Who’s Coming To Hang Out With Obama In Our White House? »

You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it [...]

Who’s Running the White House? [Updates] »

(bumped up from Wednesday morning)
George Soros, maybe? The problem in appeasing these activist groups is that there are profoundly serious intelligence-gathering and counterterrorism implications, and extraordinarily time- and energy-consuming legal tasks and confusing agency expectations behind what Obama is suddenly proposing that could suck all the oxygen out of his presidency and the [...]

The Idiocy of Advocacy »

Or perhaps this essay should be entitled “Some Advocates Are Idiots.” The idiots are MoveOn.org and Americans United for Change, who according to Karl Rove, the idiot par excellence, are targeting moderate Democrats in a vain attempt to garner support for Obama’s budget proposal. I quote the Wall Street Journal:
Americans United is going [...]

Jordan And The L Words – OPEN THREAD »

There has been a request for a photo of our horse, Jordan, and his two buddies, the mini horses, Big Boy (closest to Jordan) and Trinket. He LOVES those little horses, and they love him. When they are in adjoining paddocks, they run up and down the fence line, talk to each other, [...]

ANATOMY OF A DIVIDER: PART 1A. WHY OBAMA CANNOT UNIFY »

This excellent post was written October 22nd, and has been updated to reflect the current reality. It was cross-posted at www.lynettelong.com.
Imagine yourself at the podium talking to a huge crowd, and the words on the teleprompter say things like: "This is the moment that the world is waiting for. . ." or, "I have [...]

“WOMEN: IS THIS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE AND HAS IT BEEN ANSWERED TO YOUR SATISFACTION?” »

Like many of you before this election cycle, I never watched Fox News. In my naivete, I believed they were the bad guys and MoveOn were the good guys. Boy have things changed.
I now go to Fox before any of the other MSM, and while there are several excellent reporters there, my favorite is [...]

“Obama: Learning the limits of his advisers’ class-warfare strategy.” »

Mark Cunningham’s article Why Bam’s Flailing, in the September 10 New York Post, makes clear why Obama’s numbers are slipping and his solid ground has turned to shifting sands. Simply put, Axelrod’s main tactic of stirring up class warfare and playing the race-card in a divide-and-conquer strategy doesn’t work on the national stage. Cunningham writes:
IF [...]

Move On’s (And Others) Rumor Mongering – Updated AGAIN »

A few days ago, I printed an email that Move On sent out with a number of “dangerous” positions that Gov. Palin allegedly holds or actions in which she engaged. A number of them were flat out wrong. It is exactly this kind of “Swiftboating” we all decried when it happened to Kerry. I am [...]

Voter Registration in Denver! »

Voter Registration alive and well in Denver! Several PUMA members were out and about in Denver trying to savor some of the ambiance when they were approached by a group of young people registering voters in Denver. They tried to register this group to vote — all of them are registered voters in other states. [...]

Am I Going To Have To Support This Baby Chick? »

My first thought when I saw the MoveOn ad below was,
“Gee, I really want to suck my thumb.”
But after I saw it on the internets a few times, I realized that this is not what most adults would be thinking if they saw this ad. Instead, they would more likely recognize their own Gen-Y kids [...]

Obama Supporters: “That’s Racist!” »

I received this email today, highlighting once again, how anyone who speaks out against Obama is racist. This is seriously just TOO MUCH!  
Dear Sara,     
Last week I forwarded you an important email from MoveOn, regarding FOX’s use of language against Senator Obama and his wife, Michelle. Many thousands of you joined the petition, and for that [...]

Barack Obama is Coyote Ugly »

Groggy Democrats are waking up with a terrible hangover after a year of drinking the Obama “Magic Elixir” and are getting a good look in the morning light at the real Barack Obama. Holy hair shirt! The dude ain’t the handsome charmer that seduced us. He is looking more and more [...]

Hillary’s Holdouts, and a Message to Obama Supporters »

Bob Ostertag at Huffington Post is urging Obama donors “who are angry about his about-face on the upcoming FISA legislation” to donate instead this month to Russ Feingold’s senate reelection. Feingold, Ostertag says, “is carrying on the fight that Obama walked away from.” Mr. Ostertag notices a “spike” in donations to Feingold. So far, [...]

Oh, My Aching Head… »

So, I was thinking this morning – How many policy changes has Obama made since he proclaimed himself Master of the Universe on June 3, 2008? Some are better known than others, because even some of the big ones had to be covered by the MSM. But let’s see what we can find:
June 4, 2008: [...]

Just Say Anything: Obama’s talking points »

One of the lead stories listed on my Google homepage today was about Obama’s current tour of Middle America, and as the title of the article by Leonard Doyle makes clear, these folks aren’t sure who Obama is:
Obama courts Middle America in attempt to counter ‘antiChrist’ image
If Obama thinks he has problems [...]
