“Tiny” * Open Thread »

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, [...]

powell endorses obama, and supporters pee their pants with glee »

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 vicious [...]

What’s Wrong With You Bitter White People? »

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 [...]

“It’s Not Just Troops, It’s an Overall Strategy” »

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 [...]

Obama Is Lying on Iraq, Will the Press Call Him on It? (UPDATED) »

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 [...]

I Imagine That Denver Delegates Will See This RNC Ad »

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 [...]

The Plight of the Obama Crowd »

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 [...]

Oppo Research on Obama’s Shifting, Finger-to-the-wind Iraq Stands »

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.

Obama’s Gangster Mentality »

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 [...]

Negotiating With Terrorists + Knowledge of Foreign Policy/History? »

– 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 he also [...]

It Ain’t Over: Obama MAY have to pay the piper after all [Hot Update] »

UPDATE: Jerome Armstrong posted a comment in Alegre’s diary at MyDD last night. Here’s what he said:
“The “official” Obama nomination tour will have to do a detour into
the land of unelectability (for him).”
___________________________________
Hewitt is correct: There are two overarching problems with Obama — 1) He cannot win the big electoral states — cannot do it, [...]

General Hugh Shelton Endorses Hillary »

Gen. Hugh Shelton, a native North Carolinian:
“You know in the history of our great nation, there has been only one former President who received an endorsement of a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs prior to being elected. And in this case, not only one, but two former Chiefs along with a former Vice Chairman have [...]

Cutting Through the Nonsense: 10 Reasons to Vote for Hillary »

   Pennsylvania’s primary is tomorrow, and TV ads are reportedly running round the clock, aimed at swaying undecided voters.  Unfortunately, many campaign ads are not truly informative. 
This morning, I thought again about why I support Hillary — reasons beyond the intelligence, warmth and wit that would make her a great Happy Hour  partner.  I [...]

Open Letter from Former Admirals and Generals »

[It is clear that these flag and general officers are concerned. Deeply. We must do all we can to ensure that we have the best, most capable, and most experienced Commander in Chief. Now, I've never been in the military. But if I were a flag officer, or even a private -- and [...]

34 Flag Officers and the Out Of Iraq Caucus Support Hillary Clinton »

It is highly significant that both elected anti-war activists and 34 top flag officers support Hillary Clinton to be our next Commander in Chief:

[VIDEO: Some of the 34 flag officers who support Sen. Clinton. TRANSCRIPT below.]
From the Out of Iraq Caucus:   ”As firm opponents of the Iraq war, we believe there is no higher priority for [...]

Hitting Back »

Keeping up with the delegate count: Hillary has erased Obama’s delegate pick-ups.
Sometimes money isn’t enough: “Report: Obama Outspent Hillary 2:1 on Ohio Ads, Still Lost,” writes Jeralyn at TalkLeft.
