By on Saturday, July 30th, 2011 | No Comments

If you were watching Twitter on Friday you saw President Obama try to muster pressure on Republican legislators to compromise their principles. @BarackObama tweeted for hours, urging people to contact their legislators, one state at a time, losing tens of thousands of followers in the process.

Balance the Budget: Now is the Time

By on Friday, July 29th, 2011 | No Comments

A new video from Representative Cathy McMorris Rogers (R-WA,) Co-Chair of the Republican New Media Caucus.

First Impressions of Obama’s Speech

By on Tuesday, August 31st, 2010 | 5 Comments

President Obama gave a short prime time speech this evening to mark the end of combat operations in Iraq. What remains are 50,000 troops to provide support, training and backup. Seems an artificial distinction to me, as the “advisors” who died in Viet Nam in 1962 were just as dead as the combat troops in [...]

More Silly Birther Crap

By on Friday, August 13th, 2010 | 2 Comments

“Birther” is shorthand for someone who thinks that President Obama was not born in the United States, and is therefore not eligible for the office of President.
