Obama lost my vote in 2012 when he decided to send an additional 34,000 troops to Afghanistan. I’m over him – he is a silver-tongued gutless marionette whose strings are being pulled by the military-industrial complex and Wall Street. Truman had the cojones to face down Gen. MacArthur over the Korean War but Obama, a [...]

This afternoon, still troubled by the resignation of Van Jones, I decided to speak to a Black co-worker friend of mine, to see what his take on the situation was. He had not been following the incident, but he was familiar with it. When I said that I was angry that a whack-job from Fox [...]

With millions of Americans suffering financial hardship now, this is all that the Bush White House can come up [...]

While taking a break from work today, I watched the TV in the lounge. Sarah Palin was on the screen, launching into a speech about Barack Obama’s association with William Ayers.
