Many voters hear right-wingers describe Obama as a Kenyan-born, Alinsky-loving, radical socialist—and wish it were true.
Moving Right
•
Whether they’re talking about Democrats or Republicans, the punditocracy calls for candidates to move to the Right.
Like Obama. But White.
•
What will Romney run against? The worst things about Obama are things that Romney agrees with.
Let Them Be Tax Refugees
•
Eduardo Saverin renounced his American citizenship rather than pay $67 million in taxes on his Facebook IPO. Why not get rid of illegal immigrants by paying them off?
Who’s Your Bully?
•
Mitt Romney, the Washington Post alleges, bullied a boy he thought was gay. The Obama campaign stands to benefitâbut let he who has not bullied cast the first set of sanctions cast the first Hellfire missile.
Don’t Ask, Don’t Fire
•
Does President Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage extend to the courage to defend gay Afghans and Pakistanis targeted by his illegal assassinations by drone?
Retroactive Courage
•
For years Obama was too cowardly to support the right of gays and lesbians to marry. Now that that right is popular with voters, however, he has changed his mind. And now he’s bragging about his courage.
And Yet
•
Despite the fact that nothing has been done to create new jobs, the U.S. hasn’t created any net new jobs above population growth. Meanwhile, 20 million people remain jobless. Which makes one ask: why doesn’t the Obama Administration think this is a problem?
Death by Skype
•
A soldier serving in Afghanistan was killed while Skyping with his wife. (We don’t know whether he was shot or died of some other cause.) How will your death be live-streamed?
The Decider
•
When it comes to doling out trillions to bankrupt banks, drone-bombing houses full of civilians, and ordering the assassination hit squad that took out Osama bin Laden, Obama is decisive. When it comes to supporting the right of gays and lesbians to marry, on the other hand, his position is evolving more slowly than the crocodile.
