Partisans vs Liberals
Posted on February 9, 2013 ·
There are liberals: Personally, I think all presidents have too much power over life and death in this American Empire. But I really don’t trust presidents who create new powers to torture, kidnap and kill civilians with no due process and no accountability out of whole cloth. Bush did all that. As far as we [...]
On the inaugural address
Posted on January 27, 2013 ·
Nothing to say except for a lot of his first term his liberal agenda items got attention. The fact that he ran out a mostly liberal speech means that he probably sees less to compromise on in general and a mandate to get things done. I feel it will be uglier with house Republicans who [...]
You know, people stood in line for a long time to vote for President Obama. That means an extended black family will be in the White House for the next 4 years. A far cry from US founding father Thomas Jefferson who as MHP smartly points out is featured in the background of Michelle Obama’s [...]
Campaign Back Office: Tech team and human candidate beat Tech consultants and robot candidate
Posted on November 15, 2012 ·
Ars Technica has overview of Obama team’s superior back office platform: One of the biggest problems in the last campaign was that you had all these people who are out in the field who are volunteering who start building their own versions of these rogue tools to do the same thing over and over again,” [...]
President Obama Holds a Press Conference – YouTube.
props to The Obama Diary.
President Obama: “Im Really Proud of All of You.” – YouTube. One style thing I like about this President is how he shows up at his campaign HQ, talking to kids mostly right out of or in college and he gives them this kind of treatment and respect. The effusive gratitude is from the President [...]
Note: Check the stagecraft. Air Force One in the back, on the leather jacket: Commander in Chief name tag.
Critiquing black critics of Obama: turn right in the pew
Posted on November 1, 2012 ·
McWhorter endorses Obama for what his policies mean to the black community while lambasting Obama critics to the left of the President: Meanwhile, we have a President who has touted extra billions of dollars to community colleges; has states competing for Race To The Top funds to improve public schools where No Child Left Behind [...]
(NYC Mayor) Bloomberg & the Economist endorse Obama
Posted on November 1, 2012 ·
The Economist (a right leaning to right wing magazine) cites Obama’s foreign policy, “Obamacare” and the Auto Rescue as reasons to vote for Obama and as for Romney: As a result, this election offers American voters an unedifying choice. Many of The Economist’s readers, especially those who run businesses in America, may well conclude that [...]
It’s good to see a funded and responsive FEMA led by civil servants who are disaster recovery experts.
on the last debate
Posted on October 23, 2012 ·
He knows he’s just lying about what he’s offering. He knows a lot of people know he’s bullsh*tting, but if he can get enough people to buy what he’s selling, he makes his numbers for the election and it’ll be all good! Andrew Sullivan’s live blogs are fun reads, especially when he wigs out, but this [...]
Stacey Dash isn’t your problem
Posted on October 19, 2012 ·
In calling Stacey Dash bullshit as opposed to calling her views bullshit, people are engaging in misogyny (directly by berating her on twitter) and inward hatred of black autonomy. Not acknowledging that a black person can come to a different point of view, cultural orientation and political ethic than the majority of black folks is part and [...]
