Lots of factors led up to the defeat of the GOP in 2006. But one of the big drivers was a severe loss of support from the independents in the middle (not the independents who are closer to the fringes). Bush has governed as a moderate instead of a far right ideologue. And that irritated […]

I postulated below Obama was not going to get much of a sustained bounce out of his dismal and error prone (if not lying as when he claimed he was on a Senate Committee he was not on and supported legislation he opposed) world tour.  He simply demonstrated why he was the wrong man for […]

I get the feeling Obama’s small bump in the Gallup Daily Tracking poll will not last the week. I have been watching both the Gallup and Rasmussen daily polls to see how sensitive each is to the weekly news blitz. They each use very different polling methods, but over time track closely to each other. […]

Delusional obsession. What else could explain people like Dan Rather, who still think the forged TANG documents – shown to have been created using a modern word processing program – are real even though the evidence is overwhelmingly against such conclusions? I have no clue, but to take clear evidence that something is a forgery […]

Senator Obama’s position on The Surge in Iraq is quite a stunning one. Even with victory at hand he stands by a failed plan for surrender and defeat to al-Qaeda. Even with the SurrenderMedia finally admitting Iraq is on the path to victory, Obama has decided he still thinks defeat at the hand of al-Qaeda […]

Senator Obama has made it very easy on John McCain. First off, Obama has flip-flopped on so many issues has he has dumped his liberal base and moved to the center he has take the strategy of becoming an echo of McCain (and Bush) on a host of issues. Here are some prime examples: (1) […]

While Obama was doing the “We Are The World” crap (we all remember the duplicitous French regarding Iraq and the fact many NATO forces are not actually allowed to fight in our war to protect the West from terrorism) Obama’s greatest stumble and insult was not in visiting our wounded troops in Germany: Chief Pentagon […]

Update Below Obama was supposed to get a bit of a bounce from the fawning media coverage surrounding his whirlwind gaffe tour (is everybody’s legs tingling?). But he is not getting anything at all (just check out Gallup and Rasmussen). The fact is the man is bringing tons of money and getting all the positive […]

I have been watching the Cult of The COLB for weeks now as they flounder about, doing more to prove the Obama COLB image is probably a scan of a legitimate COLB than not (my posts are here). The latest gasp from the Cult of The COLB was an apparent mismatch in the format layovers […]

Reader Sally Vie pointed me to this Washington Post editorial which is noting the obvious – Obama is as oblivious to the opinions of world leaders and American leaders as he has been oblivious to the reality on the ground in Iraq: THE INITIAL MEDIA coverage of Barack Obama’s visit to Iraq suggested that the […]
