Gilad Shalit Completes Fourth Year of Hamas Captivity - Associated Content - associatedcontent.com

Gilad Shalit Completes Fourth Year of Hamas Captivity Hamas continues to prevent the International Red Cross from any contact with prisoner Gilad Shalit. Haaretz also reports that a Hamas “lawmaker” told a Hamas newspaper that the International Red Cross did not take the “military reality into account” when they made repeated requests to have contact with the Hamas kidnap victim. No doubt. Perhaps it is a cultural misunderstanding on the part of those who don’t approve of the segregation and psychological torture of prisoners as Hamas does.

Democrats Love Petraeus After Hating on Him

It's really a riot to hear libs singing the praises of the new top general of the Afghanistan war. It wasn't long ago they were attacking a full page newspaper ad featuring Petraeus and the Iraq surge. Rush Limbaugh yesterday played an entire series of tapes featuring prominent Democrats like Pelosi and Hillary Clinton back when the surge was being contemplated. The audio tapes on the Limbaugh show would have made you laugh if they weren't so pathetic and dangerous.

Petraeus was lying about the surge, said top Democrats. Petraeus was spinning the facts on the ground. Iraq could never have its own government without Saddam Hussein. Innocents were being slain! Then there was Vice President Joe "Bite Me" Biden declaiming that Iraq was lost and that Petraeus was both liar and loser.

And now you don't hear Obama complaining about the "General I inherited" from the Bush Administration. It's truly disgusting how these toadies are now playing up to Petraeus, anything to find a way to call this an Obama "master-stroke" (Newsweek's words) when it was a serious no-brainer.

What hypocrisy!

General McChrystal Drops Bombs in Rolling Stone Profile

Hell hath no fury like a President criticized. Beginning with George Washington, America’s had a tradition of civilian control of the military, and it is a good tradition. However, even in Washington’s day, several of Washington’s generals were openly critical of the leadership of the man who played a large part in establishing America as an independent nation.
The difference is that, in those days, there were no Rolling Stone reporters following you around. Worse, the Rolling Stone reporters were trapped with McChyrstal in Europe when the volcano made it impossible to fly back to the U.S. Much of the information in the Rolling Stone article comes from military aides to McChrystal, who also must have missed the lesson on military etiquette.
Make no mistake though, General McChrystal was firing out of both barrels when he exhibited a great deal of contempt for the political team running the Afghanistan war.

Rahm Emmanuel Leads the Pack in Run from White House

The bloggers are all atwitter with the news/rumor that Rahm Emmanuel is jumping ship from the Obama administration. Apparently the panic is spreading. Just now, Fox News reported that Peter Orzag was also splitting from Obama to make his way down the road.

I don't see where it's such big news about Rahm Emmanuel leaving. It was more or less predictable, more a question of how long he'd last. But Peter Orzag, Budget Director? That kind of exposes the bare underbelly of Obamarithmetic. In other words, Orzag couldn't make the numbers add up the way the Messiah wanted them to.

White House Focused on Managing Politics of Gulf Oil Spill

Repeat After Me: Bush Responsible for BP Oil Spill... and so forth.

Have you got it memorized yet? That President Bush is responsible for the Gulf Oil Spill? Not a day goes by that Obama or one of his officials doesn’t mention it, and it was Nanny Pelosi’s turn yesterday. Pelosi’s already had her turn several times already, though. The Administration seems to think that the only defense against criticism of its failure to lead is bluster.

It’s kind of like that old table-pounding theory. When you’re a defense lawyer (and the current administration is full of lawyers, from the Lawyer-in-Chief on down) and all the evidence is against you, from eyewitnesses to DNA, you can only pound the table to make your case.

The evidence in this case is an absence of leadership. Down in D.C., they’re making it up as it goes along, according to the polls and the press clippings. If the media, Gulf politicians, and even the members of your own party complain that the President has appeared to take refuge in the Ivory Tower, then you arrange scripted public appearances where, at the advice of people like Rahm Emmanuel and David Axelrod, you make what policy wonks think are salty references. So the President says he’s been “finding out whose *ss to kick.”

The trouble with that strategy is that the President seems to have left out a qualifier. The President should have said he was “finding out whose *ss NOT to kick,” because as things go, there’s not an American butt anywhere which hasn’t already been kicked by this administration. And that includes the crayfish, the shrimp, and the water ducks who struggle in the muck. It’s more than painful to watch, and just as painful to watch the confusion and the mix of messages from the White House.

Or maybe the problem is entirely with the White House grammar. After all, the words “Gulf” and “golf” do bear a resemblance. Imagine how it would play in the media if President Bush, the man responsible for the BP Oil Spill, would take the afternoon off to play “Gulf.”

Helen Thomas Resigns From Hearst Newspapers

It was resign or get fired. Even Robert Gibbs noticed and criticizes her bigotry in telling Jews to "go home" to Poland and Germany. The worst part of it is that Helen Thomas seems too dotty and bigoted to know where home actually is for the jews.

But I can hear it now. Democrats will adopt the same "business as usual" attitude toward anti-semitism that they have adopted toward corruption in the subornation of the election process.

"This is nothing unusual," they say.

Nothing unusual for some, apparently, but the hypocritical liberal elite with its reverse racism and latent anti-semitism has subconsciously cultivated the Helen Thomases of the world. So it's not unusual in this business as usual White House model to hear from some in the White House Press Corps some of the same things you hear from Erdogan of Turkey, and from Ahmadinajad or Iran, or from Assad in Syria.

Helen Thomas' jihad has finally been outed, boiled over to the point where it couldn't any longer be swept under the rug. But the underlying stench still remains, in the soft encouragement the WHite House has provided to our enemies in Iran, Syria, and the Hamas Central Command in Gaza--all at the expense of our true friend, the successful Democratic state of Israel.

New Jersey Men Arrested on Terrorism Charges

Did you ever notice how infrequently the media coverage makes any distinction between LEGAL and ILLEGAL immigration? It’s absolutely whacky how illegal immigrants get an avalanche of attention while legal immigrants are left to wander the labyrinth of bureaucracy, travail, and financial cost with hardly an ounce of recognition or sympathy.

I was listening to a recording of one of the two New Jersey losers who were arrested at the airport on terrorism charges. The MSNBC (think Mindless, Sick, Nuts, Blind, and Cracked) Administration News Outlet in its stuttering, redundant way, has mentioned at least 25 times that the two jihadis are American citizens. The one guy’s age 20, and sounds stupid and guttural as he talks about cutting off American’s heads to get their attention. It was reported his parents were Jordanian immigrants. The other guy, from Jamaica, has been “naturalized” but by what process? By lying under oath to pledge allegiance to the U.S.?

The immigration authorities need to get serious about the immigration process. They need to stop illegal immigrants from voting in our elections. I can prove they do so, but no one’s interested. I’m not holding out hope that the Obama administration will anything except the opposite of what is needed. Just what is the policy on immigration? More basically, is there a policy or is it just made up to suit the headlines du jour?

So there's nothing unusual about left-liberal anti semitism. All one has to do is check out the early coverage of the Turkish Islamotarian attempts to create a pathway for Iran and Syria to smuggle more arms to Gaza under the pretense of humanitarian aid. Turkey needs another Attaturk. They ought to get rid of Erdogan. And if the American press has any self respect left, they should get rid of Helen Thomas, who tells the "Juden" they ought to get back to Poland and Germany. Poland?...

Hamas’ Propaganda Ship Nudges International Israel Haters

The world-wide knee-jerk reaction to the Israeli action against the Hate Ship is predictable. Many governments have fallen victim to leftist and Islamic propaganda and were just looking for such an opportunity to condemn Israel.
The Israeli action on the ship was a bit clumsy, but that was because it was timid in concept. The Israeli Navy should have treated the ship as what it was, a hostile venture aimed at breaking the blockade. Commandos with paintball guns? I know that all of the people aboard the ship were not terrorists, and that some were just useful idiots, but none of those people had peaceful motives.

Peaceful motives would have recognized that Iran and other countries were funneling rockets to Gaza, and that those rockets would be aimed at Israel. The useful idiots have to take responsibility for their actions. The “humanitarian aid” was just a pretense, as the Israelis would have delivered any humanitarian cargo the ship contained.

Tipper Gore Kicks Al Gore to the Curb

Could anyone be more boring than Al Gore? Tipper believes not, and though it was announced last month that the Gores bought a 9 million dollar home on the California Coast, it wasn't enough to compensate for Al Gore's terminal odiousness. Tipper's been embarrassed by hubby Al ever since that dopey/sloppy kiss at the 2000 political convention.

Well, you've got to give Al Gore lots of credit for figuring out how to scam millions from the global warming fiasco. Even as he buys those giant homes with their energy absorbing luxury comforts, and even as he belches carbon from his private jets, he's got plain folks feeling plenty guilty if they turn the heat up past 60 in the winter.

So Al Gore and Tipper Gore are parting ways, leaving Al to cruise the California coast for younger chicks. Get a clue though, Al, you're going to have to lose the paunch. Why don't you sign up for one of those fat farms where they make you park your jet for a while and blubber around the indoor track?

Oh, and if you should get lucky flashing your millions around Montecito, don't start talking to the girl about "global warming." She'll think you're weird. Well, you are weird, but... well, you know...pretend...you know how to pretend, don't you?

Al Qaeda’s #3 Al Masri Killed in Predator Drone Strike

Al Qaeda’s #3 man El-Said Al Masri was taken out in a Predatory drone strike in Pakistan. The stepped up Predator drone strikes must be credited to President Obama, and they have been effective in shattering the Al Qaeda organizational structure. Pakistan’s cooperation with the White House/Military plan must also be credited, so the combined effort has put unprecedented pressure on the Al Qaeda leadership. The AQ leadership hasn’t been as much on its ass since Bin Laden was pushed out of Tora Bora on the ass of a donkey.

Still, this doesn’t prevent MSM media types like Tom Brokaw from uttering their favored banal, hackneyed, repetitive, and trite liberal chant: “Every time a terrorist is killed, another one takes his place,” the saying goes. It has many variations, but none are worth hearing.
Since 6 number 3 Bin Laden aides have been killed, I guess AQ will soon be getting down to hiring handicapped teens straight from the madrassas for the number 3 slot. AQ may have the capability of setting off bombs in crowded areas, but it is not the organization it would be if it had not had its ass kicked violently, and for a long time. Cowardly People who murder civilians a la Tanzania and Kenya, or New York, Spain or London, are perfect for visits by the “Reaper.”

The world is slowly turning against terror, and less susceptible to the anti-west Islamofacist propaganda, the Tom Brokaws and lesser acolytes notwithstanding. The idea that the U.S. and its anti-terror allies should be engaged in social work with humanity’s enemies rather than in killing them is laughable and weak. The only thing that would help AQ and its terror allies is if the objective becomes confused and self-flagellating.

It Was Bill Clinton Who Offered Sestak the Job, I Swear

There seems to be a predictable lack of MSM cynicism regarding the White House announcement that it was Bill Clinton who offered Joe Sestak a job in the Obama administration. But there is plenty of laughter, and one of the persons laughing is Bill Clinton. Huh, huh, huh...That Bob Bauer...what a card!

Bob Bauer’s story is that the White House offered Sestak an “alternate path to service” so he could keep his job in the House and still stand next to Obama during photo opportunities. Under federal rules, that would be illegal if the job offer (or alternative path to service) was a paid position like Secretary of the Navy.

If Bauer’s version is the entire version, then Rahm asked President Clinton to ask Sestak….and you know the rest. But if the story were that simple, then why were there months of delay when the story first surfaced? Were there other attempts at persuading Sestak to quit the race? Of course, this opaque White House, with its secretive ways and fortress mentality, is not going to stand for putting Bill Clinton and Rahm Emmanuel under oath, but why not Joe Sestak?

If there’s nothing there, then the White House gains in credibility, and the cynics disappear into the woodwork.

Obama Press Conference Today Will Address Two Big Questions

Obama Press Conference Today Will Address Two Big Questions

I sense another Obama charm offensive coming after today’s hopefully serious press conference. The President’s recent joking and self-deprecating remarks about his waning popularity and “Hitler moustache” do elicit sympathy, especially to those who confuse personality cult with national leadership. But presidential hipness and studiously contrived noble poses wear thin as the sea birds and undersea life wear their new coats of oil slick, and people begin to wonder if their inexperienced president can “get real” about pesky things like massive deficit spending and the drift toward opaque backroom deals and political corruption.

Legal Immigration Ignored by LameStream Media

I've often advocated that Americans focus on LEGAL immigration. That's one way to mitigate the media and government demagoguery that is controlling the debate over the Arizona law. The Obama administration is in desperation mode as it tries to characterize the Arizona law as racist. Plus ca change. That's what they do, isn't it?

My own parents immigrated and I have a few friends who are legal immigrants. I also have a friend who, with his wife and infant son, was deported in January 2009. He's Russian, his wife is Latvian, and his son is a mix of both, obviously. They are great hard-working people. He (Alex) had been admitted into the U.S. legally, but failed to respond to letters asking him to report. He had moved to another state to get work and was far away from Ohio, where he had been summoned.

All this lie and dissemble stuff from the Obama White House ignores the problems. It hurt legal immigrants who must pay large amounts of money, and wait enormous amounts of time to obtain citizenship.

How many times has the news media featured the story of the hardships of the legal immigrant? Nada.

The President is Rotten: Good and Evil in Fox TV Show "24"

The President is Rotten: Good and Evil in Fox TV Show "24" - Associated Content - associatedcontent.com

Rima Fakih a Faker?

Rima Fakih, on Fox News, didn’t look nearly as hot as her touched up photos for the radio station which can be seen on the internet.  On Fox, she wore a ribbon of a skirt, a clashing purple outfit, and an ersatz looking crown.   I found her completely unattractive, not because she is of the Arab persuasion, as I’ve met many far more beautiful Arab women.  There is  tawdry aspect to her—not because of the sexy pictures dancing on a bar—but because she had a rough, unpolished look which could not be subdued by TV studio makeup.   

 

You feel a little embarrassed for her, knowing that her pageant victory was strictly a political deal.  I felt sorry for the runner-up, far more beautiful, intelligent, and personable.  Well, everyone knows that, so I’m not telling you anything you don’t know.   Obama’s  left-wing imposed political correctness standards on the pageant, and his popularity in what Deborah Schlussel calls “Dearbornistan,”  has contributed to this travesty.  Along with Hizbollah’s monetary support and Donald Trump’s public prostration.

 

It was the Arizona Immigration Law that provided the opportunity for a political biased pageant judge to trip up Elizabeth Woolard, who outshone Kakih in intelligence in the same ratio as beach lighthouse compares to a flashlight.   Woolard’s answer was too bright—she opposed “profiling” while saying she had a great deal of respect for state’s rights.  Wasn’t that the way the U.S. Constitution was written?

 

Rima Faker’s answers to the Fox News anchors questions were dull and wooden. That is one stupid chick—and the pageant brand will suffer severely.   Hasn’t Obama told us already—you can’t put lipstick on a pig.  It’s still a pig.

 

Oh, and Rima….  If birth control were a “controlled substance” in the U.S., as you said when you tripped through the pageant, you might just as well have stayed in Lebanon.

Treasury Takes $2.1 Billion Loss and AP Prints White House Bulletin

•   Taxpayers are taking a beating on the auto bailouts.   The AP reports this Chrysler loss today with a bow to the White House.   The AP article takes great pains to point out that the UAW Chrysler and GM bailouts were done on January 2 while George Bush was still in office. 

           The delicate AP story puts it that the Treasury is taking the loss.

•  
•  Treasury?...that’s us, isn’t it? This is typical AP reporting. AP is the communications arm of the Obama White House. How can the dumb-assed reporter not mention the letters, meetings, and transition teams of Obamanites who initiated these bailouts? Does he/she think readers wouldn't be interested in that? Since the election, Pelosi and other Democrats and the transition team had outlined the plan of UAW bailouts and it was a done deal. A barrage of letters from Obama-Reid-Pelosi tell of the planned Obama bailouts.  What was Bush supposed to do?  Say “no?”  Eighteen days later, it would have been done anyway.
•  
• A mere courtesy on the part of the outgoing admin. This is a deliberate slant and it wouldn't surprise me if some Chicago type put a little money into the reporter's pockets.

Pennsylvania Tax Ad Should Aim at Governor Rendell

There's an ad being played on TV here in Pennsylvania which is designed to intimidate people into paying more PA income tax. After running the state into the ground, Fast Eddie Rendell needs the money to redistribute to political cronies. Rendell's obsequious support of the Obama administration and its fantasy world of health care "reform" required him to announce tax increases, rather than cutting down the size of PA bureaucracy, where most of the jobs are.

The scheme wouldn't work without a little nudging, so the geniuses who run the state hired an ad agency which targets a representative taxpayer (Tom) with little nuclear circles. Pay your taxes now, Tom, or something bad will happen to you. It's a very oppressive government ad and completely unnecessary.

I wonder how it would play out if the same little nuclear target circles were put into an ad targeting Governor Ed Rendell.

As in “Do a good job, Rendell, or you will pay heavily for the tax increases you inflict.”

That ad was disgusting, especially in economic times like this.

Obama Administration Tries Again on NYC Bomber Faisal Shahzad

Once the bombs in the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder were discovered, the police did fast work in rolling back the red carpet, catching the slack-jowled Pakistani hater on the tarmac with the intent of fleeing to Dubai. Some of Faisal's accomplices were arrested in Pakistan, and his connections with car, house, cellphone,etc, have been made.

That being said, one can't be too thrilled with the political statements coming out of public officials, many inthe Obama administration. Janet Napolitano doesn't quite get it, talking to America as if it were a kindergarten class, and providing us with the same lame assurances you'd give only to frightened children.

What's really disheartening about the administration, and what's really encouraging to terrorists, is that Obama administration officials have put out so many different messages about the War on Terror that one can only conclude that it is confused.

Michael Schuerer called the latest attack on New York a "success." WHile I wouldn't call it that, I can understand what Schuerer meant. The bomber found it too easy to penetrate New York City with a carload of bombs and related equipment. Obama's overtures to the Muslim world have been and will be interpreted as weakness, and Obama's oratorical retreats from traditional U.S. policies have only encouraged attacks.

Obama's strategic message is not half so bad as the public messages they have been sending. By contrast, consider Vladimir Putin and the messages he sends to his "enemies." Yah, I know, Putin's stooges sat there while the head Irano-Nazi berated the West yesterday. But there won't be any mollifications regarding the latest terror attack on the Russians, you can be sure. And the tough line Moscow has taken on Chechnya, and on Basayeev the Beslan Butcher, does not invite further incursion.

At the same time, we have Eric Holder still undecided about using New York City as the location to try KSM, and you have the Clinton's looked for connections between Shahzad and the Hutaree militia, and Janet Napolitano doing the same.

There's too much b.s. coming from this administration at a time when we need solidity, clarity, and leadership. We don't need to wait until the next attack on a civilian population occurs to get serious about these assholes.

We can get serious and still maintain the rights we have from God and the U.S. Constitution. To think otherwise is to be less than serious.

GM Ad Hoax Tells of Payback Hoax

Remember the TARP program? Remember when Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama sent a letter to the outgoing President Bush asking him to put up some seed money for the Big Three automakers? Just a start, Mr. Bush, just a start. We'll take care of the rest, said Obama and Pelosi.

At that point, who knew that GM and Chrysler-Cerberus (a privately owned investment company) would fall in the category of the Troubled Asset Recovery Program?

Barack Obama: "We've got to dole out money to these companies, folks. If GM and the investment firm of Chrysler Cerberus goes down, you'll be the ones to suffer."

Oh, yeah? How? Can we suffer any more than we are now with unemployment ranging from 10 to 25 percent, depending on what you count?

But now comes this ridiculous GM ad campaign which boasts that GM has paid back the U.S. taxpayers five years sooner than expected.



So they paid back about 8 million with the money we gave to GM, and that came from an escrow account set up compliments of Uncle Sap Taxpayer. Now there's still 73 percent of the money we gave them which is yet to be paid. The U.S. still owns 61 percent of GM; the Canadians some smaller percentage; the UAW the rest.

Where's Obama during all this? Feting the Yankees? Flogging Arizonans for the Latino vote (not mentioning that a significant number of legal Latinos want better immigration control)?

I feel kind of embarrassed that Obama is so clueless about everything. It's not entirely Obama's fault--the fool has no options but to do what he's been taught to do. Besides, you can't blame a brother for trying to get over. Obama's gotten over big, that's all. Obama's gotten over on a bunch of primarily clueless white people who believe they are expiating their racial sins. I love my brown, black, red, yellow, and white brothers and sisters. We all bleed the same color. I don't have any racial sins so why should I have to pay by this bumbling amateur voted into the presidency?

I think more to blame are the people who voted him in. He's out of place in the White House. Perhaps with some years of experience he would have a clue and wouldn't be half as embarrassing.

I think the White House experience is tearing him apart. I think the Obama White House is tearing America apart. I think GM should STFU and file for bankruptcy, followed by Chrysler-Cerberus so that we can at least make a claim of their assets.

Who knows? It might defer some of the giant tax and price increases that are stomping toward us on the horizon.

Public Notice to Valerie Jarrett: Barack Took a Milliion from Goldman Sachs

You already knew. You're talking major flak here. Jarrett did the obligatory appearance on several TV channels to peddle the financial reform package. Fine, but did she have to say: "...we're working for a lot of people who were really hurt by this (Goldman Sachs)..." and blah-blah.

"Champions of the people" in this case are British Banks, German Banks, and American banks and other investors.

News flash for you, Valerie Jarrett. Stop trying to fool people; it's well known that your boss, Barack, got a cool million from Goldman. And you also know that it takes at least a million dollars to even play at the CDO and CDS swaps at Goldman Sachs. People who were affected by the GS scandal can afford whole teams of lawyers, Valerie.

But I guess this is Democrat "populism" these days.

An Afghan Experience: Roads of the Poconos -- the Stroudsburgs

This ia a rant,nothing more. But I'm betting that Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg, both small towns in Pennsylvania have the worst roads in all the nation. I expect that the roads in the Stroudsburgs are better than those of the Afghan mountains but I'm not sure.

There's not a single road which has not been patched and repatched to the degree that the road appears asphalt quilted. These roads will rattle your shocks, they rattle your teeth, they rattle your tie rods and bearings, and they can shake the paint from your car.

For that matter, most of the people who live in Stroudsburgs drive pickup trucks. Only the heavier, larger pickup trucks can surve these roads, however. The smaller pickups soon become trashed just like the other vehicles.

Of course, the tire replacement stores and the suspension parts stores are doing well but there are many people who cannot afford new tires, struts, tie rods.

The "city" makes all kind of useless expenditure but no one wants to fix the roads. It's the other guys' jobs. Whenever you do see a road crew, it's a large one but it's not working. The road crews look at the roads with malevolent resentment. Make no mistake about it, though; if you see a road crew, you can be sure that road crew is tearing up the roads, not fixing them.

Bump, bump, rattle, rattle--the tourists bypass the towns if they're smart--on the way to the gambling casino at Mount Airy.

Citi sells hedge fund businesses to SkyBridge Hedge Funds - MarketWatch

Citi sells hedge fund businesses to SkyBridge Hedge Funds - MarketWatchSo I'm skeptical about stocks in spite of bounce back which sems to have everyone enthused. I got killed in our index fund and took the emotional exit, dropping out, cementing my losses. That's what you're not supposed to do. Another way of looking at it is that I'm paying for my heart. I'm angry, very angry, and it's likely I'll remain angry.

On the other hand, I had good luck in playing around with small quantities of individual stocks. The first thing I did was buy and sell a local bank stock. I held it for over a year so it would be taxed at a lower rate but I made about 23 percent in profit. Not bad for a rank amateur.

Continuing my blunders, I tucked away a portion of those earnings and put a bit into (you'll laugh) Ford. Essentially, I could only afford "beat up" stocks--cheap. Everyone laughed at me. It was hard to believe the amount of scorn to which I was subjected if I announced this to anyone. I got lucky in the timing. I sold the Ford at a good profit...don't remember exactly.... but then it dropped in price so I bought it again. Again, I made money. I sold Ford short, however; I would have made a lot more if I'd held on to it but still I was happy. A bird in hand. I felt like I'd got over. And then I bought Citi--- Well, I thought they'd finally got me. Citi dropped, dropped further, and kept dropping. I felt bad, afraid to mention it to my wife who had set a strict gambling limit. I bought some more Citi stock.

It took a while, but not Citi "C" is being productive--in its own way. It's not earning anything--has no P/E and no EPS. But the price jump has put me into the black and then some. It's likely I'll hold on for quite some time as the whole business takes too much time. I think Citi will be good investment in the long term.

Citibank announced today it was selling its hedge fund to Skybridge. Good riddance. I hate hedge funds (though they're necessary) because they always make me think of George Soros.

Anyway, here's the story from the Wall Street Journal. Click on the headline--it'll open up.

How's that Obama "Engagement" Working Out for You?

I’m willing to accept that there was something to be gained by the “Nuclear Summit” just held by President Obama but they forgot something.  Iran.   The administration knows that Iran, if it doesn’t already have a bomb, will have one soon, and they consciously choose to ignore it, to leave the problems for the next president.   Obama so desperately wants to be perceived as the bearer of the holy olive branch of peace in the world that he’ll let America be pushed around on the world stage by Ahmadinajad.   How does the president trust so much that Ahmadinajad won’t hand off a bomb to terrorists?   He doesn’t, but yet he’s willing to put off doing anything about it so that he can hold on to his narcissistic vision of presidential greatness.

 

A great vision it is not.   Obama looks more like the Fool on the Hill than the president of the United States, and America’s enemies are well aware of his foolishness.   Syria’s dictator, Bashir Assad, is taking advantage of Obama’s feeble-mindedness.  Assad’s new assist to Terror Inc.  is to provide Hizbollah with Scud missiles with a 465 mile range.  Hizbollah terrorists are destructive enough with their current missile range of 60 miles—the new Scud missiles will improve its capabilities of destroying Israel.   

 

Obama’s response to this has been to reward Syria with a new ambassador.   Previously, the Bush administration had blocked the appointment of an ambassador to Syria and the Bush White House had also implemented a program of sanctions which Obama ordered now to be loosened. 

 

Of course, this is “leadership” in ObamaLand.   Click your heels and spin around three times.  When you couple it with the recent tragic and club-footed diplomatic insult of Israel’s President Netanyahu, you’ve got to think Obama’s sure to get another Nobel Prize.

Batting in Left Field Now: President Obama's Supreme Court

“Get me somebody who’s sympathetic to the people who voted for me!,” said President Obama.  Well, that’s a slight interpretation but not a “mis” interpretation.   Obama has already shown the degree to which he is willing to go against what Americans want in signing the 1-party Health Care Tax and Reform scam.  

 

Here’s the President’s Help Wanted Ad:

 

Wanted:  Supreme Court Justice candidate.  Must be able to cry on cue.  Gun control background necessary but willing to train declared moderates.   American citizenship not required, but illegal aliens are barred from the job, unfortunately.   Willing to train, however.  

 

Must be sympathetic to the following causes:  renewables of any type,  gay marriage, snail darter,  convicted criminals (see Victims in Obama lexicon), enemy combatants, and Islamists (note: veting process will ensure that Islamist and “terrorist” will not be used in same context).

 

Must be opposed to:  nuclear power, coal gasification, Israeli (soon to be renamed “Zionism) capitalism of all types,  U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, especially 1^st and 2^nd Amendments, but could include 10^th Amendment.

 

More details to be published as discussions with Iran continue. 

 

 

Confused Democrat Bart Stupak Quits Job

I’d like to see a poll of who is the most confused Democrat of all.  My guess would be Bart Stupak, who is the latest Democrat Party casualty of promising “no” but voting “yes.”   I hope he can get his confusion straightened out.  Then perhaps he can stop smearing dissident voices who felt that the health care vote was dishonest and that the bill was patently deceptive.   I imagine Bart Stupak could relate to that, and why should he quite therefore?

 

Of course, Stupak had to sing a swan song, perorating about how mean and vicious anti-Obama forces had created a hostile environment for him.   Another smear job, of course, and another indication of party denial. 

 

You don’t hear people like Stupak actually defending the health care bill.  I suppose that’s because there is no health care in it, just taxes, and Medicare cuts.   Democrats need to avoid such issues, just as they need to avoid the unemployment rate increased by failed stimulus policies. 

 

 Instead, you hear these mostly made up stories about how opposition to President Obama’s policies are rooted in racism.  The racism drama gets some fantastic embellishments from people who believe they are helping Democrats by advancing this blighted scenario.  I never respond to that rot because of what I know in my heart.   What need is there of reaction?   The racist narrative, so popularized in the smarmy lame-stream press, is just a white liberal fig-leaf covering a small you-know-what.  What?  J

 

So Boo-hoo, another Democratic wobbler goes hobbling off into the sunset.   Whatever his personal beliefs were, and who really knows except himself, he should not have misled his small contingent of Democrats.  

 

I hope Democrat Jason Altmire gets re-elected.   There is an hones man.  I don’t agree with him, but I have a great deal of respect for him. 

 

So buh-bye, Bart Stupak, and good riddance!

Israel's Bibi Netanyahu Kicks Nuclear Sumit to the Curb

Apologize for America, alienate your friends, and embrace your enemies is now established policy of the Obama administration.   Let there be no doubt of this.    The pathetic treatment of Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu stands as a symbol of the low visionary politics promulgated by this administration.

 

Obama’s intifada has gained strength in the Arab world and Iran, Turkey, and Egypt have taken Obama’s supplications as a signal to continue and expand attacks on the only Democracy in the Middle East.  

 

Bibi’s no punk, however, and with a bit more dignity than Obama could muster in bringing the Israeli leader through the servant’s quarters of the White House,  Netanyahu told the WH to go screw.    Just because the Obama administration is masochistic and enjoys being whipped doesn’t mean that pride and integrity should be lost around the world.  

 

There’s absolutely no reason Israel should walk into what is a patent ambush, a political dog and pony show designed to demonstrate Obama’s ability to sacrifice integrity at the altar of appeasement.

 

Our America suffers at this stupidity and there is only one thing to be remembered.   The only thing to be gained by selling your friends to the alligators is that you’re the last one eaten.

Female Suicide Bombers Strike Main Subway Line in Moscow

Female Suicide Bombers Strike Main Subway Line in Moscow I had to tune BBC America this morning to get the story about the suicide bombings on the downtown Moscow subway. The U.S. coverage at 6:00 a.m. was limited to a “crawl” at the bottom of the screen. When the U.S. television stations did finally begin broadcasting the story, CNN treated the story as if it were a teaser for “American Idol.” Wait until we tell you why New York City is tightening surveillance on the subways this morning!

Yes, Pelosi is fatuous enough to have said that. I guess Prozac is plentiful in San Francisco. So the vote will occur in a few minutes and it will be fun to watch lock-step Democrats blindly walk the plank though most of the American people don't know this bill is a bad, contrived bill.

HOw can people believe Obama who promised that, if we passed his stimulus bill, unemployment wouldn't go above 8 percent.

Clashes in Jerusalem Mark Rising Tensions - NYTimes.com

Clashes in Jerusalem Mark Rising Tensions - NYTimes.comLeave it to the Obama administration to start an uprising in Jerusalem. After publicly berating the Israelis for building a housing development on Palestinian Jew side of Jerusalem, the Palestinian Arabs took it as a signal of support from Washington. Apparently, the President directed Hillary Clinton to call Netanyahu to complain of the timing, coinciding as it did with Joe Biden's visit.

The other coincidence, which really shows the tone-deafness of this administration, is the this is "IAW" (Israeli "Apartheid" Week) and and Islamist students are doing their anti-Semitic best to spread anti-Jewish propaganda on campuses around the country.

Of course, this far loony-left administration has been anti-Israel in both thought and deed, in spite of what the president may have said to AIPAC before he was elected.

Of course, the Palestinian Arabs are the same people who went to Hitler to ask if they could help with the roundup of the Jews.

Rather than look for the Israelis to apologize, President Obama should apologize, unless like Jesse Jackson, he believes that thoughts like mine come from "Hymietown."

I'm not Jewish but today we should all be Jewish.

Obama's There for Cancer Patient

President Obama is trundling off to Ohio with his entourage in tow. He tells the crowd he's there for a cancer patient who couldn't get health insurance. Trust me, Obama's there for Obama.

If the President so much wants a Health Care Bill, he should do it in such a way that doesn't freeze out more than half the country. I guess that would mean much needed tort reform, making insurance competitive by buying insurance across state lines, getting rid of public pay for abortion, and finding out what the other half of the country wants. Not likely with Obama, surrounded by sychophants.

The latest is that Axelrod et al are trying to scapegoat Rahm Emmanuel for the impasse. Why not the Israelis? They're proving to be a handy scapegoat for an administration which kow-tows to enemies and disparages friends.

Pelosi: Swamp Creature

Ya’ gotta’ wonder.  Didn’t Nanzi (sp) Pelosi say she wanted to “drain the swamp?”  So how come Wrangel’s still lurking, with his 4 New York City rent-controlled apartments and the income he’s stolen from taxpayers?   Not to mention another ½ million in income he forgot to declare.

 

Speaking of swamp creatures, Nanzi Bytoxic should look into the activities of Pennsylvania representative Paul Kanjorski.   Kanjorski routinely spreads the pork grease around to relatives and cronies in the habitually public monies addicted Lackawanna and Wyoming Valleys near Scranton and Wilkes-Barre.

Left Wing California 9-11 Conspiracy Theorist Shoots Pentagon Officers

Dancing With David Paterson

On MSNBC this morning,  New York Times’ Thomas Friedman ditched any remaining credibility he had by declining to answer Joe Scarborough’s question:

 

“Do you think David Paterson should resign?”

 

Duh, tough one!   The brain-fat and pompous liberal narcissist said he wasn’t going to comment on that.   Why not?   Was he involved somehow?  In his mind, Friedman thinks he’s so important that he can’t even comment on the obvious.  As if his words would resound around the world and he would face difficulties in this occupation for commenting.   Isn’t that what he is?  A commentator?   

 

This is just about as good a scandal as Spitzer and his whores.   Paterson has adopted as a protégé a six foot seven body man who likes to beat his “bitches” down.   I suppose that Paterson was initially trying to do a “good thing” by helping a young kid very long ago. Unfortunately, the kid was psychologically unbalanced and, now a man, likes to smack women around.

 

So when one woman presses for a protection order, our second morally degenerate New York governor joins in a pressure campaign to whitewash the offense.   State police emissaries are sent.  The governor himself makes phone calls.   The woman is terrified but no one will listen.  The New York chapter of the National Organization of Women,  after heralding Paterson as a champion of women’s rights, has to step in to call for Paterson’s resignation.  

 

Meanwhile, smarmy liberal “thinkers” like Friedman are silent on the issue and that’s the big problem with the liberal line these days.   It’s bogus, phony, a cover-up.

 

 

Democrats Love Our Enemies; Hate Our Friends

In keeping with its policies of embracing America’s enemies and crapping on its friends, Obama and his desperate Democrats in the House of Representatives passed a resolution which condemned “Armenian Genocide” of 90 plus years ago.   Will that soon be followed by another resolution condemning slavery and the Jim Crow laws?   Or how about another resolution condemning the Walking Purchase which ripped off a good part of the Eastern Frontier in the 1700s?   

 

It’s just sooooo important to recognize that this Congress has its fingers on the most pressing issues America faces. 

Alienating the Turks, who have recently increased their support of the U.S. effort in Afghanistan, is just another of the idiotic brain-dead actions of a failed administration.   It’s most disgusting, competing with such idiocy as court martialing a U.S. Navy Seal for capturing terrorist scum who tortured, maimed, desecrated, and murdered Americans who freed Iraq from the vicious tyrant Saddam Hussein.
