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.
