Time to Act Like a President

Washington Post "Obama lost credibility with his deadline-that-never-was, and now he threatens to lose some more with his posturing toward Iran. He has gotten into a demeaning dialogue with Ahmadinejad, an accomplished liar. ...Obama is our version of a Supreme Leader, not given to making idle threats, setting idle deadlines, reversing course on momentous issues, creating a TV crisis where none existed or, unbelievably, pitching Chicago for the 2016 Olympics.

This is too hard for you to deal with. The very idea that The Chosen one could possibly be wrong ... or, worse, actually lie to you is just too much for you to bear. So why don't you head over to The Daily Kos for your comfort food while people who actually care about the truth read on ....."

Death Panel or not?

Liberals ridicule the term "Death Panel" and say the term does not exist. But I ask you, who will make the decision Obama speaks of here? If it is a board (panel, I suggest.) of some sort that makes the decision to just give Grandma the pill, could they not be doing what a "death panel "would be required to do? The commenters blow it off, but reports from Canada and the UK do not support them. Victoria Taft with a hat tip to Lew Waters

The Brainy Bunch

Thomas Sowell , Townhall "Someone recently pointed out how much Barack Obama's style and strategies resemble those of Latin American charismatic despots-- the takeover of industries by demagogues who never ran a business, the rousing rhetoric of resentment addressed to the masses and the personal cult of the leader promoted by the media.

By David Kahane=NRO "I have a nightmare. I have a nightmare that sometime before the 2010 elections, the scales will fall from your eyes and you will see us as we really are.

Obama's Work Ethic

By Ed Lasky American Thinker "Is this why he dithers in the face of major geopolitical challenges? Is he afraid of making a mistake? Can he just vote present as President? Is this why he outsources so much domestic policy to Congress and foreign policy to the United Nations?
