Obama junks Bush's European missile defense plan

Obama abruptly canceled a long-planned missile shield for Eastern Europe on Thursday, replacing a Bush-era project that was bitterly opposed by Russia with a plan he contended would better defend against a growing threat of Iranian missiles. The United States will no longer seek to erect a missile base and radar site in Poland and the Czech Republic, poised at Russia's hemline. That change is bound to please the Russians, but Europe is not the issue. The issue is keeping a larger missile defense system; one that can pre-empt missiles headed for our Eastern Seaboard, and also give advance warning. It's also about keeping trust with our allies who have been faithful.
Some reporters in the media have apparently not got it. The missile shield was NOT for Eastern Europe it WAS FOR the USA. It was to counter a, possibly near, future attack by Iranian ICBM's on the USA. The trajectory for ICBM's from Iran and heading for the USA would pass over Eastern Europe.
Is it coincidence that Russia announced that it would meet with General Electric (MSNBC) shortly there after? This man is selling us out. Started with Clinton selling out to China, now Zero with Russia.

Serena Williams has no one to blame but herself.

This was just another case of a high-paid athlete being a freaking baby!
Serena Williams went absolutely ballistic on the line judge after said judge called a foot foul on her. Mr(s). Williams, a handsome woman, proceeded to tell the line judge that she was going to slam the ball down the judge's 'fucking throat'. She even swore to God that such an action was soon to occur.

The line judge then quasi-sprinted to the chair judge, they met, Serana bitched, and she lost a point for unsportsmanlike conduct. The point was match point, match over, begin the gnashing of teeth.

Now, Serena's actions on court were wrong, obviously, but it's her press conference that really annoyed me.

First, she said she didn't threaten the line judge. Well, where I come from, saying that one is going to stuff ones ball down another one's throat...at least, when holding a tennis ball...has never been considered a playful line. Especially when it's said by a screaming, angry, horse tranquilizer-filled (speculation/opinion/whatever) athlete.

And PLEASE don't tell me that McEnroe was the same way, we are NOT talking about McEnroe, and we can't blame George Bush for this one either!
Second, she stated during her press conference that the line judge was mistaken to think she was being threatened because Mrs. Williams had never been in a fight during her life. Accepting this as true, that's one of the more ridiculous things said by an athlete this side of Terrelle Pryor's "everyone kills people" statement. How in the world is this line judge supposed to know that Mrs. Williams has never been in a fight? Is that sort of stuff included in tennis player's bios? Are we all supposed to be aware of the ins and outs of her life off the court? Her statement is world class stupid.

Plus, do you have any doubt that Serena Williams has been in a fight before? Look at her. She could be the Worlds Champion Women Wrestler.

The Leftist media Questions The Size of the Tea Party

A fierce numbers battle has erupted in the aftermath of Saturday's Capitol Hill rally by "tea party" conservatives that is not over the growth of government, the budget deficit or even the $1 trillion cost of President Obama's health care plan, but about the size of the crowd. Most news organizations reported that the boisterous, anti-big-government rally at the West Front of the Capitol drew "tens of thousands" of demonstrators from across the country.

O'Reilly has been kissing up to the Marxists with great frequency of late, I believe, in a transparent ploy to gain access. His saving grace is that Laura Ingraham is a frequent guest. Rush had the best idea - next time hold the rallies outside major media outlets so they can't ignore the story.
Whatever the number, the crowd was unexpectedly H-U-G-E and all the piddling size estimates emanating from MSM 'news' sources just verifies and confirms their left-leaning political agendas.
Same old. Same old.

Obama, and Kanye West

Call it another case of being too fast on the Twitter. The perils of dashing off observations on the microblogging site were brought into sharp relief Monday when several overeager ABC News employees -- including "Nightline" anchor Terry Moran -- rushed to tweet that President Obama had called Kanye West a “jackass” for interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Everything Obama does is staged. The media are willing accomplices. Obammy just happens to let something slip with a convenient mike nearby. And surprise, surprise! He's criticizing a black man about a white woman. Can you say, My ratings are sagging because of the Gates affair, and here's a way to win back some white votes? What a liar! Hey black voters, how does it feel under the bus there?

Joe Wilson Disrespectful? It all depends on where you are sitting.

At least he had the guts to do what others wanted to do but didn’t. The left seems to forget the booing it did in 2005 during the state of the union address. Were there any sanctions for that? They were disrespectful first now, they complain because someone else was disrespectful to their guy. Why is that they always go first? In 2000, they went to the courts first and then complained when others followed suit. During this health-care debate, they went to the fear pull-pit first–its urgent, critical, etc–then turn around and complain when groups point out their own draconian intent. It is unbelievable sometimes. As you stated so well, “It’s a lot easier to attack a rude Republican than to defend the details a complicated overhaul of our nation’s health care system.
I think that the Obamacrats seem to welcome the distraction, and the ability to have a two-minutes hate against Joe Wilson, rather than having to talk about their terrible bill.

Okay, he doesn't lie. He just doesn't tell the truth. Is that better?

OK,here's the thing. What Obama says may be technically correct at the time he says it,but it's deceptive because there's either another plan down the road to over ride it or he knows the actual law won't play out as he states.Saying you can keep your doctor assumes the doctor won't quit if this plan goes through.You can keep your current plan..If you can afford the skyrocketing costs,that is.The plan won't cover illegals but don't worry,he'll legaize them at some point. The plan won't cover abortions but the money for them will come from a weird savings account set aside by the insured.This is not government run insurance but hey someone has to step in after insurance conpanies are out of business.It won't increase the deficit because the public option will increase premiums at will and you'll pay a fat fine either way.
