Obama’s appointment of Daley — a former bank executive and Commerce secretary — was widely interpreted as an olive branch to the business community, which had been vocal about its unhappiness with the administration and its legislative agenda. – The Hill

[T]he man who helped craft the president’s disastrous 2012 budget (not to mention the forthcoming 2013 blueprint) will now lead all White House operations. Rejoice, lefties. That says a lot about this administration’s commitment to relatively apolitical budgeting.

Somebody at the EPA decided, incorrectly, that the Sacketts’ private property was actually a wetland, so only the federal agency could decide what, if anything, would ever be done on the lot.

The “death to America and Israel” Muslims see America as weak and ineffective. They taste the blood of the Jews. In a world of nuclear armed terrorist states Obama uses reset buttons and “harsh words” when confronted with threats to America and its allies.

“The enemy sees weakness…” “One thing that troubles me is the fact that Mahmoud Ahmajinedad next week will be traveling to Latin America and coming up through Central America. We know that there are some concerns about Iran establishing missile bases in Venezuela. We’re on the crux of having what could be a twenty first century Cuban missile crisis that could threaten us right down here in south Florida.”
