    Five Minutes With Michael Moore

    Michael Moore has a new letter to President Obama blaming the President’s mistakes and flip flops on Rahm Emanuel.  Michael has it wrong here.  The mistake was Obama’s hiring of Rahm in the first place.  Remember the old saying that President Truman had on his desk, “The Buck Stops Here”?

    I just read that Goldman Sacks may be stealing $100,000,000 every trading day.  And [...]



    President’s Achievements Listed

    From a Columbian letter to the editor today:

    In her Feb. 13 letter, “President should have more influence,” Ann Harris asked was her vote wasted on Barack Obama? What has he accomplished in a year? I would answer: the stimulus package; tax reductions; elimination of the F-22 fighter program, saving millions; Sonia Sotomayor; Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act; expansion of SCHIP to [...]

    Bipartisanship Equals Selling Out The People

    Cenk Uygur has a fantastic post today about how bipartisanship is used as a foil to enable the Democrats to sell us out just like the Republicans sell us out to big corporate interests.  For those of you out there that thought the Democrats were different, this article goes a long way to explaining why their differences are not manifesting themselves now that they are [...]



    Lead From The Heart And Forget Bi-Partisanship

    President Obama should not listen to the cries to “lead from the center” and he should forget completely about bi-partisanship with regard to his priorities. I never thought I would say this but the President needs to take a lesson from Bush II. Do you remember any articles in the mainstream media saying Bush should lead from the center? Did Bush really [...]

    Are Deaniacs Coming Back?

    The Observer of Guardian Uk has an article about the resurgence of Howard Dean in the national debate concerning health insurance reform and as champion of a rebellion within the Democratic Party.

    Much of the success of Obama’s campaign was copied from Howard Dean’s original campaign for the Presidency.  However now that we are a year into the Obama presidency, it is evident that “Obama the [...]
