Obama’s Answer To The Oil Spill »

Oh, it’s a doozy. I admit, using Jon Stewart two times in one week is a bit unusual for me, but hey – it was Obama’s first Oval Office speech, plus it was both telling, and funny, as hell. So here ya go – Obama’s plan: The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs [...]

The Year Of The Women? **UpdatedX2** »

Wow, what a night Tuesday night! This is shaping up to be the Year of the Women, finally. Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina took California, two women with tremendous resumes in the private sector. Nikki Haley won big in South Carolina, though she does have to have a run-off June 22nd. She is fully expected [...]

Is The Love Affair Between The Press And Obama Over? »

One would certainly think so if this article is any indication, “Why Reporters Are Down On President Obama“. Color me a bit surprised to learn that reporters were down on Obama. I could be jaded after the overwhelmingly positive articles of him during the election, especially compared to favorable articles on Hillary Clinton, but I [...]

The FOX Factor »

Every now and then there are moments in the American media that defy description. Nevertheless they must be addressed. Case in point: Washington Post “media critic” Howard Kurtz’s article today about FOX News Channel’s “reporters’” growing discomfort with the shenanigans of FNC darling Glenn Beck, he of the mighty chalkboard of insanity, his ludicrous fits [...]

Senators Blocked Clinton, But Will They Block Obama? »

Recently, I had a post aboutSenator Robert C. Byrd, and his opposition to using Reconciliation to pass Healthcare. Recently, he seemed to leave the door open for Reconciliation in a recent letter to the Charleston (WVA) Daily Mail. Given his inimitable performance on the Senate Floor during Bill Clinton’s presidency on this very issue, his [...]

“I Told You So” (Update) »

Editor’s Update at 7:30 p.m.: Thanks to Larry Johnson, we have received permission to reprint Lynn Forester de Rothschild’s essay in full. Look for it tomorrow. About Barack Obama, as did many of us, but this person is Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, former Democratic Party activist and donor, not to mention a HUGE supporter [...]

With Good Leadership, The Country Is Indeed Governable »

One of the political positives of 2008 has been a willingness for some on one side of the aisle to give fair hearing to those on on the other. This was accomplished by none other than Nancy Pelosi, Donna Brazile et al telling those of us not willing to get on board with the new [...]

American Idol »

There’s a special genre of publication that caters exclusively to excitable, starstruck young women. “Tiger Beat”, “Bop” and “16″ are fluffy magazines tailored to satisfy the swoony dreams of adolescents as they fantasize about the teen idol de jour. The packaging of a fantasy is an art in and of itself cleverly crafted by publicists, [...]

“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. But this [...]

Hillary Clinton On The Tavis Smiley Show »

Hillary Clinton will be on the Tavis Smiley Show on PBS Wednesday, Jan. 27th, at 8pm (EST) prior to the State Of The Union. Here are some previews for the upcoming show (H/t to the Secretary Clinton Blog for the videos):

Obama Says the “Big Difference” Between ’94 and ’10 is “You’ve Got Me”… »

After the “Scott heard ’round the world” in the special election for MA’s senate seat, Politico offered this little gem I had to share with you — the mind bending audacity of the President really warrants a special mention: Rep. Marion Berry’s parting shot [who has decided to retire rather than risk running for re-relection], [...]

“He’s Done Everything Wrong” – Hell Hath No Fury… »

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 slipping away, don’t [...]

New Material Needed To Respond To DNC Fundraising Calls – **Open Thread** »

* Bumped Up * So, with all the hot water many Democrats are in now, aided by the new book, Game Change, no doubt the fundraising calls will get more and more insistent. They have to overcome not just what was in the book, but stories like this from the Washington Post, “Sen. Reid and [...]

Missing The Point Of “Game Change” »

I first became aware of the book that is making waves, Game Change, when a part of it appearing in NY Magazine was referenced by faithful No Quarter reader, Mountainaires, in terms of Elizabeth Edwards. Basically, the authors, Heilemann and Halperin, dispel the myth of “St. Elizabeth.” What an eye-opener this excerpt was, especially for [...]

And These Comments By Senator Reid Are Not Racist How? »

I just barely know where to start with this recent revelation about Senator Harry Reid. I will leave it to the headline to explain why Reid is in hot water now: Reid Apologizes For ‘Negro dialect’ Comment; Reid apologized Saturday for remarks he made about then-candidate Barack Obama. Washington (CNN) – Senate Majority Leader Harry [...]
