Day By Day by Chris Muir
Well, Chris what do you expect from the Obama Administration? It is “hope and change” so keep hoping that they will change and do something right.
Remember what President Ronald Reagan said:
“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”
The BP Oil Spill Crisis is only becoming worse and worse from government inaction and incompetence.

With the support of Sen. Chris Dodd, D.-Conn., the federal government has awarded $54 million to Connecticut's politically well-connected Mohegan Indian tribe, which operates one of the highest grossing casinos in the U.S.
The tribe runs the sprawling Mohegan Sun casino, halfway between New York City and Boston, which earned more than $1.3 billion in gross revenues in 2009. Each tribe member receives a cut of the profits, a number a tribal official said was "less than $30,000" per capita per year. The stimulus money is a loan from a U.S. Department of Agriculture rural development program that is meant to help communities of less than 20,000 people that have been "unable to obtain other credit at reasonable rates and terms and are unable to finance the proposed project from their own resources."

Uh, No!
But, what do you expect from Obama spreading the wealth around – to his friends.

Days after North Carolina Congressman Bob Etheridge (D-Lillington) was seen in a video confrontation with a man with a camera on a Washington street, a new poll seems to indicate the incident has damaged him with voters.
The conservative leaning Civitas Institute released a flash poll Thursday that shows Etheridge slightly trailing Republican challenger Renee Ellmers.
Civitas said the poll of 400 registered voters in the 2nd Congressional District shows Ellmers leads Etheridge 39 percent to 38 percent. Twelve percent said they would vote for Libertarian Tom Rose and 11 percent said they were undecided.
The margin of error was plus or minus 5 percent – putting the candidates in a statistical dead heat

Keith Olbermann announced Wednesday night that he will cease blogging for the liberal Daily Kos over a comment directed at the MSNBC host’s coverage.
Olbermann and some of his MSNBC colleagues surprised their left-leaning fans on Tuesday with eviscerating critiques of President Barack Obama’s Oval Office address on the oil spill spewing off the Gulf Coast.
“It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last 57 days,†Olbermann said of the president’s remarks, echoing similarly negative comments from fellow MSNBC hosts Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow.
One commenter on the Daily Kos, where Olbermann has frequently blogged over the years, speculated that the pattern of hosts generally sympathetic to the president bashing the administration was too consistent to be a coincidence.

Keith Olbermann is a moron

With less than five months left until Election Day, many political commentators are asking whether this year’s midterm elections could be a reprise of 1994 when Republicans picked up 8 seats in the Senate and 54 seats in the House of Representatives to take control of both chambers for the first time in 40 years. There is almost universal agreement that Republicans are poised to make major gains in both the House and the Senate. And while the GOP’s chances of gaining the 10 seats needed to take control of the upper chamber appear to be remote, the 39 seats required to take back the House of Representatives may be within reach.
+++++++
Even if the GOP does not achieve complete control, the Dems hold on policy will be over. Will it be better for Obama that Republicans win complete control?
The answer is yes.
Then, he can blame the GOP going into the 2012 elections.

Day By Day by Chris Muir
The political agendas of MSNBC and NBC in general have suddenly turned sour when George W. Bush left office. Their candidate, Barack Obama is NOT doing so well and their viewership stats demonstrate their decline.
My guess is that without CNN abysmal production, MSNBC would fade away as number three in cable news.
For now, Fox News will just be the ONLY game in town – well, in DC anyway.

"It's no surprise that [Republican Carly] Fiorina is attacking me," Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., wrote in a recent fundraising pitch, "because she's so out of touch with California voters. … She supports allowing people on the no-fly terrorist watch list to buy guns."
This is a line I've seen and heard repeatedly in the last month, and one that I expect to hear from many Democratic candidates this fall. At issue in the debate, and in recently proposed legislation: Should the government restrict the gun rights of people whose names appear on a secret list kept by the government?

Abridgement of second amendment rights without due process is antithetical to the Bill of Rights itself.

Californians need to acknowledge the full consequences of the state’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and accept the reality “that the net result of green policies may be negative for the economy,†says a report released today by the California Lutheran University Center for Economic Research and Forecasting.
The report, co-authored by the center’s director, economist Bill Watkins, was commissioned by the California Manufacturers and Technology Association. It becomes the latest in a series of conflicting reports and analyses on the potential economic impacts of AB32, California’s landmark climate-change law, and will add fuel to the debate over a November ballot proposition that seeks to suspend the law’s implementation.
The report, which Watkins called “a review of the evidence,†argues that there will be no net economic benefit from any green jobs created as a result of the legislation.
+++++++++
Not a shocker but very obvious….

Sen. Barbara Boxer said last week that climate change — not any of that other stuff — will stand as the "leading cause of conflict" over the next two decades. The comment was apparently based on reports and studies over the past few years that have linked climate change to other security issues, but her colleagues — as well as her Senate campaign opponent — described the prediction as a big stretch.
Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., Boxer's Republican counterpart on the environment committee she chairs and arguably the most outspoken global warming skeptic in Congress, decried the warning on Tuesday as a bogus ploy to win support for a sweeping energy regulation bill.
++++++
If Boxer persists she will lose big in November.
