| Washington - The White House says a National Rifle Association video that makes reference to President Barack Obama´s daughters is "repugnant and cowardly." Obama spokesman Jay Carney says most Americans agree that a president´s children should not be used as "pawns in a political fight." Carney was referring to an online video from the pro-gun lobby that calls Obama an "elitist hypocrite" for having armed Secret Service agents protect his daughters at school while voicing skepticism about installing armed guards in all schools. The NRA released the video ahead of Obama's

I must be stupid.
The White House claims that "a president´s children should not be used a pawn´s in a political fight."
but...
it is ok for the President today to trot out someone else´s kids to be a photo op as pawn´s in a political fight?
Got it. Our king´s kids are more important than the people´s kids.

Once again the WH tries to change the subject without answering the original item. Guess what 0bama you´re beginning your exit from the political stage cuz the vast majority of Americans are or are finally beginning to see what a smug, lying manipulator you truly are. My God you and your administration know no shame whether its the woman 0bama was comforting after Hurricane Sandy for the photo op during the election and now children surrounding you on stage - seems to me you guys will do anything and I do mean anything.

The irony is even more strange. Should a lunatic show up at BO´s kids´ school, the Secret Service protection and those provided to other kids from the political elite would be armed to take out someone before they even entered the classroom.
My question is why are his kids and those at that school more important than any of the children in any of the other schools in the US?
Oh, wait...I know why...because "I won."

The point of the NRA ad. was not the President´s daughters, but that the President appears satisfied with his kids have heavily armed protectors while at that high end private school, while the President and the liberal Democrats apparently don´t give much credence to armed resource or security officers being stationed in just regular old public schools where the average family´s kids attend school.
There is absolutely no doubt that the very high level publicity given to the Sandy Hook murders by an obvious mentally ill individual have spawned a number of copy cat multiple murders and that in the short term the public schools are at risk from dangerous mentally ill persons going on their own personal suicide missions, coming up with ideas that to get the utmost attention, committing murders at schools before they take their own lives is the way for them to go. Right now armed resource or security officers in public schools is the only way to combat that threat.

Haven´t seen the ad and don´t really care.
But any explicit mention of his family is probably a losing tactic, the MSM will attack the NRA for it.
Even so, it is true. Didn´t the SS accompany Chelsea while she went to Stanford? Maybe they still do.
Politicians are not like the rest of us. They have armed guards.

Jim Carrey ups the ante on his coarse anti-gun Tweets by picking on a dead man. Carrey released a new song and video today dubbed Cold Dead Hand which mocks the late Charlton Heston´s films, his stance on guns and even his penis size. In short, Carrey blames all gun violence on a dead movie star who believed in the Second Amendment as much as our Founding Fathers did. It´s ironic coming from the star of the upcoming Kick-Ass 2, a movie which promises to bring as much gun fetishism and support for the right to defend ourselves

Jamie Lokoff hung up his phone and rushed downtown on a summer day in 2011. An arsonist had targeted his new bar, MilkBoy, just weeks before it was scheduled to open. The butcher paper lining the windows had caught fire, alerting a passerby to call 911. The incident marked a sinister turn in the MilkBoy owners’ ten-month battle with the carpenters’ union over the construction of the bar and music venue in downtown Philadelphia. Though Jamie Lokoff and his partner, Tommy Joyner, had used unionized labor on much of the project,

Carlos Gutierrez knows what it’s like to be terrified that the universe could suddenly turn against you. He felt it at age 6, when the Castro regime imprisoned his father. He felt it at age 12, after the family arrived in the United States and the CIA mistook his father for a Cuban criminal, threatening his family’s standing in this country. He felt it again, at age 40, when his Mexican-born wife and son were applying for U.S. citizenship after 14 years of waiting. Gutierrez eventually rose to become chief executive of Kellogg and President George W. Bush’s commerce secretary.

With their attacks on tea party conservatives, Karl Rove and his cohorts have fired the first salvo in the Great GOP War of 2013. The strangest aspect of this is that even as Rove denounces conservatism in favor of his unique brand of watered-down compromise, he appears to be looking to capitalize on conservatism itself. While he may call his latest super PAC the “Conservative Victory Project,” Rove most decidedly does not wish for conservative victory. The aim of his group is to push moderate candidates while posturing as the savior of the embattled Republican Party.

Per the Constitution, a President appoints cabinet members "by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate." In the matter of Chuck Hagel´s move to the Pentagon, the Senate´s Democratic majority is more or less waiving this clause and rolling over to President Obama´s wishes. It´s not that Democrats don´t have serious doubts about the former Republican Senator´s record and qualifications. Senate Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin started last month´s nomination hearing by enumerating them, from Mr. Hagel´s long-standing opposition to sanctions on Iran to his warnings about the influence of a "Jewish lobby."

Could there be a better illustration of the cultural divide over firearms than the White House photograph of our skeet-shooting president? Clay pigeons are launched into the air, but the president´s smoking shotgun is level with the ground. This is not a man who is comfortable around guns. And that goes a long way toward explaining his gun-control agenda. Lack of informed presidential leadership aside, there is a gulf between those Americans who view guns as invaluable tools for self-defense, both against private wrongdoers and a potentially tyrannical government,

Allies of the conservative potential Senate candidate are practically chortling about how the swings taken at King by Steven Law, president of the Conservative Victory Project, are boosting King’s prospective candidacy. “Steve King hadn’t done anything to Karl Rove, so they fired the first shot, but I guarantee it won’t be the last,”

Once upon a time, a Republican senator from Nebraska spoke up for the right of mediocrities to occupy eminent positions of public trust. "Even if he were mediocre, there are a lot of mediocre judges and people and lawyers," said Sen. Roman Hruska in 1970 as a defense of G. Harrold Carswell, Richard Nixon´s ill-fated nominee to the Supreme Court. "They are entitled to a little representation, aren´t they, and a little chance?

When Michigan became the 24th right-to-work state late last year, everyone knew unions would try to overturn or otherwise neuter the law. That´s the message from a December 27-28 memo to local union presidents and board members from Michigan Education Association President Steven Cook, which recommends tactics that unions can use to dilute the impact of the right-to-work law. One bright idea is to renegotiate contracts now to lock teachers into paying union dues after the right-to-work law goes into effect in March. Another is to sue their own members who try to leave.

As D-Day looms for ObamaCare, one big question is how many states will sign up for its Medicaid expansion. The recent and spectacular flip-flop of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is a case study in the political pressure and fiscal gimmicks designed to get states to succumb. It´s also a study in the arcane and perverse ObamaCare incentives that are intended to gather ever more health-care spending under federal control. Arizona´s current Medicaid program is well run by the program´s standards—a low bar—but it is also too large. The program now finances one of every two in-state births

This is Catholic Schools Week, when dioceses across the country celebrate the great gifts that are our Catholic schools. It has been a somewhat somber Catholic Schools Week for me, since in the Archdiocese of New York we recently announced that 24 of our schools will be closing at the end of this academic year. According to the National Catholic Education Association, the closings will join a national trend that has seen Catholic-school enrollment in the U.S. decline by 23.4% since 2000, a loss of 621,583 students. It is sometimes hard to understand why enrollment has dropped.

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?

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

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
