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 [...]

Seriously, Is Obama Just a Puppet? »

We first learned who was behind Obama and his inspiring speeches months ago. Those very speeches that excited the crowds, and drew people in. Those very speeches that many people voted for. Despite the fact that he ever really said anything more than just *hope* and *change*, people saw JFK, MLK and RFK all rolled [...]

NAFTA Again? Goolsbee Again? Is Obama Smokin’ Again (or all along)? »

I don’t like feeling that I wasn’t being dealt with honestly [about if he's smoking or not]. …

Barack “I-didn’t-know” Obama »

Vetting our two Democratic presidential candidates has definitely been a mixed bag. On one hand, Hillary Clinton’s life and political history has been in the news and reported online for many years. Barack Obama is another deal. He has essentially gotten a free ride in the national media, only being questioned seriously [...]

[See Part I.]
While Barack Obama has resurrected his now-infamous “bamboozling” line that he exploited in South Carolina — this time today in Mississippi — Hillary Clinton’s press team has produced two top-notch press releases today that 1) hit Barack Obama’s vote for Dick Cheney’s energy bill and 2) Obama’s fifth waffling excuse for NAFTA-gate.

Hey, He Just Pressed the Wrong Button »

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 [...]

Is Barack Learning Foreign Policy? »

Can we finally dispense with the nonsense that Barack Obama represents a “new” and “different” type of political candidate?
