“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” —Barack Obama, 2 July 2008

“Could a “Tea Party Supreme Court” save Obama’s bacon? | Hot Air”
– Here’s a strange question which I’ve also been considering lately, but from a very different angle than the subject of today’s discussion. Could a Supreme Court decision striking down the individual mandate in Obamacare – if not the entire law – actually work to Barack Obama’s favor in November? Bob...

President Obama Friday added more steel to his Iran policy, clearing the way for harsher sanctions on Tehran even though it will probably raise oil prices a bit and continue his political hurt at the pump.
Let’s be clear, a few pennies more at the tank would not have been as bad as having the Republicans blast him for not guarding the nation’s security. But still, it’s clear Obama is moving along...

The leader of the Catholic church in America clearly feels that, on the issue of forcing Catholic institutions to cover birth control, President Obama either misled him with assurances or reversed himself.

Rest Assured, Inflation Is Very Much With Us →
“I wonder if that’s why the US Department of Homeland Security is openly purchasing up to 625 million rounds of ammunition– as an inflation hedge. Perhaps as a matter of coincidence, buying up to 450 million .40 caliber hollow point rounds and up to 175 million .233 caliber rounds is enough to double-tap every man, woman, and child in the country.”

Reich: Political jujitsu to save health care law →
If the Supreme Court decides that the individual mandate requiring everyone to buy health insurance is an unconstitutional extension of federal authority, the law starts unraveling. But with a bit of political jujitsu, President Obama could turn that defeat into a victory for a single-payer health care system - Medicare for all. Here’s how:
The dilemma at the heart of the new law is that it...
