That is a question I have asked myself time and time again since Obama took office on a number of issues, including expanding the Faith Based Initiatives, or my fave, the incredibly unConstitutional “Prolonged Detention” of American Citizens, holding them in custody indefinitely without charges.
Turns out I am not the only one who [...]

I came across this interesting story the other day, “Most Electronic Voting Isn’t Secure, CIA Expert Says.” Well, no freakin’ kidding - anyone who has paid the LEAST bit of attention to the issue of electronic voting machines knows that, right? Thank heavens, someone int he government is FINALLY addressing this issue! [...]

I have always been intrigued by Germany. From the history of the republic, to the wars, the division and reunification, Berlin, Munich, the food, the beer — there is a lot going on there. I had the good fortune of spending a college semester in Freiburg, which is in the southwestern corner of the country. [...]

No matter where you fall on the Israel/Gaza issue, and I know people have strong feelings on both sides, two events this past weekend are disturbing. They are disturbing because we have been down this road before. And this is a road down which we never want to go again, not Israel, not [...]

Major H/T/ to McKatmoon, an alert reader at No Quarter, for this tip. This is disturbing. Here’s the story: John McCain filed a lawsuit in VA at this late date for a reason you are not going to believe. It turns out that the absentee ballots required by military personnel serving abroad [...]

Democrats are on defense and not playing it well, as highlighted in my recent article quoting legendary politician Willie Brown, “The Democrats Are On Defense And They Don’t Play It Well.” However, the Telegraph.co.uk calls the put-them-on-the-defense routine McCain’s “Ugly Frog”, writes Craig Crawford at CQ.
The “ugly frog” is a well-known routine that predates Karl [...]

Obama’s willingness to flip-flop has earned him the moniker Backtrack Obama. He betrayed progressives by voting for the FISA legislation; he promised to expand Bush’s faith-based initiatives; he equivocated on choice by saying that “mental distress” should not be a factor in abortion.
Obama’s newest flip flop was not over a matter of public policy [...]

Odinga ate my saviour! appeared on our horizons with claims he is Obama’s cousin in a BBC news report in January of this year, two years after Obama visited his father’s homeland.

After the Standard in Kenya was burned, Obama decided to offer criticism of Kenya and the current president.

Obama’s excellent adventures have now ended. He visited the troops in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan, with a little basketball thrown in. He has wowed and wooed “200,000″ people at a free concert in Germany. We had to “jack the bus” up higher as Obama “threw” the injured troops from Ramstein and Landstuhl under the bus [...]

The Republican National Committee went to Berlin on Obama’s trail and had a few candid conversations with Europeans about Obama.

“I think people make a judgment by what we do and what we don’t do. He certainly found time to do other things.” — John McCain
George Stephanopoulos interviewed John McCain at length on his Sunday morning program, ABC’s This Week, and asked Sen. McCain about Obama’s decision not to visit the wounded soldiers at Landstuhl:
As [...]

Rep. Sestak, you are one of my heroes. I know that you have to go along with the Democratic party — and the funding of your reelection campaign is at stake (ahem) — but I am sorry that the party used you like this:
“So if you want my take on this, if you want [...]

Barack cancelled his visit to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center because, his spokesman said, he decided it would be “inappropriate” to do so during a campaign trip. Wait. I thought this was a mission with fellow senators, touring the embattled countries of Iraq and Afghanistan where these soldiers were wounded. Then there’s that today he [...]

DID any of the rest of you notice that the “million people” expected in Berlin turned into a paltry 200,000 — one-fifth the estimated crowd, many there surely to hear the rock concert?
Now this, via a naughty reporter at Politico.com:
Did today’s Obama speech remind anyone else of …
This groundbreaking moment? Which reminds us of what [...]

Jake Tapper’s story today is Obama On Tonight’s Berlin Speech: “A Crapshoot”. Last week, the razor-sharp Tapper zeroed in on a story that we’ve covered here at No Quarter many times. Joe Wilson, Larry Johnson and I, as well as other writers, have all noted that Obama has failed to DO HIS JOB [...]

I am beginning to wonder if Obama actually went to law school and taught Constitutional law. In fact, I wonder if he went to grade school. Back in May, Obama referenced having visited 57 states; today on Face the Nation, the very junior Senator from Illinois said this:
“[T]he objective of this trip was to have [...]

Barack Obama used donations to refurbish and repaint his campaign plane, and has removed the flag of the United States from the tail of the plane. Reports Bonnie Kapp for Fox Embed:
[T]he plane that once had an American flag on its tail now sports the Obama “O.” “Change We Can Believe In” and the candidate’s [...]

You’re all familiar with the uproar in Germany over Obama’s original plan to speak in front of the Brandenburg Gate. In her fine essay, “The Adulation of a Leader: a Cautionary Tale,” Medusa noted that Obama was attempting “an ancestral hat trick,” evoking both Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy’s speeches at the site.
Well, [...]

Shamelessly stolen from The Real Barack Obama’s Freedom Fairy:
It seems that Sen. Obama’s dream of delivering a speech before thousands in front of the Brandenburg Gate, the very same place where two great American presidents—John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Ronald Reagan—have so proudly stood, is not to be.
And so, it seems that Barack Changeling Obama shall [...]
