"Just let it sink in: Obama raises the salaries of these politicians in Congress -- people who, if they were in the private sector, would be fired -- and raises the pay of government workers. He does all this whilst at the same time fighting with stubborn intransigence to take money away from American citizens. These are the people who worry about Big Oil and Big Corporations? Talk about greed! What is more greedy and more worrisome than Big Government?" –Doug Urbanski

"In hard times like this, no president should be allowed to spend taxpayer money on such extravagant vacations. If we're going to have taxpayer money spent on presidential vacations at all, shouldn't there be a budget set? Shouldn't there be some sort of arrangement whereby you have to stay within that budget? Of course, 'budget' is not a word that side likes. Maybe I just don't understand the brave new world. Maybe I don't appreciate that Obama isn't just a typical American president." –Doug Urbanski

"The cost of Obama's decision to return to Hawaii from DC comes to over $3 million, and that does not include the price tag for the massive security operation, or the cargo plane that follows Air Force One around. It's utterly, utterly, utterly amazing. This is Obama unfiltered, Obama doing what he wants to do, knowing the press won't write about it." -Doug Urbanski

"I want to talk to you about a country -- a real country -- that is busy slashing the state government payrolls. It's a country that's a success story happening in our very midst. It's a country that is spurring private sector growth, whose private sector picked up enormous steam in 2012; a country where the number of private, non-state workers rose 23% last year alone. It's a country where the state-sector employment dropped by almost 6%, and a country where the unemployment rate is only 3.8% -- including people who did not seek work. I am talking, ladies and gentlemen, about Cuba under the leadership of Raul Castro." -Doug Urbanski
