NOISE.

THE DEATH OF THE GROWN-UP: “Someday, someone is going to seek the presidency by demystifying it,” George Will writes. “Many voters will be astonished by, and even be grateful for, the novelty of being addressed as adults.”

THE GREAT EQUIVOCATOR: “I think that, you know, as president I bear responsibility for everything, to some degree,” Obama told CBS’s Sixty Minutes on Sunday night.

In much the same way, presumably that, as Mr. Obama said in early 2009, “I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.”

REPORT: Fort Hood Shooter Nidal Hasan In ICU. Well, a death from natural causes would certainly be more convenient than a trial, which would be embarrassing for a lot of people. But so far, the report is unconfirmed.

GEORGE WILL ON MIA LOVE. “Aspecter is haunting the Congressional Black Caucus, the specter of integration. It is discomforting enough that the caucus has included a Republican among its 43 members since 2011, when Florida’s Allen West became the first Republican to join since 1997. South Carolina’s Tim Scott, an African American, also came to Congress in 2011 but declined to join the CBC. And soon a second might move in. There goes the neighborhood.”

THE VIDEO MADE THEM DO IT– JUST KIDDING!  Stephen Hayes over at the Weekly Standard hits the nail on the head, asserting that for over a week the Obama Administration insisted the attacks on American installations were “spontaneous” outbursts against a stupid Mohammed video on YouTube.  He concludes:

So we are left with this: Four Americans were killed in a premeditated terrorist attack on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11, and for more than a week the Obama administration misled the country about what happened.

This isn’t just a problem. It’s a scandal.

Yet unsurprisingly, the bulk of the lamestream media doesn’t seem to care.

“OBAMA IS NOT A FOREIGN BORN SOCIALIST GIVING AWAY FREE HEALTH CARE. That would be Jesus.”
