If his past behavior is any guide, he’ll dance on George Bush’s political grave, take credit for things he did not accomplish, and fail to blame the group most responsible for the flooding damage: the Army Corps of Engineers.]]>Sun, 22 Aug 2010 11:00:00 -0400<![CDATA[Laura Curtis]]><![CDATA[Barack Obama]]><![CDATA[Unemployment]]><![CDATA[Wall Street Journal]]>https://hotair.com/laura/2010/08/22/go-golfing-mr-president__trashed-n171199<![CDATA[Obama isn’t letting the oil spill go to waste. Dissatisfied with how his repeated attempts at job killing drilling moratoriums are being smacked down in court, he’s recycled his coal plant bankruptcy plan and broadcast his intent to drown drillers in regulation. He’s also using it to promote his shiny new National Ocean Council.]]>Sun, 25 Jul 2010 10:52:00 -0400<![CDATA[Laura Curtis]]><![CDATA[Barack Obama]]><![CDATA[Democrats]]><![CDATA[Louisiana]]><![CDATA[National Public Radio]]><![CDATA[Oil and Gas Industry]]><![CDATA[Wall Street Journal]]>https://hotair.com/laura/2010/07/25/never-let-an-oil-spill-go-to-waste-create-a-new-government-agency__trashed-n170637<![CDATA[It hardly seems possible that with California&#8217;s irreligious reputation, a school district would choose to add the bible to its curriculum.  But the  Chino Valley School District has done so.]]>Wed, 07 Jul 2010 18:52:00 -0400<![CDATA[Laura Curtis]]><![CDATA[California]]><![CDATA[Islam]]><![CDATA[Israel]]><![CDATA[Middle East]]><![CDATA[Religion]]>https://hotair.com/laura/2010/07/07/teaching-the-bible-in-ca-public-schools__trashed-n170290<![CDATA[The Baton Rouge Tea Party folks did a fabulous job on the Independence Day Rally. In spite of the brain-melting heat there was a turnout of around 500 people, according to an unofficial police estimate. Meaning I asked a cop and he took a wild guess. There wasn&#8217;t a good angle to get the entire crowd, but here are a few photos so you can judge the crowd size for yourselves.  About 40 yards down from the steps was another crowd of 75-100 people in a grassy area with shade.  There were also some pretty good signs.]]>Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:42:00 -0400<![CDATA[Laura Curtis]]><![CDATA[Republicans]]><![CDATA[tea party]]>https://hotair.com/laura/2009/07/06/baton-rouge-independence-day-tea-party__trashed-n162996<![CDATA[It&#8217;s not a trend yet, but here&#8217;s more faux-moderation in line with what President Obama just treated us to in his Notre Dame speech. In It&#8217;s Time to Find Common Ground on Sex Newsweek&#8217;s Lisa Miller analyzes President Obama&#8217;s speech on abortion and concludes that it was more about sex than it was abortion. I believe she&#8217;s correct about that, and clearly tries to be evenhanded in this article. But she&#8217;s incapable or unwilling to really understand the views of those of us who oppose abortion.
