We've seen enough Obama speeches to realize that the calm, charismatic, clear-spoken, smooth, and articulate politician that left-wing activists and media members want to portray is nothing of the sort. Take Obama's teleprompter away, and out come the ums and errs. But, because it's Obama, his rabid followers are full of excuses: he can't remember everything, he gives so many speeches, the teleprompter is just like having note cards. Blah, blah, blah.

However, replace the word Obama with the word Palin -- as in former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- and the left wingers sing a different tune. It's ok for Obama to read word for word from a teleprompter, but heaven help us if Sarah Palin uses note cards during the speech! But Palin had the last laugh, and the left ends up looking stupid and hypocritical. Nice job!

It's simply unbelievable what the Democrats are doing in Washington. Do they really have that little respect for the American people? By a margin of 217-212, the House of Representatives voted to raise the federal debt limit by $1.9 trillion.

This vote, coupled with the Senate's 60-40 vote last month to do the same, the overall debt ceiling will rise to $14.3 trillion. This is the highest amount of debt the United States has ever carried! Just look at Obama's budget that he just sent to Congress. A full one-third of it will be paid for with funds we don't have!

There are many of us, myself included, who forecast the end of the Republican Revolution. The writing was on the wall. Yes, there was corruption and pandering and other nastiness of Washington that began to wear thin on the American public. But more than any of that, the item that showed conservatives that the days of Republican control would soon be over was spending. Big government spending.

Welcome to hope and change. A new era. A "transformed" America. In Obama's America, not only does the spending increase at record levels, but the taxes are coming... like a snowball rolling downhill. With his new budget proposal, Obama picks up where he left off after his first year, and the losers are the American people.

Barack Obama has been on television so many times that it makes my head spin. From his speeches to Congress to his numerous press conferences, I just can't take it. Most of the time, I simply read through the transcript later so that I can avoid all the smugness and arrogance. However, on Wednesday night, I decided to watch Obama's State of the Union address live. Boy, was that a mistake!

Not only was Obama as narcissistic as ever, the speech was nothing like some pundits were predicting. Having faced stunning gubernatorial losses in Virginia and New Jersey and then the historical Scott Brown Senate victory in Massachusetts, those "in the know" speculated that Obama would move toward the middle. Wrong! The speech was the same old socialist rhetoric topped with a direct confrontation with members of the Supreme Court. There was no class at all... but should I have expected anything else?

The career of University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is one of legend. Not only did he win the Heisman Trophy, college football's highest honor, as a sophomore, he was in the running for it during his junior and senior years as well. He led the Gators to two national championships and has displayed honor and integrity at every turn.

But all of his accomplishments and all of his success could have been wiped out completely had Tim's mother Pam Tebow not chosen life. During a mission trip, an infection led doctors to recommend that Pam Tebow have an abortion to avoid the risk of her own death during childbirth. She chose life, and now her story will be told in the form of a Super Bowl ad. Rather than celebrating the ad as a "success" story, some so-called women's groups are blasting the ad and urging CBS to ban it.

Last week, Scott Brown showed that running a campaign built on conservative principles could not only win, but it could win in the bluest of blue states. His platform keyed in on the frustration felt by Tea Party activists that the federal government is out of control. He made Barack Obama and left-wing policies his targets, and he won.

But what does it mean for the future? The answer is simple; it means that the so-called Republicans in Name Only (RINOs) should beware. Actually, any Washington incumbent should probably be sleeping with one eye open as we move into the primary election season, but those Republicans who put politics over principle and helped pave the way to massive spending should be particularly troubled. In order to truly change Washington, there needs to be a fresh approach. You can't do that with stale leaders.

He did it! Massachusetts State Sen. Scott Brown did what no one thought possible. On Tuesday night, Brown defeated Democrat opponent Martha Coakley to win the special election for the Senate seat formerly held by the late Ted Kennedy.

The victory was not only a nuclear bomb blast to the perfect, government-controlled world envisioned by Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi, but it was also a wake-up call to the Republican Party. Brown's campaign was a blueprint in a "blue" state. It's a blueprint that, if followed, could lead to dramatic victories in 2010 and beyond.

Barack Obama and the Democrats in Washington are beginning to think the unthinkable. In the race to fill the Massachusetts Senate seat that was held by Ted Kennedy for decades, none of them thought that a Republican could possibly win. Think again!

With State Sen. Scott Brown surging in the polls, Obama and company are in panic mode. What happens if Brown actually wins? What happens to the health care bill? What happens to their filibuster-proof Senate? All of these questions have moved from the theoretical to the possible, and Obama doesn't like it at all. That is why the Democrats are pulling out all the stops in order to put their candidate over the top. If Brown does win, look for things to get very ugly in Washington.

It only took a few short months of complete Democrat control of Washington for the American people to realize that they made a terrible mistake. Yes, the Republicans currently in office had gone astray. But rather than working at the grassroots and primary level to get better Republicans, voters turned to the Democrats. And look what we are getting... massive deficits... government control of banks, automobile companies, and quite possibly the health care industry. More taxes and less power for each and every American.

That's what the Democrats want to deliver, but the American people have had enough. With the election of Republican governors in New Jersey and Virginia just a few months ago, voters were already sending a message. However, that message is nothing compared to what's happening now. In a race for the Massachusetts Senate seat that was held by Edward Kennedy, Republican Scott Brown is not only making it a race, but he can actually win!

Ok, class... today's lesson will be on mathematics. No moans and groans from the audience, please. This is an exciting, "new" math. We'll call it Obama's Fuzzy Math or OFM.

OFM is quite fascinating. In most math problems if you subtract from a number, the result is a smaller number. But not with OFM. Using Obama's system, as more people lose their jobs -- hundreds of thousands every month -- the number of jobs created or saved (whatever that means) has actually gone up. It's the new subtraction. But, of course, it doesn't add up.
