The Obama Brand

By: Laura Adelmann
First, ask yourself, what other President has had a logo? A logo that is included on his own personal basketballs? How about the vanity leash that dog Bo is sporting? He’s got his own promotional team in Hollywood. Obama is not just a President, he’s a brand.
Now he’s taking that brand [...]

Your Cash Is Buying Those Clunkers

By: Laura Adelmann
It seems like a great plan, right? Get people to buy new cars by offering a rebate if they buy a car with better gas mileage than their old car. People spend money and the car industry gains. The government probably hopes you’ll buy a GM, of course. But, [...]

That Pesky Public Option

By Laura Adelmann
The Democrats are again steamrolling their agenda through Congress. Whether the vote takes place this week or after the August recess, it is likely that the Democrats’ plan for healthcare reform will include a public option or government run insurance program intended to compete with private insurance. Underestimating the damage [...]

Either You Are With Us…

the more they stay the same. I think Arlen Specter has learned a valuable lesson. He learned that calling himself a Democrat hasn’t improved his ability to negotiate a compromise on the Employee Free Choice Act or Card Check. I just have to wonder how long it will [...]

A Golden Opportunity

By: Laura Adelmann
In fumbling through what he thought would be a slam dunk ad for his healthcare proposals, Barack Obama has presented us with a golden opportunity. He had, as Ed Morrissey on Hotair.com labeled it, a “Dukakis Moment.” He has given us his true opinion of his own healthcare plan. Dr. [...]

ACORN: Don’t You Forget About Me

By: Laura Adelmann

Our friends at ACORN have decided to change their name to the much less memorable name of Community Organizations International. It seems that ACORN feels that it has somehow acquired a bad reputation. I can’t imagine how that has happened. It couldn’t possibly be the 14 states where voter registration fraud has been investigated? It couldn’t be financial mismanagement or embezzlement? How about the lawsuits against whistleblowers and those shining the light on ACORN’s fraud? ACORN is trying to make people forget their actions so they can turn around and do it all again. Don’t let them slip between the cracks. Remember the name and remind others that Community Organizations International=ACORN every chance you get or we’ll be repeating this same game in 2012.

What happened to the values of working hard and saving, starter homes and delayed gratification? It seems they’ve disappeared from [...]

To Boldy Go?

By: Laura Adelmann
What true sci-fi geek can resist a good Star Trek metaphor? Not this geek. I’ve got two. First, I was eavesdropping the other day at lunch and some folks were discussing the new Star Trek movie. This will include major sp
oilers, so beware! They commented that the movie’s alteration of the original Star [...]
