President Obama Plays Politics in Afghanistan
The nation’s two highest-ranking military commanders have gone on record raising serious concerns about President Obama’s flawed plan to bring 33,000 troops home from Afghanistan by September 2012. The outgoing Commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, General David Petraeus, said during Senate hearings last week that the troop withdrawal was “a more aggressive formulation…than what we had recommended.”"
CBS incorrectly puts Herman Cain at back of Iowa Poll

Treasury Sec. Geithner: We Need to Raise Taxes on Small Businesses Because It‘s ’Fair’ | Breaking news and opinion on The Blaze
And how exactly, is this "Fair". To punish those who take all the risk to pay those who sit home and do nothing? I'm a small business owner. I make NOTHING?! Got that - NOTHING! My employees get paid first - but that "fairness" would apply to us.
But just to put it in perspective, it’s important to recognize why are we doing this,” he explained. “You know, our deficits are 10 percent of GDP, higher than they’ve been since any time in the postwar period really. We have a big hole to dig out of, and we have to figure out how to do that in a way that’s balanced, good for growth, fair to people as a whole.”"

No 'him' or 'her'; preschool fights gender bias - Yahoo! News
And this will accomplish what? They won't be able to tell they are male or female? This is more of the pablum being dished out by the "Nobody loses" crowd. Life isn't easy. In fact...some days it outright sucks - to be less than poetic. But to disarm children the way we have in the name of " preventing damage to their self esteem"....all it does is take the bullets out of the gun. All this while Europe and Asia arm their children with every tool they need to succeed. Failure isn't an option everywhere else - not because it will damage their "Self Esteem"..but because excellence is required. The way it used to be here.
At the 'Egalia' preschool, staff avoid using words like 'him' or 'her' and address the 33 kids as 'friends' rather than girls and boys.
From the color and placement of toys to the choice of books, every detail has been carefully planned to make sure the children don't fall into gender stereotypes."

ESPN Tim Howard calls ceremony a 'disgrace'
Goalkeeper Tim Howard was still upset after the U.S. lost the Gold Cup final, but his strongest reaction had nothing to do with the four goals Mexico slotted in his net.
After El Tri's 4-2 victory at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., Howard blasted CONCACAF officials for conducting the title ceremony in Spanish.
'CONCACAF should be ashamed of themselves,' Howard said. 'I think it was a [expletive] disgrace that the entire postmatch ceremony was in Spanish. You can bet your ass that if we were in Mexico City, it wouldn't be all in English.
'But that's not why we lost the game. They've got some special players who put us in some bad situations.'"

It is actually an infuriating time for Hollywood because of the “Wait” and “The Hold”.
Since massive amounts of money are involved, the second stage of the Obama Nation really can’t explode until The Man is back in office.
Educating Americans can be so laborious at times.
Why?
Because, as that Marxist Point Man, Bill Maher, says, “They’re stupid!”"

Bachmann: 'Scare tactics' in debt ceiling issue
If Geithner says it won't work...then it DEFINITELY needs to be explored!
On the eve of her entry into the 2012 GOP presidential race, Rep. Michele Bachmann said 'scare tactics' are being used by those warning of an economic calamity unless Congress raises the government's borrowing limit by an August deadline.
The three-term congresswoman from Minnesota said the U.S. could avoid a default by paying only the interest on U.S. obligations while lawmakers work on a deal to cut spending dramatically as part of a new debt ceiling.
Such an approach has been derided as unworkable by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner."
