Au Revoir, Mr. President
American Spectator, by R. Emmett Tyrrell

Original Article

Posted By:garnet, 11/1/2012 6:50:42 AM

WASHINGTON -- Reviewing the last few months of this tumultuous presidential campaign, I see the debates as having a wondrous salience. The first was the most momentous since Nixon vs. Kennedy, though that 1960 confrontation was mostly a matter of cosmetics. Listening to it on radio, many in the audience came away thinking that the participant with the five-o'clock shadow had won. That would have been Richard Nixon. In debate this time around, Mitt Romney hammered Barack Obama mercilessly. Under the ongoing assault Obama's knees buckled and he repeatedly looked glassy-eyed.

No one is better than Tyrrell at this.

I'll believe Obama is out of the White House late in January. Not before then.

Voting is the name of the game. They are fervently hoping overconfidence will make R+2 a D+7. All their predictions are based on that. Vote, vote vote. And tell everyone you know to vote.

Everything said to the present president should be in French these days to properly commemorate his giving up the battle in Benghazi before he gave anyone a chance to fight.

Talk about a guy who has spent too much time at his local country club..."Au Revoir" is just so...French! How suave of you Mr. Editor to take us into your world of crystal ball dreaming, leaving the heavy lifting once again for the grunts you so often lack the respect to pay any homage.

This election is by no means finished, with a victor declared. B. Hussein Obama-Mao has his lawyers in the wings and will not go "quietly into the night" as so many others wish.

Time for Emmett to consider donning sreet gear and join we regulars out in the fog for some real fun!

Smarmy lines don't really cut it when one is up against the reality of an evil dictator who has been way too successful for four years.

Imagine what he intends to do if given a 2nd chance...

Outstanding article. I printed it out for others earlier this morning.
Regardless of everything this president did NOT do, or the utter failure of projects he funded, the daily updates on Obama's involvement with the deaths of 4 Americans in Benghazi are mind-boggling.
.... Congress tossed another president out of the Oval Office for attempting to cover up details of a break-in at a local hotel. No Americans died there, nor was that president discovered to be collaborating with terrorists.

I am still waiting to learn WHO has the authority to dismiss this traitor in the White House, since the current Congress is too afraid to take action.

Agreed #4 but R +2 might not be enough to overcome the left's vote early and vote anyone who doesn't show up way of electing. We need to make sure no vote for R sits at home thinking it's going our way. I am always blown away by those who sit at home.

Always be careful about urging people to get out and vote. Those who need urging are often those who haven’t been paying attention, and that sort is all too likely to make the wrong choice. Those who have been paying enough attention will damn sure be getting out to vote, knowing as they do how critical it is to oust this disastrous president.

I'm to the point that I don't even want to exact revenge for all the ill deeds this fraud has wrought on this country. I just want to get rid of him and his stench and send him into oblivion.

Mitt can methodically clean up his mess and bring daylight to all his corruption and cowardice in a reflective way rather than an aggressive manner. The best way for this country to heal itself and move on is to totally dismiss the memory of the physical person. If Mitt does it right, no words will be needed to convey the national nightmare that resulted from electing an unqualified, incompetent, corrupt street punk. Never forget the stain, but throw away the empty suit.

#22 I want revenge. Im a GenXer who has had to live in the shadow of these revenant Marxists all her life, who was only a baby during the last years of Vietnam but picked up enough then to know the hippie Left was bad news then, and they have dominated the conversation of my life since then...and now their most vitriolic, vicious, and evil portions have taken my country hostage. The Weather Underground has a tight hold of the country I love and my daughter will have to live the consequences and gird any children she has against the revenants that will surely show up in their lifetime. I hate them for that. HATE. THEM.

No I want REVENGE. I want blood. I want Obama arrested and humiliated in front of the whole country. I want his vicious evil psychotic Weather Underground Marxist collaborators executed. I want the Hollywood useful idiots FLOGGED PUBLICLY, then dropped off in Cuba and NEVER allowed to return to the United States. I want them living the Socialist Utopia they have tried to foist on those of us who only wanted the representative republic our founding fathers dreamed for us. I think the blood of our Founding Fathers CRIES OUT for revenge. Ive had enough. I want it NOW. Not in the future. Not on my grandchildren's shoulders. NOW. MINE.

Yes, I also think this bunch needs to be punished. If for no other reason than to be made an example of. And since Bronco Bama has only served one term, guess what? He can run again. We need to make sure he is ineligible (what a concept!) to run again. Everyone in his communist gaggle, and the horses they rode in on, should be airlifted and dropped into N. Korea.

One more thing about the integrity of voting machines. Here in Las Vegas, people make and daily use thousands of slot machines that are tamper proof and can't be jiggered in order to cheat. Unless, of course, the owner/maker/programmer of the machine wants to cheat. Same with voting machines. They can be programmed any way the programmer wants to program them.

Then there is the problem of security. This early voting boondoggle creates a security nightmare. Here in Las Vegas, for about 10 days, we had 80 separate sites where voting was available on rolling days which meant that hundreds of voting machines were constantly in motion in the backs of trucks making security essentially nonexistent.

IMHO, our elections have become a farce! Like the man said, it's not who votes, it's who counts the votes that determines the winner.

It took him 2 weeks? It was obvious in the 2008 primaries that Obama was over his head. As for the time of Carter, I remember those days, some of you may not. I remember that everyone thought our best days were behind us. The world had run out of energy and the Japanese were taking over our businesses. Then Reagan said it was morning in America and he was right for 12 years.

Poster 24 makes some good points. We watched Bill Clinton, impeached and disbarred, yet he still escapes the humiliation he deserved. He's still able to go out and speak in public while the media and democrats portray him as honorable when he is not. Hillary becomes a senator and SOS. She jet sets all over the world, living lavishly, destroying our nation and reputation around the world. Ted Kennedy killed a woman and he was the Lion of the Senate. Obit is Clinton, Hillary, Ted Kennedy and countless others who have done major damage to this country only to go on and live in the lap of luxury with honorable positions. People who should be under jails accumulated ill gotten gain and it seems they will never pay. But, they will pay. We may not see it and that might make the fact that they will pay seem not good enough for some of us. I can certainly understand where 24 is coming from. God is the only righteous and just judge, but He gives us the ability to make laws and execute justice and that is what's lacking in all of this. None of us want obit to pay just for the sake of it. We want him to pay because his actions cry out for justice. People might say that conservatives are no different than the rabid left, but we don't accept that because it's not true. It's not about politics and our guy winning. This is about whether we will remain a free people. This skating by America hating people has to stop. Something's got to give.

If America were a bus, Deneen Borelli would be the new Rosa Parks. Borelli is the very model of a human being, an African American and a woman who is just plain tired up to here at all of the back of the bus treatment dished by liberals — black and white alike — to conservatives who happen to be black. Ms. Borelli has in a figurative sense, as Rosa Parks did in the original and literal sense, sat down in a seat reserved for liberals at the front of the American bus.

The impending policies of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will affect individual farmers and their employees. There are an estimated 600,000 crop workers and roughly 20,000 livestock workers in California at a given time. For every job in farming, the industry creates two to three nonfarming jobs. It´s an industry that should thrive in California, where the climate is kind.(Snip)"There´s nothing affordable about the Affordable Care Act," Tom Nassif said to us; he´s president and CEO of Western Growers, an advocacy group representing area and regional family farmers in Arizona and California.

A country that stakes its future on lies will not have one. The fashionable lie of the moment is “gay marriage.” The push to deprive children of mothers and fathers for the sake of “genderless” marriage has never been stronger. The media propaganda about its “inevitability” is unremitting. One would think, judging by all the triumphant rhetoric heard this week, that over 30 states had approved it. In fact, over 30 states have banned it. According to the Washington Post, which just a few weeks ago was categorizing Christians as racists, the issue is all settled and done.

It was bad enough for the Obama administration to earn an overall grade of C-minus on its level of transparency from the independent watchdog group Cause of Action. When coupled with evidence of what is being hidden, the information makes the administration look even worse. Cause of Action uses requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), lawsuits, and other tools to expose what it calls “job-killing federal government regulations, waste, fraud, and cronyism.” As has been reported by Caroline May at the Daily Caller and others, the organization last week issued a report called “Grading the Government,”

Want to know if Republicans finally back immigration reform, stand a chance of picking up Senate seats in the midterms, or get their act together by 2016? Instead of the GOP, watch the Rubio-Paul Party. Forget John Boehner. Ignore Karl Rove. The real action in the GOP is coming from the newest wing of the party, the one born in the spring of 2009 - the offspring of Tea Party activists that almost single-handedly propelled Republicans to control of the House. This new movement brought Marco Rubio and Rand Paul to Washington

The weasels who wrote the Obama health law postponed the pain until after the 2012 presidential election. Popular provisions were put into effect immediately, such as allowing children to stay on their parent’s plan until age 26, offering “free” colonoscopies and mammograms (in truth, forcing you to pay for them in your premium, whether you get them or not), and giving women the thrill of getting contraceptives at the drugstore without paying anything. The White House also granted 1,472 waivers to certain companies and unions exempting them from insurance reforms

The Emptiness of a Politicized Life

This may sound odd coming from someone who has spent his life working in political reporting, but I find it extremely sad when people can’t separate politics from the rest of their lives. I’m not talking about people getting worked up about politicians; we live in divided times, so things are bound to get heated when talking about elected officials. I’m talking about people who say “I want nothing to do with [Person X] because he is a conservative/liberal/Republican/Democrat in his personal life.” This is why I find the Orson Scott Card thing so frustrating.

Last week, President Obama told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that “we don’t have an immediate crisis in terms of debt.” It was par for the course (after all, he is almost always golfing) for the nation’s chief executive who just last year did not know the amount of our nation’s debt and made the preposterously naive statement that “a lot of it we owe to ourselves.” Apparently, our coming debt crisis is the only one Democrats do want to go to waste.

Obama Shafts Poor and
Minority Seniors Again
American Spectator, by David Catron    Original Article
Posted By: garnet- 3/18/2013 6:55:57 AM     Post Reply
If President Obama’s rhetoric on domestic policy can be said to have a coherent theme, it involves his desire to use government to create a level playing field in which no single segment of the electorate enjoys unfair advantages or suffers disproportionate disadvantages in the pursuit of happiness. He is particularly concerned, he tells us, that the “rich” pay their fair share while poor and minority Americans receive their just due. Somehow, though, every policy decision made by his administration seems to tilt the playing field against the latter.

Frack to the Future

Celebrities are now upset about fracking, the injection of chemicals into the ground to crack rocks to release oil and gas. With everyone saying they want alternatives to foreign oil, I´d think celebrities would love fracking. I´d be wrong. Lady Gaga, Yoko Ono and their group, Artists Against Fracking, don´t feel the love. Yoko sang, "Don´t frack me!" on TV. Stopping fracking is the latest cause of the silly people. They succeeded in getting scientifically ignorant politicians to ban fracking in New York, Maryland and Vermont. Hollywood gave an Oscar to "Gasland," a documentary that suggests fracking

Senator Squatter? Heller Won´t
Give Up Office Space
Roll Call, by Meredith Shiner    Original Article

Staffers for Sen. Dean Heller have been bullying other senators’ aides to protect the Nevada Republican’s space in the Russell Senate Office Building, CQ Roll Call has learned. As part of the biennial Senate office lottery, junior members are obligated to show their office suites to more senior members, who then have 24 hours to decide whether to claim that space as their own. Heller’s office suite — which he inherited after the scandal-fueled resignation of Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev. — may be particularly attractive to other senators because its floor plan includes a larger-than-average member office.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Beyonce and Jay-Z celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Cuba this week. The couple, who married on April 4, 2008, took in the sights of Old Havana, visited a school, dined on a rooftop terrace and strolled the fan-filled streets in their island best.(snip).The power couple declined to answer journalists´ questions about their visit to the island nation, but some outlets are reporting that the moguls are there as tourists, though that would be illegal because of the half-century embargo the U.S. has on the Communist country. However, the Miami Herald said Washington has issued special licenses for
