We strongly support President Obama and what he trying to do as far as health care, the environment, education, and the economy but we must call him out when he is wrong and he is certainly wrong in his stance against legalizing marijuana to help the economy.
During today’s “internet forum” he gave an arrogant […]

The National Review:

Yes, somehow the National Review is somehow simultaneously claiming that Barack Obama is a “socialist” and also “in bed with big business.” I think that tells you everything you need to know about how baseless the right wing smears on the President are. They should be roundly ignored.
Obama’s Teleprompter
Amazingly the right wingers […]

I strongly believe that the drug war must be ended and I have explained why many times before (click here for a recent post on why marijuana should be legalized.)
I think it’s important that those who believe that the drug war is wrong speak up and let President Obama know how they feel on […]

President Obama will become the first sitting President to appear on a late night program tonight when he visits with Jay Leno.
The Tonight Show is aired at 11:30 PM on NBC.

Certainly the Bush Recession/Depression is not over yet. It’s not even close to over. But that doesn’t mean there are not some exceptional deals available in the stock market. Some deals that could make you and me a lot of money during the “Obama Recovery” that I believe is coming.
There are some huge companies […]

The real solution to the health care crisis facing the United States is single payer health care. That means true universal health care done the European way. No health insurance companies should be involved. In fact, health insurance companies shouldn’t even exist.
The MSM isn’t saying much about single payer. Why not? Because of the billions […]

The Republicans appear to be in danger of becoming a fringe party that only appeals to the type of people who don’t think Rush Limbaugh is a moronic gasbag. And luckily for the future of this country the amount of Americans who are deluded enough to have a favorable opinion of Limbaugh is lower than […]
