The Price of Arrogance
Jennifer Rubin "Mark Halperin joins the chorus of those who found Obama dismissive and condescending toward the Republicans — to his own detriment. As Halperin observes, Obama is so convinced “he is right and they are wrong” that he cannot disguise his contempt. As a result, I would venture to say, there is not a single Republican who feels inclined, let alone obligated, to help Obama out of his dilemma, namely his inability to pass his signature agenda item."
How Many Justice Lawyers Does It Take To Screw In A Lightbulb?
Big Government "Perhaps these DOJ attorneys should be subjected to scrutiny by the Senate but let us not jump to conclusions. At this point, the only bad actor is AG Holder, and he should not be representative of the entire legal profession."
Are Democrats choosing to run off a cliff with ObamaCare?
Hot Air "A party with a leadership of zealots, though, could choose to use a two-year session of Congress to fundamentally remake America if it accepted a humiliating loss of power as the necessary trade-off." Then this: Transformation by Andy McCarthy; "Today's Democrats are controlled by the radical Left, and it is more important to them to execute the permanent transformation of American society than it is to win the upcoming election cycles. They have already factored in losing in November — even losing big."

Obama Readies a Fallback Health-Care Proposal
WSJ "His leading alternate approach would provide health insurance to perhaps 15 million Americans, about half what the comprehensive bill would cover, according to two people familiar with the planning."
America, A Love Story
Atlas Shrugs "U.S. Air Force Nurse, Lucy Lehker, comforts an 'unknown' Canadian soldier after he was badly wounded in Afghanistan."...."Dear Michael Yon, Today we were sent your story of February 14, 2010. The “unknown” Canadian is our son Danny. He is a 23-year-old soldier from Vancouver, Canada. Your photographs were extraordinary and have impacted so many people here in Canada. There has been an outpouring of affection for the Americans who helped Danny in his moment of need. For that, we thank you for recording these acts of kindness into history..." Original story here, by Michael Yon: From Canada: A Thank You to U.S. Service Members
Charles Krauthammer Says Obama Has ‘Given Up the Aura of the Presidency’...
Weasel Zippers Remember if you browse around in this site, the language can get a bit, er,...salty.
"Follow-Up Appointment Needed"; An after-debate symposium
National Review Online "In the wake of the Blair House summit, we asked a few of our health-care experts: Was anything accomplished on Thursday? What is a constructive next step for Republicans?"
"Victimizing blacks," By Dr. Thomas Sowell
JewishWorldReview "Being a race hustler is a very lucrative business for people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. But such people can extort money and power from white business and political leaders precisely because it is easier to pay off a relative handful of noise makers than to be bothered fighting them." Then there's this article by actor Adam Baldwin: "Racist!’ He cried…: A Thought-Terminating Cliché in Decline"
Obama salutes Ryan (Did he or didn't he?)
Powerline "The remarks of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan (video above) stole the show in this regard. ....Ryan deconstructs the fairy tale at the heart of Obamacare. Obama was not amused.....Professor Obama seethed as Ryan spoke; he badly wanted to throw Ryan out of the class. Instead, he gives Ryan the evil eye and appears to give Ryan the finger. It's a moment that reveals something of the animus driving the project."
Obamacare supporters told to call talk shows
Screen shot from the Michael Graham blog, The Natural Truth from the Obama site: http://radio.barackobama.com/.
The story: Neal Boortz on the Obamabots "We've been through this before. During Clinton's term the Democrats assigned a man by the name of Bua to conduct seminars for Democrats who wanted to call a talk radio show and promote the Clinton agenda. It didn't work. The Bua callers were trying to present and argue talking points that simply were not their own, and they failed. "
British Pol knees EU prez in the nads
Uncle Jimbo via Blackfive "The EU is doing all it can to socialize all of Europe into the loving, caring arms of unaccountable bureaucrats in Brussels. They want to run it all and want the proles to just shut up and let their betters tell them how to live. Well the new EU President showed up today and Nigel Farage the leader of the UK Independence Party let him know not everyone is impressed. " Nobody can make a speech like an Englishman.
