An article in the current New Yorker reports that Barack Obama just doesn’t like many people, which prompted Ann Althouse to ask: who does he like? I think The English Beat answered that question a long time ago.

One of the surprise movie hits of the summer is Obama 2016, a documentary co-written and directed by the conservative writer Dinesh D’Souza. Despite a limited theatrical release, it is already the top-grossing documentary of the year. It was also the fourth-highest grossing film overall on last Friday, when it expanded from 169 to 1090 screens nationwide.
The late Apple CEO Steve Jobs evidently supported Barack Obama's rise to the presidency but soured on him when he saw what Obama did during his first couple of years when the new president had a majority in both houses of Congress and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate—meaning when Obama was as Obama-y as an Obama can be:
By Mike Gray When you’re cutting your own throat, any knife will do. . . . . we elected Barack Obama. The question Americans must ask of him before next time (heaven forefend) is whether he even wants low gas prices. Judging by his actions, his rhetoric, his Third-World, anti-imperialist, Frantz-Fanon-imbued vision of Diminished America, my hunch is no. To this president’s way of thinking, high gas prices are a solution, not a problem. Cheap energy is the launch pad of a soaring economy, one…
By Mike Gray On Townhall Daily, Duggan Flanakin notes the closure of the “climate conference” in Mexico, which he characterizes as a “clever political con job” organized and suborned by “power-hungry elitists [who] labored behind the scenes” to implement its real purpose: “redistributing the world’s wealth and natural resources.” A co-chair of the conference admitted as much and even used those very words. But socialists and anarchists alone don’t benefit from the climate con: When billionaires Ted Turner and Richard Branson tried to discuss ways…
by Mike Gray —probably not. Why should he alienate an important, affluent, and influential segment of his political base? In 2008, CMI‘s Lita Cosner reviewed then-Presidential candidate Barack Obama’s views on the matter: What does Barack Hussein Obama, who is now set to become the Democrat nomination for Presidential Candidate of the United States, have in common with so called ‘bioethicists’ such as Peter Singer and Joseph Fletcher? They all advocate that parents have a ‘right’ to kill their baby, not just before birth, but…
by Mike Gray Well, that’s what he said, that’s what the man said. WorldNetDaily’s Joseph Farah comments: MSNBC’s fast-talking Chris Matthews went off the deep end last week over those who question the constitutional eligibility of the one who sends thrills up his leg. …. Of course, if Chris Matthews really wanted answers to those questions, there are any number of people he could have invited on the air – about 174 million of them, if the CNN poll is right. But he didn’t want…

Winfrey occasionally uses her cachet to promote dreck such as Eckhart…
On January 22, 2010 President Obama continued stumping for government transparency, declaring, “I won’t stop fighting to open up government.” He continued the claims that he was establishing the toughest transparency rules “of any administration in history.” Tell that to Washington DC press corps. Here’s Pres. Obama declaring his commitment to “openness,’ “transparency,” and making sure all of us know who’s visiting the White House: That was then. This is now: Recently White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs met with a group from the White…
By Jim Lakely The Czar of the Teleprompter: that might come to be known as a revealing nickname for Barack Obama, and I think I like it the best—especially since I thought of it. After all, being called The Czar of the Telestrator has sure given NBA televison analyst Mike Fratello some panache. Anyway, as this story in Politico notes, the smartest and most eloquent man ever to roam the halls of the West Wing goes nowhere—and is nothing—without his teleprompter.
A former associate editor of National Review magazine says Christopher Buckley’s departure from his back-page column was not a firing, and the magazine embraces diverse viewpoints within conservatism. But that’s the real problem with the contemporary right: it lacks a set of coherent principles.
Conservative columnist Roger Kimball explains just how "transformative" Barack Obama really is.
Finally suggesting that there are some boundaries to acceptable hatred of white people by black Americans, Sen. Barack Obama has cut his ties with his controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
U.S. Sen. Barack Obama’s praise for former President Ronald Reagan is an interesting development, as it is the first time a major Democrat candidate for president has praised Reagan, a Republican whose policies and political success both made him utter anathema to the Democrat Party. Predictably, his opponents for the Democratic nomination for president are attacking Obama as a heretic, illustrating the seriousness of the ideological implications for Democrats. On Monday Obama told the editorial board of the Reno Gazette-Journal that Reagan made a far…
A very good article by Jon Friedman at Marketwatch points out that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) certainly has nothing to complain about his treatment by the media, even though the Senator and presidential candidate has seen fit to do exactly that. Friedman writes, It seems that the Illinois Democrat has a problem, though. Politico.com, the impressive new political-news site, ran this headline Feb. 12: "Obama Casts Peevish Eye on National Media." The story behind the story is this, as Friedman notes: Ben Smith’s story on…
