As Obama looks forward with the prospects of facing Romney, his team is in search of some policy initiatives to build a campaign narrative around. Enter, the Buffett Rule.

Will put it back soon. Need to restore from backup.

Will put it back soon. 

I am not sure whether all polls should be taken at face value. I've been quite suspicious ever since I saw the ridiculous PPP national poll - 
Romney 23, Santorum 38, Gingrich 17, Paul 13  - from 2/11. It was not even close to the 2 other major national polls. Fox News from 2/10 has 
Romney 33, Santorum 23, Gingrich 22, Paul 15 , while Gallup Tracking has been in the field every day and on 2/12 is showing 
Romney 34, Santorum 27, Gingrich 16, Paul 8 .

Occupy Movement: Next Step Convergence

Joel S. Hirschhorn

There is a growing convergence of thinking about where the US Occupy movement should go as a next step to turning its values, concerns and commitments into changing what most Americans see as broken government under control of corporate interests. When it comes to political and social movements, history shows us that they usually fail not because they disappear, but rather because they become marginalized, unimportant despite a core group of committed people and groups.

After a week of having his name dragged through the mud by liberal political operatives, Herman Cain emerges from the allegations unscathed and to a large extent vindicated.  His upstanding character remains intact.

Well, well, well.  James Hansen is becoming rich by selling his global warming mantra to anyone who will listen.  He continues to exploit his tax payer funded position for personal gain.  But it is all well above board I am sure.  His position on global warming is not at all influenced by these lucrative outside engagements I am sure.

The evidence is mounting more than ever to suggest that President Obama is morphing into failed Democratic President Jimmy Carter.

The latest comparison was made by dour New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd in her column on July 30. This is some of what she said:

More constitution shredding by the Democrats.  They accuse the Republicans of shredding the Constitution on a regular basis but it is they who regularly run afoul of its plain and clear intent.  They do this by selective reading thereof.  Dishonest and self-serving interpretations designed to meet their needs du jour.

It is articles like this which raise the spirits.  Once again Sarah Palin has provided an astounding example of how the liberal media is written by a bunch of monkeys with typewriters.  Totally incompetent,  almost universally wrong, and always full of lies and misinformation the "lamestream media" step in it once again.

Obama appears to be giddy with power.  He is engaging in unlawful military action in Libya, ignoring the Constitution and the U.S. Congress, and nation building all at the same time.  He seems to think that he is above the law and is intent on continuing his power hungry rampage into the foreseen future.

The liberal media was giddy with glee at the prospect of digging up dirt on Sarah Palin in a FOIA release of her emails as Governor of Alaska.  The only problem is that the image of Palin which emerges from the emails is one of a hard-working, conscientious public servant who took her post seriously.

Once again we see that Obama is nothing but George W. Bush on steroids.  The Democrats decried Bush’s policies as having “shredded the Constitution”.  Now we see Obama once again picking up where Bush left off and going even further.

Well, I have to agree with the primary sentiment of the following editorial: Obama is a failed leader by his own words.  As a Senator he denounced the need to raise the debt ceiling as “a failure of leadership.”  I can’t agree more.
