Obama Bends Again
Among all the socialist advisors to the President, can't he find someone who knows something about protocols to be followed when meeting foreign figures?
We know that Obama on his own hasn't a clue about these things. Why should he? It's not a big issue at Harvard Law School,… Read full post »

Thank God Obama Is So Deliberative
Following in the ample footprints of the lady in New York 23, Abdullah ditto is withdrawing from the approaching run-off election in Afghanistan. If I remember correctly, this election is the very same as that identified by no fewer than two Obama henchmen as the event that required resolution… Read full post »
Obama--Our New Captain Queeg?
Obama--Our New Captain Queeg?
Obama's vacillation on the pressing issue of troop levels in Afghanistan and a host of other issues where he has betrayed campaign promises and avoided important decisions in favor of pursuing photo ops and other self-aggrandizing occasions raises the issue of whether ou… Read full post »
Scozzafava's Heroic Sacrifice
In an earthshattering political move, yet to be reported on S or OS (hmm), Diedre Scozzafava has terminated her campaign for House representative for the 23rd Congressional District in New York State.
This is a really WOW moment, for only two days ago, Ms. Scozzafava and her Democratic opponent… Read full post »
Gay Pride--Legitimate or Undeserved?
The Myths of Gay, Female, and Black Pride
There is certainly no shortage of oppressed minorities in contemporary American life—gays, women, and blacks are certainly high on the list.
Each minority has had its champions, persons who have courageously and notoriously fought for ration… Read full post »
OS seeks new editor
At last!

Joe Lieberman--My Hero
From the beginning of the last, or at least most recent, presidential campaign (after all, even a klutz like Obama can't halt the ongoing electoral process--indeed, his cowardly clumsiness makes its future workings especially critical to the health of this country), I thought that McCain a… Read full post »
Obama: What Kind of Fool Am I?
Obama: What Kind of Fool Am I?
Today’s broadcast of Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, son of the very liberal and iconic Mike Wallace I believe, demonstrated just how ludicrous is the claim by Obama and his advisors that Fox is not a real news network.
After an in-depth inte… Read full post »
The First Family Photo: Not Worth the Probable Price
Obama: A Profile in (What's the Opposite of Courage?)
Obama gets recommendations from his generals as to how to avoid failure in achieving the Afghanistan objectives Obama himself set months earlier. He asks for it to be kept under wraps for awhile so he can think it over. To explain the unexplainable, Rahm Emanuel and John Kerry announce "s… Read full post »
Obama v. Fox
The Fight That Obama Can’t Win
As faithfully chronicled on Salon and more visible sites and media, the list of complaints the Left has against Obama is growing. Obama is not terribly concerned about this for the simple reason that the Left has nowhere else to go. So detainees/… Read full post »
Scam Alert
I just received a long personal message in the mold of the scams that each of us, I am sure, receive as daily catches in our spam filters. Once I got the drift of the message, I didn't bother to read the whole thing (and please, Roger, don't write and tell… Read full post »
Anita Dunn--White House Communications Director
Just saw a heart-rending clip of another eye-sore from the Obama Administration telling a group of high school students that one of her two philosophical favorites was Mao Tse Tung. No, her other favorite was not Adolf Hitler, presumably because he didn't murder nearly enough people to qua… Read full post »
Obama's Gay Stance: Don't Ask (Me When and I), Don't Tell
Obama gummed it again last night with his speech at the gay dinner. Words, but no teeth.
Clinton sought to be all things to all people by coming up with the DADT compromise in the first place. He purportedly did so on the advice of his military leaders, who counseled that… Read full post »
Obama's Unearned Prize
Obama: Peace at Any Prize
Giving the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama is not as surprising as many are saying.
Those who resented the United States and Bush for the then president’s dogged determination to put his country, already first, firster are seeking to reinforce and reward t… Read full post »
Obama's Czar Follies: The Latest
"I hope you used a condom?" Sounds like an advocate of safe sex. That's, I guess, why the speaker is now Obama's Safe School Czar.
The only problem is that the speaker was talking to a teenager who was seeking counsel about his having had sex with a much older man. … Read full post »
"I Detest Cheap Sentiment."
Why the White Coats? Another Obama Blunder
When I was a kid, having men show up in white coats usually meant that someone was about to be carted off to the loony bin.
Now, I'm perfectly prepared to concede that the current head resident of the White House is philosophically putrid, incompetent, and pompous, but I've not yet… Read full post »
Could We Possibly Focus on Obama, the Present President?
There seems to be a proportional relationship between the accumulating missteps of the Obama Administration and interest in past politics. I wonder why.
As Obama waffles on such insignificant matters as homeland bloody security and the struggle against radical Islamic terrorism, as he tells us… Read full post »
Another Obama Blunder
Once again, Obama has managed to charm the birds right back into the trees.
The reasons why Obama should never have lent the prestige of his office to the cause of awarding the Olympic Games to one of the most corrupt and unpleasant cities in the United States as political payback… Read full post »
Obama's Curious Notion of Transparency
Obama’s Wrong Kind of Transparency
Obama made a campaign promise about transparency. He’s kept it, but in exactly the wrong way.
Obama probably knows that the legislative branch of government is separate from the executive. The legislature formulates laws; the exec/… Read full post »
An American Holocaust?
In addition to claiming that Republicans want old sick people to die quickly, Grayson incredibly claims that the country's pre-Obama health care policies represent an American holocaust.
Now nutty, vicious, and insensitive statements on the floor of Congress are nothing new, but Grayson has actually… Read full post »
Public Option Goes Down in Senate
Health Care Reform: A Giant Step Forward
On this subject, interesting things happened today in the Senate (highly significant) and on OS (totally meaningless).
It started with a telephone campaign drummed up by Stellaa, who was at her zealous best and fired up by the possibility tha… Read full post »
Kiddie Brainwashing
Brainwashing the Young
It seems some of Obama’s greatest enemies are his supporters. In the instant case, it’s a couple of deranged school teachers who have composed, and required their kiddie students to perform, paeans to Obama.
My problem is that I see either support… Read full post »
