These are the Morning Links for August 9, 2011

The Lady’s Picks:

Megyn Kelly is back. YES!
Why I May Run For President – by John Bolton
If you think Barry hiding behind the death of 31 of our Troops from Seal Team 6 in yesterday’s presser was disgusting, read these HuffPo Comments. Liberalism is a disease. More here on Barry’s repugnant behavior.
The Tea Party is not a Pinata.
When the people get ugly and riot, the Left always blames the Right. It doesn’t matter that the Left were the ones who fed said rioters government cheese until they puked.
Secure the God Damned Border!!
The Other McCain has the latest Herman Cain Video. I like Herman, but he, like Christie, has a muslim problem that makes him a ‘No’ for me.
Allen West being awesome. Video.
Newsweek gets slapped around by NOW for Bachmann hit piece. I think Bachmann is on the same page as Palin about NOW though.
Verizon strike turns violent.
Al Gore’s Dean Scream. Audio at bottom of article. Listen to that loon.

The London Riots continue – and it’s spreading.

The BBC has stunning footage of the fires blazing there.
Link with map where riots are spreading to. Instapundit has more links.
The Blaze has more with video.
Breakdown of Monday’s Violence is here.
Telegraph UK Links has a Live Link and more are here, here, here and here.
The looters are evening robbing the injured.
One woman was filmed confronting looters.
The Mail Online has this headline: PM recalls Parliament as the police lose control of Britain’s streets.
More links from Mail Online here and here.
Hot Air has some video links as well.
The Other McCain has a couple of good links in their Live at Five.
After you’ve looked at all the London Links, now read Walter Russell Mead: The American Tinderbox. I’d bookmark that one.
Gateway Pundit snags this quote from the AP: “In America you have the Tea Party, in the UK you’ve got this.” Nice try AP, but the reason these people are using the shooting of this young man to stage massive riots is not being done by those who want reforms, it’s being done by those who are mad their entitlements are being cut back. These are people living off the government who are burning, looting and mugging. Now every Tom, Dick and Harry is piling on and you have all out chaos. This is what happens when a welfare state implodes.

Obama Hates America:

635 point loss. Barry holds presser where he was 50 minutes late, takes no responsibility, tells us the wealthy have to pay more and says he needs more time then walks out, refusing questions. Coward. Basically the same speech he’s given every week for the last two months. The Lonely Conservative was watching it tank as Obama yapped just like I was.
Soros reportedly made $10 Billion on downgrade. BECK WAS RIGHT.
Obama in Presser: It was the fault of ‘wrangling‘. Obama at Fundraiser: It’s all Bush’s fault…Europe too.
NRO: It’s laugh-out-loud funny to hear the Obama administration’s all out assault on S&P’s math skills. Related: Not So Funny – Soros Rumored To Be Investor Who Made $1 Billion On Trade U.S. Credit Rating Would Be Downgraded.
Don’t worry “The US will always be a AAA economy“, it just doesn’t have a AAA government. Yeah right. Moody’s is wagging it’s finger at us now as well.
“Over just four days, the debt had jumped $242.155 billion.” Related: White House Announces $105 Million More in Aid to Horn of Africa

Christine Romer: We’re Pretty Darn F’ked.
The Telegraph: The stunning decline of Barack Obama 2011 edition: 10 key reasons why the Obama presidency continues to melt down
Obama Approval Rating Pop Quiz.
Scariest thing I’ve heard so far during this debt debacle.
Hillary told you so: “As Democratic disgust with Obama’s debt fumbling spreads, Clinton supporters recall her ‘3 a.m. phone call’ warnings—and angry, frustrated liberals are muttering that she should mount a 2012 challenge.” Also this, ““If I heard it once this last week, I heard it a thousand times: You were duped by Obama’s rhetoric—the whole ‘hopey-changey’ thing. And you wanted to be part of history, too—to help break down the ultimate racial barrier. That’s OK. We were all young once.” My favorite: “Obama has no spine and no balls,” said a 67-year-old New Yorker. – Well, that would explain his pathetic pitching. Read the whole thing.

The ROPAT mayhem and murder roundup:

ROPAT = The Religion Of Peace And Tolerance…and a growing stack of bodies.
FL: Tampa Police crime scene tech now admits “fear of Muslim reprisal” in honor killing classified as accidental death.
GA: Fight against Mosque expansion again.
BOOKMARK ALERT – Wafa Sultan: “Moderate Islam” is a politically correct term invented by the rest – there are no radicals. The problem is Islam.

Legal Eagles:

Fast & Furious Update: DEA now linked to F & F.
WI Recalls: ‘National and state liberal groups, led primarily by public employee labor unions, have pumped well in excess of $14,000,000 into the Wisconsin state senate recall elections, six of which will take place today.’ Good. That’s $14,000,000 less that they can pump into anything else in 2012.
Issa subpoenas NLRB.
