As I contemplate this award to Obama based on a nomination made about a week and a half into his presidency, I can already hear the media chorus of “unpatriotic” and “opposing Obama at all costs in all regards.” From my perspective, it’s hard to ignore the fact that the last American president to win [...]
I’ll admit that I laughed when I first heard that the Chicago Olympic bid was rejected in the first round, first one out. I really did. Not because I hate Chicago, or because I hate America or even because I am unpatriotic. Not even because my distaste for Obama outweighs my love for this country. [...]

Freshman Rep. Alan Grayson (D.-Florida) shows the true face of “bipartisan debate” in a segment of Wolf Blitzer’s Situation Room. When called upon to apologize or at least clarify his statement that Republican plan was to have sick Americans “die quickly”, he put on a performance that illustrated perfectly the depths and extremes to which [...]

Hilarious.
Awesome, but there’s no link or clue as to who produced the video or is responsible. The absence of information, of course, is already driving the conspiracy hounds crazy – check out the comments at the YouTube page. The phone number at the end is the US Capitol – rings quite a few times before it’s picked [...]

Thomas Friedman thinks so, and draws a direct parallel between the political atmosphere that existed in Israel at the time of the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and the political atmosphere in present day America.
Others have already remarked on this analogy, but I want to add my voice because the parallels to Israel then and America today [...]

Probably the single defining moment for the health care debate was when Rep. Joe Wilson leaned forward during the president’s address to congress and uttered that one exclamation, “you lie!” in response to the president’s assertion that illegal aliens would not receive medical benefits under the administration’s nascent health care proposals. Once the words cleared Rep. Wilson’s [...]

From the Nader interview in Time Magazine.
What’s your take on Obama so far?
Weak. Waffling, wavering, ambiguous and overwhelmingly concessionary.
Yowza. And this from a man that was interviewed about his new book, a fantasy where
American billionaires come together to save the country and unionize Walmart, end the influence of corporate America on the government and [...]

President Obama failed to get the health care reform measure passed by the August recess as he hoped, and the full-throttle approach that the administration took in getting the legislation passed had some surprising and unintended consequences. For one, it resulted in the emergence of an opposing grass-roots movement that the conservative movement has not [...]

The AP reports that President Obama doesn’t consider compulsary health insurance with fines and penalty for non-compliance a new tax.
President Barack Obama says requiring people to get health insurance and fining them if they don’t would not amount to a backhanded tax increase.
“I absolutely reject that notion,” the president said. Blanketing most of the Sunday [...]

I’m afraid that the biggest challenge facing conservatives in America is keeping an even keel and not letting ourselves to surrender to a new strain of Derangement Syndrome. After eight years of President Bush, many on the left had literally transformed themselves into ogres when it came to any political discussion whatsoever. Even now, as [...]
