President Obama decries incivility in politics then Blasts 'Tea-Baggers'
By Jake Tapper, ABC | | Three days after he decried the lack of civility in American politics, President Obama is quoted in a new book about his presidency referring to the Tea Party movement using a derogatory term with sexual connotations. In Jonathan Alter's "The Promise: President Obama, Year One," President Obama is quoted in an interview saying that the unanimous vote of House Republicans vote against the stimulus bills "set the tenor for the whole year ... That helped to create the tea-baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party to where it now controls the agenda for the Republicans." Tea Party activists loath the term "tea baggers," which has emerged in liberal media outlets and elsewhere as a method of mocking the activists and their concerns. On Saturday, the president delivered a commencement address at the University of Michigan where he said one way "to keep our democracy healthy is to maintain a basic level of civility in our public debate … But we can't expect to solve our problems if all we do is tear each other down." | | Read More and Comment: |

There since Day One? Maybe not
By ERICA WERNER, Associated Press | | To hear Obama administration officials tell it, they've been fully engaged on the Gulf Coast oil spill since Day One, bringing every resource to bear and able to ensure without question that taxpayers will be protected. Not quite. Take President Barack Obama's repeated claims that BP will be responsible for all the costs associated with the devastating spill that began after an oil rig operated by the company exploded April 20, killing 11 workers and later sinking. "Let me be clear: BP is responsible for this leak; BP will be paying the bill," Obama said while touring the area Sunday. While it's true that the federal Oil Pollution Act, enacted in 1990 in response to the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska, makes BP responsible for cleanup costs, the law caps the company's liability for economic damages — such as lost wages, shortened fishing seasons or lagging tourism — at $75 million, a pittance compared to potential losses. Administration officials insist BP will be held responsible anyway, noting that if the company is found negligent or criminally liable, the cap disappears. Claims also can potentially be made under other state or federal laws, officials said. | | Read More and Comment: | Obama Reform Plan Will Have Taxpayers Paying for Bank Failures
Money News | | A Senate measure advertised as protecting taxpayers from another Wall Street bailout would still leave them fronting the money if the government moves to liquidate a big failing company like insurance giant AIG. Taxpayers could end up putting up billions of dollars to cover the costs of dealing with such a firm and be able to recoup that money only over a period of five years, under the Senate's sweeping overhaul of financial regulations. An amendment the Senate is expected to pass Tuesday states that "taxpayers shall bear no losses from the exercise of any authority under this title." Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., says the legislation means: "We're never going to let the taxpayers and Treasury face this kind of obligation." But the measure doesn't prevent that kind of obligation, though it does require that taxpayers would be paid back. "The bill ensures taxpayers don't get stuck paying for Wall Street's mistakes," said Kirstin Brost, a Democratic spokeswoman for the Senate Banking Committee. The government would have top priority getting repaid, with proceeds of the sale of a liquidated firms' assets going to the government first. | | Read More and Comment: | Shutting Down Free Speech
By Mark Hyman, American Spectator | | Popular speech and political dissent have proved troublesome to President Barack Obama since the very beginning of his term in office. The Obama Administration began waging war on the minority of media outlets that did not worship at his altar immediately after he was sworn in. Just three days into his presidency Obama warned Congressional Republicans against listening to radio host Rush Limbaugh. In April, Obama responded to a sycophantic question from CBS news anchor Harry Smith by falsely claiming Limbaugh and Fox News commentator Glenn Beck labeled Obama a "Nazi." Obama responded by identifying as "troublesome" "this kind of vitriol." During the intervening 15 months, White House officials attempted to marginalize balanced news outlets such as the Fox News Channel by enlisting the support of the heretofore compliant news media. Fortunately, competing news outlets found the backbone -- if only temporarily -- to put the kibosh on Obama's attempts to blacklist FNC from the White House press pool. These heavy-handed actions, as well as worries about the Obama Administration reinstituting the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" for talk radio are small time when one considers what the government is capable of accomplishing if a handful of current proposals are enacted. | | Read More and Comment: | For Obama, a changed tone in presidential humor
By Paul Farhi, Washington Post | | Barack Obama, the Insult Comic President, was up to his old shtick Saturday night. Breaking with presidential punch line tradition for the second consecutive year, Obama dropped zinger after zinger on his opponents and allies alike at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Obama went all Don Rickles on a broad range of topics and individuals: Vice President Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, presidential advisers David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel, the news media, Jay Leno, and Republicans Michael Steele, Scott Brown, John McCain and Sarah Palin. Except for a mild joke pegged to his falling approval ratings, Obama mostly spared Obama during his 14-minute stand-up routine. Palin, he said, calls Twitter and Facebook "the socialized media." He dubbed Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican Party, "the Notorious G.O.P." The newly enacted health-care law, the president joked, has "hundreds" of secret provisions, such as one covering people in Massachusetts who've suffered "short-term memory loss" about the state's own efforts to reform health care. "So good news, Mitt!" Obama said of Republican critic and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. "Your condition is covered!" | | Read More and Comment: | NEW: "Secure Our Borders" T-Shirt + 2 FREE Stickers! NEW: "Secure Our Borders" T-Shirt + 2 FREE Stickers!

 American for LEGAL Immigration: Good Enough For My Ancestors. Good Enough For You. Secure Our Borders NOW!
Immigration is one of the most controversial issues facing our nation today. Americans are not opposed to legal immigration. The first Americans, Native Americans, came here from somewhere else. Many of our families legally immigrated from Europe to America in search of a better life. America is a unique place, at least for now, where people of diverse backgrounds can live peacefully with one another in search of the "American Dream." The Democrats, however, are turning the American Dream into a Socialist Nightmare. Rather than require people to immigrate to America legally and work hard for everything they earn, Democrats want to take our hard-earned money and give it to illegal aliens in exchange for their votes. Democrats open our borders to anyone under the guise of so-called "fairness" and "equality." They don't care about illegal aliens. They just want more power. It's not just citizens who get ripped off with illegal immigration. Illegal aliens get cheated too. Most find themselves working for slave-labor wages or stuck on Government entitlement programs—not the American Dream. Even worse, our unsecured borders give terrorists easy access to our country. Something has to give. That's why we are promoting legal immigration with this t-shirt available in all sizes as well as a bumper sticker.
