Absolutely, killing Osama is right up there with D-Day

Obama just said the assassination of Osama is “one of the greatest intelligence and military operations in America’s history,” a statement which is patently false and trivializes the horrendous battles US military have been through.

For someone who prides himself on being “No Drama” Obama, it appears our president has jumped the shark.

Tell me again, why do liberals defend Obama?

Ian Welch details how Obama without fail sides with the rich, making sure they get huge and unjustified bailouts while the rest of us get screwed. He concludes Obama must lose in 2012, whether in the primary or the general election.

If President Teabag gets in after 4 years of Obama, the US will be [...]

Libya: From no fly zone to demanding regime change

Obama has continually “revised” our reasons for being in Libya. Now it’s about regime change with the predictable result of another endless war with no exit strategy. Too many Democrats who vehemently protested the Iraq War when Bush was president are of course totally ok with what Obama is doing. Their hypocrisy and craven self-interest [...]

Polizeros Radio podcast. Fractures on the Left over Obama

While the two parties have genuine differences on issues like abortion, the environment, and a safety net, they are in complete agreement about foreign policy (American exceptionalism rules) and corporatism (Hey Wall Street, want more money? can we ignore more laws for you?)

The DFH’s, as well as many liberals and progressive, miss this, [...]

Polizeros podcast tonight. Fractures on the Left over Obama

Josh Mull and I will ponder the growing split on the Left between those who enjoy being punched in the face by the White House and those who believe we need to form real alternative parties and movements. Ok, you can probably guess from that where I stand.

The podcast is hosted on BlogTalkRadio. [...]

This time will be different. Obama will change

Progressives and liberals – DFH’s for short – are emulating battered wives: “I should leave him but he’s so sexy when he talks like that and promises me next time will be different.” But then there’s just another punch and “where’s my dinner and did you re-elect me yet?”

I mean, sure the Republicans are [...]

What have they done with President Obama?

Krugman

What happened to the inspirational figure his supporters thought they elected? Who is this bland, timid guy who doesn’t seem to stand for anything in particular?

Au contraire. Obama fought ferociously hard to give the big banks whatever they want, whether that be huge bailouts, changing the accounting rules for them and [...]

Obama’s carefully scrubbed past

The president with no past: Part II

About the first thing Obama did upon becoming president was issue an executive order sealing all his previous records. Golly, now why would he do that? It’s almost like he has something to hide.

The president with no past

Obama’s parents, maternal grandparents and stepfather – [...]

Bought and Paid For. Obama and Wall Street

With liberals currently foaming at the mouth about the Koch brothers, Bought and Paid For; The Unholy Alliance between Obama and Wall Street, by Charles Gasparino becomes even more significant. The book details how Obama was backed by Wall Street very early in the 2008 election and with much more money than they’d ever [...]

Obama fires State spokesman for saying torture is torture

From Steve Hynd at Newshoggers

Crowley had called Mannings detention, naked and in solitary confinement, “ridiculous and counterproductive and stupid”. Which it is. It’s also criminal.

I will not be supporting Obama’s re-election bid.

Ditto.
