POPSObama's Health-Care Gamble Amazingly this is coming from Newsweek's Howard Fineman. He goes on to say: "The effort to jam the bill through Congress made the public dubious. Most Democrats voted for a version of the bill on the first round without having read, let alone digested, its thousands of pages. As the Christmas Eve vote approached, desperate last-minute stocking stuffers appeared in the small print, such as a $1.2 billion payoff to the state of Nebraska that secured Sen. Ben Nelson's reluctant vote." There's much more and it's indeed very telling. Get a grip Capitol Hill and "start over". Nobody wants it as is.

POPSSeniors are America's new Jews FTA: "Seniors now find themselves as the official go-to group for a president intent on taking both life and property and giving to those who are younger, more diverse, to illegal immigrants, and Democratic Party allies. Consequently, the Obama-led Democrats, with the help of intellectual and media elites, have declared open season on grandma and grandpa, with Newsweek Evan going so far as to feature a cover detailing "The Case for Killing Granny." My son & I were discussing this after I had put my Mother to bed. The best way to provide for Congress' Health Care Bill is to limit the number of users. The best way to "help the Planet" is to decrease the population. The best was to "save Social Security" is to eliminate the number of people who need it. I'm not a journalist, an elitist, a Marxist, a numbers-cruncher but even I can see what they are doing. Those who no longer are major contributers to society have no rights in Obama's society.

POPSIran, Obama and the Bipartisan Sanctions Bill “Suspicious aims.” New charges were also brought last month against Iranian-American scholar Kian Tajbakhsh, who was already sentenced to at least 12 years in prison on espionage charges. The regime has been going after other foreign nationals, including French teacher Clotilde Reiss, who is living under house arrest in the French embassy in Tehran. Christopher Dickey notes in Newsweek that “since Ahmadinejad took over four years ago, some 35 foreign nationals or dual nationals have been imprisoned for use as chump change in one sordid deal or another.” Diplomacy. In October, the U.S. and its allies offered to enrich Iran’s uranium in facilities outside the country, supposedly for the production of medical isotopes. Tehran finally came back with a counterproposal late last week, in which no uranium would leave Iranian soil. Even Hillary Clinton admits it’s a nonstarter:

POPSOnce More From The Top, Barack! by Mark Steyn
“There are those who say there is no evil in the world. There are others who argue that pink fluffy bunnies are the spawn of Satan and conspiring to overthrow civilization. Let me be clear: I believe people of goodwill on all sides can find common ground between the absurdly implausible caricatures I attribute to them on a daily basis. We must begin by finding the courage to acknowledge the hard truth that I am living testimony to the power of nuance to triumph over hard truth and come to the end of the sentence on a note of sonorous, polysyllabic, if somewhat hollow, uplift. Pause for applause.” It didn’t come but once at Oslo last week, where Obama got a bad press for blowing off the King of Norway’s luncheon. In Obama’s honor. Can you believe this line made it into the speech? “I do not bring with me today a definitive solution to the problems of war.” Well, there’s a surprise. When you consider all the White House eyeballs that approve a presidential speech,

POPSLeft Won’t Let Facts Get In the Way of Global Warming Check out the sites where the Chicken Little`s still thrive. About the hacked emails, The Huffington Post says “this criminal activity has created fodder for right-wing groups to promote their own agenda that global warming is not real.” And, after admitting he was “deeply shaken” by the emails, a Guardian columnist adds that “To bury man-made climate change, a far wider conspiracy would have to be revealed.” Really? For fun: imagine if these leaked emails weren’t about global warming, but Gitmo. Or Dick Cheney. Or Sarah Palin’s private life. How fast would Time, Newsweek, and an intensely sweaty Andrew Sullivan be all over them " calling these emails corruption of the highest order? But they can’t do this here. Because the lie is the lie that the media believed in. It’s their Watergate " so it’s no wonder there’s no “Woodward and Bernstein” to bring it down. Daily Gut: Greg Gutfeld http://bit.ly/73ifYV

POPSNewsweek Editor: "Health Care Bill a 'Fiscal Fraud' but..... Absolutely amazing!!! And the foolish woman believes this bill offers the "last chance"!!?? None dare scratch it and start over knowing all that has been learned over these last months. I agree that America needs some serious Health Care reform. Tort Reform would be a good start. Cracking down on fraud; ie. follow the $$$ would be great too. But when people say idiotic things such as these (and are serious!) we really are in deep doo-doo. These, who are the media influence-peddlers who have access to our citizens every day! Throw in the towel, they say. As though there is no hope for a much better bill. Where are the Leaders??

POPSMedia: Enabler of Government Lies President Bill Clinton benefited from a press corps that often treated his falsehoods as nonevents — or even petty triumphs. Newsweek White House correspondent Howard Fineman commented that Clinton’s “great strength is his insincerity.... I’ve decided Bill Clinton is at his most genuine when he’s the most phony.... We know he doesn’t mean what he says.”

POPS Lucid Links 11.09.09 Only when you get to Obama’s page do you learn that Obama a) wasn’t president, and b) didn’t make any speech at the site of the Wall last year when he campaigned for the U.S. presidency in Europe. In remembrance on the 8th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on Washington and New York, our president …. sent Joe Biden to Ground Zero in New York City. Deliberate ignorance: The British press was out front (HT Hot Air) in telling the world that the perpetrator of the Fort Hood attack “worshiped at a mosque led by a radical imam said to be a ’spiritual adviser’ to three of the hijackers who attacked America on Sept 11, 2001.” That the attack was jihad-inspired is not open to real dispute. Meanwhile, the PC-addled American press does all it can to minimize the enormity (HT Mark Finkelstein at NewsBusters) of what occurred at Fort Hood and makes excuses for the perpetrator, even to the point of claiming that he might (even though he never experienced

POPSTime To Man Up, Barry The sentence for Kian Tajbakhsh was the longest prison term yet in a mass trial of more than 100 opposition figures, activists and journalists in the post election turmoil. The longest sentence so far, yet news accounts offer no explanation as to what Mr. Tajbakhsh did to deserve arrest, let alone a 12 year sentence. Apparently he was arrested at his home, not at a demonstration. News of his sentence was coupled with reports of lenient treatment given to a Canadian citizen: At the same time, Iran allowed another defendant to leave the country--Canadian-Iranian Maziar Bahari, a Newsweek journalist arrested in the same crackdown who had been freed on bail over the weekend. Bahari joined his British wife, who is in the last days of her pregnancy, in London, Newsweek said on its Web site Tuesday. It could be a coincidence. But news accounts certainly raise a question whether the mullahs are publicly sticking their finger in the Obama administration's eye, letting a Canadian go . .

POPSFOX News is Un-American! The Newsweek article Doocy cites says that Rupert Murdoch is un-American for bringing the Australian-British-continental model of politicized media to the United States via Fox News. That's right, Newsweek is calling the very existence of Fox News un-American, not the White House for criticizing it.

POPS Hammer Wants An Anvil Fawning “Inconvenient Truth Teller” article inside paints him as a sort of goof savant … a bit like Chauncey Gardiner of “Being There,” he’s been in Washington DC his entire life, everyone likes him, and suddenly they think he’s a genius. The three-decade gaffe-and-reverse record requires some acrobatics, though. The Newsweek scribblers clearly like his go-lite, wack-a-mole strategy though they are big enough to admit at the end that people who actually know what they are talking about say it won’t work. It’s not exactly the Joe Biden embed that I wished out loud NYT’s Dexter Filkins would do as a counterbalance to his McChyrstal piece earlier this week,* but close. Some administration officials, led by Biden, appear to hope that American forces can rely more on counterterrorism operations"attacks by Predator drones and small elite units on terrorist hiding places"to hold Afghanistan together and defeat Al Qaeda. But critics call this “splitting the baby" and say . . .

POPSMore Evidence of Obama Fatuous Fabrications of His 'Work' Experience During the campaign, advertisements touted that Obama "passed" three bills, without identifying where they were passed (U.S. Senate, Illinois Senate?). In fact, Obama did not pass three bills. That is what a legislature does and in this case, the three bills were passed by the Illinois Senate-a far less notable accomplishment than had the bills been passed in the U.S. Senate. Newsweek details the fabrication: The first bill that's cited is the 1997 law that created the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program in Illinois. The ad claims Obama "passed a law to move people from welfare to work, slashed the rolls by 80 percent." That's going too far. First, the law in question wasn't dreamed up out of thin air by its sponsors. It was the follow-up to the welfare reform act, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act, that President Clinton signed on Aug. 26, 1996. That law gave states the ability to design their own welfare programs as long as they met . . .

POPSNewsweek: US Intelligence Finds no Evidence of Iranian N-Weapons Program 
The other news is about so-called suppressed documents in the files at the International Atomic Energy Agency, which are alleged to show a nuclear weapons research program. Gareth Porter argues convincingly that the reason that the IAEA never took the documents seriously is that there is every reason to think they are forgeries, perhaps by the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) political cult, which wants to have the US overthrow the clerical regime in Tehran so that MEK can take over the country. As for the Western press leaks that Iran now has enough nuclear material to make a bomb or now has the technical ability to make a bomb, both are nonsense. You need to enrich uranium to 90% to make a bomb. Iran claims to be able to enrich to 4% and a lot of observers think that is an exaggeration. So ipso facto Iran cannot possibly have produced enough fissile material for a bomb. Moreover, you need to have a weapons program trying to enrich to 90% to produce a bomb, which Iran does not have, from ev

POPSRacism? Really? Black conservatives on Obama Real racism does exist today. But you won’t find it displayed in so called “racist” words that the language police have used to judge your heart and soul. It exists in the liberal movement that champions abortion—abortion that predominantly targets inner-city blacks. It exists in well-to-do environmental circles that serves to keep blacks in third world countries trapped in pathetic third world status in the name of “green.” Whether by the elite condemnation of genetically engineered corn or opposition to development of energy via coal or nuke, such successful opposition and obstruction keeps blacks trapped in a third-world life of suffering. Real racism is alive and well in the educational policies that keep a large segment of America’s black children trapped in absolutely failing schools, unable to read, write, excel or even write their names.

POPSAn Update on Barry's Hut Brother RUSH: I'm still pondering here, ladies and gentlemen, because it is a big mystery. Why it is that Obama refuses to help his brother in Kenya living in the hut and why the family has been waiting with their hands out for four five years, since 2004, since he was first elected to the US Senate. Not a penny, nothing. And we're sitting here trying to think, "Why?" And one thing is obviously there's no magic in helping family members overseas. Maybe it's racism. No, no, no. I'm serious. Obama is half white. Maybe his half-white side is to blame here. The family's... Well, look, I'm at the bottom of the barrel here trying to come up with logical explanations here. I'm just going on Newsweek, that we're all born racists -- and Obama had "a typical white grandmother." Those are his own words. Maybe the half-white side's winning out here. There's a dual battle going on inside the cranium there.

POPSA National Travesty The media's absence on the story of the czars is an abomination. However, there are positive aspects: 1. The media has pitched it's tent in the Obama camp. It is clear for all to see. This is an apparent certainty. This means no more expectations of media scrutiny. We should rather the work be left to us anyway. Now, we know for sure that it is. The repercussions for Obama will be more severe. 2. It has lit a fire of involvement from the population that would not occur if the media brought the news to us and did the work for us. We are more engaged. This is not good for Obama. 3. The more inept the media is, the greater the effect people will have. 4. When (if) the media finally decides to do it's job, the pendulum will swing against Obama in extraordinary ways.
