You’re So Lame Award of Shame – White Men Howling At the Moon

I swear if I had a dollar for every white man supporting a supremacist agenda that has cried foul, racism, had a pity party and engaged in other mealy-mouth BS over the SCOTUS nominee I’d have quite a few extra in my pocket this week! So let’s clarify that President Obama’s choice of Judge Sonia [...]

This Time Chavez Gives the President A Book Instead of the Middle Finger

Much was made when Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez referred to #43 as El Diablo. Really was that such a big deal? Hadn’t Bush been involved with those that tried to a) overthrow him and b) kill him? And wasn’t it over nationalizing their natural resources and keeping them out of the hands of multi-national corporations [...]

What Did You Think About The PBO Press Conference?

I thought President Obama conducted himself well and answered each increasingly lame and non-important question with more patience than I would’ve had. First CBS’ Chip Reid started with the nonsense. Then CNN’s Ed Henry tried to move an elephant with his obnoxiousness. He may clap his paws with glee over some added attention but he [...]

Highlights from PBO on Leno

I would’ve posted the full interview but all personal videos have been pulled from Youtube over a copyright infringement flag. Mind you the news organizations are able to rerun portions to their hearts content, but the little people…not so much! Here’s the Twitter stream of messages about the interview – and I just found out [...]

Why Are So Many Blacks Unwilling To Offer Valid Critique of President Obama?

In responding to this post by blogger CPL at Jack & Jill Politics, “Does the POTUS Have Problems with African-Americans In His Cabinet?” you’d think she asked if Obama was the anti-Christ. Here’s an excerpt: I have said (and got shot down for my efforts) that who Mr. Obama chooses for his Administration [...]

If the Non State of the Union Speech Was A T-Shirt What Would It Say?

Five weeks into his first term and President Barack Obama addressed both houses of Congress and the world for a big giant pep-talk and assurance that “everything’s gonna be alright”. I have to admit I was feeling pumped up after listening. I heard the sense of urgency in his voice and the way he [...]

Live Blogging the Non-State of the Union Speech on Twitter

Come join us for hijinks and we’ll not take a swig because Bush is gone. Follow hashtags #nsotu. Here’s excerpts released by the White House. We have lived through an era where too often, short-term gains were prized over long-term prosperity; where we failed to look beyond the next payment, the next quarter, or the [...]

Are We Being Prudent or Overly Critical With Obama & the Economy?

I voted for Obama, and I am very hopeful about what he can do, but right now, people are judging Bush’s results against Obama’s intentions. The work is only beginning. – Guy Kawasaki

I saw this in a thread I linked to from Twitter. His statement stopped me cold. I had to pause and [...]

The Stimulus Plan Passed: Where Do We Go From Here?

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope everyone reading this can spend some time amongst loved ones and be grateful for receiving love and support. After much wrangling, compromising and machinations, PBO has been declared the “winner” – at least for this round – against the obstructionists from both major parties who opposed the passage of [...]

Some Light At the End of the Tunnel (?)

So it looks like this stimulus package might just eek out with around 61 Senators. Apparently as many as 3 Republicans may decide to buck the “Block Obama Train” and actually try to assist those they represent so it can pass. Not all Democrats are supporting their party leader by the way. Since I [...]
