ACLU Alert
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is giving significant new powers to its roughly 14,000 agents, allowing them more leeway to search databases, go through household trash or use surveillance teams to scrutinize the lives of people who have attracted their attention. (NYT, 6/13/2011)
Shredding the Constitution.....police state....impeach Bush....Cheney is a terrorist....oh, wait. Obama is now the President.
Back to the Till
A few weeks before announcing his re-election campaign, President Obama convened two dozen Wall Street executives, many of them longtime donors, in the White House’s Blue Room....The event, organized by the Democratic National Committee, kicked off an aggressive push by Mr. Obama to win back the allegiance of one of his most vital sources of campaign cash — in part by trying to convince Wall Street that his policies, far from undercutting the investor class, have helped bring banks and financial markets back to health. (NYT, 6/13/2011)Remind us again.....which is the party of Wall Street fatcats? A RedStateVT prediction: Wall Street's Dems will suck it up and give generously again to Obama. And if he is re-elected, Obama will again stick it to them. They deserve each other.
Out of Ammo
From within the exclusively demand-side context of the president's economic policy, there are no more bullets in the carbines. This president is now virtually defenseless against the inexorable forces of the U.S. economy. (Daniel Henninger, WSJ, 6/8/2011)
