“Are Hillary Clinton Supporters Murmuring I Told You So?” »

Hell no, we haven’t been “murmuring.” We’ve been yelling it from the damn rooftops for months and months now! Oh, um, yeah, let me take a step back. So there’s this article by Marc Rubin entitled, you guessed it, “Are Hillary Supporters Murmuring I Told You So?“.
Welcome to the party, [...]

Remembrance of Things Past – Part 3 »

What’s it all mean?

The truth will set your fee…
Well, you’re not paranoid if they really are after you. In 2008 David Rothkopf published a book called “Superclass” (Farrar, Straus and Giroux) wherein he discusses the 6,000 or so people who run the world, how they got to be there and what they intend to do. [...]

“‘barack obama is a big fat liar’, illustrated” times two – UPDATE »

I read two great posts from NRO, Barack Obama Is a Big Fat Liar by Jim Geraghty, and ‘Barack Obama is a Big Fat Liar,’ Illustrated, by Guy Benson.
Geraghty writes:
Ever since Barack Obama declared his candidacy for president, it’s been easy — and great fun — to spotlight when his promises and statements come with [...]

Blowing Smoke. Why the Hydrogen Economy Just Hit a Recession in the U.S. »

I am sure some of you have seen the video of dumbo standing in the receiving line greeting the people getting off his own plane and you have heard all about the folks that, probably just minutes before were wiping powder from his upper lip, did not shake his hand.
But, who were those [...]

i was running for president, there you go. »

Following in the same vein of Obama’s recent comments to Tapper, to explain his apparent flip flop on the Cuban embargo, that he was just “running for senator”, we now have a new catch phrase to explain his many broken campaign promises, I was running for President, there you go.
PROMISES, PROMISES: Obama and black [...]

Krugman Pounds Away At Geithner’s Recycled Toxic Assets Plan »

Here’s Paul Krugman, on camera, on Geithner’s “toxic assets” plan, announced Monday: “This is something they can do without legislation. They found a way that they can in effect put the public on the hook for a TRILLION DOLLARS for this stuff without actually getting any approval.” It can be done through the FDIC and [...]

Latina Freedom Fighter’s YouTube Discussion With Us »

Now this is spirit! This woman has moxie and good ol’ C.S.!

I don’t agree with everything she says. After all, I’m a Hillary Democrat, and she wants people to go to the Republican party. But I admire her, and I find her ability to cover a lot of ground with clarity to be [...]

Sensationalized News and the Death of Capitalism »

About a year ago people like myself began talking about the Obama collapse. I’m not blaming Obama for the sub-prime mortgage crisis which was caused by Democrats in congress resisting regulations nor will I blame him for the incompetence inherited by the Bush administration. However, Obama ran on retreat and defeat — namely the Iraq [...]

Remembering The Past Is A Key To The Present »

As you know no doubt know, Obama just took his first big trip abroad as president … to Ottawa. That got me to thinking – it has been almost a year since Canadian TV reported that Obama’s aide, Austan Goolsbee, was assuring Canada that NAFTA was safe and sound, despite Obama’s campaign promises to [...]

Prisoner’s Dilemma »

Over the course of the last two decades, we have seen a massive increase in global trade in conjunction with a wide array of free trade agreements.
For those who do not track these agreements, two of the United States’ formal trade agreements are:
1. NAFTA: North American Free Trade Agreement
2. CAFTA: Central America Free Trade [...]

cha-cha-cha-chaaaaaaange. change of fools? »

The people wanted Change! Change! Change! It’s been a banner year for the Democrats! Change is a coming! But, looking back over the past year, I really have to ask, what kind of change did the people want? What kind of change did the voters think they were getting? And *change* from what, exactly?
What we [...]

Democrats’ “Coming Rift?” or a Spreading One? »

Commentary magazine’s Abe Greenwald writes about the “Coming Rift” in the Democratic Party. There’s some interesting stuff here, but I’d say — wouldn’t you? — that he is actually months late. But no matter.
Greenwald talks about how the netroots that helped propel Obama to the White House may be feeling betrayed by [...]

O, Come Let Us Adore Him »

Oh, boy – this is quite some article by Howard Kurtz in the Washington Post (H/T to athy at No Quarter for this article). He really tells it like it is. I wonder if he still has a job there? Just the title alone gives it away: “A Giddy Sense of Boosterism.”
Holy [...]

Overnight Open Thread * Bang Your Drums LOUDLY for Our Sarah! »

From The Corner:
Palin and Africa, Etc. [Rich Lowry]
I talked to Steve Biegun, the former Bush NSC aid who briefed Sarah Palin on foreign policy, and he considers the leaks against her on the international stuff “absurd.”
He says there’s no way she didn’t know Africa was a continent, and whoever is saying she didn’t [...]
