Breitbart covers the media, ACORN, the O’Keefe arrest and talks about the videos he has yet to release.

Awesome.

Furthermore, he explicitly calls for Rep. Slaughter to be removed from office.

Obama supports taking DNA samples upon arrest, not conviction.

Josh Gerstein over at Politico sent Threat Level his piece underscoring once again President Barack Obama is not the civil-liberties knight in shining armor many were expecting.

Gerstein posts a televised interview of Obama and John Walsh of America’s Most Wanted. The nation’s chief executive extols the virtues of mandatory DNA testing of Americans upon arrest, even absent charges or a conviction. Obama said, “It’s the right thing to do” to “tighten the grip around folks” who commit crime.

I guess you can add this to the list along with warrantless wiretapping, the Patriot Act, the continued wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and all the other things that suddenly don’t concern liberals.

I wonder why we haven’t heard anything lately from the “Libertarians for Obama?”

The Democrats continue to try to fan the flames of fake populist anger at big insurance companies. Why? To create support for their nightmare health care plan. Look at this.

Join Governor Howard Dean and help us perform a citizens’ arrest of the insurance companies

We need your help to put the insurance companies and every corporate enemy of change on notice: We will not allow the big corporations and their lobbyists to bully Congress into inaction.

Where: Gather in Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. to hear Governor Dean, then march to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel where the insurance company conference is being held

When: Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
10:30 AM

Now reconcile their rally against big insurance with this:

Neither mentioned that the Senate health reform bill, which is the basis for Democrats’ last best chance at comprehensive reform, would give the insurance companies millions of new customers required by law to buy health insurance. It would also require insurers to cover everyone, regardless of age, gender or pre-existing condition.

To help pay for the new insurance requirements the government would give to people money to buy insurance – $336 billion over the next ten years. That money, ultimately, would have to go to… drum roll… insurance companies.

It’s all fake. It’s as fake as Obama passing out lab coats at a press conference.

I haven’t seen politics like this since I was in high school.

“Rahm Emanuel is son of the devil’s spawn, Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) said. “He is an individual who would sell his mother to get a vote. He would strap his children to the front end of a steam locomotive.”

Rep. Massa describes a confrontation with Emanuel in a shower: “I am showering, naked as a jaybird, and here comes Rahm Emanuel, not even with a towel wrapped around his tush, poking his finger in my chest, yelling at me.”

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along…

ACORN has been cleared of wrongdoing in Brooklyn, New York.

Brooklyn prosecutors on Monday cleared ACORN of criminal wrongdoing after a four-month probe that began when undercover conservative activists filmed workers giving what appeared to be illegal advice on how to hide money.

While the video by James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles seemed to show three ACORN workers advising a prostitute how to hide ill-gotten gains, the unedited version was not as clear, according to a law enforcement source.

“They edited the tape to meet their agenda,” said the source.

O’Keefe and Giles – who visited ACORN offices in several cities, including its Brooklyn headquarters – stirred controversy when they posted the videos on their Web site.

I’m sure you’ll be just shocked, SHOCKED to find out that the special prosecutor in the case, Charles J. Hynes, received the endorsement of the “Working Families Party of New York,” one of the zillion heads of the hydra known as ACORN.

So far the worst of the Working Families Party/ACORN’s atrocities have been in New York City counties where the Democratic District Attorney’s have all enjoyed the support and endorsement of WFP. That Brooklyn DA Charles J. Hynes says he will look into the Brooklyn-based ACORN gives one little comfort. Hynes has enjoyed WFP/ACORN endorsement. Ironically this is the same Charles J. Hynes who put away the Brooklyn Democratic Party Chairman for trading the party nomination  for a judgeship for a political consulting contract from the judicial candidate to a favored vendor–precisely what the WFP has done in the City Comptroller and Public Advocate races.

Here’s a link to the Working Families Party website where they announce their endorsement of Charles J. Hynes: Scroll down to Brooklyn, Hynes is the second person listed.

Unbelievable Typical, isn’t it?

Obama campaigned for Jon Corzine in New Jersey and Corzine lost.

Obama campaigned for Creigh Deeds in Virginia and Deeds lost.

Obama campaigned for Martha Coakley in Massachusetts and Coakley lost.

Obama campaigned for Harry Reid in Nevada last week and guess what happened…

Reid got no bounce from Obama’s visit on Feb. 19, when the president spoke highly of him at Green Valley High School and to business leaders at CityCenter, polling indicates.

A larger percentage of voters surveyed (17 percent) said they would be less likely to vote for Reid following the president’s visit than said they would be more likely to vote for him (7 percent). Seventy-five percent said Obama’s visit would have no effect on how they vote.

“Reid was not helped, and Obama was not any more popular than he was before he came to the state,” said Brad Coker, managing director at Mason-Dixon Polling & Research.

Democrats have long thought that President Obama’s personal popularity is their secret weapon. They’re repeatedly proven wrong but they keep trying to use the same strategy. What was it Einstein said about the definition of insanity?

Oh yeah.

You may remember that Senator Jim DeMint took a lot of heat for saying the exact same thing in July of 2009. The comments caused such a stir that the White House tried to spin it into a rallying cry for Obama’s base.

On Friday, on a “Conservatives for Patients Rights” conference call with conservative activists dealing with health care reform, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said, as Ben Smith at Politico reported, “If we’re able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him.”

You should expect to hear that quote this week from the White House as they use it to rally their troops, a White House official tells ABC News.

Officials will say the people being “broken” are the American people going bankrupt paying for health insurance premiums that increase 10 percent every year, the source says, and that those who want to use this issue to break the president are doing nothing but working for insurance companies and insurance executives.

Well it seems someone else agrees with Jim DeMint. That person would be Democrat Strategist James Carville, AKA the Ragin’ Cajun.

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville said Monday that if President Obama is unable to push a health-care bill through the Congress it will be his Waterloo.

Carville echoed the term used by Republican Sen. Jim Demint, of South Carolina, who last summer made the comparison between the health-care fight and the decisive 1815 battle in modern-day Belgium that broke the French army under Napoleon Bonaparte.

“If the bill loses, it proves Senator DeMint right. It will, I think, by and large, be a lot of the president’s Waterloo, and I think a lot of Democrats realize that,” Carville said, speaking on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Carville said he was not as confident as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, that there will be enough votes in the House to pass a bill.

An excellent question which IBD answers in their own column. The media can’t ask that question because they’re all too busy praising Obama for his brilliant, incredible performance made of awesomeness.

Many viewers were wowed by the president’s performance at the health care summit, his command of facts and ability to rebut every point the Republicans made. We must have been watching another channel.

‘Obama dominates the room at health care summit” was the headline on a Reuters dispatch that found the president “always in command not only of the room but also the most intricate policy details, as he personally rebutted every point he disagreed with.”

In a Washington Post column titled “Professor Obama schools lawmakers on health care reform,” Dana Milbank marveled at how the president “controlled the microphone and the clock, (using) both skillfully to limit the Republicans’ time, to rebut their arguments and to always have the last word.”

Milbank went on to tell how Sen. John McCain got his “knuckles rapped” by the learned professor, how Sen. Mitch McConnell was made to “look small in his chair” and how various other Republican low-achievers felt the sting of Obama’s “big rhetorical paddle.”

But neither Reuters nor Milbank — nor many others, it seems — noticed Obama’s conspicuous non-rebuttal to Rep. Paul Ryan.

Ryan was the GOP superstar of the Health Summit. You can confirm it for yourself by watching this video:

My guess is that Obama didn’t respond to Paul Ryan because he can’t. To respond to Paul Ryan is to admit that everything he said in the video above is true. ObamaCare is an insane plan which sucks and the majority of the American people don’t want.

Facts like that don’t fit the narrative or help Obama in any way. Why would he respond?

I say you’d never know it because there are no protests. There’s no screeching and howling about how Bush Obama is shredding the US Constitution. There’s no full page ads from Move On in the New York Times. There’s no noise about it at all. Isn’t that interesting?

You’d almost think that all those protests of the Patriot Act really had nothing to do with the legislation at all. One might even get the impression that all the noise in the past was just an excuse to bash Bush. How else can anyone explain this?

After a wave of news about attempted domestic terror attacks, Democrats facing a tough election year quietly voted this week to extend the Patriot Act legislation that many of them had decried under former President George W. Bush.

The House passed a one-year reauthorization of the Patriot Act Thursday night 315-97, just a day after the Senate moved the bill on a late-evening unanimous voice vote.

With the law facing a sunset date of Feb. 28, the Senate opted to vote for the extension of three crucial provisions of the act rather than opening debate on a revised bipartisan plan passed by the Judiciary Committee in October that would have imposed stricter privacy safeguards.

“In the end, it became non-controversial,” Senate Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) told POLITICO. “[There was] the growing concern about increase on the pace of attacks on the homeland… and frankly, I think the Patriot [Act] got a bad name under the Bush Administration.”

You think?
