Since I highlighted President Obama’s lowlights for both 2009 and 2010, why should 2011 be any different? There is, of course, plenty to write about and I shall only scratch the surface. Rather than list examples one by one, I shall group them together in three categories — disagreeable, out of touch, and vain. – American Spectator

It seems that when it comes to jobs, energy, and investment, this is a President who prefers to choose fantasy over reality.

An unidentified GOP candidate leads Obama by one. Remember that the GOP is in a circular firing squad right now with intense primary battles. Millions are being spent on ads attacking Republican candidates while Obama basks in the media’s adulation and refusal to cover the myriad scandals plaguing the White House or examine his abysmal record on the economy.

In the upcoming presidential election, two issues are more important than any others: repealing Obamacare and halting illegal immigration. If we fail at either one, the country will be changed permanently. – Townhall.com

Today, an increasing number of Americans want to understand why our economy is dying and why our national debt is skyrocketing. An increasing number of Americans are deeply frustrated with what is going on in Washington D.C. and they are alarmed that we seem to get closer to becoming a totalitarian police state with each passing year.

Mish outlines what he expects for 2012: Severe European Recession as the sovereign debt crisis escalates; Political Crisis in Europe; Relatively Minor US Economic Recession; Major Profit Recession in US; Global Equity Prices Under Huge Pressure; Fiscal Crisis in Japan Comes to Forefront; Few Hiding Spots Other than the US Dollar; US Public Union Pension Plans Under Attack; Regime Change in China has Major Ramifications; Hyperinflation Calls Once Again Will Look Laughable.

Krugman’s recent blog post on the EPA’s decision to regulate mercury emissions from power plants was so factually mistaken and incredibly misleading that it was surprising even by his standards. In the present post I’ll clarify the depth of the chasm between Krugman’s comments and reality.

The first responsibility of a president is to protest America. Amb. John Bolton is concerned that Ron Paul would not address the dangers to America. Its naive to think that countries like Iran will leave us alone if we just ignore them. Bolton suggest voting for any other candidate besides Ron Paul.

In a time of crisis and while saying he is focused on jobs Obama sets a presidential record for time on the golf course. Its little wonder that many question his leadership or have called him AWOL in the debt crisis. More proof that Obama only SAYS he is concerned about jobs while his radical leftist policies actually are destroying jobs and depressing the economy.
