Last year President Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize for his future efforts towards peace. Another first for the President, whether or not you may believe he deserved the award. But along with the Nobel the President was given $1.4 million. At the time I questioned why the President, already a millionaire, didn’t give the [...]
Where does Senator Kirsten Gillibrand stand on a nuclear Iran?
So what has Senator Kirsten Gillibrand been saying about Iran? It’s a question that should be asked as we look forward to the mid-term elections and considering the latest news of a nuclear-armed Iran.
The most recent development is a sanction meant to target individual Iranians that have caused human rights abuses. The proposal is to [...]
Nuclear Iran – What will President Obama do?
Over the last 2 years or so President Obama has been very clear about his thoughts on Iran. It is a country we need to speak with. It is a country that we cannot confront with power or with the might of America on our shoulders. Iran must be spoken to with a warm [...]
President Obama on business
Truly I am shocked. How is it possible that a survey of investors could find that 77% believe President Obama is anti-business? I suppose they are all racists and greedy so there should be no surprise.
Of course if we look at the Obama Administration policy from a view that is anything but the hardline Left [...]
Valentines for Haiti
Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love. Usually it’s a day when a gift or expression of love is given to someone that you know and care about. But love is not limited to those in our immediate circle of friends, family, and relationships. There is also the love of our fellow human being.
Haiti has [...]
Abdulmutallab: purse snatcher or terrorist
The question that seems to be facing the Obama Administration is one that the average American seems to have no difficulty in answering. What is the underwear bomber? How do we proceed? The following video commentary by Michael Vass addresses this.

Secretary of State Clinton back in the news – sort of
Well the latest news is somewhat about Hillary Clinton, in an indirect manner. Which is more press than she has had in quite some time. Some might even call the news positive.
Before stating more on the news, let’s refresh how the Secretary of State got the position. One of the major conditions was in reference [...]
Your pets cause global warming so eat them
Maybe it’s me but I wonder what PETA is going to say about a recent article by AFP on how pets are the next global warming (or are they using the new ‘climate change’ slogan) problem that needs to be solved?
Don’t believe me?
“The Vales, specialists in sustainable living at Victoria University of Wellington, analysed [...]
546 days and counting
So after much thought I’ve come to conclude this about President Obama’s speech at West Point. In one of the shortest speeches ever uttered by President Obama (including during the 2007 – 2008 election cycle) the world was told
A) America will surge in Afghanistan
B) President Obama has no confidence in winning
C) The bluster of the [...]
Transcript of President Obama at West Point
Good evening. To the United States Corps of Cadets, to the men and women of our Armed Services, and to my fellow Americans: I want to speak to you tonight about our effort in Afghanistan — the nature of our commitment there, the scope of our interests, and the strategy that my administration will pursue [...]
Back to Copenhagen – President Obama to spread more hot air
Is it just me, or does anyone else think it’s useless for President Obama to be going to Demark for the global meeting on global warming. Which says nothing of how laughable his constant promises to present U.S. initiatives on global warming to the rest of the world.
Let’s just start with the basics.
The entire issue [...]
Glenn Beck asks – win or leave Afghanistan
For some time now I have been discussing the indecision of President Obama in regard to our troops in Afghanistan (as well as Iraq with President Bush). I believe I have made my views very clear on this issue. America needs to take a strong position and fight to win this war, or we must [...]
Mostly Gutless
For those that have read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, you may get the reference that my post title refers to. For those that are not, in the book by Doug Addams the guide book of all things in the universe listed Earth as harmless. After sending an alien to Earth for the updated [...]
Consequences of 9/11 trials in New York build globally
I don’t know how many people noticed this. It’s not the biggest news in regard to the 9/11 trials that are going to happen in NYC. But the ramifications of this trial, and how that affects Germany, is critical to Americans sleeping at night.
As reported by the N Y Post, Germany will be sending a [...]
Afghanistan – the war President Obama wanted
Since there seems to be plenty of time before President Obama takes any action in the war America should be fighting (Afghanistan according to his campaign promises), I thought I might take a look at who is doing something there.
There are 39 countries with troops in Afghanistan. That includes the U.S. But there is also: [...]
Afghanistan. Does President Obama remeber that country?
During the Presidential campaign of 2008, President Obama made statements of no uncertianty about Afghanistan. He stated clearly that Iraq was the wrong place for American troops to be fighting. He stated that Osama Bin Laden was in Afghanistan, and he was going to make sure that was where our troops would be if he [...]
Global warming?
Who is Lord Monckton? Do you know? I didn’t, but it seems that Al Gore definitely does.
Why is it important to know? Well it makes the difference if you want to know the truth about global warming.
Now like most people I am not a scientist. I don’t have a supercomputer crunching extreme theoretical math. [...]
Examining President Obama and his Stimulus
I almost feel bad for President Obama. He came out strong with plans to change America. He dove head first, leaping without looking, into Guantanamo Bay, the economy, healthcare, and Afghanistan. He promised a transparent Government, with accountability, and decisive action.
So far he has failed at every turn to provide a single positive. His supporters [...]
Movie Preview: Not Evil Just Wrong
Remember when a regular guy stepped up and took on the mega-corporations in a movie. There was no end to coverage in the media and support for the film created a career for Michael Moore. Since that time he has jumped up and down on the Conservatives of the nation, and most recently hypocritically denounced [...]
Should the President walk on water?
Recently, President Obama made a statement that
‘They [some in the media] keep asking me – Why haven’t you ended world hunger yet? I’ve only been in office 9 months. What do they expect.’
And I have to agree that such superhuman expectations are insane. Though I find it interesting that President Obama makes this statement as [...]
