When It Comes To School, Red States Rule

This sounds like a very even-handed, fair and balanced accounting of the situation. LOL!

Another famous Obama quote:

Sooo, Obama spending more of our money that we don't have makes us all more prosterous. Gosh, I didn't know that!

But you must admit it is somewhat two-faced for Pubs to insist that we not leave our debts to our posterity, but still refuse to pay for them, especially since so much of it was incurred on their watch.

Dutch Police Use 'Decoy Jews'

Just another small reminder of how bad things have gotten for Jews in all of Europe. And another PC clue as to who the perpetrators are. This is what happens when you get get overly liberal governments that feel they need to nurture immigrant cultures at the expense of their own, creating all manner of excuses and protections for otherwise unacceptable behavior. European orthodox Jews have expressed surprise that American Jews can openly wear a yarmulke without fear of being attacked. Lets keep it that way. It starts at the top.

Lodewijk Asscher, Amsterdam's mayor, has ordered the new decoy strategy to cut the number of verbal and physical attacks on Jews, amid fears that anti-Semitic "hate crime" is on the rise.

"Jews in at least six Amsterdam neighbourhoods often cannot cross the street wearing a skullcap without being insulted, spat at or even attacked," according to local reports.

Well, the phrase "often of immigrant origin" does not connote "all of immigrant origin". Let's remember that for the most part, no European country has a history of being welcoming to Jews.

Of course, this is no surprise. They've been doing it for years. That doesn't make it right.

Obama hates seniors...

I fully anticipate we'll soon see moveon.org ads depicting Obama throwing a senior in a wheelchair over a cliff. Right? I mean that's a fair organization isn't it?

The base of Obama-past is really loving this guy about now. He gave the rich tax cuts, got us into two more wars and escalated the war in Afghanistan, he renditions detainees, he's in bed with Wall Street, kept Hotel Gitmo open, no public option, slashes 500 billion from Medicare with ObamaDontCare, and now he's going to slash Medicare even futher.... Yeah baby, this guy's on a roll. If he keeps this up I might even vote for him. 8O

The problem is you don't know which BHO you'll get on any given day. A couple months ago he gets UBL, yesterday he pouts and storms out of a meeting to get a diaper change. He's a mix of Reagan's third term and Jimmy Carter's second. However, a little heavier on the Carter side.
