Boker tov, Boulder!

Batten down your hatches, the world has gone mad..

See if you can follow this.

ABC News reports that a "Florida Man" was on the verge of signing his confession to a 9/11 triple-murder of young Jews in 2011, ostensibly in connection with the Chechen terrorist brothers who bombed the Boston marathon, when he - i.e., this "Florida Man" - was shot dead by an FBI agent.

The man shot dead by an FBI agent in Orlando, Florida early today was "about to sign a statement" admitting to a role, along with Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, in an unsolved triple murder in Massachusetts in 2011, two people with direct knowledge of the case told ABC News.

Ibragim Todashev "just went crazy," and pulled a knife during his interview with the FBI, said state and federal law enforcement officials briefed on the latest strange twist in the investigation of the Boston Marathon bombing.

One official said an FBI agent was stabbed several times, although his injuries were described by the FBI as "non-life threatening."

 

I miss George Bush. Hell, I miss Mitt Romney! I can't bear watching this country go from bad to worse, day after day after day...

The plots thicken

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the last four days, disapproval of The Won

has risen from 49 pct to 53 pct.

41 pct disapprove strongly.

 

Journ-O-List's Comeback Kids??

Instapundit:

JOURN-O-LIST CAVALRY TO THE RESCUE! Spotted: @joshtpm @CapehartJ @ezraklein & other lefty columnists headed into the West Wing as a group. POTUS coffee? Carney meeting? Anyone?

Watch for even-more-unified weaponized Administration-excusing talking points, coming soon to a publication near you!

 

The tweet came from Ari Shapiro, a reporter for NPR, and mentions Jonathan Capehart of the Washington Post and MSNBC, Josh Marshall of TPM - Talking Points Memo and Ezra Klein, Washington Post, Bloomberg and MSNBC. Of the three, only Ezra Klein was a member of the original Journ--List.

About an hour ago, Shapiro clarified (at twitter), writing: "For the record, Obama often does OTR [off the record] sit-down sessions with columnists & reporters left, right & center. Nothing nefarious about it per se."

As for the original Journ--List, I believe it was the Daily Caller that broke the story; see This, This and This.

 

You know why we're called 'Jews'?

52 pct Disapprove, 40 pct Strongly so

 

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 47% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Obama's job performance. Fifty-two percent (52%) now disapprove.

Today’s figures include 26% who Strongly Approve of the way Obama is performing as president and 40% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14 (see trends).

 

Who dunnit? Who do ya think?!

Wynton Hall at Breitbart:

The week after Republicans’ historic 2010 midterm election landslide, President Barack Obama appointed the union president that represents “tens of thousands in the IRS,” Colleen Kelley, to a key Administration post... on the Federal Salary Council, an advisory group charged with recommending federal employee raises.

 

 

3/31/2010: President Obama met with the president of the NTEU (the IRS employees' union), this same Colleen Kelley, at the White House.

The Very Next Day (4/1/2010): The new Acting manager of the IRS Technical Unit suggested the need for a "Sensitve Case Report" on the Tea Party cases and the program manager of the Determinations Unit.... agreed.

Read all about it at Conservative Byte. 

 

And we learn from the Daily Caller that (no surprise):

In 2012, 94 percent of the NTEU’s campaign contributions went to Democratic candidates, PACs and party committees, while Republicans received only 4 percent.

In 2010, 97 percent of the union’s campaign contributions went to Democrats and 2 percent went to Republicans.

Nor is it a surprise that "labor belonged to Obama in his re-election" (CNBC).

Union members voted for him in 2012 at a rate of 65 percent to 33 percent, according to the AFL-CIO.

 

Now are you understanding that this "Yes We Can" / "Greater Together" crap was much more than just a bumper snicker?

Fundamental Transformation

Defending the government official previously in charge of IRS harassment and intimidation of conservatives (and slated to head up IRS enforcement of Obamacare), 37-year-old White House "senior advisor" Dan Pfeiffer told FOX News Sunday:

“ Before everyone in this town convicts this person in the court of public opinion with no evidence, let’s actually get the facts and make decisions after that. There’s nothing that suggests she did anything wrong,” he said.

Of course it was only a few months ago that Obama's "brain trust" was working hard to convict Mitt Romney - "in the court of public opinion with no evidence" - by promoting the obscene claim that Romney had caused a woman's cancer death. Pfeiffer was at that time White House Director of Agitprop Communications.

Obama's "news" networks naturally ignored the ad.  It remains to be seen whether they will ignore the partisan corruption of the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Liars or Idiots ... or both ... Oh my!

In these tumultuous times, you have to take simple pleasure where you can find it, such as in the great and clever heading on today's John Podhoretz piece at the New York Post:

 

"Pin the fail on the donkey"

.... CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson released a highly revealing story on Friday in which administration officials said they regretted not sending a terrorism-response team to Benghazi and regretted not having convened their panel of high-level terrorism advisers afterward. One official told Attkisson, “We’re portrayed by Republicans as either being lying or idiots. It’s actually closer to us being idiots.”

 

Wow, Ms. Attkisson is a real professional and as such, much appreciated. As one would expect, Team Obama has "quit talking" to her "altogether."

 

Also clever is Andrew Macolm's "Cloudy with 100% chance of scandals."
