WHERE THE CHEVY VOLT BATTERIES WENT ...
OBAMA TO ISRAEL: "MY ELECTION TAKES PRIORITY"
Now that the late radical racist law school professor Derrick Bell's name has become widely known because of the release of video obtained by the late Andrew Breitbart ... video in which Barack Obama effusively praised him ... the Heritage Foundation dug into the White House visitor’s logs. They found those logs show that Derrick A. Bell visited the White House twice after President Obama took office.
Barry Soetoro just can't break his ties to his old radical-crazy buddies.

Warren Buffett is Obama's rich-guy shill who wants us all to pay more taxes, but he seems reluctant to pay up what's owed by NetJets, the business jet leasing operation owned by his Berkshire Hathaway company. He sued the government, charging that the IRS was overcharging NetJets. Now, the IRS is counter-suing for $366 million.
Mr. Buffett seems to be of the "Do as I say, not as I do" school of thought.

When Richard Nixon ran (successfully) for his second term, some Congressional Republicans complained that the Nixon people were interested only in his run and were scooping up all the political contributions.
Some Democrats now have the same complaint about Obama. Seems when it comes to campaign cash, he also has a case of the screaming "me-me's."

Interesting list of winners of the raffle of the "Dinner With Barack" by making a five-dollar contribution to his campaign fund. One is a retired school administrator, another a former social worker and the third works for a non-profit organization of some sort. Nobody from the world of free enterprise.

Several major news sources report that Obama promised Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that he'd provide military aid to Israel for an attack on Iran IF they'd postpone action until after our November election.
Consider the implications of such an offer. He sees an Israeli attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities as a threat to his re-election process. Thus, he is willing to ask that small nation risk its very existence for his political benefit.
What else does a person need to know about the character of Barack Obama?

Reader Pat offers this pertinent observation ...
Has anyone besides the Israelis figured out that Iran is playing rope-a-dope with Obama? You must remember when Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali played rope-a-dope.
Someday the Iranian mullahs are going to quit playing rope-a-dope. They will have the bomb, and the rest of us will be dopes.

Survey says (Gallup) ... 50% of American adults think Obama has been a failure as president.

The Daily Caller reports that the U.S. Air Force is pulling nine cargo aircraft from military operations to support President Barrack Obama’s stepped-up visits to campaign events. The five C-130s and four heavyweight C-17s will be used to ferry security vehicles, armored limousines and communications gear into cities ahead of Obama’s campaign appearances.
In short, your tax dollars will be paying an even larger share of Obama's campaign expenses, while our already-shrunken military will be deprived of equipment.

The sheer lack of basic business smarts by the Obamunists continues to amaze. Government Motors, already a monument to that ignorance, has now invested more than $400 million in the stock of the French auto company, Puegeot Citroen -- which just came off a 2011 during which it lost $123 million. But, hey! -- the newly-invested $400 million is only taxpayer money, so who cares?!

John Podhoretz (NY Post) looks ahead to the real race ...
"For Republicans mired in despair and Democrats awash in joyous disbelief, a note of comfort to one and warning to the other: There will come a time when the 2012 election will cease to revolve around the GOP nominating process and begin to focus on the accomplishments — or lack thereof — of the incumbent president.
"The Republican Party has not conducted itself well over the past few months, to put it mildly. And the conservative movement has been far too easily diverted into unserious nonsense and pointless controversies.
"One virtue of the contraception lunacy, for example, is that since it happened now, it’s going to be old news later.
"A re-election will be a validation of Barack Obama’s first term. That is, ultimately, what voters will have to decide they want to do. And he hasn’t made the sale — not remotely."

Tuesday's Alabama Republican primary looks unlikely to bring any resolution to the race. The top three contenders, Mitt, Newt and Rick, are thisclosetogether in the Rasmussen poll.

Rick Santorum's "we're jes' po' folks" act is brought into question by the Washington Examiner's revelation of how he came to own (via a trust that hid his identity) a $2,000,000 mansion in a Virginia suburb. The financing revealed nothing illegal, per se, but the kind of sweetheart deal rarely found beyond the boundaries of political insiders.

Dennis (the Menace) Kucinich lost his primary race in Ohio, so he's coming to the end of his career in Congress. That career spanned sixteen years. And what did the little darling of the left actually accomplish in all that time? Alex Koppelman summarizes in The New Yorker ...
"A bill 'to make available to the Ukranian Museum and Archives the USIA television program 'Window on America,’ a bill 'to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 14500 Lorain Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio as the ‘John P. Gallagher Post Office Building' and a bill 'proclaiming Casimir Pulaski to be an honorary citizen of the United States posthumously.'”
In the past two years, he's gotten one more bill passed. It named another post-office building in Cleveland.
I tell you, the dude was a real mover-and-shaker!

Just so you aren't misled by liberal gloating over dead air or missing commercials on Rush Limbaugh's internet feed ... a dose of radio reality:
Except for sponsors who buy the entire national feed of a syndicated program, there are ALWAYS "holes" in the feed, usually filled with public service announcements or promotional announcements.
My own programs were fed to/thru the internet, but union rules (AFTRA) prohibited the placement of the commercials on the internet unless they were specifically bought for that purpose and appropriate fees paid to the on-air talent or the people who recorded them.
This is also the time when local stations can insert their own commercials.
Liberals, as usual, don't know what they're talking about.

Oprah Winfrey thought putting her pal Rosie O'Donnell on her failing cable TV network would save it. Not working. Miserable ratings, and word out of Chicago is that the two aren't such good friends anymore.

Crime news ...
From Sweden comes word of an inept bandit who robbed a woman on the street ... was pursued by witnesses ... and, in his rush to escape, didn't notice the sign above the door of the building he ran into. The sign said ... "Police Department".
