The National Conversation (Raw)

Snap, Crackle, Pop!

Welcome to the fray Mr. President! Dick Cheney now has company. Gosh, are we having fun yet? - Washington Times

"If our prediction is correct, Solar Cycle 24 will have a peak sunspot number of 90, the lowest of any cycle since 1928 when Solar Cycle 16 peaked at 78," says panel chairman Doug Biesecker of the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center. -NASA@Science

Uhhh. what does that mean? Global Cooling?

Dude!!!!

What can we do to fix it?

Out Of Touch?

"As President Obama prepares to wing into Manhattan’s theater district on Air Force One to take in a Broadway show, GM is preparing to file bankruptcy and families across America continue to struggle to pay their bills. ... -RNC

Hey! "You ain't seen nothing yet!"

Empathy

"Justice Department political appointees overruled career lawyers and ended a civil complaint accusing three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense of wielding a nightstick and intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place last Election Day, according to documents and interviews." 

"A Justice Department spokesman on Thursday confirmed that the agency had dropped the case, dismissing two of the men from the lawsuit with no penalty and winning an order against the third man that simply prohibits him from bringing a weapon to a polling place in future elections."-Excerpts Washington Times

Now, use your imaginations for a moment. Let's say it's 1960 and instead of the Black Panthers, let's make the club-wielding thugs Klan members. What do you think? Voter intimidation? Naaah. This is just a case of empathy in action. Welcome to the Obama Justice Department, where reverse-racism is righting past wrongs.

Ha ha ha!

"It may appear odd to describe a secretary of State as marginalized, but Obama has surrounded Hillary with his people and carved up her jurisdiction geographically. Former Sen. George Mitchell (D-Maine) is in charge of Arab-Israeli relations. Dennis Ross has Iran. Former U.N. Ambassador Dick Holbrooke has Pakistan and Afghanistan. And Hillary has to share her foreign policy role on the National Security Council (NSC) with Vice President Biden, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, CIA chief Leon Panetta, and NSC staffer Samantha Powers (who once called Hillary a “monster”)." -Dick Morris

Meanwhile, Bill Clinton has been asked to be a special envoy to Haiti!

Haiti?

Yep. I'd pretty much say and that is that! See ya Hill & Bill! You're done. Gosh, I guess Obama was good for something!

Celebrity-in-Chief at Burger Joint

Here's gravitas for ya. The Commander-in-Chief (a former senator) working the crowd at a burger joint meets a few of his employees and doesn't even know about the agency within the U.S. Department of Defense that they work for. Gee, I feel so safe! Politico has the story.

Don't Forget!

  Please join me for the National Conversation this Saturday from 1:00 to 3:00pm central time and on Sunday evening from 5:00 to 8:00pm on News Radio 620 WTMJ.

Is She Racist?

Need a laugh?

This is a blast from the past but it reminded me of the kind of week that Derek and others have had on the National Conversation.

Leave Obama Alone! Warning Language!

American capitalism gone with a whimper

"It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people." -Pravda

This opinion piece printed in Pravda is humiliating. Even the Russians are laughing at us! No, actually they pity us. They have been where we are going. This is an article that should even give Derek pause. It won't, but it should.
