The New York Times reveals one of the President’s early influences:
Mr. Obama’s family rented the guest house inside a compound belonging to a prominent physician. There, according to the neighborhood’s longtime residents, the young Obama, who had already experienced differences in class and religion in his short stay in Indonesia, was exposed to another aspect of Jakarta’s diversity.
His nanny was an openly gay man who, in keeping with Indonesia’s relaxed attitudes toward homosexuality, carried on an affair with a local butcher, longtime residents said. The nanny later joined a group of transvestites called Fantastic Dolls, who, like the many transvestites who remain fixtures of Jakarta’s streetscape, entertained people by dancing and playing volleyball.
“He’d experienced differences.”
Mere code words, friends, mere code words.

Delusional. The George Soros-funded Institute for Policy Studies says progressives won the midterms and that President Obama should use that mandate to rule by fiat.
Delusional. There may be another way to describe progressives, but if there is it slips our minds at the moment.
Need proof? The George Soros-funded Institute for Policy Studies says progressives won the midterms and that President Obama should use that mandate to rule by fiat.
World Net Daily has the irrational ramblings and delusional details:
“Progressives won in the 2010 mid-term elections,” wrote Karen Dolan, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, or IPS, and director of the Cities for Progress and Cities for Peace projects based at the radical organization.
“The Congressional Progressive Caucus, the largest caucus in the House Democratic Caucus at over 80 members, emerged virtually unscathed, losing only three members,” she wrote, in the piece published on the IPS website.
… “The veil of a happy Democratic governing majority is finally lifted. We didn’t have it then; We don’t have it now. But what we do have now is a more solidly progressive bunch of Dems in Congress and a president presumably less encumbered by the false illusion that playing nice will get him a date with the other team.”
She went on to recommend that progressives “throw our support unabashedly behind the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and let’s push Obama to finally do the right thing through as many Executive Orders as we can present to him.”
“As many Executive Orders as we can present to him.” We? Apparently, Obama’s Executive Orders are now being written by George Soros and he’s not even pretending to support democracy any more.

We’re pretty sure the state of Massachusetts would take cash, check, money order or credit card, but it’s been three months and deadbeat John Kerry still hasn’t paid the taxes on his $7,000,000 yacht.
We’re pretty sure the state of Massachusetts would take cash, check, money order or credit card, but it’s been three months and deadbeat John Kerry still hasn’t paid the taxes on his $7,000,000 yacht.
The Boston Herald has all the taxing details:
You may recall that Kerry lowered the flag and surrendered in July, agreeing to pony up more than $400,000 to cover state taxes on the toney tub. Mr. Teresa Heinz broke out the checkbook four days after the Track set off a furious tempest with our report that he had purchased the 76-foot floating palace and ported her in Rhode Island, thus depriving the commonwealth of its pound of flesh.
A spokesman for the state Department of Revenue confirmed that “a sales tax return was filed” by Kerry last summer to cover state taxes that would have been owed, had he kept the Isabel in his home state’s waters. But according to the Nantucket tax collector, he never paid any excise taxes to the town on the Isabel.
Penalties? Interest? We doubt it.
Because when you’re John Kerry, what’s good for thee is never good for me.

The Left may have staged protests during his visit but US President Barack Obama was “glad” to meet an Indian communist leader last evening.
Awww. It looks like the President is getting a little homesick for Van Jones and Carol Moseley Braun.
NDTV has the story:
The Left may have staged protests during his visit but US President Barack Obama was “glad” to meet an Indian communist leader last evening.
“I am glad to meet an Indian communist. I am told that communists have been part of the (Indian) political mainstream,” Obama told CPM Politburo member Sitaram Yechury at the Rashtrapati Bhawan banquet as they were introduced and both shook hands.
Oh, how the President regrets that communists aren’t part of the political mainstream here in the United States. Oh, wait, we’re talking about Barack Obama. Looks like they already are.

It is no great secret that the entertainment industry would never let the truth get in the way of a good story. But with Fair Game Hollywood has put a new spin on a very old practice. It would seem that this go round they won’t let a good story get in the way of a political agenda.
No one will be happier to hear that than Patrick Fitzgerald. You remember Fitzgerald. He’s the federal prosecutor who got a conviction against Scooter Libby for supposedly lying about a crime – a crime that Fitzgerald knew had never been committed.
These days Fitzgerald’s in Chicago bumbling the case against Rod Blagojovich. Mostly because a serious prosecution of the colorful former governor might require evidence that could implicate President Obama.
Throw in the fact the whole controversy originally erupted because Plame used her position so that her husband could be given official government sanction to score political points against President Bush and that she effectively outed herself and you’d have a far more truthful and a far more compelling film.
Unfortunately we don’t see that one getting made any time soon.

Call us old fashioned, but we still think communism is a bad thing, a political philosophy responsible for more deaths and more misery than any other “ism” in human history. So, naturally, American commies are terribly disappointed that the Democrats didn’t do better in last week’s elections.

So, naturally, American commies are terribly disappointed that the Democrats didn’t do better in last week’s elections.
As election results roll in and the Republican party notches up a great victory for reaction, many people will probably ask, “How did this happen here?” How could an electorate fired up for progressive change just two years ago fall flat on its face? What did the Democratic Party do to lose the overwhelming support it received in the last election cycle?
Many will say that it is because fantastic amounts of money were unleashed to support the hysterical theatrics of the ultra-right as embodied in the Tea Party movement. This is, of course, correct…
However, there were some other factors that made it easier for the right wing to do their dirty work…Anti-communism has been unleashed once again through the voice of hysterical pundits and this has served to confuse the working people of this country. Anyone who falls to the left of Karl Rove on the political spectrum has been branded a “socialist” and many people fall for this since they don’t have a clue about what socialism really means. Socialists have failed to meet this challenge and have made little effort to clarify what socialism actually means.
It’s just an interesting twist of fate, we think, that communists should support Barack Obama, a guy who’s appointed more czars than anyone in history.
Or it may just be another case of liberal linguistic gymnastics.

One of Barack Obama’s Indonesian friends recalls that even as a child, Little Barry Soetoro was deceptive and manipulative.
One of Barack Obama’s Indonesian friends recalls that even as a child, Little Barry Soetoro was deceptive and manipulative.
At least that’s our take away from this anecdote in the New York Times:
In the compound, Mr. [Barry Soetoro] Obama often played with the two sons of the physician’s driver. One time, recalled the elder son, Slamet Januadi, now 52, Mr. Obama asked a group of boys whether they wanted to grow up to be president, a soldier or a businessman. A president would own nothing while a soldier would possess weapons and a businessmen would have money, the young Obama explained.
Mr. Januadi and his younger brother, both of whom later joined the Indonesian military, said they wanted to become soldiers. Another boy, a future banker, said he would become a businessman.
“Then Barry said he would become president and order the soldier to guard him and the businessman to use his money to build him something,” Mr. Januadi said. “We told him, ‘You cheated. You didn’t give us those details.’ ”
“But we all became what we said we would,” he said.
Yes, one became a banker, one became a soldier and one became a confiscatory leftist who thinks others are there to help him fulfill his redistributionist dreams.
That’s a beautiful childhood memory, damn it, and we found ourselves tearing up just a little bit as we read it.

That’s right, someone in Iran, home of the world’s strictest Muslim theocracy, is reading IHateTheMedia.com. We were even more surprised to see that he had landed on our “Fox News Anchor Babes In Short Skirts” story.
We have a reader in Iran. We don’t know exactly who he, but we have our suspicions.
We know this thanks to a website called StatCounter.com that provides a set of analytical tools that allow website owners to take a closer look their viewers. We can see things like total page views, unique page views, most popular pages, etc.
One of our favorite tools is the “Recent Visitor Map.” It shows the city and country of each of your website’s last 500 visitors, what IHTM page they landed on and their referring URLs.
So Friday at 10:39 p.m., just before calling it a night, we checked the Recent Visitor Map. The image at the top of this story is a cropped screen capture of that map. As you might expect, most of our visitors came from the United States, but others came from Canada, Australia, Brazil, Turkey, India, China, The Phillipines, and oddly enough, Iran.
That’s right, someone in Iran, home of the world’s strictest Muslim theocracy, is reading IHateTheMedia.com.
We assumed that visitor would be reading one of our stories about Muslims (sorry for the stereotype, but our experience has been that most of our hits from Muslim countries land on stories involving Muslims).
Anyway, we were surprised to see that the Iranian visitor was located in Tehran. We were even more surprised to see that he had landed on our “Fox News Anchor Babes In Short Skirts” story that we did about two years ago. And then we got the biggest surprise of all. This reader found IHateTheMedia.com by doing a Google search for “lovely older black hot ladies.”
Now we don’t care what this Iranian’s personal proclivities may be. To each his own. Traffic is traffic, so we certainly welcome visitors from all around the world.
And in that spirit we say, “Welcome, Mahmoud.” Your secret is safe with us.
You know that a man of Keith Olbermann’s immense talent wouldn’t have been out of work long when he can send out a demo reel featuring this kind of power, this kind of strength, this kind of intelligence, and dare we say it, this kind of charisma.
When a newscaster is looking for a new job, he puts together a reel of his best work and sends it out to prospective employers.
Before it was revealed that the entire Keith-Olbermann-has-been-suspended story was nothing but a publicity stunt, we had high hopes that Keith would end up as the co-anchor on a new Huntley-Brinkley style newscast with Dan Rather at the HD Network. Pairing those two losers would have been pure genius.

The center-left Süddeutsche Zeitung writes:
“Two years ago his vision inspired voters. Today the same man often sounds strangely bloodless. Back then his cool, self-assured composure impressed many, now the same character comes across as cold, arrogant, even elitist. The right may well put on a shrill rough performance, and stand in the media spotlight. However, this president was never going to win votes on the right anyway. Obama’s historic victory in 2008 was created by the middle of American society — the independent voters and the suburbanites. It is this center that has abandoned him.”
Strangely bloodless. Cold. Arrogant. Elitist.

In a little reported move, the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) announced on Oct. 21 that it will be ending carbon trading — the only purpose for which it was founded — this year.
We are sad to report the sudden, unexpected demise of the Chicago Climate Exchange.
PajamasMedia.com has the obituary:
Global warming-inspired cap and trade has been one of the most stridently debated public policy controversies of the past 15 years. But it is dying a quiet death. In a little reported move, the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) announced on Oct. 21 that it will be ending carbon trading — the only purpose for which it was founded — this year.
Although the trading in carbon emissions credits was voluntary, the CCX was intended to be the hub of the mandatory carbon trading established by a cap-and-trade law, like the Waxman-Markey scheme passed by the House in June 2009.
At its founding in November 2000, it was estimated that the size of CCX’s carbon trading market could reach $500 billion. That estimate ballooned over the years to $10 trillion.

TheHill.com has the party planning specifics:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will host a reception Wednesday afternoon on Capitol Hill to celebrate “The accomplishments of the 111th Congress,” according to an invitation sent out Monday.
The event will offer congressional Democrats, many of whom will not be returning to Congress next January, an opportunity to reflect on the party’s legislative victories over the past two years. These have included the passage of major healthcare reform, financial regulatory reform, and climate and energy legislation.
Not likely to be lost on attendees, however, is that the unpopularity of many of these “accomplishments” among voters went far to contribute to a wave of Democratic losses in last week’s mid-term elections, in which Democrats lost control of the House and their majority in the Senate was weakened.
You’ve been on double secret probation since the beginning of 2009, Nancy. And now that you failed your midterms, there’s only one answer.
Toga! Toga! Toga!

Yes, Curtis Sittenfeld, you are the last person in America who adores Obama. Even Chris Matthews, liberal rat he is, has jumped off the sinking Love Boat that is the Obama administration.
In a word, yes.
Yes, Curtis Sittenfeld, you are the last person in America who adores Obama. Even Chris Matthews, liberal rat he is, has jumped off the sinking Love Boat that is the Obama administration.
Let’s start with a few quick, slobbering, try-to-hide-the-bulge-in-your-pants (oh, wait, we forgot that “Curtis” is a woman) comments before we get to the heart of Curtis’ paean:
Two years after voting for him, I’m just as exhilarated as Oprah Winfrey was in Grant Park on Nov. 4, 2008. … I’ve remained in the tank for Obama … the thrill still hasn’t worn off for me of once again having an intellectually nimble president, not to mention one who doesn’t pride himself on going with his gut when it comes to foreign policy … when I see Obama on television, I’m unfailingly struck by his intelligence and charisma, by his easygoing humor, by the magnificence of his megawatt smile. He just makes me proud … my Obama admiration is a kind of emotional inverse of the right-wing Obama antipathy…
Consider that a mere warm-up, because we’re getting to the main event. Now Curtis begins working herself into a frenzy that can only end with an explosion of bodily fluids:
I like that he’s married to—and seemingly still quite taken with—a strong, opinionated, gorgeous woman, and that he has two ridiculously cute daughters. I like his mind-bendingly multicultural extended family. I like that in a campaign interview in Glamour magazine, he could fluently and unabashedly talk about Pap smears. I thought that the beer summit of 2009 was delightful. I was even excited when Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, not realizing until pundits explained otherwise that I was supposed to be aghast at its prematurity … I was one of those Democrats who thought it’d be nice to have an entrée of eight years of Hillary, with Obama as a vice-presidential side, followed by eight years of a more seasoned Obama as the main course. I was always an Obama admirer, but maybe the fact that I was initially rooting for Hillary has prevented me from feeling the disappointment in his presidency expressed by certain Obamamaniacs. So swoony and ardent was their Obama love during the campaign that it couldn’t be sustained; my more measured affection, by contrast, has grown over time.
At this point, I love Obama so much that I recently thought if it were 1961, I’d probably display a bust of him in my living room. Then I realized I’m already displaying the 2010 equivalent: On my living room wall, I have a framed version of that famous November 2008 New Yorker cover of the O moon over the Lincoln Memorial. Meanwhile, on my desk, I keep a printed-out photo I first saw on the Huffington Post in May 2009, of Obama in the Oval Office, bending over so a little African-American boy could rub his head. The boy, it turns out, was the child of a White House staffer, and the reason Obama was bending was, according to the caption in the White House’s Flickr account, “The youngster wanted to see if the President’s haircut felt like his own.”
I don’t care if it’s good PR—the picture still practically brings tears to my eyes. It reminds me of the sense of excitement and possibility I felt in November 2008, as if in electing Obama, we Americans were acting as our best, smartest, least racist selves, as if there really was change we could believe in. And, OK, so it’s been a long two years since then, and for a lot of people it’s been an undeniably hard two years. But I’m just not convinced that’s Obama’s fault.
For god’s sake, Curtis, get a room. You know, one of those rooms that rent for an hour where they don’t change the sheets between customers. Send us the bill.

Get ready to be surprised. Maybe even shocked. Back in 2005 Glenn Beck appeared on MSNBC’s Hardball to promote his book “The Real America: Messages from the Heart and Heartland.”
This was back in the days when Beck was still relatively unknown, long before his CNN TV show and when he still had relatively few affiliates in his radio network. It was also prior to MSNBC’s hard turn to the left.
The interesting thing about this interview is that Beck was still the same Beck we see today on Fox, but Matthews has changed completely.
You won’t believe it until you see it for yourself, and you may not even believe it then, but Matthews gushes over Beck. Repeatedly.
Going into a commercial break he says, “This guy’s a great guy, Glenn Beck. When I come to work really late I listen to the guy coming in to work. Glenn Beck.”
Later Matthews ends the interview by saying, “You’re great. I listen to your show all the time. I think you’re about 30 years older than you are. You’re amazingly smart for such a young guy.”

C’mon, President Obama, you’re starting to sound like Bill Clinton when he said “It depends on what the definition of is is.”
It’s jihad. It’s not that tough a concept.
“Well, the phrase Jihad has a lot of meanings within Islam, and is subject to a lot of different interpretations,” President Obama said. “…The overwhelming majority view their obligations to their religion as ones that reaffirm peace and justice and fairness and tolerance…”
We think the problem here is homophonic. All this time we thought people were saying, “Islam is a religion of peace” when they were actually saying “Islam is a religion of pieces.”
As in, “After the suicide bomber set off his bomb, there was a piece of him over here and another piece of him over there, because, you know, Islam is a religion of pieces.”

It’s fair to say that the Taliban employ the world’s worst suicide bombers: one in two manages to kill only himself.
The Atlantic points out that the Taliban may be the Keystone Kops of terrorists:
To be sure, some terrorists are steely and skilled—people like Mohamed Atta, the careful and well-trained head of the 9/11 hijackers. Their leaders and recruiters can be lethally subtle and manipulative, but the quiet truth is that many of the deluded foot soldiers are foolish and untrained, perhaps even untrainable…
Nowhere is the gap between sinister stereotype and ridiculous reality more apparent than in Afghanistan, where it’s fair to say that the Taliban employ the world’s worst suicide bombers: one in two manages to kill only himself. And this success rate hasn’t improved at all in the five years they’ve been using suicide bombers, despite the experience of hundreds of attacks—or attempted attacks. In Afghanistan, as in many cultures, a manly embrace is a time-honored tradition for warriors before they go off to face death. Thus, many suicide bombers never even make it out of their training camp or safe house, as the pressure from these group hugs triggers the explosives in suicide vests. According to several sources at the United Nations, as many as six would-be suicide bombers died last July after one such embrace in Paktika.
Way to go, Taliban. Keep up the good work.

The New York Post has the lurid details:
CNN anchor Kyra Phillips’ pregnancy with John Roberts could bring big changes at “American Morning,” insiders say. Roberts, who broadcasts from New York, is likely to move to Atlanta to be with his fiancée, who’s expecting twins. Since CNN ex-president Jon Klein recently rebuilt the prime-time lineup, insiders say his replacement, Ken Jautz, will focus on daytime, and his first step will be to dismantle “American Morning,” the lowest-rated cable morning show. We hear the staff is frustrated with co-anchors Roberts and Kiran Chetry.
“John is a tyrant, freaking out over stories and guests, and Kiran is dumb as a rock,” a staffer said. “He has a chip on his shoulder because he was considered the heir apparent to Dan Rather at CBS.” During an interview with David Axelrod last month, Roberts snapped at Chetry on-air for typing too loud. Chetry could be the first go.
The only thing that could make this story better would be a DNA test proving that Larry King is real father of Kyra Phillips’ twins.

The US President’s former grade three teacher said that Mr Obama – who was known as “Barry” when he attended the Menteng One school in Jakarta – studied the Koran and went to classes on Islam, despite the objections of Anne Dunham, a Roman Catholic.
When a guy reaches the ripe old age of 40 with no accomplishments on his record yet still manages to churn out two autobiographies, you’d think he’d need to dredge up every possible story from his past to fill a few pages.
But, no, not if that man is Barack Obama. If you’re Barack Obama, your life has been so eventful that you actually need to suppress a few memories.
Like this one, for example:
The US President’s former grade three teacher said that Mr Obama – who was known as “Barry” when he attended the Menteng One school in Jakarta – studied the Koran and went to classes on Islam, despite the objections of Anne Dunham, a Roman Catholic.
The teacher’s recollections will add to speculation about Mr Obama’s links to Islam during his much-anticipated visit to Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, as part of his ten-day tour of Asia.
…Mr Obama attended classes on Islam while the Christians attended classes on Christianity, said Effendi. Barry, he said, was alone among the pupils in that he insisted on attending both.
“His mother did not like him learning Islam, although his father was a Muslim. Sometimes she came to the school; she was angry with the religious teacher and said ‘Why did you teach him the Koran?’” said Effendi.
“But he kept going to the classes because he was interested in Islam. He would also join the other pupils for Muslim prayers.”
Yup. We’re going with the suppressed memory concept. We’re sure that it was traumatic for the young lad and he was merely suppressing the memories to avoid the pain they trigger.

The midterm election results prove Sarah Palin continues to be a formidable force in US politics. Since facts bear this out as most of her candidates won, MSNBC was left with no choice but to make stuff up about her. In other words, it was business as usual at the leftist network.
In between their usual sniping snippets of FOX envy, and snark-snogged attacks on all things conservative, the President’s propaganda channel dedicated delusional Eddie Schultz’s closing segment to an ad hominem Palin attack, along with the obligatory bobble-head guest bought on to parrot his points, this time in the form of HuffPo’s Roy Sekoff, who mimicked the host with his “The Palin factor is really no factor at all.”
Really, gentlemen?
From CBS:
CBS News Correspondent Jeff Glor reports, the former GOP vice presidential nominee backed forty-three candidates for the House. Thirty of them won, with races involving nine others still undecided.
Her record in Senate races was closer: She endorsed twelve candidates. Seven won.
Though it’s been fifteen months since Palin stepped down as Alaska governor, she was very much in this election, stumping for candidates across the country, skewering President Obama at every turn.
“My observation of Sarah Palin,” says CBS News political analyst Nicolle Wallace, “is that she is one of the shrewdest political figures in our country at this moment. She’s also one of the most electric.”
Rather than “Lean Forward’ perhaps the network could have went with a motto more literal to their agenda:
“MSNBC – Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.”
