Why I am not listening to this morning's speech:

1.  He has already gone to the UN and had them ratify his Iranian "Death to Israel" Deal, in a classic snuff of the American Congress.  

2.  He has already made it clear that if Congress succeeded in over-riding his veto and rejected this deal,  in a final sense,  he would ignore that legislative decision.  He will not obey the law and that his his statement,  not my prediction.

Now you know why I have not intentions of wasting my time on this speech.  Obama has made it clear that only his decision,  matters.  Therefore,  whatever he is doing,  this morning,  is nothing less that chunky-style barnyard . . . . . . . .   if you get my drift.  

Guaranteed: You did not see this sort of objective reporting in dealing with B Obama. Hillary is clearly not getting the special treatment she may have imagined.

Point of Post:  To illustrate the fact that Hillary is not the darling of the media that Obama is.  Apparently not enough room at the top of the Progressive Hero's Pyramid for more than one.  After Obama,  Bill and Hillary are truly "also rans."  


Clinton's recently announced $2 million ad buy, for example, will likely do little to convince voters she has a soft, authentic side, MSNBC talking heads suggested Monday.

 Bloomberg News' Mark Halperin added, "In the short-term, the echo chamber matters a lot. There's no one inside the echo chamber who looks at these two new ads and goes wow, that's awesome, that's awe-inspiring."

"It feels a lot of the time like she knows she's up by 40 points," MSNBC contributor Willie Geist added. "[The approach seems to be] don't say anything to mess with that, don't answer a question directly because you don't have to, you can kind of obfuscate about things and be vague. I think that catches up with you eventually."


"Hillary Clinton has the negative numbers when it comes to being viewed as trustworthy," CNN's Nia-Malika Henderson remarked, noting a problem that has long dogged the Democratic presidential candidate. "She's had problems with her campaign generating that enthusiasm and a sense of connection."

"If you look at the internal poll numbers, they say people don't think that Hillary Clinton represents or relates to people like them," she added, suggesting that Clinton's multi-million dollar ad buy will likely do little to create a connection with voters.

Whispers that Biden will make a go of it in 2016 may have informed Team Clinton's decision to roll out her $2 million ad campaign well ahead of schedule, the Huffington Post's Sam Stein said Monday, adding that the early buy suggests her campaign may be genuinely "spooked."

Morning News Stories: You will see these stories throughout today, August 5, 2015.

Washington Post:

FBI looking into the security of Hillary Clinton's private e-mail setup  —  Hillary Rodham Clinton has said that the private e-mail server she used as secretary of state “had numerous safeguards.  It was on property guarded by the Secret Service.  And there were no security breaches.”

 

Editor's notes:  This may be the lead story of the day,  if not the Fox Debates.  It is significant that Obama's DOJ has asked the FBI to investigate.  

 

Fox News:

Fox News announces candidate line-up for prime-time debate  —  Fox News has announced the line-up for the prime-time Republican presidential debate this Thursday, and here's who qualified:  —  Real estate magnate Donald Trump; former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush; Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker … 

 

Editor's notes: Perry failed to make the top ten,  as did Carly Fiorina,  a favorite of this editor.  John Kasich's inclusion in the top ten,  is note worthy,  in view of his late entry into the race.  He has been called a "bleeding heart conservative,"  and that may count for something.   We will find out beginning Thursday,  5:50 pm pt.  (Those who did not make the primetime slot,  will debate beginning around 2 pm, pt.). 

 

 

Julian Hattem / The Hill:

Highest-ranking Jewish House Democrat opposes Iran deal  —  The highest-ranking Jewish Democrat in the House announced his opposition to the nuclear accord with Iran on Tuesday, in a blow to the Obama administration's lobbying efforts.  —  “I'm going to vote against the Iran deal,” … 

 

Editor's notes:  Congress has 90 days to make its decision.  A lot can happen during that time,  and most of it is not good for the Administration.  

 

Before 1988, the Liberal Media owned the world. Today? Not so much.

David Muir CBS  . . . . . . .     Lester Holt  NBC . . . . . .    Scott Pell3y  ABC

	NBC	ABC	CBS
• Total Viewers:	7,827,000	7,573,000	6,103,000
• A25-54:	1,927,000	1,809,000	1,402,000

Note:  You have a total of 20 million watching Network News versus 9 million watching Fox News Primetime (4 hours) 

While this seems embarrassingly one sided,  keep in mind that Fox News and Fox Business News has a 24 hour combined total more than 30 million viewers compared to a similar total for Network(s) when you include their morning shows.  

In addition to this balance (FoxNews Network versus all the others),  add in conservative national programming  (Limbaugh,  Hannity, Beck, Michael Medved,  Huge Hewitt, and 20/30 other local conservative programs) and the conservative blog sphere versus the large print/digital liberal media,  and you have an argument, again,  for media parody on a larger scale.  

"Parody" is not the story,  however.  Rather,  it is the fact that before 1988,  there was zero parody   . . . .    the media camp was virtually all about the evolving liberal-to-One-World media with no offset as far as opposition speech was concerned.  

I mention "1988" because that was the year Limbaugh first began broadcasting  . . . . . .   on the tail end of Reagan's impressive presidency.  Limbaugh proved that there was a market for conservative opinion.  Who knew?   And out of the Limbaugh experiment,  came all the rest   . . . . . .   Fox News, the Tea Party Movement 11 after Rush's first program, and the large conservative media industry.  As a point in time,  Limbaugh1988 is the beginning of "equal time" for the Conservative/patriotic world. 

In the end,  this parody reflects the national partisan reality as well (I am talking about America's voting population)  . . . .   a media reality that is only 27 years old.  We are all having to learn how to deal with "equal time,"  an accomplished demand on the part of Conservatives and the "new reality"  (talking about conservative media) libs are being forced to accept. 

Again,  "parody" is not the story.  Rather,  the point of this post is the remarkable turn-around that is the Conservative Media World and its quest for equal time,  in a world controlled by those who do not want free speech and the "equal time" that is the opportunity coming from the First Amendment.  

Did this turn-around come too late in the national history of politics?  The coming presidential election will give us an answer.  

Surprise !! With ObamaCare, Planned Parenthood is no longer a necessary healthcare provider. It's abortion business should be a matter of private funding, if allowed at all.

Supporters of Planned Parenthood claim that an end to federal funding of the organization will limit women’s access to family planning services and preventive care.

In reality, Planned Parenthood itself has decreased cancer screenings and other preventive care since 2004, all the while increasing the number of abortions its affiliates perform by about 70,000 every year.

Indeed, Planned Parenthood performs about 1 out of every three abortions in the United States, performing 327,653 abortions during its last reporting year alone. 

And despite some supporters’ statements to the contrary, Planned Parenthood does not and cannot provide mammograms. (Instead, to solidify its place as the top abortion provider, Planned Parenthood recently announced that all local affiliates would have to begin providing abortion services starting in 2013).

Moreover, health care services are already being provided for those who need them without unethical practices or entanglement in abortion. There are roughly 9,000 health clinics across the country that served 21 million people in 2012 alone.

According to new research by the Charlotte Lozier Institute, those clinics serve nearly eight times the number of individuals served by Planned Parenthood every year. These clinics are located in medically underserved rural and urban areas and can provide birth control options, cancer screenings and women’s health exams, not to mention a wide range of primary health services for low-income women, children and men.

Last year, Obama's Administration issued 81,000 pages of regulations . . . the most in wolrd history.

<<<  The Democrat Party is no longer the party of the working class.  Folks just haven't figured that out,  yet.   

From Newsweek:  Working-class white men used to go with the Democratic Party like hot dogs and mustard. And now? Well, not so much. The complex political allegiances of noncollege voters—and particularly noncollege white men—get less attention than the rise of the Hispanic voter. The white working-class percentage of the electorate may be on the decline, but white working-class men remain a voting bloc neither party can afford to ignore.

More than this revelation (the immediate above),  you have an Administration that simply does not believe that regulations cost wealth and jobs, nor does this
Administration show any tangible signs of concern for the middle class working man and woman. 

No wonder this clown believes that the participation of only 62% of the workforce (10 million fewer than with  Bill Clinton or GW Bush) is "the new normal,"  or that 2% GDP is worth bragging about.  He has cut his own deficits to a manageable level by raising taxes more than any political leader in world history.  He ignores the fact that the hard working upper and middle class pays 90% of the tax bill,  proving,  of course, that the Working Class is more than paying its "fair share."  

When Hillary talks about being the "champion of the middle class,"  she is really talking about the Welfare Class  (which is not the Entitlement Class if you count Medicare and Social Security and the child's tax credit as entitlements versus rent assistance, food stamps, free phones, voting rights for felons, and tax credits paid "back" to people who do not pay federal and state taxes).  

In short,  the Democrat Party is no longer the party of the middle class working person.  Obama is the first Democrat "president" to overtly ignore the blue collar vote   . . . .   looks like Hillary will be the second.  

The Progressive Regulatory Assault on the Middle Class is both disgraceful,  and extremely harmful to small business and individual workers.   It is my hope,  that sooner rather than latter,  the real Middle Class will stand up and against this onslaught. 

Hillary is seen in a positive light by only 34% of white women . . . . clearly a sign of their racism . . . . . . . oh, wait, Hillary is white or is she still the First Lady of the First Black President?

Many Democrats have long hoped that Hillary Clinton might expand Barack Obama‘s electoral coalition by drawing in more white women voters.

A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll suggests she may have a tough time pulling it off. Mrs. Clinton is losing ground with white women and many other important slices of the electorate, the poll shows, amid a spate of reports about her email practices, speaking fees and foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation.

In June, 44% of white women had a favorable view of Mrs. Clinton, compared to 43% who didn’t. In July, those numbers moved in the wrong direction for Mrs. Clinton: Only 34% of white women saw her in a positive light, compared to 53% who had a negative impression of her, the poll found.

Mr. Obama fared poorly with white women voters in the 2012 election, losing them to Republican challenger Mitt Romney by 14 points.

For Team Clinton, the latest poll numbers are a worrisome development. Mrs. Clinton is unlikely to match the African-American turnout that propelled Mr. Obama to two presidential victories, so she has to make up the difference somewhere else. Women eager to see a woman in the White House is a logical group to target.

You cannot read this post and still believe in Obama's "genius."

<<<    A second budget proposal written by our Resident "He's smarter than Palin" Genius,  lost 2-416.  A third budget submission,  written by Obama,  lost 97 to nothing in the Senate, a fourth lost 99 to nothing in the Senate,  and a fifth budget submission was rejected by the CBO for scoring (an appraisal of the fiscal aspects of a budget proposal) syaing,  "We do not score speeches."  Anyone still think this clown is on a par with Ronald Reagan or Sarah Palin,  for that matter.  I mean,  how insanely inept do you have to be to score 1026 "no" votes while only getting your own party members to register 2 votes "for" your written proposal?  The man not only does not know anything about fiscal planning,  he can't even pretend.

Obama is our first anti-Reagan-and-all-that-he-stood-for president; Hillary may be our second stealth president.

There will be six Democratic debates announced this week – and if candidates stray from the DNC’s strict rules, they will be punished by the Party Elite  . . . . . .   The Daily Beast has learned that the Democratic National Committee will announce its debate schedule later this week, with six debates beginning in the fall, and with penalties for candidates and media outlets that stray from the sanctioned schedule   . . . . .    Debate planning has been underway at the DNC since early last year, and Vice President Biden’s staff has been kept in the loop all along as a party leader and someone who has openly talked about possibly running. Lobbying by the campaigns has been intense, with Clinton’s campaign wanting fewer than six debates, while the staffs of Martin O’Malley and Bernie Sanders asking for more than that.

Republicans had 20 debates last  campaign and are scheduled for 9 debates in this cycle  ~  editor. 

Virtually all of the federal exchanges for ObamaCare are in the red (22 out 23 exchanges).

Editor's notes:  The Washington Examiner tells us that only 30% of those on ObamaCare are satisfied with their policies.  Expect to see more bad news regarding ObamaCare,  as the new enrollment season fires up,  this time with an emphasis on the employer mandate.  Some 160 million policies are in this category, including all union policies   . . . . . .   just in time for the 2016 presidential campaign.  If things are as bad as we conservatives have been told,  things will not go well for this legacy program.  


From the Daily Caller:  Federal officials refuse to identify the troubled Obamacare health co-ops that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has placed in a special risk category requiring “enhanced oversight” due to low profitability or low enrollment.

Last week the inspector general for the Department of Health and Human Services revealed that 22 of the 23 non-profit co-ops suffered net operating losses last year and that six were so distressed CMS said they were the subject to extra “enhanced oversight.”

CMS spokesman Aaron Albright, however, refused to divulge the names of the struggling taxpayer-supported co-ops.

He suggested The Daily Caller News Foundation file a Freedom of Information Act request. It’s not uncommon for responses to FOIA requests to take months or even years to be processed by federal departments and agencies.
