Obama to GOP: ´Take
me out of it´

NBC News, by Carrie Dann

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 12/20/2012 1:47:30 PM

Saying that Republican opponents should "take me out of it," President Barack Obama appealed Wednesday for compromise on the "fiscal cliff," urging GOP House members to put aside personal and political concerns after a week marked by the Newtown shooting tragedy and continued bickering over the nation´s deficit woes. Acknowledging that his most vehement foes live in conservative districts with little political "incentive" to back the Democratic president, Obama blamed Republican rank-and-file for personalizing the politics of possible deficit reduction plans.

Obama, yesterday, said that he was seeking "compromise". I sincerely wish one of the media would have asked Obama, "What do you intend to compromise? You´re asking Republicans to compromise one of their key platform principles (lower taxes). What, precisely, are you going to compromise?"

Whenever you hear the word "compromise" out of the Left, what they mean is that you compromise and they remain steadfast in their own positions.

Why should he lead? He has the best job approval (56% Ras & Gallup)he has had since August 2009. He won the election easier than Bush did in 2004 and Bush declared a mandate. On this very day (12/20) in 2004, Bush´s job approval averaged 48.5 and his disapproval averaged 45.8- up only 2.7 points. Bambi is up 11.5 on RCP today!

Obama is among those for whom the category of legitimate political disagreement does not exist. When, therefore, opponents refuse to go along with his opinions and plans, they are not merely mistaken, they are driven by base motives. For ideologues like Obama there is no rational, ethical reason for anyone not to see things their way. They have lost, or perhaps in some instances never acquired, the category of political disagreement.

Shrunken and dogmatic minds like Obama´s are typical of graduates and personnel of our best universities. A liberal education used to mean an education in the liberal arts, the purpose of which was to acquire a broader and less dogmatic view of the world. In recent years the exact reverse has taken place as universities, controlled by Leftist partisans, indoctrinate rather than educate students. It would be much more accurate to call such a process an illiberal education - or a Liberal education, with the emphasis on capital L, i.e. political liberalism.

Obama can spout such nonsense with a straight face because (a) he actually believes it, and (b) the mainstream media and Liberal establishment, which also believe it, never challenge it. Thus he can get away with claiming that anybody who doesn´t go along with him is acting from bad motives and is being partisan and political, while he is only telling and proposing the honest, incontrovertible Truth.

If it didn´t mean wrecking the country, this kind of talk, and the gullibility of those who fall for it, would be hilarious. It is an unconscious form of self-parody.

Go back and listen to the tape and insert in parentheses, a black man, and you will understand the point. That is the most despicable thing I have ever heard in politics.

Plan B is what he is asking for on taxes except for the trigger of the highest rates. What he can´t abide is the disappearance of all his special give aways that started with the Stimulus. Plan B is causing him some heartburn because it is giving him what he has demanded. The spending cuts are not part of Plan B because they have already been written into law and signed by Obama.

NBC News Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd cautioned Hardball host Chris Matthews on Tuesday that the secret tape of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) release by Mother Jones magazine discussing avenues of attacking his potential reelection campaign opponents may be the result of a criminal act. The FBI has been asked to open a probe into how that audio was acquired, and Todd told Matthews that a federal crime may have been committed in this case.

Actually, she is backing off. Here’s the thing about her now-famous MSNBC promo: Either she’s saying something radical or she’s saying something so banal that it’s barely even worth saying. The radical interpretation is that she thinks parents should have less say over how their children are raised and that “communities” should have a larger role. The very, very banal interpretation is that she thinks communities should do more to improve children’s lives and that thinking of them as “our children” might help forge that mentality.

President Obama’s meeting with a dozen Senate Republicans on Wednesday will be at the White House. It’s the second meeting Obama has had with Senate Republicans — and one with different optics that his first meeting, which took place at the opulent Jefferson Hotel. The White House said Obama picked up the dinner tab and paid for it with his own money. Earlier on Tuesday, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus suggested the second dinner not be at an expensive restaurant. “Instead of eating out as the president and senators did last month, I suggest they eat in,”

WASHINGTON- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says he wants U.S. military law changed so senior commanders can´t overturn courts-martial verdicts in major crimes such as rape. Hagel said the Pentagon´s top lawyers would prepare legislation for Congress that would strip commanders´ power to toss out convictions, "except for certain minor offenses that would not ordinarily warrant trial by court-martial." Convicted defendants still would be able to appeal their cases. But in a move berated by advocacy groups for military sexual-assault victims, Hagel also said he would recommend commanders retain the power to alter courts-martial sentences,

If presidential politics ever involved time travel, President Obama might be in a little trouble. If an election between Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama were held today, 58% would vote for Reagan over Obama, according to a survey of 1,000 Americans age 18 and older conducted by Kelton Research for the National Geographic Channel. Though when the field is narrowed to people ages 18-34 -- those either too young to have known Reagan as president or too young to remember much -- the gap shrinks to 51% in favor of Reagan.

With all due respect to Mother Jones´s conversation-leaker-in-chief David Corn, the recordings published today of a conversation between Sen.

We´ve got full background here, but the toplines are this: Corn got hold of a conversation apparently recorded during a presentation by consultants to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell´s reelection campaign. The consultants were opposition researchers, hired by the campaign to ferret out damaging information about actress Ashley Judd, who at one point considered running against McConnell.

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.
