Forward or Downward?
The Obama campaign has announced its new slogan — “Forward.” Despite the fact that his change has nearly crushed hope, he arrogantly decided to double down and press forward, bitterly clinging to failed policies. Sadly, too many voters remain under the delusion that Obama is “winning the future.”
Definition of Irony
The food stamp program, part of the Department of Agriculture, is pleased to be distributing the greatest amount of food stamps ever.
Meanwhile, the Park Service, also part of the Department of Agriculture, asks us to “please do not feed the animals” because the animals may grow dependent and not learn to take care of themselves.

Rush on the media
“Why are we so afraid of the media? Let’s attack the media then for bringing up the ‘social issues’! If it’s the media’s fault, let’s all join an attack on them. They’re the ones trying to derail this Republican primary campaign — all for Obama.” -Rush
Court Delivers Election Maps for Texas
Now there are maps.
Federal judges in San Antonio unveiled maps for the state’s congressional delegation and for the state House this afternoon, and they did it in time to allow the state to hold its delayed political primaries on May 29. The court also signed off on Senate plans agreed to earlier this month.
The court has not ordered a May 29 election, but on Monday it asked the political parties to detail the election law waivers they would need in order to hold their primaries on that date. The judges put out the maps early enough to take comments from the various parties on them, but they didn’t immediately seek those comments, and aren’t required to do so.

Obama’s Green Energy Lie
- The Labor Department’s green jobs training program showed that only 2.5 percent of individuals originally enrolled were still employed in the jobs for which they were trained six months after the start of their job.
- One estimated that 45 percent of funds appropriated by the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for green energy had not been spent, because few “shovel ready” projects existed.
- Since the end of the recession in June 2009, the economy has gained only 841,000 nonfarm payroll jobs for $825 billion in stimulus spending (approximately $1,000,000 per job).
“We Can’t Wait” Any Longer for Washington to Get Out of the Way
President Obama’s new slogan – “We Can’t Wait” – is an odd choice. Right now, 15 different House-passed jobs bills are stuck in the Senate, awaiting action from Harry Reid and his fellow liberals. Small business owners are being bogged down by burdensome regulations from Washington that prevent job creation and hinder economic growth. We must remove onerous regulations that are redundant, harm small businesses, and impede private sector investment and job creation.
