Obama is smooth...

Author and blogger Glenn Greenwald puts it perfectly: "The President is not Our Father; he’s a politician who, like all people wielding political power, is in great need of constant critical scrutiny and adversarial checks — from all citizens, but especially media figures. Relating to him as some kind of guiding paternalistic authority is, I’m sorry to say, really quite warped. But it’s far from uncommon, and that explains a lot."

Another interesting quote from economist Paul Krugman: "... by the way, the idea of Obama as somebody who governs from the left.... I mean, Obama’s positions are those of a moderate Republican circa 1992. He’s not a leftist. What’s happening now is you have a radical-right Republic Party."

The Dems do not, contrary to leftist belief, serve the interests of ordinary Americans: small business owners, carpenters, electricians, teachers.... I mean, it's time to wake up and smell the cappuccino -- ha, ha!

White House visitor logs provide window into lobbying industry:

You children got hood-winked by the liberal press failing to properly vett the least prepared and least qualified candidate in modern times.

The business of America is business. No one close to "his narcissist" has ever been exposed to making a living except through big government.

The unions will go down this week in Wisconsin and again in November.
