Excuses – The NY Times had an explanation for the bad job growth in January – the weather. The NYT should face facts that job growth has been anemic for the past 2 years and it should going out of its way to make excuses for the President.
Tax Credits – The IRS has reported that over 13,000 people wrongly (fraudulently) claimed some 33 million in electric car tax credits. Apparently the subsidy incentive is only working to create more fraud, not more electric cars on the road.
New START – Obama banned the press from the signing of the nuclear disarmament treaty with Russia.
Fort Hood Massacre – The Senate probe into the event not only pointed out the ineptness of the FBI and military for preventing the event, but also warned against further extreme Islam attacks and the consequences of political correctness.
Democratic National Committee (DNC) – The Republican National Committee debt of 10.5 million dollars has gotten a lot of air time, but has anyone heard that the DNC has a debt of 19 million dollars!
NYC – Mayor Bloomberg is trying to ban smoking outside in city parks and other areas.
Egypt – They rank second in the world in receiving financial aid – including 2 billion annually from the U.S.
Military Service – For the second straight year (2009 and 2010) suicide has killed more service members than fighting in both the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts combined.
Dennis Kucinich – He threatened to sue the Congressional cafeteria for 150 thousand dollars because he bit into an olive pit. He settled for some unknown amount.
The Housing Market – One in nine homes is still unoccupied or about 18.4 million homes – mostly due to foreclosures.
New Jobs – Over half of the jobs lost during the recession paid between 17.50 to 31 dollars per hour. Of the new jobs created in 2010 over three fourths pay between 7.50 and 15 dollars per hour.
The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) – The FCIC published a report on the financial meltdown even though the committee was not in agreement and it found no smoking gun.
Global Warming – Some climatologists are blaming the Arctic temperatures in the U.S. over the past two years on global warming. They claim warmer arctic temperatures are allowing frigid temperatures to move further south. Of course, other climatologists completely disagree with this hypothesis.
Budget Cuts – Democrats are uniting with lobbyists to fight the 100 billion in proposed budget cuts from the Republicans. The Obama budget has 53 billion for a high speed rail and it also includes more funding to bail out states.
ObamaCare – The administration is funding a comic book to explain the new healthcare overhaul law.
Jim Webb – The Democratic Virginia Senator will not run for reelection in 2012 (one and done). This is a very winnable seat for the GOP
