[Translate] Wow! How about the incredible infomercial David Letterman gave President Obama, last night? The Late Show With David Letterman stretched from 11:30 EST to 12:37 EST, running a full seven minutes over time for The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson. Unfortunately, this CBS posting is not the full interview, and it does a dis-service to the President....
[Translate] President Obama On Reddit President Barack Obama, as this is being written, is participating in what’s called an “Ask me anything,” chat via Reddit, the Internet link forum that calls itself “The Front Page Of The Internet.” And the result is a heavily overloaded Reddit. This is so because the note “reddit is under...
[Translate] President Barack Obama has his largest lead in the race for re-election versus Republican Challenger Mitt Romney. According to Bloomberg, American President Obama leads by 13 points, 53 percent to 40 percent over former Governor Romney – the primary reason: Romney is seen as “out of touch” with voters. Obama gets low marks for his handling of the Economy (which also means the poll failed to take into account Republican opposition to policies that would have improved the economy) but gets high marks...
[Translate] While the GOP tries to figure out which fat cat will be served up to President Barack Obama this fall, Obama himself is continuing to enjoy approval and unemployment rates that have taken on a “Reagan trajectory.” This space reported that last fall, Obama’s approval rating was higher than that for both President Reagan and President Clinton at similar periods of time. Now, Obama’s position in the polls has improved with employment reports. The most recent news has the U.S. unemployment rate...
[Translate] James Carville needs to pipe down: President Obama’s average approval rating is currently at just over 51 percent, and higher than the average first-term approval ratings for both President William J. Clinton, and President Ronald Reagan. According to Zennie62.com and Gallop data, the approval ratings for Clinton and Reagan were 49.3 and 50.3 respectively. It’s important to remember that both presidents Clinton and Reagan faced economic challenges during their first terms. Reagan had it worse than President...
[Translate] The GOP majority in the MN state legislature invited controversial “Reverend” Bradlee Dean, who advocates the killing and or incarceration of gays, to make the opening “prayer” for today’s session. Dressed in a track-suit, Dean used the time to question the religious affiliation of U.S. President Barack Obama. Bradlee Dean, opening 20 May 2011 MN Legislative session at invitation of GOP Editor, journalist, entrepreneur, political consultant, photographer, and former Congressional Campaign...
[Translate] It was amazing to many to learn recently that it was one Senator, Alabama’s Richard Shelby, on a quest for a massive earmark for his home state, that was able to suspend all progress in filling key leadership roles in many government agencies. No wonder some in the GOP lament government effectiveness as unattainable: their own party is preventing many key agencies from having leaders. Americans were stunned to learn that the objections weren’t based on qualifications, or even philosophical differences, but...

Just plain tired of em. You know who they are – or maybe they’re you. People who are really upset that America elected Barack Obama, a black man, as president but since they feel they can’t say so without the anonymity of the Internet, they craft other means of expressing their anger, like hanging...
[Translate] It’s small businesses that will put people back to work; that’s how we’re going to get this country back on its feet. It’s entrepreneurs and small business owners who respond with enthusiasm that are key. Big, established, “trusted” companies dug this hole by defining success in terms of short-term profits on their bottom line that do little if anything to protect American jobs or the well-being of their employees. When we see bulldozers and excavators moving dirt for new construction, when we see trucks...
[Translate] More at The White House – Press Office: “In keeping with my commitment to make our government more open and transparent, this budget is an honest accounting of where we are and where we intend to go. For too long, our budget has not told the whole truth about how precious tax dollars are spent. Large sums have been left off the books, including the true cost of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. And that kind of dishonest accounting is not how you run your family budgets at home; it’s not how your government...
[Translate] The U.S. economy continues to reverberate from the policies (or perhaps lack of policies) that the Bush-Cheney administration championed since taking office 8 years ago, and by most accounts we’ve now lost over 3.5 million jobs during the recession that they bestowed upon the tax-payers and future tax-payers. 600,000 Americans have been laid off in January alone. The mortgage foreclosures continue unabated, the unemployment rate is soaring, yet now that Bush is out of office certain members of the U.S. Senate and...
