Barack Obama wants to allow these murderers to move freely across our border. OK let him take that position. But then he needs to also concede that he cares not a damn for my health and safety.

Mark Steyn on Obama Regime's Never Ending Defense of All Things Muslim

The great thing about Steyn is that he always gets right to the heart of the matter. Here are a couple of relevant quotes.


. . . if I had to summon up Gitmo in a single image, it would be the brand-new copy of the Koran in each cell: To reassure incoming prisoners that the filthy infidels haven't touched the sacred book with their unclean hands, the Korans are hung from the walls in pristine, sterilized surgical masks. It's one thing for Muslims to regard infidels as unclean, but it's hard to see why it's in the interests of us infidels to string along with it and thereby validate their bigotry. What does that degree of prostration before their prejudices tell them about us? It’s a problem that Muslims think we’re unclean. It’s a far worse problem that we go along with it.
Take this no-name pastor from an obscure church who was threatening to burn the Koran. He didn’t burn any buildings or women and children. He didn’t even burn a book. He hadn’t actually laid a finger on a Koran, and yet the mere suggestion that he might do so prompted the president of the United States to denounce him, and the secretary of state, and the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, various G7 leaders, and golly, even Angelina Jolie. President Obama has never said a word about honor killings of Muslim women. Secretary Clinton has never said a word about female genital mutilation. General Petraeus has never said a word about the rampant buggery of pre-pubescent boys by Pushtun men in Kandahar. But let an obscure man in Florida so much as raise the possibility that he might disrespect a book – an inanimate object – and the most powerful figures in the Western world feel they have to weigh in.
Aside from all that, this obscure church’s website has been shut down, its insurance policy has been canceled, its mortgage has been called in by its bankers. Why? As Diana West wrote, why was it necessary or even seemly to make this pastor a non-person? Another one of Obama's famous "teaching moments"? In this case teaching us that Islamic law now applies to all? Only a couple of weeks ago, the president, at his most condescendingly ineffectual, presumed to lecture his moronic subjects about the First Amendment rights of Imam Rauf. Where's the condescending lecture on Pastor Jones' First Amendment rights?
………………
It is a basic rule of life that if you reward bad behavior, you get more of it. Every time Muslims either commit violence or threaten it, we reward them by capitulating. Indeed, President Obama, Justice Breyer, General Petraeus, and all the rest are now telling Islam, you don’t have to kill anyone, you don’t even have to threaten to kill anyone. We’ll be your enforcers. We’ll demand that the most footling and insignificant of our own citizens submit to the universal jurisdiction of Islam. So Obama and Breyer are now the “good cop” to the crazies’ "bad cop." Ooh, no, you can’t say anything about Islam, because my friend here gets a little excitable, and you really don’t want to get him worked up. The same people who tell us "Islam is a religion of peace" then turn around and tell us you have to be quiet, you have to shut up because otherwise these guys will go bananas and kill a bunch of people.

LOUDER WITH CROWDER: EVIL RICH PEOPLE!

This video has some insight into how Obamanomics is out of touch with the realities of our economy. The Light of Chicago would put the jobs of twenty-five employees at risk just to keep alive the hate and fear based jealousy of 'the rich' that seems to be basic to energizing most of the left.

Comment Of the Day

“He was looking for choices that would limit U.S. involvement and provide a way out.”

Just what you’d expect with one man in the room looking to get out and the rest looking to win."

Here’s three options for you, Barry, that are more your speed:

1) Cut and run.
2) Lose quickly.
3) Lose slowly.

Bolton suggests Obama's comments about "absorb[ing]" 9-11 shows he "doesn't care about Americans dying"

The MSM's silence about this book is near absolute.

If this is success, what is failure?

By: Noemie Emery
Examiner Columnist
"Seen from the inside, the administration is an astonishing success," says E.J. Dionne of the beleaguered regime of his president. "Inside of what?" one is tempted to ask, but by some lights, it's true.
"President Obama has pushed through a whole lot of bills, and people hate all of them, a historic result accomplished by no other president. Of course, no other has tried.
""It's a losing-by-winning dynamic," says Michael Goodwin, as most presidents suffer when their agenda is stifled. He is the first to be in really deep trouble because his agenda has passed.
"Inside the bubble (the bunker? the madhouse?), the celebration, and the confusion, go on."

Dobbs to Obama: 'Quit Whining and Start Leading'

Dobbs says Obama should quit whining and lead all Americans not just some groups. Since there is nothing in Obama's history to demonstrate that he was ever willing or capable of that stretch, we probably should not expect to see it happen.

If the Obama Administration Is "that frightened by an American TV show, how do they deal with the real world?"

Comment of the Day

Americans voted for Obama because he was a non-threatening black and they wanted to participate in making history. It’s that simple.
But now that he’s in office, they don’t like what he’s selling. A few more Obama “successes” and his poll numbers will really crater, especially when our energy prices “necessarily skyrocket”.

Newsweek Senior Editor Describes Obama as "Disconnected"

She might be right. If Obama feels that his executive fiat will merely cause difficulty for working men he is putting out of their jobs for six months then disconnected is a charitable assessment. We don't even have to look at the ripple effect to see the presidential disconnect. But I have to wonder if the man has ever heard of the ripple effect.

Barges Skimming Oil out of Water in Gulf Inactivated by Coast Guard While They Confirm Presence of a Sufficient Number of Life Jackets

********************
***AMAZING BUT TRUE***FUN FACTS ABOUT THE OBAMA CIRCUS***IT'S EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF AS MR. CHICAGO POLITICS PARTIES ON, GOLFS AND LAUGHS AT THE RUBES***
************************************************************************
I came across this story at Hot Air.com.
First three short quotes from an ABC account and then a video from ABC.

Sixteen barges sat stationary today, although they were sucking up thousands of gallons of BP's oil as recently as Tuesday. Workers in hazmat suits and gas masks pumped the oil out of the Louisiana waters and into steel tanks. It was a homegrown idea that seemed to be effective at collecting the thick gunk.
………………..
"The Coast Guard came and shut them down," Jindal said. "You got men on the barges in the oil, and they have been told by the Coast Guard, 'Cease and desist. Stop sucking up that oil.'"
……………….
But the Coast Guard ordered the stoppage because of reasons that Jindal found frustrating. The Coast Guard needed to confirm that there were fire extinguishers and life vests on board, and then it had trouble contacting the people who built the barges.


I will finish with some good comments from Hot Air readers about the story.

The way BO is acting, it looks like he doesn’t care about 2012 which seems very suspicious…as if he/they have an agenda to take entire control before then.
Otherwise, he’s an idiot.
You decide.
