Barackalypse Now
Powerline "That’s from Rush Limbaugh’s show today, as Rush went on an epic rant which you can read here. A very brief excerpt:
Barack Obama inherits a AAA credit rating from George W. Bush, and look what he does to it. Obama is always running around complaining and whining and moaning about all that he inherited from George W. Bush. Well, he inherited a AAA credit rating, an unemployment rate of 5.7%. Does anybody doubt that this is on purpose?
"Well, I don’t really think it’s on purpose. I think Obama knew his redistributionist policies would impair economic growth, but he had no idea how much. As one who grew up imbued with the idea that America is too rich and too powerful, he had no idea what it takes to create wealth, or how easily the conditions that are required for wealth creation can be damaged by a hostile and incompetent government."One more illustration from Rush’s web site:"
"It reinforces, perhaps, like nothing else has the impression that Obama is overseeing -- and some respects engineering -- the decline of the American republic." There can be no doubt! It now just takes the courage to admit it. This is why I said, "I hope he fails," because I didn't want to see this happen to our country. Rush Limbaugh, quoting Pete Wehner
President Blah, Blah, Blah
Warning Signs "President Blah, Blah, Blah got in front of the television cameras midday on Monday to say the usual meaningless things he has been saying since he was elected, none of which are true and none of which have been able to hide the fact that he has driven the nation into the ditch with a lot of help from Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid." Alan Caruba
Obama's press statement today
Hot Air "....Update III: Obama spoke for about ten minutes, and had absolutely nothing new to offer. He hinted at having a plan to deal with tax reform and “modest” entitlement reform, but wouldn’t even commit to producing it. NBC’s Chuck Todd nailed it on Twitter: “You get the sense, WH knew they had to say something given the news of the weekend but he didn’t have much NEW to say.” "
Obama calls US AAA nation despite AA+ Rating "Obama said financial markets around the world "still believe our credit is triple-A. I and the world's investor's agree.""
Radical-in-Chief
Frontpage Magazine "...is that Barack Obama not only does he come from the left that I came out of, the radical America-despising left, but the worst part of it. He had a 20-year relationship with a leftist whom I despised when I thought of myself as a Marxist revolutionary, which is Billy Ayers–despised him because he was so shallow and destructive."
Obama: Still the Alinskyite "Obama is a bad negotiator because Alinskyite’s don’t negotiate, they intentionally polarize. As for their own groups, here they try to placate all factions and hide their own goals. That about describes Obama’s performance on the debt deal, which included a dollop of both of these stances."
Milwaukee Issues Press Release on Racial Turmoil at State Fair: "We're Reaping the Harvest We've Sown"
Saberpoint "Two aldermen of the City of Milwaukee have issued a press release addressing the black-on-white attacks at the Wisconsin State Fair. In the press release, they did something unprecedented: they placed the blame on the black community, where in fact it actually belongs. "The press release states:" ....
....Our hearts go out to the older generation of African Americans in this city who remember when their community had one of the HIGHEST marriage rates in the city. Sadly, many of these same residents are now scared of their own children and grandchildren....
American Tinderbox "A twist that is also gaining popularity is the “flash rob” where a large group of young people descends on a store and loots it. As responsible journalists are always careful to say, the overall trend of youth crime in the US remains headed down, but this particular form of crime seems to be gaining steam."
Maxine Waters on the LA riots "In 1992, during the Los Angeles riots in which 58 people were killed – she called it a rebellion – Waters excused the gang of black thugs who nearly murdered white truck driver Reginald Denny, saying, "The anger in my district is righteous. I'm just as angry as they are." She also dismissed those who looted Korean-owned stores by saying, "They were mothers who took this as an opportunity to take some milk, to take some bread, to take some shoes. They are not crooks.""
More on this here. There were heroes among the rioters in LA who must be remembered. Perhaps there were in Wisconsin as well.
Spare Us the Sermons, Mr. President ; And explain why your policies aren’t working.
Victor Davis Hanson "During the recent debt crisis, President Obama talked about the need for bipartisan compromise and, as in the past, he urged civility. Giving ground and engaging in polite discourse, of course, can be noble aims. But, like most one-eyed-jack politicians, Obama has rarely embraced the admirable qualities he advocates — a fact increasingly evident to a skeptical public."
Media Bias made manifest
A compilation of biased media articles .No matter how strong the conservatives' arguments are against Obama policies, they will have to get past all this to make their case known to the American people. Read these and you can understand why Republicans and the TEA Party do poorly in polls.
Civility: A Compilation of 'the GOP is Insane/Terrorists/Extremists' Articles "There are some legitimately non-hyperbolic editorials coming out from the Left. However-- a disproportionate amount coming from actual establishment news organizations and writers should be cause for alarm. Yes, there is the regular alarm-pulling at the Nation and the Daily Kos-- but there is a troubling trend. The most heavy-- and even obscene terms are being thrown at the GOP. Below are just some examples from this month alone."
NBC's Gregory Accuses GOP of 'Politicizing' Debt Downgrade, After Allowing John Kerry to Blame Tea Party "On Sunday's Meet the Press on NBC, host David Gregory allowed Massachusetts Senator John Kerry to blame Standard and Poor's downgrade of U.S. debt on the Tea Party without challenge. However, minutes later, in an interview with Arizona Senator John McCain, Gregory was quick to accuse Republicans of "politicizing" the issue by criticizing Democrats."
The Class Warfare Will Be Televised: ABC’s ‘Revenge’ a ‘Takedown of the Rich’ "Funny how this cynical new ABC series (produced and starring the rich, no doubt) assumes average Americans are more interested in taking revenge on the rich instead of becoming rich themselves. It’s also also interesting that the show is set in the Hamptons as opposed to, say… Hollywood?"
NBC News’ Al Sharpton Under Fire from Black Journalist Association “He would be the first African American with a nightly show on cable news in years and yet he’s not a journalist, he’s obviously a liberal activist and former candidate.”
The Conservative Crazy Eyes Cliche [and] Other Stupid MSM Photo Tricks "Question: When was the last time Time or Newsweek put a halo around a conservative politician? Hmmm?"
How can the government promote the economy? (Updated)
Get out of the way! "So what can the government do to promote real job growth? Quite simply, get out of the way. We don’t need to teach the grass to grow; we just need to move the rocks off of it. The rocks weighing down on the economy are government rules and regulations — in other words, bureaucracy and overregulation."
Iain Murray heads the Center for Economic Freedom at the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
Roadblocks for Obama’s Pro-Jobs Bus Tour "With those as the two most serious job-creating plans the president has proposed recently, it’s no wonder employers aren’t feeling much confidence right now."
Charles Krauthammer: How the super-committee can strike a Grand Bargain "Conventional wisdom holds that the congressional super-committee established by the debt-ceiling deal to propose further deficit reduction will go nowhere. I’m not so sure. There is a grand compromise to be had. It does, however, require precise sequencing. To succeed it must proceed in three stages:"....
U.S. Credit Rating Downgraded: Now They’ve Done It

Heritage "For decades past memory, United States government debt was deemed the gold standard of credit quality. Textbooks referred to U.S. Treasuries as the “riskless asset” against which all others were compared. Those days have passed, at least for now, because the U.S. government has rapidly piled debt upon debt and ,on its current trajectory, evidences no inclination to stop. Under the circumstances, without a fundamental policy course correction, a repeatedly threatened credit rating downgrade became inevitable, with only the timing at issue."
Our dear ruler's downgrade "The key to maintaining our current rating, not slipping further, and hopefully bumping back up to our AAA rating will be spending cuts. Period. End of story. While the S&P says that tax increases would be nice, that is not the key for any future downgrade. The key will be spending cuts." Democrats.
Via Neal Boortz as is the following...
The blame game: credit downgrade "The downgrade of our credit rating has validated this theory. Unable to cope with the idea that their guy, Barack Obama, royally screwed up and is now responsible for the first credit downgrade in U.S. history … they are pointing fingers. Big time.
"So the #1 scapegoat over the weekend was … the Tea Party! Let’s take a look at some of the highlights:"....

Democrats ignore AAA countries' experience "These recommendations are nonsense, because all of the countries with AAA-rated debt (as compared to the United States' AA+-rated debt) already have lower corporate tax rates than the US does. ...."
"The frustrations against the Tea Party were rooted in the thinking that the US can continue supporting the welfare and entitlement programs at ever increasing rates as it has for the past 50 years. Instead, the frustration should be targeted against those who accept the idea that the broken programs will be sustainable much farther into the future." Can a Free Market Support a Democratic Socialist Society?
Neil Cavuto Challenges Rep. Kucinich On The Economy: ‘Why Are [Corporations] Responsible And Not You Guys?’ "“Why are they responsible and not you guys?” he asked, referring to Congress. “They’re chased overseas because of regulations and taxes.” “Believe me,” he argued, “they want to bring that money home, but they’re spanked big time if they do.” At this the Congressman began reading a list of corporations that paid little to no taxes, including Exxon Mobil, which Cavuto countered was “one of the top ten federally taxed corporations. Cavuto concluded, contrary to the Congressman, that corporations “would invest if they had an environment that was hospitable."
