Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize?

Good grief... for what? This guy hasn't done a damn thing-

And what's he's proposing -"a world without nuclear weapons"- is unfortunately not a goal shared by those most likely to use them in Tehran and Pyongyang, not to mention up-and-coming wannabes in Caracas and elsewhere. Regardless of what noises the Russians might now be making to coax Obama a bit further along, they're the ones spreading most of the nuclear technology around in the first place- while gaining influence and plenty of cash along the way.

Along with Obama's lack of support for defensive missile technologies... how is this any different than unilateral disarmament/capitulation to these vile, aggressive regimes?

Apparently "soaring rhetoric" is all they're really looking for at the Nobel committee- rather than any actual results (like Reagan's ending the 40-year Cold War with a military build-up)... or even a speck of historical precedent that would suggest what Obambi's saying makes sense.

Looks like the international Left is united in trying to prop-up this pompous incompetent Obama in any way they can, so they threw him a bone after the Olympic committee sent him packing with his tail between his legs.

But two Palestinian intefadehs, the rise of Hamas, and many teenage suicide bombers have shown us how deserving Jimmy Carter was of his Nobel... likewise awarded for attempting to appease dangerous enemies, a repeatedly disproven and failed approach.

Meanwhile, those with a little more strategic clarity and a sense of responsibility -say, a Nicolas Sarkozy- have more accurately described Obama's weakness in the face of mortal threats, abandonment of allies, and Pollyanna world-view as "naive":

"President Obama dreams of a world without weapons... but right in-front of us, two countries doing the exact opposite."

Benedict Brogan in London's Daily Telegraph says Obama should show some self-awareness and turn down the award:

"The whole business of a bunch of Scandinavian worthies doling out the profits of a long-gone dynamite maker’s fortune has always smacked of the worst sort of self-satisfied plutocratic worthiness. But this takes the biscuit.

President Obama remains the barely man of world politics, barely a senator now barely a president, yet in the land of the Euro-weenies the great and the good remain in his thrall. To reward him for a blank results sheet, to inflate him when he has no achievements to his name, makes a mockery of what, let’s face it, is an already fairly discredited process...

And PS for the Obots of Norway: if it weren't for American nuclear weapons, you'd already be "celebrating" your 40th anniversary as a Soviet colony... right along with every inch of the rest of Europe.

Them Saudis Got Chutzpah

This one really takes the cake- the AP reports Saudi Arabia plans to insist on UN aid money if a significant portion of the world reaches a climate pact that potentially cuts dependence on oil consumption. This comes despite studies showing that OPEC revenues will soar +$33 trillion by 2030 -as much as 4x current income- regardless.

The Houston Chonicle:

There are plenty of needy countries at the U.N. climate talks in Bangkok that make the case they need financial assistance to adapt to the impacts of global warming. Then there are the Saudis.

Saudi Arabia has led a quiet campaign during these and other negotiations — demanding behind closed doors that oil-producing nations get special financial assistance if a new climate pact calls for substantial reductions in the use of fossil fuels...

High Noon: Sheriff Joe Arpaio vs the Dear Leader

America's toughest Sheriff -Arizona's Joe Arpaio- is now going toe-to-toe with the misguided Obama Administration regarding his dogged determination to enforce the law... and in spite of significant pressure and legal roadblocks eminating from the Boy Wonder and crew.

Of course, racially-obsessed AG Eric Holder was already investigating Arpaio re. "racial profiling"- I guess the good Sheriff is expected to be equally on the lookout for Ukrainian immigrants down there in the Arizona desert- just to be fair about it.

USA Today reports that the Department of Homeland Security has stripped Maricopa County's Sheriff Joe of his authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants based solely on their immigration status. DoHS chief and former Arizona Governor Janet Big Sis Napolitano is obviously under orders from the WH to keep Arpaio from enforcing imigration laws... or there soon won't be enough left to legalize -and register- prior to 2012's political reckoning.

But Sheriff Joe said Tuesday he plans to continue his controversial enforcement activities. “It’s all politics,” Arpaio told Arizona's East Valley Tribune. He also said he'll still be able to still conduct the crime sweeps under state human smuggling laws and an obscure federal law that allows local police to arrest illegal immigrants.

“Now I’m not under their control,” Arpaio said. “Nothing changes; that’s the irony of all of this.”

When asked why a recent federal audit of his operations wasn't released, the Sheriff said it was due to the fact that "we came out perfect"- and therefore not useful to the Obama Adminstration's efforts against him.

The principled and defiant Arpaio then stated that he'll soon conduct an operation “with a new twist.”...

Counting Fake Jobs Keeps Official Unemployment Below 10%

As told below by Wake Up America, the government uses a model to count unemployment that juices the numbers in favor of the administration, which thereby keeps the official jobless figure below the politically-damaging psychological barrier of 10%. In reality, the jobs situation is probably far worse. After the obvious failure of the ill-advised "stimulus" bill, this WH is desperate... and hanging by a thread politically.

"Recently the unemployment figures provided by our government reached 9.8 percent, but new reports show that number is not accurate... and unemployment is much worse than what the government has been
reporting..."

Another Appalling Farce from Team Obama

The habitually dishonest Obama Administration has been caught yet again staging the type of Astroturf event they've so often accused their genuine grassroots opponents of doing.

Moonbattery observed that Obama's plastic photo op yesterday with 150 doctors on the WH lawn was intended to demonstrate widespread support for the decaying corpse of ObamaCare... creating the illusion that most doctors somehow welcome an ill-advised statist takeover that would cut their pay and destroy their private practices.

As stated in the NY Post today:

In a heavy-handed attempt at reviving support
for health-care reform, the White House orchestrated a massive photo-op to
buttress its claim that front-line physicians support
Obama.

A sea of 150 white-coated doctors, all enthusiastically supportive of the president and representing all 50 states, looked as if they were at a costume party as they posed in the Rose Garden before hearing Obama's pitch for the Democratic overhaul bills moving through Congress.

The physicians, all invited guests, were told to bring their white lab coats to make sure that TV cameras captured the image.

But some docs apparently forgot, failing to meet the White House dress code by showing up in business suits or dresses.

So the White House rustled up white coats for them and handed them to the suited physicians who had taken seats in the sun-splashed lawn area.

And Gateway Pundit has found that -regardless of WH spin- this was not some ordinary cross-sample of doctors- but rather, all were supporters of the public option, and many former members of 2008's Doctors for Obama organization, conveniently re-named Doctors for America this year.

FOX News reports:

White House spokesman Reid Cherlin described the assembled physicians, from all 50 states, as the best voices for reform because they witness the current health care system on a day-to-day basis.

"These folks know better than anybody about what works and what doesn't," Cherlin told FOXNews.com, adding that the physicians come from "a variety of groups that we work with."

But the doctors in the Rose Garden were all supporters of health care reform -- and the invitation-only guest list drew heavily from Doctors for America... Roughly 98 percent of the group's 15,000 members support a public insurance option, Doctors for America spokeswoman Megan Smith told FOXNews.com.

Cherlin insisted that the doctors "were not invited based on their support for a public option."

Still the White House insisted that these doctors were not invited based on their support?

I don't know about you... but I'm sure sick of having my intelligence insulted by this crew of incompetent Alinskyite con-artists... they're not even that good at it.

"Mr. Turner- Mr Emanuel on Line 1"

How amusing it is -as noted by Van at Moonbattery- to see CNN promptly fact-checking a Saturday Night Live skit that actually dared to mock the Dear Leader. Sure don't remember this occurring while they were producing propaganda attacking Bush, Cheney, McCain... or the relentless full-court-press on Sarah Palin, which consists of at least 50% fiction. Then recall the Zogby Poll after the election indicating that millions took these SNL skits as based-in-fact.

Both Moonbattery and No Sheeples Here are on it with video and commentary today. And you just know that Turner -an early Obama supporter and lib wingnut supreme- got a call first-thing Monday morning from the rodent-like Emanuel.

And congratulations Lorne Michaels... you're on The List!

MSM Unemployment Stories 13x More Negative Under Reagan than Obama

Still more proof of appalling leftist media bias in the United States- as if any were needed.

A new study from the Business and Media Institute finds 91% of news stories re. unemployment in the 1980s were negative towards Ronald Reagan... while only 7% of coverage has been negative towards the Obama Administration.

The author of this study -Julia Seymore- here contrasts ABC News veteran Charles Gibson's reporting during the Reagan era with today's reprehensible cheerleading for the Obama Administration... when they faced near-identical 9+% unemployment rates (0:57):

Meanwhile, the Dem's misguided $800B Porkulus is a train-wreck, with unemployment soaring and the Dear Leader's promises in tatters. Contrast this with Ronald Reagan's creation of 20M jobs, expanding Real GDP by 30% in the process and you'll see that the liberal press didn't know what they were talking about then... any more than they do now.

'Cuda and the Raptor

Palin was right: America needs more F-22 Raptors

Typically, Obama's Alinskyite allies tried to make hay of Sarah Palin's recent remarks in Hong Kong re. the F-22 Raptor air superiority fighter. Here is what Mrs. Palin said:

"Despite the need to move men and material by air into theaters like Afghanistan, the Obama Administration sought to end production of our C-17s, the work horse of our ability to project long range power.

Despite the Air Force saying it would increase future risk, the Obama Administration successfully sought to end F-22 production – at a time when both Russia and China are acquiring large numbers of next generation fighter aircraft.

It strikes me as odd that Defense Secretary Gates is the only member of the Cabinet to be tasked with tightening his belt."

Texas-4-Palin observed that Media Matters was quick to attack Palin for her remarks, and the always-hysterical Oliver Willis claimed that she "lied" about the fighter. But did the Air Force say that ending F-22 production would increase future risk?

Yes, they did:

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz has stated that 243 F-22s is the military requirement, that 187 (current total) is a "moderate to high risk..."

The chief of the Air Force Air Combat Command, Gen. John Corley said 381 F-22s is the required number, and that ending the program at 187 is a "high risk."

T4P also noted that one of Schwartz's predecessors, Gen. Merrill McPeak (ret.) -an Obama supporter- wrote:

The future air combat capabilities we should build are based on the F-22, a stealthy, fast, maneuverable fighter that is unmatched by any known or projected combat aircraft. But the F-22’s production run may soon come to an end at just 187 planes, well short of establishing the fleet size we need. After all, it’s expensive, and getting more so as the number contemplated has been repeatedly reduced. In an argument they seem to think makes sense, critics say the aircraft has no worthy opponent—as if we want to create forces that do have peer competitors.

T4P provides further background on the fight over the Raptor -here-.

Looks like The Killa from Wasilla was right again- and as is so-often the case these days, her critics disingenuous, misguided and just plain wrong.

Yeah, the F-22 Raptor is expensive... but it sure provides a lot better jobs than Obama's pothole-filling projects ever could... adding to our technology infrastructure/base while delivering air-superiority for decades to come.

Apparently the Dear Leader didn't see the wisdom of maintaining such a high-tech defense industry in the face of Chinese and Russian advances. Israel wanted to buy dozens of these planes... but the White House has refused their orders. Why not just sell to them and other close allies, and keep our options -and factories- open?

It's surely not lost on Vladimir Putin that the USSR actually achieved military superiority on Jimmy Carter's watch, as he -like the Boy Wonder- slashed the military budget... and ten western hemisphere countries quickly fell under Soviet control.

The Russians have themselves said they are developing all sorts of new generation weaponry. Pyongyang and Tehran are now working on new ICBMs that will bring Alaska and California within range of their nuclear warheads.... while Chairman Zero cancels missile defense in-order to give "tax credits" to those have never paid taxes in their life.

Barack Obama is basically looting the Treasury, private enterprise, and the military, while running up a debt for the next three generations... all so he can lavish populist spending upon his constituency -and irreversibly expand entitlement programs- while telling the rest of us to just shut up and pay our taxes.

Thank God we've got the principled opposition of Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney -at least- calling Obama on this reckless nonsense, as he guts the greatest military the world has ever seen... in the middle of two wars and a worldwide terrorism threat.

Thanks again to our allies @ Texas-4-Palin
