Dems, incumbents get wake-up call

John F. Harris, Jonathan Martin: POLITICO

RICHMOND, Va. — Eager to drain the 2009 elections of drama and import, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs claimed Tuesday night that President Barack Obama was “not watching returns.”

You can be sure that he is studying them closely now:
The off-year elections were, in two big races, an unmistakable rebuke of Democrats, reshuffling Obama’s political circumstances in ways likely to have severe near-term consequences for his policy agenda and larger governing strategy.

MSNBC’s show of irresponsibility continues

The show of stupidity that is Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann continued Tuesday night. As respected Republican Governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, was about to begin the Republican response to the President’s address an obnoxious “oh God” was heard spewing out of the mouth of one of the leaders of the characterless network that is MSNBC.

Editorial: The True Miracle of the Day: The Peaceful Transfer of Power

Inauguration Day 2009 is as important as everyone says it is. There’s no escaping it. It is, as most of those covering it have already observed, an historic day, full of meaning for people all across the world. That a mere half-century after a time when blacks in parts of America were routinely prevented from voting we inaugurate an African-American president of the United States is a time of celebration for us all. It is a tangible symbol of how far the nation has come on race, one of the thorniest issues we as a nation have ever had to confront. We must not, however, lose sight of the fact that this is a subtext of the real story.

Today’s the Day…Tomorrow’s the question

Today America ushers in the 44th President of the United States. With that, a promise of a better America for all
Americans will be put to the test, not in the first 100 days, but in the first 100 hours.

A HISTORICAL ELECTION: America Speaks and Democracy Lives To Tell About It

Former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore once said to me, “Whatever happens on November 4th the sun is still going to rise on November 5th; you’re still going to have to take care of your family, you’re still going to go to work that day, and life will still go on. If you don’t like the what happened on the 4th, your responsibility is to go out and affect change. If these things don’t work for you; stay out of politics…”

America made history on November 4, 2008. If you don’t like it, what are you going to do about it?

The Wall Street Journal: A Liberal Supermajority

If the current polls hold, Barack Obama will win the White House on November 4 and Democrats will consolidate their Congressional majorities, probably with a filibuster-proof Senate or very close to it. Without the ability to filibuster, the Senate would become like the House, able to pass whatever the majority wants.

Connecting the dots to OBAMA’s radical leftist mentality

Around 1979 Barack Obama started college at Occidental in California.

He is very open about his two years at Occidental where he apparently experimented with all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time, and though he was thought to have a brilliant mind, he did not apply himself to his studies.

During his time at Occidental, ‘Barry’ (that was the name he used all his life) had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan. During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a ’round the world’ trip. On the trip he stopped to see his mother in Indonesia, next Hyderabad in India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate’s family, and then he went to Africa to visit his father’s family.

From Obama’s mouth comes the truth: HE IS A SOCIALIST

At best Barack Obama is a Socialist that has been predisposed to waging class warfare his entire life.

On the one hand, Obama espouses his desire to play Robin Hood by taking money from those HE decides don’t deserve it and GIVING it to those HE believes need more money than they earn. On the other hand, his people have the audacity to suggest that his own comments calling for a redistribution of wealth have nothing to do with Obama’s economic plan….

Fiancial Crisis: Calm is what is needed now

The sky is falling….and the people get it. What is needed now, however, is for common sense and historical precedence to supersede panic and hysteria.

The OP-ED the NY Times doesn’t want you to see written by Senator John McCain

By Sen. John McCain

In January 2007, when General David Petraeus took command in Iraq, he called the situation “hard” but not “hopeless.” Today, 18 months later, violence has fallen by up to 80 percent to the lowest levels in four years, and Sunni and Shiite terrorists are reeling from a string of defeats. The situation now is full of hope, but considerable hard work remains to consolidate our fragile gains.
