China's take on "Winners and losers in Snowden fiasco"
In case you were wondering how the US under Obama is respected by our rivals.
Global Times of China .... "Russia has impressed the world, which views the Kremlin as the "winner" and the White House as the "loser."
"This judgment is correct. In the Snowden case, all the other countries involved have become winners while the US is the sole loser. Washington put on a show of bravado, but failed to extradite Snowden in the end. By contrast, Moscow displayed its national characteristics of decisiveness and boldness and kept Washington at bay."
....
"Washington ate the dirt this time, but it does not necessarily mean it is really awed by Moscow. In the same manner, Washington is unlikely to fear Beijing, and Beijing needn't fear Washington. What Beijing should care about most is how to maximize its interests in its relations with Washington.
"Snowden can do more in a country like Russia. The performance that has disgraced the US is far from over."

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!"

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:".....
...."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.""
.....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.”

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.

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.
