Wear Clean Draws  (’coz there’s 5 million ways to kill a ceo)

Barack Obama wasted no time bowing down to his Wall Street financial backers and war-mongering advisors. His cabinet selections represent the same old politics of imperialist wars of plunder abroad and police containment policies against the African and Mexican communities here. It could not be clearer that Obama is, as the Uhuru Movement sums up, […]

Anthony’s keeping a list of all the ways obama continues to tack to the right or undermine claims made in the primary particularly. Here’s another one:
Later Emanuel responded to a question on the Employee Free Choice Act,
a measure backed by organized labor but strongly opposed by business,
saying, “Let me take your question and go somewhere […]

Doug Henwood asked of Andy Stern, why he thinks that the Obama administration is going to give a bat’s eyelash about decent health care, a query posted to a piece from The Note:
Doug asked: from The Note - will someone ask Andy Stern what he hopes to gain by
associating with this gang?

Man of Refinement By JAMES TARANTO Nineteen days ago, we speculated about Barack Obama that he would soon abandon his promise to bring about an American defeat in Iraq:
Could it be that Obama is planning to pivot? That is, what if he goes to Iraq and declares […]

i posted this in a thread at lbo’s discussion list. M liked it, so I’m posting it here in case readers might enjoy:
i’m starting to envision the lanky fellah (obama) on a twister mat, with him contorting himself into all kinds of positions. maybe he’ll get contorted enough to suck his own dick, so everyone […]

so, i checked into blogs and i see all these people having meltdowns because some people are expressing a desire to vote mccain or mckinney or abstain this year.
i don’t quite get the meltdown. isn’t that what we’re supposed to do? i mean, if you are progressive and still buy into this sham called elections, […]

Also, this chicka shoots and scores with this analysis of Obama’s rhetoric:
