(Editor’s Note: Please see editor’s note below the fold.)
Seriously, who wrote the stimulus bill?
Was it Obama? Pelosi? Members of Congress? Harry Reid? Lobbyists?
Who wrote the stimulus bill that was signed Tuesday?

Historic Videos of Past Inaugurations & A POLL of Great Presidents For You All »

By SusanUnPC on Jan 19, 2009 in African Americans, Bill Clinton, Civil Rights, Current Affairs, Inauguration Day | 51 Comments

No matter how dubious we are about the outcome of tomorrow’s inauguration — and with our eagle eyes fixed firmly on how Obama performs — it is fascinating to find these clips of past inauguration speeches, even Franklin Roosevelt’s and Harry Truman’s. AND BELOW THE FOLD IS A POLL FOR YOU TO TAKE: Rank [...]

What’s So Not Funny? »

By Steve_in_KC on Jan 2, 2009 in African Americans, Barack Obama, Daily Show, Humor, Saturday Night Live | 161 Comments

Like many people who visit No Quarter, I used to be a big fan of Jon Stewart and the Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and even David Letterman.  Around March or April of 2008, I could no longer stand their bias against Hillary Clinton, and I stopped watching all three.  
What made it even worse was [...]

It Takes A Special Kind Of Person… »

To attack a place of worship. That is just what someone, or someones, did on Friday, Dec. 12, 2008, when they set fire to the Wasilla Bible Church in Wasilla, AK:

And they did a substantial amount of damage, over $1 million. What is more, people were actually inside the church at [...]

Update on Don Siegelman, a curb to Presidential power? Steele for RNC head? unfazed K Street just changes the players, the MLK Brand, public teachers w/fake SSNs, local govts feeling the hurt »

1)Time magazine has an update on the disturbing case of Alabama governor Don Siegelman. If you’ve not been following this story lately, it’s worth a look, as it is one of the most egregious cases of political-turned-into-criminal take downs I’ve ever seen.
Next month in Atlanta, a federal court will hear the high-profile [...]

When It Comes to Obama, Is It Jackie Robinson or Sally Fields? »

I wanted to wait for a few days before commenting on the import of the election of Barack Obama. As longtime readers of NoQuarter know firsthand, Barack’s skin color has been completely irrelevant to the question of his qualification to be President.
He is a quintessential enigma wrapped in a conundrum (i.e., an [...]

Yes, it seems that the chickens are starting to come home to roost for some Obama worshippers, uh, I mean, supporters. Those of us using the analytical portion of our brains knew that Obama’s hype was too good to be true, but apparently, these workers for Obama are learning a harsh reality - he [...]

african americans have suffered at the hand of racism and bigotry, and are in turn, bigots? »

“Barack Obama’s rise to the presidency of the United States is something local African Americans who lived through segregation and the civil rights movement never imagined would happen in their lifetime. Madison remembers the time when she wasn’t allowed to eat lunch with white shoppers at the ….lunch counter. She remembers the days when she [...]

A Perfect Storm? »

By Bud White on Nov 6, 2008 in African Americans, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Economy, Housing & Housing Crisis, Joe The Plumber, McCain/Palin 2008, Political Strategy, Ronald Reagan | 109 Comments

Our reluctant allies on the Right believe McCain was struck by the perfect storm. McCain’s loss was less about campaign strategy failures than an incredibly unpopular president of the same party and an economic October surprise which underscored his Party’s difficulties. It really was about Change. From the National Review:
1) 2008′S OUTCOME AND THE [...]

Minister Farrakhan and Barack Obama »

By Matthew Weaver on Nov 5, 2008 in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Jesse Jackson, Michelle Obama, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam, Rev. James Meeks, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., Rev. Michael Pfleger | 127 Comments

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. [...]

What do Rashid Khalidi and Sirhan Sirhan have in common? Ayers and Obama »

Bill Ayers, domestic terrorist and Obama benefactor, dedicated his book to Sirhan Sirhan, the man who assassinated Robert F. Kennedy.
Prairie Fire, published in 1974, is described as Ayers’ communist manifesto.
Dedicating a book to Sirhan Sirhan isn’t radical chic or a youthful indulgence. Dedicating a book to Sirhan Sirhan is tantamount to denying the [...]

Bobby Kennedy: Fearless »

By Bud White on Oct 6, 2008 in African Americans, Bobby Kennedy, Civil Rights, Democratic Party, Health Care, Indiana, Racism, Sexism, White Working Class, Women | 48 Comments

Like many Democrats, I fell hard for Bobby Kennedy. Although I wasn’t born when he was killed, his memory is woven into the fabric of the Democratic Party. You couldn’t be a Democrat through the conservative revolution of the 1980s and 1990s without yearning for his voice of outrage.

1) Jesse Jackson is still paying for his “nutty” remark on television. The Hill has a story saying Jackson will not likely be speaking at the Democratic convention.
As an aside, a Jackson friend also said Al Sharpton would not speak. No offense, but ya think? AA speakers more likely to appear include [...]

Arrogant Thing, You Make Everything…Horrid »

OK. My head is spinning. I can say the Obama Campaign could not get any more outrageous or preposterous, but I am sure I will be proven wrong.
Senator Obama, on his Rockapalooza tour of the Middle East and Europe, is now taking time out from photo ops and playing hoops (you know, while [...]

The repudiation of Barack Obama continues unabated. It is something so unprecedented in American history to have so many rebel against the presumptive Democratic nominee even before he has been nominated.
Yet another anti-Obama website has been launched and this one is by former supporters of the very junior Senator from Illinois.
The Chicago Tribune’s columnist [...]

Don’t miss the update at the end.
You know how I was saying yesterday that Obama supporters weren’t exactly jumping at the chance to help Hillary pay down her debt? Well it seems I didn’t know the half of it. Sure, I ended my piece a little snarky but essentially what I said turned out to [...]
