The Five Obama Fails

American Thinker "Nearly one year later we have an economy heading in the wrong direction, unemployment rising, a deficit that will double, banks failing, a war command which is virtually ignored, 911 terrorists given all the rights at a civil trial and an Administration hell bent on destroying rather than "reforming" the world's best health system. Not a bad day for an experienced community organizer."

Another conversation with Scott Fenstermaker (Lawyer for two Gitmo "detainees")

Hot Air "I think you’re arguing over semantics. Almost 3,000 people died, most of them on national television. They didn’t commit suicide or die of natural causes. They died at the hands of others, which makes them homicides. Who’s responsible is a question for a jury, but not the fact that they were murdered, nor do we need a jury to tell us that the nation has an interest in pursuing justice in the case."

He Can't Take Another Bow;

Peggy Noonan , WSJ  ""...a critical mass of influential people who once held big hopes for his presidency began to wonder whether they had misjudged the man." They once held "an unromantically high opinion of Obama," and were key to his rise, but now they are concluding that the president isn't "the person of integrity and even classiness they had thought.""

Mad Magazine Attacks Palin as a ‘Delusional’ ‘Blunder Woman’

Newsbusters "It doesn't matter whether it's Spider-Man giving the fist bump to President Obama or New Jersey kids singing Dear Leader's praises, the left likes to indoctrinate the young. The latest example is Mad Magazine trying to make former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin look foolish and "dangerously delusional." "

Young Scientist 'Disheartened' by Climategate

Newsbusters "That would lead students entering scientific pursuits to logically fear that: The quality of their work, and ultimately their career progress, will be judged not on rigor or merit, but on how well that work fits pre-existing templates. If their work is at first supported but then called into doubt, they will be pressured to tamper with or conceal underlying research data to refute and rebuff doubters instead of engaging their arguments. They may end up in constant, daily, stressful battle with colleagues whose primary interest is in advancing political or ideological agenda.

Figures. Obama’s Personal Physician Friend Was a Marxist, Too

Gateway Pundit "The push to socialize US Heathcare came, not from from the “people”, but from small clique of Marxists, led by a man with close persional ties to president Barack Obama."...."Quentin Young is one of America’s most committed socialists, beginning with his time in the Young Communist League in late 1930s Chicago."

White House Science Czar Involved in Climategate

Newsmax "You haven’t heard it from America’s mainstream media yet – even Fox News hasn’t covered it – but the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Dr. John P. Holdren, is a key player in the Climategate e-mails flap, which is shaping up as the biggest scandal in the history of modern science."

Obama's Tattered Coattails

Weekly Standard "Second, political mobilization successes that propel one party into power are usually followed by counter-mobilizations against them. This year's Tea Party movement and other demonstrations of public opposition to the Obama/Democratic agenda are examples of Americans choosing activism in response to political events, much in the same way citizens mobilized for the Obama campaign last year."

How can barbarians accuse our troops of torture?

UpPompeii "Why is it that when Saddam Hussein was in power in Iraq and the central Baghdad Prison - better known as Abu Ghraib was full of people he did not like who were tortured, abused, killed, raped and generally just left to die the Arab/Muslim countries said absolutely NOTHING and let the abuses continue?"

US names secret terror suspects

USS Neverdock "More damage to our national security by Obama. The BBC reports. "The US military has begun notifying the Red Cross of the identities of terror suspects being held at secret camps in Iraq and Afghanistan, reports say.""
