Take a deep breath, Don.

The Michael Steele controversy has me siding with Republican Congressman Dr. Ron Paul.

President Obama campaigned on Afghanistan being the “real war.”

It’s his.

Congressman Paul agrees.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Now which one of us is the clock?

One difference of course is that I would not pull out now. But Obama did not “inherit” this war; he sought it out. Steele called him out on that.

I think I know how to solve this problem but I confess I didn’t invent the solution.

This guy did.

He was right.

You’ve heard the whole back story by now.

General McChrystal has been removed from operations in Afghanistan and replaced with General Petraeus, an honorable man who owes America nothing.

Since General Petraeus has stepped up to the plate to continue selflessly serving America and is essentially bailing out the national security efforts of one President Barack Obama, perhaps MoveOn.org could issue a full page ad in the New York Times and beg forgiveness for this piece of partisan filth which it ran in the Times in 2007.

Would you be surprised to find out that MoveOn is already in a desperate race to scrub every mention of this from their website?

Shocker.

It’s stuffed with non-military related PORK. Shocker.

House Democrats are preparing to pass an Afghanistan war-spending bill on a party-line vote as Republicans balk at extra provisions the White House wants in the measure. [SNIP]

Senior Democrats in the upper chamber and the Obama administration are looking to attach to the war bill a $23 billion fund to help state and local governments stave off teacher layoffs. [SNIP]

The Obama administration has called on Congress to approve the war-spending bill by the Memorial Day recess. Of the $59 billion in the measure moving through the Senate, $33.5 billion is for military operations and will go toward funding Obama’s plan to increase U.S. troops in Afghanistan by 30,000. The Senate measure also has $13.4 billion for compensation to Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange [Fine!], $6.2 for foreign aid and $5.1 for domestic disaster aid.

If the only two provisions in the bill were for our military in Afghanistan and our Vietnam vets, the bill would likely get unanimous support from the GOP. Democrats can’t have it that way though. They have to include union kickbacks in everything. How else could they get votes?

When I saw this video on Gateway Pundit, I knew there was no way I could resist posting it here. Support for the troops? Check. Bagpipes? Check. Awesome.

Enjoy.

President Obama is in Norway today to pick up his much deserved Nobel Peace Prize.

How’s the trip going so far? Awesome.

“Barack Obama’s trip to Oslo to pick up his Nobel peace award is in danger of being overshadowed by a row over the cancellation of a series of events normally attended by the prizewinner.”

“Norwegians are incensed over what they view as his shabby response to the prize by cutting short his visit.”

“The White House has cancelled many of the events peace prize laureates traditionally submit to, including a dinner with the Norwegian Nobel committee, a press conference, a television interview, appearances at a children’s event promoting peace and a music concert, as well as a visit to an exhibition in his honour at the Nobel peace centre.”

“He has also turned down a lunch invitation from the King of Norway.”

Obama was also greeted by adoring fans.

“The president’s motorcade arrived at Oslo’s high-rise government complex to a few dozen anti-war protesters gathered behind wire fences nearby. Dressed in black hoods and waving banners, the demonstrators banged drums and chanted anti-war slogans. “The Afghan people are paying the price,” some shouted.”

“Greenpeace and anti-war activists planned larger demonstrations later that were expected to draw several thousand people. Protesters have plastered posters around the city, featuring an Obama campaign poster altered with skepticism to say, “Change?”

I think the people who decided Obama should get the Nobel Peace Prize were using it to try to influence American foreign policy. But now Obama has decided to send more troops to Afghanistan and they’ve all got egg on their faces.

I have no sympathy. Barack Obama is our president, the American president, not the president of Europe, Norway or the world.

Why?

Not because of unemployment, not because of the economy, not because of the war in Afghanistan.

No. They’re meeting to discuss the one agenda item that’s lowest on the list of most Americans…

ObamaCare!

“WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will huddle with Senate Democrats on Sunday in a special meeting to discuss health-care legislation.”

“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) has kept the Senate in a rare weekend session as senators try to complete work on a health-care bill before Christmas.”

“President Obama will meet with the full Democratic caucus at 2 p.m. EST Sunday, a spokesman for Sen. Reid said.”

“On Saturday evening, Senate Republicans forced Democrats to vote in favor of cutting billions from providers of home care for older people as partisan debate flared.”

“Democrats were meeting behind closed doors to try to reach agreement on how to structure a government-sponsored insurance option, one of the most controversial issues for Democrats in the debate. Mr. Reid has asked a group of 10 Senate Democrats to try to strike a compromise on the issue. The group includes proponents of a strong public plan like Sens. Jay Rockefeller (D., W.Va.) and Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio), and senators pushing for a more limited version including Sens. Tom Carper (D., Del.) and Mark Pryor (D., Ark.).”

“Several centrist Democrats have said they will not support the version that is in the bill now pending before the Senate. That public plan reimburses based on rates negotiated with health-care providers, and allows states that do not want to participate to opt out.”

The year is 2001. The debate is post 9/11 and it’s Charles Krauthammer versus known leftist and terror apologist, Tariq Ali.

DON’T watch these videos unless you like:

A. Charles Krauthammer

B. The taste of blood

PART I

PART II

In a way, Stewart is right. Obama is using the same strategy in Afghanistan that Bush used in Iraq. A strategy Senator Obama opposed under President Bush.

That didn’t take long.

Code Pink, the tasteless, annoying, anti-American noise machine that delighted in harassing members of the Bush Administration has already turned on Obama. Despite the fact that they enjoyed front row seats at his inauguration, they’ve got their undies in a twist over Obama’s decision to send more troops to Afghanistan. How dare he defend America!

Check out this graphic from their website.  Obama = Bush, Afghanistan = Vietnam….

Talk about hopeless. I’d be pissed if I was Obama. Ingrates!
