Obama's Deafening Silence on Iranian Protests

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann says that she will not answer all of the questions in the Census.

 

The Treasury Department will auction a record $104 billion in debt next week, which will of course need to be paid back by tax dollars from future generations of Americans.

 

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs responded to criticism from former President Bush by saying "we won."  Too bad you weren't running against Bush.

 

The Senate yesterday passed a resolution apologizing for slavery.  This is just a massive waste of time, meant to throw a bone to race pimps.  Nobody in the Senate ever actually owned a slave (even former KKK Exalted Cyclops Robert Byrd).

 

As the Norks prepare to fire a missile towards Hawaii on July 4, Defense Secretary Robert Gates says "I think we are in a good position, should it become necessary, to protect American territory."  The statement should be "We can, and will, protect American territory."  Meanwhile, the Navy is set to intercept a North Korean ship suspected of carrying weapons proliferation materials, which may be in violation of the toothless UN resolution passed in response to the Norks' last round of tests.

 

Iranian quasi-dictator Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is now threatening demonstrators with violence.  The Obama administration continues to be silent, while Congress has now passed a resolution standing with the Iranian protestors.  Charles Krauthammer bashes President Obama for his unwillingness to "meddle" in the Iranian election, and the Ayatollah is still criticizing America for interference.

 

The Wall Street Journal says the same thing I've been saying:  that $1.6 trillion Obamacare estimate is going to end up being much lower than the actual cost.  Maybe that's why the House is looking for new taxes to raise to pay for this monstrosity.

 

President Obama cited the Bible this morning to justify his big government programs.

 

Apparently the top priority at the United States Naval Academy is diversity (h/t Ace of Spades).

 

As Congress prepares to move on the job-killing cap-and-trade bill, Democrat strategists are telling them to stop talking about global warming.  Maybe they realize that in most of the country there's no global warming.

 

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will not be included in the Obama administration's new set of financial regulations.  Why would they be?  They're already nationalized.

 

Chubby people live longer than skinny people.  I guess this is good news for me.

 

The National Education Association is trying to keep military families from getting vouchers by lying about their effectiveness.

 

Two school administrators who cheated on the CRCT have been arrested for altering public documents.  I told you there were some criminal charges to be filed here.

 

The state has spent over $216 million on a pre-kindergarten program without any proof that it is working.
