Some on the left have decided to show their depth by criticizing President Obama's first year in office. They write stories about Obama's Katrina or Obama's Vietnam. Even though Obama has had a brilliant first year, they still aren't satisfied. How much do they want from a man who has been in office for less than a year?
A Message for Republicans; By the Way, You Lost.
Dear Republicans, we know you're having a hard time with this concept, so we thought we'd send you a friendly reminder about the election results last year. You lost. We do not trust you to be in charge of anything, even the local WalMart.
“How Can They Do That?”; A Progressive Responds Regarding Nobel Peace Prize Committee’s Choice
People don't seem to get the origin of the Nobel Peace Prize, because all over the internet, you will read:
"How can they do that?"
They can do that because that was the intention of the prize....from the beginning. And it is THEIR prize. It is privately funded. They can do whatever they want. It was intended for visionaries, not necessarily an "accomplishment".
After all, peace starts as a belief. Having the vision for a nuclear free world is huge. It starts there. Did W have that commitment? did John McCain? No. Even Hilary Clinton didn't embrace peace as the ideal the way Obama did and does. So, it is rather special, in point of fact.
The “Right” Align with Taliban in Opposition to President Obama Winning Nobel Peace Prize
Obama Wins the Nobel Peace Prize and the “Right” Align Themselves with Taliban in Opposition to US President. The self-described “conservatives”/aka, hatriots can't feel proud of their country if it means anything good for their President. Now, at last, the GOP has aligned themselves with the Taliban for all to see.
Republicans Impose Their “Decider” Approach re Afghanistan Strategy
Republicans are insinuating that Obama's "delay", aka, seeking input from naysayers and congress before making a decision regarding strategy in Afghanistan, is indicative of weakness on Obama's part. Apparently, Republicans have been suppressing Congressional War Powers and the Constitution for so long now that they just assume it's a given that everyone does so, and failure to do so is smugly rebranded as "delay".
Republicans Only Plan is To “Kill ObamaCare”
Republicans have sold the meme that they just need more “time” to draft a good health care reform bill. More time? They had control of the House, Senate and WH for 6 years and they never even brought this issue up! They’ve had all summer to review the various plans and come up with an idea. Heck, they took us into a pre-emptive war with a sovereign nation quicker than that!
An American Nightmare: One Family’s Mortgage Crisis Story
My life in the house I've been living in for 25 years is on the line and I feel utterly helpless. I've been involved in what seems to me to be an eternal process of loan modification, and as I've been massacred by that same process very recently, the trauma of that colors my fears today.
Republicans Threaten Terrorist Attacks if Holder Investigates Torture
Republicans are playing the terrorism card to dissuade Attorney General Eric Holder from investigating torture. Nine GOP lawmakers have sent a letter to Holder warning that the U.S. could face a terrorist attack if the attorney general appoints a special prosecutor to investigate the CIA’s use of torture against “war on terror” suspects.
God Might “Tap” Bachmann for President
Just because Michele has Crazy Eyes, doesn’t mean that God doesn’t love her. Not only does God love Bachmann, but God speaks directly to her. Opens doors for her. Anoints her, even. And now He wants her to run for President. Take that, you anti-American liberals!
Birthers Busted Peddling Fake Kenyan Birth Certificate; real owner steps up
So, the Great Last Hope of the birthers, and one I might add, they touted with great pride on national TV just yesterday, was totally debunked in the Australian press. Ouch! By the way, what in the heck were they doing copying an Australian birth certificate and passing it off as Kenyan? Maybe Palin told them Australia was a continent in Africa?
Obama Rocks the Stock Market
Remember earlier this year when President Obama took office and suddenly the stock market plunge of October, 2008 was his fault? Each little or large market dip; a trust-worthy reflection of the job performance of our new POTUS? Sure, we can judge him on Jan 21, 2009 as a bad President, just look at the stock market! Well, look at the market now.
