This was a bad start for an even worse rally at Northeastern University in Boston. The president probably would have been better off phoning it in.

Unbelievable. Not.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) apologized today for referring to President Barack Obama as “light skinned” and “with no Negro dialect” in private conversations during the 2008 presidential campaign.
“I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words,” said Reid in a statement. “I sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially African Americans for my improper comments.”
President Obama said in a statement that he and Reid had spoken about the matter on Saturday afternoon. “I accepted Harry’s apology without question because I’ve known him for years, I’ve seen the passionate leadership he’s shown on issues of social justice and I know what’s in his heart,” said Obama. “As far as I am concerned, the book is closed.”…

Here is a pretty good web ad from “Keep America Safe,” which hammers President Obama for his slow response during the first 100 Hours following the attempted Terrorist Attack aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253.
The ad shows Obama playing golf at key points during the 100 hours, and that he waited 97 hours afterward to make any public statement about it. He then went back to playing golf.

(Told You So.)
Some married couples would pay thousands of dollars more for the same health insurance coverage as unmarried people living together, under the health insurance overhaul plan pending in Congress.
The built-in “marriage penalty” in both House and Senate healthcare bills has received scant attention. But for scores of low-income and middle-income couples, it could mean a hike of $2,000 or more in annual insurance premiums the moment they say “I do.”
The disparity comes about in part because subsidies for purchasing health insurance under the plan from congressional Democrats are pegged to federal poverty guidelines. That has the effect of limiting subsidies for married couples with a combined income, compared to if the individuals are single…

This might ring a little hollow coming from a liberal like Jack Cafferty on CNN, who said “President Obama hasn’t even made a token effort” to keep his repeated campaign promises of openness about health care reform transparency. Gee, ya think?

…In a high-speed culture in which politics is conducted in the short-hand of sound-bites, the 2010 election can be easily summarized by the last names of the two presidents immutably identified with their respective governing philosophies, making the first national election of the 21st century’s second decade a virtual War of the Presidents. It will beget one simple question. Are you Reagan or Obama?…
For Obama to remake America from the bottom up into a statist utopia as long envisioned by American and European “progressives.” To fundamentally change — forever — the role of government in everyday American life. To remove as much individual liberty and freedom as they can get away with and replace it with government control, on the old theory that only economic and political elites can correctly order the affairs of the average man and woman. Making of America a quasi-socialist state on the model favored by leftists of one stripe or another for all or parts of three centuries. If the Obama progressives could manage it, the idea would be to drop the “quasi” altogether…

Add another one to that gigantic “we told you so” file…
In 1983, President Ronald Reagan issued an Executive Order which gave permission to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) to operate within the boundaries of the United States. Reagan’s EO put INTERPOL under the same basic guidelines as the CIA, FBI, ATF and other Federal law enforcement agencies.
Two weeks ago, without any announcement, debate, discussion or inquiry from journalists charged with “speaking truth to power” President Obama issued an amendment to this EO. The amendment removed part of Reagan’s order that kept INTERPOL from having full diplomatic immunity while operating within the United States. In other words: Under Reagan and right up until two weeks ago, INTERPOL was authorized to operate within the USA but they did not have full diplomatic immunity and had to adhere to certain laws set forth for investigative agencies. Laws that prohibit authorities from violating our constitutionally protected rights…

Not that there’s anything wrong with that… unless your name is George W. Bush.

Here is one of the few MSM reports on President Obama’s so-called “Winter White House,” where he and his family are currently staying for their Christmas Vacation.
They are staying at a $9 million estate which is being rented out at a cost of $4,000 a night (or about $56,000). Obama is renting out that house for two weeks, and is also reportedly renting the two houses next door as well for family and friends. He is rumored to be interested in purchasing it.
Here is video called “Obama Promised” produced by a liberal group called “Yes We Still Can,” which hammers President Obama for going back on his word to insist that a “Public Option” be in the Democrats’ Health Care Bill. Those on the Left are not pleased with the Senate bill which omits a so-called “Public Option.” One can only hope that their pressure during the bill reconciliation process between the House and Senate can keep the bill from becoming law.
