The Beginning of the End of Obamaism?

Jennifer Rubin "We know that Obama, Pelosi, and Reid have been willing to sacrifice many in their ranks for the sake of the decades-old liberal dream of government-run health care. I don’t think that’s going to change. But what will, I suspect, is the willingness of their House and Senate colleagues to listen to political hokum (”The voters will learn to love it!”) and unsubstantiated spin (”Doing nothing is worse than passing a bill 60 percent of voters oppose”). " If Coakley wins, articles such as this will look pretty naive.

Remember the truck!

"There's something about that truck. How many times did Obama mention it in his speech at Coakley's rally in Boston at Northeastern on Sunday? I think the over/under is 15. With that truck Brown got inside Obama's head like a trash talking football stud running down his opponent's mama to throw him off his game. "He's driving his truck around the commonwealth and he says that he gets you," Obama said of Brown at the rally. "Everybody can run slick games," he added. "Forget the truck. Anybody can buy a truck." " Um, I believe Mr. Brown's response was-basically-not in this economy.

Secret Bill-Writing on the Rise in Washington

CNS News "...House and Senate produce a final bill by sitting around a table where the public can watch them work out their differences. It's a quaint idea, but a different modern reality has been on display this month. Democrats are refusing to open to the public the end-stage negotiations on how the government is going to change the delivery of health care. And it's not just on the high-profile health care bill; the trend on much legislation is to shut the door and keep the minority party, cable TV and other media on the outside."

He said WHAT?

Yahoo News “Why would you hand the keys to the car back to the same guys whose policies drove the economy into the ditch and then walked away from the scene of the accident?” [Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chris] Van Hollen said. “For the Republicans to say vote for us and bring back the guys who got us into this mess in the first place, I don’t think it’s a winner.”

Why Martin Luther King Was Republican

Human Events "In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism."-------MLK, Jr. & the Jews: King Was a Fan of Israel, Supported Its Security "The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. understood the meaning of discrimination and oppression. He sought ways to achieve liberation and peace, and he thus understood that a special relationship exists between African Americans and American Jews."

Coakley in free fall? Young voters for Scott Brown? "It shows Brown ahead 52%-43% and, amazingly, leading among voters under 30 by a 61%-30% margin.

Obama’s EEOC Nominee: Society Should ‘Not Tolerate Private Beliefs’ That ‘Adversely Affect’ Homosexuals

CNS News "Feldblum does recognize that elements of the homosexual agenda may infringe on Americans’ religious liberties. However, Feldblum argues that society should “come down on the side” of homosexual equality at the expense of religious liberty. Because the conflict between the two is “irreconcilable,” religious liberty -- which she also calls "belief liberty" -- must be placed second to the “identity liberty” of homosexuals." Barry knows how to pick 'em. Thanks, Bruce Springsteen.

Reversing Obama’s Worst Decision Yet?

Jennifer Rubin "...The kicker: “If Holder’s plans are thwarted, though, one top administration official, who also didn’t want to be named talking about delicate issues, notes there is a Plan B — reviving the case against the alleged 9/11 conspirators before a military tribunal, just as the Bush administration tried to do.” This would be a stunning turnaround, an admission of Holder’s irresponsibility and of the Justice Department’s loony leftism."

NOW .. MASSACHUSETTS by Neal Boortz

Nealz Nuze "Obama is a master at spouting the very rhetoric that appeals to people of minimal intelligence. Oh stop your screaming. You may not like it, but that's the case. After the 2008 election we were treated to numerous interviews with Obama voters .. .and to a man they embarrassed themselves with their abject stupidity and ignorance. I'll never forget the Obama voters - chosen by Obama campaign workers - who were interviewed at one northeast polling place on election day." More:...

“Let Me Be Perfectly Not Clear” and “Make Lots of Mistakes About It”

Victor Davis Hanson h/t to Pajamas Media "...the people have roared that they don’t want the remedies of statist health care, mega-deficits, higher taxes, more government, green boondoggles, apologetics abroad, blanket amnesty, and more lunatic appointments like Van Jones and Anita Dunn. But what is taking Obama down below 50% approval is mostly a public awareness that they elected a deeply cynical man, who either cannot or will not speak the truth or keep his promises (note the Nixonian resonance in “perfectly clear about…”)."
