It was bound to happen. Veterans of military service in Iraq and Afghanistan are organizing a media attack on Obama's self-aggrandizing campaign claiming credit for bin Laden's whacking. A year ago, Obama denounced the very political tactics (re bin Laden) that he's now using. Maybe he doesn't believe the polls that have him winning, when every aspect of his performance as president is viewed negatively and the "country headed in wrong direction" polls continue to multiply. All of which would seem to make the likelihood of his re-election ... counter-intuitive. He's another Jimmy Carter, ready to topple if Romney pushes hard enough.

Obama's new campaign slogan, "Forward," is only missing Mao Tse Tung's prefix, "Great Leap" which motivated the Chinese to kill educated people and even led to children turning in their parents if they said an unkind word about Chairman Mao.
In fact, the idea for "Forward" as a political device has a considerable history. It was also used by the "Hitler Youth" movement and Lenin's communist revolution. It seems the dumb beasts who make up the rank-and-file of such atrocities never bother to ask, "Forward to what?"

Russia's top general says their military will launch pre-emptive attacks on U.S.-built NATO missile defense sites in Eastern Europe if they don't get their way.
Yes, Barack. The "Reset" and the other suck-up tactics really work with those Russian thugs, don't they?
Clearly, the Russian and Chinese leaders have figured out that Obama is a pushover. His behavior resembles that of the punk who tells the bully, "I'm drawing a line right here. Don't you dare cross it."
The bully boldly crosses it and asks, "So what're you gonna do now?"
"Well, I'll draw another line back here."
Etc., Etc.

Wes Pruden of the Washington Times summarizes the performance of the U.S. government in the case of the blind Chinese man, Chen Guangcheng, forced to leave the U.S. embassy and left to the tender mercies of the Chinese government ...
"The U.S. State Department says it did nothing to force Mr. Chen to leave the embassy, which is something the Chinese government devoutly wanted. But the State Department is stuck with the reputation for weakness, vacillation, hesitation, mendacity and shilly-shallying it has earned over the years, so most of us take the account of friends of Mr. Chen as the straighter goods."

Consider it: Everyone knows that the greatest threat to this nation is Islamic militancy. Yet the Obama administration demands that our military schools purge their curricula of anything that might speak ill of that fanaticism. Clearly Obama meant it when he wrote, "I will stand with the Muslims."

I note that a New York Times spokesparrot for Obamunism refers to Arizona's law that attempts to compensate for the federal government's unwillingness to enforce its own immigration rules as "mean-spirited."
Since I live about a half-hour from the Arizona border with Mexico, I would like to invite this dumb sow down for a visit and educate her about the criminal depredations that take place along the border every day. The shooting at Border Patrol and other law enforcement personnel ... the killing of ranch livestock ... the carnage committed against the environment ... forest fires ... the car theft and other crimes. All of which seems to have escaped the notice of the dummy at the Times.
Sorry if that seems mean-spirited to you -- you stupid (expletive).

The fiery Ann Coulter takes on the lunacy that IS our immigration policy ...
"Our official policy is to turn away scientists in order to make room for illiterate Pakistani peasants who will drop out of high school to man coffee carts until deciding to plot a terrorist attack against the United States. That's this week's immigration poster boy, Najibullah Zazi.
"Zazi's own step-uncle said of him: 'He was a dumb kid, believe me.' Our immigration officials said, WELCOME, ZAZI!... Oops, sorry Swedish scientists and nuclear engineers -- no room for you. In February, Zazi pleaded guilty in a plot to bomb the New York City subway.
"One of his co-conspirators, Zarein Ahmedzay, was welcomed from Afghanistan to America because he was willing to do a job no American would: drive a cab. Where are you going to find an American with a driver's license?"
"Democrats look at immigration as a way to increase their voter rolls, and Republicans look at immigration as a way to get cheap labor for big business. Any Americans who disagree with our all-Third World immigration flow are called 'racists.'"

How can Obama make any legal commitment to extend billions of prolonged financial support to the Karzai Korruption Kabal in Afghanistan without the approval of Congress, which is supposed to approve any such treaty?
Of course, the counter-argument is that our cowardly Congress has abdicated its responsibility for declaring wars, and left it to the courts to make decisions on issues which the spineless twits in both the House and Senate studiously evade.

Victor Davis Hanson neatly summarizes the dubious accomplishments of the Klown Kollege Kabinet Obama has assembled ...
"Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has overseen some $5 trillion in new debt. To help pay for it, he wants the rich -- the top 1 percent already contributes more in income taxes than does the bottom 90 percent -- to pay more for what he calls 'the privilege of being an American.'
"Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar has pulled off the near impossible: At a time when the known gas and oil reserves of the United States on public lands have soared, he has cut back on federal leasing of them to just about 2 percent of available offshore lands and 6 percent of onshore.
"Then there is the even stranger case of Energy Secretary Steven Chu, whose department helped oversee millions in bad loans to green companies like Solyndra, First Solar and Solar Trust of America.
"Attorney General Eric Holder dropped charges against the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation. That may explain why he said nothing when the same group put out a dead-or-alive bounty poster on George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin shooting case. Holder's department is suing the state of Arizona for passing a law to enforce the largely unenforced federal immigration law. Holder suggested that the Arizona law was racially inspired even as he admitted that he had never read it."
The frightening thing is that there are millions of dunces in this country who want this out-of-control regime to continue for another four years. Should that be the case, I will take it as the conclusive answer to my view that this nation may just be too stupid to survive. If such should occur, I'd suggest a final group chant: "Ancient Rome, here we come!"

One can only wonder if a week of bungling, stupid quotes from Congressman Pete Stark, concluding with his statement that the failed Solyndra solar-panel company was making electric cars, is enough to convince his San Francisco Bay Area constituents of what others have known for years: the man is a total head-case raving nutjob.

The 9/11 attacks seem to have brought out more latent anti-Americanism. The U. S. Religion Census finds that Islam was the fastest growing religion in America in the last 10 years, with 2.6 million living in the U.S. today, up from 1 million in 2000.

Ron Paul supporters will not likely be surprised to hear that his son, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, is making all the moves that would indicate he will continue the family campaign in the next presidential election.
The Senator was subjected to what he called an "invasive" TSA search at an airport recently and missed his flight as a result. Consequently, he has launched a campaign the shut down the TSA Gestapo; put it out of business.
His statement: “It’s time to END the TSA and get the government’s hands back to only stealing our wallets instead of groping toddlers and grandmothers.”

Jeffrey Kuhner summarizes Obama's trip to Afghanistan in order to deliver a speech to voters back here ...
"The speech was a cheap publicity stunt - political theater masquerading as statesmanship. Mr. Obama was not there to mark America’s victory in Afghanistan or to boost the morale of our soldiers. Rather, his message was aimed at the electorate back home. Opinion polls show that nearly 75 percent of Americans oppose the war in Afghanistan. His aim is to convince them he is a successful commander in chief - that under his leadership, the Taliban have been routed, al Qaeda has been smashed and our troops are (eventually) coming home.
"There is one problem with Mr. Obama’s narrative: It is a lie."

Jimmy Fallon --
"A new survey found that a third of Americans would not be able to pass the U.S. citizenship test. It's a real insult to our Founding Fathers — Denzel Washington and George Jefferson."

If you are undeterred by either argument or conscience from a particular course of action, it may be said that you are not FAZED ... not PHASED, as I recently saw in print.

An update on the injured mommy-dog mentioned yesterday. Despite the best efforts of the veterinary surgeon, she died. Four of her puppies were safely delivered during surgery, a fifth is not doing well. But the good news is that the four baby border collies already have homes.
... and ...
Todd writes about yesterday's item regarding the injured and abandoned dog ...
"Your piece on the abused dog brought to mind something I’ve said for a long time regarding the term 'animal rights.' The issue is not framed properly. The question should not be, 'Do animals have rights?' To anyone who knows the definition of rights, obviously animals do not, since they can neither take responsibility for their actions nor can they make and keep agreements. The way it should be phrased is, 'Do we, as people, have the right to be gratuitously mean to animals?'
"The answer to that is an unqualified 'NO.'"

BMW, the auto and motorcycle manufacturer, is being sued by 52-year-old Californian Henry Wolf, who claims that riding his BMW motorcycle gave him an erection that lasted twenty months.
Sales of BMW motorcycles are expected to skyrocket.

Today's column would have been longer, but I needed the time to emulate Obama and make up a composite of former girlfriends.
You know ... rich ... genius IQ ... gorgeous with just a touch of nymphomania leavened with a soupcon of sainthood. And ... oh, yes! ... "a voice like wind-chimes."
Perhaps I will call her ... oh, Genevieve.
More details as I dream them up ...

"President Obama has come up with a new campaign slogan — "Forward" — that's the slogan. And believe me, if unemployment doesn't improve by November, it'll be 'Forward my mail.'"

Len gives us this touching story of good husband ...
A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching his wife, who was looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her birthday.
"I'd like to be eight again," she replied, still looking in the mirror .
On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her to Adventure World theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park: the Death Slide, the Screaming Roller Coaster ... everything there was.
Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake.
Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure!
Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted.
He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, 'Well Dear, what was it like being eight again?
Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. 'I meant my DRESS size, you (expletive)!!!!'
"...and now, if you'll excuse me..."
