You could have all three of these things happen...

Foxnews Special Report

Krauthammer: "2010 will be the year of Iran, only 3 outcomes are possible, a. There's gonna be an Israeli strike. b. There's gonna be a revolution which will inten-u-something the nuclear issue. c. The Iranian regime will either aquire or come up to the threshold of becoming a nuclear power, each of them is a scary eventually, our hope is a revolution but it's not at all probable...

Kondrace: "Unemployment on election day 2010: 8.6%, still very high"
We would still have to create alot of jobs for 8.6% unemployment


Since we're on the subject of Iran and it close to New Year's, he is a video of Barack Obama in March wishing the people and the leaders of Iran a "Norouz"..A Happy New Year to the Islamic Republic...(How many have forgotten about this?)

Notice the last words from Obama are either in Arabic or Farsi, I'm not sure, but I know I don't like it...

President Says "Brighter Days Are Ahead of Us" After The Worst First Year of Any President in History

Posted today...

Good to see he has time in between golf games, working out and snorkeling

whitehouse.gov/blog

Good evening. Tonight, as Americans across the country gather with family and friends, I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year.

This is always a hopeful time, as we celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another. And while 2009 was difficult for many Americans, we must also look back on this year with the knowledge that brighter days are ahead of us – that although our challenges are great, each of us has the courage and determination to rise up and meet them.

It is that spirit that has kept the American Dream alive for generations, and it is that spirit that will keep it alive for generations to come. Happy New Year, everyone.

Federal Judge Dismisses All Charges in Blackwater Shooting

Justice Dept. 'disappointed' by the decision..

We'll probably see a collective yawn from the lib media on this one...

washingtonpost.com

A federal judge on Thursday threw out charges against five Blackwater Worldwide security guards accused of killing 14 people in a 2007 shooting in downtown Baghdad.
In a 90-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Ricardo M. Urbina ruled that the government violated the guards' rights by using their immunized statements to help the investigation. The ruling comes after a lengthy set of hearings that examined whether federal prosecutors and agents improperly used such statements that the guards gave to State Department investigators following the shooting on Sept. 16, 2007."

The explanations offered by prosecutors and investigators in an attempt to justify their actions and persuade the court that they did not use the defendants' compelled testimony were all too often contradictory, unbelievable and lacking in credibility," Urbina wrote. Dean Boyd, a spokesman for the Justice Department, said, "We're obviously disappointed by the decision. We're still in the process of reviewing the opinion and considering our options."

Blackwater, which has since renamed itself Xe, had a contract to provide security for the State Department in Iraq.

Senator John Ensign Goes On CNN To Talk About Terrorism, Gets Ambushed By Rick Sanchez on Sex Scandal

Sanchez asks 7 times after Ensign says he's not going to talk about the situation

Would low-life Rick Sanchez ever ambush a Democrat like this?

Let me remind everyone about a story in 1990 of Rick DUI Leaving the scene Sanchez:

On December 10, 1990, Sanchez struck a pedestrian, Jeffrey Smuzinick, with his car on a residential street near Dolphin Stadium after Smuzinick darted into the road. Smuzinick was paralyzed and eventually died in an assisted living facility in 1995. Sanchez, who had just left an NFL football game with his father (and left the scene of the accident), was not charged with causing the accident, but was charged with and pleaded no contest to DUI.

"We Will Not Rest Until We Find Those Involved"-President Goes To See Movie "Avatar"

Snorkler in chief takes in a movie, he and the family have entire theater reserved just for themselves..

The only way we'll hear from the President is if Dick Cheney makes another statement...

honoluluadvertiser

President Obama and his family are at Windward Mall this morning for a private viewing of the film "Avatar." A media pool report from Peter Baker of the New York Times said the first family left their vacation compound in Kailua shortly after 9.

The special screening of the digital 3-D version of "Avatar" was arranged before the first regular showing to minimize disruption for other moviegoers. One of the mall's nine theaters was reserved for the first family, but the rest are open to the public. Some stores are open, including Borders, where the media pool is waiting. Baker says other stores are closed and foot traffic is light

Newt Gingrich On U.S. Security: "The Entire Administration Approach Is Fundamentally Wrong"

Gingrich on Foxnews

video from breitbart.tv

Gingrich: "The entire Administration approach is fundamentally wrong..I think we have to be honest about our enemies and frankly we have to profile based on behavior...We need to become much tougher and much more direct about who we're going after, the idea that we're gonna harrase 85 year old grandmothers at Airports because we are not willing to identify who the enemy is, is utterly absurd and in the long run is counterproductive"

White House Visitors Log: ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis In Obama Residence Week Before Undercover Sting Videos

ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis...

biggovernment.com

This afternoon, on arguably one of the slower news day of the year, the Obama White House released another document dump of “visitor records.” According to the White House, today’s batch total more than 25,000 records, covering meetings between September 16-September 30th.

According to the visitor logs, on September 2nd Bertha E. Lewis made an appointment on to visit the White House on September 5th at 12:30. (We usually need to plan further ahead to get our hair cut.) On the evening of the 4th, that appointment was cancelled so Bertha could move her appointment earlier, to 10am.

And it doesn’t seem to have actually been a work visit, as her appointment indicates she was visiting the Residence within the White House. Also, September 5th was a Saturday. Nice. In addition, the record notes that she was to receive a STAFF TOUR, which are different-and more special-than the regular Group Tours available to others.

Ms. Lewis doesn’t seem to have returned to the White House after this visit. Of course, just 5 days after this visit, James O’Keefe would release the first video of his undercover journalism on the systemic corruption within ACORN.

This is actually a promise kept, Obama in 2007 told ACORN and other community agitators that they would be invited into the White House to shape the agenda

Taliban Claim Blast Killing Americans at CIA Base

The Obama Adm. calls this an Overseas Contingency Operation...

Associated Press
KABUL – The Taliban claimed responsibility Thursday for infiltrating a CIA base with a suicide bomber who got into a gym and set off an explosion that killed eight Americans and an Afghan. CIA employees were believed to be among the victims. Wednesday's assault on U.S. Forward Operating Base Chapman at the edge of Khost city in eastern Afghanistan was a blow to the CIA, which had previously lost only four operatives in this country since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

It came on a bloody day for NATO forces. A roadside bombing, also claimed by the Taliban, killed four Canadian troops and a Canadian journalist in southern Afghanistan. Elsewhere, police said militants beheaded six Afghans on Thursday for cooperating with government authorities.
Also Thursday, the United Nations said a preliminary investigation showed that a raid last weekend by foreign troops in a tense eastern Afghan province killed eight students. The attack sparked protests by Afghans against foreign troops.

Rasmussen: 29% Say America is on the Right Track, 67% Wrong Track

67% say America is on the wrong track, the highest of the Obama Presidency


rasmussenreports.com

For the second straight week, only 29% of U.S. voters say the country is heading in the right direction, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Last week’s right direction finding was the lowest level measured since February.

The percentage of voters who felt the country is heading in the right direction remained in the narrow range of 31% to 35% from July to early November. From late November until mid-December, confidence in the country’s current course held steady at 30%.

The majority of voters (67%) continue to believe the nation is heading down the wrong track, the highest level found in 2009. However, in the weeks just prior to Barack Obama's election, more than 80% of voters felt that way.

Obama Approval Index at -18


Obama started his Presidency at +28, a loss of 46 points

Joan Walsh: Republicans Who Undermine the President are "Un-American, Traitorous and Give Aid and Comfort to the Enemy"

The classy Joan Walsh of Salon.com on Screwball with Chris Matthews

I guess she has forgotten about the last 8 years...

Walsh: "The climate right now is that Republicans use everything they can to undermine and deligitimize this President, and it's actually unamerican, it's traitorous in my opinion, do you want to give aid and comfort to our enemies? Continue to treat this President like he wasn't elected and doesn't know what he's doing...To talk about him like he's some socialist out to lunch is just outrageous"

Here's a tweet I kept from November 17th from this detestable woman, during the debate in the House on health care, Bart Stupak was a guest on Hardball, she tweeted:

It takes Just a Few Hours...White House Responds To Dick Cheney on the White House Blog

The WH is no different than MSNBC, on one hand they say that what Dick Cheney says doesn't matter, no one should listen to him, then Cheney makes a statement or gives a speech and they hang on every word...As I'm posting this, Chris Matthews is foaming at the mouth at the statement of Dick Cheney

politico.com

THE BLAME GAME: White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer responds to Dick Cheney's criticism of President Obama, saying that the former vice president is "more focused on criticizing the Administration than condemning the attackers."

"To put it simply: this President is not interested in bellicose rhetoric, he is focused on action," Pfeiffer wrote on the White House blog. "Seven years of bellicose rhetoric failed to reduce the threat from al Qaeda and succeeded in dividing this country. And it seems strangely off-key now, at a time when our country is under attack, for the architect of those policies to be attacking the President."

Cheney had told POLITICO that Obama was "trying to pretend we are not at war." Pfeiffer called the claim "clearly untrue."

"President Obama doesn’t need to beat his chest to prove it, and – unlike the last Administration – we are not at war with a tactic (“terrorism”)," he wrote, adding that the United States is "at war with something that is tangible: al Qaeda and its violent extremist allies. And we will prosecute that war as long as the American people are endangered."

The White House is actually showing it's hand here, with this rapid response to Dick Cheney that only took a few hours, it also shows that Dick Cheney has the power to offend them...


This is who the White House sees as the real enemy...

Dick Cheney: Barack Obama 'Trying To Pretend We Are Not At War'

politico.com

Former Vice President Dick Cheney accused President Barack Obama on Tuesday of “trying to pretend we are not at war” with terrorists, pointing to the White House response to the attempted sky bombing as reflecting a pattern that includes banishing the term “war on terror” and attempting to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center.

“[W]e are at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe,” Cheney said in a statement to POLITICO. “Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war? It doesn’t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office. It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency – social transformation—the restructuring of American society.”

Cheney was joining a chorus of Republicans who have criticized Obama following the Christmas Day attack, in which a Nigerian suspect is accused of trying to blow up a loaded airliner with a bomb stitched into his underwear. Read more:

Hiilary Clinton Edges Out Palin as Most Admired Woman

All the bad stuff is forgotten about Hillary, like the 90s never happened...


gallup.com

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues her reign as the Most Admired Woman in the eyes of Americans, but barely edges out former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin this year, 16% to 15%. Talk show host Oprah Winfrey and first lady Michelle Obama finish third and fourth, with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Queen Elizabeth II, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and poet Maya Angelou -- all regulars on the list -- joined by newcomers German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Elin Woods in the top 10.

By the way, where's Hillary in all this? She's not in Hawaii with Obama and she's not on any of the Sunday shows, she's missing just like the Rose Law Firm billing records....They could have put her out along with Robert Gibbs and the well spoken Janet Napolitano....

Compare how many times you've seen Hillary to how many times you saw Condi Rice, it's not even close....Here's a possibility: Democrats get a mid-term wipeout in 2010, Hillary gives Obama a primary challenge in 2012

Hanauma Bay on the Island of Oahu....Closed to the public on tuesdays, Open to the Obama's for a Picnic and Snorkeling....How about that skin in the game?
[click photo to enlarge] (it's huge)...

starbulletin.com

President Barack Obama and his family spent a few hours at Hanauma Bay on a day that the popular destination sight is closed to the public.

The president's motorcade drove him to the nature preserve early this afternoon after he delivered a statement about the "systemic failure" that allowed an attempted Christmas Day attack on a Detroit-bound flight from Amsterdam.

The first family and some friends had a picnic and snorkeled at one of Oahu's top visitor destinations.

Hanauma Bay is closed to the public on Tuesdays to allow the coral reef to recover from intense visitor use during the rest of the week. So the Obama entourage had the beach to themselves.

Krauthammer: President Looks Cool, Detached and Unconcerned

Napolitano's "system worked" is the new "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job"

Krauthammer: [Napolitano] this will be how we remember her, the person who said 2 days after an attack that almost killed 300 Americans -'that the system worked'

Krauthammer: "The President also it's his reaction, the reason he showed up again today is because yesterday, he looks cool, detached and unconcerned, he shows up without a tie and then he says in his statement 'we will not rest until we find those involved' and then he hops into a golf cart and continues his games, you know this is serious stuff, you have to demonstrate seriousness, the fact that he continually avoids speaking of the nature of the enemy which is jihadism is the sign of him not willing to acknowledge what every American understands is reality"

Chris Matthews: Alot of the Tea Party Movement Is About Race

Matthews sounds like he's gonna blame a win for the GOP in the next election on anger..Kinda like Peter Jennings after the 1994 wipe-out, 'called it a temper tantrum from angry white males...

Matthews: "But alot of it has to do with race, almost all of the people at the tea bag parties are white, there's alot of this sort of birther crap that's been thrown into it, Barack Obama is an American, he's one of us and anybody that's got a problem with has got a problem with America....Even the dullest candidate like Chris Christie is gonna get those angry people voting for him"..

Good one Chris...Now Matthews has a problem with angry Americans going out to vote, where was he when all the anger was directed at George W. Bush?...What a joke this man it...

Ben Nelson Trailing Republican by 31 Points In New Rasmussen Poll

Toast....




rasmussenreports.com

The good news for Senator Ben Nelson is that he doesn’t have to face Nebraska voters until 2012. If Governor Dave Heineman challenges Nelson for the Senate job, a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows the Republican would get 61% of the vote while Nelson would get just 30%. Nelson was reelected to a second Senate term in 2006 with 64% of the vote. Nelson's health care vote is clearly dragging his numbers down.

Just 17% of Nebraska voters approve of the deal their senator made on Medicaid in exchange for his vote in support of the plan. Overall, 64% oppose the health care legislation, including 53% who are Strongly Opposed. In Nebraska, opposition is even stronger than it is nationally Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters in the state believe that passage of the legislation will hurt the quality of care, and 62% say it will raise costs.
