NY Times: Obama's Economic Ideas Great, Just Like Hitler's	For The New York Times economic scene section for March 31, David Leonhardt came across with one of the most amazing admissions about Obama that I've ever seen in the Times. Namely that Barack Obama is just like Hitler. Now, many of you may be solemnly shaking your head in agreement, but in so doing you would be missing why the Times was comparing Obama to Hitler. You see, Leonhardt didn't mean it as an insult. He was saying that it was a good thing that Barack was being like Hitler at least in an economic sense. Here Leonhardt is taking the trains-on-time track with his Hitler angle by saying that, despite that whole Holocaust and World War II business, Hitler's policies were good for Germany. So good, in fact, that he celebrates the ways he sees that Obama is emulating the mustachioed mad-man's economic prescriptions with the massive takeover of the economy and bloated government spending on "stimulus." You know the left has lost it when they are invoking the "success" of Hitler to prop up The One! Adolph Hitler is portrayed as a "right winger" by the lefties in the media, as such, most young people are unaware of the fact that that Hitler was student of Friedrich Engels, Karl Marx's co-author. He was a socialist and the leader of the NAZI Party. NAZI is a German acronym. It is the abbreviated form of the "National Socialist German Workers' Party." The NAZI Party was supported by leftists in America until Germany invaded the communist Soviet Union.

Michelle's Fashion Sense	If you Google -- G-20 "Michelle Obama" fashion -- Google returns hundreds of fawning articles praising the latest American fashion icon, Michelle Obama. The BBC leads its coverage thusly: "Michelle Obama fever hits the UK -- In the US she is already a cover girl, gracing the front of glossy magazines like Vogue and Hello." You would think that one of the 500 retainers accompanying the Obamas to the G-20 would have helped the "cover girl" dress. It's obvious from this formal photograph, with Sarah Brown, the wife of the UK's Prime Minister, that she has trouble dressing herself -- look at how she has her sweater buttoned.
Military Strained By Obama Trip	And, speaking of Obama's 500-plus G-20 entourage, The Washington Times is reporting that Obama's European visit this week has strained the US Air Force's heavy-airlift capabilities and obliged the military to hire more foreign contractors to help resupply U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan, according to military sources. The large delegation traveling with the president in Europe required moving several transports, including jumbo C-5s and C-17s, from sorties ferrying supplies to Afghanistan to European bases for the presidential visit, said two military officials familiar with the issue. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid any misunderstanding with White House officials. The Air Mobility Command, part of the U.S. Transportation Command, was ordered to provide airlift for the president's entourage of nearly 500 people, including senior officials, staff, support personnel, news reporters and some 200 Secret Service agents for the European visit, which began Tuesday in London. Airlift for the traveling entourage also was used to move the president's new heavy-armored limousine and several presidential helicopters used for short transits. To make up for the shortfall, the Air Force had to increase the number of Eastern European air transport contractors hired to fly Il-76 and An-124 transport jets into Afghanistan loaded with troop supplies, the two officials said. The airlift crunch comes at a particularly difficult time, as the military is stepping up deliveries of supplies in advance of a surge of 21,000 U.S. troops. One official said the problem was not only the vehicles and helicopters that were needed for presidential security, but also the unusually large number of people traveling with the president. The official said U.S. taxpayers are paying twice for airlift, once for Air Force jets that are not available for a war zone and again for foreign contractor aircraft that are.
In Bed With The Dregs	The UN Human Rights Council might well be the most vile of all the world body's panels. Six of the 47 UNCHR members -- China, Cuba, Eritrea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Zimbabwe -- were classified as some of the world's "worst of the worst" abusers of human rights by Freedom House in 2005. Its human-rights negotiating committee consists of a Libyan chair, an Iranian vice-chair, and a Cuban rapporteur. Russian Yuri Boychenko was presiding over last Monday’s "human rights" meeting. UN Ambassador Susan Rice announced this week that the United States will seek a seat on the 47-member body when elections are held next month. "We do not see any inherent benefit, as demonstrated by recent history, in being outside the tent and simply being critical without having significant influence," Rice said. So why does the Obama administration want in? Obama campaigned on the promise to "dialogue" more with America's enemies, but hooking up with an outfit as corrupt as the Human Rights Council suggests that he has appallingly low standards as to where and when that dialogue takes place.
Second City Cancels Tea Party	A second city, the City of Burleson, Texas is trying to shut down a Tax Day Tea Party planned for April 15th. Previously, Cape Coral, FL, tried, unsuccessfully, to deny the "right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." According to local organizers, unelected "street supervisor" Ray Gonzales, informed them that he was going to prevent the event from happening. Mr. Gonzales told organizers that he is on a special events staff, which is under the city manager’s office in Burleson. Gonzales explained to one local organizer that the special events staff had decided this protest was "not in the public interest." He is telling organizers that David Wynn, the city manager, is his boss, and could overturn this decision. For the record, the city manager’s office told local organizers that they do not need a permit to demonstrate in Burleson, and they are not saying that the organizers need one now.

Georgia Citizens Grand Jury Must Be Condemned	Leo D'onofrio has received letters from the people who ran the citizens grand jury in Georgia, and while he appreciates their frustration in that our Government has failed to protect the Constitution by allowing a President to be sworn in who is not a "natural born citizen", he does not agree that this citizens grand jury has any legal authority whatsoever to demand the removal of a sitting President or to even force the review of his qualifications. The separation of powers in the Constitution has delegated that power to Congress who in turn enacted the District of Columbia Code provision for Quo Warranto. Sections 16-3501, 16-3502, and 16-3503 are the only Constitutional means available to see the President removed or to even have him face an inquiry as to his eligibility. (See parts 1, 2 and 3 of my legal brief on quo warranto.) Furthermore, there is very disturbing language (thanks to Phil at The Right Side of Life for highlighting this today) used by this citizens grand jury which discusses the taking of property and suggests other violent means by which they intend to enforce their presentments. This language is frightening and totally illegal: "The grand jury may distrain and oppress the government in every way in their power, namely, by taking the homes, lands, possessions, and any way else they can until amends shall have been made according to the sole judgment of the grand jury."
