Well, now: Anita Dunn’s bully lawyer hubby takes over as White House general counsel

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 12, 2009 11:27 PM

The thug politics power couple of Anita “A Pox on Fox” Dunn and Bob “The Silencer” Bauer isn’t going anywhere. I said it earlier this week and on Fox News early Thursday morning (vid here).
Now comes word late tonight that Bauer is indeed — as has been rumored for nearly a month via Glenn Beck [...]

Don’t get excited: Anita Dunn is not being thrown under the bus

A month ago, White House interim communications director Anita Dunn stepped into the role of lead Fox News-basher.
She’s handing the reins over to her young protégé and fellow Tom Daschle flack, Dan Pfeiffer.
Dunn never planned to stay in [...]

The fall of the Berlin Wall

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 9, 2009 10:10 AM

President Obama isn’t traveling abroad to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall 20 years ago today.
Of course not. There’s nothing in it for his Chicago cronies.
Also: There’s nothing for America to apologize for there today.
Guess which U.S. celebrity is in Germany to mark the anniversary? David Haselhoff.
When David Haselhoff is doing a better job [...]

All the president’s hacks

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 5, 2009 10:37 AM

Personnel is policy.
Obama’s policy is the Perpetual Campaign.
Which is why he has surrounded himself with nothing but campaign goons.
Dan Gerstein has an excellent column on all the president’s hacks:
The president’s top advisers are not just overly political, they are almost totally political. Indeed, this West Wing is stacked with “hacks”–campaign professionals who are acculturated to [...]

Mmm, mmm, mmm

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 4, 2009 09:00 AM

Glenn Reynolds says the “Obama magic has faded.”
The glow is gone.
The swagga has sagged.
Indeed:
In fact, the elections underscored Obama’s political weakness just one year after his triumphant victory over Republican moderate John McCain.
The Obama invincibility that was so much in evidence then seems to have lost its power. People can argue the reasons why [...]

Ballot Watch: Waiting for the results that everyone tells us mean nothing; Update: GOP sweep in Va.; voting machine glitches in NY-23; Obama says he’s not watching; Update: GOP gov wins in NJ/Va; Update: Hoffman concedes

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 3, 2009 07:05 PM

Guess it’ll be an early night for all the Democrat water-carriers in the media who have already filed their preemptive pieces downplaying whatever happens tonight after the polls close and the ballots are counting.
Here’s a bit of the Obama-as-a-factor-but-not-as-much-as-we-want-you-to-think analysis of exit poll results.

Anita Dunn: A corruptocrat flack and a Mao cheerleader

Earlier this week, I spotlighted White House interim communications director and chief Fox-basher Anita Dunn’s career-long commitment to flacking for one of the Beltway’s most entrenched and crooked creatures, Tom Daschle.
I also noted that Dunn is married to Obama [...]

Gag: Obama credited with making interracial marriage acceptable

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 15, 2009 01:53 PM

Oh, spare me. Please:
There’s nothing more traditional in American politics than the wholesome family portrait: a beaming candidate, beaming spouse, reluctantly beaming teenagers.
But when Bill de Blasio, a candidate for public office in New York City this fall, put his family in his campaign mailings and TV ads, there was nothing routine about it. De [...]

Magazine industry rewards Obama cult worship

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 15, 2009 09:42 AM

Every year, the Magazine Publishers of America rewards the creative talents who design covers for leading publications.
There are awards for sports covers, lifestyle covers, celebrity covers, science covers, and news covers.
This year, the MPA created a special new category:
BEST OBAMA MAGAZINE COVER.
The winner? Obama cultist Jan Wenner’s Rolling Stone:

Here’s what the judges said about the [...]

Wealth redistributor-in-chief: Hey, let’s spread around another $13 billion!

You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me:
President Obama on Wednesday attempted to preempt the announcement that Social Security recipients will not get an increase in their benefit checks for the first time in three decades, encouraging Congress to provide a one-time payment of $250 to help seniors and disabled Americans weather the recession.
“One-time payment” [...]

And now, Barack Obama is afraid of…San Francisco?

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 14, 2009 03:18 PM

Last night, it was Michelle Obama shunning the hostile and dangerous territory of South Carolina.
Today, Bookworm Room notes this San Francisco Chronicle column item reporting that President Obama is hiding from the leftists in San Francisco:
The White House’s fear of protests from Code Pink and other left-wingers has put the brakes on President Obama making [...]

DNC humor czar condemns Nobel Prize jokes

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 9, 2009 01:16 PM

The Twitter hashtag of the day is #nobelol (started by Andy Levy) — for Twitter users from the left, right, and center laughing out loud at Barack Obama’s receipt of a Nobel Peace Prize he himself says he doesn’t deserve.
There’s already a bumper sticker via College Politico:

The worldwide derision has a Democratic National Committee flack [...]

What should Obama do with the Nobel prize money?

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 9, 2009 12:28 PM

The president will receive $1.4 million from the Nobel Peace Prize Committee for not achieving anything concrete.
He will receive $1.4 million for an award he himself says he doesn’t deserve.
What should he do with the cash?
The field is all yours.

Do the Watusi: Art, imitation, and the Obamas

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 8, 2009 05:49 PM

Yesterday, we chuckled over the indecision-themed “word art” that the Obamas chose to hang in the White House.
Today, a Free Republic poster notices another of the Obamas’ curious art choices: “Watusi (Hard Edge),” by Alma Thomas, who is described by the NYTimes as “a longtime Washington resident who is an African-American painter.”
Alma Thomas’s “Watusi” (1963) [...]

An unusual sign has appeared along Interstate 70 in Blue Springs.
If you are traveling in the eastbound lanes of the freeway between Adams Dairy Parkway and the Grain Valley exit you will see a sign that appears to be anti-President Barack Obama.
The sign features the [...]

Obamacare: The primetime pitch

By Doug Powers  •  September 9, 2009 07:58 PM

Five minutes to speech time… my first mistake was turning on MSNBC to start off with. According to Keith Olbermann, who’s always grimacing as if he just got a colonoscopy with a rose bush, we have what amounts to a third world health care system that can only be saved by a government that has [...]

Obama speech tailgate party & BOHICA prep

By Doug Powers  •  September 9, 2009 04:24 PM

Shortly before Obama begins reading the teleprompter to Congress about how vitally important is for all of us to have immediate access to affordable health care… in 2013… just after the next presidential election (otherwise known as “Blame Bush, year 5″), I’ll put up a new post and live-blog the speech a bit, so join [...]

Middle Class Task Force report on college affordability warns about dangers of… equal opportunity

By Doug Powers  •  September 9, 2009 02:39 PM

Huh? Yeah, that’s what I thought — at first — then I remembered who we’re dealing with.
This afternoon, the White House posted a piece on their blog called “Saving and Paying for College.” This is part IV of the Obama admin’s “back to school” series, featuring Nickelodeon’s “Gimme gimme gimme” initiative, yesterday’s pep talk [...]
