Obama confronts Congress on economy, debt and Libya
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/post/obama-the-confrontational/2011/06/29/AGlUVtqH_blog.html?wpisrc=nl_pmpolitics“Let’s see, blaming Bush is wearing thin. Can’t blame the media—I need them all tingling for 2012. Guess I’ll go after Congress, now that there are some Republicans there. No one will remember that the Democrat-controlled Congress in 2010 was unable to pass a budget, even with my strong leadership on the issue, while the Republican House has passed one. I can blast them and still make my tee time.” ~BO. Excerpt: President Obama had a simple message for congressional Republicans in a press conference Wednesday: Stand up and lead. Obama, often in harsh and stark terms, condemned the approach that House and Senate Republicans have adopted in the final stretch of the negotiations surrounding the increase in the nation’s debt limit. “They’re in one week, they’re out one week,” said Obama of Congress. “And then they’re saying Obama needs to step in. I’ve been here.” He repeatedly challenged Republicans to make compromises in order to adopt a truly “balanced approach” to the debt deal; “Call me naive, but my expectation is leaders are going to lead,” he said.

Baldwin, who only started tweeting last month, suggested the Minnesota Baldwin tweeted. “Anyone that inarticulate and full of shit who is raising money that fast…is beholden to some mighty thuggish interests.” (Classier than the average leftist. ~Bob.)
Excerpt: In an implicit admission that Israel is so threatened by terrorism that it is not only surrounded by countries and territories that produce terrorists but also unwillingly harbors terrorists within its own territory in a way the most other nations in the world do not, the Obama administration is currently listing Israel among 36 “specially designated countries” it believes “have shown a tendency to promote, produce, or protect terrorist organizations or their members.” Also included on the list--separately from Israel --are the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza , as well as Egypt , Jordan , Syria and Lebanon , the four nations bordering Israel

The Religious Fanatiscism of Bill Maher
Excerpt: While secular fundamentalists are scornful of all conservatives, there is a special place in Secular Hell for conservatives who happen to be African-American or female. The most visceral hatred is reserved for them. It is an article of secular fundamentalist faith that liberal/left ideology is the only acceptable worldview for African-Americans and women; those race traitors and gender traitors who dare to think independently must be made examples of, like runaway slaves. Secular fundamentalists are rightly offended by the notion that immutable characteristics such as race and gender should limit what people are allowed to achieve, but nonetheless imply that such characteristics should limit what people are allowed to think.

Rally 'Round Melanie Phillips
Excerpt: But, while her enemies may have wounded Melanie Phillips, they haven't silenced her. There she is this week on her website, http://www.melaniephillips.com/, and in the Daily Mail, arguing that British teachers have a duty of care to their students and, therefore, shouldn't go on strike to protest government cutbacks. Last week, Ms. Phillips saluted Michelle Bachman as someone who plainly "gets it" over the importance to the West of the survival of Israel Europe : Immigration, Islam and the West in sounding an alarm which needed to be sounded. It also made her a target.
The Unguarded Life is Unsustainable
Excerpt: We think of the unguarded life as normal, and of crime as a city problem that makes police necessary, rather than as a human problem that makes precaution and vigilance necessary. But an Arcadian vision of the American past, in which farmers never had to worry about crime or human predators, is a myth. When people in less-populated, rural or quasi-rural areas have to take their own security precautions, that in itself is not a sign of civilizational breakdown. The breakdown, if there is one, will be evident if the people as a whole don’t appreciate and quickly revert to their inherent right and responsibility to protect themselves.
Funny but true. ~Bob.
Excerpt: The Muslim Brotherhood, which has long been viewed as the greatest threat to a democratic regime, has increasingly stayed away from any attempts at unified action. It did not participate in the National Conference meeting on May 8—which gathered over one thousand participants from every other party and movement—claiming “work not talk” needed to be done ahead of the elections. It was later revealed that the Brotherhood hosted a joint conference with Salafis that same day; some 50,000 people reportedly showed up. Then on May 27, when activists called for a “day of rage” and a “second revolution”—in large part in protest against the military’s handling of national affairs—the only groups absent were the Islamists, some of whom released statements calling the participating protesters sinners. The Muslim Brotherhood said that the protest was “against the people of Egypt

Islamic Ritual Prayer Conducted At Toronto District School Board Middle School
Excerpt: Every Friday my daughter's school cafeteria changes into a mosque as dozens of Muslim boys and their imams (Islamic preachers) lead Islamic ritual prayers and no one else can even walk through the cafeteria. Some imams (Islamic preachers) come from the outside of the school and lead Muslim students in the Islamic prayer and this happens at the school Cafeteria after the lunch on Fridays. All other non-Muslims are in classes in the afternoon when they are using the cafeteria as mosque. There is a mosque nearby but the Muslim kids pray in the school.
Mad Media and Jewish Dogs
Excerpt: The Terroristinian Muslim gangs who call themselves Palestinians are the unwanted houseguest on the couch of the world. They came, they crashed, then they refused to leave. With an entire UN agency dedicated to their welfare, billions in aid money and a media presence rivaling most rock stars-- the 50,000th Times article on them warns us once again that they remain forgotten. Good Lord! Forgotten? How they can ever be forgotten when they never go away. When they never stop begging for handouts and killing people at the same time. When they suck in money and blood in equal proportions, and then invite photographers down to see the babies that they killed and then dug up for the cameras. Witness our suffering, but try not to take any pictures of us driving away in our BMW's to our newest hotel, La Plaza De Fraude.

Defense cuts appear likely as pressure grows on debt deal
Excerpt: Defense cuts proposed by the White House are unlikely to keep a debt-ceiling deal from passing Congress, sources say. As few as 30 House Republicans would likely consider voting against a debt-ceiling deal that cuts $300 billion from security spending, according to a GOP aide.
Corporate Jet Benefit Gets Six Obama Mentions, Aids Little in Deficit Cuts
Excerpt: President Barack Obama’s proposal to end a tax break for corporate jet owners, a repeated refrain in his news conference yesterday, would achieve less than one-tenth of 1 percent of his target for reducing the federal deficit. Changing the provision would put $3 billion into the Treasury over a decade, said two congressional aides familiar with the proposal. Democrats want to require companies that use jets for business purposes to write off the cost over seven years, instead of five years allowed under current law, said a congressional aide and a White House aide. Airplanes used for charter or commercial flights already must be depreciated over seven years. (So who passed \evil tax breaks for corporate jets? Who signed those breaks into law? The Democrat Congress and Barack Obama. See next story from 2009. ~Bob.)

Mark Halperin apologizes for Obama gaffe
Excerpt: Mark Halperin, editor-at-large for Time, called President Obama “a dick” on Thursday on a popular MSNBC morning show and then quickly apologized. “I thought he was a dick yesterday,” Halperin, who also is a senior political analyst for MSNBC, said on Morning Joe, referring to the President’s conduct during his press conference. Host Joe Scarborough hoped to prevent the comment from being broadcast, saying, “Delay that. Delay that. What are you doing? I can’t believe… don’t do that. Did we delay that?” Just minutes later, Halperin quickly apologized to the president and viewers for his choice of words. “Joking aside, this is an absolute apology. I shouldn’t have said it. I apologize to the president and the viewers who heard me say that,” Halperin said. (I guess if the editor at large for TIME magazine thinks so---that’s good enough for me! This is what’s known as a classic Freudian slip. Even liberals now think that Obama is an abject failure and an Ass to boot. Who am I to argue with the esteemed Mr. Halperin? --TC)
Time For Congress to Lead on the Debt Ceiling
Excerpt: As we saw at yesterday's press conference, President Obama is not going to lead on the debt ceiling issue. Nor is he going to compromise or play a mediating role. He is more interested in blaming others for his troubles, demagoguing other solutions and running for re-election. This is why conservatives need to be reminded not to yield to scare tactics.

Surging Bachmann Under 'Well-Orchestrated' Media Attack
Excerpt: Just days after announcing her presidential candidacy, Minnesota GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann finds herself on the defensive and under attack from virtually every quarter in the media. Small stumbles are being amplified across the media landscape, and Bachmann finds herself compared with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin at every turn. Even the UK Daily Mail on Tuesday reported Bachmann “is already following in Mrs. Palin’s footsteps of making unfortunate public gaffes after pulling a clanger in a television interview.”

The wheels come off
Excerpt: Listen carefully to those screams of outrage and sounds of shattering glass you hear wafting from the streets of Athens Western Europe has lived in a bubble. Shielded by US nuclear arms and guarded by hundreds of thousands of American troops, Europeans have been free to create their quasi-socialist paradises. It was fun while it lasted: Spend the first 30 years of your life as a "student," enter the workforce late, retire early, get six-week vacations at taxpayers' expense and lavish 30-year pensions --la dolce vita had nothing on this.

A flotilla of fiends -- and useful idiots
Excerpt: The Israeli Defense Force will try to minimize it. "Human-rights activists" (shadowed by terrorists and racist skinheads) claim they don't want it.

Justice Justice
Excerpt: Want to give your hobby the veneer of righteousness? Just think of a noun, affix the word “justice” after it, and voilà : You’re part of the solution! Yes, it’s that easy. In fact, the abuse of “justice” has become so widespread that you can immediately identify the political slant of any group just by looking for the word “justice” in their name or literature; if they prominently feature justice, then they’re left-wing; if they don’t, then they’re not. Of course, this was part of the plan from the beginning: to use language as a weapon. Find a word that everybody likes, with a universally positive vibe, and then use it relentlessly and ungrammatically as a catch-all euphemism for socialist goals. We want justice, thus we must be the good guys! And any group that isn’t for some kind of justice must therefore be in favor of injustice, and as a result must be the bad guys. (Damn. I wish I’d have thought of this when I was young and single. I’d have started the :”Campaign for Sexual Justice” so even ugly guys like me could be successful with beautiful women. ~Bob.)

Saudi cleric Shaykh Abd-al-Rahman al-Barrak said women will “tempt God’s wrath” and “they will die, God willing, and will not enjoy this.”
Mileage Math Mania
Excerpt: When you see one of the “Save Mother Earth” projects that requires federal tax credits and is still a bad economic deal for the buyer, my immediate suspicion is that it is hiding an enormous energy input that destroys most of the ecological reason for doing it. There may well be a case for the government subsidizing basic research or demanding new technologies. Throughout American history, such subsidies or government purchases have often more than paid for themselves in technological development and economic growth. (…) R&D encouragement, however, is not the same as subsidies to production, which can introduce severe distortions without producing much of value. Corn ethanol subsidies are among the most obvious of these — but in another ten years, we are probably going to see a lot of “green” technology, such as hybrids, fall into the same category. (The free market LOVES good ideas. It runs on them. It HATES bad ideas and runs FROM them. When a third party—in this case, government—has to give you a substantial discount to get you to buy the product, that’s almost the definition of a bad idea. Ron P.)

School administration take part preparing the Cafeteria and making it into mosque every Friday and no one but Muslims can use the Cafeteria during the Islamic prayers on Friday.

Muslim Brotherhood Figure and Former Spokesman in the West: Establish a Global Islamic State
Excerpt: In a June 8, 2011 interview with the Egyptian daily Al-Shorouq, Dr. Kamal Al-Helbawy, former Muslim Brotherhood spokesman in the West, called upon the Arab youth to launch a new revolution that would eliminate the borders drawn by imperialist nations and bring about the establishment of a global Islamic state – "called 'The United States of Islam.'"

Excerpt: The fallout from the Anthony Weiner fiasco includes a mystery no one yet has resolved, especially the media which is ignoring it like the plague. Make that: Two mysteries. Mystery # 1) How is it that Anthony Weiner, a Jew, married a devout Muslim woman, and vice-versa? Mystery #2) How is it that a devout Muslim woman with strong ties to the notorious Muslim Brotherhood is working within a trusted position in the highest levels of the Department of State?
Economy: Reagan Gets No Credit, Obama Gets No Blame
Excerpt: Unemployment. It peaked in the early '80s at 10.8 percent, even higher than during "The Great Recession" (aka the economy "inherited" by President Barack Obama). In 2010, the unemployment rate hit 10.2 percent, which means the early '80s still holds the record for the "worst unemployment rate since the Great Depression." What most people care about are jobs. By that standard, Reagan faced an even tougher economy. Throw in a higher rate of inflation -- 1980's 13.5 percent average vs. 2011's 2.6 percent -- and much higher prime interest rates -- 20 percent vs. 3.25 percent -- and the early '80s looked even grimmer than The Great Recession. (The tough times of the 80s really started in the 70s. Both Nixon and Ford tried to “Whip Inflation Now,” though their 4% to 5% paled compared to the disaster of Carter’s 10% to 12%. That economy was caused by many things, but chief among them were government printing of currency and unrealistic demands by unionized industrial labor. Indeed, those times created what we now call the “Rust Belt;” many New England towns that had been heavily unionized saw their economies implode. Athol and Gardner , Massachusetts

Liberals, not Bachmann, are hypocrites on Medicaid
Excerpt: Any outspoken, pro-life, conservative woman will be the target of unfair, almost rabid attacks by liberals in the media. But the latest left-wing talking point against Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is perhaps the stupidest criticism any politician has endured this year. It turns out that Bachmann's husband, who runs a mental health clinic, has helped Medicaid patients. What's wrong with that? Well, you see, Bachmann has opposed the expansion of Medicaid, and she generally favors limited government.

Michele Bachmann and the politics of the personal
Excerpt: “After our second child was born, we became pregnant with a third baby,” said Bachmann. “And it was an unexpected baby, but of course we were delighted to have this child. And the child was coming along, and we ended up losing that child. And it was devastating for both of us, as you can imagine if any of you have lost a child.” She told the story in the context of her opposition to abortion. But, Bachmann’s decision to reveal something so personal is telling — and provides a window into her unique appeal in the race. The reality of presidential politics — and all politics for that matter — is that voters tend to make their decisions not on dry policy matters but rather on what we describe, for lack of a better word, as “feel”.

Excerpt: Earlier this month, Sen. Marco Rubio made an auspicious debut.
Unlike so many first turns in the upper chamber, Rubio’s stirring remarks, which celebrated American exceptionalism, caught fire. The Florida Republican’s words were cited by Senate colleagues and championed by conservatives. To no one’s surprise, the push to put Rubio on the 2012 ticket only increased, even though the charismatic freshman continues to swat away the chatter. Look for the Rubio buzz to continue. In an interview with National Review Online, he says that he will take to the Senate floor for his second speech this week — and this time he will have President Obama in his crosshairs.
