Barack Obama has made a serious of statements recently which show an appalling ignorance of history and the world. He recently spoke about “the bomb” being dropped on Pearl Harbor. Before that, in May, Obama talked about the Iraq war sucking up Arabic translators need in Afghanistan (which is a non-Arabic nation in which the people speak languages from a completely different language family.) A few days earlier, Barack spoke of the “57 states.” One might allow him some credit if he had intended to include all the different jurisdictions that send delegates to the Democrat Convention – although Obama still would have been woefully wrong – but even when you count American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia, the total is 55, not 57. Obama seems ignorant of history and unable to do basic arithmetic. Before that Barack Obama did not know at all about the historical impact upon revenue of raising the tax rate on capital gains (which always lowers tax revenues) and lowering the tax rate on capital gains (which always raises tax revenue.) These statements by Obama do not reflect dishonesty. He has, to be sure, lied to the American people about his knowledge of Jeremiah Wright’s hatefulness. Nor is Obama trying to “spin” something with these statements. He simply does not know very much.

Having failed to stop the irresponsible $50 billion global AIDS bill, Senate conservatives are now being given a second chance. Can they stand up to Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid and block the so-called Coburn Omnibus of more irresponsible spending? Reid jokingly named the bill after the Oklahoma Republican Senator, Tom Coburn, who has prevented dozens of excessive federal spending bills from passing the Senate. But Reid is actually titling the bill “Advancing America’s Priorities.”

The school district of Rochester, N.Y., gave teachers and students exact copies of the questions and answers that would appear on a mandatory test, only to have officials deny wrongdoing and watch half the students fail anyway.
