prescient politico headline
“Obama Ruling Could Prove Moot, Backfire”
The article makes it clear that Obama (and surrogates) never promised that he would use public funds in the general election. Their promise was to return funds exceeding the limit if both candidates accepted public financing. Different promise. I’m sick of reading all sorts of claims that Obama lied or [...]
wsj ed page oddness
Honestly I haven’t read enough of the WSJ’s editorial page to pass judgment, but this article definitely doesn’t fit the picture that had been painted for me by others. It’s a happy dissonance for me, though I do have to say that the headline is really misleading. The casual observer will not take away the [...]

standing up for Obama and his home church.
Part of me thinks this is flamebait, but even if that’s the case, I feel I can’t ignore it. This guy is a fellow TriLUG member.
The post linked to above essentially makes the argument that Obama is a segregationist (earlier posts on that blog have called him a racist) because his home church has a [...]
dynastic politics
A coworker just said, “There’s been a Bush or a Clinton in the White House my entire life,” and it took me a moment to remember that H.W. Bush was VP when I was born. Suddenly I have a fresh understanding of my own support for Obama.
