Senators Blocked Clinton, But Will They Block Obama? »

Recently, I had a post aboutSenator Robert C. Byrd, and his opposition to using Reconciliation to pass Healthcare. Recently, he seemed to leave the door open for Reconciliation in a recent letter to the Charleston (WVA) Daily Mail. Given his inimitable performance on the Senate Floor during Bill Clinton’s presidency on this very issue, [...]

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 [...]

DADT Repeal Won’t Make It Into The SOTU »

As we all know, Obama will be making his first SOTU address this week, though thankfully, the time will not conflict with the season premiere of “Lost.” I’m not kidding. That’s for real (and if you want to see a funny video on the whole “Lost” fan thing, click for an Onion [...]

“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 [...]

Do You Hear Us Now?? *Updated x2* »

* Bumped up (Amy discusses Lynn de Rothschild’s article, one of the hottest stories circulating on the ‘net) *
Well, it’s official: Scott Brown won the US Senate seat in Massachusetts, easily one of the most liberal states in the Union. Brown’s win is the first by a Republican in that state since 1972. Holy moley. [...]

Well, SOMEONE Is Having A Good Year »

And that would be lobbyists. Yes, the group singled out repeatedly by President Obama when he was Candidate Obama is having one of their best years EVER. Apparently, the agenda of the Democrats is really helping them out. Oh, yay!
Doesn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Yeah, [...]

“Are Hillary Clinton Supporters Murmuring I Told You So?” »

Hell no, we haven’t been “murmuring.” We’ve been yelling it from the damn rooftops for months and months now! Oh, um, yeah, let me take a step back. So there’s this article by Marc Rubin entitled, you guessed it, “Are Hillary Supporters Murmuring I Told You So?“.
Welcome to the party, [...]

500 Broken Promises »

On the eve of Veteran’s Day, 500 service people have been discharged from the military under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” A policy Campaigner in Chief, Barack Obama, claimed he would end once he became Waffler In Chief. In the first actual interview with the GLBT media The Advocate during the campaign, he said:

Who’s Coming To Hang Out With Obama In Our White House? »

You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it [...]

Yep, It’s His Mess Now »

(Bumped up from Saturday.)
General McChrystal’s proposal for Afghanistan has been on Obama’s desk for almost two months now. And what is Obama doing about it? Well, he appears to be deciding on how to decide what his decision will be, but he’s not there yet. Nope, instead, he is throwing up some smokescreen [...]

Feeling The Love? »

One just has to wonder what prompted the child in the video below to ask Obama the question he did. Maybe people in his household were decrying the lack of it, or maybe this child was picking up on the animosity in the air, or maybe he just wanted to share the good news [...]

Say It Ain’t So, Hillary, Say It Ain’t So! »

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. [...]

Allow Me To Introduce You To… »

Dr. Sima Samar. Now, some of you may know who she is already. For those who do not, or for those who are want to learn more, this is for you. (H/t to my aunt for sending me a mini biography on her, and to American Girl in Italy for mentioning her [...]

Wednesday, October 7, 2009, marks the 8th Anniversary of the US War in Afghanistan. And, at this point, President Obama is trying to decide how he wants to go forward in Afghanistan:

Are You Tired Of Seeing… »

Photos like this every single day, especially as The One Who Thinks He Is King and his wife, thought their awesomeness would win Chicago the 2016 Olympics:
