We're on it 364 days a year... what terror attacks?

Incredible incompetence was demonstrated during this interview with Diane Sawyer. Not one, but two huge gaffes were made. Had such comedic performance happened during the Bush administration the media would have been apoplectic.

Just remember, liberals are always brilliant with a command of the issues and conservatives are dunderheads. That's the script and SNL will never stray too far
from it.

The day after...

Obama fatigue

Even former supporters are tired. Or as this lady stated, "Frankly, I’m exhausted. I’m tired of defending you… My husband and I thought we were beyond the hot dog and beans of our lives."

Krauthammer on the $50,000,000,000 stimulus

According to Krauthammer, this latest stimulus proposal is just an effort for government to appear as if it's doing something, but in the end, it will all add up to just more debt.

The stunning decline of Barack Obama: 10 key reasons why the Obama presidency is in meltdown – Telegraph Blogs

Image via WikipediaThe last few weeks have been a nightmare for President Obama, in a summer of discontent in the United States which has deeply unsettled the ruling liberal elites, so much so that even the Left has begun to turn against the White House. While the anti-establishment Tea Party movement has gained significant ground and is now a rising and powerful political force to be reckoned with, many of the president’s own supporters as well as independents are rapidly losing faith in Barack Obama, with open warfare breaking out between the White House and the left-wing of the Democratic Party. While conservatism in America grows stronger by the day, the forces of liberalism are growing increasingly weaker and divided. Full Story>>

Missouri voters reject Obamacare: Prop C passes with over 70% of vote

Given an opportunity to make their voices heard over the recently passed healthcare legislation, Missouri voters overwhelmingly rejected Obamacare. However, it is interesting that the only two people the local news could find to interview were opposed to Prop C.

Obama to GOP: 'You can't have the keys back, you don't know how to drive.'

The Washington Post--The president said the Republican Party lack one "single, solitary new idea" and are "betting on amnesia" to help them in November.

Cornel West: President Obama's 'No Messiah'

Cornel West is a man of the Left; Princeton University professor, member of the Democratic Socialists of America, and Obama supporter. That's what makes his comments in a recent interview all the more interesting:

On Glenn Beck: "I'll fight for the right of Glenn Beck to express his opinion. Even he has a right to be wrong, which he is most of the time. ... Beck appears to have a certain preoccupation with black folk. Why is he so obsessed with black people? I notice he doesn't give the Amish that much attention."

On what President Obama is doing wrong: "While he's made some good, positive changes, I don't think he's a messiah or even a very progressive politician. It turns out when you talk about hope, you have to be a long-distance runner."

On his current relationship with Obama: "He doesn't return my calls. ... I did 65 events for my dear brother Barack on the campaign trail but have not seen him since Martin Luther King Day 2008. ... I couldn't even get a ticket to the Inauguration for my mother. ... I think he has the kind of disposition where he just moves on." Full Story>>

Cornel was interviewed on CNN after Obama won the election. He seems to have lost some of the optimism he expressed at that time.



By the way, there is also a Hollywood connection for Cornel. You might remember that he had a small part in the Matrix trilogy as a member of the council and he also had a hand in developing the storyline as well.

Carville still unhappy with Obama

Carville continues to vent his frustration at the White House. This time he is angry about the drilling moratorium and the effect it will have on the economy.

Obama loses drilling moratorium appeal

The Obama administration lost its court bid to maintain a six-month moratorium on offshore deepwater drilling which a federal judge ordered lifted last month.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the government's emergency request to stay that judge's order pending appeal.

The motion was denied because the government failed to show "a likelihood of irreparable injury if the stay is not granted," the appeals panel judges wrote in a 2-1 ruling. Continue>>

Obama appointee: Healthcare plan must redistribute wealth

Barack Obama made a recess appointment of David Berwick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services today.

Below is an excerpt from a 2008 speech given to a British audience in which he made the following statement, “Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized, and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is by definition redistributional.”



UPDATE: White House responds, well not really, but here is Gibbs not answering a reporter's question about Berwick's comments.

Obama already considered a better President than Reagan... by liberal academic pinheads

First he won the Nobel Peace Prize within a year of moving into the White House, and now, with less than 18 months of executive power under his belt, historians agree that President Obama is one of the greatest U.S. presidents this country has ever seen. Well, cracks the top 15, at least.

Using a multi-category rating scale [rankings], a Siena College Research Institute survey of 238 historians, academics and political scientists ranked Obama as the 15th greatest president since the nation’s founding. Sandwiched between Andrew Jackson and Lyndon Johnson, the 44th president beat out Ronald Reagan by three slots. Continue>>
