How a "grass roots movement" starts

From the Weekly Standard...

"I don't know what she's going to do, but I do know this: The Democrats want her to run," said Carville, in response to a discussion about Clinton's future. "And I don't just mean a lot of Democrats. I mean a whole lot of Democrats, like 90 percent across the country. We just don't -- we just want to win. We think she's the best person and shut it down. And that's across the board."

So the archetypical Washington insider declares that the "people" want Hillary to run for president in 2016. Remember this when the MSM begin to report on the "groundswell" of support for Mrs. Clinton in 2 years.

the Likable lie

How can anyone say this guy was ever likable? Almost everything that comes out of Obama's mouth is arrogant, condescending, insulting, or all three! Here's the latest:

At a $20,000-per-ticket fundraising dinner at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, President Obama made a joke about Romney cracking down on the Muppets.

"Finally, somebody is cracking down on Big Bird," Obama quipped. "Elmo has been seen in a white Suburban. He's driving for the border."

Using a murder to score political points? He is unworthy of the office.

Will we be able to have a serious conversation

One of the things I truly admire about Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and Chris Christie is that all three men speak to their audiences as adults. They assume that the listener is thoughtful & intelligent and will therefore ignore sweeping cliches.

I don't know that we can count on that assumption, especially with CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS looking for ways to distort the serious ideas these men have put forth.
