Obama to pull a Ryan?

Monday, November 12, 2012

Now that the election is over, and having successfully circled the wagons to protect our guy, it is incumbent upon us to maintain our positions, turn our attention inward, and form a circular firing squad. Let me be among the first to take a shot, though, as always, as I work days (even on this [...]

I should have gotten a copyright

Wednesday, September 26, 2012

Okay, so I went here today, and find to my surprise, that Jon Stewart has introduced a new segment entitled “Barack Obama is the luckiest dude on the planet” or something to that effect. Here’s the video: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c Democalypse 2012 – Every Which Way [...]

Business as usual

Monday, April 30, 2012

I, of course, don’t know the whole back-story on this. Maybe, really, truly, the guy wasn’t encouraged to resign. But isn’t it time that the Obama folks just started saying “fuck you” to these people, instead of throwing their own under the bus?

Obama video

Sunday, March 18, 2012

I’ve been a critic, but when you compare Obama to what we could have gotten, or could get, it’s hard to complain too much. This well done video does a great job of highlighting Obama’s achievements, which none of us should forget.

Opposing birth control no political winner

Thursday, February 9, 2012

A few thoughts on the ginned up birth control controversy. First, Obama cannot win votes by caving, he can only lose them.  From what I understand, the pundits are convinced that this is a big deal, believing as they always do that the great unwashed are too stupid and unsophisticated to do anything but side [...]

Obama Sings

Saturday, January 21, 2012

 He can drive you crazy sometimes, but you can’t help liking him. That may be the key to this year’s election, since you can’t help loathing the competition.

Thank Obama

Wednesday, January 4, 2012

I’ve been critical of Obama on many occasions, but when he does good, he deserves credit and our thanks. Today he made some recess appointments that have given the Republicans the vapors. Go to Kos and thank him here. Somewhere I saw that this might lead to a Republican push for impeachment. Wouldn’t that be [...]

A mystery

From Firedoglake: When Barack Obama ran for president he promised to respect the states’ medical marijuana laws. But since tak ing office Obama has been steadily using more and more parts of the federal government to wage a war on medical marijuana.His Administration’s actions as of late have become so aggressively anti-medical marijuana that the [...]

Obama moves left

Monday, October 3, 2011

So, the Obama campaign is tacking left in order to win the presidential election, after spending the past three years tacking right in pursuit of the White Whale, otherwise known as the mythical homogeneous independent voters. So, we’ll be hearing a lot about Obama protecting Social Security and Medicare, which is probably good, because it [...]

Obama’s education agenda

Friday, September 16, 2011

This is something that was under my radar, so I pass it along in case it’s escaped notice generally. In the current New York Review of Books Diane Ravitch reviews two books, one of which is Class Warfare, by Steve Brill, in which Brill argues that union busting and charter schools, among other right wing [...]
