Imagine if this had been a Republican political candidate. What would the list of follow-up questions have included? Why do you classify this as an error? Was it an error of omission or commission? What is the purpose of editing? Why wasn’t it posted that this was an edited call, in the same way that […]

The irreplaceable tax cheat Tim Geithner
That there are 36 Obama aides who owe back taxes is great news for the country which had just learned at the State of the Union speech that Tim “Tax Cheat” Geithner wouldn’t be around for a second term as Treasury Secretary. We now have an expanded pool of candidates to take over from Geithner, […]
Gingrich: an inch deep and a mile wide, his own anti-message
What a disaster for the Republicans Gingrich is. having had 3 years to craft a message of hope, growth, opportunity and fiscal sanity, they have found themselves worshipping the mouth that roared. Gingrich’s personal life evidences such a lack of discipline that it undermines the party’s claims of bringing sober, responsible, controlled limited government to […]
Channelling TR? Should have gone for Andrew Jackson
I wish the President would go back a little further and channel Old Rough and Ready, and then get rid of the Fed. It’s hard to fault him though, as he is grasping at straws. The sad thing is, grasping at straws and just flicking that jab out keeps the Republicans at bay while they […]

Forced cuts and Congressional politics
Given the political climate in DC and the cynical, self-serving behavior of both parties which is the predictable downside of an entrenched 2 party system, the following scenario really concerns me: I dont think the Republicans in Congress want to win the Presidential election in 2012, since they know the economy isnt going to heal […]
Republicans finding ways to make Obama look presidential
what an uninspiring set of choices we are offered Its Perry’s race to lose, and he looks like nothing more than Bush 2.0, without the speech impediment, but fewer ideas if that were possible. Pawlenty dropped out after lacking the courage to even debate Romney when he had a chance, then tried to beat up […]
Rick Perry: the male Sarah Palin
Obama is as vulnerable as he can be and Romney and Perry are the best the Republicans can do. 4 more years The economy cant be pinned on Obama and the legislative failure is decades in the making. He will be tarnished but not held responsible. The Republicans will run an ideologue and polarize the […]
Tea baggers confuse leadership with ideological purity
By playing their game of tactical chicken to appease a subset of the republican party, the GOP has already walked away from the best deal they were going to get; There was a chance to get important concessions on major entitlements, but the no new taxes mantra puts us back into gridlock. The deal that’s […]
