David Axelrod Argues for Smaller Government

Filed Under Politics | 15 Comments

Never thought I’d see the day that Greasy Axelrod advocated for shrinking the federal monstrosity, but if it’s too much for He Who Knows and Sees All to keep track of, Axe is right — time to cut its size: The government is simply too big for President Obama to keep track of all the [...]

Filed Under Politics, War | 15 Comments

President Obama today ordered into action two members of the greatest military force the world has ever known: I’ve got a little caption contest going over at Michelle’s if you feel like adding one.

Holder: No Special Counsel to Investigate Benghazi

Filed Under Law, Politics | 6 Comments

The US Attorney General is the only person who can appoint special counsels.

Obama on Benghazi Controversy: There’s No ‘There’ There

Filed Under Nat'l Security, Politics | 32 Comments

“There’s no ‘there’ there” is the new “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”: Well, there’s no “there” there now because people angry about an offensive YouTube video terrorists destroyed the place. Obama today also called the Benghazi investigation a “sideshow.” It must be distracting from the IRS’s efforts to crack down on [...]

Filed Under Politics | 22 Comments

Democrats are working hard to try and undermine the Benghazi whistleblowers, especially Greg Hicks.
