“Let’s go jail a few of them.” – Ellis Henican

The Stock Act – legislation to bar members of Congress from Insider Trading – passed the Senate in a 96 to 3 vote. It still needs to pass the House.

But, aren’t members of Congress already subject to insider trading laws?

“This is fake outrage. Are you shocked that people with alot of money try to influence government? Washington is not broken – it is bought.” – Ellis Henican

Obama’s re-election campaign identified its top fundraisers including former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine and two fundraisers linked to Solyndra LLC, the California solar company that received a $528 million federal loan and then later declared bankruptcy.

“I wouldn’t say Obama himself is such a polarizing figure. He’s more of a conciliator type personality. A lot of people on the left say that he gives in too much.” – Ellis Henican

A Gallup poll shows that President Obama is one of the most polarizing presidents in history with 80% of democrats approving of the job he’s doing while only 12% of republicans agree.

With so much  partisan commentary  fueling the polarization – is the media partly to blame?

“I’ve enjoyed being on the high road. With people talking about candidate’s divorces and ex-boyfriends – I’m concerned about foreign policy and trade deficits and those sort of things.” – Ellis Henican

The candidate attacks are taking their toll on the Republican race—Mitt Romney’s money in the Cayman Islands, Newt Gingrich’s ex-wife talking to ABC, Rick Santorum’s wife’s abortion doctor ex-boyfriend. The Democrats are starting to look good.

“Do you think it’s a total coincidence that the one percenters are taxed at such a low rate?” – Ellis Henican

Mitt Romney, whose networth is about a quarter of a billion dollars, revealed that his tax rate is around 15 percent—highlighting the tax advantages enjoyed by wealthy Americans who make most of their money from investments rather than labor.

Is this unfair? Ellis Henican and Charles Payne disagree:

“Conservatives used to be good at politics. But, this year, they’ve been completely skunked by this moderate guy from Massachusetts that, frankly, most of them don’t like or trust very much.” – Ellis Henican

Rick Santorum, trailing Mitt Romney in the polls, got an endorsement he terms “a very big deal.”

With the South Carolina primary one week away, a group of 150 conservative influential evangelical Christian leaders, meeting at a ranch outside Houston, endorsed Rick Santorum for the Republican presidential nomination. Just what he needs – or too little, too late?

Fox & Friends (and foes) Clayton Thomas, Liz Peek, David Webb and Ellis Henican give their take on the latest Republican Primary news:

“Cozy, Cozy. It’s corrupt in the worst kind of way.”  – Ellis Henican

Food and Drug Administration advisers said the benefits of four popular Bayer AG birth-control pills outweigh the blood-clot risk. What the FDA didn’t disclose is that four of the advisers have had ties to Bayer – who’s own studies show no excess danger.  But other research – including an FDA-commissioned study- suggests there is one.

Some days, the FDA seems like a wholly owned subsidiary of Bayer, Merck, and Pfizer. There’s good reason for an independent federal agency to protect the public health from dangerous drugs. But the FDA is supposed to protect THE PUBLIC – not the pharmaceutical companies.

“We’ve had months and years of struggling…this is good. Let’s just keep doing more of what we’re doing—stimulating the economy, get people back to work. Do what we know works and let’s congratulate ourselves.” – Ellis Henican

The December jobs report said we gained 200,000 jobs and reduced the unemployment rate to 8.5%  – but there are people in Washington and on Wall Street who are saying this is not good news.

“No more World War II analogies. Real candidates – people with poll numbers, money and real campaigns can’t get on the ballot. There is something anti-democratic going on.” – Ellis Henican

Remember when Hank Williams, jr. compared Barack Obama’s golf outing with John Boehner to an imagined game between Adolph Hitler and Benjamin Netanyahu? Now, Newt Gingrich’s campaign is comparing his failure to get on the ballot for the Republican primary in Virginia to what happened at Pearl Harbor.

Haven’t we had enough with the World War II analogies?

“These guys were reckless, they came running for our money and, I’m sorry, our money comes with string attached.” – Ellis Henican 

A Federal Reserve proposal by the chief U.S. banking regulator says the largest U.S. banks and financial companies should hold extra cash on their balance sheets to cushion themselves against financial crises and save taxpayers from financing more bailouts. Some critics, despite the history of bank failures and bailouts, are suggesting that these regulations are too tough.
