John Stossel's stock should rise with you after watching this clip. At the time Andrew Breitbart was breaking the ACORN story back in 2009, Stossel worked at ABC's 20/20. In this recent exchange between Stossel, who is now at Fox Business, and Breitbart, the former 20/20 reporter candidly admits that Breitbart presented the ACORN story to him but that he rejected it because of 'politics at ABC.' That's interesting in light of ABC's Charlie Gibson's admission after the story broke that he 'didn't even know about it.' When someone comes clean like Stossel does here, it's a sign of character.

Video: Tea Party Freshmen Rips Tim Geithner
Here is yet another example of how the Tea Party's voice was heard last November. Check out this exchange between Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) and Treasury doofus Timothy Geithner. I'm not sure what the most inexplicable thing to come out of Geithner's mouth was but among them was his assertion that we have 'unsustainable deficits.' DUH! Timmy, remember that uneducated Tea Party? They've been sounding these alarm bells for years now, while this administration has been spending like crack addicts with money. The other argument Geithner attempts to make is that if spending cuts are implemented, government would 'shrink.' That would be bad how?
Our politicians and bureaucrats are finally having to pay the piper and they don't like it. Unfortunately, the piper will take it out on all of us. The American people are not being sold out; we've BEEN sold out.

Hillary to Congress Regarding Libya: 'Whose Side are you on?'
This is no small development. As the Republican-led House debates whether to cut-off funds for Obama's 'kinetic military action' in Libya, we may have a case of 'thou doth protest too much' coming from the Secretary of State. Here is what we know. The Muslim Brotherhood supports the rebels. For some bizarre reason, so does the Obama administration. Despite Louis Farrakhan's efforts to portray Obama as a president co-opted by the 'white Jew establishment,' there is something else going on.
In light of the fact that it's recently been discovered that Hillary's closest adviser - Huma Abedin - has very close familial ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, Hillary's position becomes very curious. She is now challenging those in Congress who want to withhold funding of Obama's war effort in Libya.

MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica (AP) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is questioning the priorities of lawmakers criticizing the U.S. intervention in Libya.For some reason, this excursion into Libya is very important to this administration. We need to start asking why.
She's asking bluntly, "Whose side are you on?"
Setting up a showdown on Libya, House Republicans agreed Wednesday to vote on dueling measures, one to give President Barack Obama limited authority to continue U.S. involvement in the NATO-led operation against Moammar Gadhafi and the other to cut off funds for military hostilities.
The measures reflect widespread dissatisfaction with Obama's decision not to seek congressional consent for the 3-month-old war.
Clinton says Congress is free to raise objections but questions the priorities of the critics. She says the Obama administration and its partners are rightly siding with the Libyan people.
