“My job is to take into account everybody, not just some.”

So argued Obama while shamelessly drawing comparisons between himself and Romney during a commencement speech in Joplin. Never let a crisis go to waste. Or a speech, apparently. But this idea of “I govern everyone” isn’t how liberals govern, and especially not Obama. He surely isn’t the president of Catholics, of supporters of traditional marriage, [...]

Laundry

What a mess! Jeremiah Wright might still bring Obama down. He’s back. And this time, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright threatens to engulf President Obama in a major scandal – one that could doom his re-election. Edward Klein in his recent biography of Mr. Obama, “The Amateur,” interviewed Mr. Wright about the president’s past. On tape and on the record, Mr. Wright claims that [...]

Don’t steal his thunder: why Obama finally came out of the closet

Of course it was the ego. I was tied up yesterday after reading news in the morning. Even then, I wasn’t surprised the Prez flip-flopped–oh, excuse me, evolved– his position on gay marriage. He just came out of the closet about what he advocated in 1996.  With liberals weeping in their coffee Wednesday morning after the [...]

Quandary

Byron York highlights Barack Obama’s quandary: he’s fulfilled the secret desires of liberals who now despise him. What to do, after we’ve pulled out of Iraq, passed nationalized healthcare,  and created a juggernaut of government bureaucracy, regulation and spending. York: Meanwhile, the president’s approval ratings are hitting new lows, with his job approval rating bouncing [...]

Sand trap optics

Rather than skip that lush vacay at Martha’s Vineyard, Obama has started skipping holes at the golf course to avoid photographers. He knows it looks bad. Heh: Approaching the eighth tee in a golf cart with friend and frequent golfing buddy Eric Whitaker, the president noticed three TV cameras and a Globe photographer across the street. [...]

Would he quit?

Be careful what you wish for, eh? Ed Morrissey ponders the ultimate: what if Obama chose not to run for reelection? What’s at stake beyond the Oval Office next November: But the decision may end up being out of his hands if the political environment doesn’t improve.  Obama’s numbers are plummeting in places Democrats can [...]

One more slap

What part of respecting family wishes do you not understand, Mr. President? If this had been GW, the press would be aghast, agape and agog over the insensitivity. From the AP [emphasis mine]: A White House photographer was allowed to take and widely distribute a photo from the ceremony Tuesday for the return of the remains of [...]

Communist slayer Lech Walesa declines Obama photo op

Supposedly due to a “scheduling” problem, and he wishes Obama well. Via AFP: Lech Walesa, Poland’s Solidarity-era leader, ex-president and 1983 Nobel Peace Prize winner said Friday he would not accept an invitation to meet fellow Nobel winner US President Barack Obama. “I expect this meeting would only amount to a photo opportunity,” Walesa told [...]

To Parry or not to, Perry

My GOP fantasies still get the better of me.  No Christie, no Paul, what to do to avoid four more years of this obnoxiousness on top of incompetence. This, from Allahpundit, caught my eye: Still, why not Perry? He has more than a decade of experience leading one of America’s biggest states, can boast economic growth at [...]

“Only a liberal ass, operating on full moron” would decide paying troops isn’t essential

AJ Strata calls a moron, well, a moron: Only a liberal ass – operating on full moron – would attempt to use military pay as a way to try and scare or coerce budget discussions. Especially after congressional majorities of liberal asses – on full moron – failed to pass a budget for the year [...]
