*Louisiana Purchased by Reid - Hyscience Nov 20, 2009, 6:11 pm
Apparently, Harry Reid's $100 million bribe to Louisiana is paying off.
Via Politico: Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) said Friday night that she’s “leaning towardsâ€� voting to start debate on the health care bill â€" which would leave Democrats just a single vote shy of clearing a critical test for the reform package on Saturday.

*Gallop: Obama approval drops below 50% - Hyscience Nov 20, 2009, 2:41 pm
The latest Gallup Daily tracking results show that only 49% of Americans approve of the job Barack Obama is doing as president, putting him below the majority approval level in a Gallop poll for the first time in his presidency. As Gallop points out, of the post-World War II presidents, Obama now is the fourth fastest to drop below the majority approval level, doing so in his 10th month on the job.
In comparison, Rasmussen has Obama's approval at just 47%. It's becoming more and more apparent t
*AG Holder's True Motive - Hyscience Nov 20, 2009, 11:16 am
Mona Charen suggests that Holder is using KSM to put the CIA and the Bush administration on trial, and for this purpose the Obama administration is willing to sacrifice logic, justice, national security, and honor.
I find this to be no revelation, for anyone that thinks otherwise is living in la la land amidst unicorns and daisies, and overdosing on Obama Kool-Aid.

Clearly, it's a "Not."

A Convincing Case That Hasan Is An Islamic Terrorist - Hyscience Nov 20, 2009, 8:10 am
Daniel Pipes, a well known authority on the Middle East and Islamic issues, lays out a clear and convincing case for Major Nidal Hasan being nothing less than an Islamic terrorist, and that his motivation for murdering and wounding the soldiers at Ft Hood was indeed, an act of jihad. This, despite continuing attempts by our government to whitewash the Islamist's jihad.
Unbiased readers need only to read the evidence themselves, and they'll find it hard to arrive at any other conclusion.

26 years after the attack on the Marine barracks in Beirut, families are stymied again in their attempts for restitution, this time by the Obama administration that is going to court to try to block payments from Iranian assets that the families' lawyers want seized. In what amounts to nothing less than a sickeningly disgusting effort to appease the Islamist regime, the administration is contending that it would jeopardize sensitive negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program and establish a

A just-out Fox News poll of 900 registered voters shows that President Obama's approval rating has hit a new low of 46 percent, with an equal number -- 46 percent -- disapproving of the job he's doing.

AJStrata has a post up on the curious coincidence that after the Obama administration came into office it was not long before the ongoing investigation into Major Nidal Hasan was prematurely ended. Given AG Holder's June 4 statement on protecting American Muslims (and lets not forget his law firm's history of defending terrorists), Barack Obama's well known history with Islam, and the emerging connection of dots that AJ points to, it seems logical to at least entertain the suspicion that this hi

Reid's 'deformed' health care reform plan - Hyscience Nov 20, 2009, 5:48 am
As the NY Post makes crystal clear, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's touting of his unveiled health care bill as having a Congressional Budget Office analysis suggesting it would cost $849 billion over 10 years - is in fact, three times that figure. All gimmicks aside, the 10-year cost of actual implementation of the Reid bill is a staggering $2.5 trillion. In other words, only a Bernie Madoff could believe the Senate's health care bill will extend coverage to 31 million Americans while cutti

Alan Caruba's interesting take that the Israelis and much of the rest of the world are getting ready to call the Iranian ayatollah's bluff in the hope they can avoid a military response to Iran's nuclear quest and the threat it represents, is well worth the read. However, his premise necessitates a much higher faith in Barack Obama making timely and proper decisions than I'm willing to give him credit for. The rest of the world would have to be willing to act while our president continued to "di

*Lindsey Graham Destroys Holder On Reading Osama Bin Laden Miranda Rights - Hyscience Nov 18, 2009, 4:36 pm
If you want to understand one of the reasons why AG Holder's decision to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed in civilian court is reckless and irresponsible, watch Senator Lindsey Graham destroy Attorney General Eric Holder's arguments on Miranda rights on Osama bin Laden. Graham is dead-on target; Holder is evasive, has only weak excuses, and is unable to offer a coherent rationale for his decision. Clearly, the more closely the Obama administration's decision is examined, the worse it looks.

The dean of Harvard Medical School gives the health-reform debate a failing grade:Speeches and news reports can lead you to believe that proposed congressional legislation would tackle the problems of cost, access and quality. But that's not true. The various bills do deal with access by expanding Medicaid and mandating subsidized insurance at substantial cost--and thus addresses an important social goal. However, there are no provisions to substantively control the growth of costs or raise the

As the WSJ makes clear, the mullahs are tightening, not unclenching, their fists, and with the Iranian nuclear program making steady progress, it's time for President Obama to acknowledge that his diplomacy is a dismal failure.
The real problem, however, is that whatever adjustments he makes are just as likely to exhibit as much weakness as his "unclenched fist" approach, and just as likely to result in Iran completing their development of nuclear weapons.

Our "Ditherer-in-Chief" continuing to do little more than "vote present" in making a final decision on Afghanistan is complicating the Afghan campaign and significantly affecting our war effort. It seems our inexperienced, unprepared-for-office, president fails to understand that there is a cost of dithering:General Stanley McChrystal's assessment and force-requirement studies were largely complete by the beginning of August.

Maj. Nidal M. Hasan, the Army psychiatrist believed to have killed 13 people at Fort Hood, was supposed to discuss a medical topic during his presentation to senior Army doctors in June 2007. Instead, he lectured on Islam, suicide bombers and threats the military could encounter from Muslims conflicted about fighting wars in Muslim countries.
