CULTURE WATCH: June 16, 2014: President Obama will sign an executive order prohibiting federal contractors from discriminating against gays, lesbians and others on the basis of their sexual orientation – an election-year move that follows years of pressure by gay rights organizations.
Obama’s decision to proceed with the executive order, announced Monday by the White House, immediately delighted gay rights groups, even as it signaled that Obama doesn’t believe broader action by Congress is likely. Obama is set to address a fundraiser hosted by the Democratic National Committee’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender council Tuesday in New York.
“The President has directed his staff to prepare for his signature an Executive Order that prohibits federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity,” a White House official said in a statement. “The action would build upon existing protections, which generally prohibit federal contractors and subcontractors from discriminating in employment decisions on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This is consistent with the President’s views that all Americans, LGBT or not, should be treated with dignity and respect.” [SOURCE: Zachary Goldfarb: Washington Post: Obama to sign order prohibiting contractors from discriminating against LGBT people]
Obama’s decision to proceed with the executive order, announced Monday by the White House, immediately delighted gay rights groups, even as it signaled that Obama doesn’t believe broader action by Congress is likely. Obama is set to address a fundraiser hosted by the Democratic National Committee’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender council Tuesday in New York.

Op Ed Byte: 06.15.14: When a scandal breaks, Obama learns about it from the news (probably Fox News) and gets “mad as hell.” Someone over there in that government thingie has done something bad, and our hero will not rest until something is done about it. OK, but what will be done about it? Since Obama is the executive officer of that government thingie, didn’t he know anything about these matters before he saw it on the news?
What will the scandal be next week that the president will know nothing about? Don’t ask, don’t tell, we don’t want to know.
Who has created some of the worst foreign policy disasters in modern memory? Must have been Bush. You know, it takes a long time to correct mistakes that people made in the past, especially when the current president makes the same mistakes and then doubles down by adding a lot of incompetence into the mix.
Imagine that 10 years from now a Republican president was still blaming Obama for all his mistakes. Would the Obama sycophants still be saying, “Yup, it takes a long time to clean up the messes left by a previous president?” Would the national media still be in total agreement or entirely silent on the matter?
When the next Republican president blames Obama for everything, their strategy will not be: Don’t ask, don’t tell, we don’t want to know.
When we see a man refusing to acknowledge his wife’s cheating, we don’t know whether to feel sympathy for him, be disgusted with him or to hit him over the head with more evidence.
Many of us are beginning to feel the same way when we see defenses of the current president. Should we feel sympathy for the sycophants, turn away in disgust, give them more evidence or just politely retreat back far enough so that the embarrassment that is clearly evident is not overwhelming for everyone present?

Op/Ed BYTE: June 3, 2014: Detroit News: Obama's carbon rules will choke economy President Barack Obama, in presenting his strident new plan to reduce carbon emissions, is touting the health benefits of cleaner air. And there’s little doubt shutting down one-third of the nation’s coal plants will make America’s air cleaner and some people healthier.
But it will also risk making them hungrier, less prosperous and more likely to be unemployed as the nation’s economy slows and jobs disappear. The tough, new restrictions on smokestack emissions are the latest in a series of battles in the administration’s war on coal.
And while the power industry has achieved substantial reductions in carbon emissions over the past decade, the new standards would greatly accelerate the pace. The Environmental Protection Agency, which drafted the mandates, is targeting a 30 percent cut in greenhouse gases by 2030 based on the peak emissions year of 2005.
The power industry estimates that up to one-third of its 1,000 coal-fired facilities will have to close. Those plants produce 40 percent of the nation’s energy.
While everyone wants cleaner air, the fundamental problem with the administration’s agenda is that it has no credible plan for replacing the lost power. More here.

ON THE RECORD: Mar 7, 2014: Matt Vasilogambros of National Journal reports "Bobby Jindal Thinks Obama Is Stupid" and it comes with the tagline: "The president has been called many things, but dumb is a new one." The tagline kind of surprised me because I am pretty sure Obama has been referred to as "dumb" many times. The American Thinker (Aug 2011) implied he was dumb ("How Stupid is Obama?") and writes "Within weeks of the inauguration, sometime between "I won" and the Air Force One trip to New York for a single night's outing with Michelle, it became clear that the American Solomon was no better than average. And in the immortal words of Harvey Pekar, "Average is dumb." " Glenn Harlan Reynolds (USA Today) in a column titled "Obama is a laughing stock " write just last year "Our diplomacy is a joke, our president is a laughing stock, our enemies are emboldened, and we've still got over three years of this to go."

Mar 5, 2014: Birther Report: Trevor Loudon: Who Is Obama; Frank Marshall Davis; Obama's Fake Birth Certificate
OP/Ed Bytes: Mar 5, 2014: Richard Cohen’s Feb. 25 op-ed column about national security adviser Susan E. Rice was long overdue [“America’s do-nothing attitude”]. She is among the enablers who allow President Obama to believe his tales on topics from “red lines” in Syria to health care to the economy........What is new, at least so far, is that no one has responded to it by accusing Mr. Cohen of being a racist, a member of the tea party or some loathsome 1-percenter. Not everyone who points out the president’s mistakes is a horrible person or a Republican or both, and a recognition of this by more journalists would help in putting people back to work, strengthening respect for the United States around the world and reducing the toxic partisanship the president blames on others.It’s time for Mr. Obama to listen to criticism and to change, instead of lecturing and pressing on in ways that clearly do more harm than good.

The fiscal 2015 budget unveiled by President Barack Obama on Tuesday has items in common with a plan released last week by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, a Michigan Republican.

Blake reports that "Appearing on Hugh Hewitt's radio show, Romney said Candy Crowley shouldn't have interjected to confirm President Obama's claim about the evolution of the administration's talking points about the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. Well, I don’t think it’s the role of the moderator in a debate to insert themselves into the debate and to declare a winner or a loser on a particular point," Romney said. "And I must admit that, at that stage, I was getting a little upset at Candy, because in a prior setting where I was to have had the last word, she decided that Barack Obama was to get the last word despite the rules that we had."

The blog Addicting Info is curious about how Facebook will respond. “They didn’t take down the offensive photo or punish the page that posted it because for some reason, making threats on the life of our President somehow doesn’t violate their ‘standards.’ Hacking, however, does. Of course, hacking a Facebook page isn’t nearly as bad as calling for lynching America’s first Black president. If Facebook takes action against the hackers and not those who posted the offensive material in the first place, it would prove how screwed up Facebook’s ‘standards’ are.”

May 23, 2013: Esquire: The Lethal Presidency of Barack Obama
Sure, we as a nation have always killed people. A lot of people. But no president has ever waged war by killing enemies one by one, targeting them individually for execution, wherever they are. The Obama administration has taken pains to tell us, over and over again, that they are careful, scrupulous of our laws, and determined to avoid the loss of collateral, innocent lives. They're careful because when it comes to waging war on individuals, the distinction between war and murder becomes a fine one. Especially when, on occasion, the individuals we target are Americans and when, in one instance, the collateral damage was an American boy.

Some interesting things are going on in the gay rights movement of late. Just like a lot of self-proclaimed 'progressive' groups have made it a mission to bash the President - who in my judgment is the best friend progressives have ever had in the White House - some gay rights advocates have jumped on the same bandwagon.

July 31, 2009: Presto Pundit: Who Is Barack Obama?
Before January 20 of this year, Barack Obama had a negligible public record. He burst onto the national scene what seemed like five minutes before his election to the presidency: a first-term U.S. senator who actually served less than four years in that post — after a short time as a state legislator, some shadowy years as a “community organizer,” and scholastic terms at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard that remain shrouded in mystery.

Oct 4, 2008: Jamie Steihn: Huffington Post: Obama: Lesson Learned from Grandmother's Death
ON THE RECORD: June 18, 2008: John Amato (Crooks & Liars) that "Brit Hume owes Barack Obama an apology for repeating a false story about his half Brother." Amato writes: "A while back---Roger Ailes said on CSPAN that he dared anyone to dispute the fact the Hume's show isn't the most fair and balanced cable news program on TV. (paraphrasing) Roger, I think you need to rethink it. I was repeatedly emailed the alleged story of Obama's half brother calling Obama a Muslim in the Jerusalem Post yesterday. I googled it and found no story." Why? "It was obviously pulled because it wasn't true. ABC did a fact check on it and guess what they found? It was a fraud."

Jan 30, 2008: Outside The Beltway: Obama Ties Clinton Policies to Bush’s

In a nice little political jujitsu move, Barack Obama managed to attack both Hillary Clinton and John McCain at the same time, by tying them together and tying them both to Bush:
Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States, and the first African American to hold the office. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004, running unsuccessfully for the United States House of Representatives in 2000. In 2004, Obama received national attention during his campaign to represent Illinois in the United States Senate with his victory in the March Democratic Party primary, his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July, and his election to the Senate in November. He began his presidential campaign in 2007 and, after a close primary campaign against Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2008, he won sufficient delegates in the Democratic Party primaries to receive the presidential nomination. He then defeated Republican nominee John McCain in the general election, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. Nine months after his election, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
During his first two years in office, Obama signed into law economic stimulus legislation in response to the Great Recession in the form of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. Other major domestic initiatives in his first term included the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, often referred to as "Obamacare"; the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; and the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010. In foreign policy, Obama ended U.S. military involvement in the Iraq War, increased U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan, signed the New START arms control treaty with Russia, ordered U.S. military involvement in Libya, and ordered the military operation that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden. In November 2010, the Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives as the Democratic Party lost a total of 63 seats; and, after a lengthy debate over federal spending and whether or not to raise the nation's debt limit, Obama signed the Budget Control Act of 2011 and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. Obama was re-elected president in November 2012, defeating Republican nominee Mitt Romney, and was sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2013. During his second term, Obama has promoted domestic policies related to gun control in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, and has called for full equality for LGBT Americans, while his administration has filed briefs which urge the Supreme Court to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 and California's Proposition 8 as unconstitutional. In foreign policy, Obama has continued the process of ending U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan.

Let’s hope the nation can survive four more years of his “leadership.”
