‘This White House Has No Humility’

When candidate Obama talked about bringing us all together, this is presumably not what he had in mind . . .
There was surprising consensus on today’s Morning Joe around the fact that this is an arrogant White House.  It was press secretary Robert Gibb’s boast—responding to Pres. Bush’s rather mild recent remarks—that “we kept score [...]

Barnicle: Conservative Talk Radio To Blame For Liberal Media Bias

Rush made them do it!
In one of the more absurd, if creative, defenses of the MSM yet, Mike Barnicle has blamed the media’s liberal bias on its reaction to “talk radio.”
Morning Joe actually got off to a refreshing start today, with Mika Brzezinski frankly acknowledging that the MSM leans heavily left, that she herself tends [...]

Cairo: Obama’s Double-Fudge On Muslim Father

“I’m a Christian. But my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims.” –  Pres. Barack Obama, Cairo speech, June 4, 2009
Describing in his Cairo speech today his father’s relation to Islam, Pres. Obama pulled off the rare double-fudge, simultaneously suggesting less and more than the truth of the matter.  I think [...]

CNN’s Holmes Goes To Bat For Broadway Barack

Maybe PBO should invite T.J. to double date . . . .
In a CNN segment this morning on the Obamas’ New York night out, co-anchor T.J. Holmes went out of his way to defend the the First Couple’s Big Apple jaunt and dismiss GOP criticism as so much partisan carping.
Holmes and co-anchor Betty Nguyen covered [...]

Attempted Ford Assassin: ‘I’m Going To Go To The Obama Thing’

Planning to attend a fundraiser for the president?  Don’t think so.  Still, more than passing strange . . .
Sara Jane Moore, who in 1975 attempted to assassinate then President Gerald Ford, is out on parole after serving 32 years in prison. Asked by Matt Lauer on Today this morning what she would say [...]

NOW Prez Admits: Sotomayor ‘Very Progressive’

Don’t take a conservative’s word for it.  No less a left-wing authority than Kim Gandy of NOW has let Sonia Sotomayor’s liberal cat out of the bag . . .
Gandy today described PBO’s pick for the Supreme Court as “very progressive.” The NOW honcho was a guest on this evening’s Ed Show.  She was preceded [...]

Schieffer: Cheney’s Winning

Bob Schieffer’s first instinct was to make like a T-ball coach and give everyone a medal.  But the avuncular Face The Nation host ultimately scored Dick Cheney the winner over PBO in yesterday’s dueling national security speeches.
Schieffer made his admission on this morning’s Early Show.
HARRY SMITH: This was a debate in every possible way, except [...]

Nicolle Made Mr. 0-8 Mad

Next time you’re debating Bob Shrum and want to lure him into making ugly and over-the-top attacks, just remind the audience of his unblemished 0-8 record of having lost every presidential race on which he’s worked . . .
This morning’s Today offered a prime example of the phenomenon.  Nicolle Wallace, former Communications Director to Pres. [...]

Don’t Claim To Contessa Obama’s Weak!

Talk about standing by your man!  When a foreign policy expert explained the timing of today’s Iranian missile launch in terms of a Persian perception of Pres. Obama’s weakness, MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer leapt to PBO’s defense, throwing in an invidious comparison with Pres. Bush for good measure.
Nile Gardiner, Director of the Heritage Foundation’s Margaret Thatcher [...]

We Don’t Need Obama To Tell Us What Cars We Want

Maybe it’s my inner rebellious child, but it bugs me to be told what I want.  And if there’s someone I especially don’t want telling me that, it’s some do-gooder from the government.
So when Carol Browner made the morning show rounds today, claiming that Pres. Obama’s new, higher MPG standards are “giving Americans the cars [...]
