Mr. President, Why Did You Want This Job? »

I would like an answer to my question. How can someone be so determined to knock everyone else off the stage that he would spend nearly a billion dollars to do it, and when his waffling and doubling dealing in office don’t yield the desired result, blame President Bush and everyone else under the [...]

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 [...]

“Capricious”: Obama’s GM Power Grab »

See, this is what worries me most. As Nocturnal Warrior said over and over again tonight on his otherwise light and hilarious show, we have the “Resume President.” And this move was solely because Obama’d been perceived as soft on AIG, so he wanted to be seen as tough, and add “Tough Guy” [...]

Krugman Pounds Away At Geithner’s Recycled Toxic Assets Plan »

Here’s Paul Krugman, on camera, on Geithner’s “toxic assets” plan, announced Monday: “This is something they can do without legislation. They found a way that they can in effect put the public on the hook for a TRILLION DOLLARS for this stuff without actually getting any approval.” It can be done through the FDIC and [...]

Jake Tapper: Obama Claims He Has “Accomplished More in 30 Days Than Any President in Modern History” »

From Jake Tapper’s Political Punch, before THE speech by THE One last night:
"President Obama has accomplished more in 30 days than any president in modern history," a senior White House official said this morning in a background briefing for TV reporters.

Wither Goest Your Sex Fantasies? * Open Thread »

No, I’m not Doctor Ruth. I’m just a flabbergasted former subscriber to the New York Times who read THIS Judith Warner drivel (which cannot be news or even worthy of commentary) the other day in that once-esteemed, once-great newspaper:
The other night I dreamt of Barack Obama. He was taking a shower right when I [...]

Is Barack Obama on the Precipice of Becoming Jimmy Carter? »

We are only sixteen days into the age of the new messiah and his angel wings are in danger of falling off.
Consider, for example, that The One promised a new way of doing business in Washington but is responsible for managing the vetting of prospective nominees that green-lights not one but three tax [...]

FIRST THINGS FIRST: I got the greatest letter today from Ann Lewis, sent out to all of Hillary’s devoted supporters. Below the fold is the full letter, but the first thing you want to do is go to NoLimits.org and sign up. No money is involved. It’s very simple and positive! This [...]

This ‘Toon Says It All * Open Thread »

Special thanks to Catlibber for sending me this cartoon! This ‘toon brings to mind a link that Larry sent me earlier today, about Obama’s performance to date — if he’s kept his campaign promises, or not, and which ones he has yet to do anything about:

Not just a fair-weather friend »

Larry Johnson, my friend, posted his personal view on statements of hatred towards Obama. It brings forward a simple question; Do we have among us those who have decided they are married to their hatred? Was it only our severe scrutiny of Obama that attracted you? Or are you interested in joining us to continue [...]

If This Is A Feminist… »

Then I have been mislabeling myself for the past 36 years. See, I thought a feminist was someone who believed in women’s equality, who believed that women’s rights were human rights, who believed that women had the right to make decisions about our own bodies, that women had the right to equal pay, and [...]

Spinning Heads »

(Talk about a hot story and ‘toon! * Bumped up by Lena nasuS)

I never even imagined that I could have the last laugh in this election. I was resigned to feeling like a beat-up old hound dog after the assaults so many of us took from some Obama supporters.
Oh, I am not laughing at [...]

The terrible danger of a personality cult »

A number of videos and comments on Youtube and elsewhere have compared the personality cult surrounding Barack Obama with Adolph Hitler, drawing parallels among other things with the way that thuggish supporters have tried to silence Obama’s opponents, the way people like the Black Panthers - in a manner similar to Hitler’s Brownshirts - tried [...]

Open Thread * Pop The Dumbo’s Balloon »

There are few bloggers more dense and truly offensive — in a venal way — than John Cole at Balloon Juice.
There were times that TalkLeft’s Big Tent Democrat (BTD) — who used to be Armando, a very powerful player at Daily Kos, until … (we won’t go there) — made a WHOLE LOT of sense [...]
