In wishing Bush well, Putin has message for Obama

Reuters    "Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a telegram on Thursday to his old sparring partner, former U.S. President George W. Bush, wishing him a quick recovery from heart surgery.
"It may have been coincidence that the Kremlin released details of the telegram a day after Barack Obama pulled out of a planned summit with Putin, but little is left to chance in Russian politics.
"The warm words to the man who once said he looked Putin in the eye and got a "sense of his soul" highlighted how different the relationship is between the leaders in the Kremlin and the White House now."....

No contact from Obama as of this morning  "White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters that President Barack Obama was briefed on Bush’s procedure and “obviously wishes him well.” He didn’t believe Obama and Bush had spoken, Carney said."

Neither did these- apparently- Obama voters

South Korea calls North Korea's bluff and wins

American Thinker  "President Park Geun-hye of South Korea has more stones than Barack Obama. She isn't content to lead from behind when it comes to dealing with North Korea. Instead of groveling apologies, she called a bluff.  Jack Kim of Reuters reports: "  Read more:

 

But one does wonder: if a US president were to defy this little demagogue, would the "progressive" pacifists and their submissive press in the US do all in their power to make him cave in to the Norks or be branded a "warmonger"? Is America capable of being defended by a strong president (should we ever get one?)

 

This all happened in the 1930s and caused Britain to be unprepared for the war of conquest Hitler started. The Communists and their allies of the British left did everything in their power to bring that about and they will do it again.

UPDATED: Con Artists and Scammers Eager for Obamacare Grand Opening

Big Government  "With the Obama Administration scrambling to cobble together the Obamacare health insurance exchanges in time for the October 1st grand opening, experts say con artists and fraudsters are eager to begin exploiting the new law's complexity and government-enforced fines to swindle uninsured Americans."
....
"Federal authorities are well aware of the identity theft threat. In July, the Federal Trade Commission issued an alert warning that fraudsters are using Obamacare to poach Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, Medicare IDs, and other personal information."

Thanks, Obama!  "President Obama has just handed his opposition a powerful focus for resentment over Obamacare, by exempting Congress and its army of staffers from the Obamacare disaster foisted on average folks." Thomas Lifson

Sign Up for ObamaCare Over the Phone!    "Last month, the government announced that it wouldn't verify an individual's self-reported income for ObamaCare subsidies. Simply claim you qualify for a subsidy and you will receive that subsidy. Today, we learn, that you don't have to physically show up to claim coverage. You can sign up for coverage, and the subsequent subsidy, over the phone!"

UPDATE from The Comical Conservative

One comment to this post reminded us that those responsible for passing ObamaCare are on this list of groups exempted.

Barack Obama cancels meeting with Vladimir Putin over Edward Snowden

UK Daily Mail:

 Chip Bok

"Asked about recent joint appearances, where Mr Putin has often looked glum and confrontational, Mr Obama said the Russian leader's "preferred style" is "sitting back and not looking too excited".

" "Part of it is he’s not accustomed to having press conferences where you’ve got a bunch of reporters yelling questions at you," Mr Obama said in a thinly-veiled barb at Mr Putin's crackdown on media critics."

Tawana Brawley Finally Forced to Pay Man She Defamed

Big Government

" As Breitbart News has previously recalled, in November 1987, fifteen year-old black teenager Tawana Brawley was found in Wappinger's Falls, NY wrapped in a plastic bag, with feces in her hair and with "KKK" and the n-word written on her body. She claimed to have been abducted, then raped and sodomized by six white men. She quickly gained a set of advisors headed by Al Sharpton along with attorneys Mason and Maddox, fresh off a round of racially charged publicity in the Howard Beach incident. As the Post explains:".....

.....Brawley’s handlers then claimed — without proof — that Pagones was part of the white mob that kidnapped and raped the girl 33 times.

Celebrities lined up to support Tawana, including Bill Cosby, who posted a $25,000 reward for information on the case; Don King, who promised $100,000 for Brawley’s education; and Spike Lee, who in his 1989 film, “Do the Right Thing,” included a shot of a graffiti message reading, “Tawana told the truth.”

...."Sharpton had his settlement debt to Pagones paid by supporters, including O.J. Simpson attorney Johnnie Cochran. MSNBC host and Obama ally Sharpton is still unrepentant about the Brawley incident and refuses to even say that Brawley was lying, instead claiming in a recent interview: "Whatever happened, you're dealing with a minor who was missing for four days, so it's clear that something wrong happened.""

What Everybody Ought to Know About Obamacare

Heritage
"Obamacare: It’s unfair, unaffordable, and unworkable.
"So it’s no surprise that Organizing for Action, President Obama’s campaign group, is aggressively posting on all of its media outlets to try to hide the truth about Obamacare.
"Just last week, the group blasted out emails and tweets to activists encouraging them to “see how Obamacare is already working.”
"But Organizing for Action is wrong. Obamacare isn’t working, and it won’t ever work. That’s why we’re challenging every claim Obamacare supporters make—and you should, too. Congress should refuse to spend a single dime implementing this massive train wreck."

UPDATED: Obama administration using housing department in effort to diversify neighborhoods

Fox News

"In a move some claim is tantamount to social engineering, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is imposing a new rule that would allow the feds to track diversity in America’s neighborhoods and then push policies to change those it deems discriminatory.
"The policy is called, "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing." It will require HUD to gather data on segregation and discrimination in every single neighborhood and try to remedy it.
"HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan unveiled the federal rule at the NAACP convention in July."  Read more:

Buying a home is not for everyone: HUD Secretary

 

 

Obama bureaucrat claims zip code determines your life  ""This is just the latest of a series of attempts by HUD to social engineer the American people," said Ed Pinto, of the American Enterprise Institute. "It started with public housing and urban renewal, which failed spectacularly back in the 50's and 60's. They tried it again in the 90's when they wanted to transform house finance, do away with down payments, and the result was millions of foreclosures and financial collapse.”

UPDATE: Before It's News  "I’m sure glad to know that it wasn’t my mother’s drug habit and poor life choices that made us poor. It was our zipcode."

Eileen Luefft at FreedomWorks:    Still time to comment...still under proposal. Specifics of the proposed rule are lacking. Now published in the Federal Register and undergoing a 60-day comment period, the rule, “does not prescribe or enforce specific” policies. 

Major Hasan’s Death Spree; Political correctness has trumped truth in the Fort Hood massacre.

Michelle Malkin

Engraved names of the fallen at a Fort Hood memorial

"Americans obsessed over the O. J. Simpson, Casey Anthony, and Jodi Arias trials. Gun-control lobbyists turned Newtown, Aurora, and Tucson into national awareness-raising, fundraising, and legislation-promoting campaigns. But where are the celebrity lobbyists and high-profile advocates for the victims of the bloodthirsty Muslim vigilante Nidal Hasan?

"The White House, which downplayed the terrorist mass murder as “workplace violence,” encouraged national apathy about his evil acts. Our soldiers deserve better. Here are three facts you’ve probably forgotten — or never knew — about the Fort Hood terror spree."....  Full Article

...."One e-mail from an Army investigator before the Fort Hood massacre fretted: “Had we launched an investigation of Hasan we’d have been crucified.”"
"Instead, 13 soldiers and one unborn child paid with their lives for our country’s reckless political correctness and bureaucratic fecklessness." Emphasis added, TD
 

From Russia, With Hate: Sodomy Lobby Now Dictating U.S. Foreign Policy

The Other McCain  "The astute reader will perceive how the whole “neocon imperialist crusader” philosophy of Bush administration foreign policy, which Obama supposedly was going to reverse, has instead been simply converted to other purposes. Whereas the Republicans were going to spread “democracy” to the Middle East at the point of a bayonet, now the Obama regime aims to spread cultural liberalism by means of diplomatic hardball. This is a further sop to the same vocal minority that supports John Kerry’s recognition of foreign gay marriages for immigration purposes."

Putin isn’t just humiliating Washington – he’s testing it    "If Mr. Obama is prepared to show that there are repercussions for gross Russian misbehaviour, next month’s G20 summit in St. Petersburg (and a possible follow-up meeting between the two presidents) presents an opportunity. At long last, Mr. Obama could send a corrective message by not attending."

Obama's Russia reset unravels  "But analysts said the talk of Snowden’s role in the cancellation obscured a more basic reality: The U.S.-Russia relationship is now so frosty that it didn’t appear the two presidents would actually accomplish enough to merit such a high-profile meeting."

Ann Coulter: Bill O’Reilly is smarter than Lawrence O’Donnell

First some background on this:  MSNBC's O'Donnell Distorts O'Reilly, Touts 'Proof' Out-of-Wedlock Birth Not So Bad
"And, while O'Donnell claimed that O'Reilly "defended" the shooting of Trayvon Martin, O'Reilly actually asserted that "it was wrong for Zimmerman to confront Martin based on his appearance," which hardly amounts to a total defense of Zimmerman's actions."  Full article

Ann Coulter  "After attacking Bill O’Reilly’s history last week, I’ll defend his sociology this week. On Monday, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell ridiculed Fox News’ O’Reilly for saying that single motherhood is responsible for the the high black crime rate.

"O’Reilly said, quite correctly: “The reason there is so much violence and chaos in the black precincts is the disintegration of the African-American family. Right now, about 73 percent of all black babies are born out of wedlock. That drives poverty. And the lack of involved fathers leads to young boys growing up resentful and unsupervised. And it has nothing to do with slavery. It has everything to do with you Hollywood people and you derelict parents.”
O’Donnell mocked O’Reilly, saying that “the struggles of black America have nothing to do with slavery in Bill O’Reilly’s very narrow and uneducated mind.”"....

There's that word again
