Obama In 2004: Dismisses Job Creation Of 310,000 New Jobs

RealClearPolitics  "After the economy added 310,000 jobs in May 2004 and the unemployment rate was 5.6%, then-candidate Barack Obama used the Democrat weekly radio address to attack the Bush administration for citing good economic numbers."

Neal Boortz's Unified grand theory for voting democrat:  

People vote for Democrats because they believe that Democrats will give them access to other people’s money.

...."Let’s just try this theory out on some more visible Democrat sycophants. How about the class warfare crowd. Are they really upset that some people make a lot of money? Really, no. They’re upset that it’s OTHER people making that money, not them. The folks who rail against capitalism and profits? Profits aren’t the problem. Who gets to spend the profits … THAT’s the problem. The rich need to pay “their fair share” of taxes? It’s not a question of the rich not paying their fair share, it’s a question of the government getting more money out of the evil rich so that it can be spread around among Democrat voters."

Krauthammer: The imperial presidency revisited

Charles Krauthammer  "... the court’s Arizona immigration decision, issued three days earlier, remains far more significant than appreciated. It was generally viewed as mixed or ambiguous because the Justice Department prevailed in striking down three of the law’s provisions. However, regarding the law’s central and most controversial element — requiring officers to inquire into the immigration status of anyone picked up for some other violation — the ruling was definitive, indeed unanimous.

No liberal-conservative divide here. The smackdown was 8-0. (Justice Elena Kagan recused herself.) Not a single justice found merit in the administration’s claim that this “show me your papers” provision constituted an impermissible preemption of federal authority.

...."The Department of Health and Human Services issues Obamacare regulations treading so heavily on the free-exercise rights of Catholic institutions that Obama’s own allies rebel. The new regulation concocted to tame the firestorm blithely orders private insurers to provide free contraceptives to employees of the objecting religious institutions. By what possible authority does a president order private companies to provide free services? To say nothing of the 1,200 Obamacare waivers granted with royal arbitrariness according to the (political) whims of an HHS secretary."

Obama and his foreign policy

From Foreign Affairs: How Obama Lost Canada  "But instead of acting on economic logic, the Obama administration caved to environmental activists in November 2011, postponing until 2013 the decision on whether to allow the pipeline.

"Obama’s choice marked a triumph of campaign posturing over pragmatism and diplomacy, and it brought U.S.-Canadian relations to their lowest point in decades. It was hardly the first time that the administration has fumbled issues with Ottawa. Although relations have been civil, they have rarely been productive. Whether on trade, the environment, or Canada’s shared contribution in places such as Afghanistan, time and again the United States has jilted its northern neighbor. "

Russian bomber intrusion near Pacific coast is second in two weeks...  "The U.S. defense official called the latest Bear H incident near the U.S. West Coast “Putin’s Fourth of July Bear greeting to Obama.”

Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, a former Alaska commander for the North American Aerospace Defense Command, said the latest Bear H intrusion appears to be Russian military testing.  

“It’s becoming very obvious that Putin is testing Obama and his national security team,” 

....McInerney said the Bear H flights are an effort by the Russians to challenge U.S. resolve, something he noted is “somewhat surprising as Obama is about to make a unilateral reduction of our nuclear forces as well as major reductions in our air defense forces.”

“Actions by Russia in Syria and Iran demonstrate that Cold War strategy may be resurrected,” he said.

“These are not good indications of future U.S. Russian relations.”...Via Drudge.
The attached cartoon must come with the following caveat: it implies that Clinton is the foreign policy expert. But bear in mind she is still a liberal Democrat and the tool of the American left, which feels this nation is to roll over and never assert itself to the enemy because we deserve anything that comes to us.

DOT Construction Signs Hacked To Read 'Impeach Obama'

Channel 2 News, Anchorage   "Signs that normally display closure and detour information, like the one on Minnesota Drive near 100th Avenue, were changed to read “Impeach Obama.” That particular sign wasn’t fixed until sometime between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. Thursday.

"It happened because DOT says it doesn't lock the boxes on the signs that hold the message control pad.

"Construction managers say sign-hacking has never happened before, so they never thought to lock the boxes.

"DOT says that changed this morning, and now all of them will be locked."
Well, not exactly hacked in the geek sense; more like someone opened the panel and made a software change. As you drive America's highways, expect to see these with locks on them from now on.
