Now THERE is a headline I can get behind, from the National Journal. Yes, a variety of sources are reporting today that Democratic pollsters are a bit concerned about Obama’s re-election campaign, and what would happen should he get (NOOOO!) a second term. I gotta tell you, this is a welcome headline indeed. And just [...]

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 [...]

That would be the Obama Administration response to the economic crisis in which we find ourselves. Oh, wait – I’m sorry, I meant to say the “bump in the road” we are enduring. Pay no attention to the rising unemployment numbers, the falling number of jobs created, or the continuing decline of housing market. 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 [...]

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a surprise visit to the TED Women Conference recently, and spoke about the importance of empowering women and girls. Of course, anyone who has followed Clinton’s career knows this is an issue that is near and dear to her heart. Clinton has long worked for the empowerment of women [...]

“You’re either with us, or you’re not,” so says Dr. Wilmer Leon, a radio talk show host, about Obama and the African American community, in this article by Caroline May in The Daily Caller, “African-American Leaders And Intellectuals Express Dissatisfaction With President Obama.” Oopsie daisy – sounds like another faction unhappy with Dear Leader. The [...]

Well, the special elections have been held, the ballots counted, and Nikki Haley beat out her RNC competitor, Barrett Gresham, by a lot. She will now run to be the first female governor of South Carolina. Chances are good she will succeed, too. She is one of many, as this article highlights, Women Pounding on [...]

I have never understood this whole meme about how even-keeled Obama is, how eloquent, how brilliant, how “likeable,” how “unflappable,” blah, blah, blah. All evidence to the contrary does not seem to sway our “intrepid” media. Fortunately, though, some people (besides us) are seeing Obama for who he is as this article highlights (h/t to [...]

Oh, wait – I forgot. Women aren’t supposed to be sarcastic. We’re supposed to be demure, laughing politely at every dumb joke some man tells, and especially, when it comes to politics, we dare not act as if we know better than a man, well anything. And to use sarcasm?? Oh, how dare we! This [...]

* Bumped Up * So, with all the hot water many Democrats are in now, aided by the new book, Game Change, no doubt the fundraising calls will get more and more insistent. They have to overcome not just what was in the book, but stories like this from the Washington Post, “Sen. Reid and [...]

^ ^ ^ bumped up ^ ^ ^ So the other night, Obama had his big Afghanistan speech. Finally, after months of waiting for a decision regarding the request by General McChrystal, Obama laid out his plan, pretty much what had been telegraphed to us before the speech (yet, he still had to get in [...]

By now, most everyone has heard that President Carter claimed people who don’t support Obama do so because they are racists. Wow. Obviously, this is shocking on the face of it. If you have not heard this, the video is below. I also recommend two very good posts on this topic, one by pm317, and [...]

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 [...]

Someone’s lack of qualifications and substantive experience is showing — SEE Ambassador Joseph Wilson in Update #2 — and someone is depicting us United States citizens as beggars grateful for insultingly thin gruel while someone (that’d be President Barack Obama [PBO]) is being “played” by leaders of fellow NATO nations who know they can get [...]

No, I am not talking about Bush. But I can’t escape the feeling that I am looking at a Bush redux. It seems that the autocue technique is not enough for President Obama. His handlers now think he needs in addition to a teleprompter, a hidden computer screen on the podium during his press conferences, [...]
