Allah is right.

This skit about Ann Coulter stinks.

With George Bush and Sarah Palin gone the left-wing NBC will either have to find a new Obama impersonator or cancel the show. SNL has been on the verge of cancellation for years and “The One’s” hatred of Obamessiah parody may indeed sink it.

• How Obama Won the Election in the Cities and Suburbs
  We have, of course, started to get a little ahead of ourselves. But the future of America is an urban one — among the twenty largest metropolitan areas in 2000, nineteen had added population by 2007, a trend likely to sustain itself as rising gas prices place more pressure on exurban commuters. Republicans trail Democrats among essentially every fast-growing demographic except the elderly — the youth vote, the Latino vote; they never had the black vote. It is long past time that they hone their pitch to urban voters, and find their shining city upon a hill.

  And, why the GOP has needed a non-white voter outreach program for almost a decade. Will an African American RNC Chairman affect change? Ya better hope so.

• Sen. Cornyn Urges Clinton Foundation To Adopt Stronger Foreign Fundraising Restrictions
  U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, today sent a letter to Secretary of State nominee Hillary Clinton urging that the Clinton Foundation pledge to adopt increased disclosure requirements relating to foreign donors while serving as Secretary of State. Echoing similar concerns by the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. Cornyn is hopeful Mrs. Clinton, the Clinton Foundation and the President-elect’s team will work with him to find common ground to prevent any real or perceived conflict of interest.
  ++++++++
  Here comes the slime of the Clinton fundraising machine if disclosure is not tightened up.

• Bush's Final Approval Rating: 22 Percent, CBS News/N.Y. Times Poll Finds President Will Leave Office With Lowest Final Approval Rating Ever
  President Bush will leave office as one of the most unpopular departing presidents in history, according to a new CBS News/New York Times poll showing Mr. Bush's final approval rating at 22 percent.

  Seventy-three percent say they disapprove of the way Mr. Bush has handled his job as president over the last eight years.

  Mr. Bush's final approval rating is the lowest final rating for an outgoing president since Gallup began asking about presidential approval more than 70 years ago.
  ++++++
  And, Bush takes the GOP brand down with him.

• The Only Thing We Have to Fear . . .IS OBAMA – Where Does Barack Stand on the Issues?
  Barack Obama is the apostle of hope. But he also arouses the flipside of hope–fear. And while the fear he stirs may turn out to be unfounded, it's not irrational. People don't know who Obama really is or where his ideological center of gravity rests, to the extent it rests anywhere. He was a liberal in the Senate and the campaign, a centrist in the transition, and who knows what he'll be as president. He's elusive.
  ++++++
  Obama is elusive. Give him 6 months and we will see.
