Bush's Third Term VII (Amended)

Very early this morning I added a short post that President Obama is boycotting the Durban II Conference - Promoting Hatred of Israel for the same exact reasons that President Bush ordered Secretary of State Colin Powell to walkout on Durban I.

Since that time I've been to my son's hockey practice and read the morning "news"paper. I now add an Amendment to today's post.

This was the headline and a few sentences from an AP story from February 28:

US to boycott UN racism conference
By Matthew Lee and Edith Lederer, Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration said Friday that the United States will boycott an upcoming U.N. conference on racism unless its final document is changed to drop all references to Israel and the defamation of religion.

"President Obama's decision not to send U.S. representation to the April event is the right thing to do and underscores America's unstinting commitment to combating intolerance and racism in all its forms and in all settings," the American Israel Public Affairs Committee said. (End Excerpt)

Amendment

The AP is reporitng this morning that Interior Secretary Ken Salazar (who works for President Obama; oh, and he's Latino for the skin-color obsessed) "said yesterday that he is upholding the US Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) decision to remove gray wolves from the Federal endagered species list in the northern Rockies and the western Great Lakes."

You have to love this quote from Jamie Rappaport Clark, vice president of Defenders of Wildlife and a former USFWS director under Clinton, "What we had hoped for was the new administration would have taken a deep breath and elevated the science. Whether it's Kempthorne or Salazar, the concern remains the same. It's the same plan that I fear doesn't protect the gray wolf's long-term sustainability."

The Emperor is wearing Bush's Clothes.

Hardball,

That is priceless.

How did you like the new comment features? Will they ever deter you from commenting?

1) I get a "kick" out of reading what I wrote in the moment.
2) Feels like a censorship filter that shouldn't apply to the blogosphere.
-- But like, waterboarding, I'm sure the controlling authority will invoke only in extreme circumstances.

So I don't like it.

The Emperor is a Marxist and a liar.

He said (again) that if you make less than $250K p/yr your taxes will not go up by "one dime". His proposal to nationalize the healthcare system is paid for by phasing out the mortgage interest deduction at ~$208K*. The result will be a (significantly) more than "one dime" increase in income tax liability if you're household income exceeds $208K. Thus, he lied. Smart GOP strategists will file this away for campaign 2012. I predict (first) that this will be his "read my lips" moment.

*I believe that $208K will drift to $150K after Congress has its way with the proposal, playing right into the hands of the GOP as they (we) explain to the American people exactly who the BHO Administration thinks is "rich". Exhibit "A" shall be two married teachers (NEA members!) who've worked more than ten years and living in the Northeast. That household earns more than $150K and are "rich". Their mortgage interest will be phased out and their taxes increased by more than one dime. They will be on stage with Mitt, er I mean the GOP nominee.
