The first episode of the new series V demands a second viewing. Maybe even a third. Did a major television network really greenlight a show mocking the hope ‘n’ change express via an invading alien horde? The series, a sleek upgrade of the cheesy 1980’s model, follows a smooth-talking, hope-spreading alien race who come in peace. But their platitudes are only skin deep. Lizard skin deep, for those who recall the source material. The show...  

William Ayers, the former member of the Weather Underground, and Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Pres. Obama’s former pastor, did not visit the White House at any time during the nine months Obama has been in office. But you wouldn’t know that if you had read a bunch of right-wing commentary about the release of the White House [...]  

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says she thinks President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize because of "his attitude toward America's role in the world." "His willingness to really kind of challenge everyone ... restores a kind of image and appreciation of our country," Clinton said in an NBC "Today" show interview broadcast Monday.

Way back in the fall of 2008, when some people were terribly concerned that then-senator Barack Obama had met a former terrorist named Bill Ayers, a few conservatives came up with a truly mindboggling conspiracy theory: That Ayers had written Barack Obama's acclaimed memoir, "Dreams Of My Father". Of course, there wasn't any proof, so the rumor died and was forgotten. But every so often, it returns from the grave. This time around the impetus...  

Newsmax.com: A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 27 percent of voters think Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would be doing a better job as president, while 49 percent say she would be performing about the same. That’s about 70 percent that say a hypothetical ‘President Hillary’ would be doing as well or better than President Barack Obama. Meanwhile, just 14 percent of U.S. voters say Hillary Clinton would be doing...  

Visitors logs released by the White House late Friday afternoon show that a host of prominent people have been spending time at the executive mansion, including liberal powerhouses George Soros and former vice president Al Gore.

Filed under: The Daily FLOTUS with Lynn SweetRush Limbaugh zipped off one-liners -- the toughest aimed at Secretary of State/former senator/former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and the most condescending at First Lady Michelle Obama -- when he was asked by NBC's Jamie Gangel to play word association in a "Today" show interview broadcast Tuesday morning.Here goes: President Obama: "Disaster" Michelle Obama: "Garden. Plants a garden out...  

An Oct. 31 NewsBusters "open thread" begins:For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: The White House visitors list.Let's dig through this baby and find some of the gems. Clearly, William Ayers HAS to jump out at you...but don't say Obama's been palling around with him! NewsBusters thus joins other right-wingers in trumpeting how Ayers, Jeremiah Wright and Michael Moore are on the list without noting that, as Think Progress...  

WASHINGTON -- Barack Obama thought seriously about picking Hillary Clinton as his running mate but thought Bill Clinton would be "too big a complication," according to a new book by former campaign manager David Plouffe. "What surprised me at [our first meeting to discuss the vice presidency] was that Obama was clearly thinking more seriously about picking Hillary Clinton than Ax (David Axelrod) and I had realized," Plouffe writes in the new...

Last Friday we posted an article on these pages asserting Bill Ayers' authorship of President Barack Obama's 'Dreams From My Father,' based on claims made by Obama biographer Christopher Andersen. It is possible that we have now gotten direct confirmation of this from Bill Ayers himself. Anne Leary of Back Yard Conservative was passing through Washington, DC's Reagan National Airport yesterday, and was surprised to come across Bill Ayers at...  

    1) Circa 1994/1995, Bill Ayers ghostwrites Dreams from My Father. 2) Barack Hussein Obama Jr thereby agrees to the publication of a fictional account of his own life, which includes a tale of a bogus Caucasian girlfriend who is in fact based on William Ayers's memories of his deceased lover, Diana Oughton. 3) Diana Oughton has perished in the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion of 1970, and Ayers has gone on to marry Bernardine Dohrn...  

Have you heard the one about how leftist terrorist boogeyman Bill Ayers secretly wrote Barack Obama's memoirs? You will! Because Ayers just admitted it! Crazy World Net Daily make-believe "journalist" Jack Cashill decided Bill Ayers secretly wrote Dreams From My Father because a) Barack Obama is too stupid to write a good book and b) Bill Ayers and Barack Obama are best friends forever. All of his "evidence" is things like "both men use the...  

In October 2008, Jack Cashill penned a much discussed blog, in which he suggested the possibility that Bill Ayers actually was the ghost writer for Barack Obama’s powerful memoir, Dreams From My Father. Later, he wrote yet another blog, reporting about many who sent him more material that they thought would corroborate his original suspicions about authorship of Obama’s first memoir. Responding to Cashill’s work, I wrote my own blog about...
