As a follow-up to my post on Christmas Eve about all of the great things President Obama has done that a President McCain would not have done; read this list of the top 10 accomplishments of the 111th congress.

With it being Christmas tomorrow it seems like a good time to remember how lucky we are that we do not have a President McCain in the White House right now. Often times people seem to only focus on the things about the Obama administration they are unhappy with instead of appreciating all of the [...]

The latest Gallup presidential approval poll (released today) have President Obama at 49% which is the highest it has been at since early June (the last time he reached 50%.) This is a gain of 6% points from the 43% he was at earlier in the month. This is an indication that voters are responding [...]

If President Obama wins either Florida or North Carolina he is very likely to win reelection. New polling from PPP has the President up in both states against all four leading GOP candidates (with one exception: Huckabee is up by 1% point in NC.) Florida Obama 46% Mitt Romney 44% Obama 49% Mike Huckabee 44% [...]

There is strong polling evidence that Sarah Palin is easily the worst candidate for the Republicans in a general election match-up against President Obama. She performs so terribly in these polls that it seems likely that not only would she lose to Obama by huge margins but that she would also hurt Republicans in down [...]

Don’t Ask Don’t Tell repeal is almost a certainty now that it has been able to pass a Republican filibuster! John McCain did everything he could to stop repeal. To those who say there is “no difference” between the parties: You are wrong. Today equality is coming to the military because of the millions of [...]

Republicans in the Senate successfully blocked an up or down vote on the Dream Act with a filibuster today. While almost every Democratic Senator voted for it, all but three Republicans voted against it. The Dream Act has majority public opinion support (along with many other bills the Republicans are blocking) and is just clearly [...]

A new poll from Washington Post/ABC News of possible 2012 Presidential matchups includes good news for President Obama and very bad news for Sarah Palin. Not only does President Obama beat Alaska’s former half term Governor Sarah Palin 53% to 40% in a head to head general election matchup, but 59% of Americans say that [...]

Watch The Daily Show’s last episode of the year. Jon Stewart talks about the 9/11 first responders bill which (the Republicans in the Senate are blocking) and how the mainstream media is ignoring it. He interviews some first responders and possible 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. What the Republicans are doing in blocking health [...]
