Another post-election, lower-expectation attempt.
He's already destined to be a historic president - the first African-American. But will Obama be a great one? Even a good one?
The Americans who are comparing him to those remarkable predecessors are putting a lot of faith in a man they barely know.

Good question; Obama-like answer.
Get ready for four years of blame-the-questioner.

Better late than never.
There are many who had such an optimstic and hopeful opinion of things, and you certainly can’t expect things to change [snaps fingers] on a dime overnight, but there are many who suggested that with the outgoing Bush administration and the incoming Obama administration there would be something of a lull in [...]

This just in from the “Your tax dollars at rest” department:
It may look cramped, but while members of Congress are forced to shoehorn office staff and equipment into windowless closets and other tiny corners of the Capitol complex, Rep. Rangel’s taxpayer-funded workout room is just another example of the trappings of his power and seniority [...]

The lamestream media told you:
Nothing, although Sarah Palin and the GOP are trying to decide what to do with her clothes.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Obama’s opening salvo in his war against gun rights has been officially posted on the president-elect’s site — http://change.gov/agenda/urbanpolicy/
The Tiahrt amendment, which prevents every local police and sheriff’s office from [...]

The lamestream media told you:
Change is coming, change is good, we’ve got to get this country back on track, Obama has said we will “fundamentally transform” the greatest nation on Earth.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Change can be good depending on what the changes are. Changes that “fundamentally transform the greatest nation on Earth” into [...]

For years, I've written about liberal fringe groups that seek legitimacy by equating their issues to the black civil rights struggle. What I find interesting with the whole Proposition 8-gay marriage clash is that the very gays who want to be like blacks, now find themselves at odds with a black population that not only [...]

More British battiness:
“Ministers last year directed councils to use the terms “anti-Islamic activity” and “community resilience” instead of terrorism and extremism, as part of a drive to win over the Muslim community. But the rebranding has spread confusion and is preventing local authorities and public bodies from talking openly about the radicalisation of young [...]

I try and not lower myself to the level of the left. That level includes hate, but when it comes to what they are actively doing to politically innocent children, of which they have unfettered access, anger is growing with every new revelation of indoctrination.
Usually, children's books do not scare me. But I just read [...]

Eric Holder has been named as the top choice for U.S. Attorney General, a highly qualified expert with a ton of experience and the first black to ever hold this position. It’s a wonderful day for law and order in the stellar new presidential cabinet.

A few years ago while pondering a possible presidential run, Colin Powell gave a speech about the loss of shame in our society. Things have obviously gotten worse since.

Today we’re hitting leadoff on the WorldNetDaily commentary page with a column about the terrorist attack(s) in Mumbai and thoughts on part of the reason why innocent people are targeted and slaughtered, why it will probably happen in America, and how our government helps invite a loss of innocent life.

Normally I don’t post personal pictures because I don’t want anybody to get that sinking feeling you have when you’re at somebody’s house and they whip out the family photo album, so I beg your forgiveness for just a moment.

It will only be a matter of time that Barack Obama may come to appreciate the more reasonable Republican base to his gimme-gimme, liberal devotees.

It's amazing just what this whole Barack Obama birth certificate mess has come down to.
Each member of the Electoral College, who is committed to casting a vote on December 15, 2008, has a constitutional duty to make certain you are a natural-born citizen. As of today, there is no evidence in the public record (nor [...]

Here's Barack Obama's red meat for his ravenous left supporters.
Dr. Rice should fit in just fine with the America haters.

As we know liberals would much rather cast themselves off the Golden Gate Bridge before admitting they were wrong about anything, Barack Obama's committing of the United States to a "climate change" leadership posture should be considered nothing less than economic suicide.

Experts say our economy must be retooled. Economic leaders are meeting to discuss how to save the economy. The auto industry must be bailed out and saved so it can operate, say insiders. We need more hundreds of billions of dollars to save the planet, or the country, or the economy, [...]

I mean, Mr. Hope and Change hasn’t even taken office yet and the far left-wingers are already freaking out thinking Obama might actually try to lead from the center.
In one posting that seemed to echo in the Internet community, liberal blogger Chris Bowers wrote, “I feel incredibly frustrated. … Isn’t there ever a point when [...]

I mentioned yesterday that St Andrew’s day is Scotland’s national day and am pleased to report that Anne and I did do something towards celebrating it.

If you’re in Indiana, watch for deer falling from the sky.
Here’s why the deer are getting so freaky:
Late fall is stressful for deer because it is hunting season, said DNR spokesman Phil Bloom.
Really? I just thought they were nervous because it’s almost time to take their SAT’s.

Any wonder why we don't trust a word… let me rephrase that.
Any wonder why SOME OF US don't trust a word coming out of any candidate's mouth?

While our national legislators look down on our CEOs, pontificating, lecturing and scolding, it's not surprising that one word again rears its ugly head in reference to these acting-all-virtuous charlatans: hypocrisy.
