David Gregory Asks Obama
´Is This Your Lincoln Moment?´

Newsbusters, by Noel Sheppard

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 12/30/2012 5:17:55 PM

Of all the gushing, fawning, sycophantic things uttered by Obama-loving media members in 2012, David Gregory´s fiscal cliff question posed to the President on Sunday´s Meet the Press has to be on the list of the year´s top ten. "Is this your Lincoln moment?" (video follows with transcript and commentary): PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Winston Churchill used to say that we Americans, you know, we try every other option before we finally do the right thing. After everything else is exhausted, we eventually do the right thing. And I think that that´s true for Congress as well.

Who´s Gregory to decide what the right thing is?caving to higher taxes and more absurd spending isn´t the+ right thing in my book.Making it as easy as possible for business to operate is but that´s becoming a thing of the past unless you have an insider connection to a dem operative.

Mr. Gregory. I knew Tim Russert. Tim Russert was a friend of ours. You´re no Tim Russert.

I truly enjoyed listening to Russert and miss him. Although he worked for two libs, Mario Cuomo and Daniel Patrick Moynihan, he was fairly bipartisan and fair in his questioning of guests.

David Gregory has secured his perch on the glitterati´s "A" guest list at the DC cocktail party circuit.

First of all, not sure why anyone would think Tim Russert was such a great friend. He was nice man and relatively fair (qualities which are cause for dismissal now - witness Jake Tapper) - but no conservative by a long shot though a thousand heads and shoulders over what we have now.

As for the article, Obama´s quoting Churchill is further evidence of the genius of his advisors, and possibly of himself, in spotting areas of criticism and successfully neutralizing them with the general public, one by one (a/k/a fooling most of the people most of the time). It´s interesting that the quote he picked was also one that was hugely left-handed as compliments ago.

Truly, it appears that we can´t win at this point. The only talking heads show I caught this morning, and just for a moment, was ABC Sunday Morning. Their token conservative was Tim Pawlenty, who for the moment I happened to watch was handily minimalized, casually condescended to and summarily stomped on by the female reporter who responded to his comment.

We are still losing so badly, and from the comments around here, I feel we will continue to. The public has us pegged as racist, uncool, and uncaring about the 47%. We need, not more conservative candidates particularly, but candidates who can turn those perceptions around. I ask you: Who was the last Republican to win two elections in a row? Do I hear something about "compassionate conservative"? One would think Romney could have filled that bill, but he blew it with the 47% comment and by a naivete that surfaced undeniably when it surfaced that he did not believe it was possible he could lose (and, in my opinion, by not picking Rubio).

The lack of intelligence by Gregory, BO and their audience is mind blowing.

Licoln was a Republican. BO a Democrat. Lincoln set in motion to remove slavery for blacks which took many years to acheive. BO and his ilk (many previous Dem Presidents as well) have reduced blacks to slavery through welfare, entitlements and affirmative action.

Lincoln was a stateman and BO a typical gangsta thug.

Amazing how people have zero shame in revealing their complete ignorance.

And with respect to the poster that stated that a lot of people believe that Lincoln was a Democrat...is so true. In a college American history course more than half the class believed that the course text book made a typograhical error in identifying Lincoln as a Republican. And, I took this course 20 years ago. I imagine that probably 90% of college grads think that Lincoln was a Dem.

Obama faces choice on
morning-after pill limits

WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks. A federal judge in New York on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception, ending the requirement that buyers show proof they’re 17 or older if they want to buy it without a prescription. The ruling accused the Obama administration in no uncertain terms of letting the president’s pending re-election cloud its judgment when it

GOP Must Stop ´My Way or the

Projecting madly, the White House on Sunday pushed the notion that Republican intransigence is the reason that Democrats have been unable to pass a budget during President Obama’s tenure. “Right now,” said senior White House advisor Dan Pfeiffer on Fox News Sunday, “the approach of many Republicans, particularly the leadership in the House, is my way or the highway.” This is certainly rich coming from an administration that has failed to garner a single “yes” vote on its budget proposals for the past several years, even from members of its own party.

WASHINGTON — President Obama went out for a round of golf Saturday afternoon, his second weekend in a row to hit the links at a course at Joint Base Andrews. The president golfed with White House aides Marvin Nicholson, Joe Paulsen, and Michael Brush. Last Saturday, the president played golf at the same course with Nicholson, Brush, and friend and Chicago businessman Marty Nesbitt. The outing marked his first time on the golf course since the sequester cuts went into place on March 1. The president also took in the Syracuse-Marquette NCAA tournament basketball game

No doubt there are parents who have frank, frequent, open and easy discussions with their teens about sex. I’ve never met any. I do know parents, however, who were stunned to find their 15-year-old’s birth control pills in her pocketbook. Or who came home early to discover junior and a girl they’d never met frantically buttoning up. Or who found out — when their children were grown — what really went on when Meghan said she was sleeping over at Ashley’s. Such sobering tales of teens snookering mom and dad caused mixed emotions in me — a solidly pro-choice

Finally, she was able to leave the painful past behind. Powell endured the explosive battle over desegregation in Boston in the 1970s. Tears come to her eyes when she talks about how it took her decades to return to the place where she never felt safe as an African-American seventh-grader."It was scary because of what you were going into, getting bricks thrown at your bus.

A few years after the assassination of President John F.

Is that? Is that?’” Adams recalled during an oral history interview. She knew, of course, what “that” meant. “That” was where Kennedy had been shot.

"She was everything a foreign service officer should be: smart, capable, eager to serve, and deeply committed to our country and the difference she was making for the Afghan people," Kerry said of the slain official.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012.

Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
