[A new post-debate thread is now available. Thanks!]
Did you notice, in the last half of the debate, how the real self-aggrandizing Joe Biden took over the debate-prepped Joe Biden? That he launched into his “I did,” “I made,” “I talked,” “I accomplished,” and on and on? He still thinks that HE is […]

Agence France Presse, released Obama’s statement on the Iraq Double Talk-gate not more than 14 hours ago. I am sad to say it took the AFP to release this statement. The media here in the US seem to be “missing in action”.
There are a couple of very troubling things about Obama’s response and meeting. There […]

During the primaries and up until the convention, many Obama supporters pushed the narrative that Hillary supporters had to go through the classic stages of grief before we accepted Obama. On Correntewire, Lambert writes that Josh Marshall and others:
started running the “stages of grief” trope on Hillary supporters way back in February—you know, from anger, […]

You saw Eastan’s shocking story today, “Treason!” Ed Morrissey adds important perspectives on the credibility of the source, and on how Barack Obama may have illegally and/or improperly overstepped his bounds as a presidential candidate:
[…] Color me skeptical in one aspect of Taheri’s argument. He claims that this would have hypocritically delayed the […]

This is Treason!
WHILE Barack Obama has publicly campaigned for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq — in secret private discussions, Obama has tried to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.

According to Taegan Goddard’s Political Wire, The New York Post has endorsed McCain despite the months Obama spent wooing “Rupert Murdoch’s media empire.”
I guess Obama’s attempt at getting Murdoch’s media to support him appear to be wasted.
From Political Wire we learn about Obama’s whining to Fox News chief Roger Ailes in a summer meeting. I […]

Involve foreign policy. Not that Obama seems to know this, though. He claimed in an interview with George Stephanopoulos that being the governor of Alaska, with Russia as a next door neighbor, does NOT qualify as foreign relations experience.
Now, apparently going to Pakistan on a school break during college counts, or living in Indonesia […]

Steve Clemons is one of the classiest and most fair-minded people I know. He makes every effort to always give people the benefit of the doubt. He demonstrates in every action and in all of his writings the “Golden Rule.”
Furthermore, if you’ve ever been lucky enough to have turned on C-Span during […]

(I haven’t gotten anything from Obama’s camp. Am searching for a statement. Of course, he’ll have to have someone write the entire thing for him. God, I hope there’s a press conference today, and the press ask him about this crisis. UPDATE at 9:23 a.m. PT — Six minutes ago the A.P. posted […]

Barack doesn’t have much faith in you. He doesn’t think you’ll “get it.” Maureen Dowd asked him:
I asked how his “Citizen of the World” tour will go down in Steubenville, Ohio.
“There will probably be some backlash,” he said. “I’m a big believer that if something’s good then there’s a bad to it, and […]
