We wonder why we think just when President Obama cannot make us be shocked, he does it again. Pushing the limits of his recess appointment powers and stretching it to the thinnest point by passing the Senate to install three members of the National Labor Relations Board. While he was at it he appointed a director for the controversial new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray was tapped to head the consumer protection agency. The three others two Democrats and one Republican to the labor board, those nominations had all been held up in congress. The reason is the accruing of too much power to the White House through those two agencies. The breaking of the rules came just a day after the Senate held a session. Why does that matter, the senate is not in a recess, so how can he make a recess appointment. The senate was worried about this in the past with President Bush. Senators from both parties put a stop to it 2007 and 2008, when President Obama was in the Senate. Then for him to jump when he knows the rule was set that it takes a recess of at least three days before the president can use his appointment powers. Can this election get here any quicker and is that not proof that the future of American will change drastically if we do not make a stand.

Newt Gingrich has turned into a complaining old man with a loss of reality of his own situation. They saw all the politics is not bean bags it is war. Everyone knows all is fair in love and war. Everyone except Newt Gingrich who claimed last week that him being left of the ballot in his own home state was like Pearl Harbor. We let it go because maybe there was reference that he was using we did not know. Turns out it was not we do not get the connection unless we pointed out to Japan exactly where our ships were and promised not to fight back then it would be the same, our fault. This was the Gingrich camps fault and there is no one to blame but the man in the mirror. Then he has gone on to complain he is being attacked welcome to hardball and it is odd that he said he would not attack but most of his stump speeches are nothing more than do not vote for them they cannot win. The problem is the message should be what you can do for us. The light is starting to dull and we feel Newt can ride off into the sunset pretty quickly as he will be lucky to make it to South Carolina.

Christmas is over we look to New Years and Iowa is ony seven days away. GOP candidates spread out across the state to find potential caucus-goers, this is still up in the air based on the polls and reports from inside say they are awash of television and radio ads. Ron Paul has been the latest to feel the stings as the lame stream media and his rivals disqualify him on social issues, foreign affairs and even his decades-old newsletter. We are surprised as Newt who said he would not go negative seems to spending more time telling people why he would not vote for someone else then reason to vote for him. Governor Rick Perry who is on life support as a candidate has taken up the cause against Paul as well claiming Americans should not vote for a candidate who would allow Iran to wipe Israel off the face of the earth and then ultimately America. The scrutiny brought out a newsletter from the 90’s where it is written Homosexuals, not to speak of the rest of society, were far better off when social pressure forced them to hide their activities. This quote was not written by Paul himself but it was sent out under his name.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. The saying is valid it is also can be you when you have a novice running the country making one mistake after another any move is the wrong move. Deputy Energy Secretary Daniel B. Poneman is working on the Obama administration initiative that would renew scientist exchanges between US nuclear weapons laboratories and Chinese nuclear facilities. The novice of this man is under the guise of promoting openness and transparency by China’s military about its secret, large-scale buildup of nuclear weapons. The history says this is a lot like an exchange program in the 1990s that sent US nuclear scientists to China and produced one of the worst cases of nuclear espionage. Secrets about every deployed warhead in the US arsenal were compromised, including the W-88 small nuclear warhead deployed on submarine-launched missiles. The initiative is part of the administration’s arms-control-centered security policies. Really can they be this stupid thinking that they can coax the reluctant Chinese communist leadership and its military into engaging the United States in strategic nuclear talks, something China so far has refused. Somehow we think they would pretend this is a good idea and they would be willing to have a scientist exchange as long as we go first.

You know it is getting good when candidates are going after each other’s family. The surprise is that it is Republican presidential New Hampshire leader Mitt Romney. The idea is that he claims he would deport President Barack Obama’s uncle, who police said was arrested in August for drunken driving near Boston and is an illegal immigrant. Onyango Obama is the illegal in question and it is not really turned into a national story. Onyango Obama is the 67-year-old half-brother of the president’s late father. His case is pending in Framingham District Court in Massachusetts. He was initially held without bail on a detainer from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials on allegations he violated an order to return Kenya issued twenty years ago. This came up on a local call in talk show that Mitt Romney as well as Scott Brown often calls into in the afternoon. We think this is a great way to get this story and the one about President Obama Aunt Zeituni Onyango who lived in public housing as an illegal immigrant then was given asylum. There is something going on here and we are not quite clear on if it is just a coincidence these two relatives have made headlines or why both are in Massachusetts. It does not matter only it shows the problem of illegal immigration and reckless use of the system that these people take advantage of at our expense.

When you need a Hail Mary you have to pull out all the stops. For the end of the road campaign of Representative Michele Bachmann it was that kind of a day. Iowa has never seen anything like this her bus is making 134 stops in one day. You would think she would want to do one more or less just get as much luck on her side but you have to say she is fearless. Is it working or will it work at Pizza Ranch in Rockwell City the Minnesota Republican had only 11 people waiting to listen. Most would think they were already voters her but could have been on the fence. If you are in Iowa you will hear her bus coming as it plays a continuous loop of Johnny Cash’s I’ve Been Everywhere on loudspeaker. It is not for effort and she has looped Iowa back and forth she is not getting any traction in the polls and there never seems to be a big turnout. You know the drill without a win in Iowa she is dead in New Hampshire a good turnout in both and she can create the kind of buzz that is needed to get back into this thing. The chances are slim and due to the lack a great person on the ticket for the GOP everyone still has a chance until we start counting some votes for real.

We love when a new poll brings more bad news for President Obama, It is even better when from his alma mater, Harvard University. The better part is it is the young people who our regular readers know we think are never the voting block they are supposed to be. But when you ask them a question on the street and the answer is in our favor it is a good day. The question brought back the response that, more younger voters, many of whom voted for President Barack Obama in 2008, think he will lose next year. There was 36 percent of these millennial voters, age 18-29, think Obama will lose; 30 percent say he will win. This is still Cambridge Massachusetts and a poll from John F. Kennedy School of Government it is a hot bed for lefty lunacy so even with those numbers, Mitt Romney was the best of the GOP candidates. These same people when you ask for a head-to-head vote they would choose Obama over Romney 37 percent to 26 percent. This has to be another warning sign and there have been many. So it bears the question does it even matter anymore? Why would President Obama care about a bunch hipsters in Cambridge now that he has made the big time does he not win this election the way Reingold, Pelosi, and Reid keep winning. The new base is the welfare state, unions, immigrants and state workers. The mean old GOP is coming to steal the golden layabout goose and President Obama will make sure the gravy keeps pouring. This is just fun stuff for us because when the Obamaites were yelling hope and change brave new world we tried to tell them it would not work. This means 36 percent of them finally figured it out and 30 percent are still in denial.
