What Change Has Wrought »

Many of us who refrained from drinking the Kool-Aid or smoking the Hopium pipe have commented on all of the “changes” we have gotten under Obama. You know, the high unemployment, rampant foreclosures, runaway debt, deficit spending, and broken promise after broken promise. But there is one other “change” that has reared its ugly head [...]

Obama’s Answer To The Oil Spill »

Oh, it’s a doozy. I admit, using Jon Stewart two times in one week is a bit unusual for me, but hey – it was Obama’s first Oval Office speech, plus it was both telling, and funny, as hell. So here ya go – Obama’s plan: The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs [...]

Has The BP Oil Spill Broken Through… »

The Hopium Haze of Obama’s followers? Well, if Jon Stewart is an example, I’d have to say yes. Larry Johnson finally got me to start watching Stewart again after a long hiatus. The hiatus began when Stewart jumped on the Obama Sycophant Bandwagon. I was very disappointed that Stewart went that route, but he did. [...]

Dirt Has A Way Of Working Out From Under The Rug **Updated** »

We now know that the White House alleges they sent President Clinton to talk to Rep. Joe Sestak about dropping out of the race against Arlen Specter. The White House version is that they were offering him an unpaid job on an Advisory Board, one for which he would have been ineligible. Who is actually [...]

President Obama Wants YOU to Make Hard Choices »

President Obama made a visit to Ottumwa, Iowa Wednesday. As reported by Jake Tapper on ABC’s Political Punch: “We’re going to have to make some tough choices” about the deficit and national debt, President Obama said to a crowded gymnasium full of supporters at Indian Hills Community College, after a lengthy riff on how the [...]

Is The Love Affair Between The Press And Obama Over? »

One would certainly think so if this article is any indication, “Why Reporters Are Down On President Obama“. Color me a bit surprised to learn that reporters were down on Obama. I could be jaded after the overwhelmingly positive articles of him during the election, especially compared to favorable articles on Hillary Clinton, but I [...]

Senator Graham Walks Away From Cap And Trade — Monday’s Roll Out of Bill Postponed »

According to The Hill, Senator Lindsay Graham, who has been working with Senators John Kerry and Joe Leiberman for six months on Cap and Trade Legislation has walked away from the table as he… is upset over Democratic plans to take up immigration legislation this year – he accuses Democratic leaders of pushing forward immigration [...]

President Obama Not Owning Up to His Wall Street Donations »

President Obama and the Democratic Party are now going to attempt to “regulate” Wall Street. I have the feeling it will be handled much like they “regulated” health care – with insurance companies writing the bulk of the bill. So will Goldman Sachs et al be writing this one? In the interest of image management [...]

“The Gays” Are Not Happy With Obama **UPDATED** »

Nope – they surely are not. Seems the LBGT community wants Obama to keep his promise about DADT. Yes, seems they believed him when he said he would get rid of it tout de suite (and I say “they” because I never thought for a second that he gave a damn about our community). This [...]

Obama, Goldman Sachs, and Reform? »

Goldman Sachs has been in the news a bit lately, and with good reason. As Larry Doyle has detailed, the SEC filed a civil suit against Goldman Sachs last week for fraud. Obama is trying to use this recent lawsuit as a way to increase restrictions against Wall Street. And as this LA Times article [...]

Obama: “Tea Partiers Should Be Thanking Me” UPDATED »

Yes, indeed, those were the words that came out of Barack Obama’s mouth last night at a Democratic Fundraiser in Miami, FL. Well, after he said they “amused” him. They “amuse” him?? Considering the Tea Party movement has higher poll numbers than Obama, their momentum should concern him. But that’s not how The arrogant One [...]

What Senator Obama Opposed, President Obama Loves »

I know, I know, that could be any number of things. Obama has, as many of us knew he would, morphed into George W. Bush. Not that his followers will ever admit it, but those of us in the “reality-based community” clearly see who he really is. Just look at his recent flip flopping backtrack [...]

Broken Promise List »

NRO has a post today supposedly listing all of Obama’s broken promises. I have a feeling it’s not entirely comprehensive, so feel free to add others. Here are a few snips. HEALTH CARE NEGOTIATIONS ON C-SPAN STATEMENT: “These negotiations will be on C-SPAN, and so the public will be part of the conversation and will [...]

“I Told You So” (Update) »

Editor’s Update at 7:30 p.m.: Thanks to Larry Johnson, we have received permission to reprint Lynn Forester de Rothschild’s essay in full. Look for it tomorrow. About Barack Obama, as did many of us, but this person is Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, former Democratic Party activist and donor, not to mention a HUGE supporter [...]

A Nut By Any Other Name… »

Is still a nut. You may have heard that ACORN, the group which has received millions of taxpayer dollars, and has misused millions of taxpayer dollars, is restructuring. Along with that comes a name change, to COI (Community Organizations International). I wonder what THAT means (the International part). I shudder to think. Here is the [...]
