President Obama Scores Victory in US House 2014 Election
Posted by Greg Laden on November 9, 2014 
Yes, I know, that headline sounds wrong. But I worded it carefully and I assure you it is far more correct than many other headlines we are seeing, about the “historic loss in Congress” with the 2014 election. The truth is, the party in the White House tends to lose house seats with every midterm…
Is Obama really a Muslim?
Posted by Greg Laden on August 25, 2010 Or is he merely …. an atheist?
The people who like Obama more are smarter, female, non-white, not-Southern, not ‘twix poor and rich, liberal dems godless and unmarried.
Posted by Greg Laden on November 24, 2009 Modally speaking of course. And those are utterly different modes so the title of this post is of course nonsense. But, we do have some interesting data. This is from the Gallup Pole of weekly job approval by demographic groups. The main thing this poll shows is that Obama has high job approval ratings, and…
As usual, the press gets it all wrong
Posted by Greg Laden on November 4, 2009 People deride Americans for being politically sloppy thinkers, and for having short memories. This derision may be well deserved, but the flakiness of American citizens in relation to politics is perhaps easily explained.

Keeping Obama’s Peace Prize in Perspective
Posted by Greg Laden on October 12, 2009 Hmmm… Do I go along with Rush Limberger and Faux News? Or do I go along with … Rachel? Most people don’t get what the Nobel Peace Prize is. I tried to tell you. Some of you didn’t get it. Maybe if Rachel tells you you’ll get it. Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News,…
An Open Letter to Americans Who Are Annoyed at Obama’s Nobel Prize
Posted by Greg Laden on October 9, 2009 If you are a right wing Republican conservative Yahoo, this letter is NOT for you. If you are a moderate, progressive, liberal, centrist, or anyone associated with the legitimate (i.e., not FOX News) press, this IS for you.
A Trail of Shame: Racism and the Anti-Obama Movement
Posted by Greg Laden on September 16, 2009 A couple of weeks ago, I published a very controversial post titled “Maybe We Should Have Elected a White President After All” about the ongoing, possibly growing racism in connection with Obama’s presidency. The idea that a lot of the anti-Obama, including anti-health care reform, rhetoric and action was racially motivated was understood by some…

Posted by Greg Laden on September 11, 2009 Joe Wilson is a child of 9/11.
