Do You Feel Different?

The swearing in of Barack Obama has come and gone as the world said goodbye to President Bush and ushered in a new era of hope and change. So the question I pose to you is, do you feel different?
For me, not so much. I do understand the historical aspect of having the first black [...]

The Afghanistan Blues

Team Obama is already talking about their new approach to Afghanistan.
Obama got a great deal of campaign mileage out of his belief that the US ‘took its eye off the ball’ by fighting in Iraq instead of the `real war’ in Afghanistan, even though bin-Laden himself declared Iraq was al-Qaeda’s central front on their war [...]

Dean Lowers Nutroot Expectations in Conference Call

Earlier I wrote about the outrage expressed by nutroot bloggers over the decision to let Joe Lieberman keep his chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Oversight Committee.
In the wake of that outrage Howard Dean held a blogger conference call with unhinged lefty bloggers, including Jane Hamsher of Firedog Lake. Those paying attention remember Hamsher as [...]

Media Malpractice - How Obama Got Elected

Hat Tip Michelle Malkin:
On November 4th, 2008 millions of Americans were shocked that a man of Barack Obama’s limited experience, extreme liberal positions and radical political alliances could be elected President of the United States.

Apparently Obama Does Believe in Guilt by Association

The office of President-elect Barack Obama has sent out a stiff seven-page questionnaire to those seeking high-ranking posts in his administration. The application delves deeply into the activities of family members and one’s associations.
According to the New York Times, Obama “has elevated the vetting even beyond what might have been expected.”
The application includes 63 requests [...]

Hamas Says They Met Obama Advisers In Gaza

Well, that’s certainly no surprise to me:
Ahmad Yousuf, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh’s political advisor, said that during the recent US presidential race a secret meeting between senior Islamist group figures and advisors to President-elect Barack Obama was held in Gaza.
“We were in contact with a number of Obama’s aides through the Internet, and later met [...]

Bush Angry At Obama’s Leaks From Yesterday’s Meeting…

I simply can’t imagine why Bush would be angry at this.
Just hours after President Bush and President-elect Obama met in the Oval Office of the White House, details of their confidential conversation began leaking out to the press, igniting anger from the president, sources claim.
For all my dislike of the things he’s done during his [...]

Iran At America’s Back Door

I’ve heard people say Iran is no threat to the United States, that they don’t have the capability to deliver missiles from Iran to the U.S. Maybe not, but they don’t need to have that capability to harm Americans. Iran is using our Southern neighbors as an open door to the U.S. [...]
