The Ponderosa: Obama's Blaming the Media ...

Death before Dhimmitude

Energy Independence

Above this race of men stands an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications and to watch over their fate. That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?

Obama's Blaming the Media ...

... for the furor over the lipstick comment?

The flaccid friend of unrepentant terrorists and product of Chicago machine politics would be back in the Illinois State Senate without a fawning media, uninterested in his past, more cheerleaders than dogged pursuers of the truth.

Perhaps Obama should drop the attempts at humor.

He simply is not funny.

But his faux outrage sure is.

You can wrap a shroud of gold, of "change" and "hope", around "The Communist Manifesto".

It's still a pile of crap.
