan Finley is outraged that President Obama has the audacity to invite musicians to the White House. Though he was silent when previous presidents did this, it was enough to prompt a stupiditorial column in the paper this week.
More on this utter stupidity after the jump.

Despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the lefty concern trolls who are convinced that President Obama is going to feed your grandma a steady diet of cat food once she retires, the Obama administration today unequivocally ruled out raising the eligibility age for receiving Medicare.
I realize that this won’t quell the yammering from the left about how this President, a man with absolutely no history whatsoever of doing things to harm our country’s most vulnerable populations, is going to sell seniors down the river to cut the deficit. But I thought it would be worth, you know, getting the actual facts out there.
Details after the jump.

Yesterday, Anne and I attended the 57th Presidential Inauguration Ceremony in Washington, D.C. along with about a million other people. Attendance was down from nearly 2 million in 2009 but still dwarfs the 400,000-person crowd at George W. Bush’s second inauguration. While the crowd may have been smaller, the enthusiasm and the pure joy in the voices and faces of the people who were there was not diminished.
Anne’s photos along with President Obama’s speech, the Inaugural poem, and some reflections of the day after the jump.
With President Obama busy spending much of his time trying to stop House Republicans from purposely destroying the economy in order to get the kind of cuts to Medicare they’ve spent years campaigning against, most of America has missed that we now have what some experts are calling the most progressive tax code since 1979.
The “fiscal cliff” deal raised taxes on the richest that come into effect just as new taxes to fund ObamaCare begin:
Here’s the good news: The Bush tax cuts, which we designed to give 15% of their benefit to the richest 2%, have now been extended for everyone but the richest, creating the most progressive tax code in generations.
President Obama used the leverage of his re-election to achieve two goals: ending the giveaways to the rich and asking those who have benefited most from distorted Republican policies to sacrifice first as we try to clean up their mess.
And the president did it by getting the right to agree to end tax breaks without spending cuts.…
