If pigs and the GOP could fly

It was a heady moment. This week Eric Cantor, leading GOP House member, said that if an election was held today, the GOP would take control of the House.
And he might be right … if an election was held today.
But I have sad news for Mr. Cantor. There is no election today. There is no [...]

in Gay Rights

Many in the LGBT community are impatient that President Obama has not moved faster to fulfill the expectations they had for him as candidate Obama. Apart from African Americans no single group voted more for Obama than gays. This column takes the POSITIVE side in the argument best summed up by David Mixner who said [...]

Wall Street Journal succumbs to black vs white politics

by @dmooney9 on June 8, 2009 · 7 comments

in Media Gaffes

Well it was predictable that with a black Democrat in the Oval Office, a prestigious business newspaper would succumb to racial politics. As @RobertMizen said in this column yesterday on this site “But what happens when our mainstream media become unable to do this job effectively?”.  That so called prestigious newspaper is none other than [...]

Obama’s speech at Buchenwald confirmed my confidence

in Human Rights, The President

In 2008 I was asked what I saw in Obama that made me want him as our president. I was honest then and I have been ever since- he seemed to be a positive force and eloquent. I knew he didn’t have all those years of political experience, wasn’t the political war dog like the [...]

Today Holocaust survivor, Nobel Prize winner and author Elie Weisel spoke at the Buchenwald concentration camp site with President Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. I watched it live. His story was moving but what moved me most were words I’ve had in my head for almost 5 months now.
Mr. [...]

Obama in Cairo

in Terrorism, The President

An extraordinary speech by an extraordinary president.
After listening to President Obama today in Cairo, I had two immediate thoughts: what I like the most about Obama is his energy and his willingness to tackle the most important and difficult issues – you may not always like what he says or what he does, but this [...]

New Feature! BackSpin

by @Karoli on June 2, 2009 · 2 comments

in Feature, GOP, The President

With each day that passes, the spin from the right gets faster, deeper, and more inaccurate. We here at Bipartisan Report welcome an honest discussion of facts, but in order to do that it seems that we need to unspin some of the headlines that have no factual basis underneath them.
Since @KyleSellers is enumerating the [...]

Why Obama won’t let GM fail

by @dmooney9 on May 29, 2009 · 2 comments

in Wall Street

Twitter and blogs are angry at Obama for wasting taxpayer money on a failing American auto industry? The federal government could end up with a 73% stake in GM. The union and bond holders will own the remaining. In December 2008, Congress failed to pass a bill authorizing a bailout of Chrysler and General Motors. [...]

Rebuttal: Obama Popular But Not Imagined Policies

by @rblinne on May 22, 2009 · 4 comments

in GOP, Politics, The President

@kylesellers did not like the  CNN poll I cited. He said it was like:
“Do you support Obama banning lollipops?”
It wasn’t. The CNN poll did not push poll by telling the  people listening what the policies the President, the Democrats, or the Republicans had.  They simply asked whether their policies were putting us on the right [...]

Point: Americans Like Obama AND His Policies

by @rblinne on May 21, 2009 · 7 comments

in Congress, Democratic Party, GOP, The President

Over and over I hear the mantra from @kylesellers, Americans like Obama but they prefer Republican and/or conservative policies. CNN just did a clever polling question to tease out the policy preference. It’s a change on the gold standard of polling the right track/wrong track question. They asked whether Obama’s policies, Congressional Democrats’ policies, and [...]
