good start ... Obama has broke from the gate and ended up driving in the stupid lane.

What did people expect from a street walker with a wafer thin resume?

Surely, if the tax code is too confusing for the Treasury secretary and former Senate majority leader — to say nothing of House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel, who also has unpaid tax problems — it is past time to get out the chain saw.

I'm getting tired of this portrayal of the tax code being too complicated for these Washingon insiders. Heck, these guys wrote these tax laws. They should be very careful in paying their taxes, use professional tax preparers, and maybe even overpay, so that they are above reproach. And let's be clear: there are not tax 'errors', this is tax evasion. Not paying payroll tax for a domestic employee, or a chauffer is not a stupid little mistake. Not paying "both sides" of your FICA tax when you are self-employed is not "a simple oversight" when you are cautioned about it.

Zoe Baird & Kimba Wood happened back in 1993. It's 16 years later & the Washington types still aren't paying the "nanny tax"? Who is fooling who here?

Did I hear correctly on Mark Steyn’s show today that Obama was tired of being in the White House so he went to read to second graders?

You heard correctly, it was posted here yesterday and it was on Drudge’s site with a picture of Michelle and Obama at a school.

Amazing, isn't it? Less than 2 weeks into the Presidency gig and he and Michelle have to get out of the White House. I'd like them to get out of it permanently. Unfortunately that would bring the specter of a Biden Presidency and a Hillary! VP. There are no good choices there.

Won’t bring a camera in to video his retaking of the oath of office (without the BIBLE).

I am beyond angry today at all the conservatives who stayed home and allowed this man to be elected.
