Foxworthyish:Obama might be a socialist

Washington Times  "If [you] want to lower the cost of health care but left out tort reform, you might be a socialist lawyer.
"If you're a Columbia University professor and gave a student named Barack Obama an A in economics, you are definitely a socialist.
"And finally, in the eighth year of the Obama presidency, if Bangladesh is hosting "Aid America" concerts or you're standing in line for toilet paper, you have a socialist president.
"It's time to stand up and loudly call a socialist ... a socialist!"
Via Lucianne



Smearing Ryan's Medicare Plans

Paul Ryan
Washington Examiner  "It's also important to note that Medicare as we know it won't be around for future generations anyway, because it's financially unsustainable. So the real policy debate we need to having is whether we want to move in the liberal direction, which relies on higher taxes and more centrally-imposed cost controls, or a more free market approach in which taxes are kept low and health care costs are contained by creating a real consumer-driven market for health care. That debate is beyond the scope of this post, but the important point is that Medicare won't survive in its current form no matter what."

Obama Announces Reelection Bid

National Journal  "For all of these problems, though, Obama has enduring strengths. Americans like him, and they like the idea of him. They believe he has their best interests at heart. They seem to understand that he surrounds himself with people who genuinely want to search for solutions, even if they get them wrong. And he has significant accomplishments to his name: the New START arms control treaty with Russia, the advancement of civil rights for gays, an education policy that is promising, a financial reform bill that shows signs of being tougher than expected."

Why Hillary Clinton must run in 2012  "To be fair, Hillary voters never fell in love with Obama, they just fell in line. Their relationship is less like a Julia Roberts chick flick and more like a Bengali arranged marriage.
"Because of their arrangement, Hillary-loving Obama voters are quick to jump ship whenever Mr. Hope-and-Change looks like he's getting played again by his political opponents, is in over his head or is dissing their girl." Remember that Clinton is still a socialist; Obama just has a way of making her look like William Buckley.

Who Still Supports Obama?  "One other interesting thing to note about the study is how students plan to get information about the 2012 campaign. Their first source is major national newspapers, which I assume means the New York Times and I assume they read online. But their second source of information about the 2012 campaign will be Facebook and friend statuses. "

Stamp of approval?

American Thinker  A civilization that exalts and celebrates its rock-stars and movie actors over its soldiers and important leaders has forgotten obvious things and is beyond decaying...it has but mere decades left. If a country has lost its collective memory, it cannot know what it was that made it once great.
Have you looked at U.S. postage stamps recently? They are childish, silly, and racist."

TIME Mag Editor: Burning the Koran Is Worse Than Burning Bible

Ghosh/ Charlierose.com
Gateway Pundit  "Time Magazine world editor Bobby Ghosh told host MSNBC host Chuck Todd on Friday that burning the Koran is worse than burning the Bible. According to Gnosh, the Koran is directly from God, while the Bible isn’t."

Ghosh the Haditha "massacre" reporter  "Regular readers will recognize the name of the Muslim-born Aparisim ‘Bobby’ Ghosh.
"Mr. Ghosh, along with Tim McGirk gave us the ‘scoop’ libel that Marines had killed civilians in Haditha Iraq in cold blood. A report that turned out to be completely fabricated."  Hat tip to Rush Limbaugh
