Obama and the undocumented Democrats
By Roger Hedgecock Presidential candidate Barack Obama, seeking the Democratic Party nomination in 2012, stumped for the illegal alien vote in El Paso, Texas, urging Congress to pass an amnesty bill and hitting Republicans for wanting to build a moat at the border and fill it with alligators. Obama’s signature soaring rhetoric extolled the beneficial [...]
My Eyes Ain’t Lyin’
By Roger Hedgecock Bombing people to save them is not new to recent American history. Years ago, it was said that a village in Vietnam had to be destroyed to save it. Now Obama leads us in a noble kinetic military exercise to kill Libyans to save them; to bomb Ghaddafi Libyans to save Al [...]
Next president? A fighting governor
Next president? A fighting governor By Roger Hedgecock Senators just don’t make good presidents. They don’t run anything and their job is to bloviate endlessly on both sides of any discussion and pass laws that don’t apply to them. Witness Barack Obama. And does anyone left or right think John Kerry or Joe Biden or [...]
Don’t harsh my recovery
By Roger Hedgecock “Don’t Harsh My Recovery.” So said a tweet I got in response to an analysis I did on America’s continuing economic non-recovery on my radio show. The tweet went on to say, “I want to believe the economy is recovering Roger if I believe it will.” “Think and grow rich” might work [...]
California Meltdown
By Roger Hedgecock As Arnold Schwarzenegger slinks out of Sacramento proving once and for all that action heroes only exist in the movies, the Sacramento Bee provides a panoramic view of the famous (and now removed) cigar tent Arnold placed outside his office (to avoid no smoking rules in the Capitol building). http://www.sacbee.com/2010/12/21/3274216/gov-arnold-schwarzeneggers-cigar.html Yup, the [...]
California Dreamin’
By Roger Hedgecock In a blast from the past, California voters bucked the national voting trend and returned Democrat Jerry Brown to the governor’s office he occupied in the 1970s. All other statewide offices went Democrat. Voters also removed the two-thirds vote requirement to pass the state budget, handing the heavily Democrat state Legislature a [...]
California Circles The Drain
By Roger Hedgecock The government of the once “Golden State” is a lead pipe cinch to lurch into insolvency any month now. State government is an estimated $19 billion in the hole. Revenues are down and spending is up. The state continues to hire during a “hiring freeze.” To solve the crisis, the Democrat majority [...]
Poverty just ain’t what it used to be
By Roger Hedgecock In time for the world “Anti-Poverty Summit” at the United Nations, the Obama regime released data indicating growing “poverty” in the U.S. My local newspaper ran the headline “Nation’s Poverty Rate Rises to 14.3 Percent.” The article claimed 3.7 million more Americans slipped below the “federal poverty line” in 2009 and that [...]
Not FDR, Not Reagan — Obama is Herbert Hoover
By Roger Hedgecock When President Herbert Hoover persuaded Congress to raise federal taxes after the stock market crash of Oct. 29, 1929, he transformed an economic downturn into a Great Depression. Obama is condemned to Hoover’s fate by repeating Hoover’s mistake. A myriad of new taxes in Obama’s health care “reform” and the financial regulation [...]
