The 18 Countries With a Better Credit Rating Than the United States

Remember when Barack Obama said that he really didn’t believe in American exceptionalism?




Well, thanks to President Obama and his big spending ways to take away from those who work to give to those who don’t work at all, the U.S. has become a second rate nation.

Gateway Pundit says “Thank you, Barack Obama! Thank you, democrats!”

GOPers showing signs of caving to Obama and raise taxes

The talk is all over the ‘net and talk-radio is that the establishment Republicans in Washington led by John Boehner and Eric Cantor will cower and cave to President Obama and the Dems because they lack the political courage to stand firm. I hope it’s not true, but I won’t be surprised if this feckless bunch gives in.

I have long labeled this bunch of Republicans The Pussies-R-Us because the name aptly describes the character of these men to act more like scared women than tough nonsense men that don’t shrivel up and die at the latest utterance of Liberal demagoguery.

What happens next ain’t gonna be pretty for GOPers running for re-election.

Don’t do it, boys!

Romney, Palin Lead Reduced GOP Field for 2012, Cain tied for 3rd place

While Palin and Romney are getting the lion’s share of the in this latest poll, the bigger story is that Herman Cain is right in the mix of things. The Cain camp no doubt must be very well pleased.

So am I!

Gallup

Mitt Romney (17%) and Sarah Palin (15%) now lead a smaller field of potential Republican presidential candidates in rank-and-file Republicans' preferences for the party's 2012 nominee. Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, and Herman Cain essentially tie for third, with Cain registering 8% support in his initial inclusion in Gallup "trial heat" polling. Notably, 22% of Republicans do not have a preference at this point.

The May 20-24 poll is the first update of Republican nomination preferences after a recent flurry of activity in the race for the 2012 nomination, with several formally declaring their presidential candidacies, including Paul, Gingrich, Tim Pawlenty, and Cain.

Perhaps as significant were the decisions by Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump, and Mitch Daniels to forgo the race. In Gallup's April update, Huckabee and Trump were the co-leaders, with Huckabee placing first in the other Gallup updates this year.

Of the 10 candidates included in the newly reduced list, 7 have either officially announced their candidacies or established exploratory committees. Jon Huntsman and Michele Bachmann are nearing decisions and are expected to get in the race, while Palin's status as a candidate is less certain.

Re-allocating Palin supporters' votes to the candidate who is their second choice gives a sense of where current preferences would stand without Palin in the mix. Under this scenario, Romney leads with 19%, followed by Gingrich and Paul with 12% each.

Israel Expects Obama to Take Back ‘1967 Lines’ Demand

It didn’t take long for Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu to throw it back in Obama’s face after he was thrown under the bus.


Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was quick on the draw Thursday in voicing clear displeasure with President Barack Obama’s mideast policy speech.

“Israel appreciates President Obama’s commitment to peace,” the response began, curtly. “Israel believes that for peace to endure between Israelis and Palestinians, the viability of a Palestinian state cannot come at the expense of the viability of the one and only Jewish state.”

I think Obama really doesn’t grasp the damage he’s caused today and how Israel’s enemies will be embolden knowing the president of the United States is no longer a supporter of Israel.

Obama is insane!
