FlipFlopFlipFlop: Obama on Troop Surge! [Updated] »

[UPDATE FROM LARRY JOHNSON–Great Piece by Nancy. I’ve inserted the clip of what Barack told O’Reilly. Barack has a problem. He now insists no one envisioned the surge success. Nope. Wrong. McCain staked that position out early on and reaps the benefit.]

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 […]

The Obama Doctrine »

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 […]

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING: John McCain “Prescient” On Russia And Putin »

While this blog does not, and has no plans to, endorse John McCain for president, we continue to be impressed with his in-depth knowledge of the crisis in Georgia, and how very important it is to distinguish his statements from the single, vague statement by Barack Obama that any ignorant public relations person could have […]
