Hat tip to whoever sent me this. My notes and memory have had a Senior Moment.

Obama has surrendered

First the Taliban, and now Iran, has taken the measure of our Chosen One, aka Hussein the President, and found his words to be those of a weak leader and weaker man.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said on Wednesday it would welcome President Barack Obama's offer of a change in U.S. policy provided it involved a withdrawal of U.S. troops from abroad and an apology for past "crimes" against Tehran.

LONDON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - The Taliban told U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday that his plan to close Guantanamo Bay prison camp was a "positive step" but peace was only possible if he withdraws U.S. forces from Afghanistan and Iraq.

So they have done what is always done when a foe shows weakness. They have demanded more.

Eventually he will give them more.

They will demand more.

He will give them more.

As they come to see that they have him backed into a corner, they will launch more and more attacks. Including attacks in the US.

At that point we will have to decide to fight or surrender.

Millions will die as Iran and Pakistan give the terrorist nuclear weapons. Will we use nuclear weapons in response?

Hard to say, given that it is possible Washington will be wiped out by the terrorists.

Congratulations, Lefties.

And Obama believes in Global Warming!

On the sixth day God turned to the Archangel Gabriel and said: “Today, I am going to create a land called Wisconsin ...”
“It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty; a land of countless glaciers, pure lakes, each one full of fish. It shall have tall majestic pines, peacefully flowing rivers, landscapes full of buffalo, tall grass, and eagles, beautiful blue skies, forests full of bear, elk and moose, rich farmland and fair minded people.”
God continued, “'I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper and they shall be known as a most friendly people, people who practice being Wisconsin Welcome every day.”
“But Lord,” asked Gabriel, “Don't you think you are being too generous to these people of Wisconsin ?”
“Not really,” replied God “Just wait and see the winters I am going to give them.”

AND NOW YOU KNOW

Housing sales surge!

Home Sales Rise, but Prices Keep Falling By ALAN ZIBEL, AP

(Jan. 26) - Sales of existing homes posted an unexpected increase last month, closing out the worst year for the U.S. real estate market in more than a decade.

The National Association of Realtors said Monday that sales of existing homes rose 6.5 percent to an annual rate of 4.74 million in December, from a downwardly revised pace of 4.45 million in November.

The results were better than expected. December's sales had been forecast to fall to a pace of 4.4 million units, according to Thomson Reuters.

Buyers were taking advantage of dramatically lower prices, especially in distressed markets like California, Florida and Nevada, where foreclosures have swamped the market.

Uh, this is truly basic stuff. When prices go down, people who can afford the product and want the product will purchase the product.

The truly scary part follows.

The nationwide median sales price plunged to $175,400, down 15.3 percent from $207,000 a year ago. That was the lowest price since May 2003 and the biggest year-over-year drop on records going back to 1968.

"The economy just simply cannot recover as long as home prices continue to decline," said Lawrence Yun, the trade group's chief economist, who called on lawmakers to include tax credits for home buyers in the economic recovery package being considered by Congress.

no, no, No, NO, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is what got us to where we are at! Helping people buy a home they can't otherwise afford means they will lose it when their income reverts to its usual level.

The truth is that realtors want to sell homes. Believe nothing they say about economics.

AP Headline - Top Chefs Push Obama to Improve Food Policy

First we had this.

Then we had this.

And then we had this.

And finally we have this.

''He's the kind of diner who wants to taste all sorts of things,'' Bayless says. ''What I'm hoping is that he's going to recognize that we need to do what we can in our country to encourage real food for everyone.''

Phrases like ''real food'' and ''farm-to-table'' may sound like elitist jargon tossed around at upscale restaurants. But the country's top chefs, several of whom traveled to Washington for Obama's inauguration this week, hope that Obama's flair for good food will encourage people to expand their horizons when it comes to what they eat.

These chefs tout locally grown, environmentally friendly and -- most importantly -- nutritious food. They urge diners, even those who may never be able to afford to eat at their restaurants, to grow their own vegetables, shop at farmer's markets and pay attention to where their food comes from.

And here I thought he was busy saving the economy and setting terrorists free...

Oh, and is "Biggie size that" environmentally friendly?"

Is there no end to the BS surrounding this guy?
