Bob Morris on Jan 24, 2012, 10:38 pm Lukewarm populism coupled with vague promises of solutions is no solution at all. Obama makes stirring speeches but often does the opposite of what he promises. Until hundreds of Wall Street banksters are indicted on criminal charges then we we will not have rule of law applied to the 1%. On that point, Obama was [...] Bob Morris on Jan 6, 2012, 7:15 am Politico, perhaps a bit snarkily, details how liberals bloggers hailed Obama’s recess appointment of Richard Cordray as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as bold, daring, and – biff bang pow – letting the Republicans have it both barrels. Huh? Presidents since George Washington have made recess appointments. Quite predictably the other party then [...] Ross Levin on Dec 30, 2011, 9:15 am In the streets of Manhattan, during a weekend in late September, the faces of steel and concrete behemoths staring down at me, I quickly weaved my way through stopped cars. I moved with several thousand others. A collective elation filled the air, surrounding us as we sped forward. Cars honked in support, cab drivers [...] Bob Morris on Aug 4, 2011, 3:45 pm Google Finance It’s increasingly clear, isn’t it, that our supposed leaders in DC are incompetent, craven, and compromised. The debt deal, which they did with as much drama and little intelligence as possible, is just more evasion and kicking the can down the road. But no one is buying their pretend and extend game [...] Bob Morris on Aug 4, 2011, 6:45 am Colin McEnrow of the Hartford Courant sadly and finally gives up on Obama, and in doing so explains why Obama is not now and could never be a socialist. He’s not the guy I thought he was. And Bill Clinton would have had no problem going before the cameras during the recent troubles and [...] Bob Morris on Jul 29, 2011, 6:45 am We had a wide-ranging show last night, with Keith Boyea joining Steve Hynd and myself. Listen to the show on BlogTalkRadio or on iTunes. Topics: Both parties are quite willing to fund-raise off the debt ceiling kabuki, oblivious and uncaring of the consequences, which could include a government shutdown, mortgage rates spiking, and a [...] Bob Morris on Jul 28, 2011, 11:15 am Tonight Steve Hynd and I welcome our new co-host, Keith Boyea, who blogs about national security, veterans issues, and current affairs. (Josh Mull, who had the original idea for the podcast had to drop out due to work commitments. Big thanks to Josh for getting this started and rolling!) Show topics tonight Steve says, [...] Bob Morris on Jul 27, 2011, 9:30 am “While it may be tempting for liberals to write this statement off as mere right-wing positioning, prominent liberal writers agree,”says Washington’s Blog, in a long, detailed post about Obama’s continual alliance with Wall Street Democrats against the rest of us. Obama never was on the liberal / progressive side. That’s the key point. He has [...] Bob Morris on May 31, 2011, 9:30 am Carville unloads on Obama It’s pretty remarkable that the next election is going to boil down to a competition between the 2008 Republican presidential candidate and his vice presidential nominee. Obama being the 2012 Democrat equivalent of McCain and the Republican challenger being someone like Palin. It’s not that Obama is a socialist [...] Ross Levin on May 20, 2011, 6:15 am Flickr rnyk If you’ve been watching the recent controversy over Cornel West’s statements that Obama is “a black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats,” among other things, you have been witnessing an interesting phenomenon. What you are seeing – perhaps most prominently from West’s Princeton colleague Melissa Harris-Perry, [...] | Independent Voter NetworkArticles by Bob Morris on California and Arizona renewable energy, budget and border issues Foxpro and Clipper migration |
