Voter ID terrifies Obamacrats - "On Dec. 23, Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez sent a letter ordering South Carolina to stop enforcing its photo ID law. Mr. Perez, who heads the Civil Rights Division that booted charges against the New Black Panther Party for intimidating voters in Philadelphia in 2008, said South Carolina’s law would disenfranchise thousands of minority voters. South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson rejected Mr. Perez’s math and explained on Fox News why the law is necessary. The state Department of Motor Vehicles audited a state Election Commission report that said 239,333 people were registered to vote but had no photo ID. The DMV found that 37,000 were deceased, more than 90,000 had moved to other states, and others had names not matched to IDs. That left only 27,000 people registered without a photo ID but who could vote by signing an affidavit as to their identity." http://ping.fm/FwRoW

Hawker requests GAO review of Air Force deal | Sen. Jerry Moran said Tuesday that the Kansas Congressional delegation has insisted that the Air Force meet with Hawker Beechcraft on the reasons it told the company it isn’t eligible to bid on the $1 billion contract. It’s asking the Secretary of the Air Force to have a conversation about those reasons. 'It’s not that Hawker didn’t win the contract,' Moran said. 'It was in the late stage of the contract they were told they were an ineligible bidder. That makes no sense, and there certainly needs to be an explanation.'" http://ping.fm/KID0R

What intrigues me is the Brazilian company Embraer, the likely contract winner, is currently under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Justice Department, for possible violations of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. According to Financial Times, Embraer is 'venturing into the defense industry' and 'is one of a select few Brazilian companies that has managed to break out of the Latin American market and compete on a global scale'" http://ping.fm/K8Qm9

Fear of Big Government at Near-Record Level - "Americans' concerns about the threat of big government are near record-high levels. The Occupy Wall Street movement, focused on "fighting back against the corrosive power of major banks and multinational corporations," has drawn much attention and a large following. Still, the majority of Americans do not view big business as the greatest threat to the country when asked to choose among big business, big government, and big labor. In fact, Americans' concerns about big business have declined significantly since 2009. Additionally, while Occupy Wall Street isn't necessarily affiliated with a particular party, its anti-big business message may not be resonating with majorities in any party. Republicans, independents, and now close to half of Democrats are more concerned about the threat of big government than that coming from big business. " http://ping.fm/AWnnI

Horses abandoned or sold for a pittance in weak economy - Congratulations, HSUS: " Hauck and many other ranchers blame the deflated horse market and the surge in abandoned horses, in large part, on California's ban on horse slaughter. The 1998 law made it illegal to buy, sell or export a horse to be slaughtered for human consumption. Along with bans in California and other states, Congress also imposed a de facto prohibition starting in 2007, when it stripped funds for federal inspections of the facilities that are required for slaughterhouses to operate. As a result, U.S. horse exports to slaughterhouses in Mexico increased by 600% and to those in Canada jumped 148%, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office. In 2010, nearly 138,000 U.S. horses were slaughtered in those countries, roughly the same number that were slaughtered in the U.S. before the bans. Closing domestic slaughterhouses also "negatively affected lower- to medium-priced horses by 8 to 21 percent," exceeding the 4% drop in horse prices caused by the economic downturn, the report found. Those unintended consequences are one reason Congress and the Obama administration quietly lifted the horse ban in November.

Gingrich Says Republicans Won’t Win If Negative Attacks Persist - Here's the classic strategy: Main-scream media is still (mostly) rooting for Obama. And anybody-but-a-Republican rules their logic. So ABC sets up a gotcha-style debate, with questions that incite the candidates against each other on purpose. Then, they spin their own spin to tell how these guys "really went after each other" - which supposedly gets ratings for ABC. However, when the candidates made some completely valid points against Obama, these go unreported. Because the media can bury those with other salacious tales. It's reported that Obama campaign would like nothing better than for a big Gingrich-Romney feud, which would exhaust their funds in a hot primary, leaving them weakened.

Obama misses the "on your own" descxription - "It would be truer to say that the present situation reflects the total failure of “you’re not on your own” economics — the delusion of statists that government can insulate millions of people from the vicissitudes of life. Europeans have assured their citizens of cradle-to-grave welfare since the end of the Second World War. This may or may not be an admirable notion, but, both economically and demographically, the bill has come due. Greece is being bailed out by Germany in order to save the eurozone but to do so requires the help of the IMF, which is principally funded by the United States. The entire Western world resembles the English parlor game “Pass the Parcel,” in which a gift wrapped in multiple layers of gaudy paper is passed around until the music stops and a lucky child removes the final wrapping from the shrunken gift to discover his small gift. Except that, in this case, underneath all the bulky layers, there is no there there: Broke nations are being bailed out by a broke transnational organization bankrolled by a broke superpower in order to save a broke currency.

Presidency Hacked Apart From Inside: "It was Obama who said, ”We have a choice in this country. We can accept a politics that breeds division and conflict and cynicism [...] That is one option. Or, at this moment, in this election, we can come together and say, ’not this time.’” It was Obama who in an interview declared, ”I want us to rediscover our bonds to each other and to get out of this constant petty bickering thats come to characterize our politics.” And it was Obama who said on the night of his election, on a stage in Grant Park, ”I will listen to you, especially when we disagree [...] Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for too long.” But it turns out this was a mirage. The fact that Obama’s presidency has been a failure and that he is so manifestly inept in his current role has turned him into a fairly unprincipled (and remarkably uncreative) political hack. He has succumbed to his uglier impulses. He wouldn’t be the first president to do so. The same thing happened to Richard Nixon and to Jimmy Carter, who started out as a decent man and ended up as a petty one. The whole thing is a shame. To watch a presidency fall apart can be a poignant thing; and to watch a president dishonor himself in the process can be a sad one." http://ping.fm/FEnxl

Oil-Rich America? "America will soon again be able to supply all of its own domestic natural gas needs -- and perhaps for the next 90 years at present rates of consumption. We have recently become a net exporter of refined gas and diesel fuel, and already have cut imported oil from OPEC countries by 1 million barrels per day. With expanded exploration and conservation, the United States could also eventually supply half its own petroleum needs. If we were to eliminate just 5 million barrels of our current daily 9 million barrels of imported petroleum, the annual savings could reach nearly $200 billion per year. Eventually, the new gas and oil could add another 1.6 million new jobs and add up to nearly $1 trillion in federal revenue." http://ping.fm/xUddQ

Obama Channels Failed Roosevelt Reelection: "Smart people can grouse all they want about the supposed zealotry of the tea party or the conservative presidential field (and sometimes, they might be right), but Obama's mimicking Teddy Roosevelt's end-of-career hard left turn tells us a lot about the president's worldview. In his speech in Osawatomie, Kan., Obama dropped almost all pretenses and made the progressive case against an American free market system, which he called "a simple theory ... one that speaks to our rugged individualism and our healthy skepticism of too much government. ... And that theory fits well on a bumper sticker. But here's the problem: It doesn't work." Obama, after all, is such a towering economic mind that in Osawatomie, he once again blamed ATMs (and the Internets) for job losses. This is a man we can trust. "Less productivity! More jobs!" That's not to say capital isn't useful occasionally, of course. A few days ago, Obama hosted a $38,000-a-plate fundraiser for wealthy Manhattanites. The president -- with the Democratic National Committee -- has hauled in more cash from rent-seeking financial-sector companies than all Republican candidates combined. This president has supported every big-business bailout with taxpayers' money, even though he claims they shouldn't be on the 'hook for Wall Street's mistakes.'" http://ping.fm/tYCTm

What Obama didn't channel from Teddy Roosevelt: "No man is worth his salt in public life who makes on the stump a pledge which he does not keep after election; and, if he makes such a pledge and does not keep it, hunt him out of public life." and " If a man who has had a chance will not make good, then he has got to quit." http://ping.fm/reXFc

Obama "said that he is like Teddy Roosevelt," Romney said at a campaign event in Paradise Valley, Ariz. "And I thought, `In what way is he like Teddy Roosevelt?' Teddy Roosevelt of course founded the Bull Moose Party. One of those words applies." Kirsten Kukowski, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said, "Maybe instead of trying to be like other presidents, Obama should try being president." http://ping.fm/ksDcR

Obama should follow Roosevelt - don't try to run for re-election, but instead visit Africa: "Roosevelt declined to run for re-election in 1908. After leaving office, he embarked on a safari to Africa and a tour of Europe. On his return to the U.S., a bitter rift developed between Roosevelt and his anointed successor as president, William Howard Taft. In 1912, Roosevelt attempted to wrest the Republican nomination from Taft, and when he failed, he launched the Bull Moose Party. In the ensuing election, Roosevelt became the only third-party candidate to come in second place, beating Taft but losing to Woodrow Wilson." http://ping.fm/GN5av

Obama needs to get his Senate Democrats to compromise and start getting something done. Instead, he's giving speeches in little towns in order to sound like some other dead president who also couldn't get re-elected. "Bull Moose Party" anyone? http://ping.fm/2pWbg
