Its about time! Worried about being re-elected many Democrats are running away from Pelosi. They are going so far as to run TV ads saying that they are not with her! Does this sound familiar? In 2008 and 2009 there were many Republicans running ads saying they didn't back Bush's policies in efforts to distance themselves from him. The problem was the American people didn't believe it, because of the voting records. Many of these Republicans lost. Both sides of the aisle back then were guilty of spending and so was Bush, so technically all were to blame, except those who apposed the crazy spending bills and earmarks.

Unfortunately, its not the exact same thing this time. The GOP side of the aisle has opposed major legislation including Obamacare and others that are raising the debt to historic levels. These Dems distancing themselves from Pelosi, unfortunately, voted for all of these. So no matter how many ads they run or how they try to run away from her, there's no getting away from the facts. Or that botox'd face. It will probably haunt them well after their career ending election.

Top Democrats are growing markedly more pessimistic about holding the House, privately conceding that the summertime economic and political recovery they were banking on will not likely materialize by Election Day. In conversations with more than two dozen party insiders, most of whom requested anonymity to speak candidly about the state of play, Democrats in and out of Washington say they are increasingly alarmed about the economic and polling data they have seen in recent weeks. Congressional approval ratings are at an all time low. They no longer believe the jobs and housing markets will recover — or that anything resembling the White House’s promise of a “recovery summer” is under way. They are even more concerned by indications that House Democrats once considered safe — such as Rep.Betty Sutton, who occupies an Ohio seat that President Barack Obama won with 57 percent of the vote in 2008 — are in real trouble. This may not just be an attack on democrats, but an attack on congress completely.

Dems are worried and they should be. Polls show Dems losing all over the country. This is typical of Americans though. Let's all go vote Obama into office (big mistake) and then see the economy get worse even after all that stimulus which basically did absolutely nothing at all. Congress will be in gridlock for the next 2 years, Hillary will go against Obama (if he seeks another term) and she will win the DEM nomination. Republicans need to make sure they get something done. They cry alot these days and crying doesn't help at all.

Who said there weren’t any jobs out there? Speak Ebonics? Here is your chance to work for the DEA!

The agency is serious about needing nine people to translate conversations picked up on wiretaps during investigations, Special Agent Michael Sanders said Tuesday. A solicitation was sent to contractors as part of a request to companies to provide hundreds of translators in 114 languages.

"DEA's position is, it's a language form we have a need for," Sanders said. "I think it's a language form that DEA recognizes a need to have someone versed in to conduct investigations."
They are needed in Atlanta, Washington, New Orleans and Miami. If you graduated with a degree in linguistics, hopefully you studied some Ebonics. That may be a requirement to get the job.

If Harry Reid loses in November it will be a major blow to the Democratic Party. One of the main reasons is because his opponent, Sharron Angle, is relatively unknown and Reid should not lose to such an unknown candidate. This is supposed to help Reid, but according to polls it’s not helping. Angle has an ace in the hole and that is the economy. She will prove that under Reid’s leadership the economy got worse, not better. The ironic thing is that both candidates are becoming more and more unliked by voters. Nearly eight of 10 voters who remain undecided or who don't like Angle or Reid say they, too, would have preferred if the staunch conservative hadn't won the June 8 primary over her more moderate foes. And 58 percent of such nonaligned voters say they wish Reid hadn't won the Democratic nomination, suggesting a majority of Nevadans are unhappy with their choices. Reid is confident however that he will pull out a victory. We’ll have to wait and see. Personally I think Reid will lose, but there will be a re-count, he will not go down gentle into that good night unfortunately.

Bye bye Harry!

The title of this was the title of a piece on Reuters UK today on Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speech about Barack Obama. “Iran's supreme leader said on Thursday the United States was deeply hated in the Middle East and told U.S. President Barack Obama that "beautiful" speeches alone would not improve its image in the Muslim world.” More specifically, “Even if they give sweet and beautiful talks to the Muslim nation ... that will not create a change.” Khamenei said.

So I suppose this confirms the hypothesis in a previous article of mine where I mentioned that Obama loves to give his speeches but unfortunately people don’t want to listen to poetic talk, they want action. Obama still wants to sit down with Iran? Why would he waste everyone’s time? It’s clear they could care less about the U.S. And they certainly could care less about Israel. Khamenei made reference to them as a “cancerous tumor in the heart.” That is very flattering.

Obama’s speech today, again, was apologetic to the Arab world. Obama is trying to sweet talk Muslim nations so that he can be responsible for a big peace effort in the Middle East. (Another Jimmy Carter) But what Obama does not realize is that the majority of Muslim nations in the Middle East are not interested in peace. They are so peeved, and have been for over 30 years, at the United States, that sweet talking them and pandering to them will not solve this problem. Obama cannot solve the Iran nuclear issue this way. Moreover, Obama is alienating the one jewel of the Middle East which is Israel. He basically dissolved George W. Bush’s policy that permitted Israel to increase the number of settlers in communities that Israel wants to retain if the Palestinians establish an independent state. Above all else, Obama is snubbing Israel by not even including a stop there during this trip to the Middle East.

Obama’s inexperience is showing and no matter how many speeches you make you can’t change the facts that there are real threats in this world that care more about themselves than you. They are willing to blow themselves up for their religion and they are willing to create Armageddon to obtain their goal of martyrdom. I really don’t think Obama is checking his email account on that Blackberry otherwise he would have gotten the memo on this.
