This post is reprising and updating a post I originally wrote April 8, 2008 at my blog The Problem With Obama and at Talking Points Memo.
“I know more and understand the world better than Senator Clinton or Senator McCain”—Obama
“Foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand [...]

Several months ago Senator Barack Obama quietly outlined his intent to establish a “civilian national security force.” His adoring media minimized this and except for a few attentive bloggers it escaped notice. Yet, this is back in the news. Why?
In Obama’s World-Series-delaying infomercial last week, he stated the need to “rebuild the military.” [...]

There has been a virtual wall of silence around Barack Obama’s long-time ties with Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam. One is tempted to dismissively say that the Minister is ‘just a guy in the neighborhood’, much like William Ayers.
Turns out that Ayers was not just a guy in the neighborhood. [...]

Written with contributions from J.D. Anderson. See his more detailed discussion on this at his blog, Centrist Net.
Barack Obama’s aunt is in the United States despite a judges deportation order back in 1995. More importantly, we now know that Barack Obama has conspired with the Governor of Massachusetts to illegally hide her in his [...]

Written with contributions from Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy.
Updated to correct content and typos.
The common theme from Obama’s adoring media in these last hours before the polls open is that he did not know that his aunt’s asylum claim was denied and that she was ordered deported, did not know that she was in the [...]

(written with contributions from Bud White and Larry Johnson)
Barack Obama’s campaign massive fund raising effort appears to have achieved success in part because they ignored the law on campaign fundraising and refused to follow procedures designed to verify the name, address, and employer of their contributors. My research indicates that at least 26 [...]

(Thank you to Jeremiah God Damn AmeriKKKa Wright for alerting us to this story and for providing videos.)
Senator Barack Obama returns to his boorish behavior by flipping off Senator John McCain while obstensibly praising him at an event. As in past instances where he’s done this to Senator Hillary Clinton, the crowd gets it, [...]

Saturday night’s Huckabee Show on Fox News opened with a great new clip on Mt. Rushmore by The Nose on Your Face.

Here is Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s introduction of Governor Palin in Tampa, Florida on Saturday. Yes, it’s 11 minutes long, but this speech by the proud Republican, and one of the hosts of ABC’s The View, is worth every minute.
By Matthew Weaver on Oct 28, 2008 in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Joe Biden, Joe The Plumber, John McCain | Comments
Several weeks ago Barack Obama smoothly explained to “Joe the Plumber” that he wanted to spread Joe’s wealth around (See Barack Obama Meets “Joe the Plumber”). He advocated taking the wealth of successful Americans and giving it to others as the government saw fit. Barack Obama introduced a heretofor unseen side of his [...]

Senator Barack Obama compared post-World War II America with Hitler’s Nazi Germany in a 2001 discussion of the lead-up to the Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954). While Jim Crow and all that went with segregation of African-Americans is a bloody stain on our national history, comparing those acts to [...]

[If you heard Truthteller's radio show tonight, you know about this hideous assault on Joe The Plumber. Why this isn't a national scandal, and the lead story on ALL media outlets, is beyond me. Also: I'm popping up here to add that, since we're changing servers again, this post may disappear and reemerge, [...]

Obama reneged on his commitment to use public financing and has gone on to raise over $600 million dollars, including a reported $150 million just last month.
Obama claims that much of the record-breaking donations come from small donors, often via his Web site. The symbolism of both the size and number of those [...]
By Matthew Weaver on Oct 24, 2008 in Current Affairs, Sarah Palin | Comments
The Obama news media was all a’twitter over the cost of Governor Palin’s hair styling and make-up today, the obvious follow-on to their critique of her wardrobe that was preceded by pictures of her ankles and high-heels. I’m sure this all makes great fodder for their reporting but even as a guy, I find [...]

On the first day … a partridge in a pear tree (said to represent Jesus Christ).
Donna Brazile, Howard Dean, Louis Farrakhan, and Oprah Winfrey gave us The One, The Messiah. Chris Matthews got a tingle up his leg.
On the second day … two turtle doves (said to represent the Old and New Testaments).
The Democratic party [...]
