(Bumped up from Saturday.)
“I will continue to say what I’ve said before. You hear in this debate, you hear analogies, you hear references to, you see pictures about and depictions of individuals that are truly stunning, and you hear it all the time. People — imagine five years ago somebody comparing health care reform to [...]

By American Girl in Italy on Oct 27, 2009 in Current Affairs | 25 Comments

This is a follow up to my earlier post, obama and the old boy’s network Tapper tackles the issue (yeah Tapper!!) and NOW speaks out.
From Jake Tapper:
We asked Terry O’Neill, the new president of the National Organization for Women, what she thought of those Democratic women and others quietly complaining about a “boy’s club” [...]

obama and the old boy’s network »

By American Girl in Italy on Oct 23, 2009 in Current Affairs | 70 Comments

Obama invited a bunch of men to the White House for some hoops. No women were invited, and the men were members of the House. Some women are upset, calling this typical of the old boy’s network.

Obama thinks the whole issue is “bunk”. Really? What does he think the old boy’s network is?
How [...]

*nobel “speech” prize* »

By American Girl in Italy on Oct 11, 2009 in Current Affairs, Media, President Barack Obama, Sara in Italy, World | 130 Comments

A lot of people on the Left are mad at the Right for their criticisms of the Nobel Peace Prize committee awarding the Peace Prize to Obama, even accusing them as “siding with the terrorists“.
The only thing is the criticism is not only coming from the Right. There appears to be an universal sense [...]

obama wins nobel peace prize for wanting world peace »

By American Girl in Italy on Oct 9, 2009 in Current Affairs | 203 Comments

The Nobel Committee awarded Obama the Nobel Peace Prize to encourage his initiatives in calling for world peace and cooperation.
Rather than recognizing concrete achievement, the 2009 prize appeared intended to support initiatives that have yet to bear fruit: reducing the world stock of nuclear arms, easing American conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthening the U.S. [...]

“We are held hostage at any given moment by health insurance companies that deny coverage or drop coverage or charge fees that people can’t afford,” Obama said in August.

And on whitehouse.gov, the Administration promises more stability and security with health care reform, and points out that 20,000 people were denied treatment, to save money:

I took a look at the final four Olympic Bid videos, and rated them as I would if I were an IOC member, just for fun. (I also worked in advertising for 15 years, so I like to think I know a thing or two about selling…)
The second place winner, in my opinion, is Tokyo:

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? [...]

Flopping Aces had a great post up this week about Obama’s empty words and dare I say, lies. It really points out how empty Obama’s promises were/are when it comes to bipartisanship, and the truth about what is going on in Washington.

Wolf Blitzer got spanked by Andy Richter in Celebrity Jeopardy. And he looks as miserable as his performance.
H/T Hot Air
According to Wikipedia, “The incident created a stir when, after airing, CNN President Jonathan Klein suggested that Andy Richter might be a better choice to host The Situation Room than Blitzer.”

President Barack Obama called hip-hop musician Kanye West a “jackass” on Monday in an off-the-record comment during an interview with CNBC, an ABC News anchor reported on Twitter.

James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles strike again. This time in Brooklyn.
The women, Volda and Milagros, in this newest video from Brooklyn, NY, seem slightly less forthcoming than the women from the DC and Baltimore offices. They seem a tad uncomfortable, and don’t look Hannah and James in the eye often. That said, it doesn’t [...]

Let me set aside my media designated “white cloak” for a moment, and offer some advice for Obama supporters.
Every time one of you (liberal media) label criticism of Obama as racist, you are the ones hurting Obama.

From Politico: Wilson wins?
The controversy over Republican Rep. Joe Wilson’s shouting out “You Lie!” at the President over his claim that illegal immigrants wouldn’t benefit from health-care reform apparently sparked some reconsideration of the relevant language.
“We really thought we’d resolved this question of people who are here illegally, but as we reflected on the President’s [...]
