One and Done?

One and Done?

ONE day during the 2008 campaign, as Barack Obama read the foreboding news of the mounting economic and military catastrophes that W. was bequeathing his successor, he dryly remarked to aides: “Maybe I should throw the game.”

...The days of spinning illusions in a Greek temple in a football stadium are done. The One is dancing on the edge of one term.

Obama and the Burden of Exceptionalism Post-'60s liberals, with the president as their standard bearer, seek to make a virtue of decline.

If I've heard it once, I've heard it a hundred times: President Obama is destroying the country. Some say this destructiveness is intended; most say it is inadvertent, an outgrowth of inexperience, ideological wrong-headedness and an oddly undefined character. Indeed, on the matter of Mr. Obama's character, today's left now sounds like the right of three years ago. They have begun to see through the man and are surprised at how little is there.

Yet there is something more than inexperience or lack of character that defines this presidency: Mr. Obama came of age in a bubble of post-'60s liberalism that conditioned him to be an adversary of American exceptionalism. In this liberalism America's exceptional status in the world follows from a bargain with the devil—an indulgence in militarism, racism, sexism, corporate greed, and environmental disregard as the means to a broad economic, military, and even cultural supremacy in the world. And therefore America's greatness is as much the fruit of evil as of a devotion to freedom.

York: Left paints the campaign as a religious war

York: Left paints the campaign as a religious war

The fundamental facts of the presidential race at this moment are that unemployment is high, the economy is by far the most important issue to American voters, and President Obama's handling of economic questions is overwhelmingly unpopular. Republican presidential hopefuls Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann and others are hammering the president daily on matters of job creation and economic growth.

Now some of Obama's activist allies and supporters in the press are engaged in a sharply focused effort to change the subject... some of the nation's premier political journalists are consumed with the alleged influences of obscure religious philosophers on Republican candidates...

FEMA'S use of term 'federal family' for government expands under Obama

FEMA'S use of term 'federal family' for government expands under Obama

Don’t think of it as the federal government but as your “federal family.”

In a Category 4 torrent of official communications during the approach and aftermath of Hurricane Irene, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has repeatedly used the phrase “federal family” when describing the Obama administration’s response to the storm.

The Obama administration didn’t invent the phrase but has taken it to new heights.

New tone: I stand by my remarks about tea-party racists, says Andre Carson

He didn’t mean all tea partiers, silly. He meant a nameless, faceless “some,” much as Obama insisted repeatedly during his bus tour that there are “some” in Congress who care more about party than country without ever getting around to identifying them. Much as I might say there are “some” Democratic leaders so low-rent that they’d happily demagogue their opponents in the cheapest, most toxic ways to gain political advantage.

No no, just kidding about that last part. Pretty much all Democrat leaders are that low-rent.

Obama Justice sued for picking which laws to enforce 'This isn't just a threat to marriage. It's a threat to the entire democratic process'

Obama Justice sued for picking which laws to enforce 'This isn't just a threat to marriage. It's a threat to the entire democratic process'

Barack Obama's Department of Justice has been sued in federal court – again – for picking and choosing which of the nation's laws it wants to enforce.

...It focuses on the announcement last winter from Attorney General Eric Holder that his department – assigned the responsibility of defending the U.S. and its laws – simply won't do that when it comes to the congressionally approved and presidentially signed Defense of Marriage Act.
