Axelrod's Crazy 8s

IBD "Health Care: After a presidential "town hall" with few, if any, critics present to question false claims, the top White House political strategist provided an odd follow-up: an e-mail to everyone promising everything."

Live or Let Die

American Spectator "...And suddenly life and death health decisions evolve from something that is between you, your faith, your family, and your doctor, into highly-politicized issues that are the business of government and your fellow taxpayers."

Obama's Montana town hall not quite the 'Wild West'

Washington Examiner "Bozeman, Montana is a college town with many resident yuppies and is a home for multi-millionaires looking to buy their own piece of the West."

Glenn Foden, Townhall

Prairie-Fire Anger

Victor Davis Hanson "...I underestimated the righteous anger of those who are daily deprecated by a utopian class — one that has neither the ability nor the fortitude to achieve what it now wishes to undo in others."

The Hillary Doctrine

Wall Street Journal "Iran will likely be the acid test of the administration's outreach to Moscow. In efforts to engage, without preconditions, the world's rogue regimes, the early trial run looks to be Syria."

Who are the uninsured and should we pay to cover them?

Powerline "Obama knows he needs a big number of "uninsured" to even get in the vicinity of selling what he has in mind to a skeptical public. But the big number he has selected would not get him in the vicinity if the public better understood who it consists of."...."Whatever you think of either the justice or the wisdom of such a policy, it is not worth turning our health care system upside down in order to achieve."

Lefty boycott succeeding in getting advertisers to drop Glenn Beck

HotAir "Exit question: Just what would [Olbermann] have to say or do to warrant a rightroots boycott of Countdown’s advertisers? He can’t sink much lower. Someone set the bar, quick!"

Emanuel Wields Power Freely, and Faces the Risks

NY Times "At times, it seems as if Mr. Emanuel is White House chief of staff, political director, legislative director and communications director all rolled into one. He has fingers in almost every decision, like who gets invited to social events at the White House and how to shape economic and foreign policy."

Palin Wins ; If she's dim and Obama is brilliant, how did he lose the argument to her?

Wall Street Journal "Level-headed liberal commentators who favor more government in health care, including Slate's Mickey Kaus and the Washington Post's Charles Lane, have argued that the end-of-life provision in the bill is problematic--acknowledging in effect (and, in Kaus's case, in so many words) that Palin had a point."

The Torturers and the Secretary

Pajamas Media "[Obama] and Hillary had a choice between dishonor and war. They chose dishonor. And they have war. IEDs, many of them from Iran, are the biggest cause of American casualties in Afghanistan, aka Obama’s War. And he hasn’t heard the last from the Quds Force in Iraq, either, even though our soldiers are now locked in offsite bases. Iran’s been at war with us for thirty years, and the mullahs are not enchanted by his “special gift.” They intend to defeat us and eventually dominate us. We have yet to fight back effectively, and Hillary’s misrepresentations prove we have no intention of doing so."

Remember what victory means?

American Thinker "This is appalling ignorance. The Emperor did announce surrender, but he didn't sign it. One must wonder what kind of courses Obama took in college. We don't know because he refuses to release his transcripts. But if you trust the MSM, maybe you still think he is a towering intellect."
