By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jan 30, 2010 in Corruption, Current Affairs, President Barack Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, U.S. Constitution | 0 Comments

Because Obama doesn’t seem to know the difference between the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence in his SOTU:

It is hard to believe the above isn’t a skit from SNL, too. Holy smokes.Huh, I guess not being able to see those transcripts and stuff is kind of important AFTER all.

The State Of The Democrats? **Open Thread** »

Wow, Jon Stewart is really taking it to the Democrats, albeit in a state of disbelief. He cannot believe the way the Democrats are backing down. Already. After a year of having a super-majority. The best part, though, is the new Democratic logo at the very end (H/t to Pat):

Bumped up with and Update at the bottom of the post.
Yes, Obama laid blame at the feet of just about everyone but himself last night during his SOTU. “The Buck Stops Here” moment was very short-lived, was it not? It’s Bush’s fault about the banks, even though Senator Obama voted to bail them [...]

Jon Stewart had Harvard Professor, Elizabeth Warren on recently to discuss TARP and Wall Street. It was an interesting interview, to be sure (h/t to Pat), and provided a historical perspective:

“An Open Letter To Hillary Clinton” »

Here we are, the day of President Obama’s first State of the Union address. Oh, yippee. While Obama still enjoys a fair amount of support among Democrats, this man who claimed to be the big Uniter, rammed down our throats by the DNC over OUR choice, ain’t doing so well in the polls. [...]

Obama’s “Accomplishments”? »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jan 27, 2010 in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Obama's Priorities | 0 Comments

At a recent post at my blog, two of my regulars combined to send me into fits of laughter. That is to say, they are both pretty darn funny.
What they wrote were potential accomplishments Obama might mention in his first State of the Union Address. I suggest you not consume any liquids (or [...]

My friend from Hand Count Paper Ballots Now, Kathleen Wynne, recently wrote this fine piece, “How The American People Can Defeat Unlimited Corporate Money and Influence in Elections” with her colleague, Karen Renick. She was kind enough to allow me to reprint it here in its entirety below:
“There is a dangerous, misguided movement out [...]

DADT Repeal Won’t Make It Into The SOTU »

As we all know, Obama will be making his first SOTU address this week, though thankfully, the time will not conflict with the season premiere of “Lost.” I’m not kidding. That’s for real (and if you want to see a funny video on the whole “Lost” fan thing, click for an Onion [...]

Wassup With The Supremes? »

Okay, just what the hell is in the water in Washington, D.C.? Can someone, ANYONE, please tell me how a Corporation = Human? Seriously, because I’m not seeing it. I cannot imagine what kind of machinations through which the Supreme Court went to come to the conclusion that it is unconstitutional to [...]

Jon Stewart Takes On Keith Olbermann »

And Olbermann’s response to him. Now you know I used to watch both Keith Olbermann and Jon Stewart religiously. I’m not about to start watching Olbermann again, but after the mocking Jon Stewart did of Olbermann, I may just have to start watching “The Daily Show” again. He’s been on fire recently.
The [...]

Like a voter scorned. Many of us are reaping the sweet rewards of, “I Told You So” with many of our Obot friends, family, and acquaintances. We did, we tried, we hoped, we cried, and nothing would sway them from the One True Messiah of Obama. Well, those days seem to be [...]

As we mark a year of President Obama’s administration, it is time to consider the promises made by Obama the Candidate, and the actions of Obama the President.
One area in which Obama seems to be falling short is on his promises regarding Darfur, according to the organization, Save Darfur Coalition. Recently, they sent a [...]

* Bumped up (Amy discusses Lynn de Rothschild’s article, one of the hottest stories circulating on the ‘net) *
Well, it’s official: Scott Brown won the US Senate seat in Massachusetts, easily one of the most liberal states in the Union. Brown’s win is the first by a Republican in that state since 1972. Holy moley. [...]

Workers, aid, and officials, including the UN, Canadians, Icelanders, EU members, and Americans, to name a few, continue to pour into Haiti. How are the people there coping with the wide-spread destruction? I think this reporter, Jonathan Hunt, sums it up beautifully:
