Headline

So here we have the President of the United States trying to address racial profiling on the national level and get people to look at an issue far too long ignored and yet:

… did you notice that when things went bad on the public relations front for a proud "black scholar" and the country's first African-American president, all of a sudden everybody was Irish? What gives? Are they essentially blaming their race-baiting knee-jerk statements on this one particular singled-out slice of ancestry? If so, this isn't the kind of racial "healing" I was hoping for.

Michelle Malkin implying that President Obama and Professor Gates are using Irish customs to cover up bad publicity.



 

Seriously. Bringing two sides together to address the issue in a civilized manner translates to "the President is playing 'cover your a$$!".

Then we have…

Alternate headline: "Teachable Moment Results In Nothing...

So I am sent this article in the mail about how “Gay is not the new black” which, in essence, says:

The 40th anniversary of Stonewall dominated Gay Pride celebrations around the country, and while that is certainly a significant moment that should be recognized, 40 years is nothing compared with the 400 blood-soaked years black people have been through in this country. There are stories some blacks lived through, stories others were told by their parents and stories that never had a chance to be told.

While those who were at Stonewall talk about the fear of being arrested by police, 40 years ago, blacks talked about the fear of dying at the hands of police and not having their bodies found or murder investigated. The 13th Amendment was signed in 1865, and it wasn't until 1948 that President Harry S. Truman desegregated the military. That's more than an 80-year gap.

Not...

So he is telling Obama to slow down.

Hopefully when they meet Obama politely tells him to STFU, do your job, and get people the healthcare they need.

The Republicans love to advocate for local and state rights except when places like the District of Columbia tries to, you know, actually exercise those rights.

A phenomenally weak majority leader.

Today, Harry whines when others try to do the job for him.

We need someone who:

1. understands the difference between negotiating and appeasement.
2. holds his/her fellow Senators’ feet to the fire.
3. doesn’t recycle debunked talking points in order to seem bi-partisan.

The Wingnut camp are idiots. We need more principle and less bi-partisanship on our side of the aisle.

Obama Axes Pentagon Plan To Build Billion Dollar Tank In Shape Of Dragon





What the right is complaining about when Obama cuts useless or bloated programs at the Pentagon.

After repealing DADT Obama needs to start reversing the “Buy Big Guns to Compensate for Lack of Ideas” ideology of the military.

...

Apparently, Michelle Malkin and Wingnuts Incorporated think that by forcing Congress to adopt Obama’s healthcare plan the plan will go down in flames:

If socialized medicine is good enough to force on American taxpayers, it’s good enough for Congress. I like this House resolution from Rep. John Fleming requiring lawmakers in Washington to enroll in any government-run health plan it decides to foist on the rest of us.

Except one small problem for the master plan of Malkin and Co; they are already on the evil, socialist, anti-God government-provided healthcare system:

“They're all covered through the Federal Employees Health Benefits program, which is a good menu of plans…”

Try harder, GOP…

So according to Ed Morrissey Obama has problems nominating competent judges to the Supreme Court:

What do these bad reviews for Sotomayor mean?  It doesn’t mean she won’t get confirmed.  The White House has no intention of closing this show now and admitting defeat, and the Senate Democrats won’t let Sotomayor fail in order to protect their new President.  However, her performance adds fuel to the Republican argument that Barack Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor not because she was the best possible candidate and not because she was a moderate, but strictly for political purposes.  None of this will affect her tenure on the Supreme Court, but it will provide further evidence that Obama has a big problem in selecting people for his administration, and that there seems to be little effort at vetting nominees for important positions.

Really, Ed?

...

Are always out there. The sad part is that at best the louder voices really don’t believe in what they are saying.

America needs to figure out how we can marginalize these voices. Only then can we move forward with simple things like ensuring a decent quality of life for every American.
