Kosovo is blowing up right now, folks…

— all kinds of revolution going on over there. Tanks, people in the streets, fires, US embassy has been attacked… but no reports of injuries. MSNBC decided to get expert commentary on what’s happening over in Kosovo.

Of course, this was the situation that was “fixed” by President Clinton, and so who did they go to?

They went to, Wesley Clark, part of the Hillary Clinton campaign team to discuss what’s going on in Kosovo. Now, General Clark, of course, was the commander of NATO forces during the war in Kosovo.

And, you know, ladies and gentlemen, it’s very obvious, is it not, that the Clinton-brokered deal in Kosovo is not making much political progress.

Yep: Political progress is desperately, sorely needed on the ground in Kosovo. Well, let’s just apply the same requirements to Kosovo that Pelosi and Reid have applied to the situation in Iraq.

Another War Democrats can surrender, and claim defeat for…

Now… this is Scary.

Nation of Islam leaders and Obama…

Bamboozling

Barack Hussein Obama Playing Denzel Washington Playing Malcolm X:
Is this the Next Prez?

-Debbie Schlussel

This Obama wave must be exposed, for what it really is.

It is a nightmare waiting to happen.

The nation is at risk. I have no doubt.

God Help us.

Hey, folks — put aside all that talk about a “looming recession.” Our economy has to be chugging along better than the so-called experts say.

Last year, even with gas prices soaring, subprime mortgages tanking, and ATM fees at all-time highs, donations to colleges soared to $30 billion — that’s a new record. This news comes from an annual survey released by the Council for Aid to Education.

But there’s a catch, however, my friends. Sadly, it was the “rich” who lucked out. Wealthy schools — including the Ivy League giants — attracted enormous donations, like Stanford University, which raised over $800 million. Harvard? Over $600 million.

Now, if the Democrats in Congress and on the campaign trail were consistent, given their view of other industries, they would call for an immediate end to all tax breaks for “rich” universities. They’d demand the greedy universities pay a windfall profit tax! Hillary would be threatening to “take” their profits, to spend elsewhere. Democrats would propose an economic stimulus package for poor colleges paid for by the rich ones, and we’d have tons of congressional investigations. If Democrats were consistent, they’d pull out all the stops to end the wealthy colleges’ “gouging” of the poor students and parents who face higher tuition fees each year — while academe racks up billions.

But, of course, Big Education is a liberal “Big Business,” so it’s perfectly fine that the rich get richer while the poor get poorer… and you pay for it.

It’s liberal business as usual.

Check this out from Berry Hussein Obama…

OBAMA:

We need to move in a new direction. We’re here because we still believe that change is possible. And so the question I have for you tonight, Houston, is, are you really ready for change? The size of our challenges has outstripped the capacity of a broken and divided politics to solve. Change in America does not happen from the top down. It happens from the bottom up. All across the country people are standing up and saying, it is time to turn the page, it is time to write a new chapter in American history. We want to move forward into a better tomorrow. The American people (crowd chanting “yes we can”) — yes, we can. We’ll invest in you, you invest in America, together we will march this country forward. We need something different, and we need new leadership to move into a new century. Nothing worthwhile in this country has ever happened except somebody somewhere was willing to hope. That’s what hope is, imagining, and then fighting for, and then working for, struggling for what did not seem possible before. All these things are possible if you are ready for change.

What things? This is amazing! All of those things — change, the future. Now, there were 20,000 people there, and they were mesmerized. I mean it’s a personality cult.

These people that are showing up at these things are investing all this hope in Obama, not in themselves. Hope, like I keep telling you, hope is an excuse for doing nothing.

I know you gotta whole different opinion of this. I’m telling you, this will not sustain itself, just like the Perot phenomenon didn’t sustain itself. It’s not because it’s not valid, or any of that, it’s because people’s emotional reservoirs just aren’t that deep. Plus, the whole context of the campaign is going to change.

It’s not over yet. You can’t say she’s finished with this until Texas and Ohio, and even then, with these delegate rules, you know, I’m just reacting today. We’re doing a bunch of hypotheticals within the context that it’s over, but it really isn’t, but in terms of what McCain has to do against an Obama nominee in the general election, that’s the sense in which I’m exploring this stuff today. You know, getting a handle on it, putting your arms around what it is, is another thing. But it’s not a political movement. It’s a rock tour. And if you don’t show up at the concert when it happens in your town, you’re not hip. It’s a cult. It’s a religious movement, whatever it is, it has gone beyond politics. These speeches say nothing; they say nothing. These people, I’m telling you, that are gravitating to Obama, at least these people showing up in person, these are people desperately seeking meaning in their lives because they don’t have any.

We all want to matter. We all want to have meaning in our lives. We all want to be relevant to something, and a lot of these people don’t feel that about themselves. They feel empty, and they’re trying to fill the emptiness, fill the void. And Obama does. Obama gives them hope that they’re going to be something, but that’s even not it. Obama gives them hope that he is going to make their life substantive and have meaning by virtue of his presence, his messianic — by virtue of his existence alone. They’re not going to have to do anything. Basically you could say that Obama is saying this to these cultists out there in this crowd, “I will do my best to take wealth from those who generate it in our country and give it to you, who are hoping for change.” That’s one of the essences of what Obama is saying.

He finally got a little specific on economics…

OBAMA:

I believe in the free market. I know Texans believe in entrepreneurship. We are an independent and a self-reliant people. We don’t believe in government doing what we can do for ourselves. But when we’ve got CEOs making more in ten minutes than ordinary workers are making in a year, and it’s the CEOs who are getting a tax break and workers are left with nothing, then something is wrong.

Right. So throw all this free market stuff that he just said he supports out the window, because something’s wrong. It ain’t working. The free market isn’t wrong. Hillary says she’s going to rein in all these corporations. He’s doing the same thing. He’s just not using her language.

OBAMA:

I want to take away those tax breaks to companies that are shipping jobs overseas. We’re going to give them to companies that invest right here in America. And we’re going to rollback the Bush tax cuts that went to all the wealthy people, and we’re going to give tax cuts to ordinary families, people who are making less than $75,000, we will offset your payroll tax, senior citizens who make less than $50,000, we want to say to them, “You don’t have to pay an income tax, you’re already having a tough time making ends meet,” and I will raise the minimum wage not every ten years, but to keep pace with inflation because, if you work in America, you should not be poor, and that’s a goal that we should set for ourselves when I’m president of the United States of America.

That’s what I mean. He is an old-time liberal. He is an old-time socialist. Very little of that stuff, by the way, that he says he’s going to do will ever happen. It doesn’t matter. He’s not going to be able to pull that off. Those kinds of things, that drastically, are not going to happen. But he wants them to, and he will try to make them happen. Obama never worked in the private sector, and it shows.

You go out, folks, you try be a young person, you try to get a job under President Obama. He wants to jack up the minimum wage and index it to inflation. You want to blast young people right out of the job market, do the Obama plan. Good-bye high school and college jobs for kids, good-bye entry-level jobs. So will Barack step up and give our tax money to those he puts out of work? Yeah. Because it’s never going to be his fault. It will be the evil Republicans in Congress who have no compassion. I, for one, I do not want a naïve fool with no experience managing the United States economy. And Hillary talks this way, too.

That’s not their job. Dictators manage economies. Presidents do not.

He wants to manage upper-end wages, CEO wages. He wants socialized medicine, to expand unions, empower teachers unions. All of this stuff is Marxism when you boil it all down.

These are all old, regressive ideas that have failed, as Obama is a young, naive man who holds tight to failed old ideas.

You know, folks, when campaigns flounder, expect one thing from policy wonks: more wonkery. We’ve got it; the “inevitable” Hillary Clinton has issued a 13-page economic manifesto, which is really a blueprint for destroying prosperity.

She’s going to deliver budget-busting socialized medicine. She will freeze home foreclosures — that will kill any chance of housing market rebounding. And she’ll create “new infrastructure” projects, like building new roads and bridges.

It’s the FDR model: taxpayer-funded Big Government “make-work” jobs.

Her enemies would pay dearly. Mrs. Clinton would “take back” $55 billion from industries that she doesn’t like — Big Oil, Big Pharma — and companies that “outsource.”

That’s the Hugo-Chavez-commie-thug-dictator model.

It’s also economic drivel.

An incident on the campaign trail proves my point. A little girl told Mrs. Clinton that she and her mom — a hairdresser — were going to lose their home because their mortgage payments had jumped by $400 a month. So Mrs. Clinton brought them up onstage, put her arm around them, and blamed unscrupulous mortgages brokers for their problems. And… that was that.

Hillary and Bill Clinton have spent years reminding us they’re so rich they don’t “need” tax cuts. A lousy five grand would have fixed this little girl’s problem for a year! Did Hillary pull out her checkbook and offer to help? No way! Mrs. Clinton put her arm around her, had a photo-op, then kicked her to the curb to wait for the government, and hope for change.

That’s a wonk, folks — not a leader. But, you knew that.
