Time for Thorns

If I said Democrats who support banning the interstate travel of circus animals claim the lack of animals will force circuses  to hire more people,  would you believe me?

Sen. Harry Reid says  public sector jobs  are more important than those in the private sector.   He really believes that  – his is one of them!

Cam Cardow has drawn  a wonderful cartoon  for us.

Michael Barone has  the best overview  of  the campaign speech His Oneness delivered to Congress last night.

Associated Press has already determined Obama’s claim that everything is paid  for is inaccurate,  which Rep.  Jeb Hensarling obviously agrees  with.    Alabama Sen.  Jeff Sessions said the speech  made a mockery  of the debt deal,  and Victor Davis Hanson characterized  it as stale,  which of course it was since it offered nothing new and little actually helpful.   Hanson was also correct in what His Oneness  would not say.

An economist delivers the most  scathing comments.

Rep. Maxine Waters  has it right,  though of course she is completely wrong in thinking that government spending, which worked so brilliantly last time around is any sort of solution to the problem.

Bob Englehart has a striking  political cartoon  for us.

When you’re through chuckling,  or swearing,  at that,  read Joseph Lawler’s  dismissal of  the promised jobs ideas of His Oneness.

Peter Kirsanow has some useful questions for His Oneness as he begins his magical mad bus tour to show he can  pivot to jobs.

This cartoon  illustrates the abject failure.

Yeah,  the price of a gallon of gasoline  has DOUBLED under the regime of His Oneness.    The last sentence of this little piece by James Robbins is killer good.

The new jobs report has  some good news,  but also carries a warning on inflation,  despite the assurances of the Obama Administration that there is no risk.   The economic  recovery still isn’t much of one.

And His Oneness wants to install another crony who doesn’t understand economics,  much less budgeting,  at the  Office of Management and Budget.   Do watch Alabama’s Sen. Jeff Sessions perform a masterful exposition of all the knowledge Heather Higginbottom lacks.

Having spent  half his presidency outside of DC,  His Oneness now wants to spend more time away  — so he can claim to be an outsider?

He probably has more incentive to stay away now that DNC chairman Tim Kaine is on  tape admitting His Oneness didn’t focus on jobs the first two years because he was too busy with his own priorities.
