In an interview with Katie Couric last night right before the Super Bowl, President Obama announced that he is scheduling a bipartisan commission to go over the best ideas for health insurance reform. It will take place on February 25th. The idea is to bring Republicans back into the dialog after they took their ball and went home. They did […]

Just in case there was any doubt in anyone’s mind about the state of the economy now (under President Obama) vs. then (under President Doy): So stick that in your Republican pipe and smoke it. I’m just sayin’…

Any Republican who argues that they are not the Party of NO should be told flatly to shut the hell up. Ugh. Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) has put an extraordinary “blanket hold” on at least 70 nominations President Obama has sent to the Senate, according to multiple reports this evening. The hold means no nominations can move forward unless Senate […]

While I don’t agree with him on everything, I appreciate Andrew Sullivan and his outsider’s (British) perspective on American politics. His essay in the Sunday Times this past weekend, titled “Listen up, the president is not for turning” is no exception. And it has some common sense observations that all of us, conservatives and liberals alike, would do well to […]

Anyone who has read my blog in the past year knows I’m one of those who is out front with in support of the president and his administration. This blog entry doesn’t change that. But I am going to acknowledge this: when it comes to messaging, the president has left it to Congressional Democrats and they don’t know what the […]

President Obama met with Republicans today in a Q&A session that was an amazing sight to see. At the last minute, the Obama administration asked that cameras be allowed and we should all thank heavens that happened. Watch this and enjoy. More of this, please. Much, much more. I’m just sayin’…

I took a computer science class in college, a FORTRAN programming class. Each program I wrote was worth 8 points. However, there were at least 40 different things I could do to lose points. Mess up 8 of those those 40 things and get a zero. That’s unfair. And it’s exactly what liberals are doing to our president and his […]

My wife and I were fortunate enough to attend the inauguration last year. Her photomosaic poster of Barack Obama, “Out of Many, We Are One” that appeared in TIME magazine had sold well and was being given out as a gift at the Michigan Ball. We also miraculously got tickets to the inauguration itself. Not only that, we scored tickets […]

This Obamabot finally has to admit it: President Barack H. Obama is exactly like President George W. Bush. After the Christmas Day Underpants Bombing, President Obama held a press conference where he said: The bottom line is this: The U.S. government had sufficient information to have uncovered this plot and potentially disrupt the Christmas Day attack. But our intelligence community […]

Know what I heard? I heard the president got a Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) months ago that warned him of terrorist underwear bombing attacks against our precious and beloved homeland. Yup. That’s what I heard. From some guy who read it on a blog on the internets. And Obama told the guy who gave him the PDB to go Cheney […]

I’m frankly puzzled by the meme that the debacle that is the Congressional debate on health insurance reform is President Obama’s fault. Let’s review: Not one single Republican has supported it with votes (outside of Snowe allowing a vote to go forward which she subsequently voted “NO!” on.) The major evisceratory surgeries on the legislation have been primarily to appease […]
