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 after [...]

The Left Reviews the GOP Budget [Update] »

(Just in case: I’m joshing with you below! UPDATE Question: Why are the Brits calling Michelle “mite-y”? That’s NOT very nice!) You silly fools who praised the speech and writings of Rep. Paul Ryan! Honestly! What’s WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??? Here’s what TPM’s Josh Marshall has to say about Rep. Ryan and the idiots (that’d [...]

Novelty Always Evaporates »

David Axelrod manufactures commodities, not politicians: they don suits; they read teleprompters; they promise something new and unprecedented; but these newfangled objects cannot govern. No, I am not referring to Barack Obama, although this news does not bode well for Axelrod’s latest product; I am discussing Deval Patrick, who according to a 7News Boston poll [...]

Moderate Democrats Resist »

If you read Larry Johnson’s “The Truth on the CBO Budget Projections,” you must see this video and another of Judd Gregg on Fox News tonight in response to Obama’s snoozer of a press conference (btw, did you notice how he avoided print journalists?): Embedded video from CNN Video BELOW, Judd Gregg and clips from [...]

Remembering The Past Is A Key To The Present »

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 renegotiate [...]

“An $800 Billion Mistake”… »

Editor’s Note: Don’t miss Larry Doyle’s radio show tonight at 8 p.m. ET, “No Quarter’s Dollars and Sense with LD.” ******************************************** 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, [...]

AFL-CIO Reminds Us About Obama Rumors »

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 membership pin and [...]

Barack Obama: A Bold-Faced Liar? »

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 marketing [...]

FREE LARRY SINCLAIR, OBAMA’S POLITICAL PRISONER »

By Webster G. Tarpley 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 charges [...]

Obama on NAFTA: Against It Before He Was For It »

“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 [...]

Obama’s Nerve: Attacking McCain on Social Security »

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 [...]

NAFTA Again? Goolsbee Again? Is Obama Smokin’ Again (or all along)? »

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 [...]

Barack “I-didn’t-know” Obama »

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 when the news [...]

Obama’s Advisers: Less Progressive than Advertised? »

I blog at Buck Naked Politics. _______________________ 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 [...]

Square These, Sen. Obama (Pt. II) »

“Empty Promises” (a host of them):
