Weapon of Massa distraction: Cold showers and hot conspiracies

By Michelle Malkin • March 8, 2010 05:34 PM

Look, I’m as happy as anyone to see Rahmbo and the Chicago Way slammed so openly by another Democrat. Naked shower fights? Blue-on-blue catfights?

Yep, it confirms everything I’ve been writing about the Obama Culture of Corruption the last two years.

But.

He’s a sick, desperate pol looking to save his hide and distract from his smelly ethics problems and personal problems.... http://michellemalkin.com/2010/03/08/weapon-of-massa-distraction-cold-showers-and-hot-conspiracies/

The end of the road for Barack Obama?

Barack Obama seems unable to face up to America's problems, writes Simon Heffer in New York.

Published: 8:16AM GMT 08 Mar 2010

It is a universal political truth that administrations do not begin to fragment when things are going well: it only happens when they go badly, and those who think they know better begin to attack those who manifestly do not. The descent of Barack Obama's regime, characterised now by factionalism in the Democratic Party and talk of his being set to emulate Jimmy Carter as a one-term president, has been swift and precipitate. It was just 16 months ago that weeping men and women celebrated his victory over John McCain in the American presidential election. If they weep now, a year and six weeks into his rule, it is for different reasons... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/7396358/The-end-of-the-road-for-Barack-Obama.html

Mark Steyn: Obamacare worth the price to Democrats

By MARK STEYN

So there was President Obama, giving his bazillionth speech on health care, droning yet again that "now is the hour when we must seize the moment," the same moment he's been seizing every day of the week for the past year, only this time his genius photo-op guys thought it would look good to have him surrounded by men in white coats.

Why is he doing this? Why let "health" "care" "reform" stagger on like the rotting husk in a low-grade creature feature who refuses to stay dead no matter how many stakes you pound through his chest?

Because it's worth it. Big time. I've been saying in this space for two years that the governmentalization of health care is the fastest way to a permanent left-of-center political culture. It redefines the relationship between the citizen and the state in fundamental ways that make limited government all but impossible... http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/health-237719-care-government.html

What the Tea Party Movement Must Never Forget

by Gary DeMar, Feb 08, 2010

What is government? When this question is asked, most people respond by equating government solely to a centralized civil State. Even our language reflects the confusion: “Government? It’s in Washington,” or “The government will take care of its citizens through its many programs.” Both of these statements reflect a misunderstanding of the true nature of government... http://www.americanvision.org/article/what-the-tea-party-movement-must-never-forget/

This is the story of a Spanish study that rankled green groups last year as the House debated climate legislation, and of how the Energy Department came to publish a "rebuttal" of that study - touching off a war of words between supporters and foes of federal limits on greenhouse gas emissions... http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2010/03/questions_swirl_around_windjob.html

Why Americans Hate Washington

A Commentary By Debra J. Saunders

Tuesday, March 02, 2010

It seems this administration is all for fiscal restraint -- as long as you don't mean it.

The story began last week when Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky., blocked Senate passage of a bill to extend one month unemployment and COBRA health insurance benefits, and other spending, because it did not comply with PAYGO.... http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/political_commentary/commentary_by_debra_j_saunders/why_americans_hate_washington

Misery, Thy Name Is Bureaucracy

By Joe Herring

As is true of any bureaucratic organization, there is a tendency to abandon the purpose of the process and to become obsessed with the process itself. Vast resources are arrayed to study the existing processes, inevitably resulting in a framework of new processes that seek to guide the processes upon which they are layered, accomplishing nothing more than to provide an excuse for the bureaucracy to grow and consume ever-greater resources. It is not long before the bureaucracy reaches the tipping point and becomes a self-replicating machine.... http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/03/misery_thy_name_is_bureaucracy.html

Bozell Column: Our Deficit-Enabling Media

By Brent Bozell

Tue, 03/02/2010 - 23:04 ET

Sen. Bunning isn’t proposing job cuts – or even spending cuts. He’s using a hold, and demanding that legislators of both parties put up or shut up when they declare they’re for "pay as you go" budgeting. When it comes to massive deficits, the media are useless as part of a solution. They are a very loud and propagandistic part of the problem... http://ow.ly/16HM9j
