Bush for the nation’s current economic woes,which is akin to blaming the bank’s tellers for a bank robbery,or for the dishonesty of their bosses,the bank’s executives who were looting the [...] Ben Johnson,The White House Watch Impeachment usually represents a punitive act following the commission of a crime,but some are looking to it as a last means of self-defense.

While we hope his presidential reign lasts no longer than January 2013,Americans may have to live with the consequences of Obamanomics [...] Ben Johnson,The White House Watch President Obama’s luck got so bad during the debate over raising the debt ceiling that even his chief of staff said he could be impeached. On July 27,the Cato Institute‘s director of health policy studies Michael F. Cannon heard Bill Daley admit,in not so many words,[...] Ben Johnson,The White House Watch Three years ago,many well-meaning Americans suspended concerns about Barack Obama’s experience,judgment,and associations in order to vote for an “historic”president.

Friday night,for the first time in history,Standard &Poor’s downgraded the U.S. [...] Floyd and Mary Beth Brown,FloydReports.com Washington is obsessed by picking winners and losers. But the Establishment media has the story all wrong again. The Republicans,they say,won this skirmish over debt. But actually Republicans displayed a total lack of commitment to their principles. The only winner in the “Budget Control Act of [...] Herbert W. Titus and William J. Olson,FloydReports.com In a Constitutional Republic of the sort that we thought we had,the process by which laws are made is at least as important as the laws that are enacted.

Tom McClintock,FloydReports.com The “Budget Control Act of 2011” increases the debt limit by between $2.1 and $2.4 trillion,the biggest explosion of debt in American history.

Mitt Romney Rejects [...] Even non-fans of rap (like me) will enjoy this musical look at the hottest debate in Washington. It’s good to have a laugh on the road to serfdom.
