We were told that the five terrorists recently released from Guantanamo in exchange for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl would be held under house arrest in Qatar for a year. And, that Qatar’s Emir, Sheikh Tamin bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani assured the U.S. that he would maintain surveillance over their activities.… read more
Will GOP learn from Brat win?
First, let’s get it straight. It wasn’t Tea Party financial support that enabled Dave Brat to beat GOP Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the Virginia primary last night as the media has been saying.
Putting it simply, Brat did campaign on principles Tea Partiers and true Republicans stand for – primarily adherence to the Constitution – not moves to be Democrat-lite, to appear more moderate.… read more
Obama, staff simply inept
Richard Cohen (Washingtonpost.com)
”The Rose Garden production sticks in my craw – Obama leaving with his arms around Bergdahl’s mother and father. So touching. So warm. So utterly repellent!” – Richard Cohen, Washington Post columnist
For the past five years I have been writing about a president – Barack Obama, of course – who is in over his head on domestic issues and the economy; national security, foreign policy and on defense.
We have seen his incompetence, lack of judgment, open flouting of the rule of law and the constitution and a disregard for the culture of corruption evidenced within his administration.
The latest Gallop Poll reveals that 74 per cent of Americans express dissatisfaction with the way things are going in the United States at this time, and Real Clear Politics, with its average of all major polls, reflects a 52.5 per cent disapproval of President Obama’s job performance.
Over the past few weeks we have again witnessed his ineptness and that of those around him. With the media showing clips of him promising process improvements for vets dating back to 2008, the president couldn’t pass this off as another phony scandal. Continue reading
General Dempsey’s view, “irrelevant”
I seldom agree with Sen. John McCain, but when I heard him say during an interview on Greta Van Susteren’s On the Record show that Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey had “become irrelevant,” I had to double-check what I heard.
Being interviewed regarding the ill-advised Obama deal that freed five top Taliban leaders for U.S… read more
Not so fast, Hillary
“I will not be a part of a political slugfest on the backs of dead Americans. It’s just plain wrong, and it’s unworthy of our great country. Those who insist on politicizing the tragedy will have to do so without me.” – Hillary Clinton, from her forthcoming book, “Hard Choices.”
It’s too late. … read more

Notice of a Short Hiatus
Little trust in President Obama
As if we really needed a poll to tell us, the latest Fox News Poll shows that voters have little trust in the president, as 61 percent of respondents said Obama lies about significant issues “most of the time” or “some of the time.” And that includes 38 percent of Democrats and 63 percent of Independents.… read more
No, Mr. President, the debate is not over
“The point is, the repeal debate is and should be over. The Affordable Care Act is working.” – President Obama, April 17, 2014 press conference.
Nice try, Mr. President, but I don’t buy it and neither do the majority of Americans. Just because you say it’s so doesn’t make it so. … read more
Poll reveals belief conservatives targeted by IRS
KRAMER NOTE: On March 23, 2014 I posted the last of a four-part series on the IRS scandal. While the Obama administration wants this issue to fade away, I intend to continue to keep it alive as we near the mid-term elections.
An April Fox News Poll reveals that voters, by a 49-41 percent margin, believe the Obama administration “intentionally had the IRS target conservative political groups.”… read more
