You know, with this ground zero mosque issue and new polls coming out right-wingers are jumping to the front to convince the American people that Obama is a Muslim, or whatever they can convince them. But, as the old adage goes "judge not yet ye be judged yourself" and when so many go so vehemently it leads one to wonder just what they believe and who they are to make such lofty judgments. In the case of two of them you wonder just what the hell gives them the authority to speak.
Opps, if you're a Tea Party right wing Neocon hoping and searching to find Barack Obama kissing Muslim King Abdullah, you've come to the wrong place and are searching for the wrong President.
On Aug. 9th Barack Obama will be in Texas to raise money for Democratic candidates. While details are still in the works, the classy folks in the Texas Republican Party are working on a special "welcome" for him. Of course, when considering what might constitute a "welcome" one need only look into the past to see what the Texas Republican Party is all about.
You know for most of my life being a Democrat in a red area, I have constantly heard one thing. A lot of people here believe in a lot of the Democratic Party's ideals, but always state how they are too cowardly to fight for them when asked why they vote Republican. Well as much during the last few election cycles I have tried to convince them otherwise, this current crop of Democratic leadership who take their base for granted and cater to Republicans seems to prove their point. Now, the President is asking us to keep up the fight. All I can say is President Obama, back at ya...
Mr. President have you forgotten that we are your base and Fox News is your enemy? Hell I really thought you were fired up and ready to go back in 2008 and maybe you was, and I just didn't understand that you was planning to go wherever Fox News led you.
Somebody has to ask the question, so let it be me: Are you really fired up and ready to go after Progressive ideals or are you fired up and ready to slow, slow down the Progressive agenda?
Mr. President, it's kinda like watching a old time Cowboy movie, when it comes to how you have handled the Shirley Sherrod debacle, you see a lot of horses but you never see them take a sh*t.
So Mr. President do you want us with ya or do you want us to start looking for someone that's really fired up and ready to go? The choice is yours and yours alone.
It is no big secret that in the last several decades millions of women have been forced to enter the workforce. For the most part in working America due to stagnant wages and decreased opportunity households are forced to subsist on two incomes. Essentially gone are the days when the father worked to support the family and the mother stayed home to raise the children and tend the house. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with women wanting to work, what is really wrong is the fact that when they do work they have consistently been paid less than men on average.
The President blasts Republicans in the Senate who are blocking unemployment insurance and small business tax breaks to create jobs -- even as they push for permanent, massive tax cuts for the richest Americans.
Congressional candidate Ed Martin, Missouri's 3rd congressional district, seems to think that Barack Obama And His Administration are taking away your freedom "to find your salvation, to get your salvation and to find Christ, for me and you." The audio of his interview is below. Read more here.
Those of us that remember the 1950's and the 1960's know what racist code words are. I know what Republican Lynn Westmoreland meant when she referred to Michelle and Barack Obama as "uppity". You see "uppity" is a racist code word that those of us living in the 1950's and the 1960's remember all too well. Surely most of you remember "Obama Waffles" mix.
Ok here we go again with the Barack Obama Birth issue Orly Taiz and all. This is what the right wingers are emailing to their constituents. Tim Adams, currently teaching at Western Kentucky University in the graduate program and worked as senior elections clerk for the city and county of Honolulu in 2008 has this to say about Barack Obama's birth:
WorldNetDaily "In my professional opinion, Obama definitely was not born in Hawaii. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that he was not born in Hawaii because there is no legal record of him being born there. If someone called and asked about it, I could not tell them that person was born in the state." Read more.

As I live out the events of this - what I believe to be the worst economic meltdown in American history - I can't help but believe that our perception of time is one of the fundamental problems that led us to where we are.

With doctors facing deep cuts in their reimbursements from Medicare unless Congress acts to correct long-standing problems, the President calls on Senate Republicans to stop blocking the remedy and pledges to work toward a permanent solution. The cuts would potentially mean widespread trouble for seniors getting needed care.
Personally, I like a calm, rational leader in the face of disaster. But the media says that the public is calling for something else. Something like this:
One thing many Progressives have tried to tell President Obama even before he was elected that the only thing that he will get by "reaching out" to the modern Republican Party is a bloody nub. After a couple of years of watching these folks shun every bi-partisan attempt made by him to include them it seems like now, hopefully the President may give up on working with the radical modern Republican Party.
New York Post When President Obama was asked if he would play a round of golf with his talk-radio nemesis Rush Limbaugh, the response, relayed by a top Democrat, was: "Limbaugh can play with himself." This is according to Zev Chafets in his new book, "Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One," due May 25 from Sentinel. Read more.
Boy, what a difference a few years makes. In the matter of Republican hypocrisy on judicial experience it makes all the difference in the world. You see, when a Republican President nominated a candidate for the Supreme Court with no experience it was the greatest thing since sliced bread for many Republicans. However, when President Obama nominated Elena Kagan the same lack of judicial experience was widely critisized and vilified.
We have made no bones about it here. A lot of President Obama's decisions and what he has decided to fight for have been quite perplexing to us. From dropping single-payer, then the public option, to the escalation of war in Afghanistan we have had many things to be disappointed at the President many had hoped would usher in a new age of successful Progressivism. However, his latest head-scratcher has quickly shown itself to be a not so good idea, despite months and even years of the folks who are always wrong pitching hard for it.
