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 [...]

More “Birther Nonsense” »

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 [...]

GLBT People Finally Getting A Clue »

Well, Obama is pandering to the GLBT community again. He gave a speech to the Human RIghts Campaign Friday, October 9th. Personally, I think he was trying to ward off the big-ass march planned against him in DC byt the GLBT community. It didn’t work, I might add. Seems some folks are beginning to (FINALLY) [...]

“Obama To Tackle Gay Law, Aide Says” »

That’s the headline I saw Monday morning at AOL . Of course my response was, “Whaaa” For real?? How fortuitous since General McChrystal is saying we need more troops in Afghanistan! Is this true??” And then I read the article. The short answer is, “No.” Here is the article: President Barack Obama will focus “at [...]

Them’s Fightin’ Words »

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 [...]

While Obama Continues to Erect Roadblocks, Congress Presses to End “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” Policy »

The only reason I’m writing this story about gays in the military instead of the true expert, Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy, who’s hammered President Obama for not carrying through with his campaign promises to revoke “don’t ask don’t tell” — is that I happened to catch a segment on upcoming Armed Services hearing to end [...]

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 [...]

Which Way Will He Go? »

Alert NQ reader, CG, provided the link to this article, and asked me what I thought about it. Here’s the article: Obama on Spot Over a Benefit to Gay Couples Just seven weeks into office, President Obama is being forced to confront one of the most sensitive social and political issues of the day: whether [...]

Gimme That Old Time Religion – Updated (H/T – SusanUnPC) »

I’ve got some astonishing news about President Obama’s “faith groups,” the 15 meetings that Obama and staff have held so far with these faith groups, and the kinds of faith leaders he’s inviting, including the notorious Rev. James Meeks. What is even more astonishing is how little press this is getting – 15 meetings with [...]

Well, Golly Gee, Anne, That Will Learn Him! »

As in Anne Hathaway, an actress I actually like, and one whose movies I have seen (yes, both Princess Diaries – what’s your point??!). She has taken such a strong stand, I am sure you will agree, on an important issue. Oh, yes – I am talking, of course, about her decision to NOT turn [...]

Chicago Politics »

I saw this headline in my local paper, “Illinois Corruption: Deep Roots, Tough to Weed Out” an AP piece by Sharon Cohen. In this piece, she details the long, long history of corruption in Chicago, and Illinois, politics. Also in this lengthy article, the only mention of Obama, the man who chose to move to [...]

AYERS VIDEO on Hardball with Chris Matthews »

CHRIS MATTHEWS to Bill Ayers, December 10, 2008, Hardball, MSNBC: “I was a Capitol policeman at the time, so I was one of the guys that could have been killed obviously at the time you put that, your guys put that bomb in there. So I have a little personal interest. It wasn’t just vandalism. [...]

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 [...]

Minister Farrakhan and Barack Obama »

There has been a virtual wall of silence around Barack Obama’s long-time ties with Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam. One is tempted to dismissively say that the Minister is ‘just a guy in the neighborhood’, much like William Ayers. Turns out that Ayers was not just a guy in the neighborhood. Nor [...]

Putting A Fine Edge On Proposition 8 »

My partner and I CHOOSE to spread our wealth around to a number of non-profit organizations (our choice, not the govenrment’s), unlike the Obamas and Bidens, who choose to give very little of theirs, especially compared to the McCains and Palins. But I digress. The point is that one of the (many)organizations we support is [...]
