Karl Rove "To save themselves in the midterm elections, Democrats are counting on selling two themes: The state of the economy is all George W.

However pure your voice, better to let silence reign."

And now for another liberal point of view : "'Ground Zero Mosque' Will Be a Green Building". Well, that was my only real cause for concern all along.

The Gulf Recovery Obama Does Not Want to See

Heritage "Not on the agenda? Any meetings with oil workers in other Gulf states who are now unemployed thanks to President Obama’s Gulf oil drilling ban.
"If the President really wanted to see the economic damage his policies are causing in the Gulf, he could first stop in Pascagoula, Miss., where idle oil rigs in the Signal International shipyard have formed an eerie floating ghost city that locals have dubbed “Rig Row.”"

Hamida Ghafour , Abu Dhabi: "He is convinced that the publication of thousands of documents exposed him because he has never had such security problems before. During the first couple of phone calls, the caller told him to quit his job. "....
 "Gen Petraeus will have to hold his nerve against enormous political pressure from Washington and various European capitals to give up on what appears to be a lost cause and start bringing home soldiers.

Harry vs. Hispanics

American Thinker "Harry Reid must by now be acquiring an epicurean appreciation for the flavor of footwear, considering how often he manages to wedge his wingtips firmly in that mealy mouth. If Harry ever gets athletes foot he'll have to get it treated by a dentist. Once again ol' Hotfoot Harry has taken careful aim and dropkicked himself square in the kisser with this gem, where he opines that he can't see how any Hispanic could be a Republican."
