Is this just another attempt to make an excuse for Obama being a weak leader, or just more racism from the liberal elite media?

I enjoy using Facebook, as it is a great way to keep up with friends and things of that sort. However, Facebook has the usual bias against republicans that is common among the “big media” types in the internet today. I noticed in the past couple of weeks that some have been joining a “fan page” titled Not having George Bush has President.

In another case of “this will never make the MSM”, we see that Obama tried to use our troops as pawns in his political game.  “WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence. According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July. “ As usual, if this was McCain it would be all over the...

Obamessiah has released their first "general election" ad. More nonsense that the Obama fanatics just can't get enough of. In "Country I Love," Barack speaks to voters about the core values this nation was founded on and how they have guided him to work hard for his education, to bypass jobs on Wall Street to work as a community organizer, and to lead the fight for America's families and veterans as an Illinois and United States Senator. Airing throughout the country. Youtube

I think the election of Obama is one of the worst things that can happen to our country. With that, I have put money and resources together to start Americans Against Obama. This is basically a website/blog where Americans with the same interests can come together and help spread the word about the "reality" of Obama.

The world of Windows Customization is a large one, with content scattered all over the Internet. In general, most people only frequent a few sites here or there and might be missing out on a lot of great content around the community. This list is my view of the top six sites in the skinning community. Link

Nintendo announced last night that the highly anticipated Wii will be released in the U.S. on November 19th at a launch price of $250. The Wii will be released just days after Sony plans to release the PS3. While Sony has said they will have a limited number of PS3's available for the holiday season, Nintendo assures they will have "far more available than their competitor". Link

I was looking for some new software for my Mac, and I came across this widget. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28961 It's just pathetic. Not much else to say.

WASHINGTON - The number of new people signing up for jobless benefits fell sharply last week, offering a dose of encouraging news that the recovery in the labor market may be strengthening a bit. The Labor Department (news - web sites) reported Thursday that new filings for unemployment insurance declined by a seasonally adjusted 25,000 to 329,000 for the week ending Oct. 16. That marked the lowest level since early September. In the prior week, claims had climbed by 16,000. The latest snapshot of the layoffs climate was better than economists were expecting. They were forecasting claims to total in...

PARIS (Reuters) - Osama bin Laden has escaped capture in Afghanistan several times and may be linked in some way to the Madrid train attacks that killed 200 people, France's chief of defense staff said Monday. Gen. Henri Bentegeat said about 200 French troops were operating with U.S. forces in southeastern Afghanistan against the Taliban and bin Laden's al Qaeda. The Saudi-born militant is thought to be there or just across the border in Pakistan. "Our men were not very far. On several occasions, I even think he slipped out of a net that was quite well closed," he told...

March 10 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said tax cuts enacted under President George W. Bush have cost middle-income U.S. residents $3,500 in higher state and local taxes, health care costs and college tuitions. ``Rain or shine, surplus or deficit, George Bush's economic plan begins and ends with tax giveaways to the wealthiest Americans with special connections,'' Kerry said in remarks delivered from Chicago via satellite to a meeting of U.S. labor union leaders in Florida. ``I intend to return tax fairness to America.'' Kerry said he will raise income taxes on those with more than $200,000 a...

Without naming anybody, Kerry said he had received words of encouragement from leaders abroad who were eager to see him defeat Bush on Nov. 2. "I've met foreign leaders who can't go out and say this publicly, but boy they look at you and say, 'You've got to win this, you've got to beat this guy, we need a new policy,' things like that," he said.

By Susan Page and Jill Lawrence, USA TODAY WASHINGTON ? Democratic presidential contender Howard Dean accused Republicans on Thursday of running up the federal budget deficit so they can undermine the fiscal underpinnings of Medicare and Social Security. "I think their principal motivation is to undo the pillars of the New Deal, particularly Medicare and Social Security, by making the budget deficit so big that those programs can't be sustained," he said at a lunch with USA TODAY and the Gannett News Service.
