President Grinch steals a Christmas highlight
Obama had the best advice available in NYC and he is choosing to ignore it.
Chris Wysocki has a song to cheer those who wanted to see the Christmas tree lit up at Rockefeller Plaza, but who didn't plan on being caught in Bam-induced gridlock.

The global triple threat builds
The prospect of a new Middle East war involving Israel and Iran, coinciding with a collapse of the Euro provoking global economic chaos, has not receded. On the contrary, it seems to be escalating: the Euro crisis is far from being solved, the Iranians -- rattled by sabotage of both a nuclear and a missile installation -- are clearly trying to distract attention by storming the British Embassy in Tehran -- an act verging on war.
Israel is openly repositioning its Jericho long-range missiles [ no doubt to reduce vulnerability to thousands of Hezbollah rockets.]
Meanwhile the British have been moving a missile-equipped nuclear submarine to the Gulf and the US has deployed a carrier to the same area. And Obama? Probably leading from under the Resolute desk in the Oval office. Has there ever been a worse time to have an irresolute commander-in- chief?

Obama, what the hell are we paying you for? Christie asks
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has torn into President Obama for the failure of the debt supercommittee calling the president "a bystander in the Oval Office"
“I was angry this weekend, listening to the spin coming out of the administration, about the failure of the supercommittee, and that the president knew it was doomed for failure, so he didn’t get involved. Well then what the hell are we paying you for?” Christie asked.

O is for Egotist
"Mr. Obama's career has been one in which the main effect has been the impression he leaves on audiences—the main effect has been himself. Familiarity with his country—or any other country—would be helpful at this point, if only to counterweight his mesmerization with the arc of his personal story." A Wall Street Journal column exposes the President's fundamental flaws. Read it all.

He says: "Obama was here earlier this week telling everyone we're his best friends, as he says to everyone wherever he goes. What was truly nauseating was to see (Gillard's) Labor Party brown-nosing him. I heard Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, speak at the Sydney Institute last night. He is staunch conservative and is going to make a great Prime Minister. The Left loathe and fear him, which will make it all the sweeter."

Hillary's moment in history
"If President Obama is not willing to seize the moral high ground and step aside, then the two Democratic leaders in Congress, Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, must urge the president not to seek re-election—for the good of the party and most of all for the good of the country. And they must present the only clear alternative—Hillary Clinton." This is the core of a seminal piece in The Wall Street Journal, that may signal historic change in this country. Read it all.
We speculated here some months back that Hillary's strategy might be to do nothing until desperate Democrats beg her to run and give her the covering fire she needs. That moment may be at hand. [Thanks BJS]

Protester outrage over pepper on soyburgers
Students at UC Davis, gathered in a cafeteria to peacefully protest corporate greed, accused the university chancellor of attempted genocide when they saw a cafeteria cook grinding pepper to their soyburgers."They were sitting there peacefully," said a spokes committee, "when this cook picked up a large pepper grinder and walked up and down a whole row of burger patties, cold-bloodedly grinding pepper directly on to their surface. " This is pure, unprovoked brutality," the spokes committee said. "We held a general meeting and everyone uptwinkled that we should eat hot dogs instead. No-one is going to push us around."

Adultikids feel the sting of reality
Indignant OWSers posted videos like this one on YouTube of police pepper-spraying protesters at UC Davis who were directly disobeying police orders to move on. Far from being outraged, I find it quite satisfying to see these adultikids playing "rebellion," and feeling the sharp sting of reality. In Syria it would be bullets.

Jammie Wearing Fools has a photo of Bam hovering, apparently uncertain whether to bow or curtsy to the ghastly Aussie harridan.
