			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is beyond shocking to see a lynch mob occurring right in front of us, demonstrating the inhumanity and uncivilized behavior of <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">people</span> animals. Personally, I’m disgusted at what I am witnessing, at the poor corporate citizenship demonstrated by Twitter, and at the impotent response of federal, state, and local law enforcement. (And people wonder why many of us ‘cling to our guns’ and demand respect for the Second Amendment right to bear arms.)</p>

<p>If there was ever an educational moment for Obama, this is it.</p>
<p><span id="more-396"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://theindependentview.com/is-this-obama-justice-a-race-motivated-lynch-mob/4-23-2012-13-58-38/" rel="attachment wp-att-398"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-398" title="4-23-2012 13-58-38" src="http://theindependentview.com/files/2012/04/4-23-2012-13-58-38.png" alt="" width="442" height="330" /></a></p>
<p>Obama should take to the bully pulpit, teleprompter and all, to announce that he has ordered the FBI and Justice Department to investigate and prosecute anyone who threatens a judge or citizen. He should then go on to remind everyone that we are a nation of laws, that justice will be served by the court and that Mr. Zimmerman is, just as some claim of Mr. Martin, innocent until proven otherwise.</p>
<p><a href="http://theindependentview.com/is-this-obama-justice-a-race-motivated-lynch-mob/mexican/" rel="attachment wp-att-399"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-399" title="mexican" src="http://theindependentview.com/files/2012/04/mexican.png" alt="" width="442" height="184" /></a></p>
<p>Anything less and Obama is simply continuing to incite mob violence and deserves immediate impeachment.</p>
<p><a href="http://theindependentview.com/is-this-obama-justice-a-race-motivated-lynch-mob/jawan4-23-2012-13-57-49/" rel="attachment wp-att-400"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-400" title="jawan4-23-2012 13-57-49" src="http://theindependentview.com/files/2012/04/jawan4-23-2012-13-57-49.png" alt="" width="442" height="205" /></a></p>
<p>Will Obama show some presidential leadership?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Update: </strong> Santorum came unhinged Sunday in Wisconsin, virtually doubling down on his ‘vote Obama over Romney’ recommendation last week.  More at bottom.</p>
<p><strong>Update 2: </strong>See CBS video of Santorum at bottom.</p>
<p>Is Santorum out to win the election or destroy the Republican party?  As a wanna-be nominee with almost as little chance of getting the nomination as Gingrich, Santorum is proving himself unsuitable in every aspect.  Despicable, extreme, and even un-American.</p>
<p>The latest stupidity from Santorum is his Obama-Ahmadinejad ad.</p>
<p><iframe width="450" height="253" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DApjHZq9o7M" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span id="more-391"></span></p>
<p>This tops his Obama over Romney recommendation.</p>
<p><iframe width="450" height="253" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-3XjGXEp8ec" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p> </p>
<p>First, what kind of candidate recommends party members vote for the opposition party instead of their own?  Isn’t our problem Obama?!</p>
<p>Second, no matter the reason, there is no justification to equate an American president, even if it is Obama, with Ahmadinejad.  None.</p>
<p>Taken together, is Santorum recommending Americans, Republicans specifically, to vote for an Ahmadinejad-like candidate?</p>
<p>Is Santorum really this irrational and destructive?  Regardless of Santorum’s subsequent back-peddling and dissembling, he cannot undo his offensive statements.</p>
<p>Santorum and Gingrich make Romney look ever presidential, sane, and grown-up.  Lucky for us, beyond comparison with these two, Romney really is a respectable and very welcome alternative to Obama.  But, can we say the same for Santorum and Gingrich after their self-destructive behavior during this current campaign?</p>
<p><strong>Update: </strong> CBS News is reporting Sunday night that Santorum described Romney in Wisconsin as “the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama.” Further, that Republicans should “pick any other Republican in the country” than GOP presidential front-runner Romney.  (<a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57404222-503544/santorum-romney-worst-republican-to-face-obama/">CBS News Political Hotsheet</a>)  When pressed in followup with Jeff Zeleny at New York Times, Santorum accused the reporter of lying, saying he (Santorum) was only talking about health care.   “If I see it [in print], it’s bull(expletive).”</p>
<p><strong>Update 2: </strong>Here is the CBS video of Santorum coming unglued Sunday.  Incredible.</p>

<p><span id="more-361"></span></p>
<p>Now, about Ms. Fluke. Yell at me all you want, but she is a S-L-U-T, capital letters and all.  She clearly has no morals, no self-respect.  Did we really need to know about her sexual habits?  I wonder how proud her parents are of her sex-crazed lifestyle at school? And a boyfriend?  At this point she’s announced to the world that she’s easy.  Maybe that Super Bowl commercial about giving flowers for sex was written for Ms. Fluke?</p>
<p>Seriously, if she wants to take birth control, go for it. She can reportedly buy it for about $9 per month at a nearby Target, bet even cheaper at Wal-Mart.  That’s less than $120 per year. Surely she can afford it, maybe ask mommy and daddy to cover it, or, maybe even her sex partners?  Now I’ll bet that’d be seriously cheaper than those Super Bowl recommended flowers.</p>
<p>Okay, yell away…</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BTW, surely there’s story in Obama wasting no time to call Ms. Fluke.  Is Michelle out of town?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cain is undermining the Republican party, he’s a fifth column that will lead to Obama’s re-election.  Any proposal to create “opportunity zones” without minimum wage is a non-starter and tars the Republican party with extremeist nonsense.  Seriously, this only pads corporate cronies that set up shop in these areas and forces the taxpayer to foot the bill for worker’s other costs–foodstamps, healthcare, etc.–that simply can’t be bought with a slave wage more suitable in the 3rd world, not the U.S.</p>
<p><span id="more-233"></span></p>
<p>Personally, Cain is spouting this nonsense for the publicity as comments like this simply define his unelectability in the general election.</p>

<p>Mr. Carney, No, we cannot move on.  In introducing the president, Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. The president has made a habit of surrounding himself with people like Hoffa, then saying he didn’t hear their hate and incitement. Recall Ayers, Rev. Wright, and others. The president is now the leader of the country and it is time for him to show some respect for Americans, to walk the talk of civility that he calls for, and renounce the words of his friend Hoffa. Anything less, “can we move on”, simply says Obama agrees with Hoffa and is through proxies calling for incitement against fellow Americans.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The One is no more.  As Governor Palin noted a few months back, <a title="Lame Duck President " href="http://sarahpac.com/posts/lame-duck-president" target="_blank">Barack Obama is a Lame Duck</a>.  Now, even Maureen Dowd recognizes this and abandons Obama.</p>
<blockquote style="position:relative"><p class="quoter1 quoter2">“</p><p>The leader who was once a luminescent, inspirational force is now just a guy in a really bad spot.”–Maureen Dowd</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-192"></span></p>
<p>Yep, Maureen Dowd has abandoned Obama, writing “<a title="One and Done?" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/04/opinion/dowd-one-and-done.html?_r=1" target="_blank">One and Done?</a>” in the New York Times.  <strong>This is a must read</strong>.  A few highlights:</p>
<blockquote style="position:relative"><p class="quoter1 quoter2">“</p><p>Obama’s re-election chances depend on painting the Republicans as disrespectful. So why would the White House act disrespectful by scheduling a speech to a joint session of Congress at the exact time when the Republicans already had a debate planned?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And why is the White House so cocky about Obama as a TV draw against quick-draw Rick Perry? As James Carville acerbically noted, given a choice between watching an Obama speech and a G.O.P. debate, “I’d watch the debate, and I’m not even a Republican.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The White House caved, of course, and moved to Thursday, because there’s nothing the Republicans say that he won’t eagerly meet halfway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No. 2 on David Letterman’s Top Ten List of the president’s plans for Labor Day: “Pretty much whatever the Republicans tell him he can do.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>…Obama can’t turn into F.D.R. for the campaign because he aspires to the class that F.D.R. was a traitor to; and he can’t turn into Harry Truman because he lacks the common touch. He has an acquired elitism.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If the languid Obama had not done his usual irritating fourth-quarter play, if he had presented a jobs plan a year ago and fought for it, he wouldn’t have needed to elevate the setting. How will he up the ante next time? A speech from the space station?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Obama is still suffering from the Speech Illusion, the idea that he can come down from the mountain, read from a Teleprompter, cast a magic spell with his words and climb back up the mountain, while we scurry around and do what he proclaimed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The days of spinning illusions in a Greek temple in a football stadium are done. The One is dancing on the edge of one term.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The White House team is flailing — reacting, regrouping, retrenching. It’s repugnant.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After pushing and shoving and caving to get on TV, the president’s advisers immediately began warning that the long-yearned-for jobs speech wasn’t going to be that awe-inspiring.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“The issue isn’t the size or the newness of the ideas,” one said. “It’s less the substance than how he says it, whether he seizes the moment.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The arc of justice is stuck at the top of a mountain. Maybe Obama was not even the person he was waiting for.</p></blockquote>
