President Obama

What we've witnessed since President Obama's election has been an unending parade of thinly veiled and outright racism spewed by mainstream media channels and pundits, Republican politicians and the GOP army trolls at most blog sites. The march of racism hasn't ended so the march against it can't either.

Broad surveillance of a nation may or may not reduce attacks or be worth the sacrifice but it must be kept in mind what kind of nation it is that we're intent on protecting and if we are pulling out the supporting beams of our home to build a barricade around it.

It was a no-brainer (or as known in Republican circles, a "Gohmert") for Republicans to vote against background checks, an assault weapons ban and a gun magazine limit. And it was just as easy for them to be "outraged" by the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi. Only If deaths help them politically, do they matter.

He gave everything he had to win the election...except tax returns, principled stands, the truth, compassion and the same answer to the same questions.

When we last left Bob Woodward in The Perils of Bobline, he was tied up and left on the railroad tracks by the evil Snidely Obama who threatened him that if he didn't pay the mortgage, he would take away his publishing house and let the train run of media opinion over him.

President Obama will deliver his 2013 State of the Union Address tonight at 6:00 pm PST (9:00 pm EST) and you're invited to join us for our live chat here beginning at 5:30 PM PST. Hope to see you then!

Has American politics jumped the shark? Should it be cancelled and replaced with another reality show? Perhaps a spinoff about the Republican-controlled House that is committed to doing nothing to help Americans, maybe titled, "American Idle"?

When it comes to being tone deaf and tone blind and tone dumb, the Repub's have cornered the market in 2012.
