Getting a feel for the electorate in recent months is difficult, to say the least.
While it might reassure some who read the latest by Dick Morris, others may find it wishful thinking:
At last, there is convincing evidence that Obama’s poll numbers may be descending to earth. While his approval remains high — and his personal favorability is even higher — the underlying numbers suggest that a decline may be in the offing. Even as he stands on his pedestal, the numbers under his feet are crumbling.
While it appears we will extend more and more rights to terrorists, General Petraeus leaves no doubt on one very vital issue:
General Petraeus responded (firmly) that this is not a concern, “this is the FBI doing what the FBI does”. But our forces DO NOT READ MIRANDA RIGHTS to detainees .
Why is it that it seems that those who would do this country great harm [given the opportunity] are being afforded more and more guarantees under our Constitution while Americans are experiencing more and more of their rights being usurped by our own government?
The devil is in the details:
June 12 (Bloomberg) — Health-care overhaul legislation being drafted by House Democrats will include $600 billion in tax increases and $400 billion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel said.
At this rate that talk of taxing only the rich will begin to encompass us all.
After all, we must all be rich simply due to the fact that we have a government which is so willing to take such good care of us.
Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguin players and fans.
Hockey was done proud by the terrific seven game series the Pens and Red Wings completed Friday evening.
Enjoy the cup Pittsburgh, you earned it!
David Letterman receives a well deserved talkin’ to by none other than Johnny Carson.
