So Much Awesomeness In The New Left Blogosphere, My Head Is Spinning!

Good morning, afternoon, evening, wherever you may be. Some days I wake up and there is so much good stuff in the New Left Blogosphere, I can’t contain myself. This morning was one of those mornings. Check out these great stories by the best of the best.

You absolutely have to go read this post at Angry Black Lady Chronicles, or scroll down if you are already there (cross-posting is fun). It’s called “Confessions of an Obamabot” and was written by Leisa.

You should also look at the Lawrence O’Donnell clip at Angry Black Lady Chronicles, when Lawrence is on, he’s on like Donkey Kong!

Joy at The Reid Report takes on Adam Green and the grifting of his mindless followers, the lies he uses to convince people to give him money are astounding. All liberals need to distance themselves from that con man and spread the word about his opportunism.

Eric Cantor is as dumb as a box of rocks, no offense to boxes of rocks everywhere! The People’s View tears up Eric Cantors latest stupidity. My favorite Eric Cantor blunder, and possibly the biggest blunder of all time in the House, was when he tried to pass a bill that would make another failed bill, the law of the land. DOH!

Smartypants has a great post about one of my heroes who died way too young, Molly Ivins. I had the chance to see her speak in person around the same time as Smartypants, she was amazing. Go read this post that brings back some of Molly’s wisdom from the past.

If you missed the President’s press conference, The Only Adult In The Room has the only adult in the room telling it like it is.

In that press conference, our very effective President reminded us all why he is President and everyone else isn’t. Steve Benen covers it like only he can do.

It’s time to take ACTION people, the forces aligned against President Obama are formidable, and they have a lot of money. I plan to give the maximum amount of $2500 to Obama 2012 this cycle to make sure our country doesn’t fall into Republican hands again, do whatever you can to help, The People’s View has the story.

There was a big difference of opinion on MSNBC it seems. While Lawrence O’Donnell called President Obama a “masterful strategist” two hours later Ed Schultz (with guests still has to suggest that our president is the “Capitulator-in-Chief”. Rachel in the middle was silent on the topic for once. I think O’Donnell, having actually worked in the Congress, knows something that others at MSNBC do not (although posing as experts, the latter are NOT privy to any of meetings and only SPECULATE what President Obama will do). So much criticism is about what the president MIGHT do! And guest Joan Walsh is “so sad” contemplating what the president MIGHT do.

- Joan Walsh acts like a sociopathic tool for corporatemedia when she’s not acting like one for herself so I’m not concerned about her “sadness”. She’s just sad.
  
  Ed’s a blowhard who is not helping at all..isn’t he the one who told people to stay home on Election Day 2010..to teach the Democrats a lesson?
  
  You have to have a strong stomach to watch that crap..gotta hand it to you guys.

  - Ed Schultz, a “champion” of the unemployed, should have been encouraging his “99s” to vote, to be looking out for their own self-interest. In 2010, only 35% of the unemployed bothered to vote whereas the turnout for the employed was 46%. Compared to Europeans who become activists, hold big public demonstrations, go on strike, our workers here in comparison are apathetic.

    Of course the unemployed tend to be less educated and not as prone to vote anyway.

Thank you for the links, ExtremeLiberal! I went to The Reid Report and thanked her for exposing Adam Green’s dishonest fundraising scam against President Obama.

I actually got those last two lies in my inbox and was furious so I replied to him. I was just going to delete them but felt much better after I wrote..

“FO Chicken Littles. I’m not into your professional whining trips. Yeah, Robert Gibbs was right.. I absolutely hate the panic of you professional “leftists”. At least Howard Dean isn’t acting like a stupid idiot over these anonymous sources.

You’re the freaking “outrage”. And..

“Bullshit! I support President Obama and renounce professional leftists. That’s what I pledge”.

Too bad we have scum scammers like this added to the vicious fascists..not caring if our country lives or dies. In fact wanting it to perish so they can make more money. Good luck with that, assholes.

Good one, Cha. I never signed up for any of Adam Green’s shit, so I don’t get it. I’m about to blast Moveon if those fuckers keep sending me anti-Obama shit.

- I think moveon needs to hear from those who don’t approve of their jumping on the ignorant whining wagon.
  
  But, I hope they don’t pull that again..they were conceived to defend Bill Clinton for crying out loud. :->

What I don’t understand is that Obama wants to cut 4 trillion and the republicans bulked and wanted to halve that to 2 trill? Wait a minute I thought republicans were big about cuts and were harping on Obama for not doing enough cuts but suddenly when Obama proposes 4 trillion they want to halve it to 2 trill? Hmmm interesting I thought they were the big conservative cut all spending republicans. Oh thats right they are opposed to the tax hikes which have to happen and they know it.
