JUST when we thought the socialism accusations against the Obama administration were subsiding, the president reignites the debate. Speaking in Illinois about his vision to reform Wall Street excess, President Barack Obama said: "I do think at a certain point you've made enough money. But part of the American way is you can keep on making it if you're providing a good product or ... service.
It is one of the true delights of a bizarrely entertaining Republican presidential contest to watch the apoplectic fear and loathing of so many GOP establishmentarians toward Newt Gingrich. They treat him as an alien body whose approach to politics they have always rejected. In fact, Gingrich's rise is the revenge of a Republican base that takes seriously the intense hostility to President Obama, the incendiary accusations against liberals and the Manichaean division of the world between an "us" and a "them" that his party has been peddling in the interest of electoral success.

Obama fights back Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois yesterday pushed back against accusations that his oft-repeated opposition to the Iraq war was not borne out by his Senate record.
One would think that after Barack Obama's astonishing victory for the presidency, Republicans would take the lead of John McCain and President Bush and be gracious, accept defeat and go about rebuilding a party left in shambles. Instead, the vitriol, divisiveness, meanness and accusations only get more intensified by right-wing talk show hosts against Obama and the Democrats. If anything this election has proven, as I've stated in the past, it's that regressive talk-show pundits -- such as Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage and all the rest -- are totally ineffective in convincing the majority of Americans that their form of conservatism is worth advancing. In fact, Limbaugh ranted and raved against Clinton during his re-election and was just as ineffective.

IF you want a handle on what ails the Obama administration, try thinking about it as the "scripted" presidency. President Barack Obama has been very good at following his blueprint -- he has passed health care and much of the legislative agenda he campaigned on, as his supporters rightly stress. But, he has been less successful at responding to the free-for-all of events that is part of governing. For a genuine political animal, such as Presidents Lyndon Johnson or Bill Clinton, it's unplanned events that make the job exciting, because they plunge the president into the maw of politics. By contrast, Obama and his advisers seem to avoid these moments if possible, and when the unexpected happens, as in the BP oil spill or the phony accusations against Shirley Sherrod, they often handle th...
CHICAGO - Days into deliberations at former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's first corruption trial last August, a juror looked around the tense room, pointed to a spot in the corner and suggested they put a Christmas tree there. At the rate they were going, he joked, they could find themselves still deliberating in December. Humor was one of the keys to jurors' survival through 11 weeks of testimony and 14 days of sometimes contentious deliberations in Blagojevich's first corruption trial that ended with them deadlocked on all but one of 24 counts.

Facing accusations from Republicans that he's not tough enough with China over its currency and trade practices, President Obama said Tuesday he is taking a complaint against Beijing to the World Trade Organization "to give American workers and businesses a fair shot in the global economy. The administration wants the WTO to pressure China to end what it says is unjustified export restrictions on raw materials critical to the manufacture of flat-screen televisions, cellphone batteries and other high-tech goods.
Long before these recent allegations, the attacks on Gov. [David Paterson] were relentless and unfounded. The same kind of attacks of "incompetence," lacks "leadership ability," "inexperienced," "unprepared," to name a few, were brought against President Barack Obama, Mayor David Dinkins and now Gov. Paterson. What these three men have in common is that they are Black and held executive positions in a white maledominated racist society. Don't be fooled, race still matters! Now, let us hurry up before someone charges me with playing the race card. If that is so, then I got the card from America's racist deck. In 1872, P.B.S. [Pinchback], a newly freed Black man, became lieutenant governor of the state of Louisiana. The white male governor of Louisiana, Henry Clay Warmoth, was removed fro...
