Bono Writes A Love Letter To America
International philanthropist Bono wrote an op-ed for today’s New York Times on why Obama deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and what it means to the rest of the world: Well, I happen to be European, and I can project with the best of them. So here’s why I think the virtual Obama is the real […]
Obnoxiously Articulate
Is it even possible to be obnoxiously articulate? My guess is that only obnoxiously inarticulate people would think say so. Obama has been a constant presence in the mass media as he expands the bureaucracy’s reach into the private sector…. In doing so, he has created a quandary. Put aside for a moment the question […]
Wingnutland
We saw national and local winguts rend their own flesh when the United States lost the bid to host the Summer Olympics in 2016 and, on Friday morning, we watched again as these same wingnuts spit blood and other bile as the President of the United States was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Somebody in […]
Obama’s Remarks On His Nobel Win
Transcript of his remarks: Good morning. Well, this is not how I expected to wake up this morning. After I received the news, Malia walked in and said, “Daddy, you won the Nobel Peace Prize, and it is Bo’s birthday!” And then Sasha added, “Plus, we have a three-day weekend coming up.” So it’s good […]

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
Ah, Joe Lieberman – the right’s favorite Independent Democrat. You know, the Joe Lieberman who went around campaigning for McCain/Palin saying that Obama did not have the proper experience for the job of president. Do you remember in January, when there was a push by the left to remove Joe Lieberman’s chairmanship and Obama intervened […]
America Moves From #7 To #1 Most Admired Country
Gee, I wonder what changed from last year to this year? I can’t quite put my finger on it… The United States is the most admired country globally thanks largely to the star power of President Barack Obama and his administration, according to a new poll. It climbed from seventh place last year, ahead of […]
Calling Them Out on Their Lies
President Obama made a point of this promise in his speech to the Congress and it looks like it starts now:
School Board Forced To Apologize
I came upon this story on Daily Kos. A school board in California had a hastily called meeting to ban the showing of Obama’s school speech in classrooms. Community members fought back and forced the school board members to apologize at a school board meeting: The board meeting opened tonight with Halgren and Duff again […]
The Speech Was A Game-Changer

First the Daily Kos/Research 2000 tracking poll: President Obama’s Net Favorability Rating–Cumulative Results After Each Day (Fav/Unfav rating after each day in parentheses) MONDAY: +9 (52/43) TUESDAY: +10 (52/42) […]
Memorable Moments During The Speech
I’m going to tell you straight out that I thought that was one of the best speeches I’ve seen Obama give. He had a lot of goals to accomplish in the speech: reassure the wavering leftwing, make the case for reform, position himself as sensible and centrist, knock down misinformation and make the case for […]
Transcipt of Obama’s Health Care Reform Speech
Here is the transcript for the whole speech: Madame Speaker, Vice President Biden, Members of Congress, and the American people: When I spoke here last winter, this nation was facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We were losing an average of 700,000 jobs per month. Credit was frozen. And our financial system […]
