Thanks Kevin for your thorough coverage of these issues in a very timely manner. I’m very grateful that FiredogLake is posting your reports. You’re quickly nearing the top of my favorite reporter/blogger list, along with Glenn Greenwald.
To illustrate how protective of Obama the Democratic party has become, after posting ONE mildly critical comment of Obama at DemocraticUnderground.com I was blocked from further submissions, and the “offending” comment was scrubbed from view.

My point being, the Democratic Party would have (hopefully) opposed a Republican president who’s supporting the s#!t Obama is/does. I’m past voting for someone, or a Party, that is somewhat/slightly better than the worst we could have.

Arrrgh! We’re f’d!
Here’s the link to the Black Agenda Report, where I learned why/how Obama is “the more effective evil, and a funny bumpersticker graphic saying “CAUTION, this president makes wide right-turns” Haha

Obama was supposed to be “the lesser evil”. Instead, he’s demonstrated how to be “the more-effective evil”. He gets away with implementing more neo-con policies than a Republican would have, because he somehow got labelled (and sold as) “progressive” by the party loyalists who would rather trash/abandon traditional D-Party principles than admit that they’re backing a smooth-talking fraud.

Heh heh…. a well-placed “Spinal Tap” reference. Good one.

The funny thing about Dana Priest saying this in the company of Bill Bennett “… I mean, some people would like to make casino gambling a crime, but it is not a crime” is that he, who had written “The Book of Virtues” in which he argues for self-discipline, had been exposed as an habitual Vegas casino gambler who’d lost million$. Awkward!

And Mara Liasson, who is a Fox News pundit, is obviously taken aback by someone (Tapper) actually speaking “truth to power.” She’d much rather rollover and lick the hand that feeds her.

“If these economic trends keep up, Obama’s job approval number should break 50 percent and he will be in good shape come November.”

Obama should be glad that Democrats, and Americans in general, only care about how their individual economy is faring at election time. Any concerns about drone strikes, indefinite detention, Guantanamo, Bradley Manning, demonizing Wikileaks, cracking-down on med-marijuana, extending Bush’s tax-cuts, whistle-blower harassment, no accountability for Wall Street, saying that he is “in lock-step with Israel” regarding Iran, etc, don’t much enter the equation, given that his his “progressive” base is “in lock-step” with his leadership.

This will surely encourage creative (and far-out) interpretations of the anthem; well-recorded and documented, so that when charged with the offense, it will be on YouTube for all to enjoy.

The twentyfive buck$? Totally worth it!

The first “black” president sure acts, and sounds, like a WASP corporate warpig.

Black Thunder (campaign 2008) has readily & steadily become comfortable exhibiting his true self as, White Chocolate. F’n Poseur!

“People Feeling More Confident About the Economy and Obama”

Damn! Did I end up at Obama For America 2012, again? If not, they should post this rosey spin over there too. I haven’t run into anyone who is feeling better/more confident/more trusting/or more “hope”ful for Obama’s re-election than the paid spinmasters from the Democratic Party.

“If the American people’s economic confidence continues to follow the upward trend it has been on for the past several months, Obama will be in strong shape come November.” I am SO looking forward to four more years of the progressive policies of this true champion of THE PEOPLE. (uaagh..Barf…)

Very good job kid, I mean Kevin. I heard this on the radio at work. You bring the relevant points to bear, making it easier for someone who’s not totally up to speed to get the bigger picture and some finer points too. Thanks!

So sudden. I didn’t even know he was ill, Kim Jong.

From the last paragraph; “President Obama wisely tried to dodge the question of where unemployment would be at the time of his re-election…”

That’s funny….”at the time of his RE-election”.

I think an uncounted/unreported voter demographic is those more reasonable Republicans who realize and appreciate the many areas where Obama has promoted & furthered their basic social/political principles.
Were I a Republican at heart, I’d vote for the well-spoken corporate-cocksucker.

The first sentence is quoted from the article here/above. The second sentence is a question which I don’t know the answer. Was hoping someone here would have answer.

“The studies find that 93% of all those dealt with by Secure Communities are Latinos, despite being only 2/3 of all immigrants.”
Not really a surprising statistic if you’re not distinguishing between legal and illegal immigrants. What percent of all illegal immigrants are Latino?

“Today, in a joint press conference…” the four United States attorneys smoked a joint(duh!) and issued a cease & desist order against Eric Holder and Baralph Obama.

Speaking of whores….Making fun of Nader almost makes it possible to support (or at least vote for) a corporate crusader war-whore like Obama.

“So yes, a Republican can beat Obama. Can we move on now?”
Yes We Can move on without corporate c*@ksucker FauxBama. He’s performed his role near flawlessly. The only difference in having a Republican (with a capital R) as president is that They didn’t lie about what they intend to do. The end result will be the same, down to having Rick Warren speak at the inauguration. Ha!
