Too Little, Too Late, Too Cynical

Victor Davis Hanson "But the problem is that a now jaded public believes that Obama is changing both course and tone not because he wants to for the country, but because he is forced to for his own survival.In other words, the “hope and change” of last year’s messiah has devolved into this year’s “whatever it takes” of a cynic."

Flashback: Obama, Reid Blasted Idea of Majority Rule in the Senate

American Spectator "BreitbartTV has posted a great compilation video of the arguments that top Democrats, including President Obama, made against the prospect of Republicans using the "nuclear option" to break Democratic filibusters in 2005. Their words stand in stark contrast to Democrats current statements ..." H/t to Boortz.

What the GOP Should Say at the Health Summit

Karl Rove, WSJ "The congressional Republicans at today's televised health-care "summit" at the White House naturally want to prevent the president from turning it into a PR stunt. This is no easy task. They'll not only have to point out problems with his plan and offer their own ideas, but correct the president when he makes statements that are not true. The GOP participants appear ready for the first two tasks."

The Summit to Nowhere? (UPDATED)

Commentary "But unless a dramatic shift in public and congressional opinion occurs, he will not get his bill. Indeed, we now see signs that he realizes this. This report explains that Obama is preparing an alternative plan to cover 15 million people and do a small fraction of what his ObamaCare scheme envisioned:"...Jennifer Rubin

The Brutal Truth About Californians

Pajamas Media "...you’ll have an unelected judge making California’s budget decisions. And if you think that’s bad… the California electorate’s taste for endless government got the state into this mess — and who elected them?" Well, the left brought Russia seven decades of misery and they STILL won't acknowledge they were wrong.

Beware of 'Comprehensive' Anything

Victor Davis Hanson "Comprehensive reform also often involves new laws, more money and additional bureaucrats. Yet almost every problem facing America arises from too much federal spending and borrowing — not too little government."

Conservatives disappointed in Senator Brown

American Thinker "You can take the Senator out of Massachusetts, but you can't take Massachusetts out of the Senator."

What Part of "Party of No" Don't You Understand?

Townhall "Republicans can't stop the Democrats from socializing health care: They are a tiny minority party in both the House and the Senate. (Note to America: You might want to keep this in mind next time you go to the polls.)"

For Dems and GOP alike, optics are everything

Politico "[Republicans] wanted the six-hour talks to take place around a table with House and Senate members sitting at the same height as President Barack Obama, according to a senior Senate GOP aide. “We don’t want any more of that Professor Obama lecturing to us stuff,” said one staffer, speaking on condition of anonymity."

The Silence of the Lamb

Commentary "Obama’s obsessive “reaching out to the Iranian leadership,” starting in his inauguration speech and continuing month after month in spite of no Iranian response, sent an unmistakable signal — one confirmed when he stood mute after the fraudulent Iranian election; confirmed again after he offered a muffled response to the secret nuclear facility in Qom; confirmed yet again when he remained silent as each of his “deadlines” passed; and confirmed even now by his continuing silence on the subject as he devotes his speeches and attention to ObamaCare. Lions know a lamb when they see one." Rick Richman

Toyota vs. Government Motors

HotAir "Toyota’s handling of the recall has been miserable. Weeks after I first learned that my car is subject to one of the recalls, I still haven’t been notified directly by the company, and so far as I know, there is no fix yet for the potentially faulty gas pedal in my 2009 Corolla. I’m not happy about that. But the evidence that the federal government’s recent entrance into the car business has influenced its antagonizing approach to the Toyota recall is quite convincing:"
