(Slap my face... color me surprised, nay shocked...)

“I want to be realistic here, not everything that we talked about during the campaign are we going to be able to do on the pace we had hoped,” Obama said in an interview on ABC’s “This Week” program broadcast this morning. “Everybody’s going to have to give.”

I was the first pundit to tell you he would be president. I was also the first pundit to tell you he'd break hearts. At least he's owning up to it early...

One rule to always remember about liberal-speak:

When they run around talking about being more "even-handed with Israel" it only means one thing, "Asking Israel to be less aggressive in defending herself."

If the substance of this article turns out to be true, then it looks like Obama may finally be ready to keep one of his campaign promises.

The one where he sits down with a terror organization without pre-condition.

For those who are confused about this matter Hamas is a terror organization that has posted its desires to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth--even online. They are bankrolled by Iran, and they have no desire to live peacefully with Israel. (Hence the thousands of missiles they've been shooting into Israel for the better part of the last two years.)

"Opening a channel" to pigs like Hamas does nothing in the Islamic conflict except communicate to them that the U.S. is only ready to sit down and talk.

These are not human beings were are dealing with they are Islamofreaks who believe the 12th Imam is on his way. They view their responsibility in this matter as the ones who must prepare that way. And one of the issues in doing so is eliminating the nation of Israel completely. (Hence why Ahmedinijhad repeatedly talks about doing so.)

By the way... they believe that anyone who stands with Israel is the same foul beast they view Israel as.

So long story short...

Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and other Shihite muslims will continue to threaten Israel, attack Israel, and attempt to wipe Israel off the map.

Obama will "respond" by giving a speech and saying something about how we need to communicate with all involved (regardless of who actually started it) and tell them all to play nicely with each other.

Shihites will then respond by killing more Israelis and if we stand with them, then turn their sites on us.

Obama will then give another speech... point his finger wave his hand back and forth and look indignant.

Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah will register laughter on the range of picking it up in space by satellites...

At which point Obama will reluctantly call Bill Clinton to ask him what he should do.

To which the former president will finally return the call upon completion of his "activity."

About that time, we Americans will wonder if "Hope and Change" really was all it would take to create a universe in which unicorns excrete rainbows, and telling these people to "play nice" would solve the problem...

So bankers, mortgage companies, American Express, GMAC, and the domestic auto industry all got bailouts... The Governors of the states of California, New Jersey and others are all in line with their hands out...

And now the Porn Industry--represented by Larry Flynt and Joe Francis--are headed to Washington DC to (with straight faces intact) ask for a partial stimulus package.

Claiming that the poor economy has severely injured the "recreational sex" interest and ability in this downturn these two vile dredges of our society are asking for $5 billion to sustain the losses they've endured.

And they are so articulate...

"With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind," Flynt says. "It's time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America."

And uhm....

Joe Francis, "Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation's most important businesses; we feel we deserve the same consideration."

They also claim that the XXX DVD sector is off 22% in sales from the previous year. Considering my own 401k is off about 48% I can certainly relate.

And I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss the possibility they might get it.

Men that have to turn to porn to satisfy what they are unable to work out in the relational aspects of their lives are truly in sad circumstances, so should we now publicly subsidize the worst instincts in one's proclivities? Should we force the taxpayer to help underwrite the future of an industry that creates all sorts of bondage--both spiritual and emotional--in the women it exploits in creating its profits? Should we as a nation be proud of how "open minded" this kind of degeneracy has brought us to?

You watch, some lawyer will cite some obscure precedent somewhere... mark my words.

The Porn endeavors in America have left marriages, homes, and lives in tatters. And we would be making a monstrous mistake in letting Washington even sniff in the direction of making this request a reality.

I've been unilaterally opposed to ALL of the bailouts to date. This one I especially think they should let starve...

For the last week or so I had seen the promos for the new ABC reality series, "What would you do?"

The concept was one that intrigued me given my long time fascination with the moral dilemmas of life. In fact it is just these types of dilemmas that my radio show covers weekly, in our attempt to encourage those who listen to 'Xtreme' Radio to hopefully act with more clarity in the situations they face in life.

So after the season premiere of the ABC version of SCRUBS, I decided to stick around for the season premiere of "What would you do?"

Which should have been titled, "Why does America suck so much?"

John Quinones, this week's host, picked two subject matters for tonight's show. Response to how a deli in Linden, New Jersey  treats two vocally belligerent illegal aliens who are being denied service, and what "Ugly Americans" look like in Paris.

In the New Jersey scenario the belligerent illegals, and the waiter behind the counter saying horrifically mean spirited things to them were all actors, the gig was to see how others reacted.

For the most part, most didn't react.

One African American, who finally does react, repeatedly encourages the illegals to "leave and go somewhere else" to get their breakfast sandwich and coffee. At one point the African American male is then busted and run through the wringer for saying what he said.

The white wash that was made in the piece however was infuriating.

While one or two Americans out of a hundred might believe that illegal aliens shouldn't get service in a deli, nearly 80% of Americans out of that same hundred would believe that illegals should not come here illegally. In addition they also hold that we as a nation should do more to encourage a legal immigration policy across the board.

At one point Quinones makes the inference that he was once a migrant worker and had received poor treatment. The red flag in my mind was that Quinones in his "gotcha" moments kept trying to make it seem that the American public confuses LEGAL immigrants, and migrant workers, with illegal immigrants.

The ABC News cameras even shot B-roll footage of a street corner in Linden where at least 40-50 illegals gathered that day to find work in the morning.

Americans DON'T confuse the issue of those who have come to this country out of a love for it and a desire to become AMERICAN vs. those who skirt the laws, slip across the borders, smuggle people, drugs, and other contraband in (and also pose a threat to our national security.)

John Quinones owes the American public an apology for using his platform to paint Americans as xenophobic. It was a lie from the pit, and he should know better.

His second topic was to take two "rednecks" and plop them down in Paris as the two most overly stereotypical figures ever conceived. The entire exercise was meant to poke fingers in the eyes of Americans for not being more cosmopolitan and French in their behaviors.

While this excruciatingly hate-America tripe was running, what was merely brushed over was that as the secret cameras rolled in MANY instances it was actually fellow American tourists who would correct Tweedle Dee and Dum in their Parisian exploits.

If John Quinones is actually interested in watching human behavior undergo the temptation of moral dilemmas, let's hope he chooses honest situations, with actual practical application to human behavior in the future. However seeing how he delighted in producing pieces tonight that even again compared "Bush" to "Hitler" he just lost what little journalism credibility he had.

Put another way:
M. Quinones lui-meme est une honte pour la pratique du journalisme et devrait etre retrograde au role de substitution dans les jours a venir.

See you DailyKos, Democrat Underground, George Soros, CNN, geniuses...

They hate you too:

"This is Obama whom the American machine of lies tried to portray as the rescuer who will change the policy of America," al-Zawahiri said, according to SITE. "He kills your brothers and sisters in Gaza mercilessly and without affection."

If you were a noted top conservative columnist but fearful you might not get enough buzz about your new release because the Hamas/Israel war, Burris, Obama, Blagojevich, etc. what better way to re-emerge as a media power than lighting into a national television network when you get canceled but Perez Hilton gets to booked?

Ann Coulter IS the best selling conservative author in print. Her books are fact-checked to the tiniest detail. And the ideas she ultimately puts across are some of the most important in the debate over ideas today.

Perez Hilton on the other hand is widely known as the lowliest of internet sleaze.

All the planets aligned... Coulter got canned, Perez got booked.

Here's the problem, it was Coulter herself, and her buddy (long known to be a close friend of Coulter) Matt Drudge that made the connection between NBC canceling one and booking the other.

Only problem is... there's no proof.

Canceling Ann, as Drudge explains from unnamed sources because of Coulter's content in the book very well could be playing a big part of the picture here. But not favoritism for "The Queen of Hollywood."

It's a novel talking point to generate more controversy, and that's certainly how Ann sells books. But I'm just not convinced there's any there, there.

For my money - I'd prefer both of them to be canned and someone stick a camera on President-Elect Obama until he offers an idea on Israel...

Now THAT would be must-see TV.

N...B...C...

For some time I have been on the look out to add interesting and original voices to the debates of the day here on MuscleHeadRevolution.com. In 2008 I was honored when a very young, talented thinker named Faith Ammen took a leap of faith and decided to join the blogging team. There is no question that her take on things of interest has greatly enhanced the content of the site.

Today I am once again very pleased to introduce a new voice here on the MuscleHead pages. In the near future she will have the opportunity to tell you more about herself and where she's coming from. But she's a talented thinker, and quite often talented thinkers make the most interesting of writers. So join with me in welcoming Michele Reithmayr to the pages of the MuscleHead Revolution, because as she "muscles up the mind" and "builds up the brain" you may love to disagree with her but you will have a hard time disputing her.

Welcome Michele!
