Such A Brouhaha »

All over a cartoon. A satirical cartoon at that. The one Obama didn’t care about before he cared about it. Yes, I am referring to the cover of the New Yorker which dared to depict The Emperor and Empress Obama in anything less than a devotional homage. How DARE they?!? Never mind that the cartoon […]

The Adulation of a Leader: a Cautionary Tale »

Barack Obama broke with tradition when he moved the Democratic National Committee from DC to Chicago. For many of us, this move emphasized the merger of the Obama campaign with the Democratic Party. And to many of us, that merger made clear that the Democratic Party no longer belongs to the people, it belongs to […]

Kobe, R. Kelly…Obama? »

I am a major contributor at DoneDems.com. “DONE” stands for “Democrats Over Nominating Elitists.”

Once again, I am in the minority. While I stood and still stand as a member of the 18 million strong majority of Hillary Clinton’s supporters, I represent an infinitesimal minority as a member of the less than 10% of African Americans […]

Obama Turns On the Race-Baiting Wurlitzer: Signs of Candidacy in Trouble »

I started crying during the speech and wept for a good while after Dr. King finished. He had said everything I believed, far better than I ever could…that speech steeled my determination to do whatever could for the rest of my life to make Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream come true. — From My […]

The Movement »

Give Barack Obama his due.  He has revived feelings and emotions that recall the Sixties.  But not all of the feelings and emotions of that era are good or decent.  Unless you are at least 53 years old, you have no real clear memory of the struggles of the period.  So I am guessing that […]

From Helen Thomas’s latest column:
“Obama has captivated the enthusiastic support of America’s youth and ignited their interest in presidential politics. His eloquent speeches are designed for the bully pulpit. But does a […]

CNN’s Roland Martin Interviews Hillary »

We hit CNN’s Roland Martin, and CNN, hard on March 26th in Fleaflicker’s story, “Why Doesn’t CNN’s Roland Martin Get Axed like Carville and Begala Did?” We pointed out that Martin appears to be “a professional apologist for and supporter of Barack Obama,” and that he gives short shrift to Hillary Clinton’s qualities and […]

The Content of HER Character [Updated with VIDEO] »

Lessons we learn when we are young tend to stick with us throughout life. Especially when those lessons are learned from people we respect and admire. Hillary Clinton learned a few important lessons from a very great man whose death we both mourn and celebrate on this day.
At the tender age of 14, Hillary […]

Is Barack Obama the George Wallace of the Left? »

The code words are different this time around. Instead of appealing to whites’ fears of forced integration by mentioning busing, Obama has elicited black prejudice by using terms like like hoodwinked, bamboozled, and okie-doke.

Can you imagine another prominent African American politician using this language? Can you see the dignified Colin Powell using this dog-whistle? […]
