Clear media bias: Wendy Davis and Ted Cruz

(My new American Thinker post)

We all remember how the media reacted to Texas State Senator Wendy Davis' filibuster in Texas.   

Our friends at POLITICO remember the "media bias" too:   

"When a Democrat like Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis filibusters against abortion restrictions, she is elevated to hero status, her tennis shoes become totems.  When Cruz grandstands against Obamacare, he is a laughingstock in the eyes of many journalists on Twitter, an "embarrassment" in the eyes of The New York Times editorial board."


There is another point here.  

Abortion in the 20th week was opposed by most Texans.  Nevertheless, Senator Davis was presented as a principled woman who stood up to the big boys in Austin.  Senator Davis was allowed by a very friendly media to turn the narrative from "late term abortion" to "choice." No one in the media challenged Senator Davis' false narrative. No woman in Texas was denied her "right" to an abortion.

ObamaCare is extremely unpopular.  In fact, did you see any Democrat running in a competitive election stand up for ObamaCare during the Cruz speech?  ObamaCare has been amended and changed without a congressional vote.  Why?  Because Senator Reid will lose Democrats if there is a vote in the Senate.

Cruz stands up to oppose an unpopular law and he is a "wacko bird".

Davis supports an unpopular procedure and she is treated like a modern Joan of Arc.

Media bias?  Do you need any further evidence?

Iran is not going to shake our hand because we want to shake theirs

(My new American Thinker post)

We got another taste yesterday that the world may love Obama but it does not respect him.  I don't know about you but I want our presidents respected rather than loved.  It's a safer world when they respect rather than love our president.

President Obama went to the UN assembly meeting hoping to make history by shaking hands with the Iranian moderate.  He left town without a handshake and his speech was "all mush," specially the line about the world being more stable than it was 5 years ago.

The humiliation was complete when "the Iranian moderate" refused to shake President Obama's hand:  

"For days before the U.N. conclave, White House aides had broadcast the President's desire to shake Mr. Rouhani's hand. By Monday, the press was overflowing with leaked accounts of where and how it would happen. Having thus turned down the lights and turned up the mood music, it made the snub that followed especially potent. What the Administration is trying to spin as a function of complex Iranian politics was, in blunt fact, an expression of lordly contempt for what Iranian leaders consider to be an overeager suitor from an unworthy nation."  (WSJ)

Another bad day for those who thought that Obama would change the world with a speech and a smile. 

We learned again that Iran does not like us, whether our president is a Texas Cowboy or "a self proclaimed enlightened liberal" who promised to meet unconditionally with our enemies when he was a candidate.

Again, they don't like us and have no serious desire to change their nuclear plans. Another waste of time at the UN!

My new Babalu post: “Obama que malo baila Usted”

(My new Babalu post)

Beny More would agree with me.  He'd be joining me today singing  "Obama que malo baila Usted".  What a pathetic performance by President Obama at the UN.
President Obama headed to the UN this week desperately hoping to make history.  He was determined to make something happen by shaking the hand of the new Iranian "moderate", or the new kid in town who recently posted an Op-Ed over at The Washington Post.  He left town without a handshake and his speech was "all mush", specially the line about the world being more stable than it was 5 years ago.
The humiliation was total and complete.  It  ended when "the Iranian moderate" refused to shake President Obama's hand.  Here is an account of the week's events:
"For days before the U.N. conclave, White House aides had broadcast the President's desire to shake Mr. Rouhani's hand. By Monday, the press was overflowing with leaked accounts of where and how it would happen. Having thus turned down the lights and turned up the mood music, it made the snub that followed especially potent. What the Administration is trying to spin as a function of complex Iranian politics was, in blunt fact, an expression of lordly contempt for what Iranian leaders consider to be an overeager suitor from an unworthy nation." (WSJ)

Another bad day for the "si se puede" gang who bought into the idea that Obama would change the world with a speech and a smile.
We learned again that Iran does not like us.  They don't our like our leaders, whether our president is a Texas Cowboy or "a self proclaimed enlightened liberal" who promised to meet unconditionally with our enemies when he was a candidate.
Again, they don't like us and have no serious plan to change their nuclear plans.  They are just buying time, as the leader of Israel warned us.
Another waste of time at the UN and don't forget that we pay 22% of the dues.
We repeat:  They are not going to shake our hand because we want to shake theirs!   My guess is that they are laughing in Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea.
What's next?  When will Raul Castro proclaim himself  "a moderate", write an Op-Ed and get the story going about shaking hands with President Obama?
