Ted Van Dyk’s article in today’s WSJ, Obama Needs to ‘Reset’ His Presidency cautions that Obama must take a time out and find “a reset button for domestic policy.” Interesting that he uses the words “time out” – something one would tell a misbehaving child. Surely, the President’s reckless spending and use of [...]

As you know no doubt know, Obama just took his first big trip abroad as president … to Ottawa. That got me to thinking - it has been almost a year since Canadian TV reported that Obama’s aide, Austan Goolsbee, was assuring Canada that NAFTA was safe and sound, despite Obama’s campaign promises to [...]

The American populace knows that the primary architects in the formulation of the Stimulus Plan working its way through Congress are Rahm Emanuel, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid. This contingent, along with President Obama, have not [...]

The AFL-CIO endorsed Obama. They have released two mailers. The first mailer is here:
• “Does he wear a flag pin on his lapel? Yes, but not always. Like many presidential candidates, sometimes he wears a flag pin, sometimes he wears a breast cancer awareness pin, sometimes he wears his U.S. Senate [...]

See also, the true story about that 2002 Iraq speech, so little noted that it wasn’t videotaped or even covered in Chicago media, forcing the Obama campaign to “recreate” the speech, as reported by NPR: “The Staged Iraq War Speech & More “Creative” Embellishments.”
This means, of course, that we have to take creative [...]

Washington DC, June 21 — Tonight political prisoner Larry Sinclair is spending his fourth night in the DC Jail, the victim of a Gestapo-style enemies’ list operation carried out just three blocks from the White House last Wednesday afternoon.
Sinclair had come to the National Press Club to detail his [...]

“I have always opposed NAFTA.”
“I don’t think NAFTA has been good for America - and I never have.”
“Ten years after NAFTA passed, Senator Clinton said it was good for America. … Well, I don’t think NAFTA has been good for America - and I never have.” –Senator Barack Obama in Toledo, Ohio on February [...]

I just heard on Fox News that Obama today is attacking John McCain for advocating the privatization of Social Security. Oh the irony. I keep asking everyone to read RonK Seattle’s investigative reports on the policy positions of Barack Obama’s economic advisers. You may read all of RonK Seattle’s diaries published at Daily Kos or [...]

Susan’s Update: ABC News’s Jake Tapper, in today’s post, “Obama is Smokin’” — uh huh, there are suspicions — concludes with this:
I don’t like feeling that I wasn’t being dealt with honestly [about if he's smoking or not]. …
This isn’t the only time I’ve felt that way about the Obama campaign, of course — its [...]

Vetting our two Democratic presidential candidates has definitely been a mixed bag. On one hand, Hillary Clinton’s life and political history has been in the news and reported online for many years. Barack Obama is another deal. He has essentially gotten a free ride in the national media, only being questioned seriously [...]

My, Barack Obama’s advisers and officials are contributing quite a little heap of embarrassments to his campaign, aren’t they?
First, there was Austan Goolsbee’s little chat with the Canadians about NAFTA (Obama didn’t mean it) that the bad Canadians totally misunderstood and twisted out of context. Then Samantha Power told [...]

Larry Johnson writes that “Obama and His Advisors [Are] Not Ready for Prime Time.” Truer words, truer words — but the thing is that they ARE his primary advisers, minus the now-guillotined Samantha Power.
And there’s that he needs more than the usual number of advisers because he has a tendency to push the [...]

There is the “the Famous Rule of the 2008 Election - W.O.R.M. (What Obama Really Meant),” used by the media and Obama’s supplicants to explain away every hitch. However, there’s evidence the “W.O.R.M.” is turning across the national media. Besides the Newsday and the Chicago Sun-Times stories cited below, there’s the NY Daily News [...]

UPDATE: At the conclusion, there’s now a fully sourced timeline of Obama’s denials of this meeting, now obliterated by the emergence of the Canadian diplomats’ memorandum distributed widely to Canadian officials — and now in the hands not only of the A.P. but CNN’s John Roberts, who waved a copy as he reported the story [...]
