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??? [...]

“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 [...]

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 [...]

Open Thread * The Media Need an Editor * What’s the Big Deal with This New Senator? Why the Cameras? The Fuss? »

What in the hell? MSNBC is advertising about its coverage of Inauguration Day, saying:
In the nation’s capitol, on the brink of history, the hour approaches …
If January 20th marks the “brink of history,” what have we been living in so far? And won’t the Visigoths, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Mesopotamians be just a [...]

The Lines Are Buzzing… »

With the possibility that Paterson will pick Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg after all. Sigh. Between the crapola with Burris and Kennedy, I scarcely recognize our form of government any more. But it is not yet a done deal on Kennedy Schlossberg, so this isn’t about that specifically.
Rather, I want to share [...]

What Is WRONG With These People??? »

Oh, brother. I just happened to see the following video last night, and could not believe the first story in it. I had to look it up for myself. Anyway, here is the video:

Can you believe that about the school changing its name to Barack Obama Elementary?? Sadly, it is [...]

Why Is Obama Pushing Daley’s Plan for Chicago to Host Olympics in 2016? »

Just as Daley controlled Obama in Chicago, Daley will control Obama in Washington, DC. I quote the Chicago Tribune with added emphasis:
It didn’t take long for Barack Obama to start playing a significant role in promoting Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
About 15 minutes into Chicago’s Friday presentation of its bid plans to [...]

“What Sarah Palin Taught Us” and Hillary 2012 »

Many of us seem to be on a roll these days - the roll being calling out the degrading treatment of women by the Democratic Party. Yet, those loyal female Democrats are all too willing to accept this treatment, and vote for The One who stole this nomination from Hillary Clinton, aided and abetted [...]

“Brother, Can You Spare A Dime,” Or More Like… »

“Give me all your money - I’m the government! I know how best to spend your hard earned wages - I’ll SHARE them with whomever I choose worthy! And while I’m at it, maybe I’ll take over your 401(k)s too, and give you a WHOPPING 3% interest on your “investment!
Aren’t I BENEVOLENT???” [...]

Ipso facto, The Deep Connections between Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Unrepentant Terrorist Bill Ayers Are Established »

SusanUnPC’s Note: It is critical to read below the fold, where you will see these three paragraphs:
[Bill] Ayers will be joined by Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the University of Chicago Law School, who is working to block proposed legislation that would throw more juvenile offenders into the adult system; Randolph Stone, [...]

About the Financial Institution Mentioned in the Sun-Times: Obama, Tony Rezko, Amrish Mahajan, the Kenwood Mansion & Rita Rezko »

**********Truthteller asks bloggers and reporters to direct their attention to Amrish Mahajan and the Mutual Bank of Harvey.**********
Mike Robinson’s AP article entitled “Obama Fundraiser, Convicted of Fraud, Spills Beans,” corroborates what we at No Quarter have been writing for weeks: Antoin “Tony” Rezko is cooperating with federal prosecutors interested in Barack Obama. While the [...]

it isn’t coincidence…there is a pattern »

But sadly, too many people choose to ignore it, or accept it, or just call you a racist for noticing it. But the pattern is there. It begins like this:
Obama has a friend or associate that is questionable.
Video or articles surface of Obama thanking them, supporting them, writing a blurb for their book, organizing events [...]

“You Got To Know…” »

When to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em; know when to walk away, and know when to run…” Ah, yes - that classic Kenny Rogers song. Well, apparently, Larry Walsh didn’t know when to walk away or when to run. Who is Larry Walsh, you ask? No, he is not [...]

Rezko Speaks, Prosecutors Interested in Obama Listen »

No Quarter reproduced Rezko’s letter to Judge Amy St. Eve dated 9 JUN 2008 in an essay I published on 12 JUN 2008. I quote Antoin “Tony” Rezko:
Your Honor, the prosecutors have been overzealous in pursuing a crime that never happened. They are pressuring me to tell them the “wrong” things that I supposedly [...]

“CHICAGO MACHINE” »

At the end of his rather provocative story today, Eastan already posted this new video, but just in case you missed it, it’s worth posting above the fold. The campaign couldn’t list all of Obama’s Chicago cronies, so I’ve added some names for you to checkout in the Category list above the story.

In mid-June, [...]

Sorry, Charlie »

Rangel - you are a freakin’ IDIOT. How dare you refer to the Republican Vice Presidential Candidate as “disabled”?? Are you NUTS??? You are the Chair of the incredibly powerful House Ways and Means Committee, and you are making these kinds of statements? What, are you in Junior High School or [...]

Shameful and Downright Perverse: The Traditional Media and Obama’s Support of Sex Shops and Kindergarten Sex Education »

It seems everyone from Bill Burton of the Obama campaign to Jonathan Alter of Newsweek is in a frenzy over the following advertisement aired by the McCain campaign:

Here is Bill Burton’s predictably sanctimonious response:
“It is shameful and downright perverse for the McCain campaign to use a bill that was written to protect young children from [...]

Barack, Michelle, Bill Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn—It’s Not Just The Lies »

Why is Barack Obama and his campaign lying about his relationship and association with William “Bill” Ayers? Consider what Obama said on April 16, 2008 when asked about Ayers at the ABC Primary Debate in Philadelphia:
“This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago who I know [...]

SERIOUSLY??? »

In today’s New York Times, Elisabeth Bumiller has a piece on Sarah Palin, of course. She is the hot topic right now, that’s for sure. Here is the title of Bumiller’s article: “Disclosures on Palin Raise Questions on Vetting Process.” Questions on PALIN are raising concerns about vetting? For real? Oh, yes, because apparently, her [...]

Obama Steals Hope »

Here’s an awesomely revealing video produced by DemocracyDame,
See what Barack Obama has been able to “achieve” in Chicago. Perhaps we could expect the same from him as a President. Maybe he can give Tony Rezko a pardon and put him in charge of HUD.
