So what is the matter with Obama? Conservatives have been asking this question for some time. I've written a number of articles trying to solve the mystery.   Even some liberals are starting to wonder. James Carville railed about Obama's blasé attitude after the catastrophic oil spill. The New York Times' Maureen Dowd revamped Obama's "Yes We Can" motto into "Will We Ever?" The liberal women of the TV show "The View" have expressed sympathy for Michelle Obama's living with a man so out of touch. Peggy Noonan, hardly a vehement Obama foe,  recently pronounced him disconnected.  Obama's odd mannerisms intrigue...

This is an article which has been around for a while now. It is well written and should be reviewed by those that continue to challenge Obama. We should never forget the fact that a true “master of deceit” is sitting in the Whitehouse.This is an EXCLUSIVE article posted on the Western Journalism website. Here is the original link.It should be pointed out that American Grand Jury has evidence saved within its database backing up most claims made in this article. One special note: where this article claims Obama has spent 1.4 million dollars paying lawyers to hide the truth,...

Having Obama as president is like being involved in a bad relationship. One that we either knew intuitively or had friends warn us would be a big mistake – but we hadn't listened. Why? How could we be accepting of someone who turns out to be filled with rancor and who is unrepentantly untrustworthy – someone who is miserable and makes all around them miserable as well? To the public they/he seem(s) intelligent and winsome, but in reality they/he are white-washed sepulchers which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. That is...

Vice President Al Gore will deliver his wildly popular “An Inconvenient Truth” multimedia lecture at the University of California, San Diego at 5:30 p.m. May 21 in RIMAC Arena. The event is free and open to the public; however, tickets are required for entry. Sponsors for the presentation are UC San Diego, Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, the San Diego Foundation, the UCSD Helen Edison Lecture Series and the Environment and Sustainability Initiative. Tickets will be distributed only through the UCSD Box Office (a maximum of four per person) by either coming to the Box Office located...

Still think there's no money in spreading global warming alarmism? Well, how'd you like to make $1,200 just for shaking someone's hand and having your picture taken with the sycophant? This is what Al "I'm Only Doing This To Save The Planet" Gore is charging for such an honor at next week's climate change conference in Copenhagen. Nice work if you can get it, huh? "Meet Al Gore in Copenhagen." The official announcement from this fair Danish city says it all. The former vice president is getting star treatment when he arrives with an entire swarm of green-minded gadflies for...

To this day I remain baffled and somewhat dumbstruck by the complacency of the public, the mainstream media, Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court for their willingness to dismiss challenges to President Barack Obama's (aka Barry Soetoro) natural born U.S. citizen status. Yes, the election is over, and yes, I acknowledge that nothing likely will ever come of this, but it astounds me that we are in month nine of Obama, yet his eligibility to serve as president remains unresolved. The majority of challenges to Obama's natural-born status revolve around the fact he has refused to release his original, long-form,...

On Sunday, CBS Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer praised President Obama’s recent media blitz for health care reform: "There’s no question he is the best salesman on the staff," but wondered: "Does he run the risk of overexposing himself?" Politco.com’s Roger Simon dispelled that fear: "It is a risk, but he keeps topping himself." Simon elaborated on Obama’s oratory skill: "Every time you think this guy can’t give another speech that’s better than the last one, he gives another speech that’s better than the last one. And he’s achieving his purpose." He added that the President’s address to Congress...

President Barack Obama Wednesday demanded Congress act now on health reform, warning more Americans would die if Washington again does nothing to expand care and cut the costs of insurance

Arthur Frommer the supposed travel expert said he would travel boycott Arizona because a man should up at a political rally in AZ with an open carry gun. Well maybe Frommer needs to answer a question from me.

August 03, 2009 04:22 PM ETThese so called Birthers won't accept Obama's citizenship regardless of any proof, so why do the media continue to pay attention to them [Poll on Birthers: Most Southerners, Republicans Question Obama Citizenship, usnews.com]? I think it is time for the media to move on and no longer give them a mouthpiece. There is no investigation here anymore, and this was cleared up way before Obama was elected. These people are basically just angry that Obama is president. The childish whining will not stop until the Republicans are back in power ... and at this rate...

MILITARY, ENGINEERING BACKGROUND FABRICATED Mr. McManus wears U.S. Air Force fatigues with his name and the distinctive single star of a brigadier general. PAXTON, MA -- The smooth-talking former Paxton man, who once mingled with Worcester's business and political elite, wore his guises effortlessly by all accounts. As far as anyone knew, Kevin B. McManus was an engineer, just like it said on the business cards he handed out here and in Florida. He talked his way into a lucrative consulting job near Tampa late last year. He even was hired to testify in March as an engineering expert in...

Here is video from last night's 60 Minutes Interview with President Barack Obama, where interviewer Steve Kroft asks Obama why he is laughing so much about the serious problems facing the nation. He ask Obama, "Are you punch-drunk," to which Obama says his laughter represents "gallows humor." Obama's laughter at all the bailouts is out of place, and not Presidential at all. It is easy to laugh when you are on easy street, but quite another thing when you are on the other side facing the consequences of the socialist agenda Obama is pushing on the nation. . . ....

ATLANTA (AP) — Two dozen black lawmakers angrily stalked out of the Georgia House on Friday amid claims a decision by white Republican leaders to delay passage of a resolution honoring President Barack Obama had racist overtones. House Speaker Glenn Richardson said the proposal to make Obama an honorary member of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus required some changes to its language and sent it to a committee. Supporters, including black lawmakers, claimed the move was a snub to the nation's first black president. "It drips with racism," said state Rep. Al Williams, a Democrat. "I call it just like...

As an old-time consumer reporter, I can tell you when a salesman says you have to do the deal right now, chances are he’s a rip-off artist, and a good general rule is to walk away — or better yet, run away. The old now-or-never routine is generally regarded as a red flag flying. When a president tells Congress and the nation you have to do a trillion-dollar deal immediately or catastrophe is in the wings, you should be skeptical. When he says we’ll get into a recession we’ll never get out of, you know he’s just blowing smoky hot...

By all accounts, Satyam ex-chairman Ramalinga Raju is having a rollicking time in Chanchalguda jail. His popularity among the inmates, all of whom are in awe of a man who can make Rs 7,000 crore disappear, knows no bounds. “Some of us affectionately call him by his nickname Scamalinga,” said a petty thief, “But most just call him Gurudev.” Reports have come in that Raju had 20 idlis for breakfast, five plates of rice and a bucket of rasam for lunch and 25 chapatis with two chickens for dinner. But the jail superintendent says these numbers are inflated. “You see,...

Perhaps you've noticed an abundance of "Top Ten" lists in recent weeks. As usual, the mainstream media has churned out a variety of year-in-review pieces of late. Two events vied for top billing on all those lists -- the financial meltdown and the presidential election. At present, it isn't clear which of those debacles presents the greater threat to our nation. The factors leading up to the economic collapse in the last two quarters are clear (see Economics 101). What is not clear, however, is whether we can limit the damage to a mere recession. On the other hand, we...

national security should drive the meaning of an Article II "natural born Citizen"

We know that Obama is a liar about so many things. The question of whether or not he is in fact, a Natural Born Citizen and eligible to be President of The United States of America, has no importance anymore. The question of eligibility has evolved far beyond that simple question, with such a simple solution, that Obama refuses to provide. The government of Kenya has put a Gag Order on his family not to talk to reporters. What we don’t know, what there is absolutely no proof of, is his place of birth, his true father or his mother....

What kind of sucker do you have to be to fall for the lovable pretensions of a really high-class hustler? Well, apparently exactly the same kind of sucker who falls for a really high-class Ponzi artist. In fact, you might be the very same person in the flesh, just begging to be relieved of your excess cash. (Or maybe just your rights and freedoms.) It might also help to be a fatuous liberal of great wealth --- and even greater moral pretensions --- and shazzam! you're shark bait. Such is the history lesson of 2008. (Take it to heart, kids,...
