it’s biden
Did you really think that Barack would tell you his pick before the media found out? That’s some kind of faith, I must say. Biden’s hardly the most exciting choice, and I can understand why some of you may be disappointed. But it does change one calculation by McCain — he can’t pick a VP [...]
sense and nonsense
Guess I don’t know much about the VP selection process — because I thought that Obama would have to pick one of Dick Morris’s boring white guys (Evan Bayh) to bring some balance to the ticket. He still could pick Bayh or Tim “The Eyebrow” Kaine to keep this team from getting too much buzz [...]
dnc math
So if 1.3 million dollars in contributions from big oil means that John McCain is “in the pocket of big oil”, then what does Barack’s $400,000 from big oil mean? Apparently nothing if you’re the DNC or the average Democrat. Jake Tapper also mentions that employees of big oil individually have given slightly more money [...]
mccain is jealous
Maureen Dowd, New York Times columnist and self-appointed expert on human behavior, says that’s the reason McCain has been acting so mean toward poor Barack Obama and hitting him with those frivolous ads.
She says:
Now John McCain is pea-green with envy. That’s the only explanation for why a man who prides himself on honor, a man [...]
the one
Sometimes Barack unknowingly descends into self-parody, and all John McCain and my fellow Republicans are trying to do is to help him set more realistic expectations for himself. The reason many of McCain’s ads are about Barack is because that’s the decision the voters are making here — whether Senator Obama is ready to lead [...]
the ’s’ word
Investor’s Business Daily is brave enough to go there — calling Barack Obama’s Global Poverty Act suspiciously similar to a government redistribution of US taxpayer wealth. Well, technically they use the ’s’ word. Socialism. That’s a heavy charge, and it’s one that needs to be backed up with specific examples. This op-ed makes a convincing [...]
barack and michelle’s excellent adventure
If you want to read Barack’s Berlin speech, go here. No average citizen of the world gets to make that speech. I can’t call Chancellor Merkel and book time to speak to the people of Germany in a historic place. So it’s somewhat disingenuous of Obama to insist that he has this opportunity to speak [...]
demint to obama: you’ve got mail
Have I mentioned lately how much I love Senator DeMint?
Senator Jim DeMint writes to Obama requesting hearings on Afghanistan(pdf here — h/t Sister Toldjah):
Dear Senator Obama,
In the coming days, I understand you will travel to Afghanistan for the first time and visit with a few of our European partners. Like my travels to these regions, [...]
same difference
Senator Obama to the National Council of La Raza:
That’s what’s at stake this November. This election is nothing less than a test of our allegiance to the American Dream. And it’s a test of our commitment to all those who are counting on us to keep that Dream alive - the people you serve every [...]
stubborn
I’ve said from the very beginning that I don’t believe that John McCain ever changed his mind about comprehensive immigration reform, so Byron York’s column in The Hill doesn’t surprise me. McCain is quoted as saying that he learned his lesson from the immigration fight. On the other hand, he still says that he’s glad [...]
