Vice President Joe Biden recently told Larry King that Iraq will be considered one of the "great achievements" of the Obama administration owing to the military success and the increasingly stable government in that country. There's just one problem: both Biden and Obama have long records of opposing virtually every policy decision which led to that success.
But to cut Biden a little slack, what other "great achievements" of this administration could he brag about? Job growth? Bipartisanship? Healthcare reform? Spending reform? Racial healing? National security? Government transparency? Consumer confidence? International respect? NOoooo.....
But on the matter of Iraq, they have finally achieved something; for the first time in the Obama administration, they're not saying "this was all Bush's doing!"
Even though it was.

To fight an epidemic of childhood obesity, Barack Obama has just created a federally-funded obesity taskforce and has given first lady Michelle Obama the job of spearheading publicity efforts. To kick things off, she declared that obesity is "a threat to national security," though she presumably feels that Ronald McDonald should be tried in a civilian court rather than being shipped to Guantanamo Bay.
Michelle will help kids by encouraging them to exercise ("Touch your toes like you're bowing to Japanese royalty!"), eat more fruits and vegetables ("A day without arugula is like a day without sunshine!"), and presumably by giving them fashion tips...
BONUS: From the Hope n' Change Gift Shoppe, a tribute to the first lady and the Beatles!

After a year of name-calling and locked doors, Barack Obama has now grudgingly said he'd like to hear Republican ideas about healthcare reform. Of course, nobody actually believes that he plans to listen to what they have to say, which is a pity - because there is a real need for healthcare reform, and the Republicans have the ideas to make it work.
The "Top Ten" list shown above consists of real ideas that you can read about in more detail here. These practical, pragmatic ideas have never been hidden from Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, or the mainstream media. But they have, by and large, been hidden from the American public.
By Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and the mainstream media...

While not exactly "Hell freezing over," the Federal government in Washington DC has been nearly shut down by a huge winter storm which is dumping historic amounts of snow.
The government shutdown spoiled opening celebrations for a new "Global Warming" agency which will operate within NOAA, and is accessible at www.climate.gov in case anyone wants to read taxpayer-funded propaganda that says record snowfall and freezing temperatures are signs of man-caused global warming. But NOAA's own data shows that their online claims of "earlier snowmelt and extended ice-free seasons" simply aren't true.
To put it simply, the Obama administration and environmental con-artists like Al Gore are still trying to pull a snow job on the American people. Talk about an Inconvenient Truth...

Showing yet again how much Iran appreciates Barack Obama's "let's just talk and be pals" foreign policy strategy, Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is promising a "huge punch" which will stun Western powers this coming Thursday, to celebrate the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution.
Speculations about the nature of this "huge punch" include the possibility of an Internet meltdown when one billion Muslims simultaneously "de-friend" Barack Obama on Facebook, or the possible announcement of an Iranian "Super-DUPER-Bowl" which will have "much funnier commercials than those produced by the infidels."
In any event, it's time this president got serious about Iran's nuclear weapons program, support of international terror, murder of demonstrators, and threats to destroy Israel.
"The Audacity of Hugs" isn't working.

For those who are still bothering to keep score, the Obama administration granted "the right to remain silent" to the Christmas Day Bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, after only 50 minutes of questioning...soon after which time, the bomber lawyered up and stopped speaking.
After nearly universal condemnation of this idiotic decision, and five weeks of costly silence, the Whitehouse recently called an urgent news briefing to report that the bomber had finally started talking again and was giving really great information, thereby proving that their "mint on the pillow" approach was paying off.
But there are two problems. The first is that this Whitehouse, having shown itself to be unserious about terrorism, now lacks the credibility to be believed. The second problem is that if Abdulmutallab really is talking, then the value of the intelligence has been wasted because the Whitehouse just told Al Qaeda that we've got it, in a transparent attempt to prop up the president's flagging popularity.
Talk about your intelligence failures...

The biggest clash on Superbowl Sunday may not be between the Saints and the Colts, but between the pro-life and the pro-abortion movements.
Focus on the Family has purchased Superbowl advertising time during which Heisman trophy-winner Tim Tebow will appear with his mother who makes the wildly controversial statement that she's glad she didn't abort her son.
CBS has been fielding complaints from NOW and Planned Parenthood, who feel that either Tebow's ad shouldn't run...or equal time should be given to extolling the fast, fun, carefree lifestyle provided by abortion. After abortion. After abortion...
