Anyone Taking Bets on Jake Tapper Moving to FOX News?

Jake TapperEarlier today, Jake Tapper of ABC questioned White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs over Obama’s nonsense war with FOX News.

I’ve been watching the FOX News channel this afternoon.

Jake received major kudos and props from Glenn Beck at 5 and just now from Bret Baier on Special Report, (update: and now O’Reilly and Hannity) which got me thinking…

How long before Tapper moves to FOX?

Can’t you see it? I think it would be great.

Anyone? Anyone?

“Jake Tapper and Fox News are the only things standing between us and a Chavez type democracy.”

So says the first commenter over at Jake Tapper’s blog, Political Punch. Tapper had an interesting exchange with White House spokesman Robert Gibbs on the nature of Obama’s stupid war with FOX News.

“From this morning’s gaggle in White House press secretary Robert Gibbs’ office:”

“Tapper: It’s escaped none of our notice that the White House has decided in the last few weeks to declare one of our sister organizations “not a news organization” and to tell the rest of us not to treat them like a news organization. Can you explain why it’s appropriate for the White House to decide that a news organization is not one –”

“(Crosstalk)”

“Gibbs: Jake, we render, we render an opinion based on some of their coverage and the fairness that, the fairness of that coverage.”

The only thing better than Hot Air posts by Ed Morrissey and Allahpundit is reading the always hilarious and intelligent comments from their readers.

Due to popular demand, I have explained the name “American Glob” in the sidebar.

Have a look around at American Glob and if you like what you see, please hit the tip jar. Every little bit helps.

Mark Levin to Michelle Malkin “Does Allahpundit Really Exist?”

I have to admit, this is a question I have asked myself. Who is Allahpundit? The question grew stronger when I read Andy Levy’s remembrance of September 11th, 2001 based on Allahpundit’s recollection.

In the following video (audio) from the Mark Levin Show, Mark asks Michelle Malkin to confirm that Allahpundit is a real person. For the record, I have always known Allahpundit is real. No fake blogger could blow me off as much as he has. Kidding!

Seriously, why are we asking who Allahpundit really is?

Let us focus on truly important questions like, WHO IS SMITTY and why is he obsessed with Jake Tapper’s Twitter feed?

Do you have an answer Mr. McCain?

Well, What Do You know? Obama is a Muslim After All

According to one of his aides…

Jake Tapper and Sunlen Miller of ABC News report that they overheard some interesting discussion on a conference call regarding Obama’s upcoming trip to Egypt…

“The other day we heard a comment from a White House aide that never would have been uttered during the primaries or general election campaign.”

“During a conference call in preparation for President Obama’s trip to Cairo, Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said “the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to — or before he’s been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world — you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father — obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago.”

Fascinating.

Tapper and Miller go on to remind us of Obama’s attempt to derail such “smears” as being labeled a Muslim.

“In September 2008, candidate Obama told a Pennsylvania crowd, “I know that I’m not your typical presidential candidate and I just want to be honest with you. I know that the temptation is to say, ‘You know what? The guy hasn’t been there that long in Washington. You know, he’s got a funny name. You know, we’re not sure about him.’ And that’s what the Republicans when they say this isn’t about issues, it’s about personalities, what they’re really saying is, ‘We’re going to try to scare people about Barack. So we’re going to say that, you know, maybe he’s got Muslim connections.’…Just making stuff up.”

Just making stuff up? How can anyone know for sure who is telling the truth now?

UPDATE: Allahpundit at Hot Air reminds us we won’t be able to discuss any of this in 2012.

UPDATE II: Michael Goldfarb at The Weekly Standard points out that Obama is undertaking a very significant reorientation of American foreign policy…

UPDATE III: Flopping Aces says It’s Now O.K. to Hint At Obama’s Muslim Roots

Obama’s Speech on National Security Trashed by… Rachel Maddow???

You know the wheels are coming off when…

We’re not fond of Rachel Maddow’s politics or TV show but we delight in hearing her trash The One. Rachel was freaked out by Obama’s national security speech because she felt it was a little too Bushy.

UPDATE: In the first minute of the video, Rachel claims that Obama made his speech in front of the “real US Constitution.” Not true. Jake Tapper of ABC reports:

“No, that was not an actual copy of the Constitution behind President Obama as he spoke today.”

“A spokeswoman for the National Archives confirms that just like in the movie National Treasure, the document on display today was a facsimile.”
