Barack Obama-You’re no Abraham Lincoln

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

Investor’s Business Daily always has good op-ed pieces and this one is no exception. They dug up an essay Obama wrote for Time Magazine in 2005. Obama said he distanced himself from Lincoln’s limited views on race. Is he kidding?!? So Barack Obama wants us all to think he’s the next Abraham Lincoln, yet doesn’t [...]

Libertarian Party: Biden Is A “Narcissistic Windbag”

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

Libertarians may not be plentiful, but they’re certainly smart, focused, and loud. Reproduced below, complete with the original graphic, is a rather bracing letter setting forth the Libertarian reaction to Joe Biden’s selection as Obama’s VP nominee:
From the Libertarian Party:
Dear friend of liberty,
A text message arrived at my phone this [...]

“Our Next President, Joe Biden.” “Thanks, Barack America.”

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

You can’t listen to a Democratic spokesperson on TV - ANY of them - without hearing the constant snipe about how many houses John McCain owns, and how THEY know how many houses they own.
Get Listy summarized the McCain gaffe:
Republican Presidential hopeful John McCain was asked Wednesday by a reporter from Politico how many houses [...]

Obama-Biden: Obama Not Strong, Not Ready. Just Ask His V.P.

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

Barack Obama isn’t ready to be President. Don’t ask me, ask Obama’s new VP selection, Joe Biden. Republicans are already able to excoriate Obama with Biden’s own words. If Obama picked Biden because of his experience, we should at least listen to what Biden said when it mattered most.

Nice Guy. Old Guy. Lots of Washington Experience. Obama Picks John Mc . . . sorry . . . Joe Biden

When my esteemed spouse heard the news that Barack Obama had chosen Joe Biden to be his running mate, she didn’t miss a beat: “Well, he picked the closest one he could find to John McCain.”
And so he did. I guess that wraps up all the “Washington outsider” nonsense. It should take [...]

Was Biden selected to bring much needed testicularity to the ticket?

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

In 2000 when George Bush selected Dick Chaney as his running mate, everyone in the media magically thought of the word ‘gravitas’.  This morning, all I can think of is ‘testicularity’.  Widely considered too effeminate, Obama needed a cussing old guy on the ticket; he needed testicularity.
It has been widely discussed in the media that [...]

Joy. Elitist nuancer from Chicago picks elitist plagiarist from Delaware

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

In what has to be one of the most bungled VP selections in recent memory, the elitist nuancer from Chicago has selected an elitist plagiarist from Delaware as his running mate.  Just how lousy a selection is this?  Let me tick off a few ways.  Make this the quick 10 reasons why Biden is a laughable selection.
