Bumped up with and Update at the bottom of the post.
Yes, Obama laid blame at the feet of just about everyone but himself last night during his SOTU. “The Buck Stops Here” moment was very short-lived, was it not? It’s Bush’s fault about the banks, even though Senator Obama voted to bail them [...]

This piece reprinted from The Consortium News with the express permission of the author.
It is time for serious soul-searching regarding the role of the CIA and the intelligence community. Last month’s operational and intelligence failures led to the deaths of seven CIA officers in Afghanistan and might have resulted in nearly 300 deaths on a [...]

Like a voter scorned. Many of us are reaping the sweet rewards of, “I Told You So” with many of our Obot friends, family, and acquaintances. We did, we tried, we hoped, we cried, and nothing would sway them from the One True Messiah of Obama. Well, those days seem to be [...]

As we mark a year of President Obama’s administration, it is time to consider the promises made by Obama the Candidate, and the actions of Obama the President.
One area in which Obama seems to be falling short is on his promises regarding Darfur, according to the organization, Save Darfur Coalition. Recently, they sent a [...]

In Haiti. I assume that, like me, you have been watching what is unfolding in Haiti. The death toll continues to grow as this impoverished country continues to reel from aftershocks from this powerful earthquake, with bodies lying next to the living. Rescue attempts are underway, but it is difficult work, with [...]

Charles Krauthammer wrote the following piece about a week before Obama’s most recent “I have to have my face on tv” speech regarding our security and the Christmas Day terrorist attempt. Since I cannot stand to watch him (I have the exact same aversion to him talking as I did to [...]

You may have heard recently about the Somali man who broke into Durch cartoonist, Kurt Westergaard, to kill him for his depiction of Mohammad in one of his cartoons. Fortunately, he was arrested, and is being charged with attempted murder.
What you may NOT have heard was the connection between this same man and Hillary Clinton:
The [...]

Not so great, according to this article, Barack Obama Is Vulnerable On Terror – And He Knows It; Barack Obama is playing politics over the attempted Christmas Day terrorist attack and Republicans sense he is weak on the issue, writes Toby Harnden in Washington.
Oh, dear. As we know from recent experience, [...]

Just in time for the holidays, Emperor Obama gave a gift the length and breadth of which would warm the cockles of your heart – if you happened to be one of the recipients. Because what he gave is something most people cannot afford in this economy for themselves, but guess what? You [...]

Who would have guessed there would be a connection between the current Health Care debate, and what’s missing from it, and al Qaeda? Not me, until I read this article recently, Let America Have The Smallpox and Anthrax Vaccines. Why is this important? Aren’t we done with that whole smallpox thing? [...]

Well, it seems like it is finally happening. The world community to which Obama pandered during the campaign is starting to realize what many Americans now know (and some of us always did): He’s not all he’s cracked up to be.
In this article from Spiegel, “Obama’s Nice Guy Act Gets Him [...]

Remember back in April when Obama traveled to the G-20 and bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia? If not, here it is:
Actually, that doesn’t look as much like a bow as it does a genuflect. Not, true, says Obama’s Spokes Weasel, Robert Gibbs. Oh, no – it is [...]

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 [...]

That is a question I have asked myself time and time again since Obama took office on a number of issues, including expanding the Faith Based Initiatives, or my fave, the incredibly unConstitutional “Prolonged Detention” of American Citizens, holding them in custody indefinitely without charges.
Turns out I am not the only one who [...]

Okay, I admit it – I have tried to be in total denial about the following interview of Secretary of State Clinton and Ann Curry. My aunt sent me the pertinent quote earlier this week, and I just didn’t want to believe it. I still don’t want to believe it, [...]
