What Happened: President Barack Obama came out swinging against Republican’s “Just Say No” logo and questioned their ability to lead America out of the economic recession which they engineered. Sadly, it may be too little too late as the minds of voters have already been tainted by Tea Party rhetoric. What Should’ve Happened: Young People: [...]]]> http://spatterblog.com/?feed=rss2&p=1509 0 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1506 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1506#comments Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:46:04 +0000 admin http://spatterblog.com/?p=1506
Another Obama address, another failed attempt at messaging by the White House communications team. Instead of using his address from the Oval Office to remind us that he displayed true leadership by going against the tide and opposing the Iraq war when everyone else was for it, Obama proudly asserted that he’d made a call [...]]]> http://spatterblog.com/?feed=rss2&p=1506 0 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1502 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1502#comments Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:00:44 +0000 admin http://spatterblog.com/?p=1502
I’m a firm believer that people shouldn’t ask questions to which they already know the answer. Queue MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell asking James Zogby why President Obama has yet to visit Israel. Mitchell firmly (as firm as is possible given her peckish disposition) questioned whether President Obama, given the resumed Israeli / Palestinian negotiations, needed to [...]]]> http://spatterblog.com/?feed=rss2&p=1502 0 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1496 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1496#comments Sat, 28 Aug 2010 04:28:48 +0000 admin http://spatterblog.com/?p=1496
When Glenn Beck made his debut on CNN’s Headline News, I quickly dismissed him as the rodeo clown of talk television; a loud and wrong swindler who impishly welled up with an eyeful of tears at the mention of any and all things American.  He was, at least in my mind, an annoying but benign [...]]]> http://spatterblog.com/?feed=rss2&p=1496 0 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1490 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1490#comments Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:38:48 +0000 admin http://spatterblog.com/?p=1490
The truth is that liberals are not radicals, President Obama is not a Muslim (nor is he a liberal), and repeating the word “freedom” doesn’t imbue you with some super uber potent form of patriotism. But as we all know, one lie begets another.  Small lies grow into whoppers. Once you begin moving and shaping [...]]]> http://spatterblog.com/?feed=rss2&p=1490 0 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1486 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1486#comments Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:35:49 +0000 admin http://spatterblog.com/?p=1486
Dr Laura’s not a racist.  She does, however, have a rigid set of ideas which she believes are applicable to all African-Americans. Her rabid attack of caller “Jade” highlighted Dr. Laura’s belief that African-Americans are oversensitive troublemakers with no legitimate grievances which, directly or indirectly, relate to racial disparities or sensitivities. If Dr. Laura had [...]]]> http://spatterblog.com/?feed=rss2&p=1486 2 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1477 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1477#comments Wed, 18 Aug 2010 00:37:13 +0000 admin http://spatterblog.com/?p=1477

I get it. In 1950, the ratio of the average executive’s paycheck to the average worker’s paycheck was about 30 to 1. Since the year 2000, that ratio has exploded to between [...]]]> http://spatterblog.com/?feed=rss2&p=1465 0 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1459 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1459#comments Sat, 10 Jul 2010 23:48:15 +0000 admin http://spatterblog.com/?p=1459 At the crux of the collapse of our political system is the fact  that key players add absolutely no value to the system: Constituents are, for the most part, loud, ill-informed malcontents who drown out their better informed, thoughtful counterparts. What’s worse, their brash, immature rants are celebrated by a media class too lazy to [...]]]> http://spatterblog.com/?feed=rss2&p=1459 0 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1447 http://spatterblog.com/?p=1447#comments Fri, 18 Jun 2010 15:30:12 +0000 admin http://spatterblog.com/?p=1447 If it were not apparent before, it should certainly be apparent now that our government is incapable of meeting the needs of the American people.
