Obama Makes Progress At UN On Iran And Nukes

In spite of right wing naysaying about President Obama’s first appearance as president at the opening of the UN General Assembly, it’s obvious that he made great gains there. He convinced Russia to consider tough new sanctions against Iran and got support from Moscow and Beijing for Security Council resolution to curb nuclear weapons.
The successes came as Mr. Obama told leaders that the United States intended to begin a new era of engagement with the world, in a sweeping address to the General Assembly in which he sought to clearly delineate differences between himself and the administration of …

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor says he can’t support health reform that includes a public option. But a constituent who asked Cantor what a suffering relative without health insurance should do was told to find a government program or rely on the kindness of strangers.

James O’Keefe III and Hannah Giles, the videographers who exposed wrongdoing at ACORN, didn’t just fall out of a tree one day. They each had training at Washington institutions that train ideological conservative journalists.
Giles, a 20-year-old sophomore at Florida International University, spent the summer on a $1,200-a-month internship with the National Journalism Center, a training organization whose alumni include conservative commentator Ann Coulter. Immediately after graduating Rutgers University in 2006, O’Keefe, 25, was paid to set up magazines and newspapers on university campuses for the Leadership Institute, which recruits potential conservative public policy and media stars.
While O’Keefe …

Apparently, President Obama’s stance that Israel should not build new settlements means he hates Jews, according to Rush Limbaugh.
OBAMA: We continue to call on Palestinians to end incitement against Israel and we continue to emphasize that America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements. (applause) The time has come to relaunch negotiations without preconditions. The United States does Israeli no favors when we fail to couple an unwavering commitment to its security with an insistence that Israel respect the legitimate claims and rights of the Palestinians.
RUSH: Yeah, right on, right on, …

Despot Housewives Or Who Wants To Marry A Dictator?

Cristina Corbin at foxnews.com did profiles of the women behind the men at the UN who happen to not be so democratically elected. How much do you know about, for example, Parvin Ahmadinejad?
Parvin Ahmadinejad is very rarely seen even when beheld in public, as her hard-line husband follows a strict form of Islam that requires women to wear a full-body hijab. In fact, almost nothing is known about Mrs. Ahmadinejad — her age, her schooling, her sign of the Zodiac –because she stands quietly by in a conservative Muslim theocracy, where women are raped the night before executions …
