The Weekly Standard | A Weekly Conservative Magazine and Blog of News and Opinion.:
If the Republicans win enough seats in Congress this November, GOP leader John Boehner will become the next speaker of the House. The Ohio Republican would assume the gavel amid a maelstrom of polarization not seen since the late nineteenth century."

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer slams 'foreign interference' in immigration lawsuit - Scott Wong - POLITICO.com
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer slams 'foreign interference' in immigration lawsuit - Scott Wong - POLITICO.com:
In a new twist in the fight over Arizona’s immigration law, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer on Tuesday asked a federal court to disallow foreign governments from joining the U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit to overturn the law.
The move comes in response to a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling issued Monday, allowing nearly a dozen Latin American countries — Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru and Chile — to submit friend-of-the-court briefs in Justice’s challenge to SB 1070, which Brewer signed into law in April and is considered one of the nation’s toughest immigration-enforcement measures."

American Thinker Blog: Obama believes your paycheck is not your own
Such a surprise.....The government has long thought of us not as voters - but as a very large unending ATM machine!
American Thinker Blog: Obama believes your paycheck is not your own:
President Obama said something the other day that stunned me. This is a real accomplishment, given my already dim view of the man.
In reference to Martin Feldstein's proposal that all tax rates be maintained at their current lower levels, the President said,
If we were going to spend $700 billion, it seems it would be wiser having that $700 billion going to folks who would spend that money right away."

“Way down here, you need a reason to move,” begins James Taylor in his classic hit, “Mexico.” So investors must have had their reasons for making an aggressive move into the 100-year bond issued by Mexico yesterday, but the lack of clarity on those reasons is making some nervous that it is a sign we’re entering a credit bubble."

American Thinker: Erasing America: Barack Obama's Motivation and Method:
It took time to free the slaves,' proclaimed Barack Obama during a recent speech aimed at salvaging support for his fundamental transformation of America. Our president, a man who views the world through an oppressed-versus-oppressor lens, puts an agenda of economic destruction on moral par with the emancipation of the slaves. Obama is trying to reduce America to a second-rate ration. But why and how?"

The American Spectator : President Obama's Tax Piracy:
Starting on January 1, 2011, President Obama's economic recovery policy will begin the implementation of comprehensive, across the board, tax rate increases for every major federal tax. The full breathtaking scope of those tax increases, and how they will harm every family in America, is discussed in my latest work, President Obama's Tax Piracy, published as part of Encounter's Broadside series. That series now includes 17 publications by such outstanding authors as Steve Moore on economic policy, John Bolton on national defense and American sovereignty, Betsy McCaughey on Obamacare, Michael Ledeen on Obama's betrayal of Israel, Michael Mukasey on terrorism, Roy Spencer on 'global warming,' and John Fund on Obama's election fraud, all in the tradition of Thomas Paine's Common Sense pamphlets."

Karl Rove: Democrats and 'Poisoned' Politics - WSJ.com:
In March 2004, when Barack Obama was a candidate for the U.S. Senate in the Illinois Democratic primary, he excoriated President George W. Bush for creating a 'jobless recovery.' The month he said that, 334,000 new jobs were created—none of them temporary Census ones—and unemployment was 5.8%.
That was then. Now the unemployment rate is 9.6%, and tomorrow's jobs report is unlikely to be much better."

Voters Are Much Less Optimistic About Black-White Relations - Rasmussen Reports™
And I wonder why - WHO keeps bringing this up - again, and again and again? I believe his name is OBAMA!!
Voters Are Much Less Optimistic About Black-White Relations - Rasmussen Reports™:
Perceptions about the state of black-white relations in America have fallen dramatically since the summer of 2009. But voters are still more optimistic about that relationship than they are about relations between whites and Hispanics and between blacks and Hispanics.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 36% of voters now say relations between blacks and whites are getting better. That’s down from 62% in July of last year at the height of the controversy involving a black Harvard professor and a white policeman. That number had fallen only slightly to 55% in April of this year."

Taxpayers Face Hit as Congress Delays Vote - WSJ.com:
Lack of congressional action on 2011 income taxes may force the Treasury Department to make unprecedented moves to prevent U.S. workers from seeing large tax increases in their January paychecks.
The issue: 2011 tax-withholding tables. Treasury officials usually release the tables, which determine the take-home pay of millions of wage-earners, by mid-November because it takes payroll processors weeks to adjust their systems before Jan. 1."

Fed Officials Mull Inflation as a Fix - WSJ.com
Fed Officials Mull Inflation as a Fix - WSJ.com:
The Federal Reserve spent the past three decades getting inflation low and keeping it there. But as the U.S. economy struggles and flirts with the prospect of deflation, some central bank officials are publicly broaching a controversial idea: lifting inflation above the Fed's informal target.
The rationale is that getting inflation up even temporarily would push 'real' interest rates—nominal rates minus inflation—down, encouraging consumers and businesses to save less and to spend or invest more."

Gallup Finds U.S. Unemployment at 10.1% in September
Gallup Finds U.S. Unemployment at 10.1% in September:
PRINCETON, NJ -- Unemployment, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, increased to 10.1% in September -- up sharply from 9.3% in August and 8.9% in July. Much of this increase came during the second half of the month -- the unemployment rate was 9.4% in mid-September -- and therefore is unlikely to be picked up in the government's unemployment report on Friday"

Panel: Gov’t blocked scientists on spill estimate | The Daily Caller :
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration blocked efforts by government scientists to tell the public just how bad the Gulf oil spill could become and committed other missteps that raised questions about its competence and candor during the crisis, according to a commission appointed by the president to investigate the disaster.
In documents released Wednesday, the national oil spill commission’s staff describes “not an incidental public relations problem” by the White House in the wake of the April 20 accident."

EPA Estimates Its Greenhouse Gas Restrictions Would Reduce Global Temperature by No More Than 0.006 of a Degree in 90 Years | CNSnews.com:
(CNSNews.com) – Tough new rules proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency restricting greenhouse gas emissions would reduce the global mean temperature by only 0.006 to 0.0015 of a degree Celsius by the year 2100, according to the EPA's analysis.
As a side effect, these rules would “slow construction nationwide for years,” the EPA said in a June 3 statement."
