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’…

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 […]

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 […]

Cross-posted at The Daily Kos. Citing his need to be well-rested for Saturday’s Final Four games which begin at 6:00 p.m. Eastern, President Barack Obama today announced that he will be returning early from the G-20 Summit in Europe. Additionally, he has cancelled all visits with leaders of various countries around the world including Britain, Russia, China, India and South […]
