I was just reading Cohen’s latest piece of crap-o-la over at the WaPo. First let’s start with this: Attorney General Eric Holder has named a special prosecutor to see whether any of the CIA’s interrogators broke the law. Special prosecutors are often themselves like interrogators — they don’t know when to stop. They go on […]
Matt Taibbi: I’ll say this for George Bush: you’d never have caught him frantically negotiating against himself to take the meat out of a signature legislative initiative just because his approval ratings had a bad summer. Can you imagine Bush and Karl Rove allowing themselves to be paraded through Washington on a leash by some […]
I had noticed that Rasmussen seemed to change their way they track presidential approvals once Obama took office. Rasmussen had always had a variable approval rating system. They ask if you strongly approve, somewhat approve, somewhat disapprove or strongly disapprove of the President’s performance. On the surface that doesn’t seem to bad, but during Bush’s […]
Remember when Joe Biden said someone would really test Obama early in his presidency? Well I would consider the pirates capturing U.S. ships and crew as a test, and after yesterday’s news of the Hollywood style rescue of captain Richard Phillips, it looks like he passed his first big military test. For President Obama, last […]
A new PEW Research poll is out showing that President Obama is more “polarizing” than any other President. The poll finds that Obama has very high approval from Democrats, 88 percent, and very low approval from Republicans, 27 percent. The 61-point partisan gap eclipses George W. Bush’s 51-point gap in his first year, and that […]
Something else has changed in a big way this year – my reaction to the righties. Before I used to get pissed at their lies and hate they constantly spewed out, but now it’s funny, albeit in a very sad way. One example of this was the stimulus debate. Republicans opposed it hands down. Pretty […]
Jon Stewart has some fun with the hypocrisy on the right going on now over Obama’s presidency.
So Obama retook the oath of office last night after John Roberts screwed up the original one on Tuesday. Will that make the wingnuts happy? Of course not. So now FOX and the rest of the right has something to bitch about. I’m sure they will try to claim this also nullifies his presidency, even […]
Sarah Palin is a big liar. Last week she blew off reports of an audit of the clothes. Now it turns out there is one: Her father, Chuck Heath, said Palin spent part of the weekend going through her clothing to determine what belongs to the Republican Party. “She was just frantically … trying to […]
No Republican has ever won the Presidency without Ohio. Buh-bye John!
