In a highly unusual maneuver, President Obama’s 30 minute flight to the Presidential mountain retreat at Camp David this afternoon was diverted to an undisclosed landing near Frederick, Maryland and a motorcade assembled to drive him to the nearby site. White House press secretary Jay Carney tells ABC News a “bad weather call” was made before the President and his younger daughter Sasha even boarded the aircraft.
Carney says they have now arrived safely at Camp David. It remains unexplained why the President would be allowed to board Marine One knowing that the landing site on the mountain was experiencing weather making a landing difficult.

Obama admits his regulatory agenda is killing jobs | Campaign 2012
Why would he recommend them? Because he hasn't got a CLUE what it means to run a business....JEEZ....
C. Boyden Gray, White House Counsel to President George H. W. Bush, was not surprised by Obama's retreat. "I don't know why they proposed them in the first place. The normal five year review does not come up for another year and a half. The standards they were proposing would have operated as a quasi-construction ban in most urban areas. It just didn't make any sense." The Bush EPA last finalized the current ozone standards in 2008. The EPA is not required to review them until 2013.

Cheney: 'Honored to be compared to Darth Vader'
Talk show radio host Laura Ingraham opened her show this morning with the Darth Vader theme song to introduce former Vice-President Dick Cheney recalling the nickname given to Cheney by the left.
"I always had a soft spot for Darth Vader," said Ingraham as she began her interview, "He was the most interesting person, other than Chewbacca in the Star Wars series. . . c'mon."
"I love the music and Star Wars reference," Cheney responded, "I was honored to be compared to Darth Vader."

They're All in This Together...
Asked during the 2008 presidential campaign about his relationship with the left-wing radical Bill Ayers, Barack Obama replied that Ayers was just "a guy who lives in my neighborhood." He implied that to even bring that questionable relationship out of the shadows was a mean-spirited, guilt-by-association political tactic. Ayers, Obama went on, had done something deplorable "forty years ago when I was six or seven years old."
If We Let the Government Take Our Guns, We’ll Have to Run and Hide Like Londoners
When England banned the private ownership of handguns within its borders, I remember the National Rifle Association (NRA) airing videos of steamrollers rolling over mounds of confiscated weapons and crushing them to bits. I remember seeing videos of containers full of guns – handguns and long guns – being placed in large compactors where they too were crushed beyond recognition.
The NRA’s message was simple: Elect people to Congress and the Senate who are anti-gun and it won’t be long till they’re steamrolling your father’s shotgun or your .38 revolver or your buddy’s Colt .45.
And the NRA warned that once that happened, emboldened criminals would come into our homes and businesses without hesitation: for they’d know that we, as a disarmed citizenry, have no way to turn them back.

Maxine Waters Calls Banks ‘Gangsters’ and Says Government Will Tax Them Out of Existence
So nice to know our elected officials aren't in anyway abusing their PEOPLE GRANTED powers and/or not adhering to the letter of the law...
While speaking at a Los Angeles Town Hall event recently, Rep. Maxine Waters introduced an interesting idea when it comes to banks and loan modification. According to her, it’s up to the federal government to make sure people can afford their mortgages. So much so that it’s time the president “bring the gangsters in, put them around the table, and let them know that if they don’t come up with loan modifications and keep people in their homes, that they’ve worked so hard for, we’re gonna tax them out of business.”

Poland: Vandals Desecrate Holocaust Memorial at Jedwabne — Site Where Hundreds of Jews Burned Alive
"They were flammable"....what kind of mind can even think that for a second...?
Vandals desecrated a monument marking the spot in Poland where hundreds of Jews were burned alive during World War II, scrawling “they were flammable” and a swastika on the memorial.
The government, Poland’s Jewish community and Holocaust survivors on Thursday all strongly condemned the attack on the site, one of the most notorious cases in which local people collaborated with the Nazis in killing Jews during the German wartime occupation of much of Eastern Europe.

Obama halts controversial EPA regulation
Maybe he is FINALLY seeing everything he does is a JOB KILLER! However....for every Regulation he stops...they sneak a boatload through the back door....
President Barack Obama is directing his administration to withdraw a controversial proposed regulation updating government smog standards.
The withdrawal comes two days after the White House identified seven proposed regulations that would cost the economy at least $1 billion each. The proposed updated smog standard was estimated to cost anywhere between $19 billion and $90 billion, depending on how strict the standard would be.

Gibson CEO Says Feds Told Him Problems Could be Avoided with Madagascar Outsourcing - Oh Hell, why not?
The tale of the Gibson guitar raid — the one focused on the legendary guitar maker’s alleged importation and use of illegal wood — has taken an odd turn. Now CEO Henry Juszkiewicz is claiming the Feds told him that some of his problems “would go away” if the company used Madagascar labor.
In an interview with Beck radio affiliate KMJ 105.9 in Fresno, California, Juszkiewicz told host Chris Daniel that the government made the point “explicitly:”

The Essential Question in Any Political Debate - Alexander's Essays
The most vital debate of the 2012 political cycle, indeed the essential question in any political debate, is one that you will not hear much about unless you are represented by one of the authentic conservatives who have carried the banner of the Reagan Revolution into the 21st century, or you are represented by one of those much-maligned Tea Party "radicals."
Screw Up, Move Up, Cover Up: The Fast and Furious Edition
There are now enough Operation Fast and Furious officials playing hide-and-seek in the Obama administration to fill a "rubber room."
That's the nickname for taxpayer-subsidized holding pens, such as the ones in the New York City public schools, where crooked employees are separated from the system and paid to do nothing. Perhaps the White House can stimulate a few construction jobs by adding an entire rubber room annex for "reassigned" scandal bureaucrats at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It's getting mighty crowded.

ObamaCare and the Jurisprudence of Clarence Thomas
In the glossy pages of The New Yorker, in graceful prose and with good reporting, the dreams and nightmares of the admirers of Barack Obama and his policies lie exposed.
The dreams include Ryan Lizza's report last April in which he quoted an Obama adviser as saying the president's policy on Libya was "leading from behind." This week, as Tripoli seemed about to fall, the magazine's editor, David Remnick, hailed Obama's "calculated modesty."
The nightmare appears in last week's issue, in Jeffrey Toobin's lengthy article on Supreme Court jurisprudence, titled "Partners" and subtitled "Will Clarence and Virginia Thomas succeed in killing Obama's health-care plan?"

From Battlefront to Boardroom - Karl Rove
Leaders in commerce and warfare share a common vocabulary—words like strategy, tactics, dominance, conflict and victory. Success in the military provides young people with leadership and management experience that can contribute to success in business. But the transition from waging war to conducting commerce is not always easy.
Fortunately for over 1,500 veterans of America's recent conflicts, banker Sid Goodfriend felt after the attacks of 9/11 an ever-increasing debt to the young men and women he saw protecting our country in time of peril. So after a quarter-century on Wall Street, Mr. Goodfriend retired and in 2007 started repaying that debt.

Terrorist credits Hollywood for his recruitment
A Balkan Muslim who killed two U.S. Air Force servicemen in March has told a German judge Wednesday that he was motivated after seeing the movie “Redacted,” which was made as a political statement in 2007 by Hollywood director Brian De Palma, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and several high-profile movie industry producers.

Can you spell "AMNESTY"...???!!!

Oversight Committee - US Postal Service ...tick...tick...tick....Default Countdown ...another Too Big To Fail...?!?
U.S. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe has said that the United States Postal Service will default on its obligations to the federal government on September 30, at the end of the current fiscal year.
Now the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has launched SavingThePostalService.com to educate the public about the Postal Service’s financial troubles and some possible solutions.

'God told us to come' - Glenn Beck's show in Jerusalem
Beck cries out "Lo Ira" (Hebrew for "I shall not fear"). He explains that these words were spoken by every Jew as he endured hardships throughout history – from the bible, through the Holocaust to the present day. He asks his followers to join an international movement he is about to establish and speaks of the obstacles ahead. "The last threat on my life took place about five minutes ago," he proclaims.
I doubt it as I look around and notice the heavy security presence. But his thundering voice takes over my cynical thoughts. "Lo Ira!"

A disaster called Obama ... Ya think?!
Barack Obama is solidifying his status as the worst president in American history. The leader who promised us a bright future of peace and fraternity is leading the American empire – and the rest of the world with it – into a dark abyss. Ever since he settled into the Oval Office, Obama has been hopping from one disaster to the next, making every possible mistake, boosting enemies and disregarding allies while ruining everything he touches in the process. To our regret, the heaviest price – for the time being at least – is being paid by residents of the Middle East.
