Media: Damn liberal media …

I am continually sickened at how the liberal media protects Barack Obama. Case in point:
Officials of the U.S. Secret Service say there is nothing they could have done to avoid an incident yesterday in which Barack Obama was heckled by a strangely behaving man in the press section during an appearance at an Ohio college.
The [...]

Politics: ‘I’ll see you at the debates, bitches’


Paris makes sense. Her plan would address short turn concerns about high prices by increasing supply, and help lower demand in the long run by stimulating technological innovation.
One quibble, however. There already are incentives in place for electric vehicles. My parents drive one, and the tax credit usually puts some [...]

Politics: Obama charging for access, too

I was not the only blogger who criticized last week’s Aaron Schock fundraiser because it cost $500 to get in the door and another $5,000 to get a picture taken with President Bush.
But local blogger Red Dot in a Blue State points out that many of those who scorned the GOP are silent about the [...]

Politics: Sexist Obama?

What’s with the “sweetie?”

The chicks really hate to be called “sweetie,” especially when they are the masculine type who don’t want to stay home and cook and clean for her man.
End sarcasm.

Politics: Obama education policy bad news for science

Yesterday I stumbled across an opinion column by Lee Cary that dissects Barak Obama’s science “priorities.”
While I do think that, in a very short period of time, private enterprise is going to usurp government access to space, that time has not yet arrived. We need to close the gap between the Shuttle and Orion, not [...]

News: Obama, McCain are less ‘tepid’ on Tibet than Bush

Out of curiosity, I went looking for any statements Barack Obama and John McCain might have made regarding the crackdown the communist Chinese government is doing in occupied Tibet.
I found this in an Associated Press article:
McCain did not discuss the issue during a 45-minute meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but told reporters later the [...]

Politics: Obama too close to 60’s left-wing terrorists?

There’s no real dirt to sling at Barack Obama — except for tight-wingers constantly reminding us that his middle name is Hussein — so they are bringing up this sort of stuff:
In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of [...]

Barak Obama is black, and so are a lot of other people.

This very interesting blog entry from ABC News reporter Jake Tapper delves into a key campaign strategy of The Bill & Hillary Show. That strategy is to keep reminding folks that Barak Obama is, in fact, still black. Of course, the candidate herself does not do this, she has her running mate do it for [...]

Politics: Obama is certainly cuter than Clinton

I mean look at this picture:

CUTLINE: Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., listens to a voter’s remarks at the Littleton Community center, Monday, Nov. 26, 2007, in Littleton, N.H. ‘We don’t need somebody who can play the game better. We need somebody to put an end to the game plan,’ Obama said Monday, portraying [...]

Politics: Obama smells blood in the water

Ann Althouse has this quote from Barack Obama:
“Sen. Clinton is claiming basically the entire eight years of the Clinton presidency as her own, except for the stuff that didn’t work out, in which case she says she has nothing to do with it,” said Barack Obama.
“There is no doubt that Bill Clinton had faith in [...]

Politics: Oprah is the new Obama Girl

Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Barack Obama has confirmed that Oprah (so famous, she only needs one name) will actually make campaign appearances on his behalf. This is a woman who has made a successful caraar out of telling peoeple what to feel about certain issues, not to mention telling us that [...]

Politics: Is Clinton trying to ’swiftboat’ Obama?

On her blog, the Chicago Sun-Times Lynn Sweet says the Clintonistas might be doing just that:
Starting an unusual series of heated exchanges between the two front-running presidential campaigns was a three paragraph item in Novak’s Sunday Chicago Sun-Times column that says “agents of Sen. Hillary Clinton are spreading the word in Democratic circles that [...]

Politics: Obama supports Net Neutrality

For those who click on YouTube videos, here is what he said when asked during an MTV forum whether for his position on NetNeutrality:

“Would you make it a priority in your first year of office to re-instate Net Neutrality as the law of the land? And would you pledge to only appoint FCC commissioners that [...]

Everything Between linked to my post about the sniveling politically correct cowards who run the Daily Illini. But I really enjoyed his post about Barack Obama at the Gridiron Club.
