If this had happened under the watch of the previous president, we wouldn’t have a diplomatic agreement in Honduras, we would be dealing with a Honduran insurgency…

As Cheney Rears His Head
October 22nd, 2009
1 Comment
Failed former vice president Dick Cheney, torture advocate and co-architect of a foreign and military policy that killed thousands of Americans, again tries to lecture President Obama on how to his job. Cheney began his remarks with praise for Donald Rumsfeld, which should tell you right off the bat that the remarks of this most [...]
Dear Secretary Hillary Clinton, Sometimes I Love You

I’ve clearly had my differences with Sec. Clinton (like all of 2008!) but sometimes she wins. Like here, where she just laughs her ass off at the mere mention of foreign policy moron John Bolton:
Eric Cantor Undermines U.S. Foreign Policy On Foreign Soil

Not too long ago Republicans called this sort of behavior treason.
Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) took a swipe at President Barack Obama’s Mideast policy in Jerusalem on Thursday, telling reporters he was worried about the administration’s direction in its attempts to forge a settlement in the region.
‘We’re here to try and make things better; we [...]
They Wanted To Blow Up Those Iranians They Claim To Love

Glenn Greenwald makes a solid point about the conservative position on Iran.
Much of the same faction now claiming such concern for the welfare of The Iranian People are the same people who have long been advocating a military attack on Iran and the dropping of large numbers of bombs on their country — actions which [...]
Clenis Escapes Blame, Now All Obama’s Fault

The right has a new boogeyman. Mitt Romney, whose position on this will probably flip-flop on this in a couple days like every other position he’s ever had, somehow blames President Obama for the outcome of the Iranian election. Somehow. Whatever. Thank God these morons aren’t near the levers of power for the immediate moment.

They all didn’t like President Obama’s speech in Cairo. Which means the speech was the perfect one to give. Banish all the extremists.

That should be the standard for all of our presidents, but at least its the standard now that Barack Obama is president.

As far as I’ve seen so far – correct me if I’m wrong – but it seems President Obama will not emulate President Bush’s hand-holding (literally) with the Saudi royal family.

Apparently the Israeli government is confused that we’re now going to be a broker between them and the Palestinians and not just in the mode of doing what Israel wants. Shocker.
According to many observers in Washington and Israel, the Israeli prime minister, looking for loopholes and hidden agreements that have often existed in the past [...]

In reaction to North Korea apparently making a nuclear test, conservatives are reacting like they always do: like scared babies. The fact that Kim Jong Il is as provocative as he always is seems, for them, to prove some point. Good luck deciphering what that actually is. Is the point that we should engage in [...]
Clinton Slaps Cheney
April 22nd, 2009
70 Comments
The ABC News headline to this story is a little misleading. It says that Sec. Clinton “questions” Dick Cheney’s credibility. There isn’t any question in Sec. Clinton’s words what she feels about Cheney’s credibility. She, like the vast majority of Americans, knows he has none.
“Are you in favor of releasing the documents that Dick Cheney [...]

President Obama dealt with Daniel Ortega’s harangue at the Summit of the Americas much in the same way he dispatched Sec. Clinton in the Democratic primaries and Sen. McCain n the general election – appealing to people’s need to move forward and not get bogged down in the ridiculous past:
“To move forward, we cannot let [...]

Finally. I spent most of my teen years in South Florida, and could never understand the mindset that keeping up a 50 year frosty relationship with Cuba was going to do anything productive to topple Castro and bring democracy to the people.

It seems nowadays every time an issue meets a poll, the dominant position in the Republican party is a fringe position. Funny how that operates.
