My, oh my, how the mighty have fallen.

On February 22, 2008, future and now-former CNN Hostess  Kathleen Parker wrote the following, as reported on realclearpolitics.com:

Barack Obama has many appealing qualities, not least his own reluctance to be swaddled in purple. Nothing quite says, “I’m only human” like whipping out a hankie and blowing one’s nose in front of 17,000 admirers. The audience’s applause was reportedly awkward, as if the crowd was both approving of anything their savior did, but a little disappointed at this rather ungodly behavior.

So what is the source of this infatuation with Obama? How to explain the hysteria? The religious fervor? The devotion? The weeping and fainting and utter euphoria surrounding a candidate who had the audacity to run for leader of the free world on a platform of mere hope?

…It is thus no surprise that the young are enamored of Obama. He’s a rock star. A telegenic, ultra-bright redeemer fluent in the planetary language of a cosmic generation. The force is with him.

But underpinning that popularity is something that transcends mere policy or politics. It is hunger, and that hunger is clearly spiritual. Human beings seem to have a yearning for the transcendent — hence thousands of years of religion — but we have lately shied away from traditional approaches and old gods.

Thus, in post-Judeo-Christian America, the sports club is the new church. Global warming is the new religion. Vegetarianism is the new sacrament. Hooking up, the new prayer. Talk therapy, the new witnessing. Tattooing and piercing, the new sacred symbols and rituals.

And apparently, Barack Obama is the new messiah.

Here’s how a 20-year-old woman in Seattle described that Obama feeling: “When he was talking about hope, it actually almost made me cry. Like it really made sense, like, for the first, like, whoa … ”

This New Age glossolalia may be more sonorous than the guttural emanations from the revival tent, but the emotion is the same. It’s all religion by any other name.

Whatever the Church of Obama promises, we should not mistake this movement for a renaissance of reason. It is more like, well, like whoa.

From bible.com:

Matthew 7:16-20, English Standard Version:

16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.

After two years of horribly mishandling the most important job in the entire world, the Liberals’ “New Messiah’s” crown is weighing heavily upon the Leader of the Regime.

During a recent session with Hearst publishers and editors at the White House, Scooter whined that while he loves his life in the White House, he doesn’t enjoy some of the ways of Washington, like the “kabuki dance” among  professional politicians (like him) before serious policy discussions begin…and the most powerful man in the Free World petulantly mourns his loss of personal privacy.

I just miss – I miss being anonymous. I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can’t take a walk.

And, by the way, there is a legitimate reason for those 60-something golf outings since Scooter’s been president:

It’s the only excuse I have to get outside for four hours at a stretch.

You could do something more worthwhile, Scooter, to “get outside”. Like, go visit our wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital, without the cameras, like President Bush did.

Obama concluded his Pity Party by saying:

I just want to go through Central Park (in New York) and watch folks passing by … spend the day watching people. I miss that.

Yesterday, per rasmussenreports.com:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 19% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Thirty-nine percent (39%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -20 (see trends).

Today’s numbers reflect the lowest level of Strong Approval yet recorded for this president. There has been a sharp decline in enthusiasm among liberal voters.

Currently, just 37% of liberals Strongly Approve of the president’s performance. That’s down from 63% a year ago, 57% at the beginning of 2011, and 52% a week ago. Some liberal commentators have expressed disappointment with the president over the extension of the Bush tax cuts, the military action in Libya, and, most recently, the budget deal to avert a partial shutdown of the federal government. While liberal enthusiasm may be declining, 57% of voters believe the president is more liberal than they are.

Evidently, Mr. President, you’re not alone in your longing for your past anonymity.

Now that the Circus Parade that was last week’s Budget battle is over with, the street sweeper has shown up, ready and eager to take credit for all the entertainment.

Per wsj.com, President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmm) will grace us with a national address on television this Wednesday night.  During  the upcoming speech, he will unveil his brilliant plan to reduce America’s deficit,  after the parade has passed him by.

But that’s not all.  America’s sooooper genius will also present a plan to rid those evil, rich people of some more of their money, in order to spread the wealth around.

During this Wednesday’s speech, the president will unveil his plans for cuts to entitlement programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, and changes to Social Security. He also will premier plans tax increases for people making over $250,000 a year, which are contained in his 2012 budget, and, of course, our socialist president wants to change parts of the tax code he thinks benefit the wealthy.

David Plouffe, a senior White House adviser, hit the Sunday morning talks shows yesterday, as a messenger, or herald, trumpeting the upcoming arrival of the Leader of the Regime and the magnificence of his upcoming pronouncement:

Every corner of the federal government has to be looked at here. Revenues [tax increases] are going to have to be part of this.

Wow. It’s pretty easy to be brave after the first wave takes all of the enemy’s fire for you, isn’t it?

According to White House insiders, Obama’s planned speech has caught Democrats in Congress off guard, and no one seems to know the details of the speech itself.

According to Plouffe, Obama will name a specific amount for deficit reduction, although, so far, the White House has kept mum about the amount.

Obama’s and his Administration’s excuse for the after-the-fact nature of this Presidential Address is that, even though they have long been working on a comprehensive plan to tackle the country’s debt, they waited so they would not complicate budget negotiations that almost shut down the government.

Rep. Eric Cantor (R – VA), the No. 2 Republican in the House, is not buying what the White House is selling. According to Cantor, Obama already passed up his chance to show how serious he is about deficit reduction with his 2012 budget:

Instead of returning back to the age-old playbook of raising taxes so that spending can continue, I think maybe the White House ought to take a look at what we’re talking about…which is to cut spending as well as to reform these entitlement programs.

Rep. Cantor said that the debate over top personal-income-tax rates has already been “settled” by last year’s elections and the end-of-the-year tax deal:

It was then that we all agreed it wouldn’t be a good thing if we want to see job creation for taxes to go up.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) released a plan last week that would make permanent the tax cuts approved under President George W. Bush. It would also close loopholes and lower tax rates. Ryan’s plan would essentially privatize Medicare and cut Medicaid spending by turning the program over to states to run. The GOP plan cuts $6.2 trillion over 10 years. Mr. Obama’s budget forecast a $1 trillion cut over the same period.

No one is sure what sort of Medicare cuts that Obama will be offering in his speech on Wednesday night. Plouffe would only say in his Sunday talk show appearances that the White House supports the Ryan provisions that preserve Medicare savings already in the health law. Regarding Social Security, Plouffe would only say that Obama is willing to work with Congress on a long-term plan.

Obama’s fellow Democrats are not impressed.

Around a month ago, senior Congressional Democrats pleaded with the White House to get involved in some bipartisan deficit-reduction talks led by a group of senators known as the Gang of Six. The Democrats thought that Obama could influence the talks before they became too focused on spending cuts. A Democrat from that group said that they never saw any help from the White House in the matter.

Norman Matoon Thomas (1884-1968) was a six-time Presidential Candidate  representing the Socialist Party of America.  In a campaign interview in 1948, he said the following:

The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.

Merriam-webster.com defines socialism as:

…any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

…a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state

…a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

Are you catching my drift? Mr. Thomas was right.  I think that he and the president would have been fast friends.

Pop Quiz, Gentle Reader.  Here is a post from The Conference.Blog from gop.gov.  When was it written:  A) June 22, 2010 B) December 3, 2010 C) April 8, 2011 ?

No fair looking  it  up.

…Steny Hoyer has finally admitted the sad truth that Democrats had been avoiding since the _______ deadline to pass a federal budget came and went over _______—the House will not pass a budget resolution for the first time since modern budgeting began. According to press reports, the reason Democrats refuse to address the fiscal crisis facing our country is because “there’s little appetite for taking on these issues in an election year.” It seems that Democrats are content to spend this election year hiding the true costs and record deficits of their big government policies.

…Hoyer has recently attempted to position himself as a fiscal hawk, saying in ______, “The course we are on leads to debt that exceeds the value of our entire economy. To a government that does nothing but pay for entitlements and pay interest to our creditors. And an end to American leadership in the world. ” Sadly, it seems that partisan election-year politics are more important to Democrats than America’s leadership in the world.

Hoyer told the press, “It isn’t possible to debate and pass a realistic, long-term budget until we’ve considered the bipartisan commission’s deficit-reduction plan, which is expected in December.” [Hoyer] is referring to the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, which was established by a presidential executive order (EO) on February 18, 2010, to “address our nation’s fiscal challenges.” The glaring problem with Leader Hoyer’s excuse is that the Commission was never meant to have any effect on the FY ____ budget process, and no Democrat ever asserted that this year’s budget depended on the Commission’s recommendations.

The American people deserve a budget from the House, not a political smokescreen. The Commission was created by a presidential decree and has nothing to do with the Democrats’ responsibility to pass an annual budget. Passing an annual budget is undisputedly the responsibility of Congress and is being shirked by Democrats so they can hide their big spending…

For those of you who picked June 22, 2010, you are absolutely correct.

The Dems have been kicking the can of worms known as the Budget down the road for a long time now.

You see, if they actually passed some limitations, they would not be able to continue recklessly spending our money.

The problem is, even though they are the ones responsible for not passing a Federal Budget when they controlled Congress, you wouldn’t know it by their comments:

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said:

This is no longer about budget issues it’s about bumper stickers.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. whined:

It would be a tragic mistake to force a government shutdown, but doubly tragic if the shutdown were on issues not related to spending.

Democrats are telling their minions in the Main Stream Media, and anyone else who will listen, that this is no longer a fight over numbers but rather about ideology, a blatant attempt to shift the blame that they shoulder to the back of the Tea Party.

The callous Democratic Politicans are also using the unborn as pawns in their poltical blame game, identifying a rider in the Republicans’ proposal for a temporary extension of spending that would outlaw federal funds for abortions in Washington, D.C., which they claim that they cannot support.

Republican leader Mitch McConnell said that they’re just trying to shift blame, as Senate Majority Leader Reid, D-Nev., Durbin and even the Leader of the Regime himself, President Barack Hussein Obama, have used the very same language in the past.

McConnell charges that if a shutdown does occur, Democrats would have

no one to blame but themselves.

The Democrats refuse to admit their liability for this fiasco.  On March 29th, for Majority Leader of the House Steny Hoyer said:

It’s self-evident we don’t control Washington, or we wouldn’t be having this problem.

No, you wouldn’t, Steny.  You guys would just kick it down the road again.

So, what is United States President Barack Hussein Obama, the Leader of the Free World, doing about this impasse?

Well, other than making some vague threats and blaming the Republicans, not a whole lot.

Scooter and the gang issued this State of Administrative Policy yesterday:

The Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.R. 1363, making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, and for other purposes. As the President stated on April 5, 2011, if negotiations are making significant progress, the Administration would support a short-term, clean Continuing Resolution to allow for enactment of a final bill.

For the past several weeks, the Administration has worked diligently and in good faith to find common ground on the shared goal of cutting spending. After giving the Congress more time by signing short-term extensions into law, the President believes that we need to put politics aside and work out our differences for a bill that covers the rest of the fiscal year. This bill is a distraction from the real work that would bring us closer to a reasonable compromise for funding the remainder of Fiscal Year 2011 and avert a disruptive Federal Government shutdown that would put the Nation’s economic recovery in jeopardy.

Besides, the American public is actually figuring out which party is to blame for this mess.

Our post-racial President, Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) spoke to the National Action Network, the Reverend Al Sharpton’s civil rights group, Wednesday in New York City.

Obama told his gathered admirers that he knew that there are times when people “lose hope” over whether national politics will ever change.

However, Obama stood by his miserable record of the first two years of his feckless presidency:

In America, we rise and fall together.

Boasting about his pet projects such as Obamacare, education, and the Food Police, the president asked the crowd to keep working with him:

We will build an America where the ideals of justice and equality and opportunity are alive and well. And we will reclaim the American dream in our time.

Translation: Share the wealth, Baby!

Obama also told the crowd that he was not out of touch:

I remember what it was like pumping gas.

Excuse me, Mr. President.  Do you have any Grey Poupon?

Last night, Obama was keeping a promise he made to return to speak to the group, after appearing as a presidential candidate in 2007.

Scooter told Reverend Al’s group that his administration has more work to do to create opportunities for all Americans and close gaps in education and employment rates between different groups.

Translation: As I said, share the wealth, Baby!

Obama told those assembled that, Americans of all types are struggling to make good. Obama then said that the black community faces higher unemployment than other groups. And he made the claim that the poorest in society had to sacrifice the most during the recession.

About Reverend Al’s National Action Network…

Per discoverthenetworks.org:

The National Action Network (NAN) was established in New York City in 1991 by Al Sharpton (its founder and president) and a group of activists who were “committed to the principles of non-violent direct action and civil disobedience.” NAN was formally incorporated as a not-for-profit 501(c)(4) organization on April 4, 1994 — a date chosen for its significance as the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s 1968 assassination; NAN’s founders saw themselves as “the keepers of the dream that Dr. King lived and died for.” The organization’s first national headquarters were situated in the heart of “Black Brooklyn”; in 1995 they were relocated permanently to Harlem. Today NAN consists of more than 40 chapters and thousands of members nationwide.

Viewing the United States as a nation rife with racism and discrimination against black people, NAN seeks to promote “the complete liberation of African-Americans from all injustices visited upon them as such so that they may receive ultimate recognition as free and equal members of the human community.” Toward that end, the organization is “vigilant and vigorous in fighting any discrimination based on the color of a person’s skin,” and works “for the passage of laws ensuring equal treatment … of all persons.” The motto of NAN’s “fight for social justice” is: “No justice, no peace.”

…NAN boasts with particular pride of having “spearheaded” the “historic Redeem the Dream March against police brutality and racial profiling.” Held in Washington, DC in August 2000, this event commemorated the 37th anniversary of the famous “I Have A Dream” speech which Martin Luther King, Jr. had delivered in that same city. At the NAN event, which was co-sponsored by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, one of the the featured speakers was Malik Zulu Shabazz. During his talk, Shabazz called on black young people, including “gang members,” to unite against their “common enemy” – i.e., “white America” and its allegedly racist police departments. He also articulated a “black dream that when we see caskets rolling in the black community … we will see caskets and funerals in the community of our enemy as well.”

Post-racial…yeah, right.

Earlier in the day , Scooter was trying to gin up excitement for American (Green) energy independence in Pennsylvania. Obama complained about how tough it’s going to be to get away from America’s dependence on oil. He then told those assembled at a wind turbine plant outside Philadelphia, that there’s little he can do to lower gasoline prices over the short term:

I’m just going to be honest with you. There’s not much we can do next week or two weeks from now.

Obama said that he wants to move toward

a future where America is less dependent on foreign oil, more reliant on clean energy produced by workers like you He has set a goal of reducing oil imports by one-third by 2025.

Especially since one of his best friends, Jeffrey Immelt, the head of GE, has heavily invested his company’s future in Green Energy.

According to Scooter, the move to Green Energy will not be easy, and anyone who says different, well…

they’re not telling the truth.

And as far as gas prices, gentle reader? He does not care:

Gas prices? They’re going to still fluctuate until we can start making these broader changes, and that’s going to take a couple of years to have serious effect.

With the Federal Government on the brink of a shutdown, due to his Democratic Congress kicking last year’s Federal Budget down the road, Americans struggling with outrageous gas prices and looming inflation hitting them in the face every time they go to the grocery store, Obama decides it’s time to start his re-election campaign.

Priorities…priorities.

In another Pot meet Kettle moment in the illustrious reign of President Barack Hussein Obama, Dear Leader called on Congress, especially Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner, to act like “grown-ups” after a day of Democratic posturing and Republican resolve.

Obama came down from the mountaintop and made a surprise appearance at yesterday’s White House press briefing, after imperiously staying on the sidelines in the contentious Congressional budget battle for the last several weeks. The Leader of the Regime made a promise to hold meetings around-the-clock in an effort to stop Friday’s looming Government Shutdown.

Scooter announced that he would not sign off on a Republican proposal for a third short-term spending deal, unless it’s a preliminary document to a final bipartisan agreement.

Obama, looking a little less than cool, proclaimed that Republicans need to “act like grownups” and get a Budget done (Of course, he did not mention the fact that his Democratic Congress worked all last year without a Budget.).

Obama boasted that:

We have more than met the Republicans half way.

He was referring to an agreement on $73 billion in cuts from his 2011 budget, a number originally offered by Speaker Boehner.

Ever the showman, Obama held his thumb and forefinger an inch apart and said:

We are now closer than we’ve ever been in getting an agreement.

Obama suggested that he might have to postpone his trip to Philadelphia today, in order to appear presidential and put his two cents into the Budget talks (Oh, joy and rapture.).

There are some things we can’t control… like earthquakes and tsunamis… What we can control is our capacity to have a reasoned, fair conversation between the parties.

I think the American people recognize we are in some pretty unsettled times right now, we don’t have times for games, we don’t have time for trying to score political points and maneuvering… Not on this.

Mr. President, methinks you had best put a muzzle on your gal, Pelosi, then:

Yesterday, the former (Thank you, Lord.) Speaker of the House said:

In one of the bills before us, six million seniors are deprived of meals — homebound seniors are deprived of meals. People ask us to find our common ground, the middle ground. Is middle ground three million seniors not receiving meals? I don’t think so. We’ve got to take this conversation from a debate about numbers and dollar figures and finding middle ground there to the higher ground of national values. I don’t think the American people want any one of those six million people to lose their meals or the children who are being thrown off of Head Start and the rest of it.

Which is it, Nancy, six million or three million? Make up your rapidly deteriorating, melodramatic mind!

Speaker Boehner told reporters that even though he tought that the meeting went well, they are nowhere close to a Budget deal. He issued a statement, saying:

Despite attempts by Democrats to lock in a number among themselves, I’ve made clear that their $33 billion is not enough.

In the statement, Boehner called the president’s proposal “smoke and mirrors” and asked that the White House accept a new one-week extension with a year-long guarantee for military spending.

According to Obama, Boehner and Reid will meet later today, and they have asked for administration officials to stay away.

The petulant President whined:

The speaker apparently didn’t want our team involved in that discussion. That’s fine. If they can sort it out, then we’ve got more than enough to do. If they can’t sort it out then, I want them back here tomorrow. But it would be inexcusable for us to not be able to take care of last year’s business.

Last year’s business that your Democratic Congress blew off.

According to Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck, Obama did not describe the Boehner/Reid meeting accurately:

The Speaker never said he didn’t want the White House there, just that he wanted to meet with Senator Reid. Speaker Boehner and Senator Reid have been having regular discussions on this topic for weeks. This is just one of those occasions.

According to the president, several functions would stop if the government shuts down Friday, including some veterans’ benefits, small business loans and national parks and monuments.

Did he go to the same drama school as Pelosi?

Obama made the remark lawmakers have “enough of a cushion” that is not available to other Americans.

Like the millions of dollars that you and the First Lady are sitting on, Mr. President?

Mr.  President, if you think that your petulant pronouncements yesterday were grown-up behavior, I do not think that you know what that word means.

KJ UPDATE 4/6/11 8:18 AM: SO MUCH FOR THOSE AROUND-THE-CLOCK MEETINGS, HUH?

KJ UPDATE  4/6/11 4:46 PM: SPEAKER BOEHNER TELLS SCOOTER:

WHOOP!  THERE IT IS!

Well, if appears that the Radical Left, the Radical Muslims, and fellow traveler, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, are not going to be able to put on a “really big shoe” (as Ed Sullivan used to say).

Per foxnews.com, Khalid Sheik Muhammed, who has been incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since 2006, after being captured in Pakistan in 2003, and four alleged Sept. 11 co-conspirators, will face prosecution by a military commission in Guantanamo, instead of being the star attractions in an “Ain’t America Awful” series of show trials in New York City.

Attorney General Holder made the announcement today, purely disgusted that he could not put the city of New York in peril and put America on Trial at the same time.

Holder, determined not to acknowledge the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans did not want to try Muslim Terrorists in New York City in the first place, blamed Congress for tying the Obama administration’s hands in trying the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and his accomplices.  AG Holder was noticably upset as he announced that he was left without a choice.

Holder blasted Congress for blocking any detainees from being tried in the U.S.  He claimed that the “unwise and unwarranted restrictions” placed on trying the Terrorists by Congress undermine the U.S. in counter-intelligence and counter-terror efforts.

Seemingly on the verge of either a meltdown or tears, Holder said that as a native New Yorker, he knows as well as anyone the federal court’s capacity to try the suspects. He then said that he’s intimately familiar with the cases, much moreso than congressional members, or the public, who opposed allowing the cases to be held in the United States.

Well, he should be, because he’s the Attorney General.  But, then again, he’s very familiar with Muslim Terroists in general.

As I reported in my post Holder:  Failure is Not an Option:

…from 2001 until he became Attorney General, Holder worked in private practice for the prestigious law firm of Covington and Burling.  Researching his time there is quite illuminating.  Can you say Conflict of Interest?

In her best-seller, Culture of Corruption, Michelle Malkin wrote:

One wonders what the Obamas would say about Holder’s lucrative work for Chiquita Brands International if it had been performed by, say, John McCain’s top lawyer? As chief counsel for the global company, Holder won a “slap-on-the-wrist plea deal to charges that it had paid off” Colombian paramilitary death squads. Liberal critics of Holder point out that he used his influence as a former Clinton Justice Department official to negotiate a sweetheart deal for Chiquita.

…Putting on the best terrorist defense is a Covington & Burling specialty. Among the firm’s other celebrity terrorist clients: 17 Yemenis held at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. The law firm employed dozens of radical attorneys such as David Remes and Marc Falkoff to provide the enemy combatants with more than 3,000 hours of pro bono representation. Covington & Burling co-authored one of three petitioners’ briefs filed in the Boumediene v. Bush detainee case, and secured victories for several other Gitmo enemy combatants in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Falkoff went on to publish a book of poetry, Poems from Guantanamo: The Detainees Speak, which he dedicated to the suspected terrorists: “For my friends inside the wire, Mahmoad, Majid, Yasein, Saeed, Abdulsalam, Mohammed, Adnan, Jamal, Othman, Adil, Mohamed, Abdulmalik, Areef, Adeq, Farouk, Salman, and Makhtar. Inshallah, we will next meet over coffee in your homes in Yemen.”

But, hey, that’s not the reason.  It’s because he’s so much smarter that everybody else.  Just ask the AG:

Do I know better than them? Yes. I respect their ability to disagree but they should respect that this is an executive branch function, a unique executive branch function.

Prosecutors from both the Departments of Defense and Justice have been working together since the beginning of this matter, and I have full faith and confidence in the military commission system to appropriately handle this case as it proceeds.

KSM’s co-conspirators are Walid Muhammed Salih Mubarak Bin Attash, Ramzi Bin Al Shibh, Ali Abdul-Aziz Ali and Mustafa Ahmed Al Hawsawi. The five Muslim Terrorists are accused of killing 2,976 people, all named in an 81-page indictment dismissed which was unsealed Monday by a federal judge.

The order to dismiss signed by U.S. District Judge Kevin Duffy reads:

Because a timely prosecution in federal court does not appear feasible, the attorney general intends to refer this matter to the Department of Defense to proceed in military commissions.

So, there you have it.  AG Holder and his boss, Scooter, were foiled in their plans to put America on trial in front of the world, in the very city that experienced the worst Terrorist attack on American soil.

Their planned Dog and Pony show, not only was a horrible idea, it was a degradation….a dragging-though-the-mud of our nation and the horrific images and memories that remained seared in our minds to this day.

Obama and Holder ought to be be ashamed for even proposing such a crass idea.

But, they aren’t…and more’s the pity.
