Just when you were probably convinced that liberal Democrats didn’t believe in property rights, President Obama demonstrates that they do. The catch is that from his perspective, the property is you. Using his party’s recently passed health care reform as justification, Obama all but declared total war on the American individual in an executive order he [...]

Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Andrew Malcolm of the Los Angeles Times’ Top of the Ticket blog joins us by telephone today, as he is on the road.  We’ll talk about the latest in politics and media, especially about the unfolding crisis between the White House and its commander in the main theater of war.  We’ll also talk about the polling fallout of the Oval Office speech, and all of the rest of the headlines.

This really has to be seen to be believed. We all know that MSNBC--Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, etc.--is in the tank for the Obama administration, but I think this is the first time an on-air MSNBC personality has confessed to "working with the White House" on talking points; here, regarding the Gulf oil spill. The MSNBC employee in question is Mika Brzezinski, the daughter of Jimmy Carter's national security adviser. It's really pretty funny to see her reading the White House talking points on air:

Here’s some advance information in prep for Rep. Roskam’s testimony in front of the House Ways & Means Committee on Medicare fraud: Roskam’s Straightforward Fix to Medicare Fraud Predictive modeling technology would save billions

What’s going on with the Sestak quietude? Ed muses: “Now the same party leaders whine to Politico that Sestak hasn’t called to get them on his side. Well, perhaps he’s waiting for some apologies, from both the party leaders and from the White House, which are pretty clearly in order.” What if Sestak just doesn’t want to answer questions? What if the answers get everyone in trouble? What if he’s been threatened?

First headline – Monkeys like watching television. Do you actually have to read the article? Go for it.  No, btw, I did not watch Obama’s speech.  Got my fill of fiction earlier in the day.  Speaking of which …

In a press conference today DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen attempted to use the oil spill to garner support for his politically motivated DISCLOSE bill.

Responding to President Obama’s speech about the Gulf oil spill this morning, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said, “The immediate issue here is a broken pipe that’s been spewing hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil a day into the ocean for mor

57 days after oil spill began, President Obama, along with his most trusted advisor, Ted Teleprompter,  will address the nation tonight about the horrible situation in the Gulf. We’ve read that much of the speech will have absolutely nothing to do with fixing the leak. Right now, people across the country are unanimous in their desire for the leak to be plugged and the mess to be cleaned up, period. Diverting attention and resources to other ideological or reactionary pursuits is not the answer right now.

Amazingly enough, the same Saturday Night Live that brought us obnoxious moonbats like Al Franken and Chevy Chase also produced the patriot Victoria Jackson, who has noticed that there's a communist living in the White House and wants to know what we propose to do about it.
