The day after: post-election reflections

The New Neo Posted on November 5, 2008 by neoNovember 7, 2008

A few minutes into the second Presidential debate, I realized McCain was almost certain to lose this election. I had been thinking that a McCain defeat was the likely outcome ever since the financial crisis began. But that debate was … Continue reading →

Obama’s lump of coal

The New Neo Posted on November 3, 2008 by neoNovember 7, 2008

Another blast from the Obama past has been dropped, a bombshell interview from last January with the San Francisco Chronicle in which Obama said that the environmental policies he proposes would cause builders of new coal plants to go bankrupt. … Continue reading →

More from the Obama archives: waiting for the right moment to push the progressive agenda

The New Neo Posted on November 3, 2008 by neoNovember 7, 2008

Many of the revelations about Obama that have come out in the past week have been excerpts from old interviews. I’ve even come across one myself—this piece that appeared in Harper’s two years ago, back when Obama wasn’t yet exercising … Continue reading →

Another reminder of Obama’s arrogance—as if we needed reminding

The New Neo Posted on November 2, 2008 by neoNovember 2, 2008

Found this gem over at Hillbuzz. It’s all pretty dreadful, but the really special arrogance begins at :40: And here’s a primer of Obama’s dirty tricks, from the same source. It happened to Hillary and her supporters, and now it’s … Continue reading →

Will the real Obama please stand up?

The New Neo Posted on October 29, 2008 by neoNovember 7, 2008

Or has he already? In the comments section of my last post there was a telling exchange about Obama’s outward demeanor versus his true inner nature and agenda. This comment by “kamper’ was the one that started the ball rolling: … Continue reading →

Back when they weren’t afraid to say Obama was a radical

The New Neo Posted on October 28, 2008 by neoNovember 7, 2008

It’s instructive to go back in time and see what was being said about Obama when he was starting out his Presidential race but hadn’t fully invented himself as a moderate yet. It’s especially interesting to look at periodicals with … Continue reading →

Spread it around—it would be good to see this particular “wealth” redistributed

The New Neo Posted on October 27, 2008 by neoNovember 7, 2008

The following audio tape is from a 2001 Obama radio interview. It’s already featured on Drudge, so it’s sure to reach quite a few people. But I’m doing my little bit by posting it here. You can do yours by … Continue reading →

The Obama campaign takes a cue from Orwell: history as palimpsest

The New Neo Posted on October 22, 2008 by neoNovember 7, 2008

Orwell knew full well how important this sort of erasure of history by the Obama campaign is, although he didn’t envision the help of the internet’s wayback machine in reconstructing the vanished past. Do Obama’s scrubbers realize that such a … Continue reading →

Obama’s campaign and the press: a long history of working hand in hand

The New Neo Posted on October 20, 2008 by neoSeptember 15, 2023

Some Obama defenders have pointed out that Joe the Plumber made himself fair game for the exposure of his personal information by insinuating himself into an election when he asked a question of candidate Obama. Others have said that Obama … Continue reading →

It’s the free speech, stupid

The New Neo Posted on October 18, 2008 by neoNovember 7, 2008

Like Iowahawk, I’m finding that the attacks on Joe the Plumber have made me angrier than almost anything else in this long and nasty campaign. It seems to be the most naked example of the technique of crushing anyone or … Continue reading →

Well, Joe may be a plumber, but at least he’s not a bitter clinger

The New Neo Posted on October 16, 2008 by neoOctober 17, 2008

I don’t know what it will take to wake America up to Obama. It’s not as though ample evidence of his Leftist history, lying, close associations with shady/radical/hateful characters, arrogance, and elitism hasn’t been available for some time now. If … Continue reading →

I must be a glutton for punishment: liveblogging the third Presidential debate

The New Neo Posted on October 15, 2008 by neoOctober 18, 2008

I must say my usual antipathy to debates has grown. And I don’t think these debates have made much of a difference at all so far—and barring some very strange and unforeseen circumstance, I don’t think this one will. But … Continue reading →
