Obama's "you didn't build that" speech has been nearly picked clean now. Everyone has rested their case about the context of the infamous quote. Others have criticized narrower parts of the address, such as his remarks about the internet and the Golden Gate Bridge.

I think I still spy a morsel of meat on the corpse though, and like a glutton at a ( Read more... )

I found out yesterday that I have until Monday to move to my new office.I'm still slammed, but I now have time to say a few things about Obama's Roanoke speech before the news becomes completely stale.

The reaction of the mainstream press and Obama supporters since the "you didn't build that" quote went viral has been as interesting as the quote ( Read more... )

As everyone in the world knew hours ago, Barak Obama released his Hawaiian long-form birth certificate today. The question of where he was born should be put to rest now.

I've only written about this only once before. I was somewhat sympathetic to the lawsuit bought by Philip Berg. I wondered at the time why he didn't settle the suit if he  was in ( Read more... )

Barak Obama recently made a speech in which he said that people would accuse him of socialism because he shared his toys and  peanut butter sandwiches when he was a child.
