    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 [...]

    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 [...]



    judgment day

    I never gave much credence to Hillary or anyone else who argued against Barack Obama on the basis of experience; executive or management experience is always good when you are applying for an executive position, but the post of President and Commander in Chief is so far afield from any other job that it comes down more to judgment, intelligence, critical thinking and world view.

    Happy Father’s Day John

    The “Catch 22” that John McSame is facing. The more he tries to remake himself into a moderate, the more he makes himself look like a phony. And the more he tries to run on the Bush crime family’s neocon policies, the more he makes himself look like a loser.

    Waldman tears Russert a new one

    Over at American Prospect, republished by Common Dreams, I could not help but notice this article, it being a fact that major media control of our country is a major concern to me.

    When Obama finished his answer, Russert [...]
