HEH: The latest Democratic trouble is Obama's mouth.

ASK A DEMOCRAT: Where do jobs come from?

Answer: they're delivered by a Government stork....

TRIAL LAWYERS want to drug test California doctors. Society would be better served by drug testing trial lawyers....

MYCHAL MASSIE: Why I do not like the Obamas:

The other evening on my twitter, a person asked me why I didn't like the Obama's. Specifically I was asked: "I have to ask, why do you hate the Obama's? It seems personal, not policy related. You even dissed (disrespect) their Christmas family picture."

The truth is I do not like the Obamas, what they represent, their ideology, and I certainly do not like his policies and legislation. I've made no secret of my contempt for the Obamas. As I responded to the person who asked me the aforementioned question, I don't like them because they are committed to the fundamental change of my/our country into what can only be regarded as a Communist state.

I don't hate them per definition, but I condemn them because they are the worst kind of racialists, they are elitist Leninists with contempt for traditional America. They display disrespect for the sanctity of the office he holds, and for those who are willing to admit same, Michelle Obama's raw contempt for white America is transpicuous.

I don't like them because they comport themselves as emperor and empress.

I expect, no I demand respect, for the Office of President, and a love of our country and her citizens, from the leader entrusted with the governance of same. President and Mrs. Reagan displayed an unparalleled love for the country and her people. The Reagan's made Americans feel good about themselves and about what we could accomplish.

His arrogance by appointing 32 leftist czars and constantly bypassing congress is impeachable. Eric Holder is probably the MOST incompetent and arrogant DOJ head to ever hold the job. Could you envision President Reagan instructing his Justice Department to act like jack-booted thugs?

Presidents are politicians and all politicians are known and pretty much expected to manipulate the truth, if not outright lie, but even using that low standard, the Obama's have taken lies, dishonesty, deceit, mendacity, subterfuge and obfuscation to new depths. They are verbally abusive to the citizenry, and they display an animus for civility.

I do not like them, because they both display bigotry overtly, as in the case of Harvard Professor Louis Gates, when he accused the Cambridge Police of acting stupidly, and her code speak pursuant to now being able to be proud of America. I view that statement and that mind set as an insult to those who died to provide a country where a Kenyan, his illegal alien relatives, and his alleged progeny, could come and not only live freely, but rise to the highest, most powerful, position in the world.

Michelle Obama is free to hate and disparage whites because Americans of every description paid with their blood to ensure her right to do that.

I have a saying, that "the only reason a person hides things, is because they have something to hide." No president in history has spent over a million dollars to keep his records and his past sealed.

And what the two of them have shared has been proven to be lies. He lied about when and how they met, he lied about his mother's death and problems with insurance, Michelle lied to a crowd pursuant to nearly $500,000 bank stocks they inherited from his family. He has lied about his father's military service, about the civil rights movement, ad nausea. He lied to the world about the Supreme Court in a State of the Union address.

He berated and publicly insulted a sitting Congressman. He has surrounded himself with the most rabidly, radical, socialist academicians today. He opposed rulings that protected women and children that even Planned Parenthood did not seek to support. He is openly hostile to business and aggressively hostile to Israel.

His wife treats being the First Lady as her personal American Express Black Card (arguably the most prestigious credit card in the world). I condemn them because, as people are suffering, losing their homes, their jobs, their retirements, he and his family are arrogantly showing off their life of entitlement - as he goes about creating and fomenting class warfare.

I don't like them, and I neither apologize nor retreat from my public condemnation of them and of his policies. We should condemn them for the disrespect they show our people, for his willful and unconstitutional actions pursuant to obeying the Constitutional parameters he is bound by, and his willful disregard for Congressional authority.

Dislike for them has nothing to do with the color of their skin; it has everything to do with their behavior, attitudes, and policies. And I have open scorn for their constantly playing the race card.

I could go on, but let me conclude with this. I condemn in the strongest possible terms the media for refusing to investigate them, as they did President Bush and President Clinton, and for refusing to label them for what they truly are. There is no scenario known to man, whereby a white president and his wife could ignore laws, flaunt their position, and lord over the people, as these two are permitted out of fear for their color.

As I wrote in a syndicated column titled, "Nero In The White House" - "Never in my life, inside or outside of politics, have I witnessed such dishonesty in a political leader."

He is the most mendacious political figure I have ever witnessed. Even by the low standards of his presidential predecessors, his narcissistic, contumacious arrogance is unequaled. Using Obama as the bar, Nero would have to be elevated to sainthood.

Many in America wanted to be proud when the first person of color was elected president, but instead, they have been witness to a congenital liar, a woman who has been ashamed of America her entire life, failed policies, intimidation, and a commonality hitherto not witnessed in political leaders. He and his wife view their life at our expense as an entitlement - while America's people go homeless, hungry and unemployed.

TOM STEYER: a fool and his money.

DEMOCRATS GETTING DESPERATE: Slime is all they know....

MIT STUDENTS: 'Mars One' astronauts will starve to death.

Question: Would the United States exist as it is today if MIT students were around in 1492? Or during the westward expansion of the 1800's?

So much for the pioneering spirit....

TRIAL LAWYERS try to buy a Democratic majority.

Trial lawyers love Democrats because Democrats advance policies that help trial lawyers make money. More regulation and more legislation ... means more litigation.

Surprised?

ALL SMART, NO PHONE: Why mobile voice quality stinks.

WHO'D HAVE THUNK IT? Hispanics aren't gentry liberals.

YOU CAN'T QUIT: We need the money for bribes....

SURREAL: Wrong sperm, right baby: so why sue?

Poor kid....

EBOLA and electronic medical records. Make that 'any medical condition' and electronic medical records, the end game is the same and it isn't better medical care.

MICHELLE OBAMA'S school lunch.

Little wonder our children aren't learning; they're busy starving.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION: Do as we say, not as we do. Rules are for little people.

“WIFI IS A HUMAN RIGHT.” Are all Democrats this stupid, or just the ones running for political office?

THE LEFT’S LATEST JOKE: First Amendment is a barrier to countering Islamist ideology. Except that as absurd as it is, there are many on the Left who will take it seriously.

DEMOCRATS are losing the long war against voter ID. But maybe not fast enough....

KATE: 51.7% chance Obama resigns after the midterms. We should be so lucky....

THEY HATE US. They really, really hate us.

ONE DEMOCRAT'S war on women. How any self-respecting individual of the female sex (not gender, sex) could vote for this idiot is beyond me.

ARE MILLENIALS smarter than flatworms? Maybe -- we'll see in about a week.

RAIDER: a new approach to high-speed helicopter flight.

And it's a pretty aircraft.

HEH: "To be fair, Warren’s from Massachusetts, which is nowhere near either Vermont or New Hampshire".

THE ANSWER is 'yes' to both questions.

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT for not trusting me.

THAT'S WHAT SCARES ME. Obama Promises to Solve Ebola ‘Just Like We’ve Solved Every Other Problem’.

FALL FOLIAGE 2014: Week 4.

Lots of wind again this week, and much more leaf fall, and - finally - some color change beginning. Last week's picture is here, and you can click back to Week One from there.

POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures -- Groundhog Day redux -- is up. Here's my favorite this week:

It neatly encapulates the liberal mindset.

ON THE GOLF COURSE? Where was President Obama?

With a 'Do Not Disturb' sign at the gate....

HILLARY CLINTON: Business don’t create jobs! Then who does?

I repeat myself, but the question remains: are Democrats even capable of rational thought?

NY GOVERNOR admits Ebola quarantine policy could be unenforceable.

One has to wonder if Democrats are even capable of rational thought.

WASHINGTON POST ON EDUCATION: Colleges aren't the problem. K-12 is. Um, just where do you think those K-12 teachers are coming from?

Read it and weep.

YEAH, RIGHT: ‘Calibration error’ changes GOP votes to Dem in Illinois county.

FALL FOLIAGE 2014: Week three.

There's been a lot of leaf fall, given the winds we've had the last two days, but not much change in colors. Last week's picture is here, and you can click back to Week One from there.

NEVER LET a crisis go to waste.

POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES (quarantine edition) is up. My favorite (of many):

I'd suggest quarantining suspicious passengers in the East Room of the White House, but suddenly it doesn't seem sufficiently secure.

VIA INSTAPUNDIT: Seattle Socialist Group Pushing $20/hr Min. Wage Offers $13/hr for Web Developer.

Hypocrisy is that condition that applies when the Liberal 'reality' world collides with the real world.

IT'S PUNDAY! Why I don't carpool to work.

FALL FOLIAGE 2014: Here's the Week Two picture. We had a lot of wet and very little cool last week, so the leaves continue falling slowly, and there's still lots of green.

BUT ... comparing today's photo to last week, we may be looking to see some rather vibrant color later on this fall.

IT'S ONLY FAIR:

Health care worker at Dallas hospital tests positive for Ebola.

ENVIRONMENTAL' PROTECTION' AGENCY: Rules are for thee, not for me.

MORE: We're right even when we're wrong.

IEEE SPECTRUM: The Great Lightbulb Conspiracy. Will history repeat itself with the LED bulb?

IT USED TO BE A BUG; now it's a feature. The Left cheers as employers scale back health coverage.

You're better off in the bosom of the Fed....

NEXTGEN: FAA plan for skies with no drones is no plan at all.

In what can be considered as nothing less than a negligent lack of foresight, designers of the new U.S. air traffic control system that is supposed to be taking us into the future forgot to include drones in their planning.

Oops.

MICHAEL BARONE: Hey, let's have another housing crisis.

JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED: a wearable quadcopter.

'HUMAN RIGHTS' COMMISSION: Christian business owners should leave religion at home. If you read the actual ruling, you'll see there's plenty of silliness on both sides -- and of course the comments section (mostly from liberals) is completely off the wall.

We need to go back to the "I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, at any time, for any reason" rule that once held sway.

JOHNNY DRONEHUNTER: defender of privacy.

NEVER LET A CRISIS GO TO WASTE: Now they're coming for your children.

THE BETTER TO CONTROL YOU: "[I]n 40 states the largest insurers either maintained or boosted their market share through the health exchanges established by the Affordable Care Act."

With the Obama administration, crony capitalism is a feature, not a bug....

NOVEMBER 12, 2014: European Space Agency Sets Date for Comet Landing.

TOO YOUNG TO DIE; too old to worry:

When should we set aside a life lived for the future and, instead, embrace the pleasures of the present?

Actually, that's the wrong question. The right question is "When did we give up the right to live our lives freely, for better or worse, as we choose?"

ELECTION DAY IS NOVEMBER 4: Should you be allowed to vote?

ENTITLEMENTS AND CRONY CAPITALISM: ObamaPhone use in Maryland has grown 100-fold in 3 years.

Six-hundred-and-forty-five thousand Maryland residents had so-called ObamaPhones in 2012 — one hundred times as many people as there were in 2009, and double the number in that state who are supposed to be eligible for the program based on their income.

Ten bucks a month times 12 months times 645,000 (one in 10 Marylanders, by the way) is a fair chunk of change. Most of which goes to the crony capitalists who cozy up to the regulators.

THE ‘COMMON CALORIE’ REVOLT: Schools and students fight the tasteless, small lunches required by Michelle Obama’s signature initiative.

JACK DUNPHY: the allure of victimhood.

How dare you question her ... can't you tell she's a victim?

ANDREW KLAVAN: Cowls in the Hood.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Versailles in California. Life is good -- if you can afford it.

SPACE: to explore? Or pioneer? I still vote to pioneer.

HATE SPEECH: the Left’s term for an ‘opposing viewpoint’.

WELL, OF COURSE: Global warming, er, climate change, er, climate disruption causes ebola. And Jesse Jackson is there to make a buck.

DRUDGE on President Ebola Obama.

WASHINGTON D.C. passes concealed carry law. Yes, and the first licensee should complete his registration paperwork in ... let's see ... 2017 or so.

IT'S NOT just free speech:

The thinking at the IRS apparently is that we can’t have people educating others on inconvenient issues like the First Amendment’s freedom of political expression, the Second Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms or Article II’s requirement that the president faithfully execute the laws.

The media will be all over this story in 3 ... 2 ... uh, 2 ....

A LOOK at the unintended consequences of political correctness run amuck: The Vogue of "Social Responsibility".

YOU CAN BUILD THAT! -- if the bureaucrats will let you. This seems to me to be an under-written story about an under-appreciated population.

Republicans would be well-advised to take their concerns seriously.

FALL FOLIAGE 2014: Week One. The acorns started falling about a week ago, so here is the first of my weekly photos as the foliage changes at our house.

Since we've had what everyone seems to think was a cooler-than-normal summer, the common thought is that we're due for a colder -- and earlier -- winter. But looking back, I notice this year's first photo is only a week earlier than the one last year.

I guess the trees aren't watching the Weather Channel.
