Yawn…Another Day, Another Armed Man Outside A Townhall Meeting
Things are getting crazy out there. For the third time in a week an armed citizen has been spotted outside a meeting where President Obama is going to speak on health care. A man is carrying an assault rifle and a pistol outside the VFW Convention in Phoenix where President Obama will speak later today, […]
Damon Weaver Interviews President Obama
This is an impressive interview — Damon Weaver is a 6th grader from a school in Florida whose claim to fame before now was his delightful interview with then Senator Biden — finally gets to interview the President. I thought many of his questions were smarter and more interesting than many I’ve heard at a WH Press Conference.

They Just Can’t Help Themselves
Tea party activist and neurosurgeon Dr. David McKalip thinks a picture of Obama depicted as a witch doctor is “funny stuff.” He thought it was so great he sent it to his fellow tea partiers.
Obama Calls It Like He Sees It
President Obama commented last night on the Henry Gates arrest a few days ago in Cambridge. Now, I don’t know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that. But I think it’s fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that […]

What’s Got The Right Wing In An Uproar This Time?
It’s this photo: OMG! He’s so evil! He’s checking totally checking out her rear end. I guess the news that John Ensign had to have his buddies drive him to FedEx to send a letter to his girlfriend and had his mommy and daddy pay off her family has put Republicans over the edge. But […]
Fixing The Health Care Bill
Ezra Klein has an idea… Health reform, remember, is a long game. The Senate Finance Committee will not write the health reform bill. They will just write their version of it. Then it will merge with the HELP Committee’s version. Then it will be amended on the floor of the Senate. Then it will be […]
Foreign Policy Idiots
A number of our inane right wing commenters last night decided to make the protests in Iran a partisan issue, and they began to attack President Obama for what they see is inaction regarding the events in Iran. I will have the President respond before I do: Well, I think first of all, it’s important […]
President’s Town Hall Meeting on Health Care
President Obama went to Wisonsin this week to conduct a Town Hall discussing efforts to fix the health care system. This is abit over an hour long, but worth watching if you’ve only seen clips (the one where he gives the young woman a note for school seemed to be the news): [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvFqTVal_f0[/youtube] I hope […]
Can Hate Talk Lead To Murder?
Well, let’s face it… it doesn’t help. Joan Walsh at Salon ponders the point. Read the whole thing. It’s a thoughtful, careful piece and well worth your time. The range of crazy ideas about Obama is broad and wide: He’s a secret Muslim, he’s going to take our guns, he’s even the anti-Christ! James von […]
