Just Doing What Needs To Be Done »

The past few weeks, okay, MONTHS, have been fairly contentious: fights on Capitol Hill about Health Care Reform; the race card being played again, by a former president, no less; heightened concerns by those in the know about Afghanistan; our children being indoctrinated; and Hollywood Elite calling for the freedom of a convicted rapist and [...]

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 [...]

my, how the times, they are a changin’ »

These are some of the stories I read this week. There seems to be a new tone emerging in the media, wrt Obama. I don’t really have anything to add to these stories - they are pretty much to the point, and quite interesting. I included a snippet from each story, but recommend reading [...]

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.

A recent e-mail making the rounds suggests that Barack Obama’s superior education and intelligence mandates his choice as president over John McCain.

Tonight on No Quarter Radio »

Tonight I have the honor of interviewing Bob Shrum. His book, No Excuses, is just out in paperback and it’s candy for the political junkie. If you love politics, you’ll love this book. I’ll be asking him about his political war stories. I also want to get his thoughts on this recent primary campaign and [...]

Who’s Less Bad? »

Friday’s Washington Post has a story on how the McCain campaign is looking to woo disaffected Clinton supporters. The GOP thinks it has a shot at these voters who believe Obama is out of touch with them and because McCain is a “maverick” who may be able to accommodate their interests.
That is why the [...]

Change We Can Believe In? »

I am still waiting for someone to explain to me why Barack Obama represents “change” and “hope” for a new future. The White House is currently occupied by an inexperienced man–a nice man–of limited accomplishment who used cocaine as a young adult. And the best answer the Democrats now offer is an inexperienced [...]

Obama: Don’t Drive. Don’t Eat. Freeze Your Butt Off »

“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.”
No Kidding. Barack Obama actually said that today. You can’t make this stuff up. He was talking about America “leading by [...]
