If you haven’t seen this yet, you need to. It’s President Obama’s question and answer session with the Republican obstructionists in congress at a GOP retreat:

Obama refuted every single Republican talking point with reason & facts. All of the Republican talking points are either outright lies or distortions of fact.
This becomes obvious when their […]

President Obama’s State of the Union Speech »

President Obama gave an amazing speech tonight in which he called on politicians in both parties in both the House & the Senate to get past playing political games and to actually work towards the good of the country for a change.

Books About The 2008 Presidential Campaign »

With not much to say about the 2012 presidential campaign in January of 2010 (Obama’s approval rating is at a decent 50% as of the most recent Gallup polling and he leads all potential Republican opponents in polls) it seems like a reasonable time to take a look back at the 2008 presidential campaign which […]

President Obama’s Stimulus Plan Has Saved or Created About 1.6 Million Jobs »

As bad as the unemployment problem in the US is right now, it’d probably be at least 1.6 million jobs worse if McCain/Palin had won last November.

Renegade by Richard Wolffe »

I bought Renegade: The Making of a President by Richard Wolffe over the weekend and I’m finding it quite fascinating thus far (I’m on page 105.) It’s a close-up look at the 2008 Presidential campaign from the perspective of Barack Obama and his team and as someone who followed the 2008 election extremely closely (I […]

Right Wing Propaganda Network: Fox “News” »

For years Fox “News” has been mislabeling their right wing propaganda as “news” and they are now finally being called out on what they really are (a part of the Republican party) by the Obama administration.
