Keep the tax cuts

The 'Bush' tax cuts are quite a funny issue. Apparently even Bush gets it, don't call them "Bush tax cuts", as he said in a recent interview. What's funny is that Liberals spend years saying the Bush tax cuts cause the current crisis, and demonizing the cuts. Only now that they are in office does it appear they actually got an economics lesson or two.
If they just called them the Obama tax cuts, they would pass with ease, and everyone would be happier and say, "He speaks so well".
Sadly they are so stupid they need Bush, who they characterized as an idiot, to tell them to call the cuts something different. That really is just funny.

Netanyahu takes Obama to school

This was almost embarrassing to me as an American and must have been embarrassing to the President unless he is so clueless that he can't understand when he is being insulted politely. When Netanyahu told the President, that "everyone" knows that Israel can't go back to the 1967 Boundaries, it was just as plain a slap in the face as a politician can give. And Netanyahu is right. Everyone does know it, except for Obama it appears. I doubt even Palin would have made so tragic a mistake, and Liberals use her has the benchmark of stupidity on foreign policy. So what does it say that Obama's insights into the world.
Netanyahu had some great remarks in this speech, I'm still looking for a transcript instead of doing this from memory. If you find it please add a comment with a link, I assume it will be on Whitehouse.gov at some point, unless its just too embarassing. He told Obama basically that Obama sided with the terrorists in his proposal. Israel's Al Qaeda is what is called Hamas and said he won't negotiate with terrorists. He then added that Hamas, just attacked you Mr President.
I liked what Leiberman had to say about the O's speech:
"Unfortunately, President Obama's important and constructive speech embracing and supporting the peaceful, democratic revolutions in the Arab world was also undermined by an unhelpful and surprising set of remarks about Israel and the Palestinians that will not advance the peace process and in fact is likely to set it back. ..."

Leiberman gets it here. That's what happens when you have some actual experience working in the world. How could O mess this up so badly, and if not him, doesn't he have some staff?

Kids not allowed to bring salt to school??

Now this is just silly. Salt has been banned from school because the federal government got involved in another waste of tax payer dollars. Or maybe they thought removing salt from schools would actually save money? That is the savings liberals have been looking for. That could be at least .01$ per child per year of savings.
It doesn't stop there either. Kids can't even bring salt to school, to salt their own food. Are you kidding me. Are we going to start inspecting lunches for salt upon entry to school now? Certainly that will cost more than what we saved on the salt. Really, I'm sure I'm thinking about this all wrong. Its not about the money. Its about federal control in every part of your life and now they can tell you want to eat in public. That is just an insane amount of control in any free person's life.

When did Rush Limbaugh turn into a conservative basher?

Rush has been slamming Newt and Daniels. Rush is on the path of violent over through and only those conservatives that support violently opposing anything democrats say is suitable for office. I guess he makes money by creating anger, but still Rush typically reserves his smears for liberals. Now he has Newt calling him a liar and Daniels I'm sure will be saying that Rush has at a minimum been unjustified in his criticism, as only Daniels could. Its nice that Rush can create some fodder for liberals, maybe MSNBC can starting quoting Rush on how bad a solid conservative candidate like Daniels is.
Which candidate is Rush for these days?

Mitch Daniels is awesome

I don't care what Rush says or doesn't say, Mitch Daniels is an awesome leader. Yeah he's not flashy, he's just good at what he does. Other candidates, really just don't have the resume. Is not time for someone who has a great resume of experience doing positive work instead of empty suits talking out both sides of their mouth.
Some other candidates:
1. Newt - I do like Newt. I've always liked Newt. I forgive his baggage because he's a solid conservative. Recently, he has upset me, mistakes maybe, but I don't think he gets the nomination.
2. Palin - Great speaker, but I can't stand her as a candidate. At the most basic level, she doesn't have the experience in local government I want to see in a President. Still better than Obama.
3. Romney - Still better than Obama, but these two probably agree more than I would like them too. Romney at least gets business. I don't hold healthcare in MA against him. That's what his state wants, good for them, but don't bring that national. If he would say its a state's responsibility, I'd feel better about him.

Others.. who?? They still need to get some momentum, nationally. These are the people most likely to win the ticket...

Its the economy stupid and its not good news for Obama

9% say the economy is good or excellent. I'm worried about who those 9% are, but besides them a full 54% say its poor. If that continues we will be looking at a new president in 2012. When these numbers are this bad incumbents don't get re-elected. Most people think elections unfairly favor incumbents (another poll at rasmussen). But that is really the truth. When people think the economy is good, the incumbent is favored. When people think the economy is poor the non-incumbent is favored. Yes the economy was already faltering when Bush beat Gore.

Newt messed that up

When Newt Gingrich said "we need a national conversation" to get a better solution, he was dead wrong in his thinking and speaking. The time for talking is over Newt. There is no national conversation to be had. So far congress looks like a bunch kids:
Republicans: "Reduce the budget"
Democrats: "No"
Republicans: "Yes"
Democrats: "No"

Oh, that was productive. Since we can't actually fire them all for not doing their jobs, we need to let the ones there know that we will vote for any of them the cut enough to balance the budget, no matter what they cut. But a national conversation where people pick apart the current spending program by program that results in class and racial warfare, is totally the wrong way to go. Cut it all by 25% equal to everyone and everything, no favorites, no conversation.
