FT.com / Columnists / Lunch with the FT - Lunch with the FT: Larry Summers: "But, instead, the Treasury went to Tim Geithner, and ever since Wall Street and Washington have been abuzz about the relationship between Summers and his former protégé – and about the balance of power between the two men and other economic heavyweights in the administration. As the Obama team has coalesced, Summers, who leads a daily economic briefing for the president, has seemed to emerge as the strategic mastermind of the administration’s macroeconomic response to the biggest crisis since the Depression."

James Rainey Vs. Jillian Reynolds - mediabistro.com: FishbowlLA: "James Rainey has decided that since Channel 11 laid off a quarter of their news staff, the news bunny/topical exhibitionist Jillian Reynolds should be skewered. She should be ripped on because she's not one of the 'good young people, with energy and dreams' who lost their jobs. She's a vacuous yammer-o-matic who still has a job. The point being?
Rainey writes: "

One could psychoanalyze the roots of her relentless exhibitionism. Reynolds has spoken before about growing up in foster care and suffering sexual abuse. She seemed to grant herself license in the Stern interview by acknowledging she is the 'same idiot goofball' she has always been.
But, girl, you're middle-aged and expecting a second child (as announced on the air this week).
You are working for a station where dedicated newspeople are soon to be out of work and suffering, mostly in silence.
Isn't it time to grow up, just a little?

"So being slutty and shallow is why she's employed and because other people are now jobless she should not do her schtick? Her gimmick should be paused because of the economy? There are so many reasons to take on mind-numbing televised pseudo-journalism but a personal attack on a personality for still having a job? Not to 'psychoanalyze' but that's just lazy. And self-righteous. And, we never thought we'd say this in the defense of Reynolds - cheap."

The Hill’s Blog Briefing Room » More spelling errors plague Obama releases: "Misspellings continued to plague the Obama administration on Thursday, after two more releases containing errors were sent to reporters in the last 24 hours.
After misspelling the president's name as 'Barak Obama' yesterday on an official document sent to reporters, the General Services Administration messed up another message when announcing it had awarded an $18 million contract to redesign the website keeping track of spent stimulus dollars.
'Recvoery.gov Version 2.0 $18 Million Contract Awarded,' the release's subject line read. ('Recovery' was spelled correctly in the body of the email.)"

Panetta Testified CIA Misled Congress, Dems Say - Political News - FOXNews.com: "WASHINGTON -- CIA Director Leon Panetta told Congress last month that senior CIA officials have concealed significant actions and misled lawmakers repeatedly since 2001, the chairman and other members of the House Intelligence Committee said in letters revealed Wednesday.
Seven Democratic members of the Intelligence Committee wrote to Panetta in late June and asked him to 'publicly correct' his May 15 statement that it is not the 'policy or practice of the agency to mislead Congress,' a copy of the letter obtained by FOX News shows."

What is going on here??? Leon Panetta and the rest of his Democratic Thuggery is bent on Bush bashing. The Democrats have had control of Congress for two years; if there was an Bush Administration problem, then Congress was the solution. Congress has not been part of any solution, instead they have been a gossip magazine and useless body of overpaid activists that cannot govern. Congress ran this country down for the last eight years and have actively blamed Bush for everything. Well, Bush is gone and if Democrats had any answers, then they have been proven to be wrong.

Wow. The end times are here.....

Byrd Blasts ‘Cap and Trade’ - News, Sports, Jobs - The Intelligencer / Wheeling News-Register: "WHEELING - He is not yet back to work in the Senate chamber, but U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd is opposing 'cap and trade' legislation pushed by the Obama administration.
The 91-year-old Byrd, D-W.Va., was released from an unidentified Washington, D.C. hospital last week after a month-long stay for a staph infection. He expects to return to the chamber before the Senate begins debate on 'cap and trade' - which is tentatively set for this fall, according to Byrd's office."

That is from a Klanner, too!

Putin praises Bush hospitality during Obama visit Reuters: "MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin praised the hospitality and openness of U.S. former President George W. Bush in a telegramme sent hours before meeting his successor Barack Obama.'During the last years we have been working on strengthening Russia-U.S. cooperation. Although there were differences between our countries, I always valued your openness and sincerity,' Putin said, congratulating Bush on his 63rd birthday on July 6.
'With special warmth I recall your hospitality in the Crawford ranch and your family estate in Kennebunkport,' Putin wrote, referring to their 2007 meeting at the Bush family vacation home when the two leaders went fishing and ate lobster."

POTUS and Gov. Palin

2009-07-05T11:58:00.003-04:00

Everyone that is freaking out about Sarah Palin and that she may be jeopardizing her chances for the Presidency of the United States thinks that it is the pinnacle of a lifetime to President. Maybe Governor Palin, like me, thinks that POTUS is not the best job in the whole world. Maybe she feels that she can do America a little more good than being President by being a successful, productive, and influential private citizen.

Congratulations Governor Palin!

I am shocked at the reaction of Republicans to the resignation of Sarah Palin as Governor of Alaska. First of all, she has left the office in the hands of a fine Republican Lt. Governor. Gov. Palin has been under assault for the last year because she stepped up to serve as a candidate for Vice President. Since that acceptance speech, she has been bled financially by unyielding nonsensical accusations in Alaska and the lower 48 states, some formal but most are disgusting character assaults and slander.

Continuing to defend herself from the Governor's office of Alaska is constraining, distracting, and limiting in resources. Gov. Palin defending herself as a private citizen allows her to confront her accusers where they are and on a battlefield of her choosing.

Also, the name recognition that has been generated for her is going to make her a very rich woman in a matter of months, rather than struggling to make ends meet as a civil servant under a magnifying glass. That is the best news out of all of this mess. The Governor can attain the resources that she needs to do the work that needs to be done to establish a firm financial foundation, her family's security, and her political future.

As a former political operative tied to a governmental structure, I felt constrained. As a private citizen that moves faster than government, I find myself more able to accomplish my goals and the political goals of our Republican party. Money is the mother’s milk of politics, if you have no money you end up doing a lot of listening and if you have a lot of money you end up doing a lot of talking. Gov. Palin has a lot of talking to do.

Governor Sarah Palin now has a wealth of doors open to her rather than being stuck in the claustrophobic closet of a governor's office with few assets. In the free enterprise market of America, private citizen can gather assets and deploy them as they wish. We are a government of individuals and not a government for government. Governor Palin is about to teach us this lesson again.

I guess most of those that are reacting negatively to the resignation enjoy the trappings of government and cannot see a future of American success beyond government. Go show them, Sarah! Show these shocked government types the power of the free market, the free press, and the power of an unshackled American!!

"In an interview with TheStreet.com, News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch is asked about Fox Business Network rival CNBC:

Question: Are you annoyed you don't own CNBC?
Murdoch: No

Question: Why not?
Murdoch: Because we're going to enjoy the competition. We have to get wider distribution and that takes time. We are further ahead with Fox Business than we were at this stage with Fox News, and Fox News today is one of our very greatest and largest assets.

Question: Why don't you hire away all the CNBC on-air people?
Murdoch: We don't think they're all that good. There are some good ones, but that'll be up to [FNC/FBN chairman] Roger Ailes. We create or we discover previously undiscovered talent and make them into stars."

This why I watch Fox because there is so much talent out there, you don't have to recycle losers and useless journalists. Business people know and feel business and Roger Ailes is amazing at finding real talent in business, politics, and showbiz. I look forward to watching FBN beat the pants off of CNBC.

HJS Blog - The Scoop - The Henry Jackson Society: "USA Today, a nation-wide newspaper in the U.S., clearly doesn’t get it. It neither understands the full meaning of Independence Day nor does it – not unlike so many of its peers – understand what it is to be an American. It seems to show only the most simplistic kindergarten understanding of big words like, “immigrant” and spends about half the article then accusing Americans of being poltroon, hypocritical knuckle-draggers."

People have willingly given their lives in honor to ensure that what happened last week in the Congress would never happen. Congress passes laws. How can you pass a law without reading it and scrutinizing it? How?

These have been the acts of despots, thugs, and cowards.

Is this the change that Obama supporters really voted for?

Government for Government

2009-06-25T11:42:00.002-04:00

It is obvious that Obama sees the importance of government to be greater than the need for individual liberty. Instead of reaching out to those looking to embrace freedom, Obama slams the door on them by keeping them inside the prison of Iran. Obama is going to wait until the riots are over and talk to the winner, who will be the one with the most bullets.

Obama does not understand history, freedom, or the power of the individual.

The Democrats railed against GW Bush for the Federal Government response to Katrina in New Orleans, when clearly it was the responsibility of Governor Kathleen Blanco and the State of Louisiana to help rescue its citizens in New Orleans. Gov Blanco failed and GW Bush had to save the citizens of New Orleans with out even a thank you.

Now Obama is leaving people to die in a greater tragedy in Iran. People are on roof tops looking and screaming for help but Obama is going to wait until the flood of government bullets silences those loud voices. Pathetic Obama. Pathetic.
