Obama’s Berlin Audacity

Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign is promoting the Berlin rally like it any other kind of political event. Patrick Ruffini notes:
The sea of Germans drummed up by the Obama campaign will be used as props to tell us Americans how to vote, and the campaign isn’t trying to pretend otherwise. That’s breathtakingly arrogant, and par for […]

Name That Person

Right Wing Sparkle posted a picture of a Palestinian artist drawing a portrait of Sen. Barack Obama. She noticed the obvious Jesus image. There are two other figures, one being the ubiquitous Che Guevara. I’m wondering who the man under Jesus is. I’m assuming it’s a nasty terrorist of some sort. It doesn’t look like […]

Obama Fundraiser Linked to Subprime Lender

Karl at Protein Wisdom and Erick Erickson both linked to the Wall Street Journal story about Sen. Obama’s fundraising chairman Penny Pritzker and her involvement with collapsed subprime mortgage lender Superior Bank.
Reporter John Emshwiller tries to make the story about a conflict with what the bank did and Obama’s statements about subprime lenders. But […]

Dobson Warms to McCain. Really Doesn’t Like Obama

James Dobson has softened his opposition to Sen. John McCain for President:
“I never thought I would hear myself saying this,” Dobson said in a radio broadcast to air Monday. “… While I am not endorsing Senator John McCain, the possibility is there that I might.”
Dobson and other evangelical leaders unimpressed by McCain increasingly are taking […]

Maliki Wouldn’t Mind Obama Pullout Plan

Iraqi Prime Minister al-Maliki likes Sen. Barack Obama’s 16-month pullout plan:
U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama talks about 16 months. That, we think, would be the right timeframe for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes.
First, realize Maliki sees Obama as the Presidential front runner. It’s rational not to rock the boat. Second, Iraq and […]

Is Obama a Socialist?

Is Sen. Obama a Socialist? I think Sen. Barack Obama’s economics are flexible for the electorate he’s seeking. Jason Furman and Austan Goolsbee are both Obama advisors, and neither are socialists.
I do think that sociologically Obama is a Marxist. His infamous “bitter” remark showed he thinks economic conditions cause social behavior. Marxism sees the economic […]

Obama Raises $52 Million in June

The rumors that Sen. Barack Obama’s fundraising was dissipating was just that: rumors. His campaign announced they raked in $52 million in June. That’s twice as much as Sen. John McCain raised.

Tomasky: Campaign is about McCain and GOP

Michael Tomasky takes a different tact to what I wrote yesterday:
Well, there is some truth to it. The race will be, to a certain extent, probably a considerable extent, about white voters’ comfort with Obama. But it’s not all about Obama. It’s also about an unnecessary war that was based on lies. It’s about a […]

Obama Brand Damaged But Might Not Matter

Allahpundit went over some NY Times poll. The big news from it is Sen. Obama’s brand as a new kind of politician is in tatters. 56% think Obama has changed his position on an issue to please voters. Of them 41% think worse of him. But 53% say it doesn’t make a difference.
Obama’s “new politics” […]

Obama’s Surge Stance Goes Down Memory Hole

Edit a Presidential candidate’s view on the Iraq surge? “Yes we can!” At least that’s what Sen. Barack Obama’s web team did over the weekend. Instead of simply saying he was wrong about the surge Obama and his campaign pretends we won’t notice his alterations in emphasis. Events on the ground in Iraq have changed […]

Schwarzenegger Would Fit Well With Obama

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) would be perfect as an energy czar for a President Obama. Neither want to be serious about getting the energy needed now to satisfy America’s demand, and both really don’t mind high gas prices.

Obama the Orchid

Sen. Barack Obama’s authenticity is slowly eroding. The idea that Obama has been carefully crafting his image as America’s savior made the first paragraph of Maureen Dowd:
Barack Obama may make it to the Rose Garden, but he’ll still be an orchid. For all his attempts to act like a sturdy American perennial, he’s a genuine […]
