President Obama has been on the stump trying to cobble together a coalition that will help keep him in the White House. It matters little what damage his actions might do to America, he has bigger plans and needs more “flexibility” to get them done.

Obama Helps Inflate the Next Bubble to get Reelected

Tim Bishop Still Doesn’t Get It
by Bill O'Connell on April 17, 2012
I just got my latest e-mail update from Congressman Tim Bishop and one cannot help but just shake his head. He leads off by mentioning his bogus survey, and tells the reader how (surprise!) people are concerned about taxes. Of course that is when Tim Bishop loses his way again.
Tim Bishop’s Silly Survey
by Bill O'Connell on March 2, 2012
I just got a survey request from my Congressman Tim Bishop. I started to fill it out but it was limited in its responses. Limited to what could easily be tabulated and put into a self-serving graph, but the same limited responses also spoke volumes.
Tim Bishop Bleats about Robbing Social Security as a Great Idea
by Bill O'Connell on February 20, 2012
Congress passed yet another extension of the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits. The Republicans did it to take the political issue off the table for the election. Tim Bishop and the Democrats passed it because they think it is good governing.

What’s the Buffett Rule on Spending and Investing?
by Bill O'Connell on January 27, 2012
President Obama, always on the campaign trail, is now on the road trying to explain why his class warfare strategy is not class warfare. In his State of the Union address, he once again invoked the “Buffett Rule”, which is little more than a fig leaf to allow Obama to raise taxes. But what about some other “Buffett Rules”?
Rick Santorum. What Now?
by Bill O'Connell on January 4, 2012
Rick Santorum timed the wave perfectly and rode it to within eight votes of Romney in the Iowa caucuses. Whether it was timing or real support is not certain, but where does he go from here, and I don’t mean geographically?
Tim Bishop Doesn’t Worry About Paying for Payroll Tax Holiday
by Bill O'Connell on December 30, 2011
In his recent telephone town hall meeting, Tim Bishop expressed his support for the continued payroll tax holiday but making it clear that it would have no impact on the Social Security Trust Fund. Money for Social Security would continue to go into the trust fund from other sources. What other sources you might ask? I may have an answer for you.
Obama: The Payroll Tax Cut and Taxing the Rich
by Bill O'Connell on December 11, 2011
With the economy in shambles and his campaign sound bites and early interviews as president coming back to haunt him, President Obama has ramped up the class warfare rhetoric. Let’s put the lie to these strategies.
