Obama’s Increasing Disdain For The Press »

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 [...]

“He’s Done Everything Wrong” – Hell Hath No Fury… »

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 [...]

The Church Of Obama Is Losing Members »

^ ^ ^ 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).

If You Control The Message, You Control It All »

Thus proclaims the White House Communications Director, Anita Dunn. Of course, many of us actually knew this already, or strongly suspected that was the case. How nice to have someone in Obama’s administration, someone pretty high up,confirm it: President Obama’s presidential campaign focused on “making” the news media cover certain issues while rarely communicating anything [...]

ACORN Recycled At The Republican National Convention »

According to Michelle Malkin, the “far left” was not at all amused by Rudy Giuliani’s joke about Obama’s “community organizing” days. And they were even less amused by Governor Sarah Palin’s replay of Obama’s days in Chicago. Malkin had this to say: I laughed out loud when Giuliani laughed out loud while noting Barack Obama’s [...]

Politically Tone Deaf, Morally Bereft; The Cowardly Obama Campaign Strikes Again »

The Obama campaign’s idea of political courage is to run it up a flagpole and see what they can get away with. Then when it doesn’t work, pretend they weren’t really trying to do it in the first place. Not unlike a naughty child who just threw a water balloon at teacher and doesn’t want [...]

The TheirBarackObama Begging Site »

How fitting that the Obama Campaign is on its way to regretting the decision made by their Arrogant Selected Ass to forgo public financing. First, they didn’t meet their lofty goals for June.

Plouffe the Magic Dragon »

You’ve got to hand it to David Plouffe (pronounced Pluff), even though he rarely makes headlines, hates to have his photo taken, and prefers to attend to the mechanics of the Obama campaign out of sight. As its manager, Plouffe planned a ground game like no other before him. How else could an unknown, inexperienced [...]
