Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

USA’s strained relationship with UK

Darn that George W. Bush!  It’s a good thing we have the postracial Uniter of All as our king president, right?

Oh, wait.

After initially denying that they had received British intelligence, senior American sources confirmed last night that they were “reviewing” what British information had been received on Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

The admission is embarrassing for the White House and threatens to provoke a rift with Gordon Brown. The conflicting briefing over the shared intelligence also suggests that the transatlantic relationship may have weakened in recent months.

I’m thoroughly confused.  Didn’t the left and the MSM (pardon the redundancy) tell us all throughout 2008 and even into 2009 that only The One could heal the international wounds inflicted by Dubya the Terrible?  Why, just a touch of His robe (or a big ol’ collective group hug…tomato, to-mah-to) would send a message to the world that all was well and peace in our time had finally arrived!

Funny, that.

Quote of the day, “Ben Nelson’s projection” edition

Project much, Ben?

Sen. Ben Nelson, the Nebraska Democrat who played a pivotal role in helping the Senate pass its version of health care reform right before Christmas, said this week that the Obama administration should have delayed taking up the issue to spend more time tackling economic problems.

“I think it was a mistake to take health care on as opposed to continuing to spend the time on the economy,” Nelson told the Fremont Tribune.

“I would have preferred not to be dealing with health care in the midst of everything else, and I think working on the economy would have been a wiser move,” he told the newspaper.

Yeah, I bet you think it’s a mistake and I bet you “would have preferred not to be dealing with” it!  It’s a mistake, though, that you didn’t have to be complicit in, and you will rightly suffer for it in 2012.
