MAYBE IT'S NOT TOO DARNED HOT – AT 8:15 P.M. ET:  More worries for Al Gore and his inconvenient truthers.  From the Financial Times:

A key piece of evidence in climate change science was slammed as “exaggerated” on Wednesday by the UK’s leading statistician, in a vindication of claims that global warming sceptics have been making for years.

Professor David Hand, president of the Royal Statistical Society, said that a graph shaped like an ice hockey stick that has been used to represent the recent rise in global temperatures had been compiled using “inappropriate” methods.

“It used a particular statistical technique that exaggerated the effect [of recent warming],” he said.

COMMENT:  Little by little, the truth comes out.  What we need now is a major investigation, or series of investigations, by the best panels we can find, to get to the bottom of this, before trillions of dollars are spent on a phantom.

THE NEW SCHOLARSHIP – AT 7:30 P.M. ET:  Andrew Malcolm, of the L.A. Times's Top of the Ticket blog, reports that the Library of Congress now will collect the writings of...you:

Breaking: OMG WTH @LibraryCongress sez its acquired evry Tweet evr sent. Will store every 1! 50mil/day. B careful what u say now. Its 4evr

RT that!

Do we need 2 keep all these Tweets? What u-no-who had 4 bfast, when whos-its goes zzzzz. Who was ROFLMAO!!

Don't forget, was also some history including the 1st prez victory Tweet evr by 1st blk prez evr. And who knows what indiscreet Tweet Twittered recently will come back to haunt a future presidential candidate?

There are billions of Tweets already in existence since the social network began in March of 2006. How will they ever find enough drawer space to store them all?

As Matt Raymond, the Library's official blogger, notes, the precious national library resource has been about more than books for a long while already. It's been gathering online stuff ever since ever since.

Matt says:

"The Library has been collecting materials from the web since it began harvesting congressional and presidential campaign websites in 2000. Today we hold more than 167 terabytes of web-based information, including legal blogs, websites of candidates for national office, and websites of Members of Congress."

COMMENT:  Well, now we're all immortal.  Imagine, all those tweets you wrote will be read by researchers a thousand years from now. 

Wait.  A thousand years from now nobody will be reading English.  So relax.

"PULL THE TRIGGER," McCAIN SAYS ABOUT IRAN – AT 7:20 P.M. ET:  Using stunningly blunt language, Senator John McCain today needled the Obama administration about its failing Iran policy.  From Fox:

As Iran gets closer to fulfilling its nuclear ambitions, Republican lawmakers are pushing the Obama administration to stop whistling past the graveyard and get tough with the Islamic Republic.

Sen. John McCain said Wednesday the United States has been backing away from a brewing fight with Iran, while U.S. officials admitted that that country's accelerated nuclear program is roughly a year away from producing a weapon.

McCain opened a Senate hearing Wednesday by saying that Iran will get the bomb unless the U.S. acts more boldly. The Arizona Republican said the U.S. keeps pointing a loaded gun at Iran, but it is failing to "pull the trigger."

The U.S. government has prepared a new, classified assessment of Iran's nuclear capability and intent, but it has not released it yet. Military and intelligence officials who testified before Congress Wednesday would not publicly address whether the U.S. has changed its 4-year-old assessment that Iran isn't actively seeking to make a bomb.

What we know definitely is that nothing we've done, or the "international community" has done, has dented the Iranian program.

Gen. James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that Iran could have a deliverable nuclear weapon in three to five years, going a step further than Defense Secretary Gates, who told reporters Tuesday that Iran could make a nuclear weapon within a year.

Lots of wordwork here.  When Cartwright talks about a "deliverable" weapon, he means something that could be put on the tip of a missile.  But what about a basic nuclear device, sailed into a harbor and detonated?  It seems to me that would take a lot less time to develop.  Frankly, that's my greatest concern.  I really don't think Iran, under most circumstances, would launch missiles, which are easily detected and have home addresses.  A clandestine explosion somewhere, untraceable, would be much more intelligent.

Once again, we're facing the fact that nothing has actually been done about Iran, despite all the noise.  The next sound you hear may be BOOM!

ANOTHER FAMOUS VICTORY - TELL YOUR FRIENDS, CALL YOUR MOTHER – AT 10:50 A.M. ET:  The Obama administration, tough as nails, scores another victory in our fight-to-the death against Iran, demonstrating how it got China on our side.  From AP:

SINGAPORE — A state-owned Chinese refiner plans to ship 30,000 metric tons of gasoline to Iran after European traders halted shipments ahead of possible new UN sanctions, according to Singapore ship brokers.

Beijing has growing commercial and political ties with Iran and has resisted US pressure for sanctions to press Teheran to abandon its nuclear program. Chinese officials say the country is entitled to energy trade.

Unipec, the trading arm of China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., or Sinopec, plans to load the oil tanker Hongbo with the gasoline Thursday in Singapore, said the brokers, who asked not to be identified further to avoid jeopardizing customer relations.

They said the tanker will likely go directly to Iran.

The gasoline shipment suggests Chinese refiners are moving to fill the void left by European suppliers, who halted sales to Iran earlier this year.

A deputy Chinese foreign minister, Cui Tiankai, said Tuesday that China is ready to discuss all ideas that UN Security Council members put forward to deal with Iran's nuclear program. But he said any agreement on Iran must involve all parties, not just one or two countries.

COMMENT:  Oh, I guess it really isn't a victory, is it?  But I'll bet the Obamans can get the Chinese not to send the highest octane gasoline, couldn't they?  And no windshield cleaning fluid, that's for sure!  And those damned mullahs can forget Simoniz!  We're on a roll.

Pretty pathetic, don't you think?

DISTURBING RESULT – AT 9:40 A.M. ET:  We often cite Scott Rasmussen's polling results here, in part because they're based on likely voters, which we feel is the most accurate method of polling.

In recent days, Rasmussen has reported an increase in support for President Obama, almost exclusively among Democrats.  That support is important.  If you can bring out your base on election day, you're in far better shape than if you can't.  The results:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 32% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -8.

These results confirm the growing enthusiasm among the Democratic base. Sixty-one percent of liberal voters Strongly Approve of his performance while 68% of conservatives Strongly Disapprove.

And...

The President has not had a better Approval Index rating since February 1. Still, Republicans enjoy a nine-point lead among Likely Voters on the Generic Congressional Ballot. 

It's interesting that, although Rasmussen is often accused of publishing polls tilted toward Republicans, his numbers are actually more favorable toward Obama than the latest from Gallup.  Consider, from Rasmussen:

Overall, 50% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove. Today is the first time the President’s Total Approval has reached the 50% mark in nearly two months.

We'll have to wait for some confirming numbers in coming weeks, but the GOP can't rejoice if Obama is actually getting stronger.  We always stress that polls are snapshots in time. 

Clearly, the Democrats are happy with Obama's latest moves.  He hasn't been helped, though, among independents, who are absolutely critical to his political future.

AND NOW FOR THE OTHER SIDE – AT 8:58 A.M. ET:  Now we've all heard about how racist, violent, bigoted, fascistic, stupid and destructive the tea partiers are.  Why, neighborhood after neighborhood is being ravaged.  You do notice that, don't you?  Haven't you seen your streets torn up?  Make the left happy:  Imagine it!

But how many have heard about the other side, the often terrifying, and real behavior of "progressives" when they take to the streets?  Gateway Pundit has an ugly story, which, of course, is largely suppressed by the in-the-tank media:

GOP Official & Boyfriend Savagely Beaten In Politically Motivated Attack – Including Broken Leg, Jaw, Concussion… Media Silent …UPDATES & Police Report:

The governor’s office said Monday that Allee Bautsch suffered a broken leg and her boyfriend suffered a concussion and fractured nose and jaw in the alleged incident. (KSLA)

A Republican activist and her boyfriend were savagely beaten in New Orleans on Friday for wearing Sarah Palin pins.

Free Republic reported:

Allee Bautsch, chief campaign fundraiser for Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, and her boyfriend Joe Brown, were savagely beaten Friday night in New Orleans after leaving a Republican party fundraising dinner by a group of thugs who reportedly targeted the couple because they were wearing Sarah Palin pins.

Bautch’s leg was broken and Brown incurred a broken jaw and nose as well as a concussion.

The Hayride reports that a source who visited Bautsch at the hospital the day after the attack says they were told the couple was attacked for wearing Palin buttons

Governor Jindal's office is being careful not to make direct accusations, saying the matter is under investigation.  But a series of eyewitness reports leaves no serious doubt that the couple was targeted for political reasons. 

Anyone interested?  New York Times?  MSNBC?

LOST IN SPACE – AT 8:38 A.M. ET:  We haven't discussed this enough.  The Obama administration's space exploration policy, and budget, show complete contempt for the dreamers, explorers and scientists who have been so inspiring to Americans in the last half century.

Now, some of America's best-known spacemen, and its most famous astronaut, are speaking out in protest.  I don't know how much attention they'll get in the world of Obama, including its journalistic adjunct.  The left has never been especially interested in the space program, which doesn't have the label "entitlement attached.  From NBC News:

The first man to walk on the moon blasted President Barack Obama’s decision to cancel NASA’s back-to-the-moon program on Tuesday, saying that the move is “devastating” to America’s space effort.

Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong’s open letter was also signed by Apollo 17 commander Eugene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon; and Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell, who is marking the 40th anniversary of his famous lunar non-landing this week.

The letter was released to NBC News just two days in advance of Obama’s trip to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a space policy summit. Obama is expected to flesh out his vision for the space agency's future during his speech at the summit.

And...

Canceling Constellation could lead to thousands of layoffs at some of America's biggest aerospace contractors, including Lockheed Martin, the Boeing Co. and ATK. Such job losses are among the factors behind congressional opposition to the cancellation. Armstrong and his fellow astronauts emphasize the bigger implications, however, and say in their letter that the decision would put the nation on a "long downhill slide to mediocrity."

What's wrong with mediocrity?  This administration sponsors it every day.

"For the United States, the leading spacefaring nation for nearly half a century, to be without carriage to low Earth orbit and with no human exploration capability to go beyond Earth orbit for an indeterminate time into the future, destines our nation to become one of second- or even third-rate stature," they said in the letter.

QUOTE:  This should be taken very seriously.  Like many Obama policies, the space program has "sleeper" features.  The losses that Armstrong and his colleagues warn about won't be obvious for years.  Once they become clear, there will be nothing we can do.

ANOTHER GREAT MOMENT IN FOREIGN POLICY – AT 8:20 A.M. ET:  You can't accuse the White House of inconsistency in foreign policy.  It is thoroughly consistent – insulting America's friends and appeasing its enemies.  One must be impressed by the intellectual rigor of such a maneuver.

Now, Jackson Diehl of the Washington Post, reveals the latest snub by President Obama.  Diehl points out that 12 of the leaders gathered in Washington for the nuclear nonproliferation summit got personal meetings with the president.  Some of the exceptions were notable:

One of those left out was Mikheil Saakashvili, president of Georgia, who got a phone call from Obama last week instead of a meeting in Washington. His exclusion must have prompted broad smiles in Moscow, where Saakashvili is considered public enemy no. 1 -- a leader whom Russia tried to topple by force in the summer of 2008. After all, Obama met with Viktor Yanukovych, the president of Ukraine and a friend of the Kremlin. And he is also meeting with the leaders of two of Georgia’s neighbors -- Armenia and Turkey, both of which enjoy excellent relations with Russia...

...Saakashvili’s exclusion from the bilateral schedule is striking considering his strong support for U.S. interests, such as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Georgia sent as many as 2,000 troops from its tiny army to Iraq. It will soon have nearly 1,000 in Afghanistan; 750 are being sent to fight under U.S. command. U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke noted last month that Georgia’s per capita troop contribution would be the highest of any country in the world.

Ally of the United States.  That probably put him on the "bad" list at this White House.  It's tough to be a friend of America these days.  Saakashvili is in good company. 

Obama thanked Saakashvili for that help in their phone call last week. But according to a Georgian account of the call, Obama didn’t say anything about Georgia’s aspiration to join NATO, or about Georgia’s interest in buying defensive weapons from the United States, in order to deter a repeat of the 2008 Russian invasion.

COMMENT:  The chill sent out by this administration toward countries who have the guts to stand with us must eventually have its impact.  These countries have their "realists," as we do.  They may well conclude that an alliance with the United States isn't worth it.  Can we blame them?

THE RIGHT THING TO DO – AT 7:31 P.M. ET:  I've sometimes written here that one of the most honorable things you can do in politics is to keep your movement honest.  It's hard, and painful.  It means going up against your friends, and sometimes losing them.

William F. Buckley Jr. stressed this throughout his storied career, working endlessly to fight extremism and nuttiness in the conservative movement he worked so hard to build.  He largely succeeded.  There was no one in liberalism who made the same effort, and the result is obvious.

Now a group of Oklahoma Republicans, following Bill Buckley's example, is doing the right thing:

A group of tea party leaders and Republican state legislators that wants to create a volunteer militia in Oklahoma has no place in the GOP, state Republicans told POLITICO on Tuesday.

The Associated Press has reported that tea party movement leaders and two Republican Oklahoma state lawmakers — Rep. Charles Key and Sen. Randy Brogdon, also a candidate for governor — have discussed forming a militia to defend against what they see as federal infringements on the state’s rights.

In a phone interview, state GOP Chairman Gary Jones said the tea party activists are only talking about forming a militia because “they are trying to make themselves out to be bigger than they are.”

“A lot of these people don’t care about being the majority, they just want a megaphone. They want a voice,” the state GOP chairman said. “Once they get a reporter to cover a story they have a megaphone, and they get pretty loud.”

Jones insisted that Oklahoma Republicans will not follow this “small faction within the party.”

“They’re going to look back and see there are not a whole lot of folks following them in this direction,” he said.

COMMENT:  There are limits in politics.  You have to police your own movement.  The Oklahoma GOP is doing the right thing by rejecting an extremist idea.  Contrast please with the Democratic Party, which tries to throw out Joe Lieberman but embraces Barbara Lee of California, a follower of Fidel Castro.

There have been several other conservative voices raised in recent days, cautioning about extremism.  They are following, not only Buckley's example, but Reagan's.  Reagan, like his political hero, FDR, knew where the limits were.  For those who think the skies are filled with black helicopters, maybe they'd be happier elsewhere.

OUR STUDENT GOVERNMENT – AT 7:09 P.M. ET:  I listened to the president's speech wrapping up the nuclear proliferation summit in Washington. 

Listening to Obama is like listening to a well-practiced "motivational speaker."  Smooth words.  Exciting words.  Better look for the substance.

Wonderful things were done, the president assured us.  Why, nations came forward (think an evangelical meeting), and these nations made commitments.  Yes, commitments my friend, right here in River City.  (Think "The Music Man.")  The heavens have lightened!  We are the good people!

And, yes, Mr. Obama did announce some actions that some countries have taken, like giving up some nuclear material.  And then, unfortunately for Mr. Obama, there were press questions.

And so Bill Plante of CBS News spoiled Mr. Obama's hustle by noting, very simply, that the final agreement announced by the summit made it clear that all commitments were voluntary.

Oh.

Yeah, it's a little problem in the grown-up world, but there is absolutely no enforcement mechanism in the summit's summary of joy.  None at all.  And little problems like Iran and Pakistan were left out entirely.  As Charles Krauthammer said, many of these "world leaders" will return to their capitals tomorrow wondering what the whole thing was about.

It was about Obama.  Now, true, we are glad that the president has raised the profile of nuclear terrorism.  He is to be commended for that.  All praise.  But where this president fails, and fails badly, is translating rhetoric into reality.  He reflects the narrow, cloistered, in some cases immature world in which he has spent most of his life.  We saw this with health care.  We're seeing it in foreign policy.  It's words that count to him.  The deeds go undone, or are left to others. 

Words can indeed matter.  Churchill used the English language as a weapon.  But Churchill backed his words with actions.  Thus far, the president's actions in foreign policy have been anemic at best, treacherous at worst, except for his buildup in Afghanistan. 

So we've had another conference.  It reminds me of all the conferences the League of Nations had in the 1930s.  The bottom line is this:  If Iran gets the bomb, who will take us seriously?  If Al Qaeda sets off a dirty nuke in an American city, who will fear us?  What will we have left, except the fading pages of the program from today's conference?

DEMAND FOR REPEAL GROWS – AT 10:02 A.M. ET:  Rasmussen reports that support for outright repeal of Obamacare is growing:

Rasmussen Reports has released new numbers today showing increased support for the full repeal of Obamacare. The new weekly polling results show that 58% of likely voters now support repeal of the government takeover of health care. A full 50% strongly support the repeal.

The telephone survey of likely voters nationwide finds 38% still oppose repeal, including 32% who strongly oppose it...

...Eighty-eight percent (88%) of Republicans and 54% of voters not affiliated with either major party favor repeal. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Democrats are opposed.

COMMENT:  The polling reflects a pattern we see in other policy areas as well.  The only voters strongly supporting Obama today are Democrats.  He's lost the independents, and he never had the Republicans. 

This bodes well for the GOP in November, unless the party messes things up, which it has a unique ability to do.

WHO NEEDS DOCTORS WHEN "THE ONE" WILL LAY ON HANDS? – AT 9:18 A.M. ET:  Already we are seeing the negative effects of the reckless Obamacare law.  From The Wall Street Journal:

The new federal health-care law has raised the stakes for hospitals and schools already scrambling to train more doctors.

Experts warn there won't be enough doctors to treat the millions of people newly insured under the law. At current graduation and training rates, the nation could face a shortage of as many as 150,000 doctors in the next 15 years, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.

So you'll wait.  So what.  Look how European you'll feel. 

That shortfall is predicted despite a push by teaching hospitals and medical schools to boost the number of U.S. doctors, which now totals about 954,000.

The greatest demand will be for primary-care physicians. These general practitioners, internists, family physicians and pediatricians will have a larger role under the new law, coordinating care for each patient.

The U.S. has 352,908 primary-care doctors now, and the college association estimates that 45,000 more will be needed by 2020. But the number of medical-school students entering family medicine fell more than a quarter between 2002 and 2007.

A shortage of primary-care and other physicians could mean more-limited access to health care and longer wait times for patients.

Right-wing tea party propaganda.  I hear the n-word.

What do these peasants out there want?  Real doctors?  They must stop watching these TV medical shows.  It's a new day now.  Everyone gets mediocre care.  We are all victims....equally.

THE GRIM REALITY – AT 8:37 A.M. ET:  This has just come in, and there are few details, but it is disturbing.  From the Jerusalem Post:

Iran will join the global nuclear club within one month, according to the deputy research chief of the Islamic republic’s Atomic Energy of Iran (AEOI).

Fars on Tuesday quoted Behzad Soltani, who also serves as the secretary-general of the AEOI’s Scientific Cooperation Council, as saying that “no country would ever think about attacking Iran” once the nuclear threshold has been crossed.

It is not clear from the story exactly what that "nuclear threshold" is.  I would, though, take this seriously.  No one doubts that the Iranian program is moving forward at a quick pace. 

"We do not intend to use the peaceful nuclear energy merely for generating electricity and energy, rather our next step would be expanding use of this technology,” Soltani reportedly said. Radiation, he said, can ensure that “foodstuff, proteins and vegetables are preserved for a longer time and with a higher quality.”

Soltani added that construction work on a large-scale nuclear powerplant and a smaller research reactor in the Iranian city of Arak is nearing completion and is now at 70 percent.

COMMENT:  An Iranian bomb would be a major blow to American foreign policy and prestige, although some of the mainstream media would probably go into spin mode and minimize it, the better to serve the administration it helped put into power. 

There is absolutely nothing on the horizon, including so-called sanctions, that will stop the Iranians.  Regime change might do it – the success of the democracy movement – but Obama will do nothing to help the Iranian freedom fighters. 

And, of course, there is military action.  But the Iranians calculate, probably correctly, that the Obamans would never attack because it might "offend" the Muslim world, and that they will make it impossible for Israel to attack.

If I were an Iranian mullah today, I'd be mulling victory.

OH DEAR, OH DEAR, THEY'VE DONE IT AGAIN – AT 8:08 A.M. ET:  The Obamans, I mean.  At what point do we start to scream at the endless series of foreign-policy mistakes made by the amateur operators in charge of the White House?

Just yesterday the administration was telling us that there had been a breakthrough in getting China on board with sanctions against Iran.  The in-the-tank press echoed this enormous success.  We had moved mountains.  We had moved tea leaves.  The Great Wall itself was seen to move, under the hand of The One.

Uh, not so fast, fellas.  China has now weighed in to explain its own foreign policy, and it ain't what the house of Obama the divine was claiming yesterday. 

WASHINGTON (AFP) – China said Tuesday sanctions were not the answer to the Iranian atomic standoff, denting US President Barack Obama's hopes of sealing a deal to punish Tehran as he hosted a summit on nuclear arms.

Obama was expected to urge world leaders to harden their resolve to lock down nuclear material on the second day of a 47-nation summit in Washington aimed at keeping atomic weapons out of terrorist hands.

However the conference threatened to be overshadowed by growing tension on Iran, which the United States and its allies accuse of covertly working on a nuclear weapon. Iran says it is pursuing only civilian power.

The two-day gathering saw Obama meet Monday with Chinese President Hu Jintao and others in consultations he described as "impressive", buoyed by Ukraine's renouncement of its bomb-grade uranium.

"I think it's an indication of how deeply concerned everybody should be with the possibilities of nuclear traffic," Obama told reporters.

COMMENT:  What a joke.  It's perfectly obvious that China hasn't changed its policy at all, and that any sanctions the Chinese support at the U.N. will probably begin and end with the sale of bubble gum to Iran. 

This is what happens when an administration is based on constant fast hustling, the golden voice of the guy at the top, and little of substance.

BOW-WOW – AT 7:44 A.M. ET:  The president of the United States has bowed down again, this time to the leader of China.  This follows the well-publicized bows to the king of Saudi Arabia, a place where a Christian cannot celebrate Christmas, and Japan, a nation whose unbowed democracy was created by American blood.

Scott Johnson, of Power Line, comments:

Whence the source of Obama's "respect" for the King of Saudi Arabia and the president of China as opposed to other heads of state? We are left to speculate on the meaning of Obama's bowing and scraping for ourselves.

Obama means to teach Americans to bow before monarchs and tyrants. He embodies the ideological multiculturalism that sets the United States on the same plane as other regimes based on tribal privilege, royal bloodlines and one-party rule.

Obama gives expressive form to the idea that the United States now willingly prostrates itself before the rest of the world. He declares that the United States is a country like any other, only worse, because we have so much for which to apologize. When it comes to the United States, he has a serious case of what Peter Wehner dubs denigration reflex.

Despite his obsequiousness to tyrants, Obama is not a humble man. On the contrary, Obama is a man of extraordinary arrogance. He seeks fundamentally to transform the United States. With him, a new age begins.

COMMENT:  Scott is correct.  The most painful element is Obama's seeming indifference to the contrast between democrats and dictators.  Like most graduates of the far left, he sees little value in democracy, and does nothing to advance it in the world.  Indeed, he appears to believe that the delivery of services by government to the "oppressed" masses is far more important than any democratic norm.

Obama does not bow down to the prime minister of England or Canada, and isn't even photographed with the prime minister of Israel. 

And yet, a young generation of Americans, miseducated in our increasingly left-wing schools, apparently has no problem with this president's behavior. 

A Republican takeover of Congress this fall may well clip Obama's domestic wings in some respects, but foreign policy is the province of the president, and the damage Obama does can continue, even with Congress potentially against him.

Imagine if this man got a second term, when he will have nothing to lose politically, and can run free.
