Who’s Coming To Hang Out With Obama In Our White House? »

You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it [...]

Olympic Bid Dud »

I know, I’m a little late to the party writing about Rio winning the 2016 Olympics, but it isn’t for lack of interest. Not at all - rather, I have been amused by some stories I have seen on the IOC decision. To say it took some people by surprise (that is, the [...]

Salient archive post #2: Obama and Blago: I fought the machine and the machine won…. »

Editor’s Note: Because Paula Abeles’ special No Quarter Radio guest tonight is David Alinsky, the son of the father of “community organizing,” Saul Alinsky, we are republishing relevant past articles. (See Bud White’s post earlier today.) This story by law professor Stephen Diamond was originally published on December 14, 2008. David Alinsky will [...]

It’s A High Ol’ Time In Rahm’s Old Stomping Grounds… »

According to John Kass in this VERY good piece from January 9, Chickens Dancing, Roosting in 5th District (major H/T to KenoshaMarge via NH). I tell you, that is one courageous man given how so many of Obama’s critics, or people close to him, are silenced tout suite. But that as not stopped [...]

One Paragraph, Four Obama Statements, Two Equivocations, One Lie, One False Promise [Updated] »

(bumped up by nasuS)
[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.]
Barack Obama on Thursday stated the following:
“I have never spoken to the governor on this subject. I am confident that [...]

AYERS VIDEO on Hardball with Chris Matthews »

CHRIS MATTHEWS to Bill Ayers, December 10, 2008, Hardball, MSNBC: “I was a Capitol policeman at the time, so I was one of the guys that could have been killed obviously at the time you put that, your guys put that bomb in there. So I have a little personal interest. It wasn’t [...]

Michelle Obama Is The “Specifically Named Individual” On Page 64 of The Affidavit Submitted by FBI »

Please read the Criminal Complaint filed by David W. Cain, Special Agent of the FBI. Details of the conversations Blagojevich had with his operatives about Barack Obama and the possibility Barack Obama would strike several deals with Blagojevich regarding the open Senate seat are discussed, and yes, quotations are provided.
I enjoy this gem from [...]

Why Is Obama Pushing Daley’s Plan for Chicago to Host Olympics in 2016? »

Just as Daley controlled Obama in Chicago, Daley will control Obama in Washington, DC. I quote the Chicago Tribune with added emphasis:
It didn’t take long for Barack Obama to start playing a significant role in promoting Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
About 15 minutes into Chicago’s Friday presentation of its bid plans to [...]

Valerie Jarrett »

From the NYTimes’s Caucus Blog, via Time’s Mark Halperin: “Nearly two decades ago, Valerie Jarrett hired a young lawyer named Michelle Obama for a job at Chicago’s City Hall. Now President-elect Barack Obama has hired Ms. Jarrett for a senior role in the White House.
“Ms. Jarrett’s role will be threefold, as is her title: White [...]

BREAKING: Obama Land Deal with Rezko and Mutual Bank Subject of New Court Complaint »

No Quarter introduced readers to the Mutual Bank in Chicago after a Chicago Sun-Times columnist mentioned how a certain financial institution in Chicago would become the subject of a federal probe to be conducted by Fitzgerald’s prosecutors in relation to the conviction of Antoin “Tony” Rezko. Although I cautioned I did not have conclusive [...]

“The Chicago Way” »

John Kass had a very interesting piece in the Chicago Tribune the other day, “Daley Reins In Radicals — The Chicago Way” about Obama and his associates, written by someone who knows Chicago Politics. Despite Obama’s attempts (successful as far as the MSM is concerned) to portray himself as a “fresh as a daisy” [...]

About the Financial Institution Mentioned in the Sun-Times: Obama, Tony Rezko, Amrish Mahajan, the Kenwood Mansion & Rita Rezko »

**********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 [...]

Obama, Ayers and the Annenberg Challenge: Does Conservative Stanley Kurtz Get It Right? »

Published September 22, 2008 at my blog, Global Labor and Politics.
…………………………………………………………………
As far as it goes, Stanley Kurtz of the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center and the National Review Online, has done a reasonably good job in this essay in the Wall Street Journal of capturing the intimately close political relationship between Barack Obama and [...]

“CHICAGO MACHINE” »

At the end of his rather provocative story today, Eastan already posted this new video, but just in case you missed it, it’s worth posting above the fold. The campaign couldn’t list all of Obama’s Chicago cronies, so I’ve added some names for you to checkout in the Category list above the story.

In mid-June, [...]

Lies, Money, and Barack »

William Ayers was just a guy in the neighborhood—Barack Obama
We know that this is a lie. See my reprised post at bottom, which is worth reviewing as Obama was at it again in his interview with O’Reilly where he repeated his lies in this interview. It was a shame that Bill gave him [...]

Barack, Michelle, Bill Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn—It’s Not Just The Lies »

Why is Barack Obama and his campaign lying about his relationship and association with William “Bill” Ayers? Consider what Obama said on April 16, 2008 when asked about Ayers at the ABC Primary Debate in Philadelphia:
“This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago who I know [...]

The Three Blind Men and the Elephant: The New Yorker on Obama »

The New Yorker magazine made a fundamental mistake when it decided to answer the question, Who Sent Obama?  

They sent a 30-something New Yorker named Ryan Lizza to Chicago.  And Chicago ate him for breakfast and never looked back.

Of course, as patient readers of Global Labor well know, we asked, and answered, the age old [...]

Obama-Rezko Redux »

Barack Obama was recruited to become a community organizer in Chicago twenty years ago. After three years of doing this work, Obama realized that he could have far more influence in Illinois if he pursued a career in politics as had Chicago’s first black mayor, Harold Washington. In furtherance of [...]
