As part of my effort to provide interesting and unique content at Obama’s ConI thought it would be worthwhile to interview writers, bloggers, journalists, and others who are covering the 2008 race. I figured it was an useful way to get the informed opinions of the people who cover the race every day. To kick this off today I spoke with Jennifer Rubin. Click on | Read More »
I mocked The New Republic earlier for its utter lack of irony awareness, but I wanted to add another thing that I find humorous about TNR. The huge gap between what their blogs claim to provide but fail to deliver. The Stump claims to provide “Obsessive coverage of the ’08 race” and yet yesterday had a grand total of five posts and today includes only | Read More »
Check out this New Republic post on Even Bayh as a potential VP for Obama and note the incredible lack of irony: But ideology isn’t the only reason some of us are wary of Bayh. Another is his history of accomplishment–or relative lack thereof. I’ve been reading clips and calling around Captiol Hill lately, looking into Bayh’s record. And I’d be hard-pressed to name an | Read More »
{UPDATE: with Kevin’s kind permission, below is the video of the speech in question. Remember: this is the candidate who’s supposed to be taking us away from the politics of negativity. Unless you disagree with his math, of course: then you’re just being proudly ignorant. But he still wants your vote! – Moe Lane} Obama in Ohio: Let me make a point—let me make a | Read More »
Senator Barack Obama today once again attacked oil companies, Exxon in particular, as greedy nefarious corporations who seek to bribe officials and prevent American energy independence. Well, I have a question. If making “windfall” profits is greedy and a threat to our economy and way of life, why hasn’t the Senator spoken out against Google? Confused? Allow the Wall Street Journal to expain: If Senator | Read More »
I think a proper response to Obama’s big energy speech in Lansing today should include this poster:
I hope Redstate readers will once again indulge my self-promotion, but I wanted to make them aware of a new blog: I know you are probably thinking that the last thing the world needs is another political blog. But it is my hope that the focus of this particular blog will be helpful (not to mention interesting). Here is how I laid it out in | Read More »
In a way that is so typical of Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee’s much hyped speech in Berlin today sounded grand and important, but contained nothing but platitudes and leftist, and multicultural, rah-rah. What it really came down to, after a long history lesson on the Berlin Airlift, was Obama the messiah giving the world a giant pep talk. Can we solve all the world’s | Read More »
Please tell me why I should feel bad about this: Ralph Stover has good credit and a steady job. But he took out a risky interest-only first mortgage and a second mortgage to buy a new 1,900-square-foot condominium in 2003 with no money down. Now, the 52-year-old Columbus man is scared he could become another casualty in the ongoing housing meltdown. He paid $170,900 for | Read More »
