T. CODDINGTON VAN VOORHEES VII rethinks his support for President Obama. Read it all.

I was particularly amused by the “git r dun” phrase, since I saw exactly that same phrase on a bumper sticker driving to work this morning.

TOO RICH: “The Labor Department is shoving money out the door for ‘green jobs,’ yet at the same time is admitting it doesn't know what a ‘green job’ is.”

IS OBAMA FAILING, OR LIBERALISM? Both.

"VERY SENIOR OFFICIAL": McChrystal’s out, and Petraeus is in as top war commander in Afghanistan.

BUMPED: Much more here. Follow the links.

AMID CRISES, Obama declares war -- on Arizona?

BUSINESS LEADERS SAY Obama's economic policies stifle growth. I listen to the Business Roundtable ‘public service’ advertisements on the radio almost every morning. When the Business Roundtable is unhappy with the president, you know something is seriously wrong.

WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH MICHIGAN?

Standard political analysis would suggest that Michigan should have moved even farther toward the Democrats since 2008. In the deep recession Michigan has consistently been the nation’s number one unemployment state. And the federal government under the Obama administration bailed out General Motors and Chrysler, two of Michigan’s largest employers—although one might more accurately say that the Obama administration bailed out the United Auto Workers, Michigan’s largest private sector union.

But Michigan voters have been moving right, not left. A recent poll taken for the Detroit Free Press poll showed that only 43% of Michiganians support the Obama Democrats’ health care bill and 53% are opposed. Most interestingly, 69% of those under 30 are opposed; they apparently have figured out that the bill would force them to pay more to subsidize insurance for their elders.

What’s the matter with Michigan? Nothing. They’ve learned.

ANOTHER REASON TO AVOID BIG GOVERNMENT: Nannies and Bootleggers.

OBAMA’S 'CHICAGO WAY' plunders the private sector: “The Chicago Way works locally because there is an America out there that ultimately pays for it. But who will pay for an America run the Chicago Way?”

Good question.

AT LAST: a cell phone for senior citizens.

YOU CAN THANK OBAMACARE: Demographics and economics have conspired to put a lot of doctors at the age where they are ready to cash out, and facing the specter of more paperwork and more regulations for less money under Obamacare, many will decide to get out while the getting is good.

OBAMACARE: Get ready to pay for young slackers’ sex-lives.

OBAMA FIRES UP THE BLAMETHROWER AGAIN: The GOP to blame for spill, because if I had tried to prevent it, which I didn't, they would have stopped me.

AN AESTHETIC REASON for manned spaceflight.

WHAT HAS THE OIL SPILL taught us about Obama’s leadership and competence?

That he is neither a leader nor competent?

SARAH PALIN: “Mr. President, please do not punish the American public with any new energy tax in response to this tragedy. Just because BP and federal regulators screwed up that doesn’t mean the rest of us should get punished with higher taxes at the pump and attached to everything petroleum products touch.”

As I’m sure Mrs. Palin knows, that’s the liberal way: always punish the innocent for the sins of the guilty.

USEFUL IDIOTS and the degeneration of democracy.

OBAMA’S ENERGY PIPE DREAMS. It's not industry lobbyists who sustain fossil fuels but the reality that they're economically and socially necessary.

THE STATESMEN OF ERAS PAST have been replaced by a set of barely competent social workers eager to take over the risks of our everyday life.

Too true. Read it all and follow the link.
