VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Politics Have Trumped Ethics In The Obama Administration. That's assuming they had any to start with, which I sincerely doubt.
THOMAS SOWELL: Poverty and Snow Storms.
There are no magic solutions, at least none that I know of. Common sense, common decency, work and honesty are about all I can come up with. These things are not fancy or new or politically correct. But they have a better track record than much that we are doing today.
Well said. Read it all.
MICHAEL BARONE: "End crony capitalism. Sell federal land. Limit tax breaks for the rich. Elect a president able and willing to negotiate solutions on entitlements and taxes."
CAL THOMAS: Veterans Affairs scandal shows failure of government-run health care. It's a good thing that ObamaCare isn't 'government-run health care' (at least according Bob Beckel, Fox News' resident Democrat co-host of The Five).
WASHINGTON EXAMINER EDITORIAL: Tea Party brings GOP back to its Main Street roots.

Didn't I post a similar thought yesterday? Why, yes. Yes I did.
WHY?


Guess who's making the demand?
HEH: 'Fair Trade' isn't.
FOX NEWS OPINION: Barack Obama is a king, not a president.

Well, he's certainly a wannabe who thinks he is.
VIDEO: Angry man not quite angry enough to hold anyone accountable for VA fiasco.

Check the video. In one minute, 44 seconds, there's not a single actionable statement made, but there are 9 "I's" and one Commander-in-Chief -- a self-reference about every 10 seconds.

His press conference wasn't about the Veterans Administration, it was about him.
French railway orders trains too wide for station platforms. It'll only cost an additional $70M to trim the railway station platforms to accommodate the wider trains....
OF COURSE your health records are private.

According to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act [HIPAA], your medical records, without your express permission, can be disclosed to doctors, hospitals, insurance agents, billing clerks, marketers, researchers, the IRS, damn near anyone in the state or federal government, and the NSA (who 'honestly' steals them).

But if I want to know if my wife's doctor has finally gotten around to refilling a prescription so I can pick it up, I can't.

Feeling better now?
RON FOURNIER: How Obama Became the superhero of Excuses.
IS IT GLOBAL WARMING, GLOBAL COOLING, OR GLOBAL IDIOCY?



I vote for the latter.
EPIC INCOMPETENCE: the new correct Obama narrative.

I had the (mis)fortune to tune in to Obama's VA press conference; it seemed his every third word was "I". The man's arrogance is astonishing.
THE QUESTION isn't "Who is running this country?", it is "Who should be running this country?"
