Desperate measures on the left
By Thomas Lifson "The left is quite properly terrified of the widespread and broad-based populist movement building in America in opposition to Obama's transformation strategy. They never counted on this happening. Expert astroturfers themselves, they are not really familiar with the notion of a genuinely popular political movement."
Madeleine Albright: "America Has No Intention of Being First Nation of the World"
Gateway Pundit "Madeleine Albright, a democratic expert on foreign policy, let her hair down during a recent speech to Russian students in Omsk." They must have wondered how could they lose the cold war to THESE people?
Obama shoots self in foot on Mideast negotiations
By Leo Rennert "So, as a prelude to negotiations, Obama demanded an absolute Israeli construction freeze in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, a start by Arab nations toward normalization with Israel, and moves by the Palestinian Authority to dismantle terrorist groups and put an end to anti-Israel incitement in PA organs. The big new wrinkle, however, was Obama pressuring Israel to make significant concessions -- even before there was any resumption of negotiations and while he was being snubbed and publicly humilitated by Arab leaders and Abbas..." Hubris: noun; excessive pride or self-confidence; arrogance.
UN General Assembly urges Israel to accept nuclear inspections
By Rick Moran "In short, this is a 180 degree flip in policy on the part of the US who apparently did nothing to stop the vote. The last time it was tried in 1991, the measure was soundly defeated.But a new team is in charge in Washington - a team that apparently believes that lumping an ally with our enemies is perfectly alright."
Holder throwing in the towel on CIA investigation?
Clarice Feldman "Either way, he looks foolish. If we accept the "government source's" version of the events, it's a good thing he decided to cut his losses early on this one. He would be well advised to seek new legal counsel though, because whoever told him reopening these cases was the thing to do is an idiot."
AP warns Democrats: Time to ease off on the race-baiting
Hot Air "The left has gotten tremendous mileage out of it over the years, but to be this cynical about it when there are clear majorities with serious concerns about health-care reform is practically an admission to independents that it’s little more than a type of McCarthyism." With more wisdom from Charles Krauthammer, Then there's this: 1963? Good grief.
McCain: Carter worst president in 20th century
Hot Air "What other President in American history allowed dozens of embassy staff to be held hostage for over a year? What other President kissed a totalitarian on the cheek and pronounced American fears of Soviet Communism overblown?..."
Target Of NYC Bomb Plot Probe Admits Terror Ties
WCBS "The operative told Zazi what to say if stopped by police, and there is also a reference to a "wedding," which American agents believe is a code word for an attack. " Maybe they waterboarded him. Naaaa.

A Tackle Box Full of Race Bait
By Jonah Goldberg= "And, yes, a tiny, tiny fraction of the signs at the Tea Party protests last weekend were racially insensitive. But if that’s how we’re going to score, then opposition to the Iraq War is anti-Semitic. After all, I saw a bunch of signs at antiwar protests that said bigoted things about Jews."
The Left, Too Left
By Victor Davis Hanson "We have elected the most left-wing president in our history, apparently to many an unappreciated fact given the Bush unpopularity, the wars, the so-so McCain candidacy...is being revealed to the American people — and they are not comfortable with it."
