Obama Infomercial Poster

While watching the Barack Obama infomercial last night, your humble correspondent kept thinking about an incredible Obama infomercial poster created a couple of weeks ago by a member of the Free Republic by the name of "Gloucester."

Florida Went Democratic in 2000? CNN’s ‘Magic Map’ Colors It Blu

CNN’s "Magic Wall" map on Thursday’s Situation Room displayed an error regarding the results of the 2000 presidential election. Instead of indicating that President George W.

Obama Whacks Hannity Again As Jon Stewart Mocks Conservative Fearmonge

On the Daily Show Wednesday night, liberal host Jon Stewart offered Barack Obama eight and a half minutes of mostly serious policy talk after his infomercial aired on seven networks. The most noticeable part of the interview was when Stewart cued up Obama to attack conservatives for cartooning him as evil, and Obama predictably whacked at "hardcore Sean Hannity fans." Why does Obama seem to…
