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 inscrutable mystery [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
