The current distaste for everything Obama is not what it looks like. Yes, the pundits do love to characterize the boom and bust in Obama popularity as rooted in racisism or blame George Bush for leaving Obama with such a dire inheritance, but the pundits are wrong.

HERE WE GO AGAIN! GREAT DEPRESSION II!
HERE WE GO AGAIN! GREAT DEPRESSION II! In reading The Creature From Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, an excellent work of non-fiction about the Federal Reserve, I came across something that made me stop and take a deep breath, read on my friends: FROM CRASH TO DEPRESSION (G.

What the . . . ?
It’s late on a Friday night. My family went out for a Wisconsin Fish Fry at the Cornerstone Pub. We came home and spent the evening watching Feed the Fish which my kids would have been bored with but for the fact that it was filmed in our own back yard and they knew some …

FULL STEAM AHEAD CAPTAIN OBONGA?
Captain Obonga, I mean President Obonga, has just completed his State of the Union Address. (He was rambling again and saying crazy things so I’m sticking with the Obonga nick name) I’m relieved. I have nothing to worry about now. Captain Obonga has got it under control. He’s going to fix the economy, government transparency, …

SOCIALISM DOES NOT WORK IN SCHOOL!
As the quality of our academic success deteriorates, our mostly liberal educators continue to employ new approaches in an attempt to reverse the decline. Here’s the problem.
