America, You Voted for This
“Leadership: As Americans suffer economically, President Obama golfs, vacations, campaigns, appears on a frivolous talk show — and vacations some more. Gee, don’t we have a war and other problems to attend to?”
Will history record that Barack Obama’s only great achievement as president was getting his golf handicap down to the teens?

The Media Assault on Sarah Palin
K. remembers seeing Palin emerge and walk onto the stage, dressed in a sharp black suit, as the crowd in Ohio went wild.
In Chicago, the Liberals around him cringed, as that excitement and energy reverberated through the large screens and smacked them in the face.
K. will never forget two Liberal women, clutching each other, faces blanched, with true dread in their eyes.
“What are we going to do now? She’s incredible. He can win now, with her. What are we going to do?”.
“We need to destroy her. We need the media to destroy her”.
“They need to do their job. They need to destroy her”.

Journolist Scandal Exposed
We suspected the mainstream media (MSM) of leaning left for many years but their actions were never so blatant as when they acted as cheerleaders for candidate Barack Obama in 2008 before the presidential election.
They covered no story that was critical of Obama, and refused to vet him as a presidential candidate. They felt it was their job, not to investigate a man with a mysterious past, who had no accomplishments save writing two books about himself, who came from nowhere to get elected to the Illinois seat, and was about to be thrust into the Oval Office.
Now we know the truth.
In a scandal that should shake out any faith you have left in journalist, today’s journolist revelations will show beyond a shadow of doubt that hundreds of so-called mainstream journalists from leading newspapers, magazines, and broadcast news organizations are leftwing political operatives.
Sean Hannity was correct when he said journalism died in 2008.

SarahPAC is the Front Runner
A report in Politico concludes that Sarah Palin’s political action committe, SarahPAC, is the real deal and benefits a potential candidate considering a presidential run:
A new financial report filed Sunday evening showed Sarah Palin’s political action committee has taken its fundraising to a higher level – and suggests that she has begun building a more sophisticated political operation in place of a bare-bones organization powered mostly by her rock star status and scrappy on-line presence.

The report, filed with the Federal Election Commission, shows that Palin’s political action committee raised more money in the second quarter of this year – $866,000 – than it had in any previous three-month stretch since Palin formed the group in January 2009.
Obama’s One Man Death Panel
Sarah Palin warned people about this a year ago and was vilified for it. Now it has coming to pass – Obama has named a new head of Medicare, Harvard’s Dr. Donald Berwick, who thinks there is “better use” for funds than to spend it on lifesaving drugs and procedures for the elderly:
He [Berwick] has praised the U.K’s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), which he says has “developed very good and very disciplined, scientifically grounded, policy-connected models for the evaluation of medical treatments from which we ought to learn.”
Last year, the Orwellian-named NICE unveiled plans to cut annual steroid injections for severe back pain to 3,000 from 60,000. “The consequences of the NICE decision will be devastating for thousands of patients,” Jonathan Richardson of Bradford Hospital’s Trust told London’s Daily Telegraph…
If Berwick wants to imitate Britain’s model, perhaps he can explain why breast cancer in America has a 25% mortality rate while in Britain it’s almost double at 46. Prostate cancer is fatal to 19% of American men who get it; in Britain it kills 57% of those it strikes.
“Donald Berwick is a one-man death panel,” said David O’Steen, executive director of the National Right to Life Committee. “While Americans may not remember the agency he heads, he will quickly become known as Obama’s rationing czar.”
Berwick has opined: “We can make a sensible social decision and say, ‘Well, at this point, to have access to a particular additional benefit (new drug or medical intervention) is so expensive that our taxpayers have better use for those funds.”
Sounds like Death Panels to me. Read the full article at IBD: “The President’s One-Man Death Panel“
How Obama Stole the Primary
“Hillary won the popular vote by about 4%, but ended up losing the caucuses by 10%. So there is this huge 14 point swing between what Hillary should have won in a normal state and what she got at the end of the caucuses in Texas.”
