Obama and the Trouble With Voting 'Present'

Karl Rove "Weak and radical, the president looks more like Jimmy Carter all the time."...."Mr. Obama also seems disinterested in hearing from experts about the spill. The White House's "Deep Water Horizon Response Timeline" doesn't list a single meeting between Mr. Obama and industry experts..."

The Ever-'Present' Obama  Nathan Gonzales, February 13, 2007.  I remember Obama's sycophants in the press using verbal gymnastics to explain his many "present" votes.

With Revolutionaries 'Looking On,' Teachers Take Kids on a Protest Trip to Arizona

Fox News "Standing in front of a wall-to-wall mural featuring a who's who of revolutionaries, including Ho Chi Minh, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, and boldly displaying the motto Patria o Muerte, Venceremos!!! (Fatherland or Death, We Shall Overcome!!!), a group of teachers, students, parents and community activists in the Los Angeles Unified School District gathered last month for an unusual field trip — to Arizona, to protest that state's controversial immigration law." Hat tip to Harley Standlee, Placerville, Ca.

Employee Told FBI ACORN Works for Democrats

Michelle Malkin "“The radical activist group ACORN ‘works’ for the Democratic Party and deliberately promotes election fraud, ACORN employees told FBI investigators, according to an FBI document dump Wednesday.” "

Transgender Bill (H1728) & other "culture war" bills still in limbo

Mass Resistance "[Republican Sen. Richard] Tisei probably also knows how uncomfortable most legislators are with the bill, despite the fact that the homosexual lobby is demanding its passage, and that the longer this bill -- and other contentious "culture war" bills -- are in committee the easier it is for the average pol.".... Sen. Richard Tisei (R-Wakefield), a co-sponsor of the Transgender Bill. " Yes, that is an R by his name.

Obama and Pelosi Hijack Christianity

Ken Blackwell  "We can’t imagine what Bible Speaker Pelosi is reading. The Bible does not sanction gay marriage or abortion. It does not command heavy taxes on employers and professionals to pay for government handouts. Instead, the Bible speaks of God and man, the relationship between the two and how that relationship can be restored. It reveals the moral character of God, the divine plan for the ages, and explains the purpose and duties of man.
"From everything we see from her, we are firmly convinced that none of those biblical instructions or admonitions has any impact on Pelosi’s official activities. "

Anatomy Of a Failing Presidency

Fillmore Gazette "But, Barack Obama is failing. Failing big. Failing fast. And failing everywhere: foreign policy, domestic initiatives, and most importantly, in forging connections with the American people. The incomparable Dorothy Rabinowitz in the Wall Street Journal put her finger on it: He is failing because he has no understanding of the American people, and may indeed loathe them." h/t to Paul Van Alstine, Idaho

Awaiting Armageddon: Iran Versus the World

Warning Signs "Commentator, J.D. Longstreet summed up the threat. “I am not optimistic that hatred of the Jews will end, or even lessen any time soon. In fact, I expect it to get much, much, worse and eventually lead the nations of the world to a place known as the Megiddo Valley and the final battle known as the Battle of Armageddon.”
"Will the armed might of the U.S., already present in the Middle East in Afghanistan, in Iraq, and in the Persian Gulf, be used to thwart this? That question waits upon the decision of Barack Hussein Obama.  Alan Caruba

The Neomarxist who is helping to influence Obama’s media policy (Updated)

Daily Caller  " “Only government can implement policies and subsidies to provide an institutional framework for quality journalism.” Does that statement give you chills?....
"Or this one? “In the end, there is no real answer but to remove brick-by-brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles.” "
"These are the sentiments of Robert McChesney, a self-professed neomarxist media scholar and the founder of the lobbying group and think tank Free Press. McChesney’s statements should worry you, perhaps even fill you with dread. Not because the rantings of a lefty professor are particularly scary in and of themselves, but because McChesney’s views are having a direct effect on the Obama administration’s policies on the media."  Emphasis mine.

Detecting Whiff Of Condescension With This Postmodern Presidency    "Instead, he's the product of the broader culture: There are millions of people like Barack Obama, the eternal students of a vast lethargic transnational campus for whom global compassion and the multicultural pose are merely the modish gloss on a cult of radical grandiose narcissism. As someone once said, "We are the ones we've been waiting for." When you've spent that long waiting in line for yourself, it's bound to be a disappointment." MARK STEYN 

What a difference a year makes  "About a year and a half ago I created a new folder in it named “Obama-sama”. Shall we take a trip in time, back a year?"

Another Stumble in the Gulf

Powerline "The administration has decreed a six-month moratorium on exploratory drilling in the Gulf, based on a report that Interior Secretary Ken Salazar wrote for President Obama. Salazar claimed that a panel of seven experts selected by the National Academy of Engineering had peer reviewed his report. It turns out, though, that the seven experts never saw the recommendation for a moratorium, and in fact oppose it:"...

Home Depot official sponsor of which country's World Cup soccer team?

Thomas Lifson  "I suppose the influx of Latin Americans into the construction industry might have something to do with this. Still it does seem a bit odd that Home Depot offers no support to the US soccer team."

Obama May Want to Fix Your State, Too

Dan Kennedy "Further, the Ohio law obviously, outrageously turns the innocent-until-proven-guilty protection on its head. The Arizona law is much narrower and more cautious. It does not, for example, permit a law enforcement officer to determine someone is an illegal immigrant just based on his best guess about the subject’s immigration status. If the President wishes to excoriate a state, its legislature, its governor, its state law, he’d have far more justification with this idiocy in Ohio than the measures of desperation in Arizona.
