Obama Meeting With Bono While Gulf Oil Spills
By James Hirsen
Even The New York Times is criticizing President Obama for the White House’s slow response to the crisis in the Gulf Coast. Hey, the president was busy. He was having an Oval Office meeting with U2 lead singer Bono. The White House confirmed that the rock star met with Obama and members of his national security staff to address the concern of U.S. foreign aid and the use of technology to increase economic growth in Africa.
But as one of our key sources of domestic oil here in the U.S. was spilling into the ocean, threatening the precious environment, vital industries and already floundering economy, it is astonishing that Obama would be sitting around chitchatting with the Irish rocker about anything. He should have been devoting every available moment he had to try to avert, or at least mitigate, the catastrophic circumstances we now must suffer through.

From Bullish to Bearish in a Flash!
The stock market went from bullish to bearish in a flash! The Dow was down about 1,000 points at one point during the trading day, closing at about 347 off for the day.

Fear that the problems of Greece will spread to Europe and to the rest of the world, including America. Ultimately, it’s really a fear that welfare state socialism will lead to economic bankruptcy. In my book, America’s Economic War, I wrote several times that socialism always leads to economic bankruptcy. [more...]

By Joy Tiz
BP, whose blown oil rig is currently spewing millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico has given more than $3.5 million to federal candidates over the past 20 years. The number one recipient of their largesse – Barack Obama. You remember him, the demonizer of oil companies who would never, ever take money from one of those evil cabals. [more...]
Is Osama Bin Laden Enjoying a Safe Haven in Iran?
By Ryan Mauro
The average commentator thinks that Osama bin Laden’s trail has gone cold and that there is no credible eyewitness testimony as to where he is located. The only available public testimony is that a member of the Taliban arrested in Pakistan claims his colleague met bin Laden in Afghanistan in the first two months of 2009 – important information, but second-hand and unverifiable. The truth is that there have been credible leads, and these leads point to Iran. [more...]
