War on terror: Lets talk, War on Rush lets attack.

Today on Morning Joe Barnicle said something that deserves its own post.

All over the world we see this administration talking. Syria, Iran, perhaps Cuba and the Taliban and maybe even Hamas are worthy of negotiation they are to be engaged. The fact they at least three of them are directly involved in killing Americans notwithstanding.

Rush Limbaugh who generates revenue and income for Americans all over the country by his successful radio show. He can’t be debated or attacked he must be destroyed.

Obama and our friends on the left know who America’s true foes are, but just a thought. If Rush wants Obama to “fail” and Iran, Taliban, Cuba, Syria et/al don’t what does that tell you?

UPDATE: You can add Jim Cramer to that 2nd list.

In fairness to all…

…It is true that we do not yet have two months of the Obama presidency in the bank yet, although Geitner was in place even before that and should have had time to plan on this.

We will continue to disagree on the stuff he is doing, on the economic front June would be a better time to make a more solid decision on if this stuff is working or no.

That won’t prevent me from critiquing and attacking things that I thing are certainly incorrect but it is much too soon to declare the Obama presidency a failure and anyone who does has never read history.

The new tone in washington

Remember when Barak Obama was supposed to make us better loved around the world? Get a load of this:

The real views of many in Obama administration were laid bare by a State Department official involved in planning the Brown visit, who reacted with fury when questioned by The Sunday Telegraph about why the event was so low-key.

The official dismissed any notion of the special relationship, saying: “There’s nothing special about Britain. You’re just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn’t expect special treatment.”

There is all this talk about getting our allies to do more but then we not only snub our best ally but we insult them after the fact. The Corner puts it best:

It would be good to know who this official is, and whether the Secretary of State agrees with this insulting portrayal of the Anglo-American alliance — especially at a time when thousands of British soldiers are putting their lives on the line alongside their American allies in Afghanistan, while most of Europe sits on the sidelines. If the State Department doesn’t support the views expressed, it should disown them immediately.

Amazing. And remember President Obama spent the better part of a year and a half begging us to give him this job. And we did.

Marines and Elephants

Via Roger’s Rules we contrast the reception of two different Commanders-in-Chief

People like to forget what side the president was on in Iraq. Marines never forget. They are polite and respectful as required but they never forget. The reaction of the media person at the end is priceless.
