Way to go Mr. President: Faced with an unprecedented level of obstruction in the Senate, the President announced his intention to recess appoint fifteen nominees to fill critical administration posts. While the President respects the critical role the Senate plays in the appointment process, he was no longer willing to let another month go by […]
There has been this new meme developing since the SOTU address that President Obama somehow breeched protocol or tradition by criticizing the Supreme Court’s decision on allowing unlimited money to flow from corporations to campaigns. This seems to be mostly fueled by the right, including some who are also critical of the decision. I wonder […]
A couple of things really caught my eye yesterday. It seems like so many are quick to jump on President Obama about things he has no control over. First off we have a video that Andrew Breitbart put together of numerous times that President Obama said that the negotiations healthcare should be opened. This has […]
When you buy a gun you may have a background check, depending on where you buy it from. Go to a local gun show and buy one from some fellow enthusiast there and chances are you won’t receive a background check, unless that person is registered as a federal dealer. That’s the extent of it. […]

The OpEd page editor is now filing complaint with EEOC alleging […]
When you show such hatred for the President then you will believe anything: It really gets to be pretty pathetic sometimes, watching the conservatives grasp at every straw they can in order to attack and discredit a president they don’t like. If you listened to Rush Limbaugh today or visited Fox Nation, then you might […]
I’m sure the right is outraged over Supreme Court Justice David Souter announcing his retirement only a few months into a Democratic administration. They probably view it as the final deception by the George H.W. Bush choice who turned out to be more to the left than right. Now we get the media frenzy over […]
