He’s abandoned tax reform as well as the recommendations of the deficit reduction committee he formed. So what’s the president’s plan? I pay attention to this stuff and I can’t tell you. Is it a lack of messaging or lack of will? Filed under: deficits, Obama

Obama could’ve prevented this
The biggest mistake of his presidency so far was failing to adopt the recommendations of his own fiscal commission. Had he done so the Republicans would’ve probably lined up in opposition and would’ve likely been held responsible for it by voters. But Obama punted on the Bowles-Simpson plan and the nation’s economic uncertainty drags on. [...]
President Obama responds to Ben Stiller
Like a few other Hollywood notables, Ben Stiller isn’t thrilled with President Barack Obama these days. Talking politics with CNN’s Piers Morgan, the “Zoolander” actor said it’s “been frustrating to see that we haven’t gotten further than, I think we would have hoped, in the last few years.” … “I’m disappointed that we haven’t seen [...]
What if al-Awlaki was a Confederate soldier?
I disagree but I’m glad born-again constructionists are troubled by the president’s authorization of the murder of a U.S. citizen. The killing of al-Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki was, in fact, a violation of the Fifth Amendment and such things shouldn’t … Continue reading →
Marginalizing ourselves
“I took a trip out to California last week, where I had some productive bilateral talks with your leader, Lady Gaga. She was wearing 16-inch heels. She was eight feet tall. It was a little intimidating,” President Obama joked to … Continue reading →
Metro Atlanta students saved from presidential brainwashing
“You guys are growing up faster and interacting with the wider world in a way that old folks like me didn’t have to,” Obama said. “So today, I don’t want to be another adult who stands up to lecture you … Continue reading →
President Gaffe
Conservatives have long pointed to President Obama’s contention there are 57 states as proof he’s every bit as gaffe-prone as his predecessor. Perhaps, but does anyone believe that was anything but a misstatement? Problem is, he’s been misspeaking a lot … Continue reading →
President Gaffe
Conservatives have long pointed to President Obama’s contention there are 57 states as proof he’s every bit as gaffe-prone as his predecessor. That one hasn’t really washed because, honestly, does anyone believe that was anything but a misstatement? Problem is, he’s been misspeaking a lot these days. L.A. Times columnist Andrew Malcom is keeping count. [...]
How will the partisan right spin Qaddafi’s fall?
Bin Laden, dead. Qaddafi will likely wish he was. Both victories came on Obama’s watch. He can take more credit for the former than the latter (the Libyan rebels defeated Qaddafi, with considerable assistance from NATO). But he did what W. and Reagan could not. Unfortunately for Obama, economic concerns have persisted. On his watch. [...]
Is the Obama Administration really this feckless?
Just watched David Axelrod muddle through a series of tired platitudes and token solutions to the economic crisis. On one side we have unrealistic, often loony proposals and on the other, well, nothing. Nothing of consequence, anyway. At the end of the day, the president needs to pivot. No more kicking the can down the [...]

Obama should hire ex-Atlanta Public Schools superintendent Beverly Hall. We’ll have great monthly jobs reports in no time! #APS #jobs

It’s odd that #Obama thinks @RepWeiner should resign, but not #Assad. Sending lewd tweets violates public service, but not killing people?

Good news from Afghanistan
An Al Qaeda chief suspected of helping to mastermind the September 11 terror attacks has been captured by special forces in Afghanistan. The top terror target, who was a close friend of Osama Bin Laden, was seized in a raid in Nahri Shahi, in the northern Balkh province. It is believed that he had been […]
Lie of the week
As reported by Drudge, Michelle Malkin and other right-wing bloggers, Obama demanded the removal of an American flag from Ground Zero
Of course he didn’t.
