Leadership 102: Stand By Your People

by Smitty (h/t Gateway Pundit) It’s probably not an initial lesson in leadership, but, after a while, some fertilizer hits the air circulator, and a real leader has to stand by the troops. Hopefully, there is a foundation of communication, confidence, trust, and a clearly articulated direction of movement. If a subordinate makes an unforced […]

Election ’08: Virtual High-Fives and Online Obamagasms for Journolist

As previously noted, the Daily Caller must have the complete Journolist archives, and now they share the unsurprisingly ecstatic Election Night reactions from?progressives. UPDATE: Instapundit has been a one-man aggregator of all things Journolist the past couple of days.

Bolden either (a) […]

At a time when the unemployment rate has been hovering near 10 percent for nearly a year, Obama’s job approval numbers are very near dead even, and Republicans are just barely leading on the generic ballot. Why isn’t the administration’s abject failure on economic issues more […]

No Valid Criticism Is Possible

Ace of Spades noticed this convenient rationalization: During the interview Wednesday, when confronted with the anxiety that some Israelis feel toward him, Obama said that “some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion.” Maybe that also explains why 55% of voters say Obama is a socialist.
