Ignoring the evidence

It’s no surprise that Barry can’t see the nose on his face. Our affirmative action president has never had to see his nose in order to move forward. There was always someone standing by to assist him.

But General Casey’s inability to see the obvious is downright frightening. This is not a good time to advise your son or daughter or those of a friend to enlist. They’d be safe from white supremacism, true, but defnitely not from the evil of jihad. All we can be sure of from the denial going on about Maj. Muslim’s murderous performance is that there are going to be more Fort Hoods. And probably very soon.

How a real president behaves

GWB and Laura quietly visit the wounded at Fort Hood. While Barry and Michele, neither of whom have much love for the country, much less its military, and show it time and again, continue to par-tay.

All politics is local

The old truism, oft attributed to former House Speaker Tip O’Neill, seems to be the reason the Democrat won in NY23–the only nationally-highlighted race yesterday, outside Virginia and New Jersey, to survive a Republican sweep, an apparent early repudiation of Barry.

I thought it was old Texas favorite Sam Rayburn who said it first, but I seem to be wrong about that. Anyhow, in the end, it came down to local perceptions of Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman and his opponent, despite Hoffman’s endorsements from many national Republicans, including Sarah Palin. An Ann Althouse reader in NY23 explains what those local perceptions were. They had nothing at all to do with Barry.

One thing Mr. Sam did say that seems to fit the Democrats’ overall situation: "When you get too big a majority, you’re immediately in trouble."

UPDATE:  It certainly didn’t help that Hoffman didn’t even live in the district. Geez.

“…eventually all medicine will be rationed by politics”

That is, says the Wall Street Journal, the inevitable outcome of "the worst piece of post-New Deal legislation ever introduced" the 1,990-page "runaway train" the Democrats are just proud as punch of producing. Barry calls it a "critical milestone." With any luck, it will be one that costs them the White House for a generation.

Chicago does Honduras

I don’t quite know what to make of this, whether it’s as important as it looks, or just more confusion. I suppose we’ll have to wait a few years before the fawning media gets around to telling us just what threats Hilarity and John ("I still have the hat!") Kerry made to twist their arms. They’ve even been battling the lawyers at the Library of Congress to try to restore their fig leaf of legality.

One good thing. When the ousted wouldbe dictator (whose room at the Brazilian embassy basement actually has a tinfoil curtain) starts spouting off about all those awful, mind-ray-blasting Jews, then, whether or not his big buddy Hugo C. comes to the White House for a celebratory grip-and-grin, Barry will look like a bigger fool than he does already.

UPDATE:  Well, there seems to be some level of hope that this anti-democracy push will not succeed.

White House Photo of The Day

Caption says the "reporters" are studying the inscriptions on the shovels for the ceremonial dirt-turning for a memorial tree for fallen American troops. You know, while Barry dithers about whether they need reinforcements or not. This is what the legacy media does these days instead of asking hard questions. Bush quietly met with the survivors of the fallen. Barry turns their deaths into a photo op and a tree-planting. Frankly I think he prefers them fallen. The fallen don’t talk back.

Barry’s war on the coal industry

Sometimes it really looks like Obamlot is out to destroy the economy and much else. Or maybe they mean well but are just too stupid to figure it out. Where, for instance, do they think the electricity comes from? Pssst, guys, it’s not in the wall. It’s mostly from coal. What do they think people will do without ample electricity? Start an insurrection, probably. They sure ain’t gonna freeze in the dark while Michele and Barry party and play golf.
