Riding Coattails

Hillary Clinton is still riding Bill's coattails. According to NewsMax Hillary can become the nominee for Secretary of State if Bill agrees...

  • to disclose the names of every contributor to his foundation since its inception in 1997 and all contributors going forward.
  • to refuse donations from foreign governments to the Clinton Global Initiative, his annual charitable conference.
  • to cease holding CGI meetings overseas.
  • to volunteer to step away from day-to-day management of the foundation while his wife is secretary of state.
  • to submit his speaking schedule to review by the State Department and White House counsel.
  • to submit any new sources of income to a similar ethical review.
  • and admits that his impeachment wasn't about sex and that he confesses to lying under oath to Federal Grand juries on numerous occasions and willingly surrenders to authorities.
Okay, you got me. I made that last one up. How about Hillary just confesses to killing Vince Foster over the Rose law firm billing records?

Obama as Zelig Part II

The esteemed Victor Davis Hanson of National Review agrees with my perspective, given the political circumstances, Obama shifts his political ideology like a chameleon to fit his surroundings. In this case, a centrist America, which bodes ill for the far left's agenda.

"Note that the most obvious and embarrassing explanation is taboo and blasphemous: That Obama is a masterful politician who never has had any real ideology or persona other than his own diversity story and history, youth, and charisma that together allow him to be whatever is politically expedient at the time." - Victor Davis Hanson
So is Obama intellectually lazy or just an opportunist?

Schadenfreude: The Netroots are Seething!

I'll go even further; these weenie wick'd nut jobs feel so betrayed by Obama and the Democrats that I bet they mount 2010 mid-term revolts. It's also likely that some of the more delusional among them will fire-up congressional recall petitions. Their efforts won't go anywhere, but never underestimate the comedic value of an exploding liberal who has reached crush depth.

"Good for the Democrats for ignoring these people. Allowed to exercise more influence over the party than they already do, the Netroots would have the same disastrous effect that the presidential nomination of George McGovern did in 1972." - James Kirchick, TNR

"With its congressional majority, the Democratic Party has refused to seriously try to end the war, to stop the bailout and to stop the trampling of civil liberties, just to name a few off the top of my head." - David Sirota, OpenLeft

On Sen. Joe Lieberman keeping his chairmanship, "He wasn't sanctioned. And Senate Democrats trying to make that claim are dishonestly trying to cover up the extent of their betrayal of the American people's vote for change." - Markos Moulitsas, Daily Kos
Lieberman wasn't sanctioned? Who do these cellar dwelling creeps think they are? The far left has seriously over reached and over estimated their value to the American people. The Democrats apparently understand this and have happily tossed the nutroots overboard without so much as a bub-bye. Hopefully for good (yeah, right).

"Barack Obama doesn't fear the enraged, impotent Netroots" - James Kirchick, The New Republic
I guess tax cuts do work, "Aide: Obama May Keep Bush Tax Cuts" - NewsMax

The Neverending Obama Birth Certificate Story

Why won't this story go away? If this is a trap set by liberals, it's a lousy one with little payback. Instead of playing gotcha games, if that's what this is, let's please move on. There's plenty on Obama's plate to be bothered with this nagging foolishness. Or is there something more to the story?

Why the Barack Obama Birth Certificate Issue Is Legitimate
"Does this Barack Obama birth certificate issue bug you because, although improbable, it's possible that he's not a natural born citizen, isn't eligible to be President under the Constitution, and this issue could be bigger than Watergate -- or any other "gate" in history?

... This is a legitimate issue of inquiry because Barack Obama has turned it into one. The growing number of people who demand an answer in conformance with the Constitution are doing their work; the people's watchdogs aren't." - American Thinker
Obama could make this go away but he hides behind Hawaii's Health Department seal. Despite what you may have read, no document has been made available to the public for scrutiny. Why?

Update: "Duo take Obama Birth Challenge to Court" - MSNBC
