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

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

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 15, 2009 07:53 PM

President Obama with Anita Dunn, David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel, and Robert Gibbs (via White House Flickr stream)
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!

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 14, 2009 11:20 PM

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) [...]

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 [...]

Why parents don’t trust the Educator-in-Chief and his comrades

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 4, 2009 10:00 AM

My column takes another swing at all the president’s radical education men. For more background on Commie Michael Klonsky, see Andrew McCarthy’s report from last October here. I mentioned some of the activists in the White House Teaching Fellowship program here. Don’t forget your Hall Pass on That. The guys at The Nose on Your [...]

Whitewashing the Obama education speech guides

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 2, 2009 08:40 PM

Well, well, well.
The White House has re-written its activist talking points for teachers/administrators disseminated by the US Department of Education and removed the language about “helping the president.”
Whitewashing: It’s the Obama way.
What they can’t whitewash is the radicalism of many of the White House Teaching Fellows responsible for drafting the material — or the radicalism [...]

Cash for Chicago Cronies: Federal Census grant $ for radical Woods Fund

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 2, 2009 03:56 PM

Andrew Marcus at Founding Bloggers points out that federal slush fund money is going to Barack Obama’s old pals at the Woods Fund in Chicago:
Illinois is receiving copious amounts of federal tax payer dollars to “boost awareness” for the upcoming census.
How are they planning on boosting awareness? By handing out millions of dollars to Obama-Progressive [...]

Flashback: Bill Ayers declares education “the motor-force of revolution”

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 2, 2009 10:36 AM

I thought this would be a useful refresher as President Obama’s September 8 junior lobbyist recruitment speech approaches. It’s his Chicago pal Bill Ayers’ 2006 speech at the World Economic Forum in Caracas, Venezuela.
You can separate Obama from radical Ayers’ neighborhood. But you can’t separate Ayers’ radicalism from Obama.

“All wee-weed up” and nowhere to go

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 20, 2009 07:06 PM

Is this some Chicago phrase I don’t know about?
Is it just a nonsensical scatalogical reference?
Is this the teleprompter’s fault?
Maybe it’s some sort of SEIU code phrase?
Or is it a Hawaiian thing?
Can someone clue the unwashed masses in, please?

President Obama is betting on a more successful September than August, when it comes to his [...]

Obama, Soros, Petrobras, Brazil & offshore drilling double standards

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 19, 2009 09:22 PM

Yes, it’s true.
Barack Obama has chipped in $2 billion in loans to exploit offshore oil resources in hopes of extracting a major new source of petroleum…in South America.
And yes, it’s true.
There is a Soros link.
Ed Morrissey has a round-up and notes:
Is it a coincidence that Obama backer George Soros repositioned himself in Petrobras to get [...]
