Thoughts On the Presidential Forum and More
The Purpose Driven Debate
Okay, so it wasn’t technically a debate, but this was America’s first real look at the two major party presidential candidates, side-by-side.
I admit that I haven’t seen it. I watched a few clips pertinent to what I am going to talk about here, but I have not had a chance to […]

The Surge, Oil Prices, and Windfall Profits…
Obama and the Surge
I was just reading an interview of Sen. Barack Obama by Katie Couric. About a third of the way through the transcript, Ms. Couric struggles to make sense of Sen. Obama’s statement that knowing what he knows now - that the surge was successful in reducing the violence in Iraq - […]

Obama Commercial Contains False Info on Record
Barack Obama takes credit for a bill that he didn’t even vote on in a campaign commercial.
Why?
Some people are taking the angle that since he has no record, he has to make one up, but it seems like there is something more to this. Why would a campaign that has otherwise been run very […]

Hope on a Rope
An Etsy shop called “dugshop” sells an Obama soap on a rope called, what else, “Hope on a Rope.” (Etsy is a website for buying and selling handmade stuff.)
From the website:
What we’ve all been waiting for — a little hope, and Barack’s the man for the job. We made him purple, because we […]

Obama’s Mama
In honor of Mother’s Day, The Boston Globe’s Ellen Goodman had a post about Barack Obama’s mother.
It seems she was a pretty remarkable woman.
Ms. Goodman believes that Sen. Obama’s mother is representative of the typical woman that is supporting Hillary Clinton - women whose votes Obama will need in November - and that he can […]

How About Those “Bitter” Eastern European Immigrants
Mary Grabar, who is of Slovenian descent, reflects on Barack Obama’s “bitter” remarks from the perspective of Central and Eastern European immigrants.
It’s not pretty.
You sneer at those like us who put our faith in God and not in those like you who would presume to know what’s good for us and tell us what to […]

Liberals and Elitism
Being that you are a political blog reader, I assume you heard about Barack Obama’s comments at a California fundraiser regarding the folks over in Pennsylvania.
In case you somehow missed it, let me refresh:
You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs […]

Sunday Afternoon Linkdump: Obama Edition
Barack Obama, the presidential candidate whose campaign website is powered by “hope,” seems to have gotten himself into a bit of controversy.
The Huffington Post has a round-up of sorts, with reactions from across the spectrum, including NRO’s Mark Steyn.
“Obama is meant to be the man who transcends the divisions of race, the candidate who doesn’t […]

The More Things Change…
Is it just me or does Barack Obama seem to get a free pass from the media on everything he says?
I mean, the man says a lot of things that are just begging to be countered.
Take this comment, from a speech Obama gave in Mississippi, for example,
“Everybody always asks ‘well, how come you haven’t already […]

A Different Kind of Campaign
From Barack Obama’s speech in Texas last night,

Just for […]
