Former President Jimmy Carter Objects to Having his Foreign Policy Compared to Barack Obama

You know your foreign policy is bad when …

How bad is President Barack Obama’s foreign policy? Even former President Jimmy Carter takes exception and objects to the comparison. WOW.

Either way, the Carter comparison was clearly meant as an insult. After all, the piece was titled “The Carter Syndrome.”

It would seem natural for Obama and his allies to find the piece somewhat insulting — but the one raising the most stink so far is Carter himself.

From the Jawa Report, imagine a foreign policy so bad that even Jimmy Carter takes exception to the comparison. YIKES!

Liberal Racism:Donny Deutsch Smears FL Republican Senate Candidate Marco Rubio With Racially Charged Attack, “He’s a ‘Coconut”

So it’s the Republican and Tea Party members that are racists, eh?

While appearing on the Joy Behar Show, MSNBC and CNBC contributor Donny Deutsch used racially charged language calling Republican senatorial candidate Marco Rubio as a “coconut.”

Just a quick FYI and primer from Michelle Malkin for those of you unfamiliar with the “coconut” insult:

If you are a conservative with Latino/Pacific Islander/Filipino heritage, you’re a coconut (brown on the outside, white on the inside).

From News Busuters, the definition of what a coconut is as defines by others in the know.

…  both the New York Times and Urban Dictionary define as a “person who is tan on the outside” and “white on the inside.” Rubio is the son of Cuban exiles.

Deutsch employed the derogatory term while hitting politicians with no experience. He noted the success of such candidates and derided, “…You almost need that blank piece of paper. That’s the new model. Like, you know, this coconut Rubio down in Florida.”

Of course the liberal Deutsch tried to weasel his way of of his racist comment by posting the following on Twitter. However, Weasel Zippers took him to task.

UPDATE: 2010-02-23 18:20 Deutsch responded on his Twitter page: “I said ‘coconut’ meaning simple, goofy, bananas…wasn’t even aware it could be a racially charged word.”

Just like a typical liberal to call others racist when they might need to take a good look in the mirror. Just before acting like a racist, Deutsch accused others of being the very same.

Ironically, just seconds after calling Rubio a coconut, Deutsch lashed out against tea partiers, slamming them as racist: “No, they’re angry- they’re basically- their argument is- and I think there’s a lot of racism underneath it- is- ‘He, they, are taking your civil liberties away. They’re stomping on the Constitution. They’re telling us how many bullets we can have in our guns.’”

Just more typical nonsense from the do as we say, forget what we do liberals. Imagine, just imagine if a Republican made such a comment. The LEFT just cannot stand that Conservative Mark Rubio is destroying RINO Charlie Christ in the polls for the Republican Primary for US Senator in Florida.

Democrat Harry Reid, “Men, when they’re out of work, tend to become abusive,” … What Happens When he isn’t Reelected?

Democrat Senate majority leader Harry Reid once again makes a comment that has some scratching their heads. Reid suggested  that domestic violence by men has increased due to US  joblessness. So is Obamanomics now going to end domestic violence? Or has it created more domestic violence since more jobs have been lost and we are just under 10% unemployment?

Reid, speaking in the midst of a Senate debate over whether to pass a $15 billion package meant to spur job creation, appeared to argue that joblessness would lead to more domestic violence.

“I met with some people while I was home dealing with domestic abuse. It has gotten out of hand,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “Why? Men don’t have jobs.”

Harry Reid then went on to say the following:

“Women don’t have jobs either, but women aren’t abusive, most of the time,” he said.

“Men, when they’re out of work, tend to become abusive,” the majority leader added. “Our domestic crisis shelters in Nevada are jammed.”

Here is the real question that needs to be asked of Harry Reid and Barack Obama. Actually, there are two;

1) Will Reid and Obama both become abusive when they are without jobs and fired by the American People in 2010 and 2012, respectively?

2) If Reid and Obama had so much concern for the rise of domestic violence because of out of work men, then why did they not concentrate 100% on jobs in America and not waste so much time with issues like health care and Cap & Trade?

Joran Van Der Sloot Confesses Again in the Death of Natalee Holloway in Aruba?

Breaking News from the Natalee Holloway Case … Could this be the confession that actually gets Aruba to prosecute suspect Joran Van der Sloot?

Joran Van der Sloot

According to Dutch reports, Joran Van der Sloot has once again confessed in the death of Alabama teen Natelee Holloway.  Joran Van der Sloot was the last reported individual to have been with Natalee Holloway prior to her disappearance in Aruba in May 30, 2005. Joran Van der sloot  in his new confession claims to have left Natalee Holloway’s body in a swamp.

Dutch suspect Joran van der Sloot has confessed to disposing the body of missing American student Natalee Holloway while on the Caribbean island of Aruba, a Dutch newspaper reported on Tuesday. He made the statements in front of an RTL television camera.

The statements by van der Sloot follow a similar confession more than two years ago during an undercover operation by Dutch crime reporter Peter R. de Vries, which prosecutors said did not constitute new legal evidence.

Natalee Holloway, Missing in Aruba

‘De Telegraaf’ newspaper reported that – in the new confession – Van der Sloot said he is still scared of being prosecuted and admitted to disposing Holloway’s body in a marsh on Aruba. The report said the chief prosecutor on Aruba confirmed the story, but said Van der Sloot could be attempting to give multiple false versions to hide the truth.

Florida Republican Primary for Senate 2010: Rubio Up Big … Rubio 54%, Crist 36%

Marco Rubio pulls out even farther ahead of Charlie Christ in the race for the Republican nomination for US Senate of Florida. Rubio now leads Christ 54% to 36% which represents a 5% point gain from last months polling.

Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio continues to lengthen his lead over Governor Charlie Crist in the contest for Florida’s Republican Senate nomination.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely Republican Primary voters finds Rubio leading Crist by 18 points, 54% to 36%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and seven percent are undecided.

Florida Republicans do not vote for their nominee until an August 24 primary; however, at this point it would take a miracle for Christ to make up the difference. The polling trend is toward Rubio as  in December 2009 the two candidates were tied at 43% apiece. Christ has made one too many1 photo-op embracing Barack Obama and his $787 billion stimulus package for Republican tastes. Once again this is a clear indicator that the Republican party is choosing more Conservative candidates to run in 2010.

Now Unions & Liberals are Attacking Dem Senator Harry Reid’s Jobs Bill as a Joke

More from the Gang who could not shoot straight …

$15 billion? What’s $15 billion jobs (stimulus) bill when Barack Obama had previously passed one for $787 billion. Now Democrat leaning Unions and other liberal groups are up in arms over this ridiculous and “puny” attempt of jobs legislation.

Unions and liberal groups have dismissed Sen. Harry Reid’s $15 billion jobs bill as “puny” while calling for larger stimulus measures.

More than two dozen organizations, including the AFL-CIO, National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples (NAACP) and the National Council of La Raza, warned Democratic leaders in Congress to avoid tackling the troubled economy through incremental action.

How does the LEFT really feel about Reid’s jobs bill? These people can do nothing right as they manage to just upset all sides and do nothing to get people back to work. This will become the latest FOX TV show, ‘When Liberals Attack Their Own’.

“If this $15 billion was the only thing [that passed], that would be like having an amputated arm and sticking a band aid on the end of it,” said Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, on a conference call Friday.

Democrat Senate Majority leader Harry Reid did have a bipartisan jobs bill on the tabeble. That was until he took it upon himself and  killed it. He ended a bipartisan jobs bill for this? No wonder Democrats and Reid are failing miserably in the polls.

Winter Olympic: Miracle on Ice … 30 Years Later … The USA Beat the Soviet Union, Where were You!

MIRACLE ON ICE … WHERE WERE YOU!!!

“Eleven seconds, you’ve got ten seconds, the countdown going on right now! Morrow, up to Silk. Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in miracles? YES!”

Before the Internet, before cell phones and before  24 hour cable, there was the 1980 Winter Olympics and a story of the USA hockey team for the ages. Never again will such a story and game ever be played as it transcended sports.

It was February 22, 1980 the day the world stood still when the USA hockey team beat the Soviet Union 4-3 … where were you? It was the greatest game and greatest sports upset in USA history. The story of “Miracle on Ice” is one of the greatest uplifting, feel good stories of all time. A cast of college kids put a nation on their shoulder when we needed it most.

It is 30 years later but to watch highlights of the game from the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, NY still brings a smile, pride and a tear to my eye after all these years. It was more than just a hockey game, it was a piece of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Unions played out on a sheet of ice. It was a bunch of college kids against the Soviet hockey machine that was invincible. The Russian Red team had taken down the NHL’s best teams preceding the Olympics, how could a team of college kids even compete.

The rest is things that dreams and miracles are made of.

USA VS USSR: Mike Eruzione goal – The shot heard Around the World

Having grown up a Cold War kid, Miracle on Ice represents such a special moment in time. We deal with the threat of terrorism today, but that is a much different feeling than to wake up and wonder whether there would be nuclear annihilation. It was such a different time. I can remember being glued to the TV watching every second recovering from surgery. When the USA won, I jumped up and down, split my stitches and cried like a baby.

For those who are not old enough to appreciate the moment in time, you have to go back to 1980 and think of the following. The United States was gripped in a terrible economic plight, double digit unemployment, interest rates and inflation. So many people were out of work and gas was rationed. The USSR was occupying Afghanistan and American hostages were being held in Iran.

Do you believe in Miracles … YES!!!

It was a grim time in the US and everyone thought that the USSR was going to dominate the Winter Olympics and do a show of force on the World stage. We now know why that why they play the game.

These Olympic hockey kids made America remember that any thing is possible and miracles do come true. The feeling that this moment in time provided was beyond words.

Tell us what you were doing and your thoughts … 30 years later.

RINO Arnold Schwarzenegger Dismisses Tea Party Movement: ‘Not Going Anywhere’

RINO-nator …

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger made some disparaging remarks while on ABC’s “This Week” hosted by Terry . Schwarzenegger dismissed the Tea Party movement as he stated,“The Tea Party is not going to go anywhere.”

“I think the Tea Party is all about just an expression of anger and dissatisfaction.”

Scott Brown was elected in Massachusetts, states like NJ & VA that voted for Obama have turned RED, Republicans are ahead in polls across America, once safe Democrats are now fighting for their political survival and the once untouchable Obamamessiah now finds himself at mid 40′s approval ratings and this is attributed to just anger and dissatisfaction. Sorry Arnold, it is much deeper than that, the People’s eyes are open and will never be closed again.

Once again we find an individual who has no clue what the Tea Party represents. Why not? Because at his political root, the Terminator is a liberal and exactly what the Tea Party stands against. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the embodiment of all that the Tea Party is against, a so-called RINO Republican who promises conservatism and in the end buckles to liberalism. As Another Black Conservative says, please do us all a favor and become a Democrat already.

Check out the VIDEO at Mediate for Arnold’s comments on the Republican Party and The Tea Party movement. What is most telling, when asked whether the the Republican Part was they party of “NO,” Schwarzenegger responds by beginning with the word “THEY”. They? Don’t you mean “WE” Gov. Schwarzenegger? Last time I checked you ran as a Republican or is this your term limited way of getting back in the good graces with the Kennedy’s?

Well, you know, they have the big opposite position. I mean, because first when it come to the party itself, they have to do everything they can in order to win in November. So they’re going to say no to everything …

Full transcript at ABC News.

Just a little tid bit from the past and some food for thought for Republicans … remember when all of you thought that Arnold was the end all be all and provisions should be made to allow him to run for President? How’s that idea looking now?

Oh and by the way, Arnold Schwarzenegger bragged on Obama’s stimulus plan and how it saved 150,000 jobs in California … dear Mr. Governator, California has an unemployment rate of 12.4%. That stimulus package just did wonders in your state, didn’t it?

California’s unemployment rate is the fifth-highest in the nation, after those of Michigan, Nevada, Rhode Island and South Carolina, and it’s significantly higher than the national rate of 10%.

Economists expect the state’s labor market to remain weak as the critical housing sector continues to struggle. Over the last two years, California has lost more than 1 million jobs.
