More evidence that the GOP meme that the stimulus has failed comes this morning. From the Associated Press: The unemployment rate fell to 10 percent in November as employers cut the smallest number of jobs since the recession began. Clearly the Obama administration is failing the American people. Why? Because the unemployment rate didn’t get capped at 8% like he […]

I’ve heard so many people claiming everything they’re hearing from President Obama about the justifications for his plans in Afghanistan is simply repackaged rhetoric from George W. Bush. Allow me to say this: bullshit. During the period of time that Barack Obama was making his decision on the way forward in Afghanistan, he consulted with many people, many experts from […]

25-year old Meghan McCain has some military advice for President Obama: Expand the war in Afghanistan. Her advice comes from solid military experience. She has a brother that was in the military. Her advice comes to him in an essay on the Daily Beast called “My Anger At Obama”. I’m actually not sure why she titled it that way. She […]

President Obama has a way of putting it all in perspective sometimes: “I’m busy, Nancy’s busy with her mop cleaning up somebody else’s mess. We don’t want somebody sitting back saying you’re not holding the mop the right way. “Why don’t you grab a mop? Why don’t you help clean up? [mocking voice] “‘You’re not mopping fast enough.’ ‘That’s a […]

xkcd nails the “What if…?” scenario. Understocked Can’t we all just get along? I’m just sayin’…

I’ve been giving a LOT of thought to this whole Birthers thing. I’ve done the research. I’ve read the blogs. I’ve listened to Dobbs. And now, at long last, I’ve reached a conclusion. It’s not one that will be popular with many progressive liberals and other Obama supporters but when the details of the diabolical plot are revealed, I think […]

There’s a metaphor in here somewhere… I’m just sayin’…

Say what you want. If President Obama and his administration are picking people like this to handle things, we’re in damn good shape. Watch all 10 minutes. It’ll restore your faith that the grown-ups have taken charge. The Republicans are sooooo wishing they had people this smart to represent them. They don’t. I’m just sayin’…

Well, for some folks. Like insurance company bigwigs. And these guys: Awesome. I’m just sayin’…

With the retirement of Justice Souter, President Obama, a man with nothing better to do these days (wink, wink) now has to tread a very narrow path to pick a new justice. Progressives will surely pressure him to appoint someone who follows in Souter’s liberal-leaning footsteps, perhaps a woman. Conservatives will, of course, are already condemning him for the choice […]

I know, I know, “conservative Republicans” is straight out of the Department of Redundancy Department. Forgive me. Anyway, wanna know how to drive one crazy? Show ’em these Gallup poll results: See that last little light green bar there? The one on the far right that says 42%??? That’s his approval rating among REPUBLICANS. They just hate that. I’m just […]
