Not to mention the hypocrisy.

These people don’t care about any of the things they claim to care about. They care about nothing but power over other people.

I won’t go black today, but a lot of bloggers are. Michelle Malkin explains why. That judge in Maryland should be removed from the bench.

Taking a closer look. I think that the Democrats are whistling past the graveyard.

Here is the latest polling. Obama only breaks fifty percent with the Marquette poll; all the others have him less than that. The state is in play.

He’s got it all — incompetent and corrupt.

It’s time (long past time) for her to step down, and let someone else handle the Zimmerman case (which it would be appropriate at this point to simply drop, since there is no basis for it — given the state of the evidence that she’s presented, she doesn’t have a prayer of getting a conviction).

The vetting continues, though not by the MSM:

Although his campaign vehemently denied it in 2008, newly obtained documentary evidence now establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that Barack Obama joined the New Party, a leftist third party controlled in Chicago by ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), during his first run for office in 1996.

The New Party’s aim was to transform the United States into a European-style welfare state, with the program of Scandinavia’s social democratic parties serving as a model. Mitt Romney has already identified this as the goal of Obama’s presidency, and the story of Obama’s New Party days lends credence to Romney’s claim.

So while Romney was running Bain Capital, Obama joined a leftist third party controlled by ACORN and dedicated to turning the United States into a massive, European-style welfare state. If Romney’s background at Bain is a fit topic for discussion, so is Obama’s New Party tie. It is now proven that, despite his campaign’s vehement denials in 2008, President Obama gave his allegiance to a party standing far toward the left of the American political spectrum. That is news. Will the press report it?

That Barack Obama is a life-long socialist and far leftist (not to mention a liar, along with his campaign) shouldn’t be news. And his enablers in the press will ensure that it doesn’t become so.

“He doesn’t need people.” And all the narcissist’s yes men (and women):

When the media took Obama’s skill at campaigning as evidence of his ability to govern, it was like concluding that just because a person knew how to operate a bulldozer he could operate on a brain tumor. The skills did not necessarily transfer. Perhaps the root cause of the administration’s woes is that it knows how to campaign, but is completely incompetent at governing.

The image one gets is that of an old-time political machine, where a bunch of operators slouch outside the office of the Boss, waiting to be sent on this errand or that, all the while occupying themselves with trivia, racing tame cockroaches across the floor and vying with each other to see who can hit the spittoon across the room. You can run Tammany Hall that way. Maybe even Chicago. But can you govern America in that fashion? Until the administration values competence over spin it will continue to tank.

In other words, it will continue to tank.

You’d have to have a heart of stone to watch this video and not laugh out loud.
