I wrote a post back in May asking the question will President Barack Obama create more jobs in one year than President George W. Bush created in eight? We now have an answer to that question, and it is a resounding yes. ThinkProgress: Indeed, from February 2001, Bush’s first full month in office, through January [...]

I’ve often thought of a world where sensibilities and common good would trump ego and jaded ideologies. How much more would we accomplish, and how much stronger would our nation become as a result? Can No Labels achieve this, and can they save our political discourse? Political gridlock is ingrained in everyday life in our [...]

Here’s a great piece from Essential Presence, about the true nature of President Barack Obama’s politics. The money shot: During the 2008 presidential primaries the GOP went to the usual political tactic of stirring up the base through fear as they declared Barack Obama as the most liberal Senator in Congress. It was to Obama’s [...]

Preach Sullivan: My view is that the McConnell-Biden deal – for that’s who negotiated it – is great for Obama. Why? Because it will greatly add to economic growth in the next two years, the sine qua non of survival in this economic climate; because, once the Democrats had failed to pass a budget before [...]

Why are we having this debate about expiring tax cuts? If conservatives initially wanted to keep taxes low, why would they proffer legislation–when they held the majority in congress and held the presidency–that was set to expire? Would it not be in their best interests to permanently keep tax rates low, rather than take a [...]

Math has always been fuzzy for the McConnell crowd. If we can’t afford all this spending, we can’t afford 700 billion dollars in tax cuts can we?

It’s becoming increasingly evident that some liberals are cow-towing to extreme un-Americanism, and cratering any possible chance they have to stay on top of this issue. The most sickening part of all of this is that ignorant, lazy conservatives– who’ve ratchet up the Nazi, enemy of the state rhetoric– have lost any credibility discussing matters [...]

President Obama was in my city Atlanta Monday to deliver a speech to the Disabled American Veterans. The speech detailed the end of combat missions in Iraq. What struck me most was not the speech itself–the writing has been on the walls for months regarding the cessation of hostilities in Iraq–it was the scurrying of [...]

From Jon Cohn via Bob Cesca: To be clear, sometimes ass-kicking is good. Call Kent Conrad a hypocrite on the deficit. Blast Joe Lieberman for carrying water on behalf of the insurance industry. Hold Obama accountable for the bureaucratic neglect that enabled the Gulf disaster. Liberals won’t get anywhere by meekly accepting every compromise that [...]
What the hell was Chris Matthews smoking yesterday? Matthews went out of his way to browbeat guests Joan Walsh and Howard Dean over the video clip Andrew Breitbart posted on his blog regarding the Shirley Sherrod race incident. I’m not sure Matthews even followed this case. If he had, he would know that what he [...]
