Further Proof That Obama is “The One”
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 12th at 08:57 AM |
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Obamessiah has indeed brought forth peace into the world. Check out Virginia Governor Tim Kaine’s statement from this morning: “It was a bad crisis for the world. It required tough words but also a smart approach to call on the international community to step in. **And I’m very, very happy that the Senator’s request for a ceasefire has been complied with | Read More »
McCain is so Good on the Republic of Georgia the Left Must Seek to Discredit Him
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 12th at 06:10 AM |
Let’s recap this folks, because this is going to become the next “100 Years” meme from the left. Taegan Goddard, a man of the left, used his platform at CQ to kick it off. The left is accusing McCain of plagiarizing Wikipedia. Yeah, read that again. They are accusing McCain of plagiarizing Wikipedia. There is no proof other than some similarities between McCain’s recitation of | Read More »
RE: Nuts

We don’t think you’re nuts. We think you are wrong. There’s a difference.

The Kremlin tore in to John McCain via his chief foreign policy adviser, Randy Scheunemann, on Saturday. The Russians, angry at McCain’s strong statement denouncing Russia’s invasion of Georgia, pointed out that Scheunemann had lobbied for American ally Georgia. At the same time the Kremlin was attacking John McCain for Scheunemann’s ties to Georgia . . . you guessed it . . . Barack Obama’s | Read More »

Transcript: RUSH LIMBAUGH: I don’t know that you’ve heard this yet ladies and gentlemen. This happened yesterday in Elkhart, IN. It was at a campaign event.

As we predicted, Obama can’t take the heat, becomes defensive, and lashes out at a reporter for daring to ask tough questions.
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 6th at 07:48 AM |
A Las Vegas political reporter, Jon Ralston, interviewed Barack Obama and called him on all his policy reversals. Among the questions Ralston asks was this: I guess what the American people want to know though Senator, is what is the real difference between you and John McCain. You are running this ad tying him to the industry saying that he has taken all of these | Read More »
Jake Tapper, Politifacts, and Barack Obama’s Claim About Inflating Tires
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 6th at 06:34 AM |
Jake Tapper has up a post quoting Politifact.com’s claim that Barack Obama is right on the inflating your tires thing. Tapper also quotes statements by the government in 1990. They say: overinflate your tires (that saves 50,000 barrels of oil a day). They also say: overinflate your tires, drive more slowly, and join car pools (those measures in total will save 7 million gallons of | Read More »
I’d say this is the pot calling the kettle black, but Obama’s supporters would call me racist.
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 6th at 06:12 AM |
John McCain is out promoting nuclear energy and Obama’s response is to accuse McCain of being divisive. Oh wait, maybe it’s not just the nuclear issue. Maybe it’s because McCain is daring to fight back. “When John McCain’s campaign goes out there and starts saying things like I’d rather lose the war to win an election or when he says that somehow I didn’t want | Read More »
Democrats Nervous that John McCain Might Give Them a Fight
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 6th at 05:35 AM |
The Democrats are like Israelites. The Israelites wandered through the desert seeing great miracles of God. Nonetheless, when the Israelites made it to the promised land, they were fearful of the Canaanites and wanted to flee. God punished them. The Democrats have wandered in the Presidential political wilderness for a long time. Yet Obama has shown them great wonders. He beat the Clintons. He brought | Read More »
Mazen Asbahi Resigns As Barack Obama’s “Coordinator for Muslim American Affairs.”
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 6th at 05:10 AM |
Well this won’t be too helpful for Barack “I have a funny middle name” Obama. The Muslim-outreach coordinator to the presidential campaign of Barack Obama has resigned amid questions about his involvement in an Islamic investment fund and various Islamic groups. Chicago lawyer Mazen Asbahi, who was appointed volunteer national coordinator for Muslim American affairs by the Obama campaign on July 26, stepped down Monday | Read More »

Happy Birthday, Barack Obama
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 4th at 10:46 AM |
Just in time for Barack Obama’s birthday, our friends at Regnery Publishing (also owned by Eagle Publishing, Inc.) have released David Freddoso’s new book, The Case Against Barack Obama. While there are other books out there on Obama, I have to say, and not just because Regnery and RedState have a relationship, David has the best, in that his book is built around Obama’s record, | Read More »

Less Believe Obama Capable of Leading Than Before He Went to Europe
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 1st at 09:43 AM |
The poor guy’s stock keeps falling. No wonder he’s crashing in the futures market. After his messianic journey to the Middle East and Europe, less people think Barack Obama can handle the job of Commander-in-Chief than did before he left for his trip. Granted, the drop is small; it’s down from 55% to 52%. However, after ditching the troops in Germany and apologizing for us | Read More »
Must Reads for the Morning

Marc Ambinder on Obama’s comments [that people should inflate their tires.] (http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/07/inflatingthetires_conserving.php) Obama’s broadside today against McCain and his associations with the industry ought to put in the context of the 2005 energy bill, which contained oodles of tax breaks for the industry. McCain opposed it for that reason. Obama supported it (a flawed bill, he admitted), for other reasons. John Fund on the Democrats | Read More »
Even Hardball Recognizes Obama Played the Race Card
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 1st at 05:05 AM |
When even the Hardball panel has to recognize Obama crossed a line he should not have cross, you know the guy is in trouble. That is probably why in the Gallup poll Obama has looked more like Jack tumbling down the hill. Snobs frequently throw punches and can rarely take them.
Quote of the Day to Ross Douthat
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 31st at 04:28 PM |
See here. If your candidate is going to stage enormous rallies in front of tens of thousands of chanting Germans (with monuments to Prussian military might in the background) in the middle of his Presidential campaign, it isn’t the GOP’s fault if the footage comes out looking a little like Hitler at Nuremberg.
Barack Obama plays the race card. The media denies Barack Obama is playing the race card.
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 31st at 02:13 PM |
John McCain’s campaign manager, Rick Davis, called out Obama today saying, “Barack Obama has played the race card, and he played it from the bottom of the deck. It’s divisive, negative, shameful and wrong.” The media, though, is denying that Obama played the race card. They do not want to believe that their golden boy has stooped so low, so soon.
