More Obama change to believe in: Americans now see him as a partisan Democrat June 7, 2010 | 2:22 am One of the 2007-08 Obama presidential campaign's changes that Americans believed in by the many millions was his oft-repeated promise to work with all sides no matter what and change the harsh political tone of Washington. Good luck with that tired professed aspiration. George W. Bush promised the same thing a decade ago. That worked well for several minutes. Well, Bush is gone and the majority parties have switched places. Now Democrats run the whole D.C. show. And after almost 17 months of Democrat Obama's White House administration, it appears Americans have given up on his ...
How Obama’s Policy Ensures More Flotillas

How Obama’s Policy Ensures More Flotillas Evelyn Gordon - 06.07.2010 - 9:07 AM The Obama administration plans to use Israel’s botched raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla to force Jerusalem to end or at least drastically ease its blockade on Gaza, because “we need to remove the impulse for the flotillas,” a senior administration official told the New York Times. That single statement encapsulates everything that is wrong with Obama’s Mideast policy — and indeed, that of the entire West: willful blindness to facts that inevitably produces counterproductive policies. First, the statement assumes the flotilla was indeed motivated solely by the blockade. Yet the ...

Democrats Skip Town Halls to Avoid Voter Rage Bradley C. Bower/Associated Press Senator Arlen Specter listened to an angry constituent in Pennsylvania last year. By JEFF ZELENY Published: June 6, 2010 Sign in to Recommend Twitter comments (66) BEL AIR, Md. — The reception that Representative Frank Kratovil Jr., a Democrat, received here one night last week as he faced a small group of constituents was far more pleasant than his encounters during a Congressional recess last summer. Then, he was hanged in effigy by protesters. This time, a round of applause was followed by a glass of chilled wine, a plate of crackers and crudités as he mingled with an invitation-only audience ...

Obama brings Nixonian twist to oil spill Examiner Editorial June 7, 2010 A map of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response is seen behind President Barack Obama as he makes a statement after being briefed on the BP oil spill relief efforts in the Gulf Coast region, Friday, June 4, 2010, at Louis Armstrong International New Orleans Airport in Kenner, La. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak) (ASSOCIATED PRESS) Nothing more fully reveals the essential character of a person or group than a crisis. Thus, the ecological and political catastrophe of the Gulf oil spill has exposed a breathtaking level of incompetence, political opportunism and mendacity at the heart of the Obama administration. ...
Job offers were politics as usual

Job offers were politics as usual The White House's handling of Senate races in Colorado and Pennsylvania reeks of old-school, backroom wrangling. By The Denver Post Posted: 06/04/2010 01:00:00 AM MDT It's beyond discouraging to watch the White House flail about as it tries to squelch the developing story of how it tried to keep Andrew Romanoff out of Colorado's Senate race. The Obama administration repeatedly had said it never offered a job to Romanoff, but now officials are not only saying they dangled jobs in front of him but that they did so to avoid a "costly" primary. Federal law says it is illegal to "directly or indirectly" offer a job or ...

43 outpaced 44's Gulf trips By KENDRA MARR | 06/04/10 12:16 PM President Obama's visit to the Gulf Coast Friday is his third since the start of the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster 46 days ago – an opportunity, press secretary Robert Gibbs said Thursday, to get a full update on the response and "hear from non-elected individuals who are also suffering firsthand." But when it comes to visiting the disaster-stricken area, Obama still lags behind his predecessor, former President George W. Bush, whose slow and stumbling reaction to Hurricane Katrina drew scathing reviews and left a permanent mark on his approval rating. In the 46-day period in the fall of 2005, ...

WaPo Lets Anonymous Obama Officials Claim Obama's 'Much More' Aggressive on Terror Than Bush By Tim Graham (Bio | Archive) Fri, 06/04/2010 - 11:17 ET The Washington Post played up Barack Obama’s war-on-terror credentials at the top of Friday’s front page. (Or to use Team Obama lingo, their war on "man-caused disasters.") The Post used to be upset by secret terror attacks, but now they like them, if they help Obama look strong to voters. "U.S. ‘secret war’ expands globally," boasted the Post headline, "Terror groups are targets." News that doesn’t make Team Obama look good is harder to find. Take this Jeff Stein story from ...

Obama Should Heed His Campaign Rhetoric By Jay Ambrose The self-contradictions are catching up with the Obama administration. We will be transparent, they said. Only they aren't. We will be accountable. Anything but. You will find us nonpartisan and above politics as usual, they insisted. Hardly. The job offer to keep Rep. Joe Sestak of Pennsylvania out of a Senate primary is instructive on this score. While it may be more a mouse's squeak than a lion's roar as scandals go, the administration dodged questions about it for months and then finally put out a memo so vaguely worded as to arouse still more suspicion. That's a far cry from transparency, and about the only ...

The Left and Islam: A Love Story by Diana West At some future date, when what Andrew C. McCarthy calls "the freedom culture" is again secure (we hope), the jihad-opposition will see itself divided into two camps in histories written about our current time: those who ineffectually supported efforts to stop "terrorism" and other supposedly generic outbreaks of violence in such lands as Iraq and Afghanistan; and those, far fewer in number (at least in that difficult decade following 9/11), who recognized terrorism as but one aspect of the civilizational assault emanating from expansionist Islam. If the freedom culture wins, it will be because the latter group grew in ...
Disgracing America

Disgracing America by Mona Charen President Barack Obama, who got his start in politics in the living room of domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, and spent his first year in office apologizing for American history, has now decisively tipped U.S. foreign policy toward America's enemies. Events of the past week have left no doubt. There is a pattern. President "Let No Crisis Be Wasted" Obama twists events to justify his radical agenda. A financial crisis becomes the excuse for a massive health care entitlement. An oil spill is exploited to push an unpopular energy tax. And a jihadist publicity stunt -- the Gaza flotilla -- becomes the occasion to throw Israel ...

The Fudge factor Share Post PrintJune 4, 2010 Posted by Scott at 7:09 AM This past February the New York Times ran an intriguing story by Eric Lipton and Eric Lichtblau on the fundraising prowess of the Congressional Black Caucus. The story described the activities of the CBC and suggested that the CBC's fundraising prowess might involve some shady dealings. It was an eye-opening story. This week the Times followed up with a story on the efforts of 20 members of the CBC to restrict the powers of the independent ethics office that has spent much of its first full year investigating accusations of wrongdoing among black caucus members. The Times reported that CBC member Marcia Fudge had ...

Obama Heads to Gulf as Spill ‘Furor’ Shifts Toward White House Share Business ExchangeTwitterFacebook| Email | Print | A A A By Nicholas Johnston and John McCormick June 4 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama showed he knew a thing or two about oil tar balls when he arrived last week on Fourchon Beach in Louisiana. “Either the boom soaks stuff up, or manually you can pick up these tar balls as they’re coming ashore,” he told a group of reporters. Spending about 15 minutes on a largely unsoiled beach is as close as Obama has come to the worst oil spill in U.S. history, one that is challenging his presidency as even some fellow Democrats complain that he has been ...

Egyptian vendors sold T-shirts portraying Obama in King Tut regalia, and Muslims throughout the region thrilled at his middle name: Hussein. Now, many Muslims in Egypt and the rest of the Middle East say they're dismayed that the promise of the speech has fizzled into U.S. policy-as-usual toward the ...

More than 40m now use food stamps Bloomberg News / June 3, 2010 WASHINGTON — The number of Americans receiving food stamps in March topped 40 million for the first time as the jobless rate hovered near a 26-year high. Recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program subsidies for food purchases totaled 40.2 million, up 21 percent from a year earlier and 1.2 percent more than in February, the Department of Agriculture said yesterday in a statement on its website.

Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., told a Democratic Club on Tuesday that white supremacist groups are influencing lawmakers to adopt laws that will lead to discrimination.

Jimmy Carter + Rod Blagojevich = Barack Obama By Cheri Jacobus - 06/03/10 01:21 PM ET Obama has big problems. No doubt about that. To be considered as incompetent as Jimmy Carter, and as sleazy as Rod Blagojevich, is no one's idea of "good news" on even the worst of days in the White House. President Obama's protracted fumbling of the BP oil spill and the mess in the Gulf of Mexico is going to have long-term consequences for him. As it stands now, the nation is stunned at the lack of competence or ability to convey that he is capable of leading a charge to get this thing under control. Throwing everything but the kitchen sink — literally — into the hole is ...

In January, the trio were spotted in Egypt attempting to stir up crowds on the streets with 1,400 other left-wing activists after the Egyptian government refused to allow Free Gaza Movement members to enter the Gaza Strip.

Senate candidate says White House discussed 3 jobs By PHILIP ELLIOTT The Associated Press Thursday, June 3, 2010; 12:08 AM WASHINGTON -- One of President Barack Obama's top advisers suggested to a Colorado Democrat that he forgo a primary challenge to Sen. Michael Bennet and instead apply for one of three international development jobs. The disclosure came just days after the White House admitted orchestrating a job offer in the Pennsylvania Senate race with the similar goal of avoiding a messy or divisive Democratic primary. The back-room deals - former President Bill Clinton led the Pennsylvania effort and White House deputy chief of staff Jim Messina worked with former Colorado ...

Salazar may become fall guy in oil spill debacle By: Julie Mason Examiner White House Correspondent June 3, 2010 With the BP oil spill getting worse and government's oversight of the industry increasingly under scrutiny, calls for the ouster of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar seemed inevitable. Salazar, a former senator from Colorado, is under siege from several sides. Dozens of environmental groups are demanding his firing for failing to adequately protect the ocean from Big Oil. Pressure from the right followed Salazar's recent push to impose tougher leasing rules and cancel a series of planned drilling operations in Alaska and elsewhere. Oil interests are unhappy with new ...

Short Obama coattails for black pols By CHARLES MAHTESIAN | 6/3/10 4:54 AM EDT President Barack Obama may have set something close to an impossible standard for African-American politicians by seizing a political moment and then applying a very specific set of talents to it. Barack Obama’s historic 2008 victory was supposed to herald a new era in American politics, one in which the conventional wisdom that there were limits to how far ambitious African-American politicians could expect to go — nationally or statewide — had been demolished. So much for that theory. The stunning defeat suffered by Rep. Artur Davis — one of the brightest stars in a new generation of ...

The Real Face of Obamacare Once a sleepy federal backwater, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) now has primary responsibility for implementing the federal takeover of the U.S. health-care industry, and Pres. Barack Obama proposes to fill a key position there with Dr. Donald Berwick, who exemplifies the worst aspects of the Democrats’ health-care agenda: denouncing the “darkness of private enterprise,” he celebrates the centralization of power, the redistribution of wealth, and the subordination of health-care professionals to political players. Republicans should defeat his nomination. Although HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius probably will remain as the ...
