DANNER: Dubious facts behind Obama’s economic optimism
Dan Danner
02/24/2012 12:30 AM
On the march to the November elections, President Obama has been painting an optimistic outlook for the economy. On the campaign trail last week, he noted, “People are starting to get a sense that the economy is on the rebound.” But Americans are still downtrodden, and we have heard these same promises for too long.

OBAMA’S FAILURE TO LEAD: SETH CROPSEY AND DOUGLAS FEITH

http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/291868
In recent days, President Barack Obama has been stressing that his national-security record will help him get reelected. In a January interview with Time magazine, in his State of the Union address, and elsewhere, he not only recalls, with justifiable pride, the killing of Osama bin Laden, but also claims credit for “restor[ing] American leadership in the world.”
In common parlance, leadership abroad means something along the lines of identifying the U.S. national interest and enlisting foreign partners to join us in achieving it. What Mr. Obama means, however, is more or less the opposite.
Before entering office in 2009, Mr. Obama and his administration’s top foreign-policy intellectuals wrote extensively in favor of a less assertive, less militarily capable, less independent United States. This prescription fit their characterization of America’s post–World War II history as a story of bullying, selfishness, militarism, and violations of the rights of others.

THE LATEST CONTRIBUTIONS TO PEACE FOR INFIDELS

http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/

“Mohammed is God’s apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless

to the unbelievers but merciful to one another” Quran 48:29

2012.02.23 (Musayyib, Iraq) – Children are heavily represented among the casualties of an al-Qaeda car bombing near an elementary school.
2012.02.23 (Mandali, Iraq) – Two children are taken out by an al-Qaeda bomb at a soccer field.
2012.02.23 (Karrada, Iraq) – Body parts are strewn across roads as terrorists kill at least ten people with a bomb in a residential Shiite neighborhood.
2012.02.23 (Kadhimiya, Iraq) – Six patrons are taken apart by an al-Qaeda car bomb at a restaurant.
2012.02.23 (Kohat, Pakistan) – A Religion of Peace car bomb rips through a bus station, leaving at least a dozen dead.

2012.02.22 (Maiduguri, Nigeria) – Islamists slit the throat of a pastor’s 75-year-old mother and leave a note in Arabic for her son.

Islam is a religion that inspires violent outrage over the destruction
of inanimate objects, such as Quran copies, and relative indifference
toward the extermination of human beings in the name of God.

RICHARD BAEHR: MEDIA POLL SUGGESTS THAT OBAMA IS LOSING SUPPORT OF SOME MINORITIES AND INDEPENDENTS

PJ Media Poll: Obama Losing Some Minorities, Independents Posted By Rich Baehr

http://pjmedia.com/blog/pj-media-poll-obama-losing-some-minorities-independents/

Yesterday, Roger L. Simon summarized the results [1] of a PJ Media-sponsored poll which compared the four contending Republican candidates in head-to-head matchups with Barack Obama. (Topline results here. [2]) The survey of 800 registered voters, conducted by the firm CrossTarget, also looked at potential matchups of various candidates who could be late entrants into the race — or consensus choices at a deadlocked convention — versus President Obama. The alternative candidates included Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan, and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

The poll, conducted February 21 and 22, produced generally more favorable numbers for the GOP candidates than some other surveys conducted contemporaneously [3].

An examination of the crosstabs (see below) indicates that an equal number of those participating in the survey identified as Democrats and Republicans. In surveys that have produced the most favorable numbers for President Obama, the number of Democrats has exceeded the number of Republicans, sometimes by ratios of four to three.

The racial/ethnic makeup of the survey: 70% white, 11% African American, 11% Hispanic, and 8% other. The GOP candidate always won the white vote and always lost the votes of every other group in the survey.

JONATHAN HOFFMAN: AN OPEN LETTER TO THE VICE CHANCELLOR OF MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY- MICHAEL DRISCOLL……BRAVO!!

http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/

Prominent Anglo-Jewish pro-Israel activist Jonathan Hoffman (pictured), a longterm leading figure in the Zionist Federation, has written an Open Letter as follows to the Vice-Chancellor of Middlesex University, Professor Michael Driscoll. I understand that blogger Richard Millett will be describing the events herein described in more detail, but meanwhile here’s Jonathan’s letter, which also appears on the Jewish Chronicle blogs:

Writes Jonathan Hoffman:

‘Last night‘s Middlesex University Palestine Society meeting at Hendon was every bit as vile as might have been expected given the speakers – Ken O’Keefe, Ghada Karmi and ‘Jihad’ Jenny Tonge. O’Keefe was subsequently reported to the Police for aggravated Public Order Act Offences.

Let me introduce you to O’Keefe if you have not had the pleasure:

http://hurryupharry.org/2011/04/15/ken-okeefe-celebrates-hamas-murder-of…

It being Hendon there were quite a few Israel supporters in the audience and O’Keefe’s worst statement was to them:

You like the Nazis [he meant the Germans who resisted the Nazis] have a special obligation [to oppose Israel]”.

You must know that Jew/Nazi comparisons are antisemitic:
http://fra.europa.eu/fraWebsite/material/pub/AS/AS-WorkingDefinition-dra…

He also repeated the “troofers'” lie that “Israel and Mossad was directly involved in 9/11.

Tonge alleged falsely that “the Jewish Constitution is being changed to make Israel a Jewish-only state”

O’Keefe falsely claimed that Mandela compared Israel to apartheid South Africa. The truth is that in April 2000 Mandela came to London and spoke to the Board of Deputies of British Jews. He spoke of the need for Israel to leave the lands taken in 1967 but not unless there was first recognition of the Jewish State by the Arab States: “I added a second position, that Israel cannot be expected to withdraw from the Arab territories which she legitimately conquered when the Arab States wanted to whip her out of the map of the world.” No mention of ‘apartheid’ in Israel – from a man who spent 27 years as a prisoner of the loathsome apartheid regime in South Africa.

O’Keefe said that Israel’s objective was “to maintain perpetual conflict”
