The poet Robert Burns wrote that "the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray." That astute observation is never more evident than today when despite his many naysayers, President Obama he has been awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. The President must be feeling an energy infusion. When President Obama "failed" to deliver the 2016 Olympics to Chicago, his detractors celebrated even though when I last checked, Chicago was still a part of the United States. &q... Read Full Story
Rush Limbaugh on his radio show today said that he is not a racist. He was trying to make the point that white people who criticize blacks or in particularly President Obama are wrongly classified as racists. He gave an example how his dear old mammy, I mean his family's domestic servant, Bertie helped raise him and his brother. And he continued to say that one day when his family took Bertie home they were appalled by her living conditions. They were so concerned in fact that his father h... Read Full Story
There is no hiding place for Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) who called the
President of the United States a liar during President Obama's speech
to millions of Americans. Are you kidding me? This lame-brain from my
neighboring state of South Carolina went mad-mob town hall style crazy
and made a complete fool of himself. The people who sent this idiot to
Congress must be feeling really proud. Surely there was someone else
available. Anybody.As much as anyone, I was surprised when Joe
Wilson made h... Read Full Story
Senator Jim DeMint and his Republican cronies would have you believe that health care reform will be a Waterloo moment for President Barack Obama. It is quite the contrary. The Waterloo moment belongs to Republicans who have everything to lose. After having maintained a 24/7 assault upon President Obama in an attempt to weaken his presidency, Republicans now perceive they have a winner with their organized opposition to health care reform. Imagine that, the GOP for political gain has no sha... Read Full Story
America lost a genuine hero and champion of everyday people with the passing of Senator Ted Kennedy. Teddy showed us how much we can achieve when we refuse to succumb to personal failings. It's a known fact we can be our worst enemy and the biggest hindrance to personal success. But Teddy after experiencing so many bumps in the road, recovered to become maybe the greatest Senator in the history of the United States. His many detractors unwittingly may have been his biggest motivators.Teddy ... Read Full Story
Democrats are claiming that GOP operatives are staging fake spontaneous outbursts during town hall meetings held to talk about health care reform. Wow imagine that, the GOP playing games with health care reform. I find myself being redundant by asking the question, where is the surprise...isn't that what the GOP does? More pressing questions are why do Americans tolerate such theatrics and where does the GOP find these members of the so-called "country first" crowd who reveal by their actio... Read Full Story
President Obama must be thinking "Ain't this a Beeswax" in reference to
some Democrats collaborating with the GOP to try and derail the President's intent
to bring much needed health care reform to America. Talk about working across the aisle. At a minimum, the President must be hearing in his head the old O'Jays hit, "Back Stabbers." One has to wonder
about the motivation of these so-called Blue Dog Democrats who side with the obstructionists Republicans.
The Republicans have made no secret ... Read Full Story
I think most of us are familiar with the phrase "let cooler heads prevail." On the outside looking in that was probably not the case with the situation where Harvard Professor Skip Gates was arrested by Cambridge Massachusetts Police Officer James Crowley. I can see where Professor Gates might have gotten a little testy if he perceived that Officer Crowley had pressured him more than was required to establish his identity as he stood in his own residence. I can also see where Officer Crowley ... Read Full Story
U.S. Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina called President Obama's push for sensible health care reform as his Waterloo moment. But wait, for Republicans hasn't everything that the President has tried to accomplish been his Waterloo moment? Do we detect a pattern here for the GOP? Oppose everything and if the President fails, make some ridiculous assertion that the President's agenda is facing widespread rejection by the American people.Surprise, surprise. President Obama who has a lot of fi... Read Full Story
