Lauding Obama's Republican agenda, Conservatives like Palin lavish praise

19 hours ago ago from Max Eternity

Max Eternity - Who would have thought one year ago that Barack Obama would become the new hero of the Republican right? High-profile Republicans like Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin once called Obama a socialist, decrying his very presence as the downfall of America. But now with his escalation of the war and occupation of the Middle East, which many Progressives have criticized as a war on Islam, and his embrace of Bush's Patriot Act, ...

Obama Not A Left Wing Nut

19 hours ago ago from The Noisy Dove

Obama's no more of a left wing nut than Bush was a right wing nut (which he wasn't). I'm not saying he wasn't a terrible president.

If he were a socialist, I would call him a left wing nut, but he isn't. From here out, I'll use the following definitions, just to ...

First we learn that Obama and his party simply will not agree to keep their grubby government hands off the estimated $200 billion the banks are going ...

William Bradley: Obama's Lincolnesque Nobel Peace Prize

15 hours ago ago from Huffington Post

Who expected, two months ago when the surprise award was announced, that President Barack Obama, in accepting his Nobel Peace Prize, would deliver a speech that in many respects is about the ethics of war? Obama has surprised many with his escalations in Afghanistan, and in winning the Nobel Peace Prize. I was surprised by his winning the Nobel.
