Truthiness about Barack & Big Money »

By SusanUnPC on Sep 28, 2008 in Barack Obama, Campaigns & Campaign Financing, Lobbyists, Obamedia | 240 Comments

Somehow I doubt the ‘bot blogs will be running this video of Barack Obama on his close ties to lobbyists and all the money he’s taken from the boys on Wall Street. Nor will the mainstream media. You know what: They need a new acronym. MSM is old. Help me. How about MOB? MOB = [...]

Barack’s Shameful Bipartisan Record »

By Larry Johnson on Sep 25, 2008 in Barack Obama, Campaigns & Campaign Financing, Current Affairs, Democrats, Hillary Clinton, Housing & Housing Crisis, John Kerry, John McCain, Lobbyists, Republicans | 68 Comments

Give Barack some credit. He has been in the forefront of one bipartisan group on the Hill–i.e., those who have raked in the most dough from two bankrupt mortgage firms. There are twenty five members of congress-16 -Democrats and 9 Republicans–who have some explaining to do about the unfolding Wall Street debacle that started with [...]

Can the MSM Get Over Its Precious Self? »

By SusanUnPC on Sep 19, 2008 in Barack Obama, Chicago politics, Home Loan, Housing & Housing Crisis, Lobbyists | 180 Comments

Last night, I posted the new McCain ad that exposes an Obama adviser, Franklin Raines, who reaped millions from Fannie Mae and gets a guaranteed lifetime pension of $110,000 per month after he left amidst a huge mismanagement scandal and, according to the Washington Post, “perpetrated ‘extensive financial fraud’” at Fannie Mae. Now that’s damn [...]

By SusanUnPC on Sep 15, 2008 in Barack Obama, Economy, Energy Policy, Federal Lobbyists, Housing & Housing Crisis, Lobbyists, McCain/Palin 2008 | 204 Comments

Our nation’s financial crisis is dominating the news today — and it is in these times of crisis that we find out what our leaders are made of. It is highly ironic that Barack Obama chose to respond to today’s shocking news by attacking McCain while McCain/Palin are proposing a reform of federal regulations. Obama [...]

There was a big event last night, one that has not received a lot of press yet. No, I am not talking about the Saddleback Forum in which McCain schooled Obush (see, that’s what happens when Obush doesn’t have Hillary to follow and say, “Uh, what SHE said, except, uh, ah, uh…(Incoherent ramblings which continue [...]

A guest column from the newspaper, TheCityEdition.com || Letters to the Editor In order to “save” the Democratic Party, Brazile resolved back in 2003 that she might have to destroy it first. And who better to help her in this lofty pursuit than her new best friend, the man neoconservatives call “The Architect”. ………………………….. BY [...]

Obama’s Fundraising Comes Under Scrutiny »

Last week, the Obama campaign reported that it had a $52 million haul in the month of June. In releasing this information, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe wrote in an e-mail to supporters that: “You continue to prove what ordinary Americans committed to change can accomplish, despite the Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs funding [...]

Max Cleland–a beloved Democrat who lost three limbs in a hand grenade accident while engaged in combat operations in Viet Nam–is a guy you would definitely want to have at your party, especially if you want to be President of the United States. Aside from being a decorated war hero, Cleland was the administrator of [...]

Seriously, Is Obama Just a Puppet? »

We first learned who was behind Obama and his inspiring speeches months ago. Those very speeches that excited the crowds, and drew people in. Those very speeches that many people voted for. Despite the fact that he ever really said anything more than just *hope* and *change*, people saw JFK, MLK and RFK all rolled [...]

Perhaps they are just out of the loop, the Chicago loop, that is. What could you have expected when he moved operational control of the DNC from Washington DC to Chicago? And if you think it will get better, it won’t. You keeping on seeing what you want to see in Barack Obama and not [...]

Is U.S. Foreign Policy for Sale? Undercover Reporter Tapes Bush Pioneer Selling White House Access »

By Deb Cupples on Jul 15, 2008 in Bush/Cheney, Foreign Affairs, Lobbyists | 42 Comments

Many people around the world suspect that the Bush Administration is excessively fond of cash, but it’s strangely comforting to find real evidence supporting that suspicion.  Actually, I’m more alarmed than comforted. Britain’s Times Online has a great article and a four-minute video clip of lobbyist and Bush Pioneer Stephen Payne — who was appointed [...]

Backtracking with Barack — Corn Ethanol »

By Charles Lemos on Jul 10, 2008 in Barack Obama, Dick Cheney, Economy, Energy Policy Act of 2005, Environment, Hillary Clinton, Iowa, John McCain, Lobbyists | 128 Comments

Unexpectedly or perhaps surprising to me anyway, energy policy is actually getting debated. That’s a good thing even though I don’t really expected it to lead to the tough choices we need to make in the time frame we need to make them. To be honest, we are past the tipping point. We’re doomed. The [...]

Obama and the DNC Don’t Take Lobbyists’ Money »

By SusanUnPC on Jun 19, 2008 in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Exelon, Lobbyists | 85 Comments

That’s what Tweedledum Dick Durbin said on Fox News this morning. And that’s what Howard Dean says. Every day, I think. Obama says it too. Also every blessed day. Thing is:
