Hanson: Who Are These Fat-Cat Few at the Top?

Victor Davis Hanson  "So do we really want to go down this them-vs.-us road? Using a new financial red line to crudely divide us is a tricky business. Those most likely to fly in corporate jets are precisely the elite who show up at the president’s mega-fundraisers and play golf with him on the world’s most exclusive courses — or visit Martha’s Vineyard and Vail, where the first family sometimes vacations. They don’t all wear pinstripes and Gucci, but may hang out at Occupy Wall Street rallies as actors, rappers, and filmmakers in jeans and baseball caps.
"In a larger sense, we should remember a few things about the new orchestrated envy of, and animosity toward, the better-off. Most Americans each day depend on our medical care, our retirement packages, our food, our gas, and our computers from exactly these “few at the top” who seem to enrich rather than prey on society."

Sarkozy admits he 'can't stand' Israeli premier. Obama: You're fed up with him? I have to deal with him every day! (Updated)

YNET  "The surprising lack of coverage may be explained by a report alleging that journalists present at the event were requested to sign an agreement to keep mum on the embarrassing comments. A Reuters reporter was among the journalists present and can confirm the veracity of the comments.
"A member of the media confirmed Monday that "there were discussions between journalists and they agreed not to publish the comments due to the sensitivity of the issue." "

FT.com  "John McCain, the influential senator and Republican presidential candidate in 2008, said that the reported conversation was “indicative of some of the policies towards Israel that this administration has been part of”. "

Israel Matzav  "Someone needs to put in Barack Hussein Obama's campaign notes for 2012 not to meet with French President Nicolai Sarkozy. As you can see from the picture [left] and the post below, Sarkozy brings out the worst in Obama."

"The French website which broke the story is here. Here's a translation of it that someone sent me."
Nétanyahou "menteur" : la conversation secrète Obama-Sarkozy  "As an aside, isn't it amusing that Google translated le President Americain as "Bush"?"

The HillGOP lawmaker says Obama should apologize to Netanyahu   "Grimm's call for Obama to apologize falls in line with the GOP's overall response to the comments. Republicans in the past have capitalized on a somewhat tense relationship between Obama and Netanyahu on Paliestine and argued that Obama could be a better ally to Israel.
"Over Twitter, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said that Obama does not want to work with Israel so "let's elect someone who will." "

Gingrich Schools NBC's Curry on Liberal Media Obsession With Cain Controversy

Newsbusters  "Well, that will be up to the American people. If they conclude that anonymous allegations from people who don't want to be identified, involving purely civil activities, that the American people could well decide that they want a solution-oriented leader more than they want a scandal. I think it has probably surprised most professionals that Herman has done as well as he has over the last week, but we'll see if this has legs or not. I think he's got to handle it his own way."

Updated: Herman Cain pictured and discussed

"Information is already coming out that could potentially raise questions about her motives. For example, she has a history of financial troubles and legal accusations:"...
In exploring all this, we must be careful not to treat Bialek in the same sleazy way Clinton's people -especially James Carville- treated the women who came out against his actions. But we also do not want to treat Mr. Cain as those same people treated Ken Starr. This article concludes with these words:
"Unfortunately, some Cain supporters have taken the criticism of Bialek to another level entirely by engaging in personal, sexist attacks. This was deplorable when Clinton’s supporters did it to his accusers, and it shouldn’t be tolerated by conservatives today."

They hugged each other backstage in a full embrace like old friends.
She grabbed his arm and whispered in his left ear.
She kept talking as he bent to listen, and he kept saying “Uh, huh. Uh, huh.”

Neal Boortz: Herman Cain's new accuser:   "Then, as now, Allred was concerned about one thing … promoting Gloria Allred.  Every single time we had a NARTSH convention we would know that at some time Gloria Allred was going to stage some sort of a publicity stunt to promote herself… usually during the awards luncheon."....
"Let’s add to the mix the fact that Allred is a stalwart leftist Democrat. "....

Now I’ve known Herman Cain for a number of years as well … though not 20. I am absolutely confident in the man’s character and honesty. I truly believe that his affable personality and consistent good humor was the impetus for those sexual harassment situations in the ‘90s. Some women had incredibly large chips on their shoulders – and were just waiting for any excuse at all to scream abuse.
"As for Gloria Allred’s blonde? I will predict that this will be shown to be a complete fraud. We’ll see."

"What he must do is gather up a couple of dozen very attractive women (for reference, please view a photo of his accuser, Ms. Bialek) who will state clearly, and for the record, that they worked with Herman Cain here, there and everywhere else with absolutely no hint of such behavior. If he were a serial predator, he'd be rather hard pressed to find 24 women who could make such a statement."
Brit Hume Calls Herman Cain’s Political Survival Over Sex Scandal ‘Almost Impossible’

Neil Braithwaite: Herman Cain: The mask is off  "Basically, Herman Cain's supporters seem to have a great deal of respect and trust for the man. They see him for what he has made himself out to be and are rewarding him with their loyal support.
"If nothing else, Herman Cain has been a breath of fresh air in the polluted atmosphere of Washington politics - and many Americans were just beginning to breath it all in."

“You need someone like me in Washington,”: Romney’s curious timing in his support for abortion

donkeyhotey
Collins Report  "During a September 2002 meeting with NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts Willard Romney made this implied promise, “You need someone like me in Washington.” "Both Willard and the baby killing ghouls of NARAL knew what was being discussed. He was running for Governor of Massachusetts and clearly looking past his anticipated victory to a day when he could stop pretending he cared about pro-life issues and show his true devotion to their “cause” from the White House."

And the article has this to say about Romneycare: 

"True to his promises to the abortionists in 2006 Romney passed his universal health care plan now known as Romneycare because it became the model for Obamacare. The language of the bill included increased state funds for abortions and Planned Parenthood was named as an overseer of the plan."
