How Obama Will Keep Michigan Blue in 2010
If the Republicans win the governorship here, the national media will trumpet that as an Important Trend. And a sign of the president's impending doom in 2012.
Time for the U.S. to Promote Travel
Unlike most other developed nations, the U.S. doesn't promote tourism to attract visitors. The Travel Promotion Act could serve as a much-needed stimulus for this depressed industry.
The Gun Lobby's Two Faces on Judge Sotomayor
NRA officials seem to say one thing while their surrogates say another. Either NRA leaders are afraid of showing their weakness, or they have lost control of their message -- or both.
Is Gun Control a Cultural Issue?
Why is gun control considered a "cultural" issue, when those who value guns support various forms of gun control?
Biden-Obama Axis Shifts Biden's Way on Iran
Biden has wanted Obama to express admiration and support for the risks Iranian citizens are taking to secure democracy. A recent White House statement makes this concern clear and shows Biden's influence.

Iran Uprising: Why Do So Many Want Obama To Turn Iran's Protests Into A "Teabag Party"?
Those who wish for Obama to adopt a stronger tone ground their argument in the arrogant belief that our endorsement is the sine qua non of any successful democratic political movement.
Mission Shrink: We've Gone From Saving Wall Street in Order to Save Main Street to Just Saving Wall Street
The problem continues to be the administration's habit of conflating the health of the Wall Street economy with the health of the real economy -- when, in fact, the two economies have become decoupled.
Is Congress Ready to Reassert its Independent Role?
I have just finished watching the Sunday talk shows. All in all -- and this from a Sunday morning talk show junkie -- a pretty poor excuse for analysis of what's going on in Washington.
THE POLITICS OF JUMP-STARTING
Recent announcements from the Administration concerning an "accelerated" 100-day Roadmap to Recovery may feed into the suspicions of political cynics ...
Biden's Hawkish Record
Like Dick Cheney, Biden pushed for an invasion of a country on the far side of the world that was no threat to us, misled the public regarding nonexistent "weapons of mass destruction," and sought to silence critics of the war.
Telling the Lebanese How to Vote
Many Lebanese -- including some of Hezbollah's bitterest opponents -- wonder why Clinton and Biden, who have defended foreign forces wreaking such death and destruction on their country, have any right to tell them how to vote.
Democrites: Are Congressional Democrats Siding With Netanyahu Against President Obama?
While President Obama understands the importance of taking a tougher stance on Israel to fit the new circumstances, some Democrats in Congress do not.
Obama's Muslim Engagement
To be the first African-American president with a heritage that includes Islam gives him Obama legitimacy than any other president to make this speech.
Joe Biden, a Picket Line and 2016
Just how strongly is Joe Biden considering a third presidential bid in 2016? If anyone understands that a successful political career is a marathon, not a sprint, it's Biden.
The Republican Party is a Mess
The GOP is simply out of touch with the rest of the country and has a very long way to go to regain relevance in American politics.
Michael Steele's (Many) Problems
While Steele is the lightening rod, the GOP's problems can't easily be fixed -- by anyone. He will likely be among the fall guys after the 2010 elections.

Obama: Agent of Change or Compromiser in Chief

Both parties are worthless. When will we learn?
GREED MISMANGEMENT & STUPIDITY (GMS) is ruining this country.
Which one are you guilty of, Mr. Biden?
Misread the economy? Pump millions to billions into the pockets of the rich because "otherwise things would have totally collapsed"?
Whose reality are you and the President care-taking?
If it's taken you this long to see that your administration chose to do the wrong things for the wrong people, then I vote for Stupidity first, Mismanagement second, and Greed last-but not least.
Take your pick. There are no other accolades to describe the actions of this administration, or its lobbyist supporters.
What happened to all those promises:
-rollback the tax cuts for the wealthy
-end the forever war in Iraq
- surgical - not SURGES - intervention for Afghanistan
- close Gitmo
-green jobs
-affordable education
etc. Nothing for the people, Joe, NOTHING.
THINK ABOUT IT, FOLKS.
SINGLE PAYER NOW.
Biden said Israel has the right to pursue a different course of action on Iran than the U.S. does. "Look, Israel can determine for itself _ it's a sovereign nation _ what's in their interest and what they decide to do relative to Iran and anyone else."
And the other 'sovereign' nations of the region?...What about their self determination, Joe?
Biden essentially greenlights Israel to attack Iran, and that doesn't merit a full story here?

You know that we'll get sucked in.
I guess that's one way you could take his comments. Another is that he was just acknowledging that Bibi and Avigdor Lieberman have been bad-mouthing Ahmadinejad about the same way McCain has, perhaps more, and Biden refuses to preach to Israel's big mouths about staying out of Iranian politics; he's staying out of Israeli politics. A choice which I question, as much as we get involved on Israel's behalf, but the point here is that he is not really giving anybody any green light for pre-emptive invasion.
That would be illegal under international law, and nothing the vice president -- or the former vice president -- says can change that.
This shows how out of touch with reality Joe and most of these pols are. Come on Joe, a blind man could see this economy is in deep deep trouble.
Bottom line, There is very little MANUFACTURING left in this country anymore! Where are the jobs supposed to come from?
How can an economy be based on gov spending for bombs, missiles, and paperwork survive?
The problem is that we have two groups of the same snake running this country. When you have this kind of a problem, nothing will change. Biden knows the problem, but he wont do anything to stop it. Its called if they ended the war today, NOW, as we speak, money that is lterally getting wasted down the rat hole, could go back into the economy and healthcare. Nobody wants to do it, becuase of the oil. This is a greed driven group in Washington, more concerned with filling thier own pockets, than that of the American people. For all his talk about knowing how hard the Public has it? BS. If he really planned to do anything about it, it would have been done the day they took office. CFR won't let them do it. The public would have seen our civil rights given back to us, we would have single payer, our jobs would not have been lost due to cheating banks. Folks, we elected Obama to undo the damage, make him do it. Call and harrass congress, the senate, Biden and tell them we have had enough. I am, and I won't quit until we see real change.
Term limits are the only thing that CAN bring real change. It is the culture of DC that is the problem. Both left and right.
