^ ^ ^ bumped up ^ ^ ^ So the other night, Obama had his big Afghanistan speech. Finally, after months of waiting for a decision regarding the request by General McChrystal, Obama laid out his plan, pretty much what had been telegraphed to us before the speech (yet, he still had to get in [...]

* Bumped up from Tuesday * The contents of which we pretty much already know at this point (thus raising the question why we still have to listen to Obama), a whole bunch of people are protesting the expected surge. One group is Code Pink: Watch the latest business video at FOXBusiness.com Another person who [...]

Obama will need more than a popular male prescription medication to get past this new McCain/Palin TV ad: “Tiny – 30 seconds“ That was a vile intro, wasn’t it. But such fun to write. (My mother would have been aghast.) BUT, HARK! MORE IS TO COME! Truthteller is posting a critically important story about Israel, [...]

So, let me get this straight. Obama and his followers attacked Hillary endlessly for her vote on the Iraq resolution. Obama touted his superior judgment in speaking out against the war (remember that speech he gave in Chicago? Yea, me neither.) Obama supporters blogged endlessly about Hillary and blamed HER for the war. They were [...]

Barack doesn’t have much faith in you. He doesn’t think you’ll “get it.” Maureen Dowd asked him: I asked how his “Citizen of the World” tour will go down in Steubenville, Ohio. “There will probably be some backlash,” he said. “I’m a big believer that if something’s good then there’s a bad to it, and [...]

Barack Obama, who has no experience with or in the U.S. military, seems to think military requirements are solely this: “[Y]ou tell me what it is that we need in terms of boots on the ground, in terms of equipment, in terms of other capabilities that are gonna be required.” To Obama, the military is [...]

We have moved this story back to the top of the blog because it is vital that as many people as possible see not only Obama’s “tap dance” but also the prevarications of his defenders. There is a reason that over 30 flag officers rushed to endorse Hillary Clinton: It is because they know she [...]

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“ [...]

I have zero compassion for them. Anyone who supported Obama after March 2008 is clearly either a delusional Obama cultist or a head in the sand idiot. This one is on you. You had better more experienced choices, say Senator Joe Biden. You had better more principled candidates who live their convictions, say Representative Dennis [...]

Below you’ll find a detailed press release from the John McCain campaign that reflects the extraordinary coverage covering Obama’s shifting positions and statements about Iraq. My note: I know so many Obama followers who flocked to Obama because he told them what they were desperate to hear, given their incalculable and understandable distress during the [...]

Barack Obama, the presumptive presidential candidate who has hung out for over two decades with violent extremists, radical and racist preachers, and both backed and enabled the now-convicted Tony Rezko who bilked taxpayers out of millions and left poor people in uninhabitable housing he failed to renovate, said this last night in Philadelphia, a city [...]

– Uh, a little knowledge of history and political diplomacy might help! ALSO: My daughter just e-mailed me with this tidbit on Fox News: “After a voter in a townhall meeting asked obama about nuclear stuff and the hanford site: “here’s something you won’t hear often from a politician..uh…i’m not familiar with hanford…uh…“ She reports [...]
