Obama the blame(less) duck
Today two columnists try to dish out the tasteless old pap claiming that, although Obama and the Democratic Party are tanking, it’s not the President’s fault. The dauntless Obama apologist E.J. Dionne claims that it’s the Senate’s fault, as well … Continue reading →
Those White House books on socialism
A blogger reports that he went on a White House tour and saw some books on socialism in a library stocked by Michelle Obama. I say: big deal. That has no particular meaning. In fact, if both Obamas were dedicated … Continue reading →
