President Obama’s tax rate was 20.5%, lower than his secretary’s.
As President Obama mounts an aggressive campaign on what he calls tax fairness, his own tax burden has fallen to the lowest of his time in the White House, lower than many who make far less — including his secretary.

San Bernardino
San Bernardino, CA flooded in welfare funds. Nearly 46% of the people in San Bernardino are now getting some kind of welfare. It totals more than half a billion dollars annually.
Iraq
Politicizing the Iraq Withdrawal President Obama claims his total troop withdrawal by year-end was always the plan. In fact, thousands of our military would be staying longer, training Iraqis, but for the administration’s diplomatic incompetence.
Boeing
More Democrat meddling in business. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, after 20 months of flight tests and certification by the FAA, is ready to make it’s first commercial flight on October 26th. Now three Democrat representatives have sic’d the Government Accounting Office on Boeing.
The Libyans!
The Libyans! An oldie but somehow relevant.
Obama’s teleprompter
Obama’s Teleprompter Some great clips of the “best public speaker in the world.”
The free lunch myth
The Free Lunch Myth Wouldn’t you love to see this nobel laureate debate Obama?
Michael Moore
A young Michael Moore trying to take on someone of intelligence. This clip shows a young Michael Moore being schooled by Milton Friedman. Moore obviously didn’t learn anything from the encounter.
Correction. Not the “real” Michael Moore. This is from the person who posted the YouTube video: “Holy cow! I never thought this video would get so many views. I uploaded it as a joke – this is not the real Michael Moore (although if you add some neckfat it would be hard to tell the difference). I meant “A Young Michael Moore” in the sense that a child who is great at basketball is a “Young Michael Jordan”. Nevertheless, I’m glad it stirred some debate in the comment section, it’s a great back and forth between Friedman and the kid, IMO. I thought the metaphor would be obvious, seeing as how the kid is a skinny redhead, while Michael Moore… well, isn’t a skinny redhead. I apologize for the confusion.”

Greedy Capitalists
Milton Friedman on Greedy Capitalists. This video is 31 years old and is especially relevant today. It should be mandatory viewing by OWS’ers.
What the OWS
What do poor Africans know that OWS protestors don’t? That the way out of poverty is entrepreneurship and small businesses, not freebies.
Nobel Prize
The Nobel Prize for Economics goes to two Americans who have separately exposed the flaws in government stimulus spending. For a Keynesian president, it’s the Anti-Peace Prize. All in all, the judges honored economists who’ve shown what the public knows well: Obamanomics is a failure.
Al Gore
Al Gore is doing a disservice to science by overplaying the link between climate change and weather. He’s being thrown out of the Global Climate Change club.
USPS Profit
The U.S. Postal Service actually runs a profit. But leave it to Congress to require the Postal Service to pre-pay benefits 75 years in advance just so they can raid the fund.
Behind Barack’s Blue Eyes
Behind Barack’s Blue Eyes Roger Daltry and the Who have Obama figured out.
Obama by the numbers
Obama by the numbers. This tells the story of just how ineffective Obama is as a leader of the free world.
Shovel Ready Jobs
Best line from the GOP debate. “My neighbor’s dogs have created more shovel-ready jobs than this administration.”

Obama Justice Department Forces Banks to Make Risky Loans, Planting the Seeds of a Future Financial Crisis. And here we thought Barney Frank was bad. It’s extortion as taught by Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow Coalition.

Can the Postal Service be Saved? Another example of Congress protecting union workers.
Obama’s approval rating sink to all time low
President Obama’s approval ratings, other numbers, sink to all-time low. He’s now being described as an “embattled” President. A better word would be “incompetent.”
Almost 80% of U.S. Congress Lacks Academic Background in Business Economics. Doh! Pretty obvious, isn’t it?
