Bernanke: Print More Money....It's "Critical"

Ben Bernanke

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the central bank must focus on the U.S. rather than overseas economies when trying to spur the recovery by purchasing an additional $600 billion in Treasuries. “Our first objective, the first goal that we have, is to meet our mandate to get price stability and maximum employment in the United States,” Bernanke said yesterday in response to questions from college students in Jacksonville, Florida. “A strong U.S. economy, a recovering economy, is critical not just for Americans but it’s also critical for the global recovery.” Read here:

Malkin: Voters Say No to "Soak the Rich"

Michelle Malkin

From Townhall.com - Do Americans share President Obama's desire to impose redistributive social justice on the well off? In liberal Washington State, of all places, voters gave a definitive answer this Tuesday: No! The resounding rejection of a punitive "Robin Hood" initiative shows that it's not just red-state Republicans who oppose extreme tax hikes on the nation's wealth generators. Read here:

Lopez: A Mixed Election for Women

Kathryn Lopez

From Townhall.com - In the summer of 2008, Nancy Pelosi wrote a book, "Know Your Power: A Message to America's Daughters." In it, the San Francisco congresswoman implored the country's young women to thank her for breaking the so-called "marble ceiling" in Congress and becoming the first woman speaker of the House. "The President, always gracious, welcomed me as a new member of the leadership," she wrote about her inaugural meeting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as speaker. As he began the discussion, I suddenly felt crowded in my chair. It was truly an astonishing experience, as if Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Alice Paul, and all the other suffragettes and activists who had worked hard to advance women in government and in life were right there with me. I was enthralled by their presence, and then I could clearly hear them say: "At last we have a seat at the table." Read here:

Biggest Race Since Sea Biscuit and War Admiral

Zenyatta

From the Daily Racing Form - INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Zenyatta had a quiet morning at Hollywood Park on Monday, a contrast to the commotion that awaits her presence at Churchill Downs later this week in the build-up to Saturday’s $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic. The unbeaten 6-year-old mare jogged a leisurely mile on the backstretch training track at Hollywood Park on Monday morning and virtually had the track to herself. She was ridden by regular exercise rider Steve Willard and accompanied by a pony throughout the two-circuit exercise. “She’s doing good,” Willard said. “If she were doing any better, it would scare me.” While Zenyatta was on the training track there were seven to nine other horses on the track, mostly being exercised in the same way. Zenyatta worked six furlongs in 1:11.80 on Saturday and was walked at the barn on Sunday. Monday’s jog was a typical routine for her first day on the racetrack following a workout. WATCH 60 MINUTES SEGMENT HERE.

In Saturday’s BC Classic, Zenyatta will be trying for her 20th win and attempting to become the second horse in history to win consecutive runnings of the race preceded by Tiznow in 2000 and 2001. Zenyatta became the first female to win the BC Classic at Santa Anita last year. Read here:

NM Delegation Wants Tax Hikes

Jeff Bingaman

According to an article in the Albuquerque Journal, except for incoming Congressman Steve Pearce and lame duck Harry Teague, the New Mexico congressional delegation has drawn a line in the sand at $250,000 in annual income. Any citizens earning more than $250,000 should be hunkered down and reserving for higher quarterly tax estimates if Jeff Bingaman, Tom Udall, Martin Heinrich, and Ben Ray Lujan get their economic wishes. As for those New Mexico citizens that fall below the magic 250K line........if Congress does not act quickly to end all of the pending tax increases, anyone with a job can expect lower paychecks starting with their first check in January. Now, everyone go out and have a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas!

"Utterly Clueless"

Tim Geithner

Ben Bernanke

BERLIN Nov 4 (Reuters) - The United States' plan to buy debt and pump more money into the economy to prop it up is wrong and will not solve the country's problems, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Thursday. Asked on broadcaster ZDF what he thought of the Federal Reserve's programme to buy an additional $600 billion worth of government bonds, Schaeuble said it would not solve the problem of high unemployment and a flagging economy.

Chavez: A Cautionary Vote for GOP

Linda Chavez

From Townhall.com - Tuesday was a great night for Republicans, but it would have been better yet had Sen. Harry Reid gone down to defeat. And while many analysts have debated the role the tea party played in a few high-profile Republican losses on Election Day, including that of Reid's opponent Sharron Angle, the real story is what happened with the Hispanic vote. Hispanics made up 18 percent of those voting in the Nevada election -- a much larger than average showing in a non-presidential election. Had Angle won as large a share of Hispanics as did the successful Republican gubernatorial candidate, Brian Sandoval, she'd be Senator-elect Angle today. Instead, she chose to engage in illegal-immigrant bashing as her theme in the last days of the election, with reprehensible ads that depicted illegal immigrants as stealing jobs from Nevadans and terrorizing families as violent gang members.
