BUT, BUT, BUT ... she’s not one of us.

Dorothy Rabinowitz explains why “it's impossible to imagine the Sarah Palin known to the world today as their leader.”

In truth, Ms. Rabinowitz does an excellent job of explaining why the media has been – and is still being – so defensive about President Obama and his Democrat supporters; her column oozes smug oil.

The day is rapidly approaching when the self-anointed discover that American wisdom is not confined to lower Manhattan.

OBAMA’S $1.5 BILLION FINANCING PLAN would help ‘struggling homeowners’ in 5 (of Obama’s 57) states: California, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan and Florida.

A cynic observes that “cash that was once going to buy up troubled assets but is now just a slush fund for politically motivated deficit spending from the executive branch ... the president’s political rainy day fund.”

UNGOVERNABLE? Charles Krauthammer says no: “Democrats failed because, thinking the economic emergency would give them the political mandate and legislative window, they tried to impose a left-wing agenda on a center-right country… That's not a structural defect. That's a textbook demonstration of popular will expressing itself -- despite the special interests -- through the existing structures. In other words, the system worked.”

IF THE SPECIAL COMMISSION INCLUDES cuts in government spending, one can rest assured it will fail in Congress.

The American people will stand for it; Congress will not.

AMERICA’S NEXT GREAT PUNDIT misses again.

As a parent of school-age children, I can join the amen chorus when Obama calls for more nutritious school meals, comprehensible food labels, helpful tips from pediatricians and changing the 1950s-era presidential physical fitness standards.

Young Mr. Huffman might not realize it, but it was his side, the progressive left, that in the 60’s lobbied to remove PE requirements from high schools and colleges; imposed building codes on kid’s tree houses and backyard forts; removed trampolines and jungle gyms (and dodge balls!) from schools; discouraged pick-up ball games in the vacant lot down the street; and on and on....

As a parent of a school-age child, why doesn’t Mr. Huffman get personally involved:

Make his child’s own school lunches (after reading the nutrition labels); my mother did.

Act on his own pediatrician's advice; I did for my kids.

And – say – walk his child to school; my daughter-in-law does for my granddaughter.

It’s Mr. Huffman’s responsibility to take care of his own – not mine.

GLENN BECK ADDRESSES CPAC: It’s “not enough to not suck as much as the other side.”
