Susan’s Notes: Well!!! It’s happened, after all the conjecture the past few days speculating if the two men would meet. Today, they shook hands. From the April 18, 2009 Times UK, “President Obama in historic handshake with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela“:
All the conjecture and today’s meeting reminded me of Truthteller’s excellent piece on [...]

The press’s mindless and sycophantic coverage of the First Family and the First Dog gamboling on the simulated verdure of the White House lawn as they each perform their respective roles in that foundational American fiction we call the heteronormative, patriarchal nuclear family located in “nature” prompted this incisive comment from ABC News’s Jake Tapper [...]

David Axelrod manufactures commodities, not politicians: they don suits; they read teleprompters; they promise something new and unprecedented; but these newfangled objects cannot govern. No, I am not referring to Barack Obama, although this news does not bode well for Axelrod’s latest product; I am discussing Deval Patrick, who according to a 7News [...]

Obama will address Congress tonight about his budget proposal and his intention to reduce the deficit. This is nothing more than hackneyed political theater. But this time it is not a Republican puppet at the Speaker’s chair; it is a Democratic marionette named Barack Obama. Obama will espouse the same rhetoric that [...]

Another classic NQ story focused on the rampant misogyny directed at VP candidate Sarah Palin. Truthteller wrote this piece back in October. Do make sure to see all the images. Classic!

Uppity Woman on December 15 2008, alerted No Quarter readers to the Department of Justice’s investigation of alleged “pay to play” schemes involving New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, Obama’s choice for Secretary of Commerce, and CDR, a company that relies on contracts funded by taxpayer dollars for private profit.

Not yet inaugurated, fierce Blagojevich supporter and Daley puppet Barack Obama already has a public relations problem as a result of his staff’s questionable engagement with Governor Rod Blagojevich, the man who attempted to sell Obama’s Senate seat to the highest bidder. According to a Rasmussen Reports poll [...]

According to Michael Sneed of the Chicago Sun-Times, Rahm Emanuel was not recorded in one, two, three, four or five conversations captured by the feds; he participated in TWENTY-ONE conversations recorded by Fitzgerald’s team.
Allow me to write the number again: 21. I quote Michael Sneed:

That is what I glean from an article entitled “Obama: Review shows no inappropriate contact”. I quote:
CHICAGO – President-elect Barack Obama said Monday a review by his own lawyer shows he had no direct contact with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich about the appointment of a Senate replacement, and transition aides “did nothing inappropriate.”

[Truthteller's piece is terrific. I've added the latest video from the guys at the Nose On Your Face at the end. I think it is a dandy companion for this piece.]

Times Online reports calls for Emanuel’s resignation as Obama’s Chief of Staff. I quote with emphasis:

One cannot agree more with this assessment of the scandal engulfing and enveloping inner city Chicago machine politicians Barack Obama, Rod Blagojevich and Rahm Emanuel. I quote:
Here is the lie, which caught my eye because of the phrasing Obama was using during his press conference on Daschle’s appointment:
“I had no contact with the governor’s [...]

Here is Obama attempting to bamboozle the public and the sycophantic and obsequious media:
“I have never spoken to the governor on this subject. I am confident that no representatives of mine would have any part of any deals related to this seat. I think the materials released by the U.S. attorney reflect that fact,” [...]

Barack Obama has a coal problem.

How else does one explain the following?
Obama told MTV he believes marriage is “between a man and a woman” and that he is “not in favor of gay marriage.”
At the same time, Obama reiterated his opposition to Proposition 8, the California ballot measure which would eliminate a right to same-sex marriage that the state’s [...]
