Obama expects to be president ‘eight to 10 years’

In 2008 Obama’s last chance to get me to vote for him passed when he selected Joe Biden as his running mate instead of Hillary Clinton. The hot button issue that made me look to McCain/Palin was my hope that McCain would be more supportive of strong borders and against illegal alien amnesty than “Open …

Obama tosses crumb to lesbian and gay federal employees to dissipate the momentum of gay equality efforts

Well, that’s MY take on Obama’s motives. June is Gay Pride month, which Obama observed last year by tossing an even smaller crumb to gay and lesbian employees. He’s not trying the same gambit this year that he used successfully last year, though — he trumpeted a list of benefits gay and lesbian federal employees …

WaPo reporter fakes own death to escape Obama filibuster

Oh, all right, not really. But the last time I remember the Washington Post quoting a president at length, it was when George Herbert Walker Bush was running for his second term against Bill Clinton.

UPDATED Handy review of Obama's lies from 2008 to the present

I was thinking this week that it is a pity no one is keeping a Web site or page listing Obama’s lies. It would require a considerable staff — maybe dear Andrew Breitbart would consider adding “Big Lie” to his stable of “Big” blogs (Big Hollywood, Big Government, Big Journalism) — but it is a …

This is what he ran on. First of all we have to say that …

The Milgram experiment as a French game show

Allahpundit has a video clip of the fake French game show “Game of Death” that tested whether contestants would administer potentially fatal electric shocks to another contestant when ordered to do so as part of the game — 81 percent did. He matches that with some information about the famous experiment from 1961 by Yale …

Did Dan Rather tell Chris Matthews Obama couldn't sell watermelons?

What Dan Rather said to Chris Matthews this morning on MSNBC about the current state of Obama’s persuasive powers is, “But he couldn’t sell watermelons if you gave him a state trooper to flag down the traffic.” There’s no racial monopoly on who sells or buys watermelons. Rather made no allusions to race. So — …

Observations on the health care 'summit'

First, the best coverage of the White House health care “summit” at Blair House in Washington, D.C., today is on C-SPAN 3 because it shows the name cards of the speakers and sometimes a chyron identifying the speaker. Also, it does not show irrelevent messages and a crawl as second-best Fox News is doing. CNN …
