While running for President, Obama promised pretty much everything to everyone. In Ohio, he promised to support loan guarantees for uranium enrichment. A cornerstone for the US to ween itself from oil and coal. The promise was convincing, it made logic. It would not only assist in the pursuit of cleaner energy, it would create jobs [...]

Someone’s running a poll on Facebook. It’s about how people voted and how they would voted again. It’s fairly interesting so far: If the 2008 Presidential Election were held today, would you vote the same way? I voted for Obama and I stand by that vote. 45,676 (35.2%) Take the next poll »or+ Create [...]

The election of 2008 was running pretty good for John McCain for a while. He had chipped away at Obama’s lead for a while and gotten a good boost from the publicity of the national convention and his choice for vice president. Then, a couple of things seemed to totally derail his entire campaign. I [...]

The most screwed up political issue of the Bush administration will be returning I imagine very shortly for the Obama administration. First, I want to make sure people understand where I’m coming from: The “Bush ban on stem cells” originally was passed in 1999. Bush wasn’t president, Bill Clinton was. This was a complete ban [...]

It’s easy to trash media. They screw things up all the time. Just pick a story, any story, and you’ll find something wrong with it. For instance, today, Foxnews, which claims to represent the conservative peeps of the US, ran this headline: Flip-Flopper? McCain/Palin backing ‘View’ co-host Hasselbeck stuns viewers | PHOTOS The story headline [...]

Some media are having a difficult time reacting to the charges by McCain that they are completely and unashamedly pushing their candidate. They have discussed it, they have debated, and some to a small degree, have admitted it. If one has any doubts at all, all they need to is go to CNN’s front page [...]

If you watch CNN and most other media outlets, this race is over. I’m not ready to go quite that far. However, if it is, I gotta wonder what we are electing. Obama just seems to collect baggage every day of late. Now we’re looking at credit card fraud, which I don’t think is enough [...]

It’s really sad how bad people’s interpretation of history becomes over a short period of time. Namely, this dialogue bugs me: In response to Obama wanting to spread the wealth, which is very well documented, Joe Biden had this to say: “I was on a television station the other day doing a satellite feed to [...]

Everyone remembers Mark Foley. Mass media went nuts over his “issues” in 2006. Some even say Foley single handedly cost Republicans the House. So, what does the 21st century’s most “disgraced” Congressman do? He endorses Obama. Most political pundits are completely ignoring this endorsement. The Obama campaign hasn’t released any statements on Foley either that [...]
