Halperin: Why Won’t Those Awful Republicans Help the President Win?
I’m as puzzled as Mark Hemingway by this little chunk of propaganda from Mark Halperin. For a guy who was famous for playing cards with his colleagues in the Illinois legislature, Barack Obama isn’t showing much of a poker face these days. The President and his top advisers have betrayed visible annoyance at the Republicans’ failure [...]
Is President Obama a Jimi Hendrix Fan? I Dunno, Was Hendrix Into Mom Jeans?
By now I’m sure you’ve heard that the President got a little colloquial in his Labor Day speech before a friendly Big Labor crowd in Wisconsin. He was doing fine until he decided to improvise about the “powerful interests” who talk about him “like a dog”. This got the blogosphere buzzing. Most of the folks [...]
Here’s What You Need to Know About the President’s Iraq Speech
The President is due to read a speech in just a few minutes on the state of affairs, and our stunning victory, in Iraq. All you really need to know about the speech are three things: The President spent more time turning our Oval Office into something resembling a rich guy’s rumpus room than he [...]
I Don’t Think the President Has Room in His Life for Another God
I’m not prepared to call this Jake Tapper piece journalism.

As best I can tell, the President believes that the Muslims behind the Cordoba Project have the Constitutional right [...]
Maybe This Administration Doesn’t Politic Pretty Good After All.
For reasons known only to himself, the President dispatched his faithful flop-sweater Robert Gibbs to deliver a slap to the President’s most ardent stooges supporters that would have made Moe Howard proud. During an interview with The Hill in his West Wing office, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs blasted liberal naysayers, whom he said [...]
One New Law Every Other Day? No Wonder the President Broke His Promise!
One of the promises President Obama made America while he was on the campaign trail was the “Sunlight before Signing” promise wherein he said he would “not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days”. He promptly broke that promise [...]
What Made Him Think “Mongrel” Was a Good Word to Use?
Oh, Mr. President, the things you say when you’re not reading canned speeches off a screen in front of you. Our Commenter-in-Chief spent this morning on “The View” having a little chit-chat with the Four Yentas of the Apocalypse. Things appeared to be going along rather swimmingly until he delved into the issue of race. [...]
