I’ve recently been watching a Ken Burns documentary on the early days of radio, and it went through the era of FDR’s trailblazing chats on the radio which revolutionized the medium. I think we’re going through the digital version of that with the President-elect’s weekly address which will soon be the President’s weekly address.

Obama And Clinton Know It Isn’t About Them — Who Will Tell The Media?
December 2nd, 2008
3 Comments
Almost every story about Obama nominating Clinton to be his secretary of state has focused on their relationship, but I really wish they would write and report about the job itself. Bush has seriously wrecked the authority of America in the world, and Secretary Rice is just another one of his yes-men who really has [...]
Pains In The Ass
December 2nd, 2008
11 Comments
My prediction – and I made the same prediction for John Kerry if he had won – for President-elect Obama is that for the first year when it comes to domestic squabbles the biggest pain in his butt will be from the left of his own party rather than the right.
The current GOP is [...]

Obama’s Cabinet: What Does It MEAN?
December 1st, 2008
6 Comments
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. But don’t tell that to the media and the pundit class who is now trying to figure out just what message President-Elect Obama is sending with his cabinet choices so far. Some would say that this is just a way to fill up air time between now and [...]
The Fox Squeeze
December 1st, 2008

Five Obama press conferences, zero questions for Fox News. Perhaps they’ll rethink their editorial policy of referring to liberals as terrorists now.
Yeah, right.
UPDATE: Fox News brought on Omarosa as an expert on Obama’s foreign policy. Granted, she worked as a low level person in the Clinton administration but the reason she’s even someone who we [...]
The Media’s Obsession With “Team Of Rivals”
December 1st, 2008
4 Comments
President-elect Obama is from Illinois and he said he was reading “Team Of Rivals” and that is all it took for the media – going on almost three weeks now – to go nuts with the meme. It’s not even true! Sen. Clinton threw back and forth campaign rhetoric but in substance their foreign policy [...]

The Obama BOOM
November 26th, 2008
4 Comments
Conservatives in print, broadcast, and online have tried to make hay about the market going down in the last few weeks – trying lamely to tie it to Obama’s election despite the evidence to the contrary that the market downturn for the past year to year and a half is a clear outgrowth of Republican [...]

Barack Obama To Retain, Promote Marcus Fenix

WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama plans to retain and promote COG soldier Marcus Fenix when he is sworn in as president. Fenix currently leads his team of “Gears” in Delta squad but is expected to be promoted to Gears Chief Of Staff under Obama. “This shows that Obama takes the Locust threat seriously”, said Cory [...]

I was down in D.C. today on The Mall (I was visiting the re-opened National Museum of American History) and from there I could see the scaffolding of the stands being built on the Capitol for the Inauguration. It took me right back to election day to see that. Very exciting, America.
I Got Yer Infrastructure Here
November 22nd, 2008
12 Comments
President-elect Obama talked in his radio address about infrastructure investment to create jobs. In addition to public works may I suggest… MARS? Not only would a Mars mission help science-related jobs but we need blue collar work for it as well.
Probably a pipe dream but a boy can dream.

Proof The Campaign Is Over

The Obama folks have been leaking like a sieve – the Clinton vetting and Rahm Emanuel job offer were all over the place. At the end of the day, leaking that kind of stuff is no biggie so I don’t care if its off message, but it shows that inside folks don’t have the bunker [...]

Clinton Secretary Of State Stuff
November 18th, 2008
2 Comments
I’ve mostly ignored this because until any cabinet announcements are made there isn’t much real news to it. That said, if President Clinton’s entanglements are going to make it a pain in the ass, I’d rather they not do it. Secretary of State, especially post-Bush, is an important and tough job. I think Sen. Clinton [...]
America & Taxes
November 15th, 2008

Take how you feel about taxation out of the equation for a second. I don’t know about you but I was amazed that President-elect Obama was able to say that he would increase the tax rate of high earners and didn’t seem to pay a politicial penalty for it. It isn’t something he said months [...]
