The Strange Case of the Obama Meltdown

Victor Davis Hanson/ Pajamas Media "In exasperation I think Obama’s supporters will revert to the race card more often still, which in turn will only take his popularity even lower. Because of his inexperience and unfamiliarity with political hostility, I think Obama will press ahead on the present course, heightening partisan tensions, dividing the country, and ultimately diminishing his presidency further still. Again, the voters wanted youth, charisma, competence, fiscal sobriety, non-partisanship, and are getting radicalism with an increasing edge to it."

A Deck Stacked with Race Cards/ The great irony of the Obama presidency.

Jonah Goldberg, National Review= "That’s not transcending race, it’s using Obama’s race to bully the opposition into acquiescence. Actually transcending race would require treating Obama like any other president. Which is pretty much exactly what conservatives have been doing. Seriously, if Hillary Clinton were president, would conservatives really be rolling over for the same health-care plan because she’s white?"

Palin: 'No Health Care reform without legal reform'

American Thinker "Why no legal reform? Why continue to encourage defensive medicine that wastes billions of dollars and does nothing for the patients? Do you want health care reform to benefit trial attorneys or patients?"

Charlie Cook: Dem situation has 'slipped completely out of control'

Iraqi security forces collaborated with bombers

Breitbart "Zebari said Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki had ordered the arrest of 11 senior security officers on Thursday so they could be questioned on how a four-tonne truck had entered an area where even two-tonne vehicles were barred. "

Gov. David Paterson blames calls for him to step aside on race

NY Daily News "We're not in the post-racial period," Paterson said. "The reality is the next victim on the list - and you can see it coming - is President Barack Obama, who did nothing more than trying to reform a health care system."

Terrorists Go Scot Free/ The release of the Lockerbie terrorist is exactly what we should have expected.

By Andrew C. McCarthy National Review= "Obviously, the fecklessness of the Obama administration in response to Scotland’s release and Libya’s celebration of a terrorist who murdered 270 people, including 189 Americans, is outrageous. But the Obama administration is staffed with appeasers who all but ensure outcomes of this sort. What did we think the attitude of other countries was going to be when we put these folks in charge?"

Figures. Black Panther Who Threatened Voters In Philly Is a Credentialed Dem Poll Watcher

Gateway Pundit ""Mr. Jackson's MySpace page still lists one of his main 'general interests' as 'Killing Crakkkas.' Four days after the Justice Department dropped the complaint against Mr. Jackson, he again was named an official election poll watcher for the Democratic primary in Philadelphia's municipal election. How convenient." "

Passion Gives GOP An Edge In This Debate

IBD "This doesn't mean, though, that Americans look any more kindly upon the Republican Party — favorability for the GOP has been steady at 40% throughout the year, according to Pew.

Con: A Problem With Wind Power

AWEO.org "On a small scale, where a turbine directly supplies the users and the fluctuating production can be stored, wind can contribute to a home, school, factory, office building, or even small village's electricity. But this simply does not work on a large scale to supply the grid. Even the small benefits claimed by their promoters are far outstripped by the huge negative impacts."
