Obviously, the fifteen frivolous ethics violation charges, all dismissed, were more than beginning to take their toll on her, her family, and becoming a distraction from her ability to effectively govern the State. She did mention in her speech that she had personally incurred over $500,000 in legal bills, "just to set the record straight," and she had to be wondering if the onslaught of attacks from her political opponents would ever stop.

"WASILLA, Alaska (AP) - Spokesman: Sarah Palin is resigning as Alaska governor on July 26."

The President of the United States can do better than a guy who sounds like the high water mark of his communications career was finishing third-place in the 1977 southwest Alabama regional high school debate competition.

President Barack Obama (AP Photo) (CNSNews.com) – The ousted inspector general who reported that his office found misuse of AmeriCorps funds granted to a charity run by a political ally of President Barack Obama sees an assault on the institution of government watchdogs, noting that besides himself, the inspectors general in both the Treasury Department and the International Trade Commission (ITC) have faced reported hurdles in doing their jobs. He says he wants Congress to hold a hearing on his firing. “I certainly don’t know the facts about any of the other IGs. But I don’t think you can find in the history of IGs such an administration attack on...

With Democrats Like Him, Who Needs Dictators? MIAMI--We expected broken promises. But the gap between the soaring expectations that accompanied Barack Obama's inauguration and his wretched performance is the broadest such chasm in recent historical memory. This guy makes Bill Clinton look like a paragon of integrity and follow-through. From healthcare to torture to the economy to war, Obama has reneged on pledges real and implied. So timid and so owned is he that he trembles in fear of offending, of all things, the government of Turkey. Obama has officially reneged on his campaign promise to acknowledge the Armenian genocide....

Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi is losing the credibility battle, but that's not all she stands to lose -- her speakership is on the line. "We were not, I repeat, were not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used," Pelosi emphatically told the American people on April 23. Three weeks later when that statement unraveled, Pelosi's behavior became bizarre, insisting her congressional colleagues, the director of the CIA and government personnel are all lying.while only she is telling the truth. "They mislead us all the time," she said referring to...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi learned in early 2003 that the Bush administration was waterboarding terror detainees but didn’t protest directly out of respect for “appropriate” legislative channels, a person familiar with the situation said Monday.

SING-ALONG: You Are the Woman

In light of the leftwing whackjobs' anger with Speaker Pelosi, shortly before 5pm today, I phoned the Speaker's district office in San Francisco. Identifying myself as writing a story for the website "freerepublic," I asked, "In light of some of some of the calls for resignation on various blogs and websites over the Speaker's knowledge about waterboarding, can the Speaker confirm or deny any intent to resign her position?" The female hack who answered the phone wasn't particular appreciative of the question and directed me to speaker.gov. "No direct comments?" No -- go to speaker.gov.........click. For your amusement, and this...

AXcess News) New York - Congresswoman Mary Fallin (R-OK) said Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is "out of touch with mainstream America" if she believes that returning war veterans and people who believe in the Second Amendment pose a terrorism threat to the nation. "Like most Oklahomans I was amazed at her statements and actions this week," Fallin said. "First she approved a report that implied members of the armed forces returning from combat would follow in the footsteps of Timothy McVeigh. Then she insulted our friends in Canada by falsely claiming the 9/11 terrorists came from there. Is this...

To the American People, It is with great sadness; remorse and regret that I had my teleprompter compose this message for you today. I have failed as a President. I have no choice but to admit that. I have just completed my first 100 days in office and I have done nothing but weaken and demean the office of the President and this nation. This office was once a sacred place, a place full of rich and storied history and I have turned it into a laughing stock, a joke and a boil on the behind of this nation. President...

Gov. Quinn this morning called on his good friend Roland Burris to resign his U.S Senate seat.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – U.S. Sen. Roland Burris has acknowledged trying to raise money for former Gov. Rod Blagojevich before being appointed to the Senate.

Here is a message forwarded to me. Why am I not surprised? Mr. Obama, It is clear that you are irresponsible. While the rest of the country is tightening their belts, you turn up the thermostat in the White House - on our dime. When things go wrong around you, you throw your people under the bus instead of taking responsibility for your own failures. It is clear that you are incompetent. Instead of seriously considering every option, you automatically rule out useful and valid tools for managing the current financial crisis, like tax cuts which you say have failed...

Have we seen anything in the MSM about pressure on Rahm Emanuel to resign? Nothing from the L.A. Times. Or the New York Times. But the U.K. and Australian papers often print stories their liberal American cousins will not. And they think something is afoot. More . . .

Obama announced on Thursday that his resignation from the U.S. Senate is official as of Sunday. Vice president-elect Joe Biden, who was also re-elected in Delaware to his Senate seat on November 4, told an interviewer several weeks ago that he would resign when he's sworn in as vice president in January.
