Will we see something similar happen to President Obama before he is escorted out of the White House?

Extermination in Dubai
How many Mossad agents does it take to kill a terrorist? Apparently 11.
Of course, Israel is denying everything. And they should. This 9-minute video shows a bunch of hotel surveillance video with only one suspicious act. At 6:52 a suspect changes his appearance in a men's room. The prosecutor is going to have to convince a judge and jury that all these travelers were part of some plot to stuff a pillow in the face of Mahmoud Al Mabhouh. Good luck!
With our vast experience in corporate America, let us suggest how this plan was chosen in Israel. First, some bureaucrat who's positioning himself for a promotion within Mossad hears Plan A: We shoot the f**ker. "We're not amateurs" says the bureaucrat. The bureaucrat reminds the others that he has many missions under his belt and holds degree in International Relations. He ponders deeply, then suggests (decides) the best course of action is to layer the offensive for maximum risk mitigation. This boosts the operation's costs from under a million to more than $5 million. For this expense, the bureaucrat must take an approval request to the top guy. While others avoid this extra effort and exposure, the bureaucrat knows this will help him convince the big guy of his intellectual genius and emphasis on risk mitigation. it will also give the bureaucrat 5 minutes to kiss some serious butt. He gets his higher figure approved, then explains to the team that he'll swarm the island nation with assassins. The first assassin to find the target.... holds a pillow over the terrorist's face. The mission - the bureaucrat's promotion - is accomplished.
While we poke fun of this operation's flaws, at least Israel has the determination to go after their enemies regardless of where they are. And, their other enemies are now looking over their shoulders at 11 suspicious people instead of just one.

More Name Calling
Can you believe there are folks out there calling Democrats "Communists"? This distracts from solving America's problems like health care, welfare and the impending threat of global warming! It lowers the political discourse...

Found at NewZeal - Obama's College Marxism:
As a college student, Barack Obama expressed Marxist views, including the need for a new socialist U.S. government, according to a student who says he shared the future president’s opinion at the time...

“He was arguing a straightforward Marxist-Leninist class-struggle point of view, which anticipated that there would be a revolution of the working class, led by revolutionaries, who would overthrow the capitalist system and institute a new socialist government that would redistribute the wealth,” says Drew, who says he himself was then a Marxist.

Defeat From Above
Airborne! Our congratulations to fellow Army Reserve Officer Scott Brown on his upset victory over Martha Coakley and the Democratic machine in yesterday's senate election in Massachusetts.
Lessons Learned:
It may take a few days, but Attorney General Coakley should come to the realization that turning a blind eye to an assault in her presence is the wrong choice.
Ignoring a sexual assualt against a 23-month old doesn't help one's political aspirations either.
And why did Obama go to Massachusetts to campaign for Coakley? This was a strategic error on his part, as his visit acknowledged the link between the election and his commie health care plans. The day-after "Coakley screwed up" mantra is falling flat because of Obama's visit.
Another strategic error was to hold his $1 trillion 'stimulus' to buy votes in the Fall elections and not spend some of it this past month in Massachusetts. The GOP, like gun and ammo manufacturers, is experiencing unprecedented enthusiasm with no end in sight. This was an opportunity to slap us down and remind us that envy takes precedence over liberty.
A special Ushanka Tip to Michelle Malkin for keeping tabs on voter fraud yesterday. These single elections give us the ability to shine a very bright light on the ACORN and SEIU shenanigans. Michelle - lets find a way to do the same across all elections this Fall!
Random Thoughts and Predictions:
Why does our president say Health Care Reform legislation is desired by us proletarians when it will supposedly pass with a 60% majority in the senate, but not a 59% majority?
Will the Massachusetts 'independents' lib-out before the November elections? Their track record is grossly lacking. We're grateful for our victory yesterday, but sustaining pro-constitution and pro-limited government enthusiasm isn't a voter trait in that state.
Same question at the national level: Will our fellow tea-partiers hang up their ushankas and consider their job done? This isn't a hypothetical - we've noticed a severe drop in the activities of our local tea-party group.
Same question at the individual level: Will Brown lib-out? We have too many scars caused by the principled-turned-unprincipled. We quote the LT in Starship Troopers to express our feelings toward Brown, Palin and the others that excite us today: "You're it until you're dead, or we find someone better."
Biotech and Pharmaceutical stocks trended upward yesterday on the logical conclusion that their businesses will be better off with Brown in the Senate. Yet, according to Mona Charen, "...Pfizer, Merck, Amgen, Sanofi-Aventis, Eli Lilly, Novartis, AstraZeneca ... Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, HealthSouth and UnitedHealth all were sipping white wine with Coakley" a week ago at a fund raiser for the Democrat. We list these confused companies on purpose. One is a former employer.
Prediction: Obama will sign a health care reform bill. He still has significant majorities and theliberal progressive communist inspirations are too great for all the Democrats lucky enough to still hold office. Agree?
UPDATE 9:40am:
Too sweet!

We continue to ponder: After the 2006 election, Rumsfeld was out the next day. Bush heard the voters and held Secretary Rumsfeld accountable for the loss of focus in Iraq. Will Obama make any leadership or policy changes after yesterday's senate race, a race that he himself nationalized? Or will the only change be even less transparency?

Massachusetts
So we were ignoring the brohaha in Massachusetts. Just another off-cycle election in the most liberal of states. Then Charles Schumer hits us like a dagger to the heart: Scott Brown is a tea-partier! Well, that changes everything!
At risk of looking foolish 48 hours from now after either Coakley wins, or after Coakely's goons steal the election, here are a couple related videos for your enjoyment.
This one sets the standard. We wish we made it:

Shock on Christmas Day
Some were shocked that the threat of terrorism man-made disaster still exists, and that they would choose a religious holiday to attack.
The rest of us were shocked to learn people still want to fly to Detroit.
Shoe/ankle bombers are 0 for 2 now. Is there anyone in our national security agencies that think our luck may be running out? Or, are they too busy tracking all those right-wing extremists?

Stewart Baker from blog Skating on Stilts - his first of ten points:
1. According to early reports, the suspect is 23-year-old Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, and his name "appears to be included in the government's records of terrorist suspects, according to a preliminary review." The first question, then, is how he managed to get a visa to come to the United States.
Jules Crittenden:
If Al Qaeda is an idea in the hearts of jihadis everywhere, and he thinks he’s a part of it, why not grant him the full rights and privileges? Off to Guantanamo, give him a dunking, some AC/DC and Barney, you know, a little of the old “I love you, you love me,” and a military tribunal … oh yeah, never mind. Bungled attack by a wannabe in the post-post-9/11 era? Sounds like a suspended sentence, a couple years of probation, community service and maybe some counseling.
