Funny: Press corps torments Gibbs again with questions about transparency

Hot Air "They’re gaming cost estimates, they’re bribing senators, they’re ignoring virtually every poll in the country showing massive disapproval. Why not extend the middle finger on transparency too? Are people going to go from enraged to really enraged or something?"

Not a shocker: Police department that “acted stupidly” endorses Brown

Hot Air "We do not endorse anyone who advocates changes in the health care that take away any bargaining rights or increases our cost along with our contributions. Senator Brown does not support the Comprehensive Healthcare Reform Bill and promises to be the 41st vote to ensure its defeat."

One Year Out: The Fall

Charles Krauthammer, Townhall "The reason for today's vast discontent, presaged by spontaneous national Tea Party opposition, is not that Obama is too cool or compliant but that he's too left. It's not about style; it's about substance. "

EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW?

Neal Boortz "Well, there's one American concept that certainly doesn't hold water with the Obama crowd. The idea our founding fathers had was pretty solid. The law would apply equally to every person in this country - rich or poor, weak or strong. There would be no privileged classes in this country to who the law would not apply. That's not the way it is with the Democrats and Obama."

OBAMA PANDERS TO THE WEALTH ENVY CROWD

Neal Boortz "Know this. Obama is anti-capitalist to his core. He does not now and never has liked free enterprise. Capitalism is "the enemy" to Barack Obama. He is dedicated to the destruction of America's free market economy ... to be replaced by a centrally planned and government-controlled economy. If he isn't stopped your way of live will be all but destroyed. He's gone past being an inexperienced joke." And this from Heritage: Bank Tax Misses the Real Bailout Deadbeats in Detroit and DC "So the real deadbeats that are not giving us "our money back" are not the banks, but the union-backed car companies and failed government mortgage modification programs. "

ACLU Targeting Obama Administration's Use of Drone Airstrikes...

Weasel Zippers "In essence the ACLU is acting as al-Qaeda's legal counsel (and unsolicited at that), does that mean the CIA can target their lawyers with drone airstrikes?..."

Our Sorta, Kinda War on Terror

Victor Davis Hanson, NRO "So, like the British and French in 1939, LBJ in the 1960s, and Jimmy Carter, the Great Satan of 1979, we are sleepwalking through a real war, mixing therapy and tragedy, peace and war, appeasement and violence, outreach and Predators. Soon the enemy will take our sad measure, reenergize and escalate, and make us choose either to fight or to desist — as we pray that another Churchill or Reagan rides in over the horizon."

Black Panther Leaders Lash Out at “Uncle Tom” Michael Steele & Redneck Republicans

GatewayPundit "Shabazz singled out GOP Reps. Frank Wolf (Va.) and Lamar Smith (Texas) — two critics on the House Judiciary Committee — along with “Old Uncle Tom, Michael Steele, the black Negro who heads the Republican National Committee.” “We gearing up for a showdown with this cracker,” Shabazz said, although it wasn’t clear to whom he was referring."

It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over

Jennifer Rubin "In some sense, the Republicans are in the catbird’s seat. If ObamaCare fails, they can claim a measure of credit for having advertised its weaknesses and persuaded their colleagues of its toxicity. And if it passes, that’s the top issue for the 2010 campaign. As for Obama, what was to be his signature piece of legislation has now become a political trap. "

Herald Reporter: “It Becomes Increasingly Clear Brown is Winning With Voters Who Work For a Living”

GatewayPundit "…Let’s be clear here, Brown-Coakley is a fight between the working classes and the nonworking classes. If you have a job, if you pay your own way, then you’re for Scott Brown. If you’re a moonbat, or a hack, or an illegal alien, or if you have a trust fund or are from New York (or most likely both) then you’re for Martha." Is the Globe getting off Coakley's bus?

US vs. Israel

Commentary " “We think the way forward … is full implementation of the Arab peace initiative,” Mitchell declared. “That’s the comprehensive peace in the region that is the objective set forth by the president.” The Arab initiative mandates a full Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 lines — every last inch of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. It also demands a solution to the refugee problem “in accordance with UN General Assembly Resolution 194,” which Arabs interpret as allowing the refugees to “return” to Israel."
