This and That for Wednesday

~~~ Gerald Ford “liberated” Poland during a debate with Jimmy Carter in 1976. Not only did he mess up big time he compounded it with follow up comments that at that time Poland was not an Iron Curtain country. In essence he liberated it.

Presidential speeches and public pronouncements need to be vetted so as not to insert one’s big foot down one’s throat to the knee. President Smartass managed to do it again, this time he did something even the Nazis in World War II were unable to do, which was to blame Poland for the Holocaust which occurred there namely millions killed by the criminal war machine of the Germans.

I think based on all the foot in mouth moments our president has had we have been fed a bill of goods about how smart he is. The reality is he reads a teleprompter very well but his brain is a vacant lot and it is becoming a national embarrassment.

Time for Obama to join Jerry Ford as a president defeated in his reelection bid.

“We can’t accept such words in Poland, even if they are spoken by a leader of an allied country,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk told journalists in Warsaw today. “Saying Polish concentration camps is as if there was no German responsibility, no Hitler.”

~~~ Reuters has vetted Mitt Romney’s birth records and determined he is legal as a candidate.

~~~ Political campaigns are seldom won. Most are lost and often from unexpected quarters. Such is the case of Elizabeth Warren, candidate for the Democrat nomination for the US Senate. A group of more than 150 Cherokees—enrolled Cherokees and descendants from the three federally recognized Cherokee tribes; the Cherokee Nation, the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians—demanded today that Warren tell the truth about her "Cherokee" ancestry and identity.

Political careers Massachusetts Democrats nominate her at their upcoming convention and/or don’t give her opponent for the Democrat nomination they will most assuredly bring down their own party’s chances in November.

~~~ Texas has put Mitt Romney over the top. He now has more than the minimum delegated to be nominated on the first ballot at the GOP National Convention this summer. In other words, he’s a certainty now and it’s time to bury our hatchets and pull together to retire Barack Obama.

~~~ Do you want a shocker? Planned Parenthood has endorsed Barack Obama. Isn’t that a real headshaker?

Cya tomorrow.

This and That for Tuesday

~~~ Some of the biggest questions just ahead of us will be dictated by the Supreme Court’s decision concerning the constitutionality of Obama Care. What if the court strikes down the measure as many think will happen? Simple, the congress will need to pass legislation to close whatever gaps may exist as a result of such a decision.

That gets us to the question of, what if it’s ratified. That would make it a very potent electoral question for November. That would create political blood in the streets. More likely will be some parts of it will be struck down and other parts allowed to stand. Whatever the answer, the issue will be center stage for the election.

We should know for sure in the next few weeks.

~~~ Are we ready to surrender our sovereignty to the UN through a proposal? The Rio+20 Conference on June 16th, the global/green coalition will push to establish an EPA under the UN with power to force compliance with global environmental standards! In other grant the UN to circumvent our rights for which we virtually no recourse.

Listen to this and weep and then act: http://www.dickmorris.com/stop-the-proposed-un-epa-dick-morris-tv-lunch-alert/

~~~ The more polls we see the greater the realization that Americans are disappointed at the choice we have for president. We read in most polls there is a bout a 50% dissatisfaction rate with the candidates. As silly as it seems this benefits Mitt Romney because Democrats are more likely to stay home on Election Day than Republicans if they are not motivated. Keep in mind it was a terrifically unified Democrat Party which gave us Barack Obama in the first place. All polling indicates the new Democrat voters in 2008 are not at all excited by Obama. There is a growing realization he is not a miracle man, the statue they now see has clay feet.

Obama’s electoral fall will have the reverse of coat tails for Democrat house and senate candidates across the country. The smart money is on a serious gain by the GOP in both houses, especially the senate which could see a Republican growth there to 55 or more winners.

The only fly in the ointment could be a lame duck session of the congress. They could do a great deal of damage, much of which will be irreparable.

Fasten your seat belts, the next seven months will be a real roller coaster ride.

~~~ Have you seen Democrats falling into line to defend the liar plagiarist Elizabeth Warren’s campaign? Not here. That we have little information on that is Warren does have some Democrat opposition. It is not yet time to collect signatures to get on the ballot in November. It will be interesting to see if Democrats will throw in the towel in the race for Teddy Kennedy’s old seat.

Immigration lawyer Marisa DeFranco is currently the only other Democrat still standing. I wonder if it is possible the Democrat nomination is not pursued.

The Democrat state convention is this weekend and DeFranco will challenge there. She will need 15% of the delegates to be ballot eligible for the primary.

Of course the party fathers could choose a yet unmentioned candidate as well.

Have a good night.

Memorial Day 2012

Good morning and thank you for your patience with me. I am feeling much better today and plan a cemetery visit and then a baseball game in Newport this afternoon at 6.

Memorial Day is not merely a holiday but in many ways sacred in American history, it is far more than an opportunity to light the grill and welcome summer.

There is hardly an American family which has not been touched by war and the heartbreaks at the loss of loved ones who sacrificed their life for our freedom. The reality is freedom isn’t free. Someone pays the price, often with life and limb. Virtually all those who have paid with their lives were young, healthy and had a full life in front of them.

A heavy price has been paid for which we enjoy our liberty. From the first to soldier to fall in the Revolutionary War to someone killed in Afghanistan today, Americans have paid for freedom with their lives.

Our children and grandchildren each in their own time have learned what the sacrifice is all about. To our son in law Jon Rose who has served in Afghanistan and Iraq to my old friend Marine Sgt. Mjr. Glenn Golba who has spent time in some  of the hellholes of the universe and many more who are unable to make roll call today a sincere and heartfelt thanks.

God Bless our honorable soldiers and God Bless the USA.

This and That for Friday

~~~ You need to know more about the Law of the Sea Treaty. Why? Because it works abainst our best interest. Here is four minutes well spent.

http://www.dickmorris.com/law-of-sea-treaty-hearings-today-dick-morris-tv-lunch-alert/

~~~ All indicators, especially polling done using probable voters (as opposed to simply registered voters) indicate the likelihood of a defeat of landslide proportions in the presidential race. The president’s campaign is still trying to find a theme. They cannot run on their record and have already begin the down and dirty campaigning usually withheld for use at the end of a race. We get the sense there is a feeling of fatality to this race.

While the above is good news electorally it is bad news for how a bunch of far left ideologues may cast about to institute all they can to implement all their liberal fantasies. Obama told the Russian president wait until I am reelected and we will do things we can’t even think aloud about before the election.

We must not only defeat Obama and his merry men in the congress we must gird ourselves for the battle created in their political death gasp. A lame duck congress can be very dangerous. Add to that the fact lots of treatises could be floated through a sayonara session of the senate. After November 6^th nothing will be safe. Lock up the women and children and post the 24 hour guard.

Get ready for the race card to be played so hard it will reopen old race wounds. Obama will most certainly go down hard but you can count on continued divisiveness until the national media tire of covering his whimpering.

~~~ In a lead in to a Howie Carr article on the dems fem fatal the editor of Lucianne.com had the following to say:

	Another taxing problem for Elizabeth Warren……. What next? A pilgrim costume? This silly woman with an identity crisis should just pack it in. Here’s Howie’s article: http://www.bostonherald.com/news/columnists/view/20120525another_taxing_problem_for_ elizabeth_warren/srvc=home&position=2
	~~~ Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich tells Newsmax there is “increasing speculation” that Vice President Joe Biden could be dropped from the ticket — and he cites Hillary Clinton as his possible replacement. Sorry Newt, it won’t make any difference. Besides dumping Biden for Clinton could cost the Democrats the clown vote. The Dems need all the clowns they can get to vote for them and we could add a magician or two to their cause. More tomorrow. Ciao…….Moe Lauzier

This and That for  Wednesday and Thursday

Sorry for no posts for yesterday and today. I had a medical procedure for an problem which has lingered for far too long.  I thought I'd be home early enough to post yesterday; I was wrong. This is my first time on the computer since I posted on Tuesday and don't feel up to applying myself to doing one today. Typing is difficult today but my doctor said I should be back to normal by tomorrow.

With all that is taking place I should have no shortage of topics to discuss with you. As always I appreciate very much your regular visitation.

I would like to thank and express gratitude for the fine medical staff at Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River, Massachusetts. They not only provided fine medical care they put me at ease. Whatever good health I now have is thanks in large part to competent doctors and kind and caring nurses.

Ciao.......Moe Lauzier

This and That for Tuesday

~~~ Did you catch the press conference from Chicago yesterday? So the president wants a stimulus package for Greece. He sees it as fair to the people of Greece and part of his I’m my brother’s keep approach to things.

~~~ No wonder evolution takes a long time, it brings real consequences. Of course, when the "evolving" we are talking about is Obama's changing position on gay marriage, those consequences are not about natural selection, but November election. And there, evolution's consequences may be just as serious.

Looking at polls now starting to measure the public's reaction to Obama's changed position and you understand why he did not want to be forced to do this prior to Election Day.

~~~ Jed Babbin in The American Spectator has a knack of distilling some of our problems to their lowest common denominator in a very succinct way. It's more and more difficult to write about the Islamist war against Western civilization. Not because there is too little to write, or because the fronts in that war are quiet. It's tough to do because fewer people seem to give a damn each week.

~~~ I had a nightmare last night. Her ladyship Hillary Clinton was nominated for veep. She’s not nearly the fun or fodder than current mouth of the year Joltin Joe Biden.

~~~ Catholic colleges, dioceses, schools, universities and charitable organizations have launched a broad strike against the Obama administration regarding the contraceptive mandate by the Health and Human Services department.

Notre Dame, Franciscan University of Steubenville, and dozens of Catholic hospitals and organizations have filed a total of 12 lawsuits today against Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and the Obama administration over the controversial HHS mandate.

Among the plaintiffs are the Archdioceses of New York, Washington, D.C., and St. Louis, as well as the Dioceses of Dallas, Ft. Worth, Rockville Centre, Pittsburgh, and the Michigan Catholic Conference, which represents all seven dioceses in the state.

Just last week Franciscan University in Steubenville reported it will close its student health care program as of August 15, 2012 because the college will not comply with the HHS directives to cover contraceptives in its health plan.

Notre Dame's president, Fr. John Jenkins weighs in:

Let me say very clearly what this lawsuit is not about: it is not about preventing women from having access to contraception, nor even about preventing the Government from providing such services.

This filing is about the freedom of a religious organization to live its mission, and its significance goes well beyond any debate about contraceptives. For if we concede that the Government can decide which religious organizations are sufficiently religious to be awarded the freedom to follow the principles that define their mission, then we have begun to walk down a path that ultimately leads to the undermining of those institutions.

A big Amen to Father Jenkens.

Obama's actions have galvanized disparate personalities within the Catholic Church, i.e., conservatives and liberals like Jenkins of Notre Dame; the president surely knew this would happen if he pushed the church too far. Obviously, he doesn't care.

He has one mission in mind: force religious institutions to relinquish rights to religious freedom and become servants of the State.

~~~ At campaign headquarters, the Obama gang is in full meltdown mode after Newark Mayor Cory Booker went off script, undermining and mocking "what this campaign is going to be about."

ABC said of the comments the Obama campaign is in full damage-control mode one day after Newark Mayor Cory Booker publicly derided Democrats’ assault on presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney over his record at Bain Capital.

Chief Obama apologist David Axelrod publicly rebuked the mayor, a popular surrogate for the campaign, saying he was “just wrong.”

“I love Cory Booker. He’s a great mayor. If I were, if my house was on fire, I’d hope he were my next door neighbor,” Axelrod said on MSNBC, referring to Booker’s rescue of a neighbor last month.

“I agree with what he said later. I think this was a legitimate area for discussion,” Axelrod said of Booker’s subsequent comments clarifying the issue.

But Booker isn't the only Democrat already tired and made uncomfortable by Obama's divisive

If Obama loses the Bain Capital battle, he'll probably lose the election. All a failed incumbent can do is toxify their opponent into some unelectable, and this is a failed incumbent who has staked his entire campaign on divisive class warfare and envy.

Team Obama is in a panic because their entire playbook is falling apart.

~~~ Is Barak Obama a wunderkind or dumb Kopf? The truth may be somewhere in between, sort of where George Bush was at Yale. Since Obama’s academic record has been kept a national secret we’ll never know for sure but we can make some educated guesses.

The administration can never be accused of modesty in any way. With that thought in mind we can only wonder why all the secrecy surrounding anything resembling Obama’s past. The White House is positively secret about anything Obama.

Here’s an article which may explain the paranoia in protecting us from personal knowledge about the most powerful man in the world. Somehow we smell a rat in this woodpile. Read this and tell me how well you sleep tonight with this man at the helm:

Have a nice day. We’ll attempt to put something together for tomorrow since we’ll be away most of the day.

This and That for Monday

~~~ Robin Gibb, RIP

~~~ Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell said cconcerning the blame for long-term U.S. debt, "We all know that it's on the entitlement side. So at some point here, this president needs to become the adult because the speaker and I have been the adults in the room arguing that we ought to do something about the nation's most serious long-term problem."

The White House has all the earmarks of a kiddy corps. What leadership? None, flat out, none.

~~~ You may not believe this but Barack Obama and Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren have more in common than just their left wing political ideology, Harvard Law connection, and Democratic Party affiliation. Both claim Cherokee ancestry, and neither can prove it. Please put on a shocked look.

Warren's claims are current and well known, but President Obama's claims were made back in 1995, when his memoir, Dreams from My Father, was published. On pages 12 and 13 of the 2004 paperback edition, the President unequivocally asserts his Cherokee ancestry:

In Obama’s case he says he asked, Toot [Obama’s maternal grandmother, Madelyne Payne Dunham] would turn her head in profile to show off her beaked nose, which, along with a pair of jet-black eyes, was offered as proof of Cherokee blood.

Heck, I have a large proboscis. Maybe I can claim Indian heritage. Yeah, sure.

Unlike Warren, no one has ever alleged that President Obama may have secured employment due to his claim of Native American ancestry. Like Ms. Warren, however, the President puts forth his claim with emphatic certitude, although until now no one has sought to ask him to provide evidence to prove it.

~~~ Based on what we know now about Elizabeth Warren’s Pow Wow Chow we now understand her main ingredient is more bull than anything else.

~~~ The Boston Celtics are in a ‘gotta win’ situation tonight. Tied at two wins each the Celtics are like a team in a best of three series. They need a good performance or they will surrender the series lead to with play returning to Philadelphia.

~~~  Only three days after the U.S. Free Trade Agreement with Colombia went into effect, the U.S. government began issuing permits for importing the Obamas’ favorite vegetable -- arugula.

“We are advising the public of our decision to begin issuing permits for the importation into the continental United States of fresh celery, arugula, and spinach from Colombia,” stated the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

The Administration issued the notice in the Federal Register on Friday, saying the leafy greens can be safely imported, based on the results of three pest-risk analyses.

As a candidate for president in 2007, Mr. Obama famously mentioned arugula during a campaign stop in Iowa. “Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?"

Obama’s reference to a salad green often found in expensive restaurants – and to Whole Foods, an upscale grocery store not found in Iowa at that time – had Obama’s critics painting him as an elitist.

I wonder, with his propensity for McDonalds’ fare if we will next see a presidential order for fast food restaurants to offer arugula.

~~~ Nearly two-thousand Americans have lost their lives in Afghanistan and Hamid Karzai thanks us for our monetary help. The man has all the tact and diplomacy of a jack hammer.

~~~ Oops, what is happening with the price of Facebook stock? I guess the amateurs got in early and now the professional traders are eating their collective lunches. How far will the slide go? Drudge referred to is as Fadebook.

C ya tomorrow.
