Turns Out Obama’s Current Message Is Just Like His Old Message *Open Thread* »

Well, well, well, seems Barack Obama’s message isn’t as Fresh! and New! as we were led to believe it was. Recently discovered was this 2004 ad campaign by Barack Obama, complete with his fake Southern sing-songy accent (though as the Daily Caller article points out, he was in a church so you know, he had [...]

The Day Has Finally Come *Updated* »

Update below the fold. No, not Election Day, though yeah, that’s right around the corner (thank heavens). No, I mean my very last visit with my Physical Therapist. YAY!!! And he came about an hour earlier than usual, too, so that was good. Oh, what a relief. Not that I am done with physical therapy, [...]

The Conversation Continues…**Update** »

**update – “Amy’s surgery went well and she now has a brand new titanium right knee!  Thanks to all for your good thoughts and prayers today.”** Well, this will be my last post for a while. Again, I want to thank everyone for their warm support and encouragement of me as I prepare to have [...]

A Bit Of A Follow Up To Trumka And Palin *Open Thread* »

To my recent post about Palin and the new McCarthyism. Michelle Malkin had this post about how President Obama will be spending his Labor day, “Obama spending Labor Day with real thugs.” Wanna guess who? That’s right, Richard Trumka. And why would Malkin say such a thing in her post? This is why: [snip] Trumka [...]

“The Ties That Bind…” »

You know, for an Administration that campaigned on “Transparency,” there sure seems to be a whole lot of opaqueness when it comes to Obama and those who pushed him to prominence. Take, for example, Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. He has some mighty interesting Connections, as this article highlights, The Ties That Bind. Remember [...]

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 [...]

Rahm Emanuel And The Chicago Way »

* Bumped up from January 7, 2010. * I love John Kass of the Chicago Tribune. He is one of the very, very few columnists who tried to warn us about Obama, Obama’s record (or lack thereof), how he came to be a Senator, and all about Chicago Politics. Simply put, he was a voice [...]

It’s All About The Connections »

One might think that as a minister type, I am talking about how connected we all are, one to another, all over the world. Well, okay, there is this, “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part,” one of the Seven Principles and Purposes of the UUA, to which [...]

good news, obama really didn’t know what wright was preaching all those years. »

Apparently Obama really didn’t know all the vile hate Reverend Wright was preaching at Trinity United. He just lied about being a faithful churchgoer to garner votes. It was all just a big fabrication to make Obama out to be the good christian, who attended church every Sunday, at 11am. Jeff Poor reports on newsbusters.com [...]

The First One Hundred Days »

Is that all? Sigh – it seems like this has been going on forever. Maybe it’s just the MSM’s continued fawning over Obama, like yelling to the rafters what a HIGH poll number he has. Okay, it is more than half, but they are going this nuts over 56%? Seriously??? Wow, I guess it is [...]

“The Campaign’s Over, Obama; It’s Time To Lead” »

Thus writes John Kass in the excellent article by the same name, The campaign’s over, Obama; it’s time to lead (Major h/t to my friend, SusanUnPC for the heads up on this article). No freakin’ kidding – Obama needs to stop with all of the damn press conferences (can you believe he is getting ready [...]

Jane Harman and Rod Blagojevich »

(Editor’s Note: Stay tuned for Part II later this evening.) CQ Politics: "Rep. Jane Harman, the California Democrat with a longtime involvement in intelligence issues, was overheard on an NSA wiretap telling a suspected Israeli agent that she would lobby the Justice Department to reduce espionage-related charges against two officials of the American Israeli Public [...]

Is He Kidding, Or Unclear On The Concept? »

You don’t have to be a Yankees fan (which I am) to have heard the recent brouhaha over Alex Rodriquez (I’m a Derek Jeter fan myself), and his acknowledgment that he used steroids back in 2001 – 2003. It is disturbing, of course – I deplore the use of steroids in baseball (though at the [...]

Salient archive post #2: Obama and Blago: I fought the machine and the machine won…. »

Editor’s Note: Because Paula Abeles’ special No Quarter Radio guest tonight is David Alinsky, the son of the father of “community organizing,” Saul Alinsky, we are republishing relevant past articles. (See Bud White’s post earlier today.) This story by law professor Stephen Diamond was originally published on December 14, 2008. David Alinsky will reminisce about [...]

How I Love Blago, let me count the ways »

On the eve of Obama’s historic inauguration, the Democrats allowed themselves to be outfoxed by a craven scum eater.
