Obama’s budget to produce record $9.3 trillion in deficits
President Barack Obama’s budget would produce $9.3 trillion in deficits over the next decade, more than four times the deficits of Republican George W. Bush’s presidency, congressional auditors said Friday. It’s a prospect even the president’s own budget director called unsustainable.

Pelosi is a Shame, Calls Immigration Laws “Un-American”
Sometimes I wonder how and why people like Pelosi are constantly elected, then I remember what area she represents and then it all makes sense.
Pelosi has to be one of the worst leaders in American history, and she is the typical politician who will tell the crowd what exactly they want to hear.

Obama Received AIG Bonus, Time for Him to Resign
Today was filled with a bunch of the usual fake outrage from the left concerning the bonuses that AIG executives received. Lets remember, these bonuses were allowed in the Porkulus bill from Obama.
Now we find out Obama, and many other politicians were the recipients of bonuses and payoffs from AIG during the campaign.
From RedState.com:
“Senator Barack Obama received a $101,332 bonus from American International Group in the form of political contributions according to Opensecrets.org. The two biggest Congressional recipients of bonuses from the A.I.G. are – Senators Chris Dodd and Senator Barack Obama.
The A.I.G. Financial Products affiliate of A.I.G. gave out $136,928, the most of any AIG affiliate, in the 2008 cycle. I would note that A.I.G.’s financial products division is the unit that wrote trillions of dollars’ worth of credit-default swaps and “misjudged” the risk.”
I think it’s time for Obama to do the right thing and just resign. His administration has been a complete embarrassment so far.

American Thinker Must Read: My Socialist Past
This is just a fantastic article that is a definite must read. Send this to your Obama supporting friends and ask them if this is what they want.
If the Democrats have their way, America will become the world’s largest socialist economy at the very moment when the rest of the world, even the welfare states of western Europe, have begun to repudiate socialism. Yet evidence of America’s mounting ideological capitulation is everywhere. Suspicion of our “giant corporations” is a frequent refrain of the political Left, as if giant government, which produces nothing and preys upon the earnings of the public, were not menacing in a way that healthy corporations never are.
Obama’s tirades against free enterprise, aimed one day at offending CEOs and another at whole industries or free market philosophies, witness to the true character of this president. His hostility to corporate profits, or profits earned as a result of any business or individual endeavor, reveals a warped sense of reality. Imprinted somewhere on his mind is the pernicious notion that no enterprise, no behavior, no expression unregulated by the state can be permitted to exist.
