Is Obama finding humility?

American Thinker "He is being forced back to the center by a center-right people, just not as fast or as easy.He misread the populace and overplayed his radical views. Maybe he is catching a glimpse of how the world sees him - as their weak American presidential novelty that can be moved towards the world agenda with ease, and thus weaken America in the process." The lesson I see is that the Democrat Party cannot be trusted to lead a free people.

Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez

Townhall
Obama, the empty-suit Nobel laureate
"His "open hand" approach to Iran has been met with disdain by the ayatollahs, and his failure to support Iranian protesters seeking freedom was roundly and justly criticized."

Barack Obama wasn’t ready to be president, and he better figure out what he’s doing before it’s too late.

Daily Beast "His jobs speech demonstrated that he is flexible enough to shift gears when necessary. And his Nobel address was a masterful defense of America's role as the guarantor of global peace and stability. It was a speech any president would have been proud to give, and it's one that Democrats and Republicans have already applauded. "

Clinton to Latin America: 'think twice' about Iran ties

Yahoo News h/t to Weasel Zippers whence cometh this quote: "Pathetic state of affairs when Pant Suits is the most competent member of an administration, sadly as in this case, she has no back up from her boss..... " Competent? How about that "reset" button?

O'Reilly vs. "Law & Order SVU"

Big Hollywood “No accident it happened on NBC, which is propaganda central in the U.S.A. It’s also the lowest rated network.”

Greta Van Susteren on Obama: He’s a Liar

Gateway Pundit "Greta Van Susteren played a number of clips tonight from the 2008 campaign where Barack Obama told supporters that he was going to hold his health care talks on CSPAN. Obviously, that never happened. After playing the video Greta looked at Karl Rove and said, “It was a lie.”"

Get Global Warming Out of Our Schools

American Thinker "We cannot wait for politicians or activists to do any more damage to our future generation. "Global warming" is not just an objectionable and discredited scientific theory. Teachers are grafting the loony climate-change premise onto lifestyle, religion, and politics in "science" classrooms. It cannot stand."

Why Are Tiger’s Women Getting a Pass?

Pajamas Media "What is new is a celebrity-infatuated culture that encourages such behavior through the promotion of female promiscuity as empowerment. But while these women will enjoy their fifteen minutes of fame, they will feel a sense of emptiness inside. As these women slip into middle age they will find that their false sense of empowerment has faded, with the men now able to pick and choose. The tables will be turned and many will end up alone, in a “sisterhood” not by choice. But a man-less future is what the radical feminists wanted all along. That’s why “home-wrecker” holds no currency anymore."

Obama theme: incompetence?

Hot Air "Who could have warned us that a man who served seven years in the state legislature and three years in the Senate would not have been prepared for the toughest executive position in the Free World? We did. Repeatedly. So did John McCain, and for that matter, so did Hillary Clinton."

CAIR Attorney Demands Ban and Seizure of all Christmas Cards sent to Rifqa Bary BUMPED: with documentation

Atlas Shrugs "In a stunning development in the ongoing legal saga of Muslim-turned-Christian convert Rifqa Bary, the parents' attorney, Omar Tarazi, filed a motion with the Franklin County courts last week moving to ban on all Christmas cards being sent to Rifqa through her attorneys, and demanding the seizure from her of all Christmas cards that she might have already received." Rifqa Bary background info Only time will tell if this is a silly movement or not. Is she in danger? Is she a serious believer in Christ's atonement?

EPA threat gets little MSM press coverage

Newsbusters- "The Obama administration is warning Congress that if it doesn't move to regulate greenhouse gases, the Environmental Protection Agency will take a "command-and-control" role over the process in a way that could hurt business."Also: EPA chief: U.S. making up for lost time.

Are We to Be Led in War by a "Tiger" or a Kitten?

Victor Davis Hanson "And when a war leader visibly regrets the situation he has found himself in — rather than being determined to prevail in the struggle at hand — that hesitancy inevitably ripples through the ranks. Think of the British or French war effort between September 1939 and May 1940, or America in Vietnam between 1964 and 1969. Chamberlain was no Churchill, and LBJ, like it or not, was not a Nixon, at least when it came to trying to win in Vietnam."
