The Unsociable Mrs. Obama

Apparently, Michelle Obama has not been very good at reaching out the other wives in the Senate or keeping in touch with her follow alumna at Princeton:
"Every woman that I know, regardless of race, education, income, background, political affiliation, is struggling to keep her head above water."
Perhaps, things in the U.S. Senate and the lives of Princeton grads are tougher than reported.

Obama threatens 292 thousand jobs

Just take text from the post, "Obama threatens 1.5 million jobs," substitute "pharmaceutical" for "oil" and 292 thousand for 1.5 million," and you'll see more of whom Obama is out to get. The links are here, here, here, and here.

Obama threatens 1.5 million jobs

As expert as he is in the running of business and industries, Barack Obama feels free to lash out at the oil industry and the approximate 1.5 million people it employs and tell us all how to make things better.

For example, here, and here, and here, and here.

One week until complete troop withdrawal from Iraq ... almost

In January 2007, Obama sponsored a bill to have all U.S. combat troops out by March 2008
... al Qaeda would have been so pleased. Sorry Osama, you can always hope for Pres. Obama to change courses starting January 2009.

The Great "Unifier"

Obama calls him self a "Unifier."He talks about it in almost every speech. He has ads suggesting such.

But what has he every unified of significance. Yes, he has attracted some people of some different stripes to his campaign. But where is the evidence of how this plays out in terms of policy? And please don’t point to some reaching-across-the-aisle b.s. done in Springfield, Illinois. I live in Chicago, and those folks down there are not the sharpest knives in the drawer and nothing like the vipers in Washington. Where has he done so on a national stage?

Take Iraq, for example.. He emphasizes over and over again how important his stand has been. So how has he unified on this issue? He has taken an extreme position on withdrawal and done nothing – NOTHING – to bring the two sides together. Where are the initiatives legislative or otherwise? Where is the outreach to people on the other side inside or outside the Senate? All he has done is taken an extreme position and not budged. It is the type of position typical in Washington – that you decry – that results in acrimony and divisiveness. So again, I ask, where is the evidence that he can unify the Washington crowd? Is he not just a demagogue on this issue just as so many other are on so many issues in Washington. I just see more of the same in an inexperienced package.
