Core Chicago Team Sinking Obama Presidency

"Any serious survey of the Obama administration's accomplishments and setbacks over the last year has to conclude that the administration is deeply in the red.

"If current trends continue, this once mesmerizing Camelot-ish operation will be be seen in the history books as the presidential administration that -- to distort slightly and inversely paraphrase Churchill -- never have so many talented people managed to achieve so little with so much."

UGANDA CONFRONTS "LOUD-MOUTHED HOMOSEXUAL LOBBY"

"He added, 'Please continue to help Uganda by educating Americans about the bill and countering the lies. The American people should wake up and reclaim America from a dangerous subculture that is destroying their children and youth under the guise of liberty and human rights.'"

Dick Morris: These are the true deficits: Bush $800B, Obama $1.4T

"But when the fiscal crisis hit, Bush had to pass the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) in the final months of his presidency, which cost $700 billion. Under the federal budget rules, a loan and a grant are treated the same. So the $700 billion pushed the deficit — officially — up to $1.3 trillion. But not really. The $700 billion was a short-term loan. $500 billion of it has already been repaid."

And who pushed Bush for TARP money?

More Desperation from Liberals About Sarah Palin

"With Obama failing and the nation getting deeper into debt and unemployment, the left is desperate when it comes to smearing Sarah Palin in attempts to take focus off their 'leaders' dropping poll numbers. The latest whining from the left is about her appearance at the Tea Party convention where she made her speech. Moonbats at the Huffington Post and Dailykooks posted an image of Sarah Palins hand with some writing on it. The writing simply lists some points to make in a speech, but to me it looks as though the image was Photoshopped as other images throughout the event show nothing written on her hand. This would be nothing new to these left-wing moonbats as they like to Photoshop images and pass them as real."

Many Successful Gay Marriages Share an Open Secret

"When Rio and Ray married in 2008, the Bay Area women omitted two words from their wedding vows: fidelity and monogamy...But they knew from the beginning that their bond would be forged on their own terms, including what they call 'play' with other women...New research at San Francisco State University reveals just how common open relationships are among gay men and lesbians in the Bay Area. The Gay Couples Study has followed 556 male couples for three years — about 50 percent of those surveyed have sex outside their relationships, with the knowledge and approval of their partners.That consent is key. 'With straight people, it’s called affairs or cheating,' said Colleen Hoff, the study’s principal investigator, 'but with gay people it does not have such negative connotations'...they opened their relationship a year ago after concluding that they were not fully meeting each other’s needs. But they have rules: complete disclosure, honesty about all encounters, advance approval of partners, and no sex with strangers — they must both know the other men first. 'We check in with each other on this an awful lot,' said James, 37."

So the secret is "out."

Ruben Navarrette Jr.: The Immigration Debate Cries Out for Honesty

"They’re both wrong. What the immigration debate needs most isn’t toughness or compassion. It’s honesty. Whether it is to make their camp look better or to make it easier to discredit their opponents, people on both sides of this argument sure do spend a lot of time and energy denying the obvious."

Thank You, Glenn Beck, for Exposing Communism’s Evils

"Both of my grandfathers were exterminated by Stalinist terror. Both of my parents, Yuri and Marina Glazov, were dissidents in the former Soviet Union. They risked their lives for freedom; they stood up against Soviet totalitarianism. They barely escaped the gulag, a fortune many of our friends and relatives did not share. I come from a system where a myriad of the closest people to my family simply disappeared, where relatives and family friends died under interrogation and torture for their beliefs — or for simply nothing at all."
