Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Senator George Allen: still apologizing
… for all sorts of things perceived to have been racist that he’s said or done in his lifetime. All of this over the ‘macaca‘ flap.
Here are some interesting quotes from the article:
Allen’s 35-minute speech received polite applause and gracious reviews from the educators. “I am pleased that he is acknowledging he made a mistake and talking about it,” said Ralph Reavis, president of Virginia University of Lynchburg. “I’m an educator. If he says he’s learned from this, I accept it.”
David Nash, an official at the National Institutes of Health, said, “I think he’s a good guy. We, as African Americans, have to get beyond these Democrat-Republican things and deal with the real issues before us.”
Also Tuesday, Allen picked up the endorsement of a prominent black Democrat, state Sen. Benjamin Lambert of Richmond.
Lambert, in a written statement, lauded Allen’s support of black colleges. “We have worked well together over the years on many issues,” Lambert said.
Webb’s campaign spokeswoman, Kristian Todd Denny, said: “I just think it’s no coincidence that Allen is making these overtures now when he’s in a tight race for re-election and he’s worried about his job.
“I think his motives are political, and that’s too bad.”
Right. I mean, we know that Webb’s motives for milking this story for all it’s worth through a Democratic staffer (S. R. Sidarth the ‘offended’ one) are not in any way political. Nope. Not at all.
On the other hand, still no condemnation from normally-outraged-when-Republicans-say-them Democrats over Senate candidate Claire McCaskill’s recent racially-charged remarks, in which she stated “George Bush let people die on rooftops in New Orleans because they were poor and because they were black.”
Thur AM Update: Speaking of Webb, the Friends of George Allen website has a few quotes from Webb in which he comes across as being misogynistic about women in the military. Webb is opposed to women in combat, which isn’t wrong in and of itself, but if you read what he has to say about them – well, put it this way: had it been a Republican (like Allen) quoted as saying them, you’d never hear the end of it from Webb – and the MSM.

All I can say is I’m so sick of these double talkin moonbats, when they say something its o.k. cuz they are the high and mighty dems, aka robbie, white sheets byrd, but when a Republican says something is gets mega play from the lsm, the enablers.
The media is in full blown damage mode now, we are getting close to the midterms and they have alot of trashin left to do.
Well you see the way to get one over on these kinds of people Like Claire McCaskill & Kristian Todd Denny is to have something over on them, use the old Democratic trick of the 60’s and hire some P.I. to get photos and documents of them doing something not exactly legal and hold that over them and make them say just the opposite and start to bad mouth their own party or else you will turn in the evidence to the State Attorney’s office.
Use a little bit of mafia tactics on them for instance.
God Knows they were using those kinds of tactics on us Conservatives, it’s time to fight fire with fire.
The Liberals are always race bating when they have nothing to offer that is good ole issue oriented.
What do you mean the liberals have nothing to offer that is good ole issue oriented?
The Republicans are mean-spirited, against the environment, anti-social security, anti-poor, for the rich, racist and sexists, and cause more hate and discontent in the world.
/end liberal channel which exemplifies having no issues but attacking incessantly
Don’t forget Bak…Vote for Change…
Still trying to figure out what that change is suppose to be besides cut and run, and Impeach the president…
Raising your taxes, regulating as much of your life as possible, and insuring energy shortages, just for starters…
Well let’s not forget the return of large donations from foreign countries who have an interest in our technologies. Don’t we miss the good ole days at Los Alamos, where computer hard drives disappeared like fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookies??

Ohhhh another thing. I am believing that Mr. Allen is turning this around on the Dems. Look at those 1st 2 paragraphs. Seems to me he is doing the right thing. I just pray for discernment for him, cause there is going to come a time apologies will make him look weak. – Lorica
