The B. Hussein Obama Administration, the "smartest people in the room", the calm and detached believers in soft diplomacy, the anti-cowboys, appear to be spoiling for a fight with the United States' single largest creditor, Communist China. It appears that elements of the ChiCom's political class want this fight as well.
While I have no love for Communists, and detest Communist China particularly, I know Obama has no stomach for a military confrontation, which the US would decisively win.
Instead, having bloated the debt markets with cheap US Bonds, Obama will pick a fight with China over currency manipulation. China has the capacity, and may be looking for an excuse, to dump its US debt holdings. If they do so, they will make it impossible for the US to borrow more money in the short term and mid terms.
Because B. Hussein Obama has neither the stomach or the capacity to understand government austerity in such an event, all Obama will be left with is US currency manipulation. Inflation and interest rates with skyrocket, and my prediction of a "Welcome Back Carter" presidency will be fulfilled.
In the long run, the US (or what is left of it) would come out ahead due to the innovative economic thinking of its people, not its government. But, in the long run, we are all dead.

B. Hussein's Next Target: Fishermen and Anglers
As reported by no more Yankee a source than Hartford-based ESPN, the Obama mafia is headed towards an end to all fishing in the United States. Story linked below.
From the story: "The Obama administration will accept no more public input for a federal strategy that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing the nation's oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters.
This announcement comes at the time when the situation supposedly still is "fluid" and the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force still hasn't issued its final report on zoning uses of these waters.
Led by NOAA's Jane Lubchenco ... [she] and others in the Obama administration have close ties to environmental groups who would like nothing better than to ban recreational angling. And evidence suggests that these organizations have been the engine behind the task force since before Obama issued a memo creating it last June.
As ESPN previously reported, WWF, Greenpeace, Defenders of Wildlife, Pew Environment Group and others produced a document entitled "Transition Green" shortly after Obama was elected in 2008. What has happened since suggests that the task force has been in lockstep with that position paper.
Then in late summer, just after he created the task force, these groups produced "Recommendations for the Adoption and Implementation of an Oceans, Coasts, and Great Lakes National Policy."
That same tunnel vision, in which recreational angling and commercial fishing are indiscriminately lumped together as harmful to the resource, has persisted with the task force, despite protests by the angling industry."

The Chicago Way in Washington
Hand it to the Chicagoans currently occupying the White House. Rahm Emmanuel and B. Hussein Obama have offed two political enemies in two weeks. First was the bumbling, stumbling New York Governor David Patterson - who never saw it coming. Patterson was in the office Obama promised to Andrew Cuomo. The White House indicated that Patterson should not run, but David could not see his way clear to get out of the race. Patterson was destroyed by leaks to the daily organ of leftist government, the New York Times.
This week, it was Rep. Eric Massa, done in by leaks from the Ethics Committee and Rahm Emmanuel himself, including a House gymnasium shower room showdown, like a scene straight out of the Godfather.
The thug culture instituted by this Administration is stunning. Soon, they will be a paranoid as Richard Nixon.
Update: By the way, now that Massa "sleeps with the fishes", I believe the fix is in for the House to pass the Senate's socialized medicine bill.

Congrats to Hurt Locker
The Oscars got this year's Best Picture right. Hurt Locker is a riveting and gritty film about war in Iraq made by Hollywood outsiders and seen in the theatre by very few. I went to see the film and convinced two friends to come along. The film is a work of fiction, to be sure, but does not portray Americans in war as anything other than warriors.
Contrast Hurt Locker with radical leftist Matt Damon's Green Zone or the imponderable Syriana. There is no lecture in Hurt Locker. No American self loathing. No hating on George Bush. No accusations of trading blood for oil.
Hurt Locker is not a film that is easy to watch, but is watchable. It is accessible even to those without a military background. If you have not seen the movie, rent the DVD and give it a try. But set aside time to focus on it, you cannot multi-task watching Hurt Locker.
Watch the film, and thank God that you are safe and at home doing so.

Adam Gadahn May Be Captured
Pakistani sources are saying that US-born al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn has been captured. While nothing pleases me more at the moment than fantasizing about Gadahn being waterboarded at Gitmo, this Administration will provide Gadahn with all the rights and privileges granted to Teddy Kennedy when he killed Mary Jo Kopechne.
While Adam Gadahn still walks this earth, the best I can hope is that he gets put into general population in a prison in Alabama.
More information will leak out about this capture as time goes on. It will be interesting to follow.

Open Questions About The Healthcare Meeting
Why are the Democrats involving Republicans in the discussion about the bills only AFTER the bills have been written and passed by both houses of Congress? The bills have not been withdrawn or rebuked by the Democrat leadership, and the Democrats have had for a year all the votes they need to put a health care takeover on the Anointed One's desk. This was not the Democrats seeking advice and counsel. This was the Democrats seeking a criminal accomplice.
What I did not hear from the Republicans is just as concerning as what I continue to hear from the Democrats. Not one Republican (and certainly no Democrat) said that it is the responsibility of the individual, not government, to provide for his or her own health care. The GOP has bought into this notion that someone other than the recipient must pay for a person's health care.
And that mindset is how we got into the fiscal pickle in the first place.
The price of freedom is not vigilance; the price of freedom is self-reliance. You are a slave if you are dependent upon any other person or entity to receive your needs. If you depend on the government for health care, you are a slave.
Update: People are starting to get it. A CNN poll shows that a majority of Americans now see the government as a threat to their rights. It's been that way all along - slaves have no rights. Glad the "moderates" are catching on.

Even ABC says "You Lie" to Obama
http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2010/02/a-health-care-summit-fact-check.html
Lie number one: Health Care premiums go up under the Anointed One's plan, not down as B. Hussein Obama claims.
Lie number two: Obama claims that under his plan, people won't have to pay for other people's health care. Whoops, the truth is there are "generous subsidies for families with incomes under $88,000". That means taxpayers WILL be paying for other people's health care.
Lie number three: "If you like your plan, you can keep it." The truth: even if the insurance company maintains your plan under the weight of the Federal diktats, you can keep it only for a limited time.
Lie number four: full abortion on demand is covered under the Anointed One's plan. Joe Wilson was 100% right.
