&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
This election can be won by &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.mittromney.com/&quot; rel=&quot;homepage&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Mitt Romney&quot;&gt;Mitt Romney&lt;/a&gt;. His aggressive spirit this week is very encouraging and I believe is turning momentum in his favor. Continue to attack. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next, call a &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_conference&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;News conference&quot;&gt;press conference&lt;/a&gt; and make this statement, &quot; If elected, I pledge that I will never blame the previous administration. I understand that as of my inauguration, I am in charge and what occurs during my tenure is my responsibility. I am aware of the status of the country, it&#39;s financial and other problems. The era of blame is over and the error of accountability is here!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More unsolicited advice coming soon. &lt;br /&gt;

Not a word. Not even a fly-over!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their are so many fund raisers to attend and so much golf to play. There just is not enough time to do everything. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If George Bush was watching Colorado burn and Florida drown, would the press give him the same free pass they are giving President Obama? Not likely.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As noted in Breitbart.com and particularly as quoted below from that article, there is a stench hanging over the Fast and Furious mess. It feels unfinished and unresolved, and it is. Voters do not believe that this should just &quot;go away&quot; as the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.89325,-77.0249722222&amp;amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;amp;q=38.89325,-77.0249722222%20%28United%20States%20Department%20of%20Justice%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;United States Department of Justice&quot;&gt;DOJ&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;White House&quot;&gt;White House&lt;/a&gt; are hoping. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://thehill.com/&quot; rel=&quot;homepage&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;The Hill (newspaper)&quot;&gt;The Hill&lt;/a&gt; Poll found that likely 
voters disapproved by an almost 2-to-1 margin of Obama’s assertion of 
presidential power in the case. Overall, 56 percent of voters 
disapproved of his action, while only 29 percent approved. …&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Sixty-one percent of independents
 said they disapproved of the president’s actions, and just 25 percent 
approved. Among Republicans, opposition to the president’s use of 
executive privilege was more entrenched at 78 percent. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Even 28 percent of Democrats, and 30 percent of self-identified liberals disapproved of Obama’s position.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is bothersome and nagging and won&#39;t go away is this very simple question, &quot;What could be so damaging that it would cause the President to invoke executive privilege?&quot; If this problem, whatever it is, is an issue that is contained in the DOJ or &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.atf.gov/&quot; rel=&quot;homepage&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives&quot;&gt;ATF&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/&quot; rel=&quot;homepage&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Drug Enforcement Administration&quot;&gt;DEA&lt;/a&gt;, or even the Bush Administration, then Obama would lop off the appropriate heads and take credit for the cure. Even if that cure meant jettisoning Eric Holder, Obama would protect himself. Apparently, he cannot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other question that needs to be answered and should be simple to do is, &quot;Who approved this program?&quot; If that information can&#39;t be produced within an hour, the DOJ should be shut down as an incompetent organization operating without any internal controls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What are the chances that the political arm of the White House was way too involved? Just a thought. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Barack Obama is asking brides to accept campaign donations for the Obama Election Campaign in lieu of wedding gifts for themselves and their spouses. What a guy! A true romantic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the best example yet of how his mind works. And it is frightening. Everything, even the most special day in the lives of millions of Americans, he believes should be subordinated to his needs and wants. Is nothing sacred?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually don&#39;t ask. And, please don&#39;t let him watch &lt;i&gt;Bravehear&lt;u&gt;t&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt; again.

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://washingtonexaminer.com/pelosi-obama-should-unilaterally-eliminate-the-debt-ceiling/article/2500408&quot;&gt;Pelosi: Obama should unilaterally eliminate the debt ceiling | WashingtonExaminer.com&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nancy Pelosi is blocking for the next Obama power grab. And, she loves it. You can hear that in the coyness of the last question she leaves dangling in the wind as quoted below. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;“I think he should [declare the debt ceiling unconstitutional],” 
Pelosi said, though she wouldn’t predict Obama’s move. “I’m in a 
different branch of government. In the minority, in the House. What do I
 know about what the president’s going to do?”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Obama is planning to side-step Congress again and unilaterally blow open the debt ceiling.&amp;nbsp; He has no choice. Without money to service his voters, he has nothing. He doesn&#39;t know how to negotiate with the Republicans and they don&#39;t trust him. Obama has no leadership skills and no use for Congress and the restraints of the Constitution.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This move to once again make an end run around Congress is Obama&#39;s admission of failure. Anyone can govern without opposition. Mrs. Pelosi is right, he is much better at &quot;declaring&quot; than governing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Usually we call those who &quot;declare&quot; dictators, and spend our national treasurer to overthrow them. It takes political skill to bring parties together for the common good. Playing Dictator is much easier until you are overthrown. Let&#39;s hope that happens in November.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pelosi knows. She just threw down the gauntlet. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;zemanta-img&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Speaker_Nancy_Pelosi.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;English: Nancy Pelosi photo portrait as Speake...&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;zemanta-img-inserted&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Speaker_Nancy_Pelosi.jpg/300px-Speaker_Nancy_Pelosi.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none; font-size: 0.8em;&quot; width=&quot;213&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
Nancy Pelosi is becoming further detached from reality as each day passes that she is no longer the Speaker of the House. It is eating her up.&amp;nbsp; She needs rest, some help and, for her own good she should retire. She is embarrassing herself and her party.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In her rant today, she offered the theory that the Republican&#39;s challenge to Attorney General Holder over the Fast and Furious scandal is a part of a organized effort to suppress the vote in the upcoming elections in November.&amp;nbsp; She made no attempt to offer any proof or even a hint of who was involved and what they were doing to implement this cabal. None. Just another feckless accusation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yesterday, Mrs. Pelosi was spinning a tale about how she could have arrested Karl Rove &quot;on any given day&quot; and confined him in the &quot;little jail here at the capitol&quot;. The one problem with this statement is that she never had that authority. Other than that one little detail, her statement was true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, if Mrs. Pelosi is willing to agree that as of yesterday Speaker Boehner has 
the authority to arrest Attorney General Holder, Karl Rove would 
probably agree that her statement was true. And, she should agree not to complain when Speaker Boehner arrests Mr. Holder upon his return from Amsterdam. That seems fair. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nancy Pelosi is consumed with hatred for George W. Bush and Karl Rove. It is a sad thing to watch her go down this road. This is not going to end well for her. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So Sam, tell me how you know this. Is your unique ability to peer into the souls of all the people on the right a God-given talent like ESP, or is it a trained ability you gained by sporting a comb-over (or rug) that could make Donald Trump jealous? Or maybe it is just arrogance you acquired while working at ABC News?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And, when did you know you had this special talent? Did it hit you like a bolt of lightning or come to your consciousness over a period of time? Just curious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sam, when you look into the hearts and souls of Obama supporters, do you also see the ones that voted for him &lt;b&gt;because&lt;/b&gt; he is black? That has to be a much larger group. Barack Obama was elected by white voters because a certain number felt guilt-ridden and believed they cleansed their racial souls by voting for the man.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latter group has to be much larger because there was no other reasons to vote for a candidate so inexperienced and unprepared. None. Even a white candidate with so little experience most would find completely unacceptable. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By every measure this President been a complete failure. The country is more divided now than it has been at any point in my lifetime. The economy is in shambles and the man can&#39;t even get a single vote for his own budgets. Not one, Democrat or Republican. Our foreign affairs are a mess and our domestic policies are being experimented with by a socialist leaning leader who feels there is no restraint on his powers. It is frightening. He must be defeated. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Donaldson, people oppose this President because he has proven himself to be an incompetent leader, not because he is only half white.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sam, here is your honesty test. Examine your soul and answer this truthfully. Do you honestly believe a completely white Barack Obama would have beaten Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination in 2008? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

This President will do anything to get re-elected. He is shameless. He doesn&#39;t even try to disguise his tactics any longer. Desperate times call for desperate measures. This stunt should take care of the Latino vote for now.&amp;nbsp; Check that box off. Move on to the youth vote. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marijuana here we come! Yep, he is going to instruct our law enforcement officials to not enforce our drug laws so he can get re-elected. He will probably hold this in his pocket until September or even better save it for an October surprise.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2012/06/bill-clintons-words-could-haunt-obama-today/1#.T9n9cd3NnNp&quot;&gt;Bill Clinton&#39;s words could haunt Obama today&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bill Clinton is widely regarded as the greatest politician of our times. This Rhodes Scholar from Arkansas is still seen as the leader of the Democrat party. When he speaks, people listen; especially liberal journalists. So, let&#39;s take him at his word. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;In September 2010, Clinton told his Cuyahoga Community College audience in Cleveland that Democrats deserved two more years to fix the nation&#39;s economy.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&quot;The Democrats are saying something like this: &#39;We found a big hole that we did not dig. We didn&#39;t get it filled in 21 months, but at least we quit digging,&#39;&quot; Clinton said at the time. &quot;&#39;Give us two more years. If it doesn&#39;t work, vote us out.&#39;&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay. I agree. Will do.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;really meant it. And anyway, Obama is cool. Right on, right on.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This panel is a bunch of chickens. They should quit nibbling around the edges and just ban all restaurants and bars in New York. If they really want to prevent obesity, just do it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The good mayor knows damn good and well that all those high priced steak houses are just killing people. Have you ever heard any nutritionist espouse the benefits contained in a bottle of gin? Certainly the city can do without the jobs and tax revenues for the good of the waistlines of New Yorkers. If you are going to stand on principle, stand on it don&#39;t just dance around the edges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come on Mayor Bloomberg, show some cajones!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe he needs one more term.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Again, this &quot;Justice&quot; Department and the Obama Administration are laughing in the face of any oversight from any source. Shame on the Republicans for not throwing an absolute hissy fit over the Obama Administration&#39;s continued abuse of executive power. The lesson Republicans need to take away from this disaster is that if you appoint a willing and controllable Attorney General, there is no limit to Presidential power. Remember that in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Obama Administration decided that bond holder&#39;s interests would be vacated and their &quot;property&quot; was handed over to the unions in violation of every standard and contract law this country operates under, I knew that the Republicans wouldn&#39;t rest until this was reversed. But, not a whimper. Very disappointing. Unfortunately, it continues. Justice Kagan should have recused herself from this matter. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elena Kagan will always be remembered for one thing in history. She was appointed to the Supreme Court to prevent Obamacare from being overturned by the Supreme Court.&amp;nbsp; She understands her job.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If you were trying to find a way to aggravate people, this would be it. Call people who don&#39;t want you to call them on their cell phones, which costs them money, and beg for more money for your favorite politicians. Really? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Republicans, be smart and resist this evil temptation.&amp;nbsp; It will benefit you many times over to be the party who does not abuse the personal space of your constituents. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As quoted in &lt;a href=&quot;http://politico.com/&quot;&gt;Politico.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;i&gt;The &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.fec.gov/&quot; rel=&quot;homepage&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Federal Election Commission&quot;&gt;Federal Election Commission&lt;/a&gt; on Monday night unanimously voted to allow Americans to make political donations via text message, making Androids, iPhones and BlackBerrys the newest weapon in the battle to raise unprecedented amounts of money.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Both parties, as well as campaign finance reform advocates, say the move will allow Americans of modest means to play a greater role in a democratic process dominated this election cycle by billionaires and multimillionaires and political organizations such as super PACs that may raise and spend money without restriction.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just a friendly, but smart suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Hmm. This isn&#39;t supposed to be happening to His Coolness, Barack Obama. And certainly it isn&#39;t supposed to be reported in the mainstream press. Come on people, hold that line a little longer. November will be here soon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What are the chances you hear this poll cited on MSNBC tonight? Here is an excerpt from the article:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;EPIC co-founder John Cavanagh said the softening in support for Obama is likely related to a robust TV advertising campaign by pro-Romney PACs which have been critical of his handling of the economy. Perhaps most troubling for the Democratic president is a decline in support from independent voters, Cavanagh said.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So when the data is unfavorable to the Obama camp, they explain it away as a temporary bump from advertising. This documented softening of support for President Obama couldn&#39;t be the result of a nation awakening from a spell cast upon it by a once dynamic politician, and slowly becoming aware they have been duped? No way, say those with their noses in the air and degrees from Columbia. The electorate is too stupid to do that, or so they opine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, we are coming out of our slumber. Can&#39;t you smell it? The Obama campaign is loosing momentum and flailing along. Many of his donors from 2008 are not contributing at all in this election cycle and the Romney campaign is now raising more money than the Obama campaign. Hell, even Obama&#39;s surrogates are turning on him. Bill Clinton is a one man wrecking crew. These are not good signs for the re-election prospects of Mr. Obama. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You know that smell. Kind of like the scent of a skunk, it just lingers and you can&#39;t get it off. Funny how you never forget that smell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Is it just me or do Obama supporters actually expend more effort denying facts that are provably true than they spend promoting plans and policies for good governance that are not. The most recent example of a fact they deny is outlined in this excellent article in National Review Online and quoted below:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Minutes of the meeting on January 11, 1996, of the New Party’s Chicago chapter read as follows:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions. He signed the New Party “Candidate Contract” and requested an endorsement from the New Party. He also joined the New Party.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;The party’s official “statement of principles,” which candidates seeking  endorsement from the Chicago chapter were asked to support, called for a  “peaceful revolution” and included redistributive proposals  substantially to the left of the Democratic party.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;What&#39;s a little contract between friends trying to start a &quot;peaceful revolution&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;

Did you hear, democracy died in Wisconsin last night. What a shame. Hopefully, it was a peaceful passing. God Bless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What a shame. When is the funeral?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is Richard Trumpka a pallbearer or a suspect in it&#39;s untimely death? &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
Thank goodness I caught a little of Mika Brzezinski this morning. Otherwise,&amp;nbsp; I would have gone through the whole day believing that Governor Scott Walker won the recall election in Wisconsin last night. Mika kindly straightened me out on that by explaining that Obama was the real winner last night and it looked terrible for poor Mitt in Wisconsin this November. The &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_poll&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Exit poll&quot;&gt;exit polls&lt;/a&gt; clearly proved that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hey Mika, are those the same exit polls that projected a &quot;too close to call&quot; election last night? Same ones? Just checking. Same ones that reported 119% voter turnout in Milwaukee? Yes those. Blind faith can be a beautiful thing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s a little unfair to Mika to presume her Obama bias is a voluntary action, because it is quite obvious that she has a case of the vapors when it comes to everything Obama. She can&#39;t help herself. The vapors do that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some might even say she was &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Blinded by the Light!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/06/04/Black-Ministers-Blast-Elizabeth-Warren-Abuse-of-Affirmative-Action&quot;&gt;Black Ministers Blast Elizabeth Warren&#39;s Apparent Abuse of Affirmative Action&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a liberal democrat in Massachusetts looses the support of black ministers there is a problem. A big one. Big as in &quot;Houston, we have a problem.&quot; big.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elizabeth Warren has that problem. But, is that her biggest problem? Maybe not. Let&#39;s say she wins the election and is sworn in as a United States Senator. A year later, some young aggressive federal prosecutor decides to make an effort to slow down the abuse of affirmative action scams and prosecute those making false claims to gain unlawful advantage. After all, for every incident there is a victim who did not gain the advantages intended by affirmative action policies and laws.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those crimes generally occur when a perpetrator finds an organization that is willing to bend a few rules or turn a blind eye. Wink, wink, nod, nod. And, by bending those rules, those organizations gain additional funding, or rankings, or compliance levels as well.&amp;nbsp; These entities make EEOC filings for this very reason. And, I am sure there are consequences to filing false information. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And generally, prosecutors don&#39;t go looking for these problems within liberal bastions like Ivy League Law Schools. But if they did, could she get caught up in it? There sure has been enough publicity about it to make it hard to ignore. Maybe a quick peek behind the Ivy is warranted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;i&gt;Globe&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;reports:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;webkit-indent-blockquote&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;articlePluckHidden&quot; style=&quot;display: block;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“It is within bounds to raise the question of whether or not a white  woman used the minority card for her professional advantage,” said [Rev.  Eugene F.]&amp;nbsp;Rivers.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“Ancestry is not the issue,” Rivers added, saying that Warren’s  handling of the controversy raises questions beyond her heritage. “Did  you tell the truth? Because you marketed yourself as the good-guy,  straight-shooting-populist, representing-poor-people candidate.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“Affirmative action — that issue becomes important because it points  to who you are,” added the Rev. Jeffrey Brown, executive director of the  TenPoint Coalition, who pointed to an assertion that she is 1/32  Cherokee. “I’m thinking to myself, if I was 1/32 white, or of European  descent, would I be able to put on an application that I was white? And  if you look at a picture of me, you see what I’m talking about. The  question is not a trivial one, or one that can just be dismissed as a  Republican tactic. And I say this as someone who campaigned for Martha  Coakley and I’m independent in terms of my political status.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;webkit-indent-blockquote&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The controversy also gains steam because it involves Harvard — an  elite institution that represents the intellectual capital of the  country and, to conservatives, the center of liberal idealism.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;“Harvard as an institution, as part of Massachusetts’ self-image, is  colossal,” said [Republican analyst Todd] Domke. “Whether people want to  joke about it, criticize it, or exalt it, it’s still bigger than this  Senate race in terms of the whole reputation of the state. It won’t go  away because of that — because people feel there’s something a little  scandalous about Harvard claiming diversity with a woman who is,  according to her family lore, 31/32 Caucasian.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possibly the worst thing that could happen to Elizabeth Warren would be winning the election.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

Thank God &lt;strike&gt;there was a man &lt;/strike&gt;Valerie Jarrett was in the room or this could have gotten ugly. Slaps all around. I hope she didn&#39;t hurt them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So apparently the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Attorney_General&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;United States Attorney General&quot;&gt;Attorney General of the United States&lt;/a&gt;, is screaming at the President&#39;s political hack for trying to insert political types into the operations of the Department of Justice. Damn, everyone knows it&#39;s Holder&#39;s job to play politics at the Department of Injustice. After all, he has so many red states to sue before he sleeps.&amp;nbsp; I guess he was mad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But why was the Attorney General meeting with the President&#39;s political people anyway? Isn&#39;t the job of the Attorney General to protect all the people, not just the democrat Americans? It used to be. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, if there is video of this and I bet there is, this could be the greatest fund raising device &quot;evah&quot;! Can you imagine how many people would pay good money to see this cat fight in the White House.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This president has some great people around him for making a sitcom or soap opera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eric Holder needs to resign. He is in way over his head.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

Elizabeth Warren is a flawed candidate. She has been exposed as less than truthful on many occasions when it has benefited her career path. Yet, the liberal base of Massachusetts won&#39;t give up on her no matter what is exposed during her vetting by the non-mainstream media. The mainstream media only vets Republican candidates. Especially ones from Massachusetts.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;But there are signs that the controversy has wounded the first-time candidate, whose entrance into the race came with a star power that galvanized Democrats and catapulted the contest into one of the most closely watched in the nation.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The vast majority of voters (72 percent) said the issue would not affect their vote, but 31 percent of self-described independents — a critical voting bloc — said the issue makes them less likely to support Warren in November. The Harvard professor’s popularity has also risen one percentage point, to 48 percent, since the Globe polled in March, but the percentage of detractors has climbed more precipitously, by nine points to 32 percent.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does it take in Massachusetts for the democrats to abandon a liberal? Apparently quite a bit. Voters always knew of and happily accepted, the many foibles of the Kennedy clan. No matter the seriousness of their many transgressions, voter loyalty seemed to increase from the adoring lemmings of the Commonwealth. After all, Camelot must go on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, history is grudgingly becoming less kind to the legacy of the Kennedy clan, or should I say tribe (Sorry. Couldn&#39;t resist. Get it Princess Pants on Fire fans?). Ten years ago you never heard open discussions about patriarch Joe Kennedy&#39;s rum running beginnings. And certainly they were not admitted as fact as they are today. As the scandalous rumors of the Camelot years become&amp;nbsp;today&#39;s facts&amp;nbsp;about the less than moral lives led by John F. Kennedy and his sidekick Teddy, the lack of journalistic integrity that kept the castle&#39;s secrets for a generation is also being exposed. In the Commonwealth, it takes time to face facts about their politicians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Will Massachusetts really elect another flawed liberal Democrat United States Senator over an incumbent moderate to liberal Republican? We will find out in November. But, I am guessing they will. They always do in. Warts and all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
History is not as forgiving as the voters in the Commonwealth of&amp;nbsp;Massachusetts.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Where the hell is my helmet?&amp;nbsp;It might be time for a tank ride again. Somebody just ran down the hall screaming &quot; The 1/32 &amp;nbsp;Indians are coming, the 1/32 Indians are coming.&quot;. And, I could have sworn I heard a lady singing O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A! Oklahoma, OK!&lt;br /&gt;

Yep, those rascally &lt;strike&gt;Republicans&lt;/strike&gt; Democrats are at it again. Damn racists are requiring&amp;nbsp;a photo ID&amp;nbsp;to enter the Massachusetts Democratic Convention. Safety first, we don&#39;t want any illegal delegates voting at the &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Massachusetts&amp;nbsp;Democratic Convention.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Since when is the Secretary of State responsible for saving the earth. Ever heard of Syria! How are things in Israel. What the hell is going on in Egypt now that she helped dethrone the only good dictator we had&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;in the middle east?&amp;nbsp; And, what the hell is that nut in Iran up to these days? I can think of quite a few things more important than looking at glaciers and whales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There are bigger concerns than saving the damn icebergs. There seems to be a trend in this administration because it appears that there are no boundaries on the authority of anyone in this administration. Maybe next week the Director of the EPA will be in Egypt studying sand dunes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Thank goodness Joe Biden was put out to pasture this week because between Princess Pants on Fire and President Obama it is difficult keeping up with the fodder they keep spewing out. Between Obama slipping in the little secret about his sons and his insulting the people of Poland and still finding the time to confuse the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://ncaa.org/&quot; rel=&quot;homepage&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;National Collegiate Athletic Association&quot;&gt;NCAA&lt;/a&gt; with the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.naacp.org/&quot; rel=&quot;homepage&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;National Association for the Advancement of Colored People&quot;&gt;NAACP&lt;/a&gt; during a ceremony at the White House. That was the same event at the White House where President Obama presented the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_of_Freedom&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Medal of Freedom&quot;&gt;Medal of Freedom&lt;/a&gt; to an avowed socialist. Things are hopping. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And who would have guessed that they keep the vital statistic of the number of nursing mothers that take the bar exam in New Jersey. Have to admit a weird curiosity about how they gather this data. Had I been familiar with this interesting data category, my first guess would have been that Elizabeth Warren was right up near the front of the line. What a talented Indian princess.&lt;br /&gt;

This poor lady needs a break. But it doesn&#39;t look like one is coming very soon. Both the Breitbart people and the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.bostonherald.com/&quot; rel=&quot;homepage&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Boston Herald&quot;&gt;Boston Herald&lt;/a&gt; smell blood. They are having so much fun that the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/&quot; rel=&quot;homepage&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;The Boston Globe&quot;&gt;Boston Globe&lt;/a&gt; is even testing the waters. And recently a large association of Native Americans have banded together and are beginning to exert some real pressure on behalf of the Cherokee Nation.&lt;br /&gt;
