The liberal left is completely outraged that the president would break one of his campaign promises (to them) and compromise with the GOP on extending the current tax rates without raising taxes on high-income earners.

Getting Away: Part 2 – Winter Getaway
If you are giving any thought to battling the TSA at U.S. airport security so you can head to the Caribbean this winter, I have a better idea. Instead, make a reservation at the nicest resort in the Florida Keys. For my 70th birthday, Debbie surprised me with a stay at Westin’s Sunset Key Guest […]

Bush Tax Cuts to be Extended
Businesses and individuals can finally start to settle in and make plans for the next two years.

On to Smaller Things
Now that the president has totally altered America’s healthcare system, he is on to other liberal wishlist items that have been on the backburner. First among them is gun control. The president has promised time and again that he isn’t coming after anyone’s guns, but he is attempting to install rabidly anti-gun officials in powerful […]
Podesta Calls out the Goon Squad
John Podesta, head of the Center for American Progress and Obama advisor wants the president to use executive orders to implement his agenda.
