POPSObama Could Dump Biden for Clinton as VP in 2012by

..... of Clinton admirers, give Obama more of a pragmatic luster, and shunt the gaffe-prone Biden aside. And it would theoretically discourage Clinton, a former senator from New York, from challenging Obama in the 2012 primaries, Democratic insiders say, because as vice president she would be considered Obama's heir for 2016. Clinton would be 69 that year, the same age as Ronald Reagan when he won the presidency in 1980. As for Clinton, she has said that she doesn't plan to serve as secretary of state longer than four years, but so far she has expressed no interest in another presidential run. She was the favorite for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 but lost to Obama after a long series of primaries and caucuses.A White House strategist attributed the speculation about Biden and Clinton to "cocktail party chatter" and said Obama is "very pleased" with Biden's job performance. http://www.usnews.com

POPSGore Vidal Quotes By the time a man gets to be presidential material, he's been bought ten times over. Gore Vidal Democracy is supposed to give you the feeling of choice, like Painkiller X and Painkiller Y. But they're both just aspirin. Gore Vidal Every time a friend succeeds, I die a little. Gore Vidal Fifty percent of people won't vote, and fifty percent don't read newspapers. I hope it's the same fifty percent. Gore Vidal Half of the American people have never read a newspaper.

POPSVIS | Prayer and the President One thing for sure about public officials, most certainly the U.S. President, is that everything they do is public. Even his address at the National Prayer Breakfast last week and other faith-matters about the White House are not beyond constant scrutiny and analysis.

POPSDaily Presidential Tacking Poll
As the federal budget debate heats up, just 35% of voters realize that most federal spending goes to just three areas: National Defense, Social Security, and Medicare. Check out our review of last week’s key polls to see “What They Told Us.” The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook. Overall, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. That matches the lowest level of overall approval yet measured for this president. Fifty-five percent (55%) now disapprove. The first review of Scott Rasmussen’s new book said “In Search of Self-Governance promises to be the type of provocative and compelling tome for the decade to come that The Third Wave and The Tipping Point were in decades past.” Larry Sabato calls it a “thought-pro

POPSObama's Stunning Admission Obama admits Dems "snuck in" health care provisions Posted by Tom Bevan So it's a bit of shock to find out now - from the President himself, no less - that one or both of the bills that passed Congress late last year (the House passed its version in late November, the Senate on Christmas Eve Day) contained language that would have violated this pledge. If we take this statement at face value, President Obama is admitting the the health care bills passed by either the House or Senate (or both) contained provisions which were "snuck in" - presumably by Democratic members and perhaps on behalf of certain lobbyists - that would have in fact prevented people from keeping their current insurance and/or choosing the doctor they want.

POPSWhy Ronald Reagan was the Greatest President of the 20th Century Reagan had three parts to his genius. First, he was a visionary; he believed that people wanted freedom and would do well when more of it was given to them. Whether he was undermining the Soviets, challenging an unlawful union, or deregulating oil production he tried to move in a consistent direction of greater freedom and less government. According to Dinesh D’Souza, “Reagan’s greatness derives in large part from the fact that he was a visionary—a conceptualizer who was able to see the world differently from the way it was.” Reagan knew where he wanted to go: Jimmy Carter, by contrast, had multiple plans to create energy, to generate revenue, and to cut inflation. Often they were contradictory; all of them failed. Reagan was more consistent because he had vision: He knew where he wanted to go and how he wanted to get there. Second, Reagan had character, and in the eyes of America’s Founders, character was a necessary ingredient for greatness. Reagan stood for a set of ideas, and

POPSCan the Democrats Govern? Or Is Congress Crippled?
Congress may be crippled. In fact, much of the way they work -- besides all taking place in a swamp of corrupting money -- appears more set up to PREVENT things from happening than facilitate any legislation. This latest example is now coming into focus. Somehow one guy, a Republican Senator, is able to single-handedly stop all of President Obama's nominations for important jobs. No wonder so many things get stalled or killed if there are all these ways the will of the majority can be frustrated. The will of the majority may not always be ideal but better than rule by warlords, military dictators or thug mobs. But we better starting using it. President Obama has brains, guts and integrity. Now we want to see results. Things like what this Senator Shelby is doing must be overcome. Changes to improve health care must be made. Other promises lived up to. If the right wing wackos regain control, I fear we'll be in for the worst misrule and poor governance we coul

POPS The Nuclear Bluff Obama budget exposes nuclear lie http://michellemalkin.com In his State of the Union Address, President Obama purported to reach across the aisle by endorsing a “new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants”…before pushing cap and trade. The nearly $4 trillion budget he released today exposes his nuclear lie. President Barack Obama will propose eliminating funding for the Yucca Mountain project in a new budget he will submit to Congress on Monday, according to Nevada lawmakers who were notified over the weekend. It zeroes out funds for the besieged Yucca Mountain nuclear storage facility in Nevada " one of the few, prominent Obama campaign pledges that he looks like he’s actually fulfilling: Following the State of the Union, in a conference call with reporters on the same day the nuclear financing plan was unveiled, Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the creation of a special panel to find a solution for storing nuclear waste.

POPSStates Have the Power to Tell President Stay Out
Articulate and intelligent video interview with former sheriff Richard Mack.

A firm supporter of the US Constitution and a member of Oath Keepers, Mack discusses many current issues in this 7-minute interview, including what is law enforcement’s and military’s Oath of Office, Mack’s successful suit against the Clinton administration, the federal government’s creative efforts to revise the Constitution, the sworn duties and responsibilities of American sheriffs, and Pres.

POPSHELEN's EPHIPHANY. When you call the reporter the night before you know damn well what they are going to ask to control you,” Thomas said. “I’m not saying there has never been managed news before, but this is carried to fare-thee-well--for the town halls, for the press conferences,” she said. “It’s blatant. They don’t give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame.” During today’s briefing, Thomas interrupted a back-and-forth between Gibbs and Chip Reid, the White House correspondent for CBS News, when Reid was questioning Gibbs about who was going to decide what questions would be asked of President Obama in a townhall meeting that was scheduled to take place in Annandale, Va., today.
