Nobel Laureates and Texas Cowboys
Victor Davis Hanson "And as Obama must have anticipated, there are now no more antiwar rallies and Hollywood movies, no more anguished op-eds about either an imperial, warmongering America or a virtual police state at home. A raging Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan are distant memories. We once read that Bush as a wartime president frivolously played too much golf; we don’t read that Obama has played more golf in one year than Bush did in eight."
Why reporters are down on Obama
Politico ".“These are people who came in with every reporter giving them the benefit of the doubt,” said another reporter who regularly covers the White House. “They’ve lost all that goodwill.” And this attitude, many believe, starts with the man at the top. Obama rarely lets a chance go by to make a critical or sarcastic comment about the press, its superficiality or its short-term mentality. He also hasn’t done a full-blown news conference for 10 months."
Obama’s April 15th Speech at Kennedy Space Center
Commander Merlin Hat tip to Mary Torrens "Obama started out his day visiting the KSC area by avoiding the workers. Though NASA and United Space Alliance had sent down word that no personal opinions of the employees would be allowed (also no twitter, Facebook, or talking with the media) or tolerated, many of the workers, from what I’ve been told, had left their jobs briefly to line the road and express their “opinion” of Obama’s new policy. But Obama the coward took a back route in from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station to get to his teleprompter at the Operations and Checkout Building many miles away from the workers." Rocketman.
Sharpton and his crew descend on Arizona
Jeannie DeAngelis in AT "Either way, Sheriff Arpaio is on the job and ready outfit hair coiffed civil disobeyers in fashionable prison garb. So before Al makes a firm commitment to be arrested in Arizona maybe the reverend should cover all bases by making sure inmates of Tent City have Joe's permission to use hairspray."
Arizona stands alone
Top Calif. Lawmaker: Cut Ties With Arizona .....San Francisco City workers banned from official travel to Arizona .....LA Could Pass Arizona Boycott ..... On the other hand: Rep Wants AZ Immigration Law in Texas..... Then this from George Will: "Arizonans should not be judged disdainfully and from a distance by people whose closest contacts with Hispanics are with fine men and women who trim their lawns and put plates in front of them at restaurants, not with illegal immigrants passing through their back yards at 3 a.m."
