OBAMA: now a “bitter clinger.” From an Obama supporter, no less!

MORNING READS from the Washington Examiner.

ANOTHER ‘OVERWHELMINGLY WHITE’ CROWD SPOTTED - and it’s not a Tea Party.

WHO IS that masked man?

THE "D" is for "desperation."

WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE? “Sharron Angle ‘campaigns at times with a .44 Magnum revolver in her 1989 GMC pickup.’ ”

PURITANISM 2.0: Victor Davis Hanson comments:

Americans do not like being lectured at, much less when those sermons are misdirected and lead to higher taxes, the creation of a preachy, Ivy-League overseeing class, and legions of federal employees whose prime directive is to vote in more politicians that give them more money with less accountability.

If they want to wear the hair shirt themselves, well and good. But I’m not willing to be fitted for one.

OBAMACARE: only a 47% rate hike.

TRUTH, not ideological balance. Well, yes, but if I can’t have truth, I’ll settle for balance.

THIS GUY'S GOTTA BE AN ENGINEER:

Thinking about Pres. Obama and numbers leads me to the conclusion that Pres. Obama is the square route [sic] of minus one. Point one, the square route [sic] of minus one is an imaginary number and when I hear him talk about economics–or most other subjects for that matter–it is clear he lives in an imaginary universe, not the one the rest of us live in. Point two, the mathematical term for the square route [sic] of minus one is “i”, and when you listen to Pres. Obama he is sure to remind you of that point because he uses the term repeatedly. In fact I’ve heard him use it several times in the same sentence as if we might forget – between words – just who it is that is screwing things up so badly.

Why he's an engineer - he's right, and he can't spell.

OBAMACARE: Laughter is the best medicine.

THE MEDIA CREATED THE TEA PARTY: "like a love struck teenybopper, [the media] fell in love and decided to run off with Barack Obama. It left a vacuum that others filled. [And] it’s too late to move back home ... they are carrying Obama’s love child and it’s too late for an abortion."

EDUCATORS, POLITICIANS just don’t get it. Perhaps it’s time to quit treating education as a right and reconstitute it as a privilege and responsibility.

IS CALIFORNIA INSANE? In a word, yes.

MEANWHILE, Chris Matthews is still an idiot.

DAVID BRODER can’t bring himself to say “Tea Party”: "As the gulf between GOP and Democrats widens, the center is lost."

The mainstream punditocracy has moved so far left that to them the center looks far right.

HEH: Now it's vacation time ... this from my employer's HR department.

Over the recent years, there has been an increasing level of scrutiny by the IRS of the entire area of how companies treat employee benefits and all forms of compensation to ensure proper compliance with Federal regulations. New laws and increasingly complex employee benefit plans have only added to the visibility and attention this area is receiving. [We continue] to strive to be at the forefront of protecting the company and all of our employees from any financial penalties that may arise from not complying with Federal regulations. As a result of our ongoing efforts, we are updating and revising our vacation policy to ensure enhanced compliance with IRS guidance.

First the Obama administration came for our health care, and we didn't protest. Then the Obama administration came for our vacation time, and we didn't protest ....
