Barack W. Obama


Obama supporters must cringe at the eerie parallels that seem to keep arising between the former president and the current one. Unpopular military surges (Iraq and Afghanistan), begrudging acceptance of Cheney terrorism policies (see RedStateVT's post: Luke, I am your father) criticism over slow response to environmental disasters (Katrina, Gulf oil spill). Maybe the first W wasn't so bad after all!



More Tea Party Violence?
The FBI will aid Santa Cruz, Calif., police in their investigation of a riot by what authorities are calling a "methodical, coordinated" anarchist group that damaged and vandalized 18 businesses in the city's downtown last weekend.Police said the anarchist group organized an unsanctioned May Day event as a "political and physical cover" for the riot, which caused an estimated $100,000 in damages to the downtown area. The group had touted the event as family-friendly, using fliers and a website, which has since been removed. (AOLNews, 5/5/10)

Disgraced Former President Bill Clinton weighed in recently on the potential for Tea Party inspired violence (see RedStateVT’s post: The Disgraced Former President Weighs In.) No word yet on whether the Disgraced Former President sees the May Day riots as validation of his concerns.



Sign of the Times
President Reagan had a sign on his desk that said, "It's amazing how much you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit." If President Obama had a sign, it would say, "It's amazing how much you can accomplish if you don't care what the public thinks." (Fred Barnes, WSJ, 5/4/10)
