We're All Neo-Cons Now

October 14, 2011

President Obama's biggest disappointment, at least to progressives, has been his, I guess, "rebirth", as a neo-conservative. During Obama's campaign for the presidency, he made political hay out of George and Dick's offshore gulags, torture of detainees, unprovoked military attacks and occupations of countries posing no threat to America, eavesdropping on Americans without warrants, secrecy, [...]

Placing Blame

July 14, 2011

According to TPM reports last night, President Obama is getting sick and tired of the Republican intransigence over raising the debt ceiling. Obama walked out of tense talks Wednesday evening particularly perturbed with Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA). "I have reached the point where I say enough," Obama told the leaders, according to the account. [...]

The Plan All Along

July 11, 2011

For over 2 years I have been asking myself why it is that Barack Obama hasn't used his excellent oratory skills to inform and educate Americans about the massive failure of conservative economics and how that failure brought the nation to the threshold of a new Great Depression. 30 years of supply side economics imposed [...]

"Interests and Values"

March 29, 2011

When Barack Obama negotiated his Grand Compromise with guttersnipe patriotic Republicans last December……I abandoned all hope that he would be anything other than a status quo president. A man who defends the corporate and wealthy establishment, no matter what. Two months after a midterm election construed to be all about the oh-so-terrible federal deficits and [...]

Truth Is "Controversial Comment"

March 14, 2011

In December of last year I wrote about the torturing of U.S. Army private Bradley Manning. Held at that point for 7 months without a trial for allegedly stealing and leaking classified information, Manning had fallen victim to the "everything has changed since 9-11" American paradigm. Today, Manning is still being tortured just as he [...]

Bill-o Blows Bigtime…..Interview

February 7, 2011

If you missed the interview of President Obama by Fox's Bill O'Reilly last night, here it is….it's a little over 14 minutes long… Some on the left criticized Obama for agreeing to an interview with Bill-o just before the SuperBowl. Those critics pointed out the nature of Fox's programming as an official communications arm of [...]

The Moral Divide

January 24, 2011

Tomorrow night President Barack Obama will deliver the State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. No doubt, Obama will explain that the State of the Union at the beginning of 2011 is strong and getting stronger. That is what Americans want to hear….and that is what a President looking to his [...]

Obama Leads, Palin Ends Career

January 13, 2011

Last night, Tucson mourners came together to memorialize those killed by Jared Loughner on Saturday morning. Emotions in the 14,000+ crowd were all over the emotional map. Joy and tension-relieving applause broke out when President Obama announced that Gabrielle Giffords had "opened her eyes for the first time" yesterday. There were respectful and appreciative rounds [...]

Obama Embracing The Ridiculous

January 6, 2011

After our compromised and corrupt corporate media finished "reporting" on Sister Sarah and Chuck Grassley's political stunts which called end-of-life counseling sessions with your doctor: "death panels" and "pulling the plug on Grandma"….Democrats, at the behest of the White House, removed the provision from the health care reform bill. Giving an incentive to doctors to [...]

Centrist Prez…Centrist Results

December 23, 2010

Today's Beacon editorial lists the accomplishments of the current Congress. It's a fair and balanced piece which mentions the new health care law, financial reform, regulating the tobacco industry, updating food safety oversight, reforming student loans, the stimulus, auto-industry bailout loans,…and in the past few weeks…..the Start Treaty, repealing DADT, and funding 9-11 responders health [...]
