Supportive Press Corps Asks Not a Single Question About Obama Blowing off Paris

Not a press corps at all. Why bother? What is the point?

Are we supposed to pretend there is a purpose to this?

Meanwhile, Jonah Goldberg wonders what possible point there is to the White House's fantastical claims that terrorism carried out by Islamists for Islamist goals has nothing at all to do with Islamism.

Charles Krauthammer is likewise baffled by Obama's determination to pretend Islamic Terrorism simply doesn't exist.

Set some kind of rules that each political party gets to pick some of the members of the WH press corps and some # of Qs have to come from each party's journos. This would be only a small help right now with the beltway GOPes picking journalists but it would be a small step.

He had a reporter who covered the Capitol, was discussing various Senators.

He mentioned that Elizabeth Warren was always being followed by a gaggle of reporters. They are, no doubt, fascinated by her. I doubt it is about covering her GAFFES!

I think it's more of a passive-aggressive contempt rather than a full-blown loathing. That would take too much focus.

Romney noted that he was raised in the Detroit area, which has a large Muslim population. "They are peace-loving and America-loving individuals. I believe that very sincerely. I believe people of the Islamic faith do not have to subscribe to the idea of radical, violent jihadism."

131 Simple:
Obama is a communist who enjoys the destruction of all things Western, especially Judeo-Christian elements of culture. He is assisted by the Mainstream Media who are universally (except for a tiny minority) communists and various socialist radicals themselves. None of these Enemies of the Constitution are self-aware or self-critical enough to recognize their wicked and debased natures - in fact, to even use such words are forbidden and double-plus ungood.

The MSM will never criticize their President and will never present the truth if a lie will serve their aims and goals. The only thing that they will ever do is evil. The only questions they will ever present to Obama are politically self-serving.

They will always portray our enemies as downtrodden and will always agitate against our nation.

All of them are evil and should be exiled in the old fashion. We cannot be free men and women until their power is destroyed and their wickedness exposed and taught.

137 Obama and the Left's idea is that we have to treat Terrorism like crime and natural disasters. Sure, occasionally something horrific will happen and a bunch of people will die, but life goes on and there's no point getting too worked up about it.

That's honestly their tactic here. It's a conscious choice to not react, not act like it's a big deal. A terrorist killing a dozen people vs a dozen people dying in a tornado or overturned bus on a highway ... same-same, sometimes shit happens.

168 On a more positive note, the SpaceX video in the sidebar is worth watching. Although the attempted return of the Falcon 9 first stage last Saturday ended in failure, nobody has ever tried this before in almost 60 years of orbital launches. That they came so close is very heartening.

In case you can't tell from the video, that stage is about 14 stories tall. When it separated from the rest of the rocket it was about 40 miles high and traveling at over 4000 mph. The landing deck on the ship is about the size of a football field. Imagine what that looks like in the middle of the ocean from 40 miles up.

I'm very happy and a little surprised that SpaceX chose to release this video. They never did release any official video of the F9R accident in Texas last year (the only video I've seen was taken by an amateur on public property). They also have never released video of the first Falcon 1 launch in 2006, which fell into the ocean 30 seconds after liftoff.

The next launch is scheduled for Jan. 29, and they will try to recover that first stage as well. Based on lessons learned from this attempt, I think they have a very good chance of success.

184 Since someone socked Medved up above, my occasional Medved jaw-dropper report. Today that near-parodical representation of a clueless, high-school-popularity-driven "pundit" informed his audience that Romney lost moderates, based on exit polls, in 2012.

Huh? Didn't Romney win "moderates" by a ginormous margin? WTF?

This was all part of a labored response to a caller who urged a "bigger tent" GOP. And Mitt won "conservatives", you see. So the problem remains getting those pesky "moderates". WTF?

Even better, Medved actually, literally today equated stupid sports with politics, parties and teams. Said a Seattle fan might not like all Seahawk players equally, etc., but "they're your team" - and so with the GOP. They're "your team". Mind boggling.

You see, if "your team" is delivering disastrous results, going along with the most offensive, destructive, and irresponsible policies of the insane opposition, and otherwise proving they need to be replaced, you need to support them. "Your" team, dude.

The vapid, pernicious idiocy in America may be dominated by the alien, cretinous ignorant bigots known as "liberals", but there's enough on the "conservative" side to just about guarantee, uh ..... well, let's just say the national degradation is not going to be turned around. It only gets worse from here.

a higher deductible. It use to be 750 deducible and I went to 2500. I
threw my daughter on with 2500 deductible as well and she costs an extra
260 a month in addition to my 80. I've been looking for excuses to

years! That is INSANE

That's me. I have a $2,500 deductible. My husband is sick he had to cancel his company's insurance. The younger guys are doing okay, but the older employees are hurting. He couldn't help it. Rates went up 58% last year and another 58% this year.
It absolutely killed him having to cancel the plan. A few of his employees were big O-bots. Now, not so much.

Most came for the same reason as everybody else, auto industry jobs. One of my h.s. classmates emigrated with his family because of the Lebanese Civil War in the 70's. Beirut was a very cosmopolitan town, and he joked that it was a great place apart from all the bombs going off.

Cholesterol and cardiovascular disease are not synonymous.

Thinking that they are sprang from the same sloppy and agenda-directed science that has produced contemporary global-warming climastrology.

Ours has gone from $800 for both of us to a bit over $1700 in 5 years. I just got a letter from Blue Shield a couple of days ago. I'm afraid to open it because I know they're telling me the rates are going up.

I too have relatives telling me that our insurance was horrible before, and now it's what it should be. Yes, I didn't need my vision insurance at all, but what I really need is my pediatric vision and dental. Too bad I'm in my 50's and have no kids. My wife is also delighted about all her maternity coverage.

Right now, our insurance costs what a mortgage would. We could be buying another property instead of a bunch of useless insurance.

218 Wow it must be nice to have anything even approaching an affordable health private"insurance" option. The numbers I see from folks in these commentsare stunning. If I wanted to maintain the same coverage I had under the old, already over-expensive "insurance" (very little of these products are insurance), my price would have nearly quadrupled. Four times.

As it was, a vastly inferior policy, the cheapest private one available, was nearly a tripling of costs (close to $900/mo, had been under $300).

And the things living in this country (Americans in no meaningful sense) just sit there and take it. Even "support" it if they gain $1.98 from the "change".

There's a war for the hearts and minds of the large portion of the Islamic world who are not that into radicalism and not that religious.

2. The utter LOATHING that Professional Soldiers feel for the current admin and the remaining unpurged dick suckers in the top CoC cannot be stated. Press reports don't begin to reflect their feelings and they are much more vocal about it than CONUS types... fewer quislings in the bush to rat you out...

The movie "12 Monkeys" is an awesome flick. See it ASAP. Dunno about the series. The trailer looks cool, but, I'm having problems seeing how the story could be turned into a series. It may involve copious padding. Also, the movie has, as a major plot point, enviro wackos as antagonists.. which is very cool. The series looks like it may omit that. Dunno. I want to like the series, based on the trailer, but, I'm not holding my breath.

Nidal Hasan was extremely open about his radical Islamic jihadi sympathies, but he nevertheless continued steadily on his military career course right up until his lethal terror rampage.

Because every superior officer who might have become skeptical and tagged him out had been previously cautioned that they would be committing career suicide by reducing "diversity".

Note that AFTER Hasan's jihadi killing spree, the chief of staff of the Army said, well, gosh, the _real_ tragedy would be if we were to allow this to impact the diversity of the force.

336 I think the majority of Western converts are no different than any other extreme behaviors, it serves as validation and inclusion for them to substitute for mentally healthy behaviors and functions that they 'can't get their head around' so to speak.
The same mental illness' that leads ill people into (insert cult name here), 12-dimension fluid sexuality behaviors, or Justin Bieber fan clubs leads to susceptibility for recruitment into Islamofascism.
A subset would be those that do it for expediency e.g. going the Muslim gangs in prison, to get by.
Another subset would be a narrow intellectual class that sees it as an intellectual exercise in defining a higher morality. Sir Richard Burton (the Arabist, not the Taylor-Banger) would be an example.
Most converts though are ill vulnerable yet dangerous persons easily fanaticized and used.

377 OK, if I were prez, I would've blown off that asinine "Charlie" demonstration, just because it was a fucking fraud.

The "important" people (leaders?) weren't even there. They were a couple of streets over, surrounded by their security and PRETENDING to be at the demonstration; just a photo op, and they had no desire to mingle with the peasants.

But, if I were prez, it would be OK for me to miss such idiotic "protests," because I'd be making "Screw you, Muslims!" speeches almost daily. I'd be deporting the barbaric assholes by the ship-load. There'd be NO DOUBT where I stood.

Whereas, all the limp Eurotrash leaders attended that little photo op, then went home and launched into their "We love Islam" nonsense all over again.

They used to be in refrigerated section of foods when Uno pizzas were sold here & weren't frozen. I never ate deep dish originals in the restaurants here.

I only thought of them a few months ago because store had their pizza skins or whatever they called them. Had those things once in restaurant friend suggested we get as an appetizer & it was too much for me. I expected potato skins & not that.
Sorry it sucked.
I won't look again for them now that you've said it sucked.

431 EXCLUSIVE: Hillary Clinton advisers feel she has better White House shot against Mitt Romney than Jeb Bush

Clinton confidants and other Democrats said in interviews that they view Romney as the weaker Republican opponent in a general election, unlikely to get a second chance from the key swing group of independents who made up their minds about him just two years ago.

433 CAC, I saw Venus and Mercury next to each other on Tuesday. I kinda suspected that's what what they were even thought I didn't know it at the time. I confirmed it with Stellarium later.

What I didn't realize was that Mars was also visible, somewhat higher in the sky. I further discovered that the Moon will join them on the 21st, which means you can see the whole inner solar system at one glance. Assuming the sky is clear.

Our son was touch and go at the end. It was incredible, and I'd go through it all again in a heartbeat. And that was 25 years ago. I remember the ATL hospital was out of birthing rooms, and for the first 12 hours I was literally in a cleaning supply room. No shit! Wasn't at all like the glossy brochure.


You guys will be fine. And who knows, you may have more. But if not? You'll be happy and fulfilled like us, with one amazing kid.

A few hours after he was born, I held him close to my face and stuck my tongue out at him. He copied me. (I had read an article about newborns held close to their parents copying facial expressions, etc.) It was amazing.

441 BTW I'm watching an episode of "Community" called "App Development and Condiments" in which an app measuring one's popularity index is beta-tested among the student body. The students become stratified into different social castes a la every bad sci-fi commentary flick out there, from pleasure-seeking elites down to basement-dwelling troglodytes.

494 there has been a convergence of international socialist/communist leftist movements and islamic salafist movements. the left will hijack any cause if they can, and they have certainly come down on the side of the palestinians. i can see why obama would be hesitant to label the acts of terror as islamic terrorism. these are his constituencies, and besides, the left-base would have a fit if he dared to use the term.
