Sheesh, Dickie, lighten up Senate Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) on Thursday night blasted for-profit colleges that he said don’t always provide quality education and can leave prospective students in debt.

We know how it was received in Israel and by Israeli supporters: both are pretty ticked off. Liberals tended to cheer the appearance of Obama supporting the Palestinians, because Liberals tend to support the violent actions of anyone attempting to kill Israeli civilians. But, what of the Arabs? How does “wariness and apathy” grab you? […]

First there was the speech. Then there was the criticism for what seemed to be a case where Obama was calling for the Israeli pre-1967 lines to be reestablished. Then cooler heads like Ed Morrissey and Doug chimed in, throwing a bit of cold water on the kefuffle. Oh, and then the BBC chimed in […]

That’s right, Obama is going to give another speech this morning at 11:40am, giving him plenty of time to get 18 holes in As the democracy movement now known as the Arab Spring hurtled across the Mideast earlier this year, President Barack Obama often tiptoed alongside history.

You’ll have to forgive the “LOL!”: I thought it was a bit more realistic than the overused “Oh, Snap!” Though, perhaps I should have used the more precise “ROTFLMAO”. Or, a simple “DERP”, as you will have competing facial expressions reading this tripe from the NY Times: President Obama and the Arab Spring It should […]

There’s politics, then there are fishing expeditions accusing private citizens and companies of wrong-doing with zero proof to score political points Senate Democrats are requesting an FTC investigation into “potential price fixing†of gasoline by petroleum refiners. The Democrats — including Majority Leader Harry Reid — wrote in a letter to FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz […]

At least for the moment, the rats have decided not to board the Hopey Ship Unicorn: President Obama short on campaign surrogates Candidate Barack Obama had no better buddy on the 2008 primary trail than Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, who was feared — and a little hated — by Hillary Clinton’s campaign for being Obama’s […]

The Politico explores how Team Obama is grasping for any sort of positive news to campaign on for 2012. OK, they don’t say “grasping,” but, when even The Politico can’t cheer-lead, it might not be the best campaign idea President Barack Obama and his allies in two big industrial unions appear poised to make the […]

Anyone else think he is looking at all sorts of polling data, reading editorials and articles that say the 2012 election will be all about the economy (and Obama’s complete incompetence), and saying “gee, I have to make a token effort which will do little to nothing, but can thump my own chest over on […]
