Obama's SOTU — 'PIVOT'
I live-blogged Obama’s State of the Union speech at Newsreal and began my coverage with this clip from “Friends” featuring the word, “Pivot!” The predictions for the SOTU speech were that Obama would use it to pivot toward the center. He didn’t, but I like the clip so much I’m keeping it. He did say …
You know who should be live blogging the SOTU? Republican members of Congress! THAT would be TEH AWESOME!!!
(H/T a commenter at Perfunction, which has other versions of this photo from the White House’s Flickr feed that are just as hilarious. Via Ace.) I just read Michelle Malkin’s post that Joe Wilson will be the first member of Congress to answer a State of the Union address with a live video post from …

UPDATED — Obama's 'Enabling Act' trial balloon
Ever since Obama was elected I’ve had the feeling that the organizing principle of his agenda is to destroy America as a capitalist democratic republic in slow motion with such a barrage of debt bombs, government intrusion, weakening of our military, dissolution of border enforcement, stagnation, confusion and fear that Congress would cede its powers …

A progressive's anti-Obama epic rant
Thanks to Instapundit for linking an anti-Obama epic rant by progressive political science professor David Michael Green — apparently, it smarts something fierce when the Kool-Aid wears off (boldfacing mine): Like any good progressive, I’ve gone from admiration to hope to disappointment to anger when it comes to this president. Now I’m fast getting to …
Obama hits a new low — in the polls, I mean, because with Obama and the expression 'new low,' you have to be specific
Today Obama built on his previous new lowest approval rating of -16 yesterday to plummet to his newest new low of -19 today. I wonder what is making American voters so testy with Obama — so “ungovernable.” (Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!) Wasn’t getting the Nobel Peace Prize in a box of Cracker Jacks on Dec. 10 supposed to …
