Obama countdown

Morning roundup

  Well, the MSM is doing their usual shilling for the hopelessly overwhelmed "young" president. Quite simply, the presidency has grown too big for a single person.
  Yeah. Uh huh.Sure.
  Well, maybe for the WRONG person.
  But, heck, you shouldn't run for a job if you can't do it.
And you shouldn't run for a job if you had little experience and no knowledge of how to do it.
  You shouldn't run for a job if it's just to get people to suck up to you.
But let's be clear about the causes of this shrinking presidency, according to Newsweek:

  • It's not because this president has expanded the presidency alarmingly by adding stuff like the auto and banking industry to your responsibilities.
  • It's not because the man himself is incapable.
  • It's not because he doesn't know what he's doing.
  • It's not....his fault.
  Read about it over at Newsbusters:
In the November 22 issue of Newsweek magazine, Daniel Stone defended the Obama administration by blaming the institution of the presidency for failures rather than the chief executive himself: "The issue is not Obama, it’s the office....Can any single person fully meet the demands of the 21st-century presidency?" The same argument was used to excuse an overwhelmed Jimmy Carter 30 years earlier.
The sub-headline for the piece read: "The presidency has grown, and grown and grown, into the most powerful, most impossible job in the world." At one point, Stone explained: "Among a handful of presidential historians Newsweek contacted for this story, there was a general consensus that the modern presidency may have become too bloated."
At American Thinker: On Soros, Beck and the Holocaust:

The uproar revolves around Beck's portrayal of Soros' role in the Holocaust. Beck repeats the widely-known story concerning Soros'  involvement in handing deportation orders to Jewish families on behalf of the Nazis. He emphasizes that Soros was only fourteen at the time, and does not condemn the activity, asserting that the matter remains "between Soros and God".
I happen to have researched the episode in depth for my upcoming book Death by Liberalism,  and I can state here that Beck's narrative is completely accurate. His treatment of it is commendable, in particular his statement that no one has a right to judge the efforts of Jews to survive in Nazi-occupied Europe. 
  And surprise! Republicans are growing skeptical of the global warming claptrap. Read it over at Yahoo and be sure to enjoy the loonie bin picture of the alarmists gathered on the beach.
  Now more liberals are pushing for limits of free speech. Oh, not their own, of course. YOURS!

  And liberals are encouraging not only mischief during the lame duck session, but also Obama to govern through executive orders, thereby circumventing the will of the people and the law.

  1. I've conditioned myself to expect very little in the way of intelligent discourse from Al Sharpton and I'm seldom disappointed. Yes the left feels really threatened and looks to the FCC to suppress political dissent. Hearing this drivel from an imbecile such as Sharpton is one thing but it is quite another thing when a sitting US Senator suggest Fox News should be shut down by the FCC.

  2. They're doing the same regarding the executive orders and ramming through whatever they want. These people are not just tone deaf: they are defiant of the will of the people, they are fascist, they are scary and they belong on their own planet.
    I meant to post that video you reference but ran out of time this morning. I waver between fear of what they will do and an urge to march in the streets brandishing my "Don't Tread On Me" naval Union Jack flag, which I have had long before the tea parties started.
    These people are being exposed for what they are. As the Midnight Truckin' Gary and Eric say, we WANT them to keep talking. We WANT them to reveal who they are. It only makes it easier to stop them because they are creating their own opposition.
    Glad to know you're still out there.

  3. West Virginia isn't California, that is like in Indiana and Ohio Senators are still expected to have horse sense.
    Those comment by Rockerfeller will probably cause him some grief if they are widely viewed. I hope Fox News takes up that dare. Notice the background for these comments was about the good of cable channel subscribers.
