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 …

Really, Sen. McCain? What tipped you off? UPDATED
OK, when John McCain is finally willing to characterize Obama accurately without worrying about being called a RAAAAACIST!, it looks to me like a watershed moment all-around. I blame Bush. Updated, 1/9/10, Sat.: Patterico had a guest post in 2008 featuring a letter dated February 6, 2006, from Sen. McCain to his new colleague, Obama, …

Charles Johnson outraged that a Democrat's photo attempt to prove Obama ever had a real job before becoming president is a PhotoShop

A progressive's anti-Obama epic rant

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 …
Oprah gets temporary pass from under the bus to boost Obama's ratings — um, do a White House Christmas special

Gen. McChrystal, Obama is behind you in Afghanistan 75 percent
As Iowahawk reports: Anyhoo, after receiving General McChrystal’s request, I carefully reviewed and focus tested it with some of the top military strategists of DailyKos and HuffingtonPost. As an alternative, they suggested sending a special force of 200 diversity-trained surrender consultants. After several months of careful deliberation, polling, and strategic golfing, I told the General …
