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.

1) Is the MSM finally reporting on race-baiting? Jake Tapper, at Political Punch, is doing just that. During recent campaign stops, Obama trotted out the old race-bait bit about having a “funny name” and that no other presidents “look like me.”
Jake Tapper calls him on it - but good. Quoting Obama during […]

ABC News correspondent Terry Moran interviewed Barack Obama who got a bit testy during the exchange.
“And then we sat down with [Barack Obama] to talk about what has become an open disagreement between military commanders here and Obama, over his plan to withdraw all U.S. combat troops from Iraq on a 16-month timetable.” — Terry […]

Part of the Clinton Derangement Syndrome we have witnessed this election cycle puts forth the theory that anything that happens is Hillary’s fault. Senator Obama, the DNC elites and the media never miss an opportunity to try and sell this phony bill of goods to the public.
Barack’s looking real tired on the campaign trail. […]

1) Over at the Guardian is an interesting two-part piece (part one here and part two here ) about how old, debunked and just plain vicious right-wing rumors and lies about HRC and BC are recycled by today’s “progressive wing” of the Democratic Party. Why this should be so is not explained (and is there […]

If anyone has seen the movie Becket, Peter O’Toole, as Henry II, screams at a ragged group of mean looking men, “Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?” The king was making a political request. “Do in the bishop without me actually having to ask for it, OK?” Someone does; […]

It’s all over the press that beginning Friday, Hillary Clinton will be fundraising with the presumptive nominee, Barack Obama. For many of us, I’d say at least a few million, this is a nauseating thought. While we respect Hillary for her loyalty, we will not be joining her efforts. In fact, for me at least, […]

The Obama campaign has stated Senator Obama will visit Iraq and Afghanistan sometime before August. Earlier this week, Obama had a phone conversation with Iraqi Foreign Minister Zebari. As we noted here at NQ:
Obama finished the conversation by saying he looked forward to a face to face meeting in Baghdad. Mr Zebari […]

While the question of how Barack Obama became the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee has many of us speculating, his candidacy for president is being questioned by voters outside of the party. His lack of experience stands out more vividly, now that Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate with experience and know-how, has dropped out:
Obama faces […]

If someone was accusing my wife of saying something racist that was not true, and you asked me in public, I would say emphatically and clearly, “it is not true.” So what is Barack’s problem. He was asked about this today and here is his reply:
We have seen this before. There is dirt […]
