POPSWhere is Obama? It is much easier to talk to selectively talk to friends in the media, than to hold a full press conference. However, being open means talking to the entire press pool.

POPSObama Could Dump Biden for Clinton as VP in 2012by
merrie Yesterday 10:43 PM

..... of Clinton admirers, give Obama more of a pragmatic luster, and shunt the gaffe-prone Biden aside. And it would theoretically discourage Clinton, a former senator from New York, from challenging Obama in the 2012 primaries, Democratic insiders say, because as vice president she would be considered Obama's heir for 2016. Clinton would be 69 that year, the same age as Ronald Reagan when he won the presidency in 1980. As for Clinton, she has said that she doesn't plan to serve as secretary of state longer than four years, but so far she has expressed no interest in another presidential run. She was the favorite for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 but lost to Obama after a long series of primaries and caucuses.A White House strategist attributed the speculation about Biden and Clinton to "cocktail party chatter" and said Obama is "very pleased" with Biden's job performance. http://www.usnews.com

POPSObama Sets Trap for Republicans No matter what the Democrats say to the Republicans or anything that they try to put in there, it would only be a lie. They would sneak things in that none of us want. I believe we should wait until all of them are voted out. We get people in there who care about America and believe in the Constitution and then we can listen to them about health care. RUSH: Absolutely right. Absolutely right. The Republicans ought not get suckered by this and go anywhere near it. CALLER: Say "no!" RUSH: Say "hell, no!"

POPSObama's First Year: By the Numbers "Nothing special," said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs when asked what President Obama is doing today to mark the end of his 1st year in office and the start of his 2nd. (at right, President Obama takes the oath of office, Jan. 20, 2009.) "It's an anniversary of types, but I don't see that a lot of people are ultimately focused on marking the first year," said Gibbs at yesterday's daily press briefing. He said the White House already had its fill of calendar anniversaries: the first 100 days; 200 days, six months; a year after the election. Posted by Mark Knoller http://www.cbsnews.com

Even his address at the National Prayer Breakfast last week and other faith-matters about the White House are not beyond constant scrutiny and analysis.

POPSUnsustainable ....... by Mark Steyn the State of the Union than any of the dreary 90-minute sludge he paid his speechwriters for, let us consider it: Is America a Corpseman walking? Well, we’re getting there. National Review ’s Jim Geraghty sums up Obama’s America thus: “Unsustainable is the new normal.” Indeed. The other day, Douglas Elmendorf, director of the Congressional Budget Office, described current deficits as “unsustainable.” So let’s make them even more so. The president tells us, with a straight face, that his grossly irresponsible profligate wastrel of a predecessor took the federal budget on an eight-year joyride, so the only way his sober, fiscally prudent successor can get things under control is to grab the throttle and crank it up to what Mel Brooks in Spaceballs (which seems the appropriate comparison) called “Ludicrous Speed.” Obama’s spending proposes to take the average Bush deficit for the years 2001– 2008, and double it, all the way to 2020.

POPSObama's Stunning Admission Obama admits Dems "snuck in" health care provisions Posted by Tom Bevan So it's a bit of shock to find out now - from the President himself, no less - that one or both of the bills that passed Congress late last year (the House passed its version in late November, the Senate on Christmas Eve Day) contained language that would have violated this pledge. If we take this statement at face value, President Obama is admitting the the health care bills passed by either the House or Senate (or both) contained provisions which were "snuck in" - presumably by Democratic members and perhaps on behalf of certain lobbyists - that would have in fact prevented people from keeping their current insurance and/or choosing the doctor they want.

POPSAmerica Rising Of course, every economist and statistician I have talked to on air says the stats don’t exist and this statement in most part is a fabrication. The Congressional Budget office said there were only 600,000-1.6 million of potentially created jobs. It said it was impossible to determine how many of those jobs could have existed without the stimulus package. Another lie Obama smoothly threw out was about the White House and Congress doing their work openly as the people deserve. What a bunch of bull rot! Obama promised if you remember that the health care negotiations for health care legislation would be aired openly on C-SPAN, so the folks could see what was going on and how it affected them. WRONG. Instead, most has been done behind closed doors. Obama declared in his speech that he and his staff excluded lobbyists from policy-making jobs or seats on federal boards and commissions. However, once again this was a proven lie. http://bit.ly/UJs5y http://teaparty.org

POPSObama Has No Choice But to be Pro-Small Business Well, actually he does have a choice but not if he wants his approval rating to go up. And the ONLY reason he is finally doing SOMETHING for the Americans that pay his salary is because the Democrats no longer have control. He should have never given ANY money to Wall Street and should have put ALL the TARP money into small businesses to begin with. Because you see, instead of creating millions of jobs, he rewarded a few CEO's with fat bonuses (and I don't believe for a second he didn't know they would turn the TARP into bonuses) and he maybe saved a few thousand jobs. But since more Americans have lost their jobs since, or the fact that people are not spending because of this economy, within six months those few thousand, will probably lose their jobs after all. Anyway, here's where Obama is "hoping" to win points with the Independents he pissed off:

POPSCan the Democrats Govern? Or Is Congress Crippled?
Congress may be crippled. In fact, much of the way they work -- besides all taking place in a swamp of corrupting money -- appears more set up to PREVENT things from happening than facilitate any legislation. This latest example is now coming into focus. Somehow one guy, a Republican Senator, is able to single-handedly stop all of President Obama's nominations for important jobs. No wonder so many things get stalled or killed if there are all these ways the will of the majority can be frustrated. The will of the majority may not always be ideal but better than rule by warlords, military dictators or thug mobs. But we better starting using it. President Obama has brains, guts and integrity. Now we want to see results. Things like what this Senator Shelby is doing must be overcome. Changes to improve health care must be made. Other promises lived up to. If the right wing wackos regain control, I fear we'll be in for the worst misrule and poor governance we coul

POPSBurried wearing an Obama T-Shirt? It's all about him I got a letter -- I got a note today from one of my staff -- they forwarded it to me -- from a woman in St. Louis who had been part of our campaign, very active, who had passed away from breast cancer. She didn't have insurance. She couldn't afford it, so she had put off having the kind of exams that she needed. And she had fought a tough battle for four years. All through the campaign she was fighting it, but finally she succumbed to it. And she insisted she's going to be buried in an Obama t-shirt. Many observers have noted that the president often seems extraordinarily self-referential. It's all about him, they say. But even those critics might be a little taken aback by the "buried in an Obama t-shirt" remark. Is it really that much about him?

POPSObama’s Communist Mentor In his books, Obama admits attending "socialist conferences" and coming into contact with Marxist literature. But he ridicules the charge of being a "hard-core academic Marxist," which was made by his colorful and outspoken 2004 U.S. Senate opponent, Republican Alan Keyes.

POPSObama About to Raise Taxes on 95% of All Americans
The targeted tax provisions were enacted under the Bush administration's Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. Among other things, the law lowered individual tax rates, slashed taxes on capital gains and dividends, and steadily scaled back the estate tax to zero in 2010. If the provisions are allowed to expire on December 31, the top-tier personal income tax rate will rise to 39.6 percent from 35 percent. But lower-income families will pay more as well: the 25 percent tax bracket will revert back to 28 percent; the 28 percent bracket will increase to 31 percent; and the 33 percent bracket will increase to 36 percent. The special 10 percent bracket is eliminated. Investors will pay more on their earnings next year as well, with the tax on dividends jumping to 39.6 percent from 15 percent and the capital-gains tax increasing to 20 percent from 15 percent. The estate tax is eliminated this year, but it will return in 2011 --

POPS The Nuclear Bluff Obama budget exposes nuclear lie http://michellemalkin.com In his State of the Union Address, President Obama purported to reach across the aisle by endorsing a “new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants”…before pushing cap and trade. The nearly $4 trillion budget he released today exposes his nuclear lie. President Barack Obama will propose eliminating funding for the Yucca Mountain project in a new budget he will submit to Congress on Monday, according to Nevada lawmakers who were notified over the weekend. It zeroes out funds for the besieged Yucca Mountain nuclear storage facility in Nevada " one of the few, prominent Obama campaign pledges that he looks like he’s actually fulfilling: Following the State of the Union, in a conference call with reporters on the same day the nuclear financing plan was unveiled, Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the creation of a special panel to find a solution for storing nuclear waste.
