Super suckup and Keith Olbermann lapdog Jonathan Alter of the soon to be defunct Newsweek Magazine, has written a book about The One‘s first year in office (an annus horribilis if there ever was one). It seems as if the street thug in a fancy suit has a foul temper and likes to try to bully the people who are trying to actually defend this country. Of course it is easy for him to humiliate and launch into tirades against McChrystal, Petraeus, Netanyahu, etc. – people who actually love America, however when it comes to Chavez, Ahmadinejad, and those who are trying to destroy us he is as supine as a cheap whore.
hat tip – Weasel Zippers and JammieWearingFool
by David Saltonstall
President Obama may cultivate an image as the unflappable Mr. Cool, but he can get hot under the collar too, according to a new book.
In “The Promise: President Obama, Year One,” by Newsweeek senior editor Jonathan Alter, the author recounts a series of private blow-ups – including a particularly fiery one involving the nation’s top military brass.
“A presidential dressing down unlike any in the United States in more than half a century,” is how Alter describes the October 2009 eruption.
The background: Gen. Stanley McChrystal had just given a speech in London in which he publicly rejected proposals to turn the tide in Afghanistan with more drone missiles and special forces, a strategy backed mainly by Vice President Biden.
The President viewed McChrystal’s comments as a bald attempt to back him into a Pentagon-backed plan more reliant on troop buildups – and he soon ripped into top commanders for what he considered insubordination.
In an Oval Office showdown, Obama told Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Gen. David Petraeus that he was “exceedingly unhappy” with the Pentagon’s conduct, Alter reported, adding that its leaks to the press were “disrespectful of the process.”
“This was a cold and bracing meeting,” an attendee said of the encounter, where Obama demanded to know “here and now” if the Pentagon would be onboard with any presidential strategy.
[...]
Asked during the 2008 campaign what accounted for a drop-off in his Jewish support, Obama snipped to a radio reporter off-air, “It’s the f—— Clintons.” Later, as Obama mulled appointing Hillary Clinton his Secretary of State, he cracked, “Hillary still has some anger issues with me.”
When he found that his Justice Department lawyers were relying on Bush-era logic he disagreed with, Obama once exclaimed angrily, “What the f—? This is not the way I like to make decisions.”

I saw some junior high school students on the NY subway on Friday. They were coming back from some stupid demonstration, with homemade signs about how “Kids should not be sex slaves” (yeah, and grown women should?). While that’s a worthy sentiment, I suppose, I fail to see what a demonstration on the subject is expected to do.
In any event, all the kids were wearing little red-white-and-blue buttons which showed the old Vietnam era V “peace symbol,” with the legend “Activist: Voices/Choices.” Don’t know which lefty organization that was from. They were being chaperoned by their junior high school teacher, a burly fellow of about 40 in a goatee, mustache and pony tail.
Bill Ayers has done his work well.

They should take there demonstration on the road.
I’d suggest Dubai for their next stop. After that, maybe Kabul.
There probably won’t be a third stop.

Speranza wrote:
Thing is, though, that song is intended—like many others similar to it—as an anthem decrying the actual teaching of education and the ability to think which has been ditched by so many school systems, including California’s, in favor of teaching crackbrain social theory.
The “thought control” being decried by Pink Floyd is the teaching of the social mores which help one become a productive member of society. If you read the book “Growing Up Absurd” by Paul Goodman—a book which was extremely popular in the early Sixties—it is all about how terrible traditional education is, how mind-deadening it is to have to suffer through it, and how nothing much in society is really worth doing. These themes have become holy writ to the educational establishment, which abandoned pedagogy for “relevance” some 40 years ago.

I hate him personally but it’s not going to stop me from shelling out like 200 bucks to see the Wall show he’s touring.
I never got to see it live, but enjoyed his ‘In The Flesh’ show back in 99.’
He’s one of the more aggrvatingly puzzling libs, almost anti-Semitic but unaware of it. He even whines on the Wall (movie, not soundtrack, reference ‘When The Tigers Broke Free’) about losing his father in WWII at the Battle of Anzio, as though it were the British royalty’s fault.
The alternative being us all living under the swastika, but at least his old man would’ve lived.
Oh well. At least he makes some good music. It’s more productive than 99 % of liberals.

Gads. The media is hopeless. An article about graphene, which they describe as “a form of carbon, much like carbon nanotubes and other fullerenes, with one major difference. While fullerenes are 3D structures of carbon atoms, graphene is a flat sheet. It’s a 2D lattice of carbon with bonds as strong as diamond.” It’s a 2D polyaromatic honeycomb. So what do they have a picture of?
