Obama to Force HIS Moral Standards on YOU - Warner_Todd_Huston’s blog - RedState

One of the next things still on Obama's plate:

Obama to Force HIS Moral Standards on YOU

Posted by Warner Todd Huston (Profile)

Wednesday, January 28th at 3:48AM EST

Just a reminder that Barack Obama still has the inaptly named Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) on his plate. During the campaign Obama promised to work on the act as one of his first efforts as president. For those unaware, this law would take away the rights of parents to be notified when their children are undergoing abortions, will cancel state laws against partial birth abortion and nationalize rules governing abortion. It will force taxpayer funding for abortion nationwide and force all hospitals and healthcare facilities run by religious organizations to act against their religious principles by forcing them to become abortion mills.

It would be nice to think someone would ask these basic questions, but no one will.  We have truly stepped through the looking glass.

Leon Panetta will appear next week before the Senate Intelligence Committee for his confirmation hearings to become director of the Central Intelligence Agency. His testimony will be the first opportunity for senators to ask tough questions about President Obama's decisions last week to begin rolling back the Bush administration's counterterrorism policies, including dismantling the CIA program to detain and question senior terrorist leaders captured in the war on terror.

Al-Qaeda cell killed by Black Death 'was developing biological weapons' - Telegraph

If one of their base commanders is captured, if one of their researchers is captured, and we can not use enhanced interrogation techniques to gain information, will we readily accept the deaths caused by plague released in a major US city?  Really??

Al-Qaeda cell killed by Black Death 'was developing biological weapons'

An al-Qaeda cell killed by the Black Death may have been developing biological weapons when it was infected, it has been reported.

Last Updated: 6:10PM GMT 20 Jan 2009

The group of 40 terrorists were reported to have been killed by the plague at a training camp in Algeria earlier this month.

It was initially believed that they could have caught the disease through fleas on rats attracted by poor living conditions in their forest hideout.

But there are now claims the cell was developing the disease as a weapon to use against western cities.

Small Business to Get Short Shrift from Obama Administration

Entrepreneurs will face a slew of new taxes, a stifling regulatory environment, and politicians who bail out the well-connected.

January 24, 2009 - by Tristan Yates

As the Ford Motor Company prepares to cash its first multi-billion dollar corporate welfare check and hand part of it over to the union, it’s easy to forget that almost exactly a century ago, this multi-billion dollar behemoth with 240,000 employees was just another young small business with big dreams about to launch its next product.

While many small businesses fail, including Henry Ford’s first two attempts, a precious few survive, thrive, and then change the world, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in the process. Just about all of the great American companies were once mere dreams in the mind of an entrepreneur. Microsoft, Apple, Intel, McDonald’s, and WalMart are but a few examples.

Wow, at least someone in the press gets it - too bad he's a Brit.

Barack Obama inauguration: this Emperor has no clothes, it will all end in tears :: Gerald Warner

This will end in tears. The Obama hysteria is not merely embarrassing to witness, it is itself contributory to the scale of the disaster that is coming. What we are experiencing, in the deepening days of a global depression, is the desperate suspension of disbelief by people of intelligence - la trahison des clercs - in a pathetic effort to hypnotise themselves into the delusion that it will be all right on the night. It will not be all right.

President Obama listened to Republican gripes about his stimulus package during a meeting with congressional leaders Friday morning - but he also left no doubt about who's in charge of these negotiations. "I won," Obama noted matter-of-factly, according to sources familiar with the conversation.

Obama train arrives in Baltimore -- baltimoresun.com

The desecration of the US flag with the face of "The One", imagine if this were Bush.  This is a disturbing path with generations of tradition being swept aside for an inexperienced man who has accomplished virtually nothing in his life - yet he is President.  My disbelief continues.

RealClearPolitics - Articles - Myths and Facts About the Real Bush Record

Myths and Facts About the Real Bush Record

By Ed Gillespie

As the year draws to an end and President Bush enters his final month in office, there is much commentary about the Administration's record over the past eight years. Unsurprisingly, many of these stories assail and distort the President's record and recycle myths and unfounded allegations that have been leveled for the better part of his two terms. Historical accuracy requires a response to the litany of attacks leveled against President Bush, and while there's not enough space to respond to all of them, here are five of the most egregious:

Facts continue to be persistent little things:

Gen. Shinseki's Silence

By Lawrence Di Rita

Monday, December 15, 2008; Page A21

The announcement that retired Army chief of staff Eric Shinseki will be President-elect Barack Obama's nominee for secretary of veterans affairs has energized one of the most enduring myths of the Bush presidency. Among the media coverage in recent days: Gen. Shinseki "clashed with the Bush administration on its Iraq war strategy" (Associated Press). In "questioning the Pentagon's Iraq war strategy" (The Post), Shinseki "warn[ed] that far more troops would be needed than the Pentagon had committed" (New York Times). For his candor, he was "vilified" (Boston Globe) by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

UAW Workers Actually Cost the Big Three Automakers $70 an Hour

Tell me again how the US auto workers are a competitive work force??

UAW Workers Actually Cost the Big Three Automakers $70 an Hour

by James Sherk

The United Auto Workers (UAW) wants Congress to bail out General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler to prevent their undergoing restructuring in bankruptcy proceedings. In bankruptcy, a judge could order union contracts to be renegotiated to reflect competitive realities. Many analysts have objected that hourly autoworkers at the Big Three are some of the most highly paid workers in America, costing the Big Three over $70 an hour in wages and current and future benefits. All taxpayers should not be taxed to preserve the affluence of a few.

Ethel C. Fenig
As the late Senator Everett Dirksen (R-IL) once said, "A million here, a million there and pretty soon you're talking about a lot of money."  That philosophy came to mind hearing every day about a trillion here, a trillion there for a government sponsored "bailout" of this or that vital industry.   
So how much money is this; how big are  these numbers with all the zeroes after them?  Barry Ritholz puts it all in scary context.

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind - and it's not good for the Big "O".

Wind Power Exposed

by  Peter Glover and Michael J. Economides

11/25/2008

This is not what President-elect Barack Obama's energy and climate strategists would want to hear. It would be anathema to Al Gore and other assorted luminaries touting renewable energy sources which in one giant swoop will save the world from the “tyranny” of fossil fuels and mitigate global warming. And as if these were not big enough issues, oilman T. Boone Pickens’ grandiose plan for wind farms from Texas to Canada is supposed to bring about a replacement for the natural gas now used for power generation. That move will then lead to energy independence from foreign oil.


Too good to be true? Yes, and, in fact, it is a lot worse.

Financials need at least $1 trillion: analyst | Reuters

Of course they do.  And then they will need more, and more, and . . . . .   Why should it ever stop now?  All illusion to corporate America, let alone every day Americans, having a need to be personally responsible for their actions, left with the initial AIG bailout in July.  The barn door is open, the stopper is out of the Genie's bottle, the dam has burst . . . . well, you get the idea.

Financials need at least $1 trillion: analyst

(Reuters) - The U.S. financial system still needs at least $1 trillion to $1.2 trillion of tangible common equity to restore confidence and improve liquidity in the credit markets, Friedman Billings Ramsey analyst Paul Miller said.

Eight financial companies -- Citigroup Inc, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs Group Inc, Wells Fargo & Co, JPMorgan Chase & Co, American International Group Inc, Bank of America Corp and GE Financial -- are in greatest need of capital, he said.

The world has never seen such freezing heat

Facts seem to have a problem of creeping back into the global warming farce.
By Christopher Booker

Last Updated: 12:01am GMT 16/11/2008

A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore's chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record.
