Obama's Lying Eyes...and Lips...and...

As long-time readers will recall, Victor Davis Hanson is one of my favorite political historians and pundits. He is, like me, a conservative living in a blue state (for him, California).

He has previously lamented the fact that the President gets away with murder due to our docile press. In this NRO post, Hanson simply tells it like it is. Our President is a serial liar. Its not pleasant to use the term, but the facts are what they are.

Hanson lays out the parade of half-truths, mischaracterizations, obfuscations, and outright falsehoods that have been a hallmark of the Obama presidency.

I have to believe that if Barak Obama was a Republican, he would be reviled in the press. As a Democrat, his Praetorian Guard media has only grudgingly acknowledged his penchant for dissemblege.

Read Hanson's post and decide for yourself.

Strategy? Obama Doesn't Even Have a Strategery.

John Hinderaker at PowerLine is one of my favorite political pundits. He's smart, conservative, and a lawyer to boot.

In this PowerLine Post, Hinderaker outlines the true depths of the failure of the President and his administration as it relates to ISIS. The Obama Administration's foreign policy is a joke and his key advisors, John Kerry and Chuck Hagel are not ready for prime time.

The press gives some signs of waking to the disaster that is in the offing, but I fear that two more years of Obama's bumbling will lead to an ever increasing risk of a deadly terrorist attack on our shores.

No expects the President to have all the answers, but he could at least give the appearance of a man trying to find them. His obvious disdain for the military and for any kind of diplomatic confrontation, has kept him from dealing with multiple threats to our interests.

Somewhere Jimmy Carter must be smiling, because President Obama has relieved him of the title of "worst President ever". Meanwhile George W. Bush and his stategery for the terrorists is looking pretty good.

UPDATE:

Here's more by Hinderaker on the need to deal with these terror groups immediately and decisively...while we still can!

"C" is for Cookie...Not!

This ridiculous story is evidence that the nanny state mentality has really taken over, and to an extreme degree.

Early episodes of Sesame Street have been compiled and made available for sale. They apparently come with warning labels because much of the content is "unsuitable for preschoolers". The biggest offenders...Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch.

Good lord, if today's child rearing "experts" truly believe that the original Sesame Street is bad for kids, I fear for the future!
