Where oh where do I begin....
Lets start with the fact that with the exception of Fox News, no major news outlet will call the Recruiting Station Attack what it was, a terrorist attack. Whether he was born here or not, it doesn't matter, he strove to attack an infrastructure of the government in order to make a grievance known. That is a definition of an insurgent. He also did it in a very public place, where it would be highly covered in the media, causing fear. That is a definition of terrorism. Are we that afraid now to call a terrorist attack what it is?
Secondly we have Obama in Saudi Arabia. I found it quite amusing that the King would not hold his hand. For those who know Arab culture, and the Saudi King's prior interaction with leaders, this is quite unusual. Maybe we should take a lesson from him.
Third, what is the big speech tomorrow? Hmmm....oh I don't know, but I can make a guess. I would bet he is going to do three things. One, he is going to apologize to the Arab world again, for as he would put it, American arrogance. Second he is going to call upon Israel to stop the settlements and immediately accept the two state solution. Three, he is going to try to embrace Iran again. How far he is going to go on the last one I am not sure. After the last 24 hours, and inviting them to 4th of July BBQ's I cant even begin to guess at specifics.
Whatever he says, I'm sure I'll have plenty to write on tomorrow night. Can our foreign policy get any worse?

obama 100 days press conference
HOLY COW! Where to start...
President obama held a press conference tonight in prime time (his 3rd in 3 mo). My question, where was the press? Or, I'm sorry, where were their voices? Obama has essentially neutered the press with his prepared list of only 13 liberal people to call upon, his mind-numbingly long answers that don't really answer any significant question, and his ability to avoid ANY economic questions in the middle of one of the worst economic times in this country's history.
Okay, am taking a breath. A few standout points:
1. Great Britain's Churchill did not torture the Germans because they were uniformed soldiers of a recognized enemy army, as per the Geneva Convention. However, they have no problem using VERY enhanced interrogation techniques with the IRA or spies.
Most of all, I am very scared that our President does not see anytime that he would approve enhanced interrogation methods, NOT ANY TIME.
2. What the hell is going on when a member of the press asks such a soft question as "What has surprised, enchanted, etc him about his first 100 days" ! Please!!! There were no questions to challenge his policy on the economy, the HUGE spending/increased taxes, the flight of fear over NYC a few days ago or anything substantial to the current times.
I am angry that Obama is getting a pass from the press, that Obama disrespects the American People by thinking they are so ignorant that they can not see the OBVIOUS orchestrating of every aspect of this conference and his presidency. Orchestrating is not new, but Obama brings it to new heights each and every day.
I am sad that I have to sit here tonight and put into words what should be obvious to someone who is the leader of the free world.

obama on his job
he's surprised at how many challenges he has to deal with. You wanted the job. We are the ones getting the short end of the stick. My report card for you: F
obama admits to nationalization
In case you missed it, obama just said, yes we are the shareholders in the auto industry, and we will tell them what to do.
obama for illegal immigration?
OK, first off you said you had great faith in Janet Napolitano, the person who claims there should be no illegal immigration.
Second, those here illegally should be put on a path to citizenship immediately?
Third, your worried about the safety of illegal immigrants coming here?
Fourth, you want to change everything about this in the next year?
Now I can see why you don't want to close the border. Illegal immigrants are more important to you then the citizens your supposed to serve.

obama impressed
Well you ignored the Military during your campaign, blew off the wounded to play basketball and every time you meet with them, you have them carefully selected to make sure they supported you in the election.
obama on the Iraq Ambassador
I am so glad that obama has great confidence in the new ambassador to Iraq Chris Hill. Even though he is completely a political appointment with almost no experience in the Middle East. Again, I feel so safe and confident....
Obama On Torture
So the president says he will keep the nation safe at any cost? But he would never ever consider enhanced interrogation to gain time sensitive information to save millions of American lives. Which by the way does not physically injure the person being interrogated. Gee, I feel safe.
By the way these men have sworn to destroy us. Again, gee, I feel safe with you in charge.
