Two, Three, Many Obamas

Victor Davis Hanson  "As the campaign heats up, one problem is that we continue to meet lots of different Barack Obamas — to such a degree that we don’t know which, if any, is really president."
....
"Barry Obama respects those who make billions from Berkshire Hathaway, Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Facebook, but Barack Obama does not respect those who make billions from oil, farming, and construction. Is Wall Street the source of our national problems or the source of the president’s political salvation? There is an Obama who runs against a prep-schooled mansion-living member of the elite; there is another Obama who was a prep-schooled mansion-living member of the elite."

Outrage in Poland over Obama's 'Polish Death Camp' comment

Rick Moran  "It's so nice to have a president who's smart, don't you think? I mean, Obama can pronounce "nuclear" correctly, although the word kind of sticks in his throat when mentioning it in the same breath as Iran or North Korea.
"But there's "smart" like Obama, and then there's "smart" like, well, the rest of us. Obama's gaffetastic appearances lately makes one wonder if we should redefine the idea of intellectual acuity and place the president in a separate category."

The other half of the White House brain trust

Lets see, where were we before Mr. Biden came into the room?
President Obama Causes Outrage with Reference to ‘Polish Death Camp’  " “The White House will apologize for this outrageous error,” Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski tweeted.  Sikorski said that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk “will make a statement in the morning. It’s a pity that this important ceremony was upstaged by ignorance and incompetence*.” "  Auschwitz, Dachau,Nazi death camp

*Incompetence: 

1.      not competent; lacking qualification or ability; incapable: an incompetent candidate.

2.

characterized by or showing incompetence: His incompetentacting ruined the play.

This Ain’t No Polish Joke  "I am outraged. I am ashamed. And I am deeply sorry to Polish people, for my president, and for the tragic series of events that put this merciless SCoaMF in the Oval Office.

"And with that, I’ve managed more of an apology than the White House could muster. Instead of a personal apology, Obama sent out a lowly NSC spokesman to say, “The president was referring to Nazi death camps operated in Poland. The president has demonstrated in word and deed his rock-solid commitment to our close alliance with Poland.” 

"Well isn’t that just dandy. The president himself said about the stupidest, most offensive thing imaginable to an entire people. And by way of apology, SCoaMF had someone nobody has ever heard of explain that of course Teh Won didn’t really make a mistake. He’s the smartest man in the room, don’t you know." Stephen Green


Obama Shrugs Off Poland’s Demand He Apologize For Referring to Nazi Death Camps As Polish…

" “I am convinced that our American friends can today allow themselves a stronger reaction than a simple expression of regret from the White House spokesman — a reaction more inclined to eliminate once and for all these kinds of errors,” Tusk told reporters in Warsaw.

"“Today, this is a problem for the reputation of the United States,” the prime minister said."....

GOP whistling past the end of America

Ann Coulter  "Public sector employees seem to think they should be exempted from belt-tightening everyone else is subject to under the Obama economy. (Obama thinks so, too. Most of the stimulus money went to shore up public sector employees' salaries and perks.) 
"Half the country is unemployed, but these special people are indignant that Walker asked them to start contributing a tiny amount of their salaries to their own pensions -- 5.8 percent, up from zero percent -- and a little bit more for their own health insurance, from a measly 6.2 percent to 12.4 percent of their salaries." 

Farrakhan rejoices that America is losing its Southwest states

TheBlaze  "However, The minister sounded overjoyed that minority births outnumber white births in America, according to recent US Census reports.  Given the news, Farrakhan noted that white people will soon “be the minority in their own country that they took from the native people.”  He also projected that minorities will soon “become governor of every state.” "



Rush Limbaugh addressed this issue today:  "And that's when he "went on to declare that he was 'sad that Mexico lost California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado' after the Mexican-American War 'trickery.'" Then he said it's payback time because "white people will soon 'be the minority in their own country that they took from the native people.'" Now, we sit here and we laugh at this stuff, but we're talking about somebody's got a sizeable audience. We're talking about somebody that wields a fair amount of influence within his community.

"Yeah, we've had our share of fun with Minister Farrakhan, and we've laughed at him, but this is serious stuff."


Rev. Wright Magazine Featured Obama on Cover with Farrakhan

"To this day, Barack Obama continues to insist he was shocked and surprised to discover that Reverend Jeremiah Wright had bizarre racist views. 
"Now Tom Blumer has discovered images of Wright’s radical newsmagazineTrumpet—and look who was featured on the cover of that magazine at least three times: BizzyBlog - Attention Stanley Kurtz, Re Obama, Wright, Trumpet: I’ve Got You Covered.
"Here’s one of the images, featuring pictures of Barack Obama, Rev. Wright — and Louis Farrakhan. Isn’t that cozy?
"And if you think Barack Obama didn’t know he was featured on this cover, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you....."Notice who’s missing? Martin Luther King, Jr."  Little Green Footballs

The Texas Primaries Updated

The Texas GOP senate primary; Update: Romney clinches nomination; Update: Cruz forces runoff with Dewhurst   "Three things to watch tonight. One: Texas is going to put Romney over the top in delegates so we may get a formal victory speech from Mitt.".... 

Update: Mitt Romney is now officially your Republican nominee for president. 

Update: Close but no cigar for Dewhurst. The runoff is set for July 31.

Today's GOP primary in Texas follows nasty campaigns    "Some of the campaigning has been truly nasty. That's particularly been the case in the race for the senate seat of retiring Kay Bailey Hutchison. The two frontrunners, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst and former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz, have called each other liars in television ads.

"Some observers say the attack ads are part of a "blood sport" political culture in Texas, while others say the personal attacks have been the invariable consequence of conservatives -- who differed little politically -- trying to distinguish themselves from their opponents."

Obama May Lose To A Grass-Roots Operation Chaos In Texas  "The voters in West Virginia, Arkansas, Kentucky, and possibly Texas seem to be doing their own "Operation Chaos," but so far as I know, Rush Limbaugh has had nothing to do with it.  In fact, this looks to be a totally grass-roots inspired Operation Chaos.  Seems as if Democratic voters still see a lot of embarrassment to be had in voting against the candidate who has already secured the Democratic nomination." "

Neal Boortz; Forward fading?   "Then yesterday I see this headline in The Hill: “Obama team struggles to find 2012 reelection campaign theme.”  Wait a durn minute .. I thought we already had a theme or a slogan.  What happened to “forward?” "


What to Watch for When Primary Results Come  "But the primary will decide legislative and other nominations, and it could answer some questions that aren’t even on the ballot." 


Will Fear Decide Texas Senate Race?  "One source familiar with Texas politics who supports Cruz says that he knows “a number of significant donors” who also have business interests in the state and have been “told by their lobbyists in Austin, ‘Don’t dare give money to Ted, don’t endorse Ted . . . because if you do you’ll never get anything else through in Austin.’”

Obama ducks calls to release his collegiate transcripts

The Washington Times  "But decades after Mr. Obama completed his own college course work, his academic performance is still a mystery. Before and after his election as president, Mr. Obama has refused to release his college transcripts from his days as an undergraduate and a law school student.

Bing 

"Most presidents’ academic records are made public by the time they reach the highest office in the land, either with their consent or by someone else digging them up."....

"In 1999, the New Yorker magazine uncovered George W. Bush’s college records as he was running for the GOP presidential nomination. It confirmed what Mr. Bush had been saying all along — that he was a “C” student at Yale University.

"Mr. Hess said there is no correlation between college grades and performance as president.

" “It turns out to be not much of a predictor,” the Brookings scholar said. “Franklin Roosevelt wasn’t a super academic. Harry Truman never even went to college. We know the problems of George W. Bush. Ronald Reagan I don’t think ever made Phi Beta Kappa.” "

Getting out while the going is good

Rick Moran  "It should come as no surprise that women in Afghanistan who are financially able to leave are beginning to depart for friendlier climes before the Taliban takes over again."
Quoting the Guardian:

Speaking to the Observer, Kakar said negotiations between the government and the Taliban and other insurgent groups were ignoring women's rights. A recent survey by charity ActionAid suggested 86% of Afghan women were fearful of a return to Taliban-style rule. One in five worried about the education of their daughters but 72% said their lives were better now than a decade ago.

Please, Please, Please Call Me a Racist™; It's become a badge of honor.

PJ Media " Are you interested in becoming a Racist™? You may be eligible:

"Do you oppose the siphoning off of productive earnings and investment capital into byzantine welfare schemes, run essentially as discretionary funds for politicians who both buy votes and further reward those who have already been bought?

"Do you oppose the de facto repeal of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments?

"Do you think the “Reverend” Al Sharpton is a criminal, a liar, an antisemite, a libelist, an extortionist, a racketeer, a predator?

"Did you refuse to vote for Barack Obama not because he was half-black, but because he was all-huckster?

"Do you either ensconce the phrase “Justice Department” in scare quotes or preface it with “so-called”?

"Do you think the United States Capitol is, or should be, too important and hallowed a venue for whiny, middle-class white girls from Georgetown to be complaining about the price of contraception?

"Do you oppose the efforts of Barack Obama to debase and marginalize allies like Israel and Great Britain while simultaneously offering Russian gangster-politicos concessions made by mortgaging the nation’s well being against the results of his re-election campaign?

"Have you noticed that the only way to escape the scorn and contempt of Barack Obama is to be the representative of a hostile Third World dictatorship?"

"In other words, we may actually be reaching the point we’ve all been waiting for: the point at which the charge of Racism™ begins to lose its social power. Trust me, I’m aware we have a long way to go: Big Media is unsalvageable, and our universities are still North Korean enclaves, to name but two obstacles."

Now here's a one percent I can honor

Looking Up to Our Heroes  "Let's not wait for our heroes to die before we recognize them.  The "New Media" needs to take up the slack in daily reporting on the heroes in our armed forces - so young, many of them, yet also so grown-up.  We must also make sure that our heroes know how much the rest of the grown-ups in America appreciate and look up to them."   Cindy Simpson 

Blogs rip MSNBC's Chris Hayes on 'heroes'   "Law and Order"s favorite channel says: 

  “Why do I feel so uncomfortable about the word ‘hero’?” Hayes said. “I feel uncomfortable about the word hero because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war. Um, and, I don’t want to obviously desecrate or disrespect memory of anyone that’s fallen, and obviously there are individual circumstances in which there is genuine, tremendous heroism, you know, hail of gunfire, rescuing fellow soldiers and things like that. But it seems to me that we marshal this word in a way that is problematic. But maybe I’m wrong about that.”

Kurt Schlichter at Breitbart blasted Hayes for his comment, writing, “Memo to Chris: they are heroes, and you don’t get a vote.”

“So, like so many other useless progressive fops* who glide from cocktail party to panel discussion, Chris Hayes continues to push his progressive vision of collectivist serfdom from behind the unbreachable wall of American warriors,” Schlichter wrote. “He has not stood with them and, in fact, is unworthy of doing so. He is a parasite taking sustenance from the exertions of better men and women.”

* Fop: "A modern-day fop may also be a reference to a foolish person who is overly concerned about his clothing and incapable of engaging in intellectual conversations, activities or thoughts."
