From Jerome Armstrong at MyDD: Obama attacking Paul Krugman’s credibility Every 4 years in December, Robert Gibbs, Obama’s communications director, seems to morph into some sort of a zombie that turns on progressives… or maybe he’s always that way. During the last Presidential cycle at this time, Robert Gibbs was the face and spokesperson for the front group that attacked Howard Dean in Iowa with one of the most dispicable TV ads of our times. This cycle, he’s out...

“Movies Rock”, A Real TV Show
Just a note, but if you’re not watching ‘Movies Rock‘ on CBS you are missing a moment in time. It’s a not only a great tribute to Movie Music, that most iconic American artform, but a great showcase for some wonderful talent. Look around the Net if you didn’t see it live and I’m sure you’ll find it in video. Damn, I’m no music or performance critic…but this is a great show. It brings back memories that make my...
A Pearl Harbor Day Shout Out To Ronald Reagan
December 7, 1941 is a day that shall forever be remembered in infamy. It was also the start of a national experience that shows how outrageous it has been for Ronald Reagan to have been given any credit for “ending the Cold War”. This realization came to me when I was reflecting upon the circumstances of what I am becoming more and more confident will eventually be recorded as having been the last “World War”. Perhaps the grandest of...
“Dear Mr. President”

Obama’s BS: Oblique Attacks and the Denial of Reality
Obama’s new campaign commercial that Pamela Leavey posted hits on two of the many reasons I’ve kicked him off my candidate list. This is part of what appears to me to be a very, very calculated old school politician wanting to appear as the very attractive ‘savior’ of America. Lastly, it seems Obama has adopted a “Can’t we all just get along?/Let me help us all get along,” whine/meme. This is disingenuous when he knows as well as anyone...
