Crowd size: does it matter?

The New Neo Posted on November 5, 2012 by neoNovember 5, 2012

You’ve probably noticed lots of photos of the huge crowds Romney has been drawing lately. And perhaps you’ve read some of the articles I’ve read, pro and con on the subject of whether crowd size at rallies matters. They tend … Continue reading →

The best revenge…

The New Neo Posted on November 3, 2012 by neoNovember 3, 2012

…for what? For having more money than the members of Obama’s audience, of course. Romney’s rich, and the rich are the enemy—unless they’re Democrats. Barack Obama, such a likeable guy. Any other questions?

Obama’s self-evaluation

The New Neo Posted on November 3, 2012 by neoNovember 3, 2012

In light of Benghazi, let’s take a trip back in time—here’s candidate Barack Obama, in April of 2008, describing the challenges ahead: Nobody is entirely prepared for being Commander-in-Chief. The question is when the 3 AM phone call comes do … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on November 3, 2012 by neoNovember 3, 2012

I’ve got a new article up at PJ: Obama’s foreign policy: amateur hour at the White House. Comment here, comment there, comment comment everywhere.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal…

The New Neo Posted on November 2, 2012 by neoNovember 2, 2012

…does not heart Obama. Remember, as you read it, that it’s an editorial, not a column by a single person.

Wordsmiths for Obama: redux

The New Neo Posted on November 2, 2012 by neoNovember 2, 2012

[NOTE: Some of the comments on today’s earlier post about Noonan, Obama, and narcissism made me remember the following piece. I wrote it back in June of 2008 to explain the phenomenon of why so many wordsmiths were so taken … Continue reading →

Why Leon Panetta?

The New Neo Posted on November 1, 2012 by neoNovember 1, 2012

In following the Benghazi debacle I am reminded of what an exceptionally poor choice Leon Panetta was, first for CIA head and then for Defense. That’s not a new thought. I said as much when he was first appointed as … Continue reading →

The watershed election

The New Neo Posted on October 31, 2012 by neoOctober 31, 2012

I think Stanley Kurtz is spot-on: …Obama and his advisors never abandoned their quest to shape a permanent leftist majority, a coalition that would forever put an end to Clintonian triangulation and usher in unfettered leftist Obamaism instead. Obama’s frantic … Continue reading →

Carter/Obama, Tehran/Benghazi, 1980/2012

The New Neo Posted on October 30, 2012 by neoOctober 30, 2012

A comment by “RickZ” about the failed Iran hostage rescue attempt in the waning days of the Carter administration prompted this reply from me, referring to a post I wrote several years ago on the anniversary of Operation Eagle Claw … Continue reading →

The race card never gets old

The New Neo Posted on October 30, 2012 by neoOctober 29, 2012

Frank Bruni’s latest column is sort of interesting. Bruni can’t stand Romney, and spends at least half of his piece making that fact crystal clear, just so his readers won’t get the wrong impression. But he’s also disappointed in Obama, … Continue reading →

Obama forced to say something about Benghazi

The New Neo Posted on October 29, 2012 by neoOctober 29, 2012

It’s an evasion, of course, but it’s an indication that the MSM hasn’t been able to totally protect the president on this. The cliche-generator has been working overtime for Obama: President Barack Obama said in an interview that if the … Continue reading →

Romnesia, Rhamnusia

The New Neo Posted on October 29, 2012 by neoOctober 29, 2012

I don’t remember exactly where I saw it, but I hadn’t known before that there’s another name for Nemesis: In Greek mythology, Nemesis (Greek, Νέμεσις), also called Rhamnousia/Rhamnusia (“the goddess of Rhamnous”) at her sanctuary at Rhamnous, north of Marathon, … Continue reading →
