ABC News: Run away! Run Away! Voters Flee Democratic Party in Key Swing States. "President Obama's uphill battle to re-election is getting steeper.  —  A report released today by the centrist think-tank Third Way showed that more than 825,000 voters in eight key battleground states have fled the Democratic Party since Obama won election in 2008."

If this were Sarah Palin liberals would insist she was too stupid for the job: Elizabeth Warren Flubs Red Sox Question Along With Rest Of Democratic Field. "Super-liberal Elizabeth Warren wants to be U.S. Senator from Massachusetts and she has no idea when the Red Sox won the World Series? I bet if she was asked what year Saul Alinsky wrote "Rules For Radicals" she'd be able to answer. (It was 1971.)"

Even the Detroit Free Press can no longer take the ineptitude in Detroit: It's up to city: Fix finances or face manager

Detroit NEAP scores the worst in the nation. The spin? Detroit Free Press: Detroit schools climb slightly in NAEP test scores. A few years ago the Detroit Lions were 0-16.The next season they were 2-14. An improvement in the strict sense of the word, but one that was unavoidable and could almost have been had by chance alone. Same thing with Detroit scores.

Culture of corruption (cont'd): Ex-chief of Oakland County Democratic Party gets probation for fake tea party scheme. "A former chairman of the Oakland County Democratic Party was sentenced to one-year probation, 180 hours of community service and $1,965 in fines Wednesday for his role in a fake Tea Party during the 2010 election."

More corruption, in this case the fleecing of taxpayers: Group: 40 Wayne County retirees make $100K or more in pensions. "Forty ex-employees retired with annual pensions of more than $100,000, according to a report released today by a national taxpayer’s right group."

Good news: Homeland Security Sends Sno-Cone Machines to Michigan

The nice thing about having Big Government bureauweenies in charge of our safety is that price is no object, because they buy anything that strikes their fancy and then charge it our grandchildren — even Sno-Cone machines:

Montcalm County recently received a $900 Arctic Blast Sno-Cone machine.

Detroit Free Press: Charter proponents compare public schools to slavery. "In YouTube videos, Clark Durant (who founded Cornerstone private and charter schools in Detroit and is now running for U.S. Senate) and Rev. Horace Sheffield III (who also owns a charter school in Detroit) invoke Abraham Lincoln, slavery and emancipation in an appeal to "free" schoolchildren, presumably from the chains of public education." Well let's see. The schools in Detroit graduate only 1 in 4, doom the kids to a life of failure and poverty, and they simply cannot get off the liberal plantation. They cannot leave the system! What else to call it?

Then again, doesn't this prove that Hillary is just as incompetent as O? Obama Voter Fraud Case Heats Up In Indiana. "The prospect that an estimated 150 signatures may have been forged on petitions has raised the question of whether President Obama actually reached the legitimate number of signatures needed to be placed on the ballot in Indiana. Under state law, presidential candidates need to file 500 signatures from each of the state's nine congressional districts. Indiana election officials say that in St. Joseph County, the Obama campaign qualified with 534 signatures; Clinton's camp had 704. The certified signatures were never challenged."

BreitbartTV: Christie To Obama: Get Out Of Your Chair. “Mr. President. We need a leader who will lead us to the moment…who will help define what the challenges of meeting the moment means… and then not to be cautious and safe and sit back and wait for someone else to do the hard work, but to get out of your chair and start doing the hard work yourself to make America a greater place.”

But if we win in 2012, you betcha there will be an abortion pill in every girls lunchbox from grade 4 on."

If memory serves, Obama voted for that 2009 budget as a US Senator. If it was "left"for him, then it was also left from himself. Just a reminder of who Riley is:

Another liberal hack 'journalist' hard at work...

Detroit Free Press: Black farmers apply for USDA settlement. No mention in the Free Press of the reality: "500%" of Black US Farmers Sign Up for Reparations From Obama Administration Program 

Leonard Pitts Jr, liberal hack 'journalist' hard at work: In Kansas, a teen beats back little minds. Of course, this ties in with Bush: "Think President George W. Bush, whose administration paid newspaper columnists to write favorably about his policies." Of course, Obama doesn't pay the newspapers directly. His people work there. Pitts forgets this: Communications Corruption at the White House

 The White House is working hard to secure deals that yield fluffy, feel good commentary about the Obama White House. One American White House reporter used colorful terms to describe the arrangement. The reporter said, "They want 'blow jobs' first [in the press sense]. Then you have to be on good behavior for a bit or be willing to deal, and then you get access."

Detroit Free Press: Editorial: Is bankruptcy the only answer for Detroit? Is the sky blue?

No law precludes Detroit's current elected leaders from renegotiating the city's obligations to vendors, employees, retirees and creditors, reducing services to residents, or raising user fees until its revenues and expenses are brought into balance. But it now seems highly unlikely that Mayor Dave Bing and the City Council will be able to do these things before the city runs out of money, perhaps before the coming spring.

Am I spelling incompetent correctly? Or is it impotent? Or both?

UPDATE: Editorial: Us vs. them won't cut it in Detroit's fiscal crisis. No it won't, but Detroit knows nothing else.
