Cheney’s Dilemma–No dick or that is His Name? (UPDATED) »

By Larry Johnson on Oct 30, 2009 in Current Affairs | 51 Comments

Pity poor old Dick Cheney. He barely knows who he is. Mind is slipping for sure. Latest evidence that he is living in the land of delusion is his insistence that the Bush Administration was on top of the Afghanistan problem because they undertook a review in the fall of 2008. [...]

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws [...]

Right-wing CIA Conspiracy Nuts »

By Larry Johnson on May 5, 2009 in Current Affairs | 23 Comments

Once upon a time the left side of the political spectrum had a monopoly on nutty conspiracy theories involving the alleged ability of the CIA to control the world and be the puppet master of all right-wing tyrants. Boy, those were the good old days–the CIA deposing democratic governments and assassinating noble politcians yearning [...]

Obama Proves Peter Principle at NATO [Updates] »

By SusanUnPC on Apr 4, 2009 in Current Affairs, NATO, President Barack Obama, Qualifications | 42 Comments

Someone’s lack of qualifications and substantive experience is showing — SEE Ambassador Joseph Wilson in Update #2 — and someone is depicting us United States citizens as beggars grateful for insultingly thin gruel while someone (that’d be President Barack Obama [PBO]) is being “played” by leaders of fellow NATO nations who know they can [...]

Remember When Obama Said He Chaired the Banking Committee (Chris Dodd’s Committee)? »

By SusanUnPC on Sep 28, 2008 in Economy, Foreign Policy, NATO, Obamaisms, Obamedia | 142 Comments

Since Barack Obama doesn’t have time to be in D.C. during the intense negotiations over the financial crisis, it’s probably a good thing he really isn’t the chair of the Banking Committee — not that it’s any better that Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) aka “Senator Acorn” is in charge. Besides, as all of you [...]

Sarah Palin To Meet Karzai [Update] »

By SusanUnPC on Sep 20, 2008 in Afghanistan, Qualifications, Sarah Palin | 177 Comments

This presents a great opportunity for Gov. Palin to meet international leaders and visit the United Nations building, and it will probably also afford her an oportunity to be briefed in great detail on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and NATO.
Lord knows that Barack Obama passed up every opportunity to do HIS job as chairman, since 2005, of [...]

Yet Another Worrisome “Obamaism”: The Banking Committee Is “My Committee” [UPDATES] »

By SusanUnPC on Jul 23, 2008 in Barack Obama, Foreign Policy, Iraq, NATO, Obamaisms | 254 Comments

UPDATES: Memeorandum.com is tracking the story; CNN’s Political Ticker and several blogs have reported Obama’s (to be polite) misstatement. The Chicago Tribune has picked up the story. I’m certain that MSNBC and Keith Olbermann will be alllllll over this too, especially since Keith constantly criticizes other news networks for not being “fair and balanced.” [...]

Obama Is Lying on Iraq, Will the Press Call Him on It? (UPDATED) »

By Larry Johnson on Jul 13, 2008 in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Flag officers, Iraq, Joseph Wilson, Larry Johnson | 305 Comments

We have moved this story back to the top of the blog because it is vital that as many people as possible see not only Obama’s “tap dance” but also the prevarications of his defenders. There is a reason that over 30 flag officers rushed to endorse Hillary Clinton: It is because they know she [...]

I Imagine That Denver Delegates Will See This RNC Ad »

By SusanUnPC on Jul 8, 2008 in Barack Obama, Electability, Flag officers, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, Hillary Clinton, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Joseph Wilson, NATO, National Defense, National Security, Qualifications | 471 Comments

This is the latest ad from the RNC. Unfortunately, it effectively encapsulates Obama’s flip-flops on Iraq as well as visibly displaying his hesitancy and uncertainty when confronted with the hard questions:

There is a reason that 30+ flag officers endorsed Hillary Clinton. See:

“More Flag Officers Endorse …“

“Gen. Shelton Endorses, Obama Thinks Rumsfeld OK“ (This [...]

Barack Obama: A Bold-Faced Liar? »

By SusanUnPC on Jun 23, 2008 in Austan Goolsbee, Barack Obama, David Axelrod, Iraq, Joseph Wilson, NAFTA, Qualifications | 123 Comments

See also, the true story about that 2002 Iraq speech, so little noted that it wasn’t videotaped or even covered in Chicago media, forcing the Obama campaign to “recreate” the speech, as reported by NPR: “The Staged Iraq War Speech & More “Creative” Embellishments.”
This means, of course, that we have to take creative [...]

SANTA FE, N.M. - In recent weeks Americans have been subjected to a litany of outrageous statements from Sen. Barack Obama’s pastor of 20 years, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. While Obama was finally compelled to distance himself from his radical [...]

A “Bored” Obama Is Distracted and Not Listening »

By SusanUnPC on Apr 30, 2008 in Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joseph Wilson, North Carolina, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. | 240 Comments

Huffington Post’s Mayhill Fowler may support Obama but — as she showed in her now-legendary sneak-taping and reporting of Obama’s remarks about “clingy” smalltown folk at his fundraiser for the elite of San Francisco — she is not afraid to tell the truth, and her observations and insights about Obama’s disconnect from his audiences are [...]

A Family Fight or a License to Hate? »

By Joanne Parrent on Apr 29, 2008 in Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Iraq, John McCain, Women and Children, Women's Suffrage | 284 Comments

So, Democrats, the media tells us we are in the midst of a “family fight.”
To introduce myself and my family, I am a latte-drinking, white, college-educated progressive Democrat who, despite my demographic, supports Hillary Clinton. Maybe it is because I am also a woman over 45. My mother and my late father are “blue collar” [...]

Rev. Wright Attempts to Sully the Memory of John Fitzgerald Kennedy »

By SusanUnPC on Apr 29, 2008 in Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. | 150 Comments

Rev. Wright mocked the Boston-accent pronunciations of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and mimicked him — wholly inaccurately.
Not only does Rev. Wright not have a good ear for accents, he does not have a good ear for how his outrageous, self-aggrandizing remarks are received by the larger whole of American people.

Here is John Fitzgerald that [...]

Jeremiah Wright Jr., Sexism, Superdelegates, Swift Boat Veterans For Truth | 75 Comments

There are a lot of tags above this story, aren’t there. But that’s because this piece addresses all of those concerns — including several must-reads on the ‘net about Obama’s iffy chances in a general election:

“Obama Puts Democrats in Peril” and “Electability Is Name of the Game,” from TheStreet.com, and
“Grand Unified Theory of [...]

Afghanistan’s “forgotten front line” & CoC Qualifiers »

By SusanUnPC on Mar 6, 2008 in Afghanistan, Barack Obama, Commander in Chief, Flag officers, Foreign Affairs, Hillary Clinton | 21 Comments

“Clinton Raises the Stakes on Ready-to-Be-President Charge Against Obama” — That’s the top headline at Mark Halperin’s Time magazine blog, The Page. This appears to be breaking news. Halperin’s headline summary continues:
Clinton speaking in Washington on the commander-in-chief threshold question:

“I believe that I’ve done that. Certainly, Senator McCain has done that and you’ll have to [...]

Hey, He Just Pressed the Wrong Button »

By SusanUnPC on Mar 3, 2008 in Barack Obama, Commander in Chief, Flag officers, Hillary Clinton | 60 Comments

Okay, he did it a bunch of times … but hey, no big deal.

Like I keep saying, it’s no wonder that generals and admirals are rallying to Hillary Clinton. This twit must scare the bejeezus out of them. (”Michelle my belle, where did you put the football?! Oh there it is…. now, which button [...]
