Has Someone Photoshopped In Cheney Wearing A Vader Costume Yet?
Posted on September 17, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Barack Obama, Star Wars | Leave a Comment
This has to be one of my favorite pictures of all time.
As of right now, I’m finally taking down that photo of McCain lurching like a dinosaur during the presidential debate from my desktop wallpaper and replacing it with Jedi Master Obama.

And This Applies To Whom, Exactly?
Posted on June 23, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Barack Obama, health care, the media | Leave a Comment
Apparently, it’s a big deal that President Obama is walking back from his pledge that the health care reforms he signs into law will not force anyone to lose their existing coverage if they prefer that coverage to whatever might be created by the reforms. Now, I’m not going to say that the president should [...]
Obama At Buchenwald
Posted on June 5, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Barack Obama, Dick Cheney, Elie Wiesel, Holocaust | Leave a Comment
I can’t seem to find anything articulate to say here (although I’m obviously pleased to see the president pay his respects). I do have three brief and somewhat silly (in comparison to the gravity of where Obama was) thoughts:
1) For reasons I can’t quite explain, I really like that Elie Wiesel quoted The Plage in [...]
The Cairo Speech
Posted on June 4, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Barack Obama, diplomacy | Leave a Comment
President Obama’s Cairo speech reminds me of nothing so much as the speech he delivered in Philadelphia one year ago on the topic of race. This is the Barack Obama I deeply admire; this is the Barack Obama I was eager and proud to vote for. This is the president who believes in the power [...]
History In The Making
Posted on May 26, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Barack Obama, Doonesbury, comic strips | Leave a Comment
I’m sure this will be little remarked upon by the liberal mainstream media, but yesterday was an important day for the vast number of Americans who place equal value upon our comic strips and our politics: President Obama got his first “Talking White House” strip in Doonesbury. The tradition of the Talking White House dates [...]
A Good Influence
Posted on April 30, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Andrew Sullivan, Barack Obama, torture | Leave a Comment
I may have written this before, but I’ll repeat myself all the same: Say what you will about some of his other views, but Andrew Sullivan has been consistently and emphatically right about torture.
The new part: I sincerely hope that the president really is reading and being influenced by what Sullivan has to say on [...]
Another Reason I Like This President

He has a knack for making me feel like I’m really doing my part for my country. A few months ago he asked every American to consider going back to school in whatever form they could afford, and I had just recently submitted my applications for graduate school. Now he wants us to wash our [...]
Brackets I Can Believe In

Maybe the president is playing politics with his NCAA picks. I don’t care; the important thing is that he picked Maryland to win its first round game against Cal this afternoon. With Obama’s support, I think we’ve got a real chance.

A Note To The President

Mr. President,
I and thousands of other District residents supported you strongly throughout the presidential election. Do us a favor and put our license plates on your car. It won’t cost you anything, and we will appreciate it.

That’s Change We Can Believe In

President Obama has signed his first law, and it’s The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act.
He’s Undeniably Right, By The Way
Posted on January 28, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Barack Obama, DC | Leave a Comment
Holy crap, the president is actually paying attention to what’s happening in Washington, DC, outside of his own house. I’ll never get over how cool it is to have a president who seems to notice us, let alone care about us.

Secret Muslims Hate Formal Wear

Taegan Goddard:
A photo of President Obama in the Oval Office this morning is especially interesting because it’s clear he’s instituted a new dress code: The new president is not wearing a suit jacket.
It was a rule during the Bush administration that no one ever enter the Oval Office without a jacket.
Oh noes! How can President [...]
Speechless

Woodrow Wilson’s New Freedom promised our nation a new political and economic framework. Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal promised security and succor to those in need. But the New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises. It is a set of challenges.
It sums up not what I intend to offer to the [...]

Obama On Statehood
Posted on January 6, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Barack Obama, DC enfranchisement | 3 Comments
In response to the comments below, I did some very quick searching and found a December article from Mother Jones that I can’t believe I missed earlier. As it turns out, while no one expects him to expend much political capital on the issue, our president-elect is not a supporter merely of representation for the [...]

“[L]ong planned family vacation in Africa,” or excuse for meeting with the Kenyan Muslims who will soon be painting America red1 through their pawn the Obamamessiah?
Alert Real Americans know the truth.

When discussing the president-elect’s hot chest and the appropriateness thereof, it’s probably worth remembering that John Quincy Adams used to go skinny dipping in the Potomac every morning.

Americans Want The New President To Be In Charge Already

Joe at AMERICAblog flags a new CNN poll which shows Barack Obama’s approval rating at 79%, 51 points higher than President Douchebag’s rating. As I’ve noted before, getting 80% of Americans to agree on anything is incredibly difficult, so this is an impressive number insofar as a pre-inauguration approval rating means anything. The CNN article [...]

Barack Obama took a question from FOX News! He totally lied to us about being a socialIslamoMarxifascist. I hate this moderation bullshit. Why can’t we have a real liberal in the White House?

Barack Obama Stops Cheating At Press Conferences
Posted on November 25, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under Barack Obama, the media | Leave a Comment
It might be fish-in-a-barrel, but since I mocked the original article, I feel as though I’m obligated to mock the equally asinine follow-up.
When President-elect Barack Obama meets the press Wednesday morning for his third news conference in as many days, it’s anyone’s guess which reporters he’ll call on.
Literally.
OMG!!! Barack Obama is not planning his selection [...]
