Morning Briefing
For December 6, 2013

1. Is the President Smoking Weed Again?
The
President is either high or ignorant, though perhaps we should embrace
the healing power of “and.” He posits that if the nation raises the
minimum wage, there will be an economic boom.
Only
in leftwing fantasy land and Das Kapital does such a concept even come
close to being credible. What’s worse, via his twitter account his
minion tweeted out an info graphic making the case. One can only assume
this is why he does not want poor children in Louisiana to get a better
education. If they did, they’d quickly realize the President is full of .
. . choom maybe?
In
the land of unicorn farts that powers the Obama Administration — that
magical land where the bad thoughts of Republicans can obstruct
Obamacare — diverting capital to mandated wage increases can cause an
economic boom. But in reality, it does not work that way.
At the same time the President is pushing
this, he is also speechifying against inequality. The media has gone
gaga over his speech, but here too the President has shown a deep
ignorance. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
2. Obama Offers The GOP Distractions
The
Democrat party is in disarray. It is led by a pathological liar who has
no credibility with the nation or with anyone but the most mindless
partisans in the media and Congress. As Obamacare continues to be a
veritable Pandora’s Box of evils seemingly designed to drive insurance
companies out of the business and strip most Americans of their health
insurance, vulnerable Democrat officials are looking for ways to
distance themselves from both the man and his plan. Louisiana Senatory
Mary Landrieu found an urgent engagement elsewhere when Obama showed up
to give a speech in New Orleans. Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor has been
reduced to blaming Jesus for his Obamacare vote.
In face of this the Democrats have returned to their old standby: misrepresentation and diversion. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
3. Beware the menace of unity
The
House Judiciary Committee held hearings on Barack Obama’s abuse of power
this week, leading to a good deal of dismissive commentary and general
neglect from the media, because apparently it’s not even worth talking
about the proper checks and balances of government power if you’re not
ready to impeach the President as the grand finale. It’s
too bad more attention was not paid to the hearings, because there was
much powerful criticism of the imperial presidency, not all of it from
conservative Republicans. Law
professor Jonathan Turley of George Washington University warned that
Obama has “become the very danger the Constitution was designed to
avoid.” That’s pretty heavy talk. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
