Quote of The Day

"The president still has time to turn... things around, but we Americans are not a patient people. And there is anger in the air. Yes, there's been change. We now have record spending and a new tone of humility overseas, but those things might not be good things. Also, whenever you build up someone's hopes and don't come through, you become suspect. And the bigger the hope, the harder the fall. President Obama's charisma energized many Americans. And now they are disappointed--some of them--with reality."

Quote of The Day

"What is driving the Tea Party is fear that President Obama is changing traditional America--that the USA is becoming France, if you want to oversimplify it. ...Going forward, the Tea Party movement will face some challenges. Will it become a legitimate third party? Or will it stay as an anti-Obama protest group? Or will it expand its passion into other areas? There is no Tea Party leader. Sarah Palin comes closest, but she doesn't want the designation. So it will be interesting to see just how the Tea Party evolves..."

Obama annoyed by America's superpower status?

During Tuesday's nuclear summit, Obama said that the United States is a superpower "whether we like it or not," and that causes us to get drawn into international conflicts.

Leftists burn flag at rally - where's the media outrage?

Last month several thousand anti-war protesters converged on Washington DC. It was a kooky display with plenty of far left loons and even an American flag burning. But the media completely ignored the anti-American display.

Quote of The Day

"What the far left has not done is call the president a war criminal [for approving drone attacks], which it certainly did in the case of President Bush. No--even though President Obama, to his credit, is the power behind the missile attacks, the far left pulls its punches when the president's name comes up. But all Americans should know that there are... people who believe the USA is the evil force, and the terrorists are just responding to that. There's no better example of far-left nuttiness than this campaign against the drone attacks."

Toyota faces $16M fine for auto defects

San Jose Mercury News: "Federal safety regulators said Monday that they intend to fine Toyota Motor $16.4 million - the largest ever penalty against an automaker - for failing to disclose problems with sticky accelerator pedals quickly enough. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Toyota knew in September that it had a problem with accelerator pedals that required fixing, but failed to recall 2.3 million vehicles until January - four months later. In taking the step, federal authorities are sending the strongest signal yet that they believe the automaker deliberately concealed safety information from them".

Quote of The Day

"Ever since the Tea Party protest began last summer, the left-wing media in America has been attacking the movement. At first, Tea Party folks were labeled stupid--too dumb to understand complicated issues. ...Finally, the media turned to ideology, saying that many Tea Party people are racist and far-right cranks... it's not the job of the media to engineer political thinking in this country. And that's what's happening in some quarters... That is corruption. And there is no doubt it is in play."
