President Barrack Obama maybe our most incompetent President since Jimmy Carter. Both Carter and Obama share the same high opinion of themselves and both are now revealed to be bunglers without a clue. Obama's 12 hour support for the Ground Zero Mosque before he mounted a full and hasty retreat is the single worst misstep since Carter blamed a national malaise for the nation's problems.

How could master-politician Obama have such a political tin-ear? Obama has singlehandedly increased public awareness-and opposition to the proposed Mosque handing the Republican a wedge issue that can peel away moderate democrats and independents who rightly see this as not a freedom of religion issue but an effort by a group of shady Islamists who refuse to recognized Hamas as a terrorist organization and who have indisputable ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, another terrorist front.

Obama has now nationalized the issue in one bold stroke. Calling 62% of New Yorkers who oppose the Mosque bigots and racists wont work as a political tactic. More and more American are becoming aware of Islamo-facism as a genuine world threat. Those who deny it are like those who assured us in 1938 that Hitler was just a kook and not really dangerous.

Supporters of the Ground Zero mosque claim that since only a few Muslims are involved in terrorism that we should encourage the majority non-violent/non-jihadist "moderate" Muslims by supporting their mosque building. However the Imam pushing this Mosque at Ground Zero is not a moderate muslim and US mosques are easily infiltrated with radical elements. For example, in 2008, a survey deemed "Mapping Sharia in America Project," by the Washington-based Center for Security Policy infiltrated mosques and Islamic Centers throughout the United States in an effort to bring to attention those that posed a threat to the national security of the country. Agents - consisting of former FBI, CIA, and U.S. military counterintelligence and counterterrorism personnel - discovered that out of the initial 100 (mosques and Islamic centers) mapped, 75 were preaching sermons calling for insurrection and jihad.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg has effectively ended any chance of a national political career after leaving the New York Mayor's office. His position on the Mosque doesn't play anywhere outside Manhattan. Obama's handling of the BP Oil Spill had already cast doubt on his capability. His Carter-like bungling on the Mosque issue reinforces his poor judgment and the image that he supports an ideology most Americans don't. Who ever thought George W. Bush would look this good this soon?

Republican US Senate candidate Sharon Angle can still win the seat of U.S. Senate majority leader Harry Reid despite an expensive early summer negative TV pounding of Angle by Reid's Special Interest-fueled campaign and a so-called 527 committee organized by Reid cronies. A recent Rasmussen Poll show 41 % of voters now viewed Angle unfavorably while 48 % Reid's negatives still outweighs Angle's. Reid is under 50% at 45% and Angle is at 43%. High unemployment is hurting Reid who is trying to depict Angle as a dangerous nut.

Angle's campaign has been hording resources for a late Fall blitz. By that time this race will be over. Someone must both defend Angle and counter attack Reid in the late summer. If Angle's negative rating rises above Reid's she will lose. Where are the groups who helped her win the primary, Club for Growth and Tea Party Express? Where is the Karl Rove group, Crossroads?

The attacks on Angle all have logical counter-punches but he defenders must engage. Angle can win but time is running out.

In the pages of the Wall Street Journal, Fred Barnes has lately lamented the betrayal of "traditional journalism" by the liberal denizens of Journolist -- the defunct listserv that conservatives have used to revive the debate over "liberal media bias." His widely quoted Journal Op-Ed noted that before Journolist, neither liberal nor conservative journalists were likely to be "part of a team," and went on to add:

"If there's a team, no one has asked me to join. As a conservative, I normally write more favorably about Republicans than Democrats and I routinely treat conservative ideas as superior to liberal ones. But I've never been part of a discussion with conservative writers about how we could most help the Republican or the conservative team."

This assertion of political purity struck me as false, coming from a journalist who has appeared repeatedly as a speaker at Republican Party events across the country -- a breach of the political boundaries of "traditional journalism" that few, if any, of the writers on Journolist, for example, would ever contemplate.

Nevertheless, it is true that Barnes has enjoyed greater credibility than other journalists on the partisan right throughout his career. After all, he is a former reporter for such publications as the Washington Star, the Baltimore Sun and the New Republic. He was once a Nieman Fellow at Harvard and served as one of three panelists for the first nationally televised debate between Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale in 1984.

Now, however, there is further evidence that Barnes not only routinely helped Republicans raise money as a banquet speaker, but accepted tens of thousands of dollars from party organizations as well..

Beleagured Congressman Charlie Rangel has more political options than many realize,as he face a House trial on charges that clearly include tax evasion and abuse of power. He could be expelled or resign from the House, win the Democratic primary and the general election and force the House to decide whether to seat him... if he can get by hard-charging Adam Clayton Powell IV, (http://powellforcongress.com) the lengendary. Congressman and Civil Rights leader Rangel defeated in 1970.

The district is no longer the bastion of African Americans it once was. Hispanics are a strong plurality of the votes, followed by upper east side whites and with african American's third. Powell's mother was a celebrated Puerto rican beauty who's family included a Puerto Rican Governor. Powell is half spanish and speaks fluent Spanish. Moreover Rangel's Black base is eroded by two additional African American candidates, one of them gay.

Powell is not without his own blemishes having beaten sexual assault and DUI charges in the past but his sins pale next to Rangel's stealing and cheating the tax-man.A recent poll had Rangel at 38% and Powell at 27% and climbing.

Rev. Michael Faulkner , a former New York Jet ,is the Republican candidate (http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=38261) is waging an impressive and disciplined campaign against great odds.

I would have so much more respect for Kathleen Parker who has agreed to co-anchor at CNN with world-class slimeball Eliot Spitzer if she would just admit she is doing it for the $700,00 CNN is paying her (Client # 9 is only getting $400,000) but trying to whitewash and rationalize Spitzer's sins in a self-serving column in the Washington Post is beyond the pale.

Parker writes that she "researched Spitzer's record thoroughly" and that his transgressions were "between he and his family". This promulgates the myth that seeing prostitutes was Spitzer's only sin and betrayal of the public trust, a myth pushed by twin propagandists Alex Gibney and Peter Elkind in their fictional film and book meant to whitewash the steamroller.

How could any account of Spitzer fail to mention Democrat Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's scathing report on Spitzer's roll in using the State Police to spy on his political enemies despite tht fact that Spitzer, as Governor refused to give Cuomo subpoena power to probe the matter? In his film "Client #9" Gibney even uses an actress to play an anonymous hooker who denies Spitzer's black sock fetish - a total Hollywood contrivance.

Parker could not have researched the Spitzer record because she would know of his many violations of law including perjury over the illegal funding of his first two campaigns for Attorney general, the illegal financing of these campaigns by his father and his repeated on-the-record lies about it to the New York Times and New York Daily News, his record of blackmail on Wall Street, his abuse of power as Governor where he used the State Police, Gestapo-like to spy and fabricate documents to attack his political enemies- a taxpayer expense. His State Police Superintendent was forced to resign over his improper carrying out of Spitzer's orders.

Spitzer pushed and passed tougher penalties for Johns of prostitutes while he himself was using a least five escort services in New York. He violated Federal money laundering laws and the Mann Act which prohibits transporting a prostitute across state lines- which a New York Supreme Court Justice was convicted of in 2009 he took a call girl to Kentucky to service he and his pals at a fraternal organization meeting one weekend. Why not Spitzer?

Parker is a facilitator. She is being paid to sit there while Spitzer talks about the lack of honesty on Wall Street and in government when he is himself a privileged law-breaker and a serial abuser of women, If reports of his violent side are accurate as I believe they are. Spitzer can speak with moral authority about nothing. Parker should just admit she sold out for the dough.
