“This guy is a disaster” proclaimed a disillusioned Obama supporter Tuesday evening at James Hoban’s Irish Pub. That assertion came not from a Neanderthal racist who had just crawled out of a primordial tar pit …nor even a moderate Republican. Those were the words of a life–long lefty who, two years ago, had campaigned with missionary zeal for Barack Obama. Only one faint voice at the bar took uninspired exception.

EDITOR’S CHOICE: John Cloud in TIME August 31 writes “One of the most contentious issues in the vast literature about alcohol consumption has been the consistent finding that those who don't drink actually tend to die sooner than those who do. abstaining from alcohol does actually tend to increase one's risk of dying even when you exclude former drinkers. The most shocking part? Abstainers' mortality rates are higher than those of heavy drinkers."

Rally at the National Mall/ Washingrton Times

Observations from a participant in Saturday’s "Restoring Honor"rally at the National Mall (or Reflections from beside the Reflecting Pool): “At no time was president Obama nor his policies mentioned during the proceedings.  The entire affair was about as apolitical as a gathering can get.  True, most wore shirts which said something about congress and their propensity to ignore the will of the people, but nothing vocal nor hateful…a good portion were my age, around 60, so they probably remember Woodstock.”

For years, the walkway to the front entrance of Planned Parenthood’s family planning and abortion services facility at 1108 16^th Street, NW was open to the circulating knots of pro-life sidewalk counselors, “prayer warriors” and pamphleteers—and, of course, customers—that gathered there Saturday mornings to encourage abortion-minded women to reconsider their choice.

EDITOR’S CHOICE: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. in The American Spectator  08.19.10,  writes “It is becoming apparent for all to see, that a man who made his name as a community organizer does not have the skills to be President of these United States. Maybe he could develop the requisite skills as a governor. Possibly, he could develop such skills were he to sit in the Senate for a couple of terms. Yet there are delicate sensitivities, the ability to listen, to stick by your guns, occasionally to remain reticent. These are the fundamentals of a leader, and President Barack Obama has demonstrated that he lacks all of them, most notably reticence. I now think it is clear even to Official Washington that President Obama is the worst president of modern times. President Jimmy Carter is redeemed.”

USS Liberty after Israeli attack, June 8 1967. 34 US Sailors killed, 172 Injured

EDITOR’S CHOICE: Philip Giraldi  writes in the August 23 issue of The American Conservative. “ Israeli government claims that it does not spy on the United States are intended for the media and popular consumption. The reality is that Israel’s intelligence agencies target the United States intensively, particularly in pursuit of military and dual-use civilian technology. Among nations considered to be friendly to Washington, Israel leads all others in its active espionage directed against American companies and the Defense Department.”

SNAPSHOT: THE YEAR IS 1910.  This will boggle your mind, I know it did OURS! One hundred years ago. What a difference a century makes!

EDITOR’S CHOICE: Obama’s America is a walking disaster. This man was elected with among the highest approval ratings in history. Less than two years later, he has bankrupted the nation, mortgaged the future of our children to China, nationalized half of the economy, destroyed small business, increased unemployment by 10 percent and apologized to the entire world in the process. He apparently has no clue of what he is doing because he lacks the experience and gravitas to be president. Of course lefties blame Bush and racism, but that is nonsense. And it is a catastrophe in the making. Where is the next Ronald Reagan?

Below are ten reasons why Obama is not up to the job

BP Officials say the Deepwater Horizon well is close to being permanently capped. When this actually happens it will be despite the counterproductive roles played in the spill crisis by a plodding federal government and the Obama administration. Cleanup efforts all along the way were stymied by bureaucratic turf battles, organizational infighting, unnecessary federal permitting delays, and massive paper work. Operations had to be coordinated through five layers of approval and command before responders could be dispatched to the scene.
