Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Michelle Malkin takes Michelle Obama to task for her apparently hypocritical advise to UC Merced graduates to “give.” Malkin took issue with this language: “You will face tough times. You will certainly have doubts, and let me tell you because I know I did when I was your age,” she
Continue readingIf you’re over thirty, you remember the shampoo commercials that had the tag line “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.” If you’ve forgotten, let me refresh your memory: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz8ul-gmLyA[/youtube] That slogan started repeating itself in my head with the attacks on Sarah Palin. I won’t repeat here (or link to)
Continue readingI suspect Obama did this because he’s a yahoo who is out of his league, but there is no doubt but that this is a weirdly symbolic picture of Obama’s foreign policy. And let’s not even get into the weird marital ramifications behind the fact that, while Obama grovels to
Continue readingI have been trying my darndest to ignore Judith Warner’s sleazy New York Times piece detailing the sexual fantasies liberal women are having about Obama. On the list of things I really don’t want to know, this ranks right up there with the nature of Bill Clinton’s underwear. These are
Continue readingMary Katharine Ham also weighs in on both Michelle’s and Barack’s periodic meanness. She mentions a few examples I’d forgotten and reminds me of Obama’s snide remark about Pennsylvianians as embittered, religiously fanatic gun clingers. One can be nice and witty. One can be mean and witty. And one can
Continue readingI thought it was her taste in clothes, but maybe it’s just me. No matter what Mrs. Obama wears, she reminds me of a couch. For example, compare this (her dress for the inauguration) and this (a yellow couch). Or how about this (her ball gown) and this (a white
Continue readingI don’t feel like blogging today. I’m working on a post-election plan, but it hasn’t come to fruition yet, and I’m feeling a little in limbo right now, just watching things play out. However, I do want you to know that I have an opinion on “the dress” (that would
Continue readingFinal word: it’s a fake. See The Corner for more info. ********************************************************************************* No wonder the Obama campaign has been keeping Michelle in the background. Every time she opens her mouth, something shocking comes out. UPDATE: The Obama camp is pushing back, saying the entire thing is a fake. And it
Continue readingThe media is working hard to prevent the American people from hearing what comes from the conservatives, whether by ignoring it altogether, or by using selective cut and paste, or by engaging in intentional humiliation tactics (with their opposite number being saved for Obama). Sometimes, though, verbal judo works —
Continue readingAs part of an excellent analysis of the bizarre pathologies that drive Barack and Michelle Obama in this most weird of political campaigns, James Lewis writes: Barack’s run for President is his big chance to make up for those haunting feelings of self-doubt and worthlessness. So for the Obama campaign,
Continue readingObama has a pattern when a person or institution proves problematic: First, loyally, he tries to defend the troublemaker. Second, when his poll numbers show that the defense is futile, he ruthlessly jettisons the troublemaker, whether it’s Samantha Power, Jeremiah Wright or Trinity Church. But what about this troublemaker (assuming,
Continue readingMichelle Malkin takes on Michelle Obama’s endless flow of whining and bile. It’s not surprising. As I pointed out in my Anger on the Left post, Leftism once seemed logically congruent with anger because Leftism was the politics of the underclass. In recent years, though, Leftism has shifted to become
Continue readingMuch is being made of the fact that Michelle and Barack Obama, when they were earning a mere quarter million after tax dollars per year, were exceptionally stingy with their charitable donations. (See here and here, for example.) If that is the whole story of their charitable contributions, that’s pretty
Continue readingBarack Obama, a political nobody in terms of experience, has been thrust to the highest echelons in a matter of months, with the White House realistically within his reach. This is every politician’s dream, it’s the Hollywood movie, but it may not be quite the perfect scenario that Obama and
