Most of us know that there are many positions, like being an ambassador to, say France and Monaco, is often a payback for the person giving tons of money to the candidate. Well, guess what? Not only is Obama doing just that, but the man who claimed to bring “change to Washington” has [...]

ABC’s Jake Tapper reported last night that the President’s Political Arm Follows His Lead in Drumming Up Support for Health Care Reform Push — by Criticizing Media.
In his August 20, 2009, meeting with supporters at the Democratic National Committee and its “Organizing for America” (OFA) arm – formerly the “Obama for America” campaign – President [...]

(bumped up from yesterday)
Huffington Post featured an exclusive excerpt from Wolffe’s book on Obama’s ascent to the Presidency. You can run over and see it for yourselves if you feel so inclined, I will not link to it. Much as I would wish otherwise, I must express bottomless contempt for the continuously disrespectful [...]

In the latest round of economic obscenities from Barack Obama, his campaign is reported to be spending a record $230 million on television advertising, including Wednesday prime-time commercials on CBS, NBC and Fox.
The three 30-minute ads or infomercials cost Obama nearly $1 million each. This is the first time mark the [...]

**********Truthteller asks bloggers and reporters to direct their attention to Amrish Mahajan and the Mutual Bank of Harvey.**********
Mike Robinson’s AP article entitled “Obama Fundraiser, Convicted of Fraud, Spills Beans,” corroborates what we at No Quarter have been writing for weeks: Antoin “Tony” Rezko is cooperating with federal prosecutors interested in Barack Obama. While the [...]

The American Issues Project, the 501 (c)4 organization whose first ad exposed Obama’s long-term friendship with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and which the Obama team tried to quash, released a new ad on Wednesday about the economic meltdown, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and corruption. This ad does not mention Obama or the fact he [...]

No Quarter reproduced Rezko’s letter to Judge Amy St. Eve dated 9 JUN 2008 in an essay I published on 12 JUN 2008. I quote Antoin “Tony” Rezko:
Your Honor, the prosecutors have been overzealous in pursuing a crime that never happened. They are pressuring me to tell them the “wrong” things that I supposedly [...]

Sarah Palin’s speech on Wednesday night might be the defining moment of the General Election. According to CBS’s new poll, Obama’s post-convention bounce has evaporated and the race is again tied. It’s likely that McCain will pull ahead with his own convention bounce. One of few sane netroots bloggers, Jerome Armstrong, sifting through the CBS [...]

I must thank my loyal reader CTMom for this wonderful link on the new Obama fashions.
While I don’t imagine that thirty years from now people will be coveting these items in the same way they seek original Grateful Dead T-Shirts, this idea is sure to hit the fashion industry by storm, albeit for a short-lived [...]

Irrefutable evidence indicates that Obama’s campaign has been doing business with CSI, which appears to have been operating fraudulently in the State of Maryland and Ohio, and ACORN, which has been associated with a laundry list of fraudulent business practices. The full nature of the relationship between ACORN and Citizens Services Inc is not known [...]

Max Cleland–a beloved Democrat who lost three limbs in a hand grenade accident while engaged in combat operations in Viet Nam–is a guy you would definitely want to have at your party, especially if you want to be President of the United States. Aside from being a decorated war hero, Cleland was the administrator of [...]

How fitting that the Obama Campaign is on its way to regretting the decision made by their Arrogant Selected Ass to forgo public financing.
First, they didn’t meet their lofty goals for June. Surprise!
And the DNC has been tanking financially since the last quarter of last year. Surprise!
Do you think they have guessed why? Could it [...]

The story of Barack Obama revisiting and redacting his pledge to take public campaign funds has been out for a day now. Generally speaking this announcement has been met with disapproval and disappointment, except by kool-aid drinkers at the HuffyPot.

Obama continues to say one thing and do another. The Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday that Obama has continued to take money from oil executives:

In March, I objected to a fund-raising email (signed by Barack Obama), which claimed that Hillary Clinton was attacking Obama’s supporters. The implication: she’s coming after you, personally, the way Darth Vader went after Luke. Fostering a bellicose, with-us-or-against-us mentality worked for President Bush after 9/11, and Obama’s [...]
