How To Save Obama's Presidency

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Hmm, an interesting point of view from someone who doesn't like Obama:

I suppose he does have a point and Republicans would have to back him on this one...

Commanders On The Ground

Posted By Rod Kaufman

It about time the stuff stops flowing downhill and the stink rises above where it belongs. Just don't tell it to McCain and Palin and they still believe we "won" in Iraq.

Could it be Republicans are wrong and rising deficits are good for America?
Here's a case for MORE deficit:

It's Time For A Revolution

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Well, I heard about the Ron Paul Revolution but there's another one from none other than Sarah Palin. I held my nose and watched the "speech" tonight on CNN and managed to stop gagging long enough to recall a few of the opening bangs of the darling of the tea party crowd.
Hmm, where to begin?
How about transparency for starters? While Sarah criticized Obama for perceived lapses in transparency, she wouldn't elaborate on what she would do with the one hundred grand she got for speaking to the crowd at the tea part convention. But at more than five hundred apiece to listen to her, it appears the usual suspects weren't in attendance. I didn't see too many old farts with tea bags hanging from their heads at the speech like I do when I see the video of the rallies. No kids either. Most of 'em looked like yuppy GOPers.
She blasted the stimulus, you know the one the congressional budget office says is working, but she took 69% of it for Alaska before she bailed:

Well, there's more but I'm sure in do course we will find out where the one hundred grand went but it will likely take a revolution to find out.

Playing Politics With Terrorism

Posted By Rod Kaufman

The GOP has the ball now but the Dems have done the same:

It's evident though, the GOP is a lot more hypocritical about it...

Obama Tries Again

To reach out to Republicans on health care:

A second herculean effort by our president at reaching out to the Republicans.
I'd sure can't wait to hear how they'll lower costs and stop the abuses on pre-existing conditions. Let's hear their plan and their proof they can...

If John Boehner isn't enough, now you've got Mitch crying on the floor because his aide is leaving him!

RCP Poll Average: Pres. Obama Approval Rating

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I think if the economy continues to improve, so will Obama's numbers. Meanwhile, the public still puts the blame on the debacle where it should:
