Vetting Obama’s Political Tactics
By Dave Bego

Obama’s State of the Union Address on January 24, 2012, and his subsequent 2013 budget in which he called for new taxes on wealthy, are no more than election campaign tactics full of candy and political promises. These actions are reminiscent of Big Labor’s tactics utilized during Corporate Campaigns against employers where they make outlandish promises and disseminate misinformation to win employee support. Obama’s tactics should come as no surprise, considering his long-term SEIU ties and training. Comparing Obama’s use of misdirection and overpromising versus the misdirection and promises of Big Labor during Corporate Campaigns, it is easy to understand the current election tactics and predict those yet unseen.

The State of the GOP Race after Illinois

By John LeBoutillier

Mitt Romney’s healthy victory margin in the non-binding "beauty contest" in the Land of Lincoln needs to be affirmed by a corresponding win in the separate delegate contest.  However, as in many other GOP contests this winter, turnout was down as compared to 2008. This is the single biggest aspect of the Republican race so far: GOP voters are markedly un-enthused by the Republican candidates and instead are choosing not to vote.

There have been many arguments used to sell Obamcare to the public. Much of it has been disingenuous, peddled not by doctors who are on the front line taking care of patients to the best of their ability, but by corporate interests that stand to gain from profits gleaned from the practice of corporate disease driven medicine, e.g., the pharmaceutical industry, the American Medical Association, AARP, The Hospital Corporation of America, and various unions.

Al Jazeera Joins Forces with Media Matters and ThinkProgress

By Joseph Klein

Media Matters, the Soros-funded Obama administration propaganda arm, claims that its prime mission is to correct "conservative misinformation in the U.S. media." Presumably as part of its self-righteous campaign against conservative misinformation, Media Matters decided to team up with the anti-Semitic, anti-American news outlet Al Jazeera, a corrupt media outfit owned and financed by an authoritarian Arab regime that forbids freedom of the press in its own country. Then again, intellectual honesty and truly unbiased journalistic professionalism were never part of Media Matters' mission statement. [more...]
