President Obama has sent out a video message to the world, but mostly it is targeted to the people of Iran.

Chuck Hagel was on Rachel Maddow last night and he went all out against the Republican Party, from putting a lot of blame for the economic mess on their shoulders, to defending Obama from Cheney’s recent comments. One thing that really stuck out to me was when Hagel was asked about Michael Steele and his […]

So the big talk from the right is this: Russia could use bases for its strategic bombers on the doorstep of the United States in Cuba and Venezuela to underpin long-distance patrols in the region, a senior air force officer said Saturday. “This is possible in Cuba,” General Anatoly Zhikharev, chief of the Russian air […]

One thing about Rasmussen – they never cease to amaze: Edward C. Johnson III, chairman of Fidelity Investments, said recently of government efforts to jump-start the economy, “We can only hope that the government’s cure doesn’t further sicken the patient.” Sixty-five percent (65%) of U.S. voters agree with Johnson in a new Rasmussen Reports national […]

There has been so much talk lately trying to blame the market on Obama. Bob has been keeping track of MSNBC’s usage of a graph tracking the market since election day.

Well according to a new NBC/WSJ poll, that isn’t the view of a majority of the public (link – pdf): Also this poll has Obama’s approval continuing to rise. Enjoying that rise with Obama is Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party. Not enjoying […]

Limbaugh proves in an email exchange with Greg Sergeant that he is one very close minded individual. He won’t even hypothesis if Obama’s economic policies will work – instead insisting that they will fail. That kind of thinking is what the Republican party is holding up as their mantra now. They bow to it and […]

Of course that isn’t the headline Rasmussen went with from this poll. Instead they chose to go with this: 49% Say Obama Should Delay Health Care Reform Until Economy Is Better So take a number the right will love and use that, instead of the truly astonishing number that says over 3/4 of this country […]

Without reading past my headline, I wonder how many on the right would quickly see that, especially if it appeared on a site like DKos or Huffington Post, and start yelling calling me an America hater? Well I don’t wish for our troops to fail in the least. That’s why I never said things like […]
