Obama By Default

Robert Scheer | Posted 04.05.2012

Robert Scheer

The GOP has defined itself indelibly as the party of moneyed greed and unfettered imperialism. The Republicans are a sick joke, and their narrow ideological stupidity has left rational voters no choice in the coming presidential election but Barack Obama.

Africa to Kony 2012: Stop Treating Us Like Victims

Jeff Schweitzer | Posted 04.29.2012

Jeff Schweitzer

Blaming Obama for the collapsing economy and declining stock market he inherited was to be the primary strategy for Republicans in the presidential election. But, oh, how strange that is (even before being made obsolete by a recovery).
