President Obama’s latest approval rating (as of today on Gallup) is only 43%. Many on the right are hoping that means Obama is done for and some on the left are quite worried about it.
While it’s certainly not good news for the Democratic Party that Obama’s approval rating is in the low 40s, it’s […]

You can get a “Turn Off Fox: Bad News For America” bumper sticker for free at colorofchange.org — Hopefully this “Turn Off Fox” movement will build momentum because Fox “News” is the biggest source of right wing propaganda in this country. It’s the main place Americans get false information.
Fox’s entire reason for existence (besides […]

President Obama brings the truth:

As their voting record makes clear, the Republicans support the manipulation of the voters by corporate power. That makes sense as a manipulated public is the only way they can get elected. They certainly can’t win based on the facts or rational thinking. That’s why they need to spread lies about […]

The Republicans manage to keep setting new lows in ridiculousness. Their latest “WTF?! You have to be kidding me!?” attack on the President is that he’s taking too much vacation time.
Seriously.
This is the party of George W. Bush who spent nearly a third of his Presidency on vacation (a total of 977 days.) At […]

A great example of this “blaming it on the black guy” is that according to a recent poll more Americans think the bank bailouts (TARP) happened under President Obama (47%) than think they happened under President Bush (34%)! To be clear, the bank bailouts happened under Bush.
Remember: The economy went to hell in September […]

This nonsense about the so called “Ground Zero Mosque” (it’s actually a “Burlington Coat Factory Community Center” that’s two blocks from the WTC site) is just another example of the right wing propagandists making people talk about what they want them to talk about.
Instead of talking about the Republicans stopping the 9/11 first responders […]

For the second straight week Gallup has the Democratic Party up in the “generic ballot” House poll by at least four points (48% to 44% this week.) This is a reversal of fortunes from early June when the Republicans held a 6 point lead.
While this is good news for the Democratic Party, it should […]

There’s an email going around about celebrating President Obama’s 49th birthday on August 4th in a sign of continued support for the President and the positive changes he’s trying to make for our country. It’s a positive response to the negativity and lies coming from the Republicans/Tea Party.
The idea is that everyone who has […]

Click Here for some choice selections from the Republican Party’s 1956 platform
It seems today’s Democratic Party is to the right of the Republican Party of 1956 on many issues… where’s that put the Republicans? They’re so far to the right that they aren’t even on the map anymore.
If our country wasn’t so crazy the […]

President Obama’s most recent approval rating on Gallup is 47%. This is certainly not a great approval rating, but it’s also not particularly bad.
I think it’s definitely worth putting it into context. This 47% mark actually compares favorably to where Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton were at when they were at the same point […]
