Most of us know that there are many positions, like being an ambassador to, say France and Monaco, is often a payback for the person giving tons of money to the candidate. Well, guess what? Not only is Obama doing just that, but the man who claimed to bring “change to Washington” has [...]

Obama’s BFF, or, as Vogue called her, “Barrack’s Rock,” Valerie Jarrett, is continuing the White House’s attack on Fox News. Check out this exchange with Campbell Brown (bonus points if you catch the conundrum when Jarrett is asked about MSNBC!):

More and more media are taking the White House [...]

There’s a sign going up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It reads: “Boy’s Club: Girls Not Allowed.”
Despite much talk of hope and change, President Obama seems largely tone-deaf to women and women’s issues. Post-racial [...]

a little reality check for the reality checkers… »

By American Girl in Italy on Oct 1, 2009 in Chicago, Chicago politics, Corruption, Current Affairs, Fox News, Obama Administration, Sara in Italy, Valerie Jarrett | 49 Comments

I stumbled upon the latest Reality Check brought to you by WhiteHouse.gov. Apparently the Obama administration is still obsessing over FOX news, this time targeting Glenn Beck. They took Beck to task, providing the “REALITY” to his “RHETORIC”. I provide the *ACTUAL REALITY*.
What topic do they take issue with? His comments on Afghanistan? Health Care? [...]

He is off to Copenhagen to lobby IOC to bring 2016 Olympics to Chicago.
One has to wonder who is running the country, as he goes gallivanting around the globe pretending he is the world president or something.
But even more importantly here is my dilemma with his trip. How will it reflect on him if [...]

Thank You, Tucker Carlson! »

By pm317 on Sep 23, 2009 in Current Affairs | 131 Comments

Normally, Tucker would not receive any thanks from me. But what he said on Greta’s show on Fox Monday night (see video below the fold), is quite significant. Finally, someone in the media has the courage to say it and say it well.
[Tucker:] But let me just say, very clearly, it was the Obama [...]

Dissent, thy name is Racism in Obamaland »

By pm317 on Sep 16, 2009 in Current Affairs | 160 Comments

I hate what Democrats, Obama supporters are doing to this country. Most recently it is President Carter who is fanning the flames of racism lit by Obama minions last year. Starting with his campaign, everyone who raised objections to his inexperience or lack of accomplishments got branded as being racists. There is nothing worse than [...]

Czars, Czars Everywhere, not a Czar to Vet »

By pm317 on Sep 8, 2009 in Current Affairs | 91 Comments

Van Jones did not fill out the Questionnaire. Major Garrett (see video below) offers either Van Jones was not high ranking enough to fill out the questionnaire or that the vetting process broke down. Why are we, the tax payers paying these Czars if they are not high ranking and don’t have Obama’s attention? Me [...]

Gawker has a very interesting story today. Obama’s 4th of July party was, at the last minute, open to the press. Well, not for reporting, of course. The party had some invitations left over and passed them out among the WH press corps, many of whom happily attended.
Reporters from roughly 30 [...]
