The Daley spin

Sometimes I just don’t know if Iain Dale simply loves spinning or he writes the most outrageous posts just to fill in his blog more than once everyday…
Either way have a look at his post yesterday:
‘Families are tightening their belts, and so should Washington’ – President Obama, 21 January 2009 
Can you imagine Gordon Brown saying anything similar? No, thought [...]

Quote of the day

‘It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he’s the one who proposed this national security force. I’m just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may — may not, I hope not — but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism [...]

The champagne is running!

Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Mexico in the bag, likely to be followed by Indiana, Virginia, Colorado and Nevada. Hats off to Plouffe and Axelrod, great strategy on the key battlegrounds. McCain is delivering its concession speech outside to freezing supporters rather than in the fancy ballroom they had set up for victory… let’s celebrate!
Hat tip: [...]

The show of shows

You don’t get a political night bigger than this. It’s not just an Americn election, it’s not just the American election that will end the disastrous Bush presidency, it’s the American election that will end the disastrous Bush presidency and be starting (fingers crossed) the Obama presidency, a black man with a completely un-American approach [...]

White supremacists for Obama

Compelling argument isn´t it…
“The corporations are running things now, so it’s not going to make much difference who’s in there, but McCain would be much worse. He’s a warmonger. He’s a scary, scary person–more dangerous than Bush. Obama, according to his book, Dreams Of My Father, is a racist and I have no problem with [...]

What’s the point of the economic summit? Anyone?

The White House today announced the celebration of the economic summit in New York in mid-November. The G-20 countries are meeting up to design a new structure for capitalism. It definitely sounds glamorous, it sounds like a 21st century Bretton Woods.
But there are two key reasons  why this economic summit is complete rubbish.
The first reason [...]

Biden v Palin: an analysis

I managed tos stay up for this debate as well, probably because is the first time in history in which the Veep debate was more awaited than that of the main candidates to the Presidency.
I have to admit I was watching while doing other stuff because Palin’s performance was just appalling (no pun intended). I [...]

Obama v McCain debate: an analysis

Yesterday I struggled to stay up to watch the first US presidential debate on CNN (unlike in 2004 BBC 1 wasn’t showing it) but I managed to watch it all and certainly wasn’t too impressed. Both candidates stuck to their messages and there was little interaction between them, more than a dialogue it was a [...]

Best of Denver

Things are looking up for Barack Obama to become the next President in November. Although there is still a long way to go, including the presidential debates, it seems like the Democrats’ Convention served its purpose of reuniting and reenergising a campaign that was losing some steam in the past few weeks. On the other [...]

Stressful times

Hello there! as Bill Bailey said in Black Books, long time no speaky! I haven’t been very good at multitasking these days. My best mate came down to visit us in London the past two weeks, I haven’t seen him in five years so catching up with him has been my main activity lately. On [...]
