This morning on CNN Tom Kean, former member of the 9/11 commission, was talking about how Obama is “taking on to much”, echoing the same right-wing talking point we have heard all year. Let’s think about that. To a Republican like Kean, Obama shouldn’t be focusing on other things besides terrorism. We just had 8 […]
When Sarah Palin had her final book signing in Alaska Todd Palin put out a list of people not allowed to attend. One of them was Shannyn Moore: Sarah Palin’s Wasilla book signing had a few rules. “Per Todd Palin”, three of us were banned. “Public servants” in their police uniforms at a “public event” […]
Can we have more of this please? There are numerous other such public statements that explicitly state we are at war. The difference is this: President Obama doesn’t need to beat his chest to prove it, and – unlike the last Administration – we are not at war with a tactic (“terrorism”), we at war […]
We knew it was only a matter of time before Dick Cheney would crawl out from his undisclosed dungeon of torture and make some really absurd statement: “As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He […]
To keep the record straight on the details about Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, I want to do a quick recap: In 2007, under Bush, two of Abdulmutallab co-conspirators were released from Gitmo and sent to Saudi Arabia. (source) Abdulmutallab was given a visa to the United States in June 2008, despite being on the terrorist watch […]
I am really curious to hear how the wingnuts spin this one: Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al […]
Here’s Fred today: “It really doesn’t matter how President Obama divides the Afghan baby, how he splits the difference between McChrystal and Biden. Because the war has been lost,” Thompson said on his radio show today. “I say this because of one sad and simple fact. The president does not have the will and determination […]
Something interesting is happening that isn’t getting much attention. There seems to be a growing fracture in the GOP over how President Obama is handling the situation in Iran. On one side you have people like John McCain complaining that we aren’t meddling enough in the election, then on the other side Republicans like Mel […]
It’s official. Today at CPAC Rush Limbaugh, spokesman of the RNC, restated his desire for our commander in chief to fail. Like I said earlier, the only other group I remember cheering and going wild over screams of the failure of America is al Qaeda. Luckily it looks like the Democrats aren’t going to let […]
Rush Limbaugh will be addressing CPAC on it’s final day today. I wonder why kind of reception they will give the man who constantly airs his desire for our President to “fail”? Yesterday our troops heard from the commander in chief that the end is near in Iraq and were given a date certain when […]
