Thousands in Turkey Protest Obama »

By SusanUnPC on Apr 6, 2009 in Iraq, NATO, Obama's Broken Promises, President Barack Obama, Turkey | 34 Comments

Thousands of protestors (Press TV) are filling the streets across Turkey to protest President Obama’s visit to the NATO ally. Irag is a primary reason — as you’ll see in the video below — as is NATO:
[T]he streets were littered with anti-NATO and anti-Obama fliers. “Leave NATO — get rid of the gladiators,” [...]

Obama Proves Peter Principle at NATO [Updates] »

By SusanUnPC on Apr 4, 2009 in Current Affairs, NATO, President Barack Obama, Qualifications | 42 Comments

Someone’s lack of qualifications and substantive experience is showing — SEE Ambassador Joseph Wilson in Update #2 — and someone is depicting us United States citizens as beggars grateful for insultingly thin gruel while someone (that’d be President Barack Obama [PBO]) is being “played” by leaders of fellow NATO nations who know they can [...]

Well, the election is over and we all need to figure out next steps. However, while we indulge in mulling, there’s stuff going on. Do you know where one of the “front lines” is in international war / finance / fraud? Computers. At least Obama now knows this first hand. [...]

Remember When Obama Said He Chaired the Banking Committee (Chris Dodd’s Committee)? »

By SusanUnPC on Sep 28, 2008 in Economy, Foreign Policy, NATO, Obamaisms, Obamedia | 142 Comments

Since Barack Obama doesn’t have time to be in D.C. during the intense negotiations over the financial crisis, it’s probably a good thing he really isn’t the chair of the Banking Committee — not that it’s any better that Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) aka “Senator Acorn” is in charge. Besides, as all of you [...]

Steve Clemons: Gen. Clark Is Not Welcome at the Democratic National Convention »

By SusanUnPC on Aug 16, 2008 in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Democratic National Convention, Joseph Wilson, NATO, National Defense, National Security, Obama's Neuroses, Valerie Plame Wilson | 126 Comments

Steve Clemons is one of the classiest and most fair-minded people I know. He makes every effort to always give people the benefit of the doubt. He demonstrates in every action and in all of his writings the “Golden Rule.”
Furthermore, if you’ve ever been lucky enough to have turned on C-Span during [...]

Hillary Is Back Roasting Bush and His Cronies »

By Ani on Aug 6, 2008 in Afghanistan, Barack Obama, Blackwater, Bush/Cheney, Current Affairs, Hillary Clinton, NATO | 121 Comments

Yes, my favorite Presidential candidate, I mean, my favorite Senator from New York, is once again holding Bush’s feet to the fire. And she just turned up the flames…
Excerpted from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s editorial in today’s WSJ:
In the past few years, the number of corporations flocking to places like the Cayman Islands to evade [...]

Meet the Press Transcript /Brokaw and Obama - and Someone writes a top 10 list of “Things that Creep Me Out About Obama” »

By LisaB on Jul 28, 2008 in Afghanistan, Barack Obama, Commander in Chief, Current Affairs, Foreign Policy, Iraq, MSNBC, NATO | 209 Comments

The transcript from Meet the Press where Obama and Brokaw talk right before Obama started his trip back to the US is very interesting. At NQ, we’ve pointed out before that Obama isn’t verbally facile without a teleprompter, and that certainly came through here.
Brokaw, with taped bits relating to Obama’s opposition to [...]

Yet Another Worrisome “Obamaism”: The Banking Committee Is “My Committee” [UPDATES] »

By SusanUnPC on Jul 23, 2008 in Barack Obama, Foreign Policy, Iraq, NATO, Obamaisms | 254 Comments

UPDATES: Memeorandum.com is tracking the story; CNN’s Political Ticker and several blogs have reported Obama’s (to be polite) misstatement. The Chicago Tribune has picked up the story. I’m certain that MSNBC and Keith Olbermann will be alllllll over this too, especially since Keith constantly criticizes other news networks for not being “fair and balanced.” [...]

I Imagine That Denver Delegates Will See This RNC Ad »

By SusanUnPC on Jul 8, 2008 in Barack Obama, Electability, Flag officers, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, Hillary Clinton, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Joseph Wilson, NATO, National Defense, National Security, Qualifications | 471 Comments

This is the latest ad from the RNC. Unfortunately, it effectively encapsulates Obama’s flip-flops on Iraq as well as visibly displaying his hesitancy and uncertainty when confronted with the hard questions:

There is a reason that 30+ flag officers endorsed Hillary Clinton. See:

“More Flag Officers Endorse …“

“Gen. Shelton Endorses, Obama Thinks Rumsfeld OK“ (This [...]

Senator Obama’s ill-conceived remarks likening small town Americans to embittered guns-and-God bigots have triggered a justifiable furor. Not only are the remarks insulting, but also factually incorrect.

Another Obama “Mistake” »

By PsychoDrew on Apr 1, 2008 in Abortion, Afghanistan, Barack Obama, Iraq, NAFTA, NATO, Tony Rezko | 23 Comments

In December, Politico reported that Barack Obama had taken “unabashedly liberal positions” on a questionnaire he filled out while running for the Illinois State Senate in 1996.  The premise of the article was that his “far left” positions — opposition to restrictions to abortion on demand and support for single-payer health insurance and strict gun [...]

Barack “I-didn’t-know” Obama »

Vetting our two Democratic presidential candidates has definitely been a mixed bag. On one hand, Hillary Clinton’s life and political history has been in the news and reported online for many years. Barack Obama is another deal. He has essentially gotten a free ride in the national media, only being questioned seriously [...]

“Won’t Get Fooled Again” »

 This song by The Who is not just the theme song for the television series “CSI”; or one of the greatest songs in music history. This song is the anthem of the 2008 Presidential Race.
 The chorus of “Won’t Get Fooled Again” goes as follows:
“I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the [...]
