Obama the Arrogant.

An AP story published today discusses the arrogance of Obama.  Some highlights;

Arrogance is a common vice in presidential politics. A person must be more than a little self-important to wake up one day and say, “I belong in the Oval Office.”

Coming soon!

We’ve taken a little vacation since the glorious Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island victories, but now worries, we will be back!  Watch for many, many new posts over the coming week.  There is definitely a lot to talk about…

Who Is Nadhmi Auchi and What’s His Tie to Obama?

By Jack Kelly

You probably would have heard of Nadhmi Auchi by now if Sen. Barack Obama were a Republican.
A British citizen of Iraqi descent, Mr. Auchi, 70, is a billionaire, the 279th richest man in the world, according to a Forbes magazine survey last year.

A great deal of Mr. Auchi’s money was made

Seat Florida’s delegates!

Now that the seating of Florida’s delegates has come to the forefront in this election, it’s important to understand why the Florida election was legitimate as it stands. In that vein, I’m re-posting one of the first postings I wrote for this blog below. The reasons that Florida should have been considered a great victory for Hillary are the same reasons why the delegates must be seated.

Obama loses bigtime in Florida..

Of course, he doesn’t want the public to believe that, and as usual, the mainstream media is more than willing to sing his tune.In his typical George W Bush style, Barack Obama has smugly

Obama, Wellstone a “gadfly.”

I watched with nausea as Obama spoke a while back in Minneapolis and praised and praised the popular former senator from Minnesota, Paul Wellstone, who unfortunately was killed several years ago in a plane crash.

I couldn’t help but think of David Sirota’s article about Obama in The Nation, Mr. Obama goes to Washington, in which Obama refers to Wellstone as a gadfly.  Gadfly is defined as; a persistent irritating critic; a nuisance.

In a similar vein and a must read is Harper’s Magazine’s, Barack Obama Inc.

Obama’s Lie of the Day: I won Michigan!

Obama’s lies are so brazen it’s just unbelievable.  Perhaps more unbelievable is how the media continues to ignore them.

This morning on The Today Show, Obama claimed that he won Michigan, a state where he wasn’t even on the ballot.  Maybe he’s just delusional….

Obama Kept Contributions From Accused Fixer’s Wife And Others

Apparently Obama thinks pointing out contributions from Rezko’s wife is “casting a wide net.” More strange Obamalogic…

ABCNews.com Analysis Shows the Campaign Still Hasn’t Returned More Than $100,000 in Questionable Contributions

By AVNI PATEL

Jan. 28, 2008—

Despite claims over the weekend from Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama that his campaign had given away all the donations connected to accused fixer Antoin “Tony” Rezko, the campaign has not returned

Obama knocked out…

Ed Morrisey writes;

Barack Obama could be excused for believing two weeks ago that he had nothing more than a flower-strewn path to the nomination. Women fainted in his presence, the media loved telling the story of the new Bobby Kennedy, and Hillary Clinton appeared to have all but conceded in her last debate. A funny thing happened on the way to Obama’s coronation, however

Obama’s Weaker Support With Democrats

According to the latest Pew Center Poll;

Obama would lose one quarter of Hillary supporters in the general election. A quarter of Democrats (25%) who back Clinton for the nomination say they would favor McCain in a general election test against Obama. The “defection” rate among Obama’s supporters if Clinton wins the nomination is far lower; just 10% say they would vote for McCain in November, while 86% say they would back Clinton.

“Obamacans” – those Republicans who are supporting Obama — are outnumbered two-to-one by what we would have to call “McCainocrats.”  There goes Obama’s theory of winning the election by converting republicans.

Come on guys; I answered like eight questions. We’re running late.

Those were Obama’s words as he curtly walked out on a press conference earlier today, a sign of the continuing deterioration of the relationship between Obama and the press.  As the Rezko trial begins and more and more evidence mounts that Obama has been rather untruthful (shocking!) with the press about his relationship with Rezko.

From NBC/NJ’s Aswini Anburajan
SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Led by the Chicago press corps that has covered Obama for years, the candidate today faced a barrage of questions in what turned out to be a contentious news conference.

Despite Rhetoric, Obama Pushed Lobbyists’ Interests

Despite Rhetoric, Obama Pushed Lobbyists’ Interests

Justin Rood Reports:

Away from the bright lights and high-minded rhetoric of the campaign trail, Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has quietly worked with corporate lobbyists to help pass breaks worth $12 million.

In his speeches, Obama has lambasted lobbyists and moneyed interests who “have turned our government into a game only they can afford to play.”

“It’s an entire culture in Washington — some of it legal, some of it not,” the Democratic hopeful told a New York crowd in June, rallying support for his ethics reform agenda.

But last year, at the request of a hired representative for an Australian-owned chemical corporation Nufarm, Obama introduced nine separate bills

Deliverance or Diversion?

After their victory in the 2006 Congressional elections, it seemed a given that Democrats would try to make this year’s presidential campaign another referendum on Republican policies. After all, the public appears fed up not just with

Once again the Obama’s are pretending that they are saintly public servants, living in poverty and struggling to pay back their student loans. (See “Obama: Not cashing in???”) She fails to mention that she currently rakes in more than six times the average salary of the citizen s in the town she’s speaking in, and that she has
