The Error-Ridden Obama Middle East Policy

Commentary "In a must-read analysis of the Obami assault on Israel, Elliott Abrams writes: 'Since the Oslo Accords of 1993, 17 years of efforts under three American presidents and six Israeli prime ministers have taught five clear lessons.

Today the only factor uniting Palestinian, Israeli, and Arab leaders is distrust of the quality, sagacity, and reliability of American leadership in the region.' " Emphasis added.

Book: "That's No Angry Mob, That's My Mom: Team Obama's Assault on Tea-Party, Talk-Radio Americans"

Amazon "Graham, known for his searing wit and controversial comments, also explains who the tea party “activists” really are: ordinary, everyday citizens pushed into action by the threat of higher taxes and increased government intrusion. Tackling everything from the economy and education to health care and the housing market, Graham argues that it’s up to us to take control back from the government bureaucrats and to restore the home-spun values of hard work, fair play, and individual responsibility. That’s No Angry Mob, That’s My Mom shows us how." From The 921 Project

O’Keefe Deserves an Apology From MSNBC… At the Very Least

Big Journalism "Even today, MSNBC is negligent and deceitful in its “reporting” on this latest development. Their headline reads: “O’Keefe, others plan to plead guilty.” That’s their angle?

We’re already seeing signs that our interest rates will have to go up in order to sell more paper, which will cause the deficit projections here to actually fall short of reality. We could be looking at a collapse scenario where we can’t borrow enough to keep up with our interest payments by the time this decade concludes." People who are committed to Obama and Democrats must be totally unaware.

Pete Wehner refutes the tired "Bush lied" line

Politics Daily "A careful analysis of several of these charges will reveal, I think, how remarkably weak and misleading is the case that supposedly "proves" George W. Bush took America to war based on a pack of lies. For more, read on. (Because of the unusual length of this response, I'm dealing with just five of Corn's main charges.)"
