Between how the Republicans deal with sexism in this election, and how the Democrats have dealt with sexism is mighty telling. The latter were mum, until after Hillary conceded the race then they made some noise about how things weren’t so great on the whole woman thing. The one exception was Geraldine Ferraro standing up […]

On the eve of his climactic convention speech, Obama’s camapign has turned its full energy to shutting down any media focus on his relationship with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Obama’s ludicrous claim that Ayers was just some guy in the “neighborhood” is being exposed systematically for the lie it is. In fact, Ayers was […]

As one might expect, things are not all sweetness and light at the Convention (and I will freely admit, up front, that I plan to watch very little of it. No way in HELL do I want to watch Michelle Obama speak, or even Barack, for that matter. I don’t need to hear Michelle’s arrogant […]

I am addicted to the Olympics. I LOVE sports, and am so happy when the Olympics come along. Sleep deprived, but happy. Anyway, Oxygen is one of NBC’s channels (who knew?), and has had different events in the evenings, like almost ALL of the Equestrian events, and synchronized swimming (hey, it’s HARD - it takes […]

He’s Willing to be Putin’s Pigeon
So He Can Go Body Surfing
On the day after Russia invaded Georgia, Barack Obama urged even-handed “restraint” on both sides without mentioning Russia by name or rebuking its aggression. Thus Obama proposed his “Rodney King Doctrine,” after the African-American taxi driver, beaten by Los Angeles policemen in 1991, who plaintively […]

Major Eric Egland, a major in the United States Air Force, former lead intelligence specialist in Iraq focusing on terrorist networks and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), in Allies Obama Overlooked, once again reminds us of Obama’s uninspiring inexperience. He even says that Obama wouldn’t have overlooked our allies if he had held just one meeting, […]

1) Time magazine has an interesting take on the democratic veep stakes. If, as conventional wisdom says right now, Tim Kaine and Joe Biden are the most likely candidates, then these two men offer sharp contrasts.
So, does he double down — or does he compensate?
Time sees Kaine as a “double down” - a man […]

The transcript from Meet the Press where Obama and Brokaw talk right before Obama started his trip back to the US is very interesting. At NQ, we’ve pointed out before that Obama isn’t verbally facile without a teleprompter, and that certainly came through here.
Brokaw, with taped bits relating to Obama’s opposition to […]

According to the majority of the American “press,” Obama’s Magical Mystery Tour was met was fawning, adoring fans everywhere he went. Oh, they just FLOCKED to him, didn’t they? Especially in Berlin - oh, yes, never mind the free food and two hottest rock bands in Berlin playing first, they were there to see HIM!! […]

I am beginning to wonder if Obama actually went to law school and taught Constitutional law. In fact, I wonder if he went to grade school. Back in May, Obama referenced having visited 57 states; today on Face the Nation, the very junior Senator from Illinois said this:
“[T]he objective of this trip was to have […]
