Shorter Democrat campaign: “Vote for me because I’m not George Bush, and he is”

The New Neo Posted on August 28, 2008 by neoSeptember 8, 2008

If you wanted to condense the Democrats’ campaign into a simple sentence, this would be it: “Vote for me because I’m not George Bush, and he is.” And, as campaign slogans go, it’s not half bad.

Obama: champion of freedom of speech—except if that speech is against him

The New Neo Posted on August 27, 2008 by neoJune 30, 2009

Obama is protesting an ad that targets his association with domestic 60s terrorist Bill Ayres. Here’s the ad: Obama is asking his supporters to threaten to boycott stations running the ad.

Not all Obama supporters are happy with the way the rollout went

The New Neo Posted on August 23, 2008 by neoSeptember 8, 2008

When the MSM spilled the beans on Obama’s VP pick last night, I was thinking that, not only will the PUMAs absolutely hate this, but many young and “progressive” Obama supporters will as well. I’m not just talking about the … Continue reading →

Obama’s pick: why, it’s the Democratic McCain!

The New Neo Posted on August 23, 2008 by neoSeptember 8, 2008

My title is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, of course. But it did occur to me, watching clips of Joe Biden late last night, that Obama’s new running mate is the closest thing to John McCain that Obama could have found in the … Continue reading →

“Waiting for Barack”

The New Neo Posted on August 22, 2008 by neoSeptember 8, 2008

You’ve got to hand it to him—Obama certainly knows how to milk the drama of the VP wait. And speaking of drama, I think you’ll agree that Beckett was remarkably prescient. Note especially the reference to Bush. ESTRAGON: (despairingly). Ah! … Continue reading →

Obama and the tax code: from each according to his ability, to each according to “fairness”

The New Neo Posted on August 22, 2008 by neoAugust 23, 2008

Some of Obama’s slightly-less-publicized statements are the ones that concern me most. Case in point: in this WSJ column by William McGurn, the author points out that for Obama, taxes are not just about collecting revenue. What are they for? … Continue reading →

Meet Obama’s female doppleganger, Baldilocks

The New Neo Posted on August 21, 2008 by neoAugust 23, 2008

Blogger Baldilocks has a fascinating story on her own. But it’s even more fascinating these days because it runs roughly parallel for a while to that of none other than Senator Obama, although it then veers off rather dramatically from … Continue reading →

Those who don’t know this story…

The New Neo Posted on August 20, 2008 by neoAugust 20, 2008

…need to read it. You might also want to send a link to your friends who support Obama and see what they have to say about it.

What’s up with Obama’s head tilt?

The New Neo Posted on August 19, 2008 by neoAugust 23, 2008

I’ve noticed that in conversation and interviews, Obama seems to have a perpetual head tilt (mostly to the right), both when he listens and when he talks: It is so pronounced that it was present during virtually his entire Saddleback … Continue reading →

On the Saddleback interviews—whose simplistic world is it, anyway?

The New Neo Posted on August 18, 2008 by neoOctober 16, 2009

I watched about twenty-five minutes of the Saddleback interviews with Obama and McCain, and although I’m hardly an objective viewer, and it was only a “snippet” (to use one of Obama’s favorite words) of the whole, my perception is that … Continue reading →

Swiftboating Obama—and swiftboating the swiftboaters who swiftboat…

The New Neo Posted on August 13, 2008 by neoAugust 23, 2008

The NY Times has a dismissive article about the new Corsi book on Obama entitled Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, which to the chagrin of the Times editors, “is to make its first appearance on The … Continue reading →

Is it self-confidence or is it arrogance?

The New Neo Posted on August 8, 2008 by neoAugust 23, 2008

Peggy Noonan writes in today’s WSJ: Two weeks ago a journalist, a moderate liberal, spoke to me of what he called Mr. Obama’s arrogance. I said I didn’t think it was arrogance but high self-regard. He said there’s no difference. … Continue reading →
