The Bush Doctrine as endorsed by Obama

Source: Yahoo The Associated Press 8/17/09

"He said U.S. troops are working to secure polling places so the elections can go forward and Afghans can choose their own future.
Attaining that peaceful future "will not be quick, nor easy," Obama said.
He said the United States still has a deep interest in the long-term outcome. "So this is not only a war worth fighting. ... This is fundamental to the defense of our people," he said.
He told the veterans that the U.S. didn't choose to fight in Afghanistan but was forced to invade that country to stop future Sept. 11-style attacks." (emphasis added)

So President Obama embraces the Bush Doctrine. Not surprising that he assumes this doctrine to be his and doesn't cite Bush as the originator of it.

Where are the main stream media press on this?

Pelosi is ruunning the country

President Obama talks a lot about “his health care plan”. Ok –well where is that plan? So far what we have is the House bill plus about five versions of a plan in the Senate. So where is Obama’s plan as manifested in a bill?

That’s right. It’s nowhere to be found.

Which brings me to my central point – Nancy Pelosi is running the country. Not President Obama, not Rahm Emanuel, not anyone in the White House.

Nancy Pelosi is the puppet-master and President Obama, the White House staff and Harry Reid are the puppets.

In some ways, it’s an effective strategy. It gives Obama a Teflon coating to his overall strategy. He can sit back, take credit for the part of the bills he likes and distance himself from those parts he doesn’t like. The defective aspect of the strategy is that he cedes control to Nancy Pelosi.

It’s the House bill that’s being debated now and that’s the bill being excoriated by much of the country. So while Pelosi doesn’t care if she’s liked or not, President Obama does care if he’s liked. But that is proving harder by the puppet on a string.

Dunce of the day = Arelene Spector

Spector really is an idiot. If he was so sure the CIA didn't always tell the truth and he didn't say anything, then what does that say about his integrity? He's a real lowlife for claiming now that the CIA was supposedly less than truthful. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black,

The Unit gets cancelled

Looks like one of my favorite shows "The Unit" got cancelled. Why are I not surprised that CBS would cancel a series that shows our military in a favorable light and concentrates on domestic and international terrorism?

Obama and the Tea Bag crowd

In Missouri at his 100 day mark the President said:

"Those of you who are watching certain news channels on which I'm not very popular, and you see folks waving tea bags around, Obama said, “let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we are going to stabilize Social Security.” “But,” Obama continued, “let's not play games and pretend that the reason [for the deficit] is because of the Recovery Act."

A few thoughts here:

1. I thought the White House was unconcerned about these Tea parties as he and his press machines attempted to marginalize them while they were going on. Now his feeling are hurt because not everyone loves him. What a wimp.

2. When is that "serious conversation" going to happen? Since he views the tea bag people with such condescending disstain, it's unlikely this conversation will ever happen.

3. To be such a highly edcuated person, he's really stupid if he believes people are not upset over the size of the Recovery Act. He's the one playing the games for trying to divert the focus from the central issue of the size of government.

4. Speaking of Social Security, exactly how is Obama going to solve that little issue? He's been silent on that topic.

Arlene Spector - See definition

hubris

Etymology: Greek hybris
Date: 1884
1. exaggerated pride or self-confidence
2. Arlene Spector

Yea- I know. I misspelled his name, but not his sentiment. He has defected to the dark side of the political spectrum. The Democrats are now the "Tee Ball Party". They want everyone to win, but not keep score. They just want to spread the wealth, open up our borders, be gadflies for the most stupid of causes (see Global Warming).

Spector is a coward. He switched teams because he sensed he was losing.

He is a loser.

Jon Stewart - Profiles in Cowardice

If you watch and listen to Jon Stewart's show very much, please note that the show is shown on the COMEDY CENTRAL network. That alone should demonstrate the cowardice of Mr. Stewart in that his forum for his fake news program is the centerpiece of a comedy program. I get the sense that Mr. Stewart is bulletproof from the main stream media criticism. Goodness knows that splicing together sound bites from people he disagrees with, then having his team of comedy writers write witty, snarkey comments is truly the foundation of meaningful discourse. The show is written for the 3rd grade level (on a good day) for an MTV generation of drones and zombies. Thankfully, not all of the MTV generation of drones fall for this fake news and analysis comedy show, so there may be hope after all.

You see, the cowardice of Mr. Stewart is that he stays secluded with the confines of the comedy show and looks down his elitist nose at people who disagree with him. He doesn't come down from his mountaintop because to do so would put him in the same non-teleprompter world as the rest of us. No comedy writers, no help from his yes people.

I will give Mr. Stewart credit in one area though. He has marketed himself much like Sham Wow.
He just soaks up the praise for his deep thoughts and never gets full.
