Truth or Consequences: Big Media Pays for its Addiction to Obama’s Cult of Personality »

In Newsweek, Howard Fineman opines about The Limits of Charisma. When sycophants like Fineman say “Mr. President, please stay off TV” and are worried enough to warn the President that it’s time to fish or cut bait, we are all in hot water. My fellow writers and I have posted many stories these last two [...]

A Different Kind Of Happy Hour **Open Thread** »

There’s been a whole lot in the news of late about the “Happy Hour Heard ‘Round The World.” You know the one – Sgt. Crowley, Prof. Henry Gates, President Obama, and the party-crashed Joe Biden, sitting down like some regular Joes, just having a brew. Oh, yeah, just hanging out, tossing back a few and [...]

Is This Really Enough? »

I was reading my local paper and came across an article that disturbed me greatly, for a number of reasons, which will become clear beginning with the title of the article: “Ex-Teacher Gets 5 Years For Sex With Teen.” My first thought was, “5 years? FIVE? That’s it? For having sex with a teenager?” Then [...]

“Obama As A Brand” »

Talk about your marketing ploy, which I, along with others, have been doing for a while now (most recently, “The Campaign’s Over, Obama: It’s Time To Lead“). But the incomparable Chris Hedges has done a remarkable job at highlighting just exactly how true that is (and it is true – his campaign won the top [...]

O, Come Let Us Adore Him »

Oh, boy – this is quite some article by Howard Kurtz in the Washington Post (H/T to athy at No Quarter for this article). He really tells it like it is. I wonder if he still has a job there? Just the title alone gives it away: “A Giddy Sense of Boosterism.” Holy Toledo – [...]

This Barack Obama Commercial is More Like It! (& Open Thread) »

Yes! Get your own Barack Obama now! But don’t wait! Limited Quantities! What? No Ginsu Knives??????????!!1111!!!??

Like Last Year’s Fad, Obama already seems so Passé * Open Thread »

Tonight Senator Obama starred in his own prime time special, about Senator Obama. Is it me or is Obama passé? I find his voice — artificially deep to project gravitas — to be just as grating as George W. Bush’s faux-Texas accent. Obama the brand is wearing thin. He has his own hand sign, his [...]

Amen, Hillary! »

Yes, that Hillary. You know, the one who inspired millions of us to support her in this recent primary. We were successful, too – in any other country, she would now be the nominee. But not in the United-Obama-Rezko-Ayers-Wright-Odinga 57 States of America! Nope – in this country, at least one party dismisses the actual [...]

Nuts »

That’s the topic for today. Nuts. This election season seems rife with them, but I will focus on only four for today. First up, we have ACORN. Yes, ACORN has been in the news a good bit recently. Seems the organization Obama has paid $800,000 to register voters has been, um, shall we say, enthusiastic [...]

An Act of God? »

All of Colorado is preparing itself for the Democratic National Convention. Denver is already filling up with anxious participants.  The Secret Service is said to be camped out on downtown rooftops. Some Hillary supporters are arriving in hopes of seeing her name on the ballot, in one form or another. Other people, including the Just Say No Deal/Pumas, [...]

Stating the Obvious »

A prominent conservative Republican has stated the obvious: In a tough year like this, Democrats could probably have defeated Republican John McCain with a flawed, but seasoned candidate like Hillary Clinton. But long-suffering liberals convinced their party to go with a messiah rather than a dependable nominee — and thereby they probably will get neither. [...]

“I AM the One For Whom You Have Been Waiting” »

Obama was waxing lyrical about last week’s trip to Europe, when he concluded, according to the meeting attendee, “this is the moment, as Nancy [Pelosi] noted, that the world is waiting for.” The 200,000 souls who thronged to his speech in Berlin came not just for him, he told the enthralled audience of congressional representatives. [...]

Forgive Them Father »

My colleagues are in high dudgeon today over the outrage perpetrated on The Child in Jerusalem; you know, Notegate at the Wailing Wall. Everyone seems to be SHOCKED, OUTRAGED and DEEPLY OFFENDED that The Chosen One could be made to suffer such an indignity, such a gross violation of privacy. This infraction is so completely [...]

The Messiah »

Written and read by Gerard Baker of the Times of London: He ventured forth to bring light to the world The anointed one’s pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action – and a blessing to all his faithful followers

The Adulation of a Leader: a Cautionary Tale »

Barack Obama broke with tradition when he moved the Democratic National Committee from DC to Chicago. For many of us, this move emphasized the merger of the Obama campaign with the Democratic Party. And to many of us, that merger made clear that the Democratic Party no longer belongs to the people, it belongs to [...]
