Obamamania

Each day of the Obama presidency seems to bring a new, perversely delicious irony. Last week, on the same day that Mr. Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize solely for being the "anti-Bush," former President George W. Bush got a lovely prize of his own: the growing appreciation of the American people. Public Policy Polling released a new survey that showed that while 50 percent preferred Mr. Obama to Mr. Bush, a stunning 44 percent preferred Mr...  

UPDATE THOUGHT: When your site is pro-Obama, and you find yourselves gleaning the archives for a primary video of Hillary Clinton taking down Obama, you know that, not only has the fire gone out of your besotted romance with The One, but that Obama himself has jumped the shark. —————————- Andy sent me this clip tonight [...]  

Clinton said that President Barack Obama's plan of action for human rights going forward consisted of four strategies: accountability, principled pragmatism, partnering with organizations working to achieve the same goals, and focusing ...  

First Lady Michelle Obama boarded Air Force One with her husband Wednesday night and flew to Oslo, Norway for her fifth overseas trip this year. She was in the audience when he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on Thursday, an improbable award at this early stage of his presidency, but in line with the unlikely journey the couple has undertaken. It was three years ago this December that then-Sen. Barack Obama firmed up his self-described...  

Sarah Palin is on the cover of Newsweek, but she's not happy about it. In an image taken from a Runner's World photo shoot, the former governor wears running shorts and sneakers. Palin blasted the selection in a Facebook note, writing "The Runner's World magazine one-page profile for which this photo was taken was all about health and fitness - a subject to which I am devoted and which is critically important to this nation. The out-of-context...  

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. Clinton said she didn't think winning the award would have any...  

For the last several months, President Obama has been trying to answer Sen. Obama's questions. The president's Afghanistan strategy review has been focused on the same issues Obama raised with Condoleezza Rice in January 2007, when he was on the Senate foreign relations committee and she was testifying about the troop surge in Iraq. Sen. Obama wanted to know how the president was going to force a reluctant partner to perform and when the...  

Since Barack Obama's emergence as the democratic presidential candidate, his wife's fashion choices have become a cultural phenomenon. Now that Michelle Obama is our first lady, it is hard to open any fashion or gossip magazine without finding at least half a page to her latest looks.  

The decision to award Mr. Obama the peace prize was made during the period of irrational exuberance - the Obamamania - that attended his ascent to power. Nominations closed Feb. 1, when he had been in office less than two weeks. The lingering sense developed that the noteworthy achievement the committee wanted to recognize was either that Mr. Obama was not George W. Bush, or that he was black. Unless you are Barack Hussein Obama, you generally...  

During Barack Obama’s campaign stop last week in Allentown, Pennsylvania, he scratched his head with his middle finger as he named the mayor of Bethlehem, John Callahan, a Hillary Clinton supporter. Right before the 2008 election, presidential candidate Barack Obama made a remark about his opponent, John McCain. As he made the remark, Obama scratched his face with his middle finger. Rush Limbaugh and others were quick to ask if Obama was...  

Everyone's spilling ink over President Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, so I might as well get in on the act.Most of the conventional wisdom is, I think rarely, pretty spot on. The prize was awarded too early for too little, but given that fact Mr. Obama made the best of an awkward situation.I think it's also true that the Nobel committee awarded the prize, in large measure, because Mr. Obama is not George W. Bush. Mr. Bush...  

Boston (DbTechNo) - Barbara Walters has named Michelle Obama as the most interesting person of 2009. This announcement is kind of ironic as last year, it was her husband who was named as the most interesting person of 2008. Obama beat out some pretty big names on the list, including Brett Favre, Sarah Palin and Lady Gaga. Obama [...]  

United States First lady Michelle Obama has been named the “most fascinating person for 2009″ by Barbara Walters. The first lady topped the list of the most memorable people that made the TV journalists annual top 10 list, including Lady Gaga, Sarah Palin, Adam Lambert, Michael Jackson’s children and Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre, to take the top [...] Related posts:Michelle Obama pictures made out to look like a monkey...

Obama bested music stars Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert, political phenom and lightning rod Sarah Palin, Kate Gosselin; and Michael...  

by Mark Silva Our friend and colleague Clarence Page notes that President Barack Obama has lost at least one old friend on one issue: Chicago's Bill Ayers, on the escalation of the war in Afghanistan. Obama was criticized for "palin' around with terrorists'' during the presidential campaign by Republican Sarah Palin, who attempted to tie the Democrat's politics to those of Ayers, the University of Illinois at Chicago education professor...

Unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers is upset that President Obama has "escalated" a war against ... terrorists.  He's all about non-violence, you see. Liberal Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page cites this video as definitive proof that the Right's characterization of Obama and Ayers's relationship -- that the two were friends who worked closely for years -- can't be true.  Because as we all know, friends and co-workers never disagree on...

Very random mix on Video Fix today -- Bill Ayers protests Obama's Afghanistan plan, Secret Service says threats against Obama not higher than under past two presidents, Stevie Wonder gets U.N. award, then gets evacuated, Hamlet soliloquy performed in Klingon and more.  

Very few people in the world have worked as closely with Barack Obama as Bill Ayers has throughout his career. Ignoring his idiotic commentary that our presence is a catastrophe for the Middle East, Afghanistan and the people of this country, I have one question: Ayers has no hesitation accusing President Obama of perpetrating "a myth" and "a lie". Who would better know whether or not Obama is capable of doing just that, than the man who...

UH-OH, is Barack Obama losing Bill Ayers as a supporter? Obama's may be on the "outs" with his old friend who is not really a friend but, "a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis." Apparently the domestic terrorist who absolutely, positively never wrote Obama's book for him...  

This week, President Barack Obama reaffirmed the commitment of the United States to our core goal: to disrupt, dismantle and defeat al-Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and prevent their return to either country. The US is sending an additional 30,000 personnel to Afghanistan, significantly increasing our civilian aid to the Afghan people, and broadening our partnership with Pakistan. Today in Brussels, I will discuss the way forward with our...

William Ayers, the former member of the Weather Underground, and Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Pres.

But sorting through the more than 200 interviews Andersen says it took to create this book, he came to a startling conclusion: After Obama had to give up on a $150,000 Simon & Schuster contract because he couldn't complete the manuscript, his sources were telling him Obama finally had to bring in a ghostwriter to put together his highly praised Dreams From My Father for Times Books. He had a million pieces of tape, pictures, memos, notes, and...  

I won’t reiterate the hoopla that was made during the campaign over the NRC getting Sarah Palin some extra clothes to wear. But it’s worth contrasting it with the reporting on Michelle Obama’s threads. At last night’s bash for the Hollywood limousine liberals and the Indian Prime Minister, Michelle went all out on her dress it seems. Quotes below are from one AP article, though I’ve changed the order a bit.  

Why Obama Isn't Changing Washington: There is no way he can grow the government without attracting more lobbyists and more political acrimony. (FRED BARNES , 11/26/09, Wall Street Journal) First, Mr. Obama misread the meaning of the 2008 election. It wasn't a mandate for a liberal revolution. His victory was a personal one, not an ideological triumph of liberalism. Yet Mr. Obama, his aides and Democratic leaders in Congress have treated it as...  

American diplomacy is never without controversy, but who would have imagined that the standard protocol of a bow to the Japanese Emperor from U.S. President Barack Obama would have caused such a fuss? Apparently, many rightwing critics in America complained that Mr. Obama bowed too low to the Emperor. Those America-centric conservatives took Mr. Obama's bow as a signal of America's weakness. Japan and most of the rest of the world saw that...  

It felt like 2008 all over again last night (11/18/09) as Sean Hannity went out of his way to bring up Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers during his hour-long interview with Sarah Palin about her new book. Why would Hannity waste time on this non-issue, if not for a sheer desire to hate monger against President Obama? In response, Palin had the nerve to pretend that talking more about Wright and Ayers was not negative campaigning, just being “fair to...  

JERUSALEM – Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign for the Democrat nomination deliberately appealed to white supremacy, fear and anxiety, charged longtime Barack Obama colleague and Weatherman terrorist William Ayers and wife, Bernardine Dohrn. In a co-authored article in the socialist Monthly Review magazine, the two radicals argued last year's national elections had "racist" undertones and that President Obama's ascent to power can be used to...  

To hear the right-wing crowd, you would think Bill Ayers and President Barack Obama were joined at the hip. Who could forget Sarah Palin's charge that Obama was "palin' around with terrorists"? Well, goodbye to all that. The 1960s Weather Underground radical-turned-University-of-Illinois professor sounds as steamed up against Obama as he used to feel about President Richard Nixon. The reason, once again, is a presidential escalation of a...  

Larry Grathwohl was one of the experts/witnesses we interviewed for the documentary. He had been undercover inside the Weather Underground and had worked closely with Ayers, Dohrn, and their fellow terrorists. I asked, "Well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?" And the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate...

Characterizing Weathermen as "an American Red Army," Ayers summed up the organization's ideology: "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents." "Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon," Ayers recalled in his 2001 memoir, "Fugitive Days." "The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them." Ayers...  

Thanks to President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, most Americans have at least heard of the godfather of community organizing, Saul Alinsky (1909-1972), and his 1971 book, Rules for Radicals.

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.

Mr. Obama missed a chance for a grace note when, while finally acknowledging the success of the Iraq surge, he couldn't admit he was wrong to oppose it or bring himself to praise President George W.
