The DNC is out with a new web video Friday morning that attacks GOP lawmakers for now saying that the $100 billion in Spending Cuts in the federal Budget that they promised to cut is likely out of reach, blaming it on the fiscal calendar among other things.

Defining corruption down
DEFINING Corruption DOWN.... In October, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) told Rush Limbaugh he considers President Obama "one of the most corrupt presidents in modern times." He didn't even try to defend such a claim, and looked pretty ridiculous making it. On Sunday, Issa tried again, insisting that the Obama Administration, not the president himself, is "one of the most corrupt" in years. When he tried to back this up with some vaguely-specific evidence, Issa's argument quickly crumbled -- the ...

The President's Movie
Most people seem to agree that the single greatest mystery of the Obama presidency is how a Candidate who stoked hope, raised expectations, and stirred tens of millions of Americans to embrace change became a president who banked the fires of hope, lowered expectations, and dampened the belief of tens of millions of Americans that anything in the country could be changed. Theories, of course, abound: that Barack Obama, like John F. Kennedy before him, ran as an idealist but had always intended ...

Obama Skinning Cats
My D.C. trip was a mixture of emotions for me. On the one hand it was fun to see all my fellow conservative actitivists (we always have a blast when we get together), and it was exciting to go to a reception for the new Congress. But on the other hand, I learned about dangerous and infuriating Legislation that was basically snuck in while all of us were Christmas Shopping, traveling, and on holiday. The amusing thing at the reception is that we didn't know who was a Congressmen and who wasn't. ...
