The Prez just can’t catch a break…

President Obama predicts Colts win
Politico

President Barack Obama joined with most odds fixers on Sunday and called the Indianapolis Colts the favorite in the Super Bowl, even though he is rooting for the New Orleans Saints.

After a year of private, closed door negotations and ignoring Republicans suggestions and solutions, and after the Democratic  majority in Congress couldn’t deliver on health care, Barack Obama has decided it’s time to talk to the Republicans.

Obama Invites GOP to “Bipartisan Health-Care Summit”
National Review

President Obama has invited Congressional Republicans to a half-day health-care summit, to be broadcast live from the Blair House later this month.

Here’s the kicker…

So I doubt even the most masterful of rhetorical performances from President Obama will change the prognosis of the bill — reconciliation or bust — but the very fact the White House is resorting to this strategem is a sign of just how few options they have left.

I didn’t get the chance to watch Sarah Palin’s speech at the Tea Party Convention.  But apparently she was in a take no prisoner mood.  Here are some of the just in stories.

Palin Calls Obama Budget ‘Immoral’
New York Times
Palin told the national ”tea party” convention Saturday that America’s national debt, which is held largely by other nations, ”makes us less free” and ‘’should tick us off.”

The former Republican vice presidential candidate told people attending the convention that it’s time America had a commander in chief, not a professor at a lectern.

Palin says Obama policies to be short-lived

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Sarah Palin is predicting a good year for conservative candidates for public office, saying the policies of President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress will be short-lived.

I honestly haven’t decided if I could support Sarah Palin for President.  But I want her around for a long time.  Just because she drives the left and the media (redundant, I know) absolutely bonkers.

ACLU threatens suit if General Assembly doesn’t approve pro-abortion license plate.

ACLU threatens suit for pro-choice car plate

An attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia has threatened to sue state lawmakers if they don’t approve a state license plate with a pro-choice theme.

Let’s be clear.  There’s nothing about “choice” in this suit, or in this license plate. It’s about promoting abortion.  The recent controversy over the Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad illustrates just how true that is.  Tebow and his mom talk about their choice.  The choice of life.  But somehow the radical women’s groups and the abortion industry just can’t accept that sometimes people might not choose abortion.

It speaks volumes.
