Federal agents this morning are searching the office Washington, D.C.’s Chief Technology Officer.

The search is part of “an ongoing investigation,” said a spokeswoman for the FBI’s D.C. Field Office, Lindsay Gotwin, said. She declined to comment further on the raid of office, at 1 Judiciary Square.

The outgoing Chief Technology Officer, Vivek Kundra, was appointed last week Chief Information Officer by the Obama administration.

Pelosi open to second stimulus

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday she is open to introducing a second stimulus bill, but it’s too early to determine the size of such a package and the timing on another major economic measure.

“We have to keep the door open to see how it goes,” Pelosi told reporters Tuesday following a House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee hearing on the economy.

FOX Poll: Most Americans Think U.S. Can Go Bankrupt

Not a surprising poll considering Obama has spent more in one month than the bill for Iraq, Afghanistan, and Katrina combined.

“The stock market has plunged to its lowest point in decades, unemployment is up, and home foreclosures are sweeping the country. Still, Americans think it can get even worse – a lot worse. Fully 61 percent of Americans think it is possible the United States government could literally go bankrupt. That’s according to a new Fox News poll released Thursday.

And what about the billions of dollars the government has spent since last fall to get the economy back on track? Many Americans think its simply not working: 44 percent say “things would be the same as they are today or even better” without the spending, while 38 percent think “things could have been a lot worse,” without the spending. Another 14 percent think it is too soon to tell.”

New Recovery.gov Logos

Obama has fooled the tech crowd into thinking the Recovery.gov website is something other than propaganda.

Michelle Malkin has a collection of logos that photoshopper put their talents to, and came up with some awesome logos.

The full post has all the logos, but this one is my favorites.

Exactly Wrong on the Economy

And so I want to thank the New York Times for portraying the Obama budget for what it is: The most audacious attempt in generations to create a government-centered, bureaucratically controlled country.

We should have seen it coming.

Way back in November, when the Obama team was still flush with victory in the election, Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel laid out what he called “Rule One”:

“Never let a crisis go to waste.”

Obama may use 50-vote tactic on energy, healthcare

President Obama’s budget director said the White House would consider using a Senate procedural tactic so that only 50 votes would be rquired to pass major healthcare and energy reforms…using budget reconciliation to pass policy proposals is controversial, even among some Democrats who believe doing so strains Senate rules and tradition.

WSJ: The Obama Economy

This is a great article in the Wall Street Journal. Click the link below to read the whole article.

“As 2009 opened, three weeks before Barack Obama took office, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 9034 on January 2, its highest level since the autumn panic. Yesterday the Dow fell another 4.24% to 6763, for an overall decline of 25% in two months and to its lowest level since 1997. The dismaying message here is that President Obama’s policies have become part of the economy’s problem.

Americans have welcomed the Obama era in the same spirit of hope the President campaigned on. But after five weeks in office, it’s become clear that Mr. Obama’s policies are slowing, if not stopping, what would otherwise be the normal process of economic recovery. From punishing business to squandering scarce national public resources, Team Obama is creating more uncertainty and less confidence — and thus a longer period of recession or subpar growth.”

Obama Giving Palestinians $1 Billion of Your Money

After passing one of the biggest spending bills ever, and after proposing tax hikes for employers and producers, Obama now thinks that nearly $1Billion of your taxpayer dollars to the palestinians.  I would say this defies logic, but then again, we are dealing with  Obama and democrats here.

“Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, arriving in Egypt late today, prepared to announce more than $900 million in aid to the Palestinians as she wades into the Middle East conflict that President Barack Obama has made an early diplomatic priority.”

It’s time for a full impeachment of Obama and the Senate.  We cannot stand around any longer while our future is handed to foreigners.
