Hillary Clinton Lip-Synced More than Beyoncé

Read all of Mark Steyn’s excellent post on Hillary Clinton and Benghazi.
A couple of days later, it fell to the 45th president-in-waiting to encapsulate the ethos of the age in one deft sound bite: What difference does it make? Hillary Clinton’s instantly famous riposte at the Benghazi hearings is such a perfect distillation that it surely deserves to be the national motto of the United States. They should put it on Paul Krugman’s trillion-dollar coin, and in the presidential oath: “Do you solemnly swear to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States?” “Sure. What difference, at this point, does it make?” Well, it’s the difference between cool and reality – and, as Hillary’s confident reply appeared to suggest, and the delirious media reception of it confirmed, reality comes a poor second in the Obama era. The presumption of conservatives has always been that, one day, cold, dull reality would pierce the klieg-light sheen of Obama’s glamour. Indeed, that was the premise of Mitt Romney’s reductive presidential campaign. But, just as Beyoncé will always be way cooler than some no-name operatic soprano or a male voice choir, so Obama will always be cooler than a bunch of squaresville yawneroos boring on about jobs and debt and entitlement reform. Hillary’s cocksure sneer to Sen. Johnson of Wisconsin made it explicit. At a basic level, the “difference” is the difference between truth and falsity, but the subtext took it a stage further: no matter what actually happened that night in Benghazi, you poor sad loser Republicans will never succeed in imposing that reality and its consequences on this administration.

Day By Day January 24, 2013 – Same Ol
President Obama and his minions on the LEFT have the propensity of wanting to get their own way politically – no matter what.
When House Speaker John Boehner says the President wants to annihilate the GOP, he really is not joking.
President Barack Obama is aiming to “annihilate” the GOP during the president’s second term, House Speaker John Boehner says. “And given what we heard yesterday about the President’s vision for his second term, it’s pretty clear to me that he knows he can’t do any of that as long as the House is controlled by Republicans,” Boehner (R-Ohio) said at a gathering of the Republican-oriented Ripon Society on Tuesday, a day after President Barack Obama’s second Inaugural address. “So we’re expecting over the next 22 months to be the focus of this Administration as they attempt to annihilate the Republican Party. And let me just tell you, I do believe that is their goal — to just shove us into the dustbin of history.”
One major problem: The Constitution which was written to oppose despotism and dictatorial powers.

Day By Day January 23, 2013 – The Dog Whisperer
The LEFT-leaning mainstream media is amored with President Obama.
But, who or what next?
The President is already a lame duck and there is no heir apparent to his election prowess.
Sure, there are Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, but they are old and NOT cool.
I suspect there will be a change to a younger Republican in 2016, like Bobby Jindal or Marco Rubio.

Day By Day January 22, 2013 – Link This
President Obama will try to quickly move his LEFTIST/PROGRESSIVE agenda, as he knows that a lame duck administration soon awaits.
However, the GOP House will NOT play ball and will force Senate Democrats who represent RED states to either side with the GOP or make unpopular votes that may endanger their 2014 re-election.
The chains that Obama will hold on his own party will be weak indeed.
The chains of Obama Big Government will take a while to break – but break they will.

Day By Day January 18, 2013 – Not Keeping up with the Joneses
Chris, it looks to me that the House GOP Leadership would rather revert to the GOP of Rep. Bob Michel rather than fight a principled battle.
The Democrats controlled the House for forty years until Newt Gingrich had the intestinal fortitude to devise the Contract With America.
Think it is time for a new contract?

Day By Day January 9, 2013 – Back Door Man
Chris, it is difficult to tell the difference between President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, isn’t it?
Maybe the spontaneous whining and crying will give it away.
The President has been smart though to not bother Boehner with the backdoor – but front and center.
Obama has been playing Boehner like a fiddle – to the detriment of his Republican colleagues.

If the Republicans allow RINO Chuck Hagel to be confirmed, the military will surely decline.
Even New York Times columnist David Brooks understands what Obama is doing with the Chuck Hagel appointment.
As the federal government becomes a health care state, there will have to be a generation of defense cuts that overwhelm anything in recent history. Keep in mind how brutal the budget pressure is going to be. According to the Government Accountability Office, if we act on entitlements today, we will still have to cut federal spending by 32 percent and raise taxes by 46 percent over the next 75 years to meet current obligations. If we postpone action for another decade, then we have to cut all non-interest federal spending by 37 percent and raise all taxes by 54 percent.
As this sort of crunch gradually tightens, Medicare will be the last to go. Spending on things like Head Start, scientific research and defense will go quicker. These spending cuts will transform America’s stature in the world, making us look a lot more like Europe today. This is why Adm. Mike Mullen called the national debt the country’s biggest security threat.
Chuck Hagel has been nominated to supervise the beginning of this generation-long process of defense cutbacks. If a Democratic president is going to slash defense, he probably wants a Republican at the Pentagon to give him political cover, and he probably wants a decorated war hero to boot.

Day By Day January 6, 2013 – The Law: Bend it like Becket
Chris, the LEFT of which President Obama is the prime spokesman has always been intolerant of dissent.
Disdain for individual liberty and group-think are their trademarks.
Why you ask?
Because they think they know better…..

Day By Day January 3, 2013 – Own It
Chris, have you ever tried to enter a newsroom of a major metropolitan newspaper?
The press is guarded like Fort Knox gold with armed guards and other security protocols.
But, it is not good enough for the citizen who wants a gun to protect loved ones and family.
What a RIGHT to know…….
