So I was lying in bed this morning eating a family-sized bag of Funyuns and thinking that America’s children are not nearly obese enough yet when I saw this Washington Post story about the Trump administration undermining Michelle Obama’s signature achievement … on her birthday. And it
No, Michelle Obama is not running for president, or any other office. But her husband thinks that in general it wouldn’t be a bad idea. From the BBC: Barack Obama: Women are better leaders than men. If women ran every country in the world there
Remember the photo below? Pete Souza, President Obama’s official White House photographer, took this picture during the raid that got Bin Laden, the one that Trump dismissed, saying that all Obama had to to was say “OK.” Well, in Souza’s photo, Obama and his team
My lord. Donald Trump would have made Sigmund Freud shart his brains down his breeches. Yes, this was a … slip, of the Freudian variety. But, man, what a slip! And it arrives so soon after a Scottish fen full of “Obama could have been
The little man just can’t stand the idea of another president making money. In this case, a former president. Ever since the black man had the temerity to get himself elected president in Fred Trump’s America, Donald Trump has had it in for him. You
The dumbest argument that I heard in the last Democratic Debate was the notion (and attack on Joe Biden) that fmr. President Obama should have reduced the number of deportations. As the NYT summarized: Other Democrats, siding with Mr. Castro, joined in piling on Mr.
Should we all send Trump copies of the DSM-V with the relevant excerpts underlined? Who has a couple of weekends to spare? I mean, seriously. What will it take for Republicans to have him committed? Will it finally be enough when he gives the Queen one
With apologies to this wonderful website, this is clearly the most robust endorsement Nancy Pelosi has received thus far. And I have to agree with President Obama. To me, the arguments about finding new, younger leadership make as much sense as benching Tom Brady for
George Conway is not a fan of his wife’s boss. While Kellyanne Conway spends her life trying to sculpt Brobdingnagian piles of monkey shit into Michelangelo’s David, her husband is doing his best to undo her handiwork. The latest: He’s taken Trump to task for criticizing President
Or maybe he was still pissed about that tan suit. I really can’t figure out what these people are saying anymore. It’s like I’m on acid and they’re all off their meds. From Newsweek: A former CIA contractor threatened former President Barack Obama during a television interview
From Crooks and Liars, Jeet Heer of The New Republic rips into the political establishment which McCain was a party to that HELPED produce Trump. There is a link to Heer’s Tweets on McCain’s funeral. Now, fair warning, Obama gets criticsm too. WTF? How can
Over 4 million Obama voters from 2012 did not vote in the 2016 Election. 2016 was an election cycle in which Trump’s margin of victory was one of the narrowest in U.S. history. It came down to about 78,000 votes in three states, including Michigan,
Seeing all these posts in enthusiastic support of Obama receiving $400,000 in exchange for a speech for Wall Street Bankers got me thinking. He has every right to give the speech and to be paid every dollar he’s earned for doing so. In truth, were
Just wanted to be sure we’re all clear about that.
Years after President Obama promised to close that hell hole, the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have begun a hunger strike, and it seems that it didn't start just recently. Some have lost “30 pounds or more” according to one lawyer who represents 15 of
It seems that if the rest of the civilized world (or, at least most of it) could vote in the upcoming American presidential election, they would vote for Barack Obama by a count of 50% for Obama to 9% for Romney. No shit. In a
As the nation marks the end of the four-year term of Barack Obama’s ascendance to the presidency, (or the beginning of a new term), we will once again be subjected to endless discussion about the significance of the nation’s first non-white president. For many African-Americans,
Oh, this is the PLACE, folks! This is the YouTube SOURCE for watching the ads that Obama's SuperPAC – PrioritiesUSAaction – produces and put onto TVs all over the nation. You can watch them all. You can subscribe to the channel and get the new
I know that many in the community here, and rightly so, are ready to move past emotionally cathartic posts about their feelings on the election. Yet I wanted to type out my little story here for myself if for no one else. A little of
