Well, well, well. All kinds of people are coming out of the woodwork suggesting Hillary Clinton oughta give Obama a run for him money. From the recent Chicago Tribune Editorial by Steve Chapman in which he exhorts Obama to step down, and Clinton to step up, to Dick Cheney, who not only suggested she would [...]

Tom Junod of Esquire, who recently shocked himself by doing a rather complimentary piece on Secretary Clinton acknowledging her “unforgivable competence” and tireless work ethic, has also shocked himself by falling to earth regarding his assessment of President Obama. In his piece, Why President Obama Will Never Be Barack Obama Again, Junod joins the circular [...]

I have never understood this whole meme about how even-keeled Obama is, how eloquent, how brilliant, how “likeable,” how “unflappable,” blah, blah, blah. All evidence to the contrary does not seem to sway our “intrepid” media. Fortunately, though, some people (besides us) are seeing Obama for who he is as this article highlights (h/t to [...]

Well, this is a fine how-do-you-do for a press that was completely sycophantic for Obama, did his bidding, published whatever he, Plouffe, or Axelrod claimed about Obama without EVER bothering to look it up (except for a very, very few intrepid reporters, like John Kass and Lynn Sweet, both out of Chicago). The same press [...]

AP reported today that President Obama once again told people they shouldn’t waste their hard earned dough in Vegas. Writer Oskar Garcia details the shock of several lawmakers as Obama carelessly singled out Vegas yet again. (Be sure to check out the video below the fold.) Their economy is based on tourism and his comments [...]

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 slipping away, don’t [...]

* Bumped up from January 7, 2010. * I love John Kass of the Chicago Tribune. He is one of the very, very few columnists who tried to warn us about Obama, Obama’s record (or lack thereof), how he came to be a Senator, and all about Chicago Politics. Simply put, he was a voice [...]

^ ^ ^ Bumped up ^ ^ ^ This is perfect Sunday fare, and rich coming from someone who routinely appeared with Keith Olbermann on Countdown (until they broke up back in August last year). That would be Dana Milbank. Oh, yes, this is priceless: Obama The Mortal Some parishioners in the Church of Obama [...]

(Bumped up Saturday a.m. from Friday afternoon.) With Fox News against the White House attempt to censor the cable network. Check that, to shut DOWN the network. I am assuming that, by now, you have heard of the concentrated attacks on the Fox News Network by Administration officials, and the president himself. Larry Johnson had [...]

One just has to wonder what prompted the child in the video below to ask Obama the question he did. Maybe people in his household were decrying the lack of it, or maybe this child was picking up on the animosity in the air, or maybe he just wanted to share the good news of [...]

(bumped up from Thursday morning) Yesterday I was appalled to watch the Speaker of the House comment on Press Secretary Robert Gibbs’ assertion that the anger at these town halls over health care reform is “manufactured”. The reporter asked, “Do you think there is legitimate grassroots opposition going on out there?” Nancy Pelosi made the [...]

(bumped up from Monday afternoon) One can only hope. Oh, hahaha – “hope” – yes, it is a part of this story. “Hope and Change” – sound familiar? It should, not just for Barack Obama, but for his buddy for whom this strategy was tested: Deval Patrick. Oh yes, in case you didn’t already know, [...]

Thus writes John Kass in the excellent article by the same name, The campaign’s over, Obama; it’s time to lead (Major h/t to my friend, SusanUnPC for the heads up on this article). No freakin’ kidding – Obama needs to stop with all of the damn press conferences (can you believe he is getting ready [...]

Today the American Association for Public Opinion Research Ad Hoc Committee on the 2008 Presidential Primary Polling released a pdf report on the methodologies utilized by pollsters during the Democratic primaries. It is a long report, and a cursory analysis of it is available at Pollster.com. Much of the report focuses on the discrepancy between [...]
