Guess Who Think’s Obama’s Tone Deaf?
Well, you and I, of course. But who else? The recession redo, paid for by the nonprofit White House Historical Association, was the latest tone-deaf move by a White House that was supposed to excel at connection and communication. Message: I care, but not enough to stop the fancy vacations and posh renovations. As Obama [...]
Families USA Says Its The Propaganda Machine Behind The White House
Out of the mouths of babes, eh? There’s a reason you don’t let interns handle your social media. One such intern, a Mark Durham out in D.C., took exception to a series I’m developing on Families USA and their connections to SEIU and the White House. This young man tells us how Families USA, instead of being a non-partisan, independent think tank on health care issues, in truth is the propaganda organ behind every healthcare story to come out of the White House.

I’m going to close the comments on this post, because I don’t want people to argue back and forth. If this is the kind of post you like, please just think on it, pray on…
Claire McCaskill On Obama Approval: We Oversold Him And You People Are Stupid
Claire McCaskill is out doing damage control on the sinking Obama approval ratings. Check this out. “The bar for change was set inordinately high by the tone of the presidential campaign,” said McCaskill, an early supporter of Obama’s who endorsed him over then-Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) in January 2008. First let’s pause to remember that Claire was the backchannel to the Obama campaign before her "story" about her daughter making her come out for Obama. She’s been in his camp all along. In fact, it’s fair to say her "support" for Obama was a carefully calculated political move lacking…
