Lying Liars Department: Harry Reid: "I had nothing to do with bad economy."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, facing a tough re-election bid in one of the states hardest hit by the recession, Nevada, said today that the economic downturn was not his fault. "I had nothing to do with the massive foreclosures here," Reid said during an appearance on the ABC News/Washington Post "Top Line" program, adding that he also had no part in contributing to the state's dismal unemployment figures. Story + Video We wonder if Reid will be attending the giant White House Dance Party!
 Michelle Obama Will Host White House Dance Party!
The stately White House East Room, home to many a bill signing and ceremonial gathering, becomes a stage Tuesday for pirouettes, jetes, gravity-defying leaps and maybe even some bumps and grinds as Michelle Obama inaugurates a new dance series. With the economy in the tank and getting worse, hosting dance parties probably isn't the best idea. But this is just the latest in a long line of White House partying - McCartney, country night, jazz night, Latin American night. For an administration supposedly concerned about Americans and their financial plight, the Obama's actions certainly don't show it. [4]
Another Proposal From Obama to Throw Your Money Down the Drain: Obama talks tax cuts, but he wants to raise the marginal income taxes that small business owners pay and then give them back some of that money only if they make business decisions that his administration approves of.

From the Liberal stupidity department: Let's see if we get this straight...we cannot drill for oil in the Gulf of Mexico due to a presidential order, but we can give Mexico nearly $2 billion of our tax dollars so they can drill for oil in the gulf, and then spend more money to buy that oil from them...but it's still much cheaper to do the drilling ourselves![7]
Will the Tea Party Express run its record of upsets to 4-for-4?: It begins supporting Christine O'Donnell and she quickly stuns liberals by pulling closer to the entrenched RINO Mike Castle in the Delaware primary for Biden's former U.S. Senate. O'Donnell is a former director of Birthright, a pro-life pregnancy center, while Castle seems just fine with more abortions.

United Nations Wants Control of World's Agenda. After a year of setbacks, U.N. Secretary General Ban ki-Moon and his top lieutenants spend their weekend at a remote retreat, discussing ways to put their organization in charge of the world's agenda:
- How to restore “climate change” as a top global priority after the fiasco of last year’s Copenhagen summit;
- How to continue to try to make global redistribution of wealth the real basis of that climate agenda, and widen the discussion further to encompass the idea of “global public goods”;
- How to keep growing U.N. peacekeeping efforts into missions involved in the police, courts, legal systems and other aspects of strife-torn countries; [10]

How Things Change Department: California Senate race, Carly Fiorina (R) 48%, Barbara Boxer (D) 47%. Results before leaners are added show Fiorina with a 47% to 42% lead over Boxer. Two weeks ago, the candidates were in a virtual tie when voters were asked their initial preference. That a Conservative candidate like Fiorina would be even or slightly ahead of the Liberal Boxer in left-leaning California, is yet another example of Obamageddon, where the hapless Barack Obama is dragging down Democrat candidates nationwide.
