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 [...]

I imagine by now you have heard all about Obama’s latest snitch program, “Attack Watch.” This is a program funded, well, by YOU, for people to go and rat out their friends, families, and neighbors, who dare to say something negative about Obama. Even if it is true. Remember the days when we all hooted [...]

* As Stephen Colbert might say. Mr. Transparency has added yet another position to the White House. That would be the Director of Progressive Media & Online Response. The point of this position? Well, it would seem to smack down any negative story that might arise about Obama. We can’t have THAT, after all. I [...]

So speaketh Bill O’Reilly, who gets major props from Jon Stewart for saying so. The Business Insider has this headline declaring the Good News, “HALLELUJAH! Jon Stewart Thanks Bill O’Reilly For Smacking Down Trump’s Birther Nonsense.” O’Reilly responded to the issue since Donald Trump brought it up again. But that is not the point of [...]

Yes, indeedy, as time goes by, the media is starting to shake off its KoolAide induced haze, and are beginning to see that – SURPRISE – Obama is a (Chicago-style) politician!! Wow! Who knew? Ahem. Many of us did, that’s who. Bernie Goldberg discussed Obama’s Fall from the MSM’s “slobbering love affair” recently, based on [...]

/ Bumped Up / UPDATE: Two of them, actually. Since I am in my hometown after having seen my orthopaedist, and have to get something from my mom’s house (now my brother’s house), I have this on the jobs front. This came in on Friday, to add to the high Unemployment filings for the last [...]

/ Bumped up / Please pardon my dust, but I could not let this pass without comment. In Politics Daily, correspondent Lynn Sweet covered an interview President Obama gave to ABC news in which he said his daughters Sasha and Malia may be looking for babysitting jobs to supplement their allowance. While that certainly is [...]

ABC’s Sunlen Miller reports on Political Punch: While visiting with Louisianan residents last week during his trip to Grand Isle, President Obama expressed a little frustration that he was not able to plug to hole still spewing oil in the Gulf by himself. “Even though I am President of the United States my powers are [...]

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 [...]

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 * Well, it seems like it is finally happening. The world community to which Obama pandered during the campaign is starting to realize what many Americans now know (and some of us always did): He’s not all he’s cracked up to be. In this article from Spiegel, “Obama’s Nice Guy Act Gets [...]

Okay, I admit it – I have tried to be in total denial about the following interview of Secretary of State Clinton and Ann Curry. My aunt sent me the pertinent quote earlier this week, and I just didn’t want to believe it. I still don’t want to believe it, to be honest. It makes [...]

(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, [...]

In Uppity’s earlier piece on “You’ve Been Stimulated” she presents John Boehner’s video about the indecent speed with which the “stimulus package” was passed. No doubt I will have the Obots screaming again about being partisan in siding with a Republican spokesman about the “stimulus package”, but GOP Congressional leader John Boehner raises a very [...]

For those of you who may not be aware of the fact, Thomas Malthus was the Chicken Little of economics and the guy who created the concept of the “Malthusian Catastrophe”, with his predictions that the world would soon run out of food and other resources because of the rapid growth in the world’s population.
