AFL-CIO Reminds Us About Obama Rumors »

The AFL-CIO endorsed Obama. They have released two mailers. The first mailer is here:
• “Does he wear a flag pin on his lapel? Yes, but not always. Like many presidential candidates, sometimes he wears a flag pin, sometimes he wears a breast cancer awareness pin, sometimes he wears his U.S. Senate [...]

“Zanesville - Thanks, But No Thanks” »

That’s the bottom line of the very good piece by Mayfill Fowler in Huffington Post Thursday, “Zanesville On Obama’s Faith-Based Initiatives: Thanks But No Thanks.” You may recall that Ms. Fowler is the journalist who exposed Obama’s “bitter, clingy, church-y, gun-y” video a few months back. Interestingly, she is (or was - I don’t know [...]

Competing Endorsements and Parallel Narratives »

As the campaign for the nomination heads into the final days before North Carolina and Indiana, both campaigns are attempting to control the narrative prior to the voting. Obama is failing miserably. The Clinton campaign so fully controls the narrative now that it’s virtually a presidency-in-waiting, with bully pulpit and podium to boot (more [...]

Jeremiah Wright Can’t Be Explained Away, and the American People KNOW What’s Wrong »

The numbers are devastating for Obama, and it’s clear that a fatigued Obama — deep down inside — knows it too, even as he portrays himself and his wife as ever the victims who somehow made it anyway:
Barack Obama was showing signs of campaign fatigue. Sitting on a picnic bench in a park on Pagoda [...]

A “Bored” Obama Is Distracted and Not Listening »

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 [...]

__________________________________
Senator Obama’s ill-conceived remarks likening small town Americans to embittered guns-and-God bigots have triggered a justifiable furor. Not only are the remarks insulting, but also factually incorrect.
As it happens, at the same event in San Francisco, Senator Obama made other remarks, equally startling, insulting our Foreign Service, [...]

Deep thoughts by Barack Handey »

Flineo says that his new video was inspired by an important post by MBolack that traces the history of Barack Obama’s true views “about the working-class masses.” I’m reprinting her story here, in full.

Barack’s True Beliefs: Those to Which He “Clings” and “Clings” and “Clings” »

Barack Obama outdid himself this week, didn’t he?  He revealed something about his true feelings about the working-class masses whose votes he desperately needs, and perhaps his take on that higher plane he believes he  occupies.   But this isn’t an isolated incident, and it isn’t the first time we’ve been reminded that Barack Obama [...]

Obama’s Foreign Policy Ego Meets Hillary’s Experience »

Every day that passes Obama gets cockier. His confidence grows at a rate directly inverse to the facts. The most recent whopper occurred during a fundraiser in San Francisco while answering a question concerning potential VP choices. Not believing in the conventional wisdom that he needs someone with strong foreign policy experience, Obama pooh poohed [...]

Obama’s Foreign Policy Faux Pas »

Sorry for the delay in posting on Barack Obama’s outrageous claim the other day that he has the most foreign policy experience. To be precise, he said:
“I think a lot of people assume that might be some sort of military thing to make me look more Commander-in-Chief-like. Ironically, this is an area–foreign policy is [...]
