Olbermann Reads the Riot Act to Obama
Not much of an Olbermann fan these days, but he nailed this one.
Here's an article at The American Prospect, Why Democrats Are Deserting Obama. Here are the opening paragraphs:
I still believe Barack Obama is probably a decent man, and I agree with the majority of his political opinions. However, I agree much less with his political actions. He might be the smartest wonk to occupy the Oval Office in decades, but he has no political savvy. On the big issues he almost always blinks first. He never calls the Republicans' bluffs. Let's be frank: he's been at the helm for 2 years now, and his leadership has been weak. And just in the last 24 hours he has caved AGAIN, this time on the Israeli settlement issue. So if he's still wondering why so many Democrats are pissed off at him right now, it's because we have every right to be pissed off. EVERY right.

Obama vs. Obama on Afghanistan
The common denominator for US Politicians is that they don't have to fight the wars which they send others to wage for them.
War is tough. It sure is, from that nice comfy chair in the Oval Office.
Pilot in fighter jet ejects SECONDS before crash in Canada
This looks to be an older f-18, not the super hornet. It is hard to tell, the main difference is easy to spot normally as the old school hornet has oval intakes, where as the super hornet has rectangle ones. It is possible the aircraft become unstable when the operator was trying to bank while under speed. However, that isn't the only explanation as there could of been bad wind sheer, flame out (hard to say, right when it is going down I hear 2 pops, but that could be the rockets from the ejection seats), or some type of failure on the plane itself. It shouldn't be an albatross until the investigation is in. There is a very small window for error when flying at those speeds at that altitude. It is as close to the razors edge you get pulling [combat] maneuvers at low speed and altitude.
Stewart Nails GOP For Flip Flopping On Escrow Fund
I mean seriously, you literally snipped out the phrase "I'm sure there will be congressional oversight", and cut off the part where I said why I thought that
Sure. You said it, but have no proof it will happen so why belabor it? As with all piles of money in Washington, that 20 billion will get misappropriated and spent on unrelated crap with only token pennies on the dollar going to BP oil damages. Every citizen must view government as the ENEMY, because history proves that eventually it will be.
I know that leftists disagree with that stance... This poll proves only Democrat zombies are big gummint fanbois... Most other folks have a healthier point of view.

There's part of your fever dream I agree with -- namely, the rich and the powerful never get held accountable for anything.
Agreed. Guys like Barney Frank should be penniless street bums in the stocks at town square instead of still being in charge of the committee he used to screw up the economy.
Free speech zones, dissent = sedition, opposition = traitors, with us or against us…
I am not a slave to a political ideology. I don’t apologize for people when they do the wrong things. So I I freely and openly condemn(ed) the tactics the GOP used during Bush to stifle dissent. Will you do the same? Do you condemn people like Pelosi, Reed, Obama, Olbermann, Madcow, and all the others on the left who routinely mock, belittle, and censor Tea Partiers, call people “Nazis”, and the “party of No” for no reason but to grease the skids of their agenda? Thankfully, I am not bound with such fetters. Boo - hiss to 'free speech zones' no matter what party is behind them.
We need the Fairness Doctrine, badly. The rightwing dominance of the media has had a disastrous effect on our country's welfare. Rupert Murdoch has done incalculable harm, just to make a buck.
No – we don’t need any government regulation of media. The marketplace of ideas is a grand collision – and viewpoints of all kinds are available everywhere without government interference. The Right may dominate talk radio, but the left dominates most other media with an iron fist. Hollywood, CNN, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, the NYT, AP, PBS, tv shows, pop music, and the vast majority of news channels, newspapers, and internet blogs either tilt left or are outright left wing extremists.
So does your opinion of the “Fairness Doctrine” include forcing all these left wing radicals to give conservative views ‘equal time’ in all media venues? Or do you only care about talk radio because it says things you don't like sometimes? See how your support of such a concept leads only to tyranny and abuse? The whole FD concept is an attempt by neolibs to break down one of the few areas where they don't dominate. Rather than cheer it on, it should totally creep you out and outrage you.
You righties always get your panties in a wad when you can't insult broad swaths of the population with derogatory racial and sexist remarks.
No – we get annoyed when sanctimonious lefties use political correctness to stifle dissent. I don’t insult minorities or make racist/sexist comments. And yet here you are, accusing me personally of being a racist and a sexist based on no evidence. Funny how you are using Political Correctness to stifle dissent, isn’t it? Gee – it’s almost like I was EXACTLY RIGHT! Thanks for proving my point. Sadly you aren't alone. This kind of crap is commonplace from the left on campuses, in public schools, on news, in the media, in entertainment, and in politics. Ried, Pelosi, and more commentators I can count have all used the same tactic. Shame on you all.
BP committed a crime, the kind of crime that they could (and probably will) try to weasel out of with legalities.
If they commit a crime, you take them to court. You don’t have the Executive Branch create a private slush fund. If they violated the law, then punish them with the law. Don’t make up crap from the Oval Office.

Rachel Gives the Oval Office Address Obama Should Have
But... wouldn't she need that senate seat in 2012 as a launchpad to the 2016 presidency?! On the other hand, she could run against him in the republican primary for 2012 and sidestep the original accusation. That'd totally work.>> ^NetRunner:

Nah, because Scott Brown was saying she was going to directly challenge him for Senate in 2012.

Keith Olbermann Pans Obama's Oval Office Address

The people need to educate themselves about what really matters,
Yep.
Keith Olbermann Pans Obama's Oval Office Address

>> ^rougy:
There is little correlation between what Obama says and what Obama does.
It's not even that, so much as what Candidate Obama said pre-2008 vs. what President Obama says now.
That's what's grating on me at this point. I expected him to be merely center-left in policy, but I figured he'd at least make an eloquent case for progressive ideals on a regular basis.
Instead, he seems to want to avoid any and all political or ideological confrontation.
We don't need unity, we need for the left to beat the right so thoroughly they can't win an election for dog-catcher until they tilt way back to the left themselves.
You mean campaign promises, and actually keeping them?
Huh, seems like we've been down that road. The big ones for me are Extraordinary Rendition, and Habeus Corpus. Demoralized Idealist. Same shit, different day. The people need to educate themselves about what really matters, false wars, bailouts, Military Industrial Complex, Militarization of the Police, Prohibition, Equal Rights for all types of sexuality, and lastly this idea that Transparency is good in speeches but in practice it's a dangerous thing.
