No Drive By Media here...nope...."Nothing to look at here folks...move along!" Nope...the press isn't in the satchel for Obama....nooooooooooooooooooooo.......
Translation: After receiving billions in federal subsidies ($100 billion from the stimulus program alone), “green” jobs account for only 2.4 percent of the nation’s employment.
Considering the fact that taxpayer dollars are being thrown at “green” energy projects under the guise of “stimulating the economy” and “creating jobs,” the “2.4 percent” figure is probably not the greatest. At least, that’s what CNNMoney seemed to indicate in its report.
That is, until the story changed.

White House was all-hands-on-deck as Solyndra collapse neared......
Several key White House offices were involved with the Obama administration’s messaging plans and other preparations as the collapse of the taxpayer-backed solar company Solyndra was imminent, newly released documents show.
The latest White House documents delivered to House Republicans on Friday again highlight the extent to which senior administration officials braced for the fallout as Solyndra – a company President Obama had personally visited – was about to go under.

Gun Boom Continues Despite Florida Shooting........
Despite calls for stricter guns laws in response to the shooting of Trayvon Martin, firearm stocks are soaring as gun companies struggle to keep up with high demand.
Shares of Sturm Ruger & Co. (RGR) were up as high as 14 percent Thursday afternoon after CEO Michael Fifer announced the company was temporarily suspending its acceptance of new orders in an effort to meet a dramatic surge in demand for its products.

Facing heat over gas price rise, Obama vows to speed pipeline's southern leg.......
OK's a pipeline to nowhere.....
Republicans dismissed Obama's move as a publicity stunt that made little difference to the timeline of the southern project or the problem of U.S. energy security. "He's taking credit for going forward on the only portion of the pipeline that he doesn't need to approve," said Senator John Hoeven of North Dakota at a press conference. "This is literally straddling both sides of the issue."

'The Road We've Traveled' With Obama........
Where to begin? Perhaps with the last statement: Mr. Obama has spent three years wallowing in blame. His culprits have ranged from his predecessor, to tsunamis and earthquakes, to ATMs, to Fox News, to yours truly. If you Google "Obama, Blame, Bush" and "Obama, Inherited," you'll get tens of millions of hits.
Bill O'Reilly says Media Matters capaign to silnce Rush "very facist".....ya think?
They have to SILENCE our side because they are incapable of framing an argument. Whatever happened to the "Arena of Ideas"? ...Oh....that's right...they haven't GOT ANY!
On his Thursday “Talking Points” segment on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” host Bill O’Reilly took aim at the latest Media Matters for America initiative to have conservative talker Rush Limbaugh taken off the air. Nearly a month ago, Limbaugh made some remarks about law student and contraception activist Sandra Fluke.
According to O’Reilly, pressure tactics aimed at Limbaugh are part of the left-wing organization’s effort to censor opposing points of view.

Warren Buffett's Empty Words....
Obama Bypasses Congress, Gives $1.5 Billion to Muslim Brotherhood....
This is why the argument that we should bag the Presidency in 2012 and go for the House and Senate doesn't fly. Obama is going to render them useless...he is already doing it with a willing Senate and Media!
During a trip through Colorado in December of last year, President Obama spoke of his intention to implement his economic policies with or without the approval of Congress. Said Obama, “And where Congress is not willing to act, we’re going to go ahead and do it ourselves.” It now appears that such a mindset applies not only to economic matters but to the distribution of foreign aid as well--in particular, foreign military aid for the Muslim Brotherhood, who now hold the reigns in Egypt.

Why the Ayers family helped Obama.....
As Jerome Corsi reported Tuesday in WND, there is excellent reason to believe that Bill Ayers’ parents, Tom and Mary Ayers, helped put Barack Obama through Harvard Law School.
This assertion has generated substantial media interest not only because of the credibility of the story’s source, retired mailman Allen Hulton, but also because the story fits all the known facts and resolves at least one major mystery.

Sheriff Joe: ‘Tons’ more shocking Obama info.....
“I’m not going after the president to keep him off a ballot or anything else, but that could happen,” Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio said. “I’m going at it strictly as a law-enforcement guy investigating a possible forgery and fraud. I’m sticking with that, but I’ll tell you one thing. We got tons of other information that could be very shocking, too, but I’m sticking now with just the [forgery] investigation and possible criminal violations.”

City Council Warns ‘Crack Ho’ Comments ‘Intolerable’, Calls For Diversity In Talk Radio.......
Get out of my home, get out of my health care, get out of my schools, get out of my wallet, get out of my kitchen, get out of my bedroom....NOW, get the hell off my radio!!! This is where it starts...nudge...nudge.....bit by bit..The ONLY reason this is being pushed is Rush. You cannot convince me otherwise.
It's the reason I support the flag burning. I say don't ban it. I adore our flag and what it stands for....but there are alot of us asleep at the switch. Nothing like some moron setting our magificent flag on fire to wake people up and get their blood boiling. It's the same with stupid comments. It wakes people up.
This is a matter of civility...and when you have the President and his Administration backing Bill Maher calling Sarah Palin the "C" word...how the heck do you think legislation will change that?...
Councilmember Jan Perry introduced legislation that would call upon media companies to ensure “on-air hosts do not use and promote racist and sexist slurs” on radio and other broadcasts.
'Rush Limbaugh Show' responds to Brock - Politico Readers .....
David Brock is so outraged at Rush Limbaugh’s words of three weeks ago that he started organizing a protest — almost 3 years ago.
It was planned ahead and activated at the first moment Brock could manipulate a media frenzy. Make no mistake, Brock’s “marketplace of ideas” offers only one brand: Brand Brock. All others will be forced off the shelves with intimidation and lies.

The prophetic words of Paul Harvey from 1965 .....
Glenn played some incredible audio this morning on the radio program of radio commentator Paul Harvey from 1965. Glenn knew Harvey, and described him as “absolutely inspired of God.”
Last night on GBTV, Glenn explained to viewers that America has crossed over into new territory. “The progressives, I believe, have realized their dream. They have taken those baby steps,” Glenn said. “It is time to stop studying progressives.”
Glenn challenged those that don’t think the progressives have accomplished their goals to “listen to the prophetic words of radio commentator Paul Harvey.”

'Hunger Games' Illustrates Horrors of Big Government....
It’s said about The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins’ blockbuster novel that will be released in movie form this Friday, that it appeals to a broad demographic ranging from teens to senior citizens. If so, it’s fair to assume that a not insignificant portion of the book’s devotees see a political message within. Cue up the hateful comments, but my libertarian instincts tell me the novel is a boisterous comment about the certain horrors of big government.
CBS Boosts Democrats' Poster Bashing Paul Ryan Plan as Horror Movie ......
Charlie Rose surprised Rep. Paul Ryan on Tuesday's CBS This Morning by promoting the latest smear from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Rose displayed their fake horror-movie poster with Ryan's face beside House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Speaker John Boehner. It included the caption, "Just when you thought Medicare was safe, THEY'RE BACK. This time, they want to finish it for good."
Paul Ryan’s Supply-Side 2012 Budget .....
Working with Dave Camp, Ryan has laid out a great blueprint for Mitt Romney and the whole Republican party. In particular, while listening to the budget meister at a small luncheon for conservative journalists and think-tankers in Washington on Monday, what I heard again and again was an emphasis on economic growth.
Court Sides With Property Owners Over EPA........
Marines down on Obama........
Paul Ryan's Proposal a bold stroke....
"The Republicans running for president could learn a lesson from House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis. If, as the GOP candidates say, we really have gone miles down the wrong fiscal and economic road, and we surely have, then we require something bold and substantive to take us in the right direction. ... Ryan's plan is a bold stroke.
A safer society with guns .....
This article comes from the Boston Globe....the biggest Left Wing RAG in Boston....however once again, Jacoby makes absolute sense and backs it up!
While the University of Colorado spent much of the past decade resisting the state’s concealed-carry law, Colorado State University complied with it. If the gun controllers are right, Colorado State should have seen a surge in crime, while its gun-banning sister institution should have been an Eden of security and lawfulness. That’s not what happened. As Clayton E. Cramer and David Burnett write in a new monograph for the Cato Institute, “crime at the University of Colorado has risen 35 percent since 2004, while crime at Colorado State University has dropped 60 percent in the same time frame.’’

Government by the people, really .....AMEN!
But what if the real compromise isn't in forcing the left and the right to heel? What if instead the solution is to disempower the national elites who think they've got all the answers? Federalism, the process whereby you push most political questions to the lowest democratic level possible — to states, counties, cities, school boards — has been ripe on the right for years. It even had a champion in Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) still carries that torch.
IRS may share tax info with police to fight fraud......
This could become a nightmare unless written CAREFULLY, and only when the person - the victim THEMSELVES allows for information to be shared.
Tax return information is normally kept tightly secret by the IRS. Under the program, exceptions could be made, with the permission of victims of identity theft and tax refund fraud, so that bogus tax return documents could be shared with police.

Paul Ryan - Now That's Leadership!
I actually sat and read Paul Ryan's First Budget proposal and liked everything he suggested. This will be my weekend reading! He's refreshing because he has the guts to "put it out there" and take the fire storm!
In the first moments of reading House Budget Committee's Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Resolution, entitled "The Path to Prosperity" (and subtitled "A Blueprint for American Renewal"), you realize that this is no business-as-usual document.

Martha McSally runs for Ar. Seat opened by Giffords leaving....
While stationed in Saudi Arabia, she led the charge to remove restrictions on U.S. military women abroad, including Department of Defense policies that forced American women to wear Muslim garb and be escorted by males while in the Middle East.
McSally described the discrimination she felt overseas to TheDC.
“I’d have to sit in the back and at all times, I must be escorted by a male who, if asked, is supposed to say I’m his wife,” McSally said.
“I can fly a single-seat aircraft in hostile territory, but in Saudi Arabia I can’t drive a vehicle,” she added

Glenn Beck: “I will not comply” – Amen!
It finally happened. The day has finally come. Glenn admitted on radio this morning that he doesn’t recognize the country, and sees that progressives are starting to crush the idea of American exceptionalism. And while he certainly wasn’t in a cheery mood over what was happening in the country, he did promise not to let the progressives crush him along the way. As regulations, indoctrinations and more come closer and closer to his front door, he made one promise – “I will not comply”.
The GOP budget and America's future .....
Less than a year ago, the House of Representatives passed a budget that took on our generation's greatest domestic challenge: reforming and modernizing government to prevent an explosion of debt from crippling our nation and robbing our children of their future.
Absent reform, government programs designed in the middle of the 20th century cannot fulfill their promises in the 21st century. It is a mathematical and demographic impossibility. And we said so.

Postman: Ayers family put ‘foreigner’ Obama through school....
Hulton says that in conversations with Mary Ayers while on his route he learned of the couple’s enthusiasm and support for a black foreign student. One bright, warm Chicagoland day, he recounts, he met the student who fit Mary Ayers’ description in front of the Ayers home in Glen Ellyn, Ill. That young man, Hulton is convinced, was Barack Obama.
Gov’t-Subsidized ‘Clean Energy’ Company Awarded Loan Guarantee to Sell Solar Panels…to Itself......
Many Americans were upset when they learned First Solar, an Arizona-based solar panel manufacturer, received millions of dollars in loan guarantees from the U.S. government. Chances are, they’ll be even more unhappy when they find out the same company was given an additional $455.7 million loan guarantee to sell solar panels to itself.
Wait. What?
Wait. What?
Malia Obama Oaxaca, Mexico Vacation Story Disappearing from the Web .......m
Have you heard that Malia Obama, the president’s daughter, is reportedly spending her spring break in Oaxaca, Mexico? Allegedly, she’s jetting off with some of her classmates and 25 Secret Service agents to a country that the State Department has said all Americans should avoid. But something is different about the latest “Obama vacation controversy:” references to it are disappearing from the Internet — and fast.
