The situation in Libya is still evolving, with battles being waged around Muammar Qadhafi’s compound in Tripoli this morning. President Obama should not be sucked into a “mission accomplished” type of speech. Unlike in Egypt, Libya is a tribal-based society that can dissolve very quickly into anarchy without a strong central government. Read more at […]

Wow! We have come a long way from “hope” and “change.” President Obama will try to eviscerate and demonize whoever the eventual Republican nominee is, because he does not have a record to stand on. Obama’s failed policies have resulted in nine percent plus unemployment, $14 trillion in debt, and out of control spending. Not […]
July’s unemployment numbers were curiously lauded by some in the press on Friday morning, but the reality of the job market is still grim. The unemployment rate fell by only .1 percentage point, from 9.2 to 9.1 percent and an unimpressive 117,000 jobs were created. Under President Obama’s watch, the unemployment rate has been 9 […]
Economic disaster follows wherever Tim Geithner goes. From overseeing the New York Federal Reserve during the financial crisis in 2008, to being the first Treasury secretary to see America’s sterling AAA credit rating be downgraded – Tim Geithner has failed the American people. President Obama should fire his Treasury secretary for the good of the […]
Americans were sold a false prophet in 2008, and with the Obama recession they will turn their backs on President Obama in 2012. With 9.2 percent unemployment, and a crushing $14.3 trillion debt – with more spending on the way – America is off course due to the failed liberal policies of the Obama administration. […]
With a “compromise” on the debt standoff possibly happening early this week, it is useful to look back to see how we got here in the first place. The current debt crisis did not happen overnight; its roots can be traced back to when the housing market bubble burst back in 2007. The reckless lending […]
The super committee is a total political ploy. “Super committees” and “blue ribbon commissions” are Washington-speak for “just kick the can down the road to the next generation.” Its mandate to cut an additional $1.5 trillion in debt is laughable when we are staring at a staggering $14.3 trillion debt that continues to grow. It […]
As a reminder of the American people’s long standing wishes, Citizens United plans to send 15,000 signed petitions from our members to the newly formed debt “Super Committee” urging them to make the Bush tax cuts permanent. With 9.2 percent unemployment, Americans cannot afford to have their taxes increased or to give more money to […]
The leadership on both sides of the aisle has failed the American people. Today’s plan is an easy way out that could have been hammered out months ago. The “compromise” that has tentatively been reached does not solve the real problem: spending. Read more at Politico here.
