Here’s how you start getting rich on Capitol Hill:  “First, $750,000 worth of stock in drug maker Teva Pharmaceuticals was added to their portfolios at around $50 a share. Once Obamacare passed, the value of the stock rose to $62 per share. Subsequently, in 2010, a portion of Teva holdings was dumped from the Kerry portfolio, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in capital gains (exact profits are unclear because politicians are only required to report ranges, not exact dollar amounts).

Freedomworks and some great Tea Party thinkers have put some elbow grease behind their protests.  Rather than camping out in parks, the Tea Party has come up with its own BUDGET PLAN to reform the economy! As expected, the plan takes no prisoners.  Say goodbye to foreign aid, student loans and farm subsidies.  But the Freedomworks Tea Party Plan seeks to balance the budget, and that’s more than our PAID thinkers are doing!

The Misery Index is deepening and this week, Commentary Online outlines the long painful list of  economic headaches which are resting on the backs of Americans.  President Obama, meanwhile, continues to cling to his vision of change.  Read the painful list of “changes” in our economy which have shown up like paper cuts on the hands of hard-working Americans in the past three years.  It’s simply amazing.  We can’t afford any more of Barack Obama’s definition….of change.

Gloria Cain does the one thing she hoped she wouldn’t have to do.  Go public.  The Cains apparently had an agreement that their personal lives would be separate from the national battle for the presidency.  Did Herman Cain tell his wife the truth…about that?  Polls show Herman Cain losing support from women who are suspicious about the claims which have emerged in such political ways.  Mrs. Cain tries to shut the door on them.
