Wednesday’s Words
PRESIDENT OBAMA CONTINUES to sink in the polls, all of them, not just the ‘right-wing’ Rasmussen poll our liberal friends like to talk about in a dismissive manner. CNN has his health care approval numbers at 40%, Gallup 37%, CBS 36%, Quinnipiac 41. Gallup says 40% approval for the economy, 47% for foreign affairs, Gallup reports these are the lowest numbers they have reported during his Presidency. A Quinnipiac poll on whether John McCain would have been better for the country and should have been elected is a statistical tie.
JACK CAFFERTY OF CNN called Nancy Pelosi a ‘horrible woman’ twice yesterday. Cafferty, who usually reserves his nastiness for conservatives railed against her for two minutes about her trip to Copenhagen ( three military jets, 20 Congressmen, 5 star Marriott ) and refusing to answer questions about it’s cost. He said with the country suffering with 10% unemployment, there was no justification for this trip. Wow, Maureen Dowd, now Cafferty, they are all starting to sound like, well, like conservatives. We tried to tell you all……
HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADER John Boehner said yesterday that House Republicans were working on a platform for nationalizing races in November, like the Contract with America did in 1994. He didn’t quite call it a contract, but I am thankful they are at least thinking about it.
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION claimed yesterday that Porkulus ’saved or created’ two million jobs. Do they really believe that? What are they smoking? If they keep this up, whet little credibility they have will be gone.
DOUGLAS SHULMAN, Commissioner of the IRS, said yesterday that the tax code was ‘complex’ and admitted he paid a tax preparer to do his return. When asked what could be changed to make it simpler, he dodged by saying tha t was up to Congress, that they wrote the laws, he just administered them.
YESTERDAY, NORTHWEST Flight 243 from Amsterdam was delayed on the runway in Detroit after landing because of unruly passengers. Five men from Saudi Arabia were speaking in Arabic and were overheard by the four air marshals on board. The marshals spoke Arabic, did not like what the men were saying, stopped the plane away from the terminal and removed the Saudis.
THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY Commission, set up by Congress to examine the root causes of the current financial situation, is holding it’s first hearing today with testimony from bank executives from Chase, J P Morgan and others. However no execs from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac were called, and apparently no plans to call them either. Since Fannie and Freddie were at the center of the mess, one suspects that the Commission is intended to cover up, not expose.
MORE LATER….

I was amazed at the quick response by Obama to the Haiti situation, but 3 days to respond to the underwear man.

If you’re looking for a good analysis of how we got into the commercial/mortgage bank meltdown, go to TVW and watch Attorney General Rob McKenna’s speech to the Mainstream Republicans of Washington’s Cascade Conference last may. It’s a most extensive piece.
It can be found at

Or go to TVW’s website and look it up. -

It seems as if these terrorist folks simply cannot just be ignored as the spasmotic liberals would like. There is such a huge retreat from reality by these oddball lefties that I find myself just breaking out in laughter when I hear their uniformed opinions about how we should really deal with these monstrous terrorists.
Obviously Obama has been educated on the true threat as he has stopped the exodus of terrorists from Gitmo. He is also supporting the anti-terror war ins Afghansitan. Hmmmm maybe “W” actually knew more than our lib idiot friends?

The only thing that supprises me is that the stupied people reporting the news after pledging their undieing support for a total left wing lune like Obama or Pelosi, then end up getting pie in the eye and they don’t understand why.

THANKS Kirby for keeping ON TOP of all the radical issues plagueing this country and all the local and national happenings WE NEED TO KNOW! I work for a very liberal company and I am amazed how many of my peers NEVER LISTEN TO THE TV, RADIO OR NEWSPAPER to hear what is happening everyday! They just shrug if off and say “I didn’t know that!” UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

It was so good to hear you on David Boze show.
Miss you in the morning.

Once again Kirby we have a system that registers only after the fact in regards to the Saudi’s in Detroit. They became a problem AFTER they already went through security in Amsterdam and made it through to Detroit and landed. What if they were profiled as young Saudi men and pulled aside BEFORE the flight? Perhaps they would have exhibited the unruly behavior and been denied boarding the trans-Atlantic flight. This latest incident doesn’t build my confidence in the security of the system with POST flight detainment and approval.
