People Have Been Fooled By Radical Obama
Posted by Sal Traina Categories: Editorials
This is for the people who swear Barack Obama is for change, and “non-partisan” politics. In a past blog, I wrote about a letter President Obama submitted to the left wing site, The Daily Kos. In that letter, he calls out to fellow liberals to basically flush out any moderate Democrats, and take the “fight” to the Republicans. Where is the change? Where is this “end of childish” politics he’s talking about? I haven’t seen it yet. I see him keeping with what he wrote for the Kos…an ultra-partisan political ideology.
In one part, he writes:
In order to beat them(Republicans), it is necessary for Democrats to get some backbone, give as good as they get, brook no compromise, drive out Democrats who are interested in “appeasing” the right wing, and enforce a more clearly progressive agenda.

I Thought It Was Patriotic
Posted by Sal Traina Categories: Domestic Policy, Editorials, Elections, US Economy
All of these people telling me to support my President, and rally behind him is starting to agitate me. Yes. Barack Obama is my new President, and I will support him, and I do hope he’s successful, but, the same people telling me I should do so are the same people who say “it’s Patriotic to question, and disagree with your President.”
They are the same people who said, “George Bush is NOT my President.” I’ve heard this crap the past four years by Democrats like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Dick Durbin, Babara Boxer, Howard Dean, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore, and many others.

If you’re upset by Republican Presidential Nominee John McCain’s loss to Democrat Barack Obama, take a deep breath. Everything will be alright. Every time our country has a one-party majority, things screw up majorly. Like I’ve written many times before, most people like to ignore history.
Democrat Bill Clinton had a Democratic majority in Congress, and it was a disaster. It wasn’t until after two years of failed policies, and one mistake after another, that the Republicans took the majority back and cleaned things up. I don’t need to explain Democrat Jimmy Carter’s years. I’ll just say that the mainstream media likes to state that our economy hasn’t been this bad since the Great Depression, but ignores record interest rates, record unemployment, high taxes, and record high inflation under Carter’s miserable years.

Whither The Candidates?
Posted by Steve Woodhead Categories: Domestic Policy, Editorials, Elections, Media
It’s usually around your third year of a Bachelor of Arts degree that the conversation will get theoretical. Talk turns from the texts (Moby Dick, Frankenstein, Oscar Wilde, or Bernardo Bertolucci) to the subject of theory, conjecture. Invariably, any honest English, Film, Communications or History student will eventually come around to the topic of simulation and simulacra. It’s been a few years since I’ve studied those particular subjects, but there’s something about the US election that has forced those old lessons out from the dusty recesses of my brain.
Obama’s Debate Talking Points
Posted by Sal Traina Categories: Editorials, Elections, Media
According to an ABC News Political Correspondent, Democratic Presidential Candidate, Barack Obama’s debate talking points were, “accidentally sent to the press this morning.”
Tonight’s Presidential Debate between Obama and Republican Candidate John McCain is set for 9PM EST at Hofstra University in New York. It will be moderated by Bob Schieffer, CBS News chief Washington correspondent and host of “Face the Nation.” The debate will be ninety minutes, divided into eight 10-minute segments. Candidates will be seated at a table with the moderator, who will introduce a new issue to start a segment. Candidates will be able to respond to the moderator, and then directly to each other.
