“Now, signs point to a risk of commerce slowing and growth stagnating throughout the year, a year that President Obama and others hoped would be the long-awaited breakout for the still-damaged U.S. economy.”
Still over-regulated and over-taxed, would be more like it. New business creation has been negative since 2009 when our Barry Hussein was sworn in.
It’s been half a century since a Democrat president believed in tax cuts and he (JFK) was murdered.

Of course she also has the snooze media on her side and he didn’t. Which makes all the difference in a country (ours) without much of an independent news media.
Not that they don’t claim to be independent and objective but look at the difference between what they did to him over his 18 erased minutes of chat and how indifferent they are to her erasure of four years worth of email.
OTOH, that deleted email can be recovered… If anyone cares to try. Unless she also destroyed the hard-drive/server.

Bundle up or you’ll catch your death, grandmother used to say in the winter.
Mr. B. and his cronies prefer smug. And shorts and tee-shirts, whatever the temp. He already has a stuffed sinus and runny nose. Proof, once again, of the stupidity of youth.
Comes now research showing that, yes, indeed, when you get cold you are more receptive to infection by the rhinoviruses that cause the common cold.
“The colder we get, the easier it is for the rhinovirus to trounce us into sniffling, sneezing defeat.” Could be that’s why it’s called a “cold.” Ya think?
Which, nowadays, is mostly a nuisance, unless it morphs into the flu or pneumonia. Whereas, in grandma’s pre-antibiotic days of mainly empirical research, it could lead straight to the death-bed.

Concerned that your favorite president chose not to go nor to send an emissary to the world leader march in Paris?
Why should he protest the slaying of something whose behavior he’d already condemned back in 2012 to the UN: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
Et tu Charlie.
UPDATE: It certainly was a very political political march/show.
I’m with JimCarr28, a commenter at Instapundit, who says Islamic State makes him nostalgic for napalm. Not to mention the Paris magazine attack and subsequent Jewish hostage-takings.
Because “people on fire tend to be too occupied to cause their neighbors much trouble.”
So much cheaper than multi-pound bombs, too, and oh, so much more effective on the target and its audience.
Indeed, why do we shelve our best weaponry, just when we really need it?

Not only are the feds falling all over themselves to spend hundreds of millions on the latest wave of illegal immigrants, but they’re allowing the bucks to be administered by Christian groups, specifically Baptists and Catholics.
I can hear the howling now from the Democrat news media if the Republicans were doing this. But of course in a sense they are. The GOP establishment is just as eager as the Democrats to defy public opinion when it comes to illegals.
Advice to victims of the Democrat economy: Get yourself and your kids down to Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio or Fort Sill in Lawton, Oklahoma, forget you speak English, and cash in on the goodies.
Learning to say “I will vote Democrat” in Spanish will be a big help.

And probably no need to impeach, either, despite what I said earlier. The Worm’s big amnesty decree was a lot less than advertised, which is typical of him and his administration.
“Mass amnesty would be unfair,” Obama said during the primetime address.
Also unconstitutional. Even his temporary delay of deportations for an unspecified number of illegals will likely be overturned by the courts anyhow. Meanwhile it does little to add to the tax burden of the rest of us. Except in Texas where a proposed lawsuit may take care of our border expenses eventually.
Not all agree: Obama’s Amnesty Order Harms Jobs, Schools, Health and Simple Fairness, Black Activists Say. I’m sure some legal aliens would agree.
Still, I think former Reagan advisor and scifi author Jerry Pournelle has it:
“This is not a time to panic. The President has exceeded his authority, but not in a catastrophic way. He has issued a decree that states that it is reversible. Some of his legal people have asserted that he has more powers he hasn’t used yet, but for the moment he has done nothing that he could not have done, tediously, by issuing 5 million pardons….
“Now, we hope, some sense will settle into the Congress and result in some realistic approach to the problem of ten to the seventh [power] illegal aliens unlawfully present within our borders. We would deal with an invading army; surely we can deal with this?”
If they were all armed and belligerent, sure, but for the most part they’re peaceful and hard-working. More so than some black and white citizens, though the asians still put all of us to shame. The only real complaint I have is that old canard about how they’re doing the work Americans won’t do, which is b.s. considering a lot of the work is skilled construction. But if you take that to mean voting Democrat, then it’s a pretty good joke. Until they do it.
I still like Instapundit’s idea: “You know, if one of the GOP big-money donors — I’m looking at you, Sheldon Adelson — is smart, he’ll fund a welcome-wagon operation in swing states. Reach out to these newly-amnestied immigrants, help them get jobs, connect them with social services, offer them American civics education to help integrate, register them Republican. . . .”
Face the inevitable and beat the Dumbos at their own game. Just don’t turn into full-throttle McCain-Romney RINOs, please.
UPDATE: This makes perfect sense. Which, of course, is why it will be ignored.
