Obama vs. Obama

The Weekly Standard  "Not long ago, Obama warned that raising taxes in a struggling economy is "the last thing you want to do.""....
"Obama agreed with Ferguson’s premise – raising taxes in a recession is a bad idea. “First of all, he’s right. Normally, you don’t raise taxes in a recession, which is why we haven’t and why we’ve instead cut taxes. So I guess what I’d say to Scott is – his economics are right. You don’t raise taxes in a recession. We haven’t raised taxes in a recession.”"
"Todd reminded Obama that he had promised to raise taxes on “some of the wealthiest” Americans."

Alan Caruba: Casey Anthony, Miss America

Warning Signs "We live in a society where toddlers are dressed provocatively, adorned with adult makeup, and paraded in contests as objects of desire. We have gone from Shirley Temple to JonBenet Ramsey.

"We have gone from a preponderance of traditional two-parent families to a scandal of single-parent “families” and Casey Anthony was just one of many such single mothers. No one knows who the father is. "

SPIN METER: Obama, Dems skirt issue on tax hikes

Boston.com  "Proposals under consideration include raising taxes on small business owners and potentially low- and middle-income families. You won't hear about that from Obama. Instead the president focuses on the very rich, and speaks euphemistically. Here are a few of the phrases the president has used of late to talk about what amounts to raising taxes for some:"...

Obama's Narcissism Made Worse in First Year in Office  "Another sign of Obama’s growing malignant narcissism is his lowered Adversity Tolerance Threshold. I compared the number of times he snapped at critics and journalists during the election campaign and after he became President. The frequency of such temper tantrums has increased, though not drastically. Obama is still maintaining thespian self-control when it comes to the media and to his carefully-cultivated public image. Where he doesn’t bother anymore to project benevolence and maturity is with his staff: he is markedly and openly more aggressive and dismissive of his co-workers, underlings, crew, and team, clearly relishing his quasi-sadistic outbursts and their public verbal whipping."  Dr. Sam Vaknin   Dr. Vaknin is the subject of this article in Snopes.com.

Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuehrer  "I was not impressed by Sen. Barack Obama after the first time I saw him. At first I was excited to see a black candidate. He looked youthful, spoke well, appeared to be confident – a wholesome presidential package. It is so instinctive for most people to want to see blacks succeed. It is as if all humanity is carrying a collective guilt for what the ancestors of blacks endured. However, despite my initial interest in him, I was soon put off, not just because of his shallowness but also because there was an air of haughtiness in his demeanor that was unsettling. His posture and his body language were louder than his empty words."  By Ali Sina
 

"When criticized, Obama's soul can be seen in his eyes."

Response to Embassy Attack Will Be Crucial

Jonathan S. Tobin  "Like his Iranian allies, Assad appears to take a dim view of the Obama administration’s seriousness when it comes to such confrontations. Since Washington has been careful up until this moment to not rile him too much, Assad clearly believes the U.S. will back down in the face of a physical threat to American personnel. The question now for Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is whether they are prepared to answer this provocation in a manner the Syrians will understand. If they do not act now to convince the Syrians to back down, the cost to the West and its friends may be measured in blood rather than broken glass."

Is Simple Attention the Islamists’ Greatest Enemy?

jihadwatch.org

Raymond Ibrahim  "In short, politically active Islamists must walk a fine line, must choose their fights carefully: if they scream bloody murder to silence free speech — scream “racist,” “hater,” “Islamophobe” — they risk bringing unwanted attention that backfires on them; yet if they sit back and do nothing, they risk having more and more people speak up and expose them.
"Either way — whether CAIR or its un-stifled opponents make the noise — the result is the same: Americans, wondering why Islam is always in the spotlight, begin inquiring; some become acquainted with reality, and go on to discuss it with friends and family.

"The cycle of slow but steady awareness that first began when 9/11 got the world’s attention continues."

WSJ: Let’s not forget Obama’s already-imposed new taxes

Hot Air  "Obama keeps saying that he has cut taxes, but the Journal reminds people that Obama has raised taxes, too — and in key ways that impact capital.  The ObamaCare bill will raise taxes in a number of unpleasant ways, all in support of vast new federal spending and regulatory adventurism, with these just a few of the worst:"....
"While Obama wanted Boehner to put higher tax rates on the line for a deal, the President wasn’t willing to part with any of ObamaCare’s new taxes or spending.  The White House did agree to tax reform in exchange for temporarily higher rates, but over the weekend, the Journal smelled a rat — or maybe just paid attention to history:"

 An Economy in Panic  

"President Obama habitually refers to the failed economic policies of the past. The pace of America’s economic recovery is unacceptable, and it’s being made worse by the Obama Administration’s adherence to a flawed philosophy of relying on government to do the work of the private sector. Obama should be more concerned with the failed economic policies of the present – his own. A new direction is in order."

Obama White House in Sheer Desperation About Economy  " The Obama administration cannot deny the dismal economic data, so they’re trying to make the figures irrelevant. It is akin to someone who wants to break the thermometer because they want to deny the fever.
"It’s a silly and unsustainable game the Obama White House is playing – and a sign of the sheer desperation that is now engulfing it." Peter Wehner in Commentary
