[Political Insider] Barack Obama, Kasim Reed, and the 'Don't Panic' button | Political ...: Two years later, Reed is Obama’s emissary, helping America’s first black president over the same hurdle. “We do need to acknowledge that it is more difficult for this president, because of the historical nature of his presidency, to have the kind of conversation that many in our community would like to have focused solely on African-American people,” the mayor told Chuck Todd.

[Conservative Byte] Five Reasons Obama's Speech Stunt Hurts Him | Conservative Byte: folks’ll vote for him ‘cuz he’ll give ‘em Welfare, Gubermint workers’ll vote for him ‘cuz he’ll keep their soft positions for ‘em, Unions’ll vote for him ‘cuz he’s pro-union, Lib’s'll vote for him ‘cuz he’s a Socialist, Muslim’s'll vote for him ‘cuz he’s a muslim, ACORN’ll register dead folks, cartoon characters, and sports teams, and vote for them for him, and Faciast/commie activists’ll vote for him ‘cuz he’s destroying America and they hate America!!! Republicans can’t get their sh*t together enough to work together to defeat him (remember RINO McCain?).

[Bearing Drift: Virginia's Conservative Voice] Obama 2012 Bumper Sticker - Bearing Drift: Today I saw a car with a bumper sticker that said “Obama 2012:  It’s the 21st century, not the 18th century.”  In fairness to Obama, I checked his campaign web site and did not see this bumper sticker in the campaign store, so it does not appear to be an official Obama campaign bumper sticker.  Nevertheless, from the other bumper stickers in support of Obama displayed on this car, this bumper sticker clearly was meant to be supportive of Obama and reflective of his worldview.

[Mekhong Kurt's Weblog] Submit materials for possible inclusion to: squaronians [at] gmail ...: Since your messages are limited to 140 characters - spaces, actually, since spaces do count - you can’t blab too much in any one message, and many “tweets,” as Twitter messages are so charmingly called, are mind-numbingly boring, with a capital “B”!!! (Hi, I’m eating breakfast: ½ can flat beer from last night and stale cereal 2 months old.” You get the idea.)

[Sarah Palin] Arianna Huffington: Obama One Year Later: The Audacity of Winning ...: One of the reasons Plouffe gives in the book for the campaign deciding to forgo public funding was that, as he writes, “most painfully, taking the federal funds meant losing control of our secret weapon: we would have to largely outsource our entire grassroots ground campaign to the DNC.” Which is exactly where the grassroots list —

[NO QUARTER] Want To Opt Out Of Obamacare? Try Nancy Pelosi's District **OPEN ...: Since Pelosi’s exceptions seem to be mostly restauranteurs and Cain headed the Restaurant Association and argued with Clinton that Restaurants couldn’t afford a health insurance mandate, I’d like to hear more about this argument. Actually, I’d like to hear a discussion between Cain and the guy who owns Starbucks who apparently pays health insurance for his employees.

[The blogcatalog Community Blog] Reflections On The End Times: As I sit here in a comfy chair at Starbucks, typing away on my laptop, I think it odd that my thoughts drift to visions of destruction and desolation. Odd because my imaginings entail the loss of pretty much everything I enjoy as I sit here : my iced mocha, ... The greatest story ever told – Is Obama the Anti-Christ? (trueslant.com); A History of Failed End of the World Predictions (grantlawrence.blogspot.com); Firing the First Shot in the Battle of Armageddon? (trueslant.com)

[NO QUARTER] For Barack Obama: Eight Questions [Update] : NO QUARTER: (For the record, I have also written comments in the past at TexasDarlin site directly.) My point is simply that I personally question anonymous posts and blogs because they lack a name and face behind them. As we see too much of on the Internet today anybody can post just about anything without the slightest chance of being held accountable.

[Baseball] 8/17/11 Full show — Obama Bus Tour, Lone Wolf Terrorism, Reason ...: And, Jake Diliberto and Luke Rudkowski have the word on the street as to whether Reason Magazine really is against Ron Paul. The CEO of Starbucks decides to cut off Washington from money, not caffeine and Jordan Page sits down with Adam to discuss Ron Paul running for President and debuts his new Ron Paul theme song!

[RedState] The Tragedy of Red State | RedState: Since Red State is not the Atlantic, and it holds sway with many conservatives who can’t see through its phony pretense of neutrality, I therefore felt obligated to dissect Wolf’s article and point out the simple truth: his piece makes as much sense as the foolish column at The Atlantic.
