Newtown students to sing
in Super Bowl pregame

USA Today, by Mike Garafolo

A little more than a month after the tragic mass shooting of 26 students and faculty at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., a group of 26 students from the school will perform America the Beautiful during the Super Bowl XLVII pregame show, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed to USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday. The league is flying the students and their families down to New Orleans later this week in advance of the performance, which will be broadcast live on CBS shortly before Alicia Keys performs the National Anthem.

Now politics enters a game where people just want to enjoy the game.These poor shooting victims wil lbe exploited by the left for years to come.
I´ve already read 3 other shooting stories this morning. What all this publicity is doing is leading to more copycat killings.

We live in a 15 minutes of fame world,where psycho people don´t care how they get it.The social meltdown continues every day.

We´re trying to pass guns laws without the word crime even being mentioned.

Has anyone enjoyed the death of even one child as much as the Left has enjoyed the deaths of the 20 in Newtown? It´s a regular bonanza for them and their idea of disarming the population.

I now hate the NFL and their over-lawyered games. Steelers don´t wear pink.

Garish and macabre. But that´s the left all over isn´t it?

The nfl cannot be criticized for a gesture of support. But this event gives a cbs commentator (s) a chance to spout off with a gun control lecture like bob costas. Can cbs withstand the pressure? Can they keep a lid on their state run obama propaganda machine outlet?

Abhorrent, and so crass as to make one wretch.

Moochelle will be seated with them at the game. Make sure some of them are still bandaged.

Just to add, this proves that liberals are COMPLELTY TONEDEAF to any nuances of the human condition. And Bill Clinton´s "I feel your pain" is one of the biggest lies of the post World War Two era.

To clarify, the nfl can hide behind the emotional side of the argument. That´s why it´s difficult to criticize them for this stunt.

Wow, just when you think people can´t creep any lower, This is an appalling exploitation of a tragedy and of kids and football players.

I play to watch one of my recorded gun shows during the half time of the now "super bowl". I´m not surprised, the Democrats would play a video of the killings if there was one and they would loop it over and over again. That is how twisted and sick I think they are. But any party that boos God at their convention and celebrates the killing of 50 million babies since 1973 has no shame or morals period.

Wait, what? The victims of Sandy Hook are available for display and exploitation but the victims (survivors)of benghazi are nowhere to be found?
I read somewhere that some gay marriage propaganda will be inserted into the game also.
Just what we all want, an evening of scolding/lecturing from a corrupt administration. Wings anyone?

Early reports say they will be singing a medley to include Clapton´s "I Shot the Sheriff," AC/DC´s "Shoot to Thrill," The Beatles´ "Happiness Is a Warm Gun," and concluding with the Boomtown Rats´ classic ode to school shootings "I Don´t Like Mondays." Hey, if you´re going to exploit these kids, then you might as well go for broke!

No choir to "celebrate" the losses in Chicago?

Bob Coasts commented that Newtown took him off the hook with regard to his anti gun rant during half time a couple of months ago.

IOW, let no crisis go to waste.

As a parent my heart aches for the Newtown parents. They are well meaning but some are wrong on the gun control issue.

Is this Super Bowl thing a sports or a political event? Do we serve Chicken wings or weiners?

One more reason to skip the Super Bowl this year. I dislike both teams, don´t want to hear about that "brave" pro-gay marriage player, can´t stomach the sight of Ray Lewis and now this. I think it will be movie night at our home.

This Is No Ordinary Scandal
Wall Street Journal, by Peggy Noonan    Original Article

We are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate. The reputation of the Obama White House has, among conservatives, gone from sketchy to sinister, and, among liberals, from unsatisfying to dangerous. No one likes what they´re seeing. The Justice Department assault on the Associated Press and the ugly politicization of the Internal Revenue Service have left the administration´s credibility deeply, probably irretrievably damaged. They don´t look jerky now, they look dirty. The patina of high-mindedness the president enjoyed is gone. Something big has shifted.

The GOP´s Hispanic Opening

Before Washington was rocked in recent days by an assortment of brewing scandals, immigration reform was at center stage. And immigration reform will surely return shortly to the heart of Washington debates as Congress considers legislation proposed by Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio and his bipartisan "Gang of 8" colleagues. Their bill would normalize the status of millions of illegal, mostly Hispanic immigrants. This has stimulated a vigorous debate among conservatives over the cost of reform, mostly in the form of public services for those with low skills and high needs.

Joe Biden: The Rolling Stone Interview

There is a keen Kennedy-like vigor to Joe Biden that overwhelms any room. As was once said of Theodore Roosevelt, he, too, wants to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral. Unlike President Obama, who speaks in interviews with Hemingway-esque sparseness, Biden rambles like Thomas Wolfe, painting a robust picture of an ever-changing America where coal miners will soon be working in clean-tech jobs, gun-safety laws will be tougher and China will be reined in by the White House from poisoning the planet with megatons of choking pollutants.

Merkel faces scrutiny
Over Communist Path
Financial Times, by Peter Ehrlich    Original Article

Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, is facing fresh scrutiny over her political activities in the former East Germany, with a book alleging she took part in the Communist regime’s propaganda activities. Ms Merkel is the first chancellor to come from the German Democratic Republic. As a physicist in the 1980s she was a member of the communist youth organisation “Freie Deutsche Jugend” at the Academy of Sciences in Eastern Berlin and was in charge of “agitation and propaganda”, the journalists Ralf Georg Reuth and Günther Lachmann claim in their book The First Life of Angela M.

The controversy embroiling the IRS kicked up another storm of rhetoric Monday over enforcement of campaign finance laws. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell connected allegations that the IRS improperly targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny to a Democratic-led effort to expand campaign finance disclosure requirements known as the DISCLOSE Act. McConnell told the National Review that the bill to require corporations, unions and super PACS to report large expenditures “should go nowhere.”

According to Politico, Anthony Weiner has hired one staffer in preparation for his run for mayor of New York City. Two sources said that they couldn’t tell Politico the staffer’s name or what position he/she will assume under the former Congressman. The revelation follows weeks of speculation that Weiner is seeking a redemptive run for the mayor’s office. Speculation has raged that he has been looking for potential aides and staffers. Although Weiner’s pollster, Joel Benenson, has been hired by New York City Council speaker Christine Quinn, Weiner’s ad man, Jim Margolis of GMMB,

Obama Got Pass on Benghazi,
Thanks to Romney
Real Clear Politics, by Richard Benedetto    Original Article

For nearly eight months now, Republicans in Congress have been confounded by the apparent lack of public interest in, or concern about, what actually happened in the Sept. 11, 2012 Libyan terrorist attacks in Benghazi that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. But Wednesday’s dramatic hearing by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee shined new light on the issue. It brought out more details of possible Obama administration mismanagement while the attacks were underway and potential coverup in its aftermath.

Officials on Benghazi:
"We made mistakes,
but without malice"

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

On Thursday´s NBC Today, in a desperate attempt to deflect from the scandals engulfing the Obama administration, co-host Savannah Guthrie wondered: "I read a headline yesterday that said Republicans see blood in the water. That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is. I mean, that´s what happened to Republicans in 1998 with Bill Clinton.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever). When asked about the untrammeled snooping on Associated Press reporters and editors,
