One of the more puzzling developments in Obama’s career is how he has been able to position himself as a reform style politician – as an outsider who can come in and clean up the mess politicians have made. This simply doesn’t match reality. And yet the media seems uninterested in exploring and explaining Obama’s past. At the start of his career you could make | Read More »
When asked by Rick Warren what his most difficult (I think Warren used the phrase “gut wrenching”) decision was Obama cited his opposition to the war in Iraq. This is not surprising because Obama clings to this decision, and the speech that went with it, with alarming desperation. He attempts to use it at every opportunity as proof that he has the judgment to be | Read More »
Obama’s abortion extremism and deception is coming to light. Yuval Levin explains: Six years ago, Congress passed the “Born-Alive Infants Protection Act,” making it illegal to kill a child who is fully born during an attempted abortion. The bill passed without a single opposing vote in either house, and was signed into law by President Bush on August 5, 2002. When he was a state | Read More »

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 »
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 »
