Keith Ellison: Obama deserves blame for Democratic losses

4/25/2017

Ellison is teaching Bernie Sanders how to be truly courageous when it comes exposing the Democratic Party:
Picture
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) said former President Obama is partially to blame for the Democrats’ poor showing at the polls in 2016.

Ellison, now the deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, blamed Obama for ignoring party politics while he was in office, which he said had put the president’s legacy at risk.

“Look I’m a great fan of President Obama. I totally voted for many of the things he supported — Dodd Frank, Affordable Care Act, Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act — I could keep going,” Ellison said at an event Wednesday at the University of Minnesota.

“Wonderful achievements. But Barack Obama could have been a better party leader, and I think the fact that he wasn’t put his legacy in jeopardy,” he said.

Obama to Make $400K for Wall Street Speech

4/24/2017

It's about cashing-in. That's what public service has become: just another way to line your pockets:
Picture
Former President Barack Obama has agreed to speak at a Wall Street conference for $400,000, according to a new report.

Obama will appear at Cantor Fitzgerald LP’s healthcare conference in September, Fox Business Network first reported Monday.

Fox Business said it confirmed Obama’s appearance with senior people at Cantor, a financial services firm.
Of course he decried this way to make a back when he was a politician:
Picture
When he was president he called them “fat cats,” but now he’s likely thanking them for a huge payday.

Former President Barack Obama, less than 100 days out of office, has agreed to speak at a Wall Street conference run by Cantor Fitzgerald LP, senior people at the firm confirm to FOX Business. His speaking fee will be $400,000, which is nearly twice as much as Hillary Clinton, his secretary of state, and the 2016 Democratic Party candidate, charged private businesses for such events.

Hillary Clinton too Important to March with the People

4/24/2017

Comments

 
Picture
Saturday we saw another major rally attended by thousands of protesters. Many of those participants voted for Hillary Clinton last November. But the candidate who inspired the 'women's march' could once again not find the time to participate. Why? Maybe she doesn't feel comfortable mingling with the little people. After all, she is political royalty:
Picture
The marchers flooded into Washington, D.C. publicly backed by mainstream figures in the Democratic Party and progressive movement, too ― like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and yes, Hillary Clinton. But if you're wondering whether Hillary Clinton is at the March for Science, the answer appears to be no.

As it stands now, Clinton hasn't made an appearance at the march. This wouldn't be the first time she, nor most politicians, publicly backed a cause that they didn't personally attend ― she also skipped the Women's March on Washington, despite being publicly supportive of it. In short, she seems to have opted for a promote-from-afar approach.
She did attend a festival related to the environment instead, as a mystery guest. That counts as participating in a 'Earth Day' event. Doesn't it? Kind of.
Picture
Clinton attended the festival as an unannounced panelist at the premiere of “The Protectors: Walk in the Rangers’ Shoes,” a virtual reality documentary about elephant poaching that was co-created by Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow.
Hillary certainly didn't spend her time reading this book:
Picture
In “Shattered,”  journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes portrait Clinton's campaign as a Titanic-like disaster: an epic fail made up of a series of perverse and often avoidable missteps by an out-of-touch candidate and her strife-ridden staff that turned “a winnable race” into “another iceberg-seeking campaign ship.”

The Mainstream Parties Defeated in France

Picture
Could this be a preview for the next U.S. election?
Picture
The centrist Emmanuel Macron will face far-right leader Marine Le Pen in a run-off for the French presidency on 7 May, multiple projections indicate.
Mr Macron leads with 23.7% in first round voting while Ms Le Pen won 21.7%, an Ipsos/Sopra Steria poll suggests.
Opinion polls in the run-up to the ballot consistently saw Mr Macron defeating his rival in the final round.
The two saw off a strong challenge from centre-right François Fillon and hard-left Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

...Whoever wins the next round, the voting marks a shift away from the leftist and centre-right parties that have long dominated French politics.

Nebraska Farmer Politely Schools Fox News Host On Dangers Of Keystone XL Pipeline

4/23/2017

Comments

 
Picture
Nebraska farmer Art Tanderup urged the Trump administration on Friday to abandon plans to build the Keystone XL pipeline and focus instead on boosting renewable energy.

In a four-minute interview on Fox News, Tanderup ― who heads a group of about 90 Nebraska landowners trying to block the pipeline ― politely countered each of host Sandra Smith’s talking points as she repeatedly suggested his personal stake was the only real reason he opposed the project.  
“Our premium goal would be to leave the tar sands in the ground and move more rapidly to renewable fuels,” said Tanderup, who owns a modest 160-acre farm passed down from his wife Helen’s grandfather. (source)

Poll: Public Gives Trump Low Marks for First 100 Days

4/23/2017

Bad start. And it's only going to get worse for you, Donnie:
Picture
Forty-five percent of respondents in the survey believe Trump is off to a poor start, with an additional 19 percent who say it's been "only a fair start." That's compared with a combined 35 percent who think the president's first three months in office have been either "good" or "great."

...Trump's overall job-approval rating stands at 40 percent — down four points from February. It's the lowest job-approval rating for a new president at this 100-day stage in the history of the NBC/WSJ poll.

Poll: 1 in 3 voters give Trump an 'F'

4/1/2017

An F would have been a failed grade even at Trump University:
Donald Trump
President Trump's first few months in office gets a grade of F according to 1 in 3 voters, a new poll Friday says.

The McClatchy-Marist poll found that 38 percent of registered voters approve of Trump’s job performance, while 51 percent disapprove.

Thirty-two percent of respondents graded Trump an F, while 22 percent gave him a B and 15 percent each graded him at A, C and D.
