According to the latest Gallup poll released today 52% of Americans approve of President Obama’s job as President while 41% disapprove.
If you compare these numbers to the 2008 election results (Obama won 53% of the vote while John McCain won 46%) it’s clear Obama has not lost support as President. The same majority of […]

There’s a new grassroots movement brewing: The Coffee Party. This movement is an adult alternative to the childish tea parties ( “tea parties are for little girls with imaginary friends.” )
How the Coffee Party differs from the Tea Party:

+ A true grassroots movement rather than an “astroturf” movement created to […]

Go to MoveOn.org to get contact information for your Senators so that you can ask them to support the public option through reconciliation.
We live in a democracy and that means we should only need 51 votes out of 101 (Vice President Joe Biden is the tie breaking vote) in order to pass legislation. The […]

Next Wednesday (February 24th) there will be a “Virtual March on Washington” for Health Care Reform.
Blue Cross recently increased premiums by 39% in California despite the fact that Blue Cross made $4.7 billion in profit last year. If that doesn’t make it obvious why we need health care reform then I guess you have a […]

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 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. Watching this speech tonight was like watching an adult speaking to a room […]

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 […]

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.
The Republican approach to fixing economic problems is basically this: “Do nothing and eventually the market will correct itself.” This is exactly what Republican Herbert Hoover did from […]

Despite the President’s approval ratings slipping below 50% for the first time recently, Obama still leads his potential 2012 GOP challengers in head to head match-ups in a new set of PPP polls:
Obama 49% Mike Huckabee 44%
Obama 48% Mitt Romney 43%
Obama 51% Sarah Palin 43%
Obama 46% Ron Paul 38%
