Fox News reports: Some Democrats are upset and advocacy groups are outraged over the raiding of the food-stamp cupboard to fund a state-aid bailout that some call a gift to teachers and government union workers. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/08/10/democrats-advocacy-groups-blast-cuts-food-stamps-fund-m-jobs/

Politico writes: [Proving once again how kind and fair are those wonderful Democrats]: A Democratic candidate for state representative in New Hampshire, Democrat N.H. House candidate Keith Halloran, expresses, on Facebook naturally, the wish that Sarah Palin and Levi Johnston had gone down with Ted Stevens's plane. http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0810/NH_Dem_wishes_Palin_ill.html?showall

[The UK Telegraph, unafraid, writes of the stunning decline of Barack Obama:]
1) The Obama presidency is out of touch with the American people
2. Most Americans don’t have confidence in the president’s leadership
3. Obama fails to inspire
4. The United States is drowning in debt
5. Obama’s Big Government message is falling flat
6. Obama’s support for socialised health care is a huge political mistake

7. Obama’s handling of the Gulf oil spill has been weak-kneed and indecisive
8. US foreign policy is an embarrassing mess under the Obama administration
    "It is hard to think of a single foreign policy success for the Obama administration"
9. President Obama is muddled and confused on national security
10. Obama doesn’t believe in American greatness
   "Barack Obama has made it clear that he doesn’t believe in American exceptionalism, and has made apologizing for his country into an art form"  Read details at:

Also from the UK Telegraph: And you thought we’d got problems here in the UK. Have a read of this terrifying article by Professor Laurence Kotlikoff of Boston University, which using recent IMF analysis pretty convincingly demonstrates that the US is as fiscally bankrupt as a busted flush. [Snip] As Professor Kotlikoff notes, the entire Federal tax base amounts to 14.7 per cent of GDP, so to close the gap from a revenue perspective would require the authorities to double the rate of taxation in the US.  http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance/jeremywarner/100007268/why-the-us-is-as-busted-as-a-busted-flush/

Bloomberg News writes: Al-Qaeda urged soldiers to help topple the Saudi monarchy and kill Christians and government officials in the kingdom, said someone purporting to be a leader of the group in a recording. Al-Qaeda ordered supporters in the Saudi army to “collect information on everything related to the Saudi royal family” in an effort to dethrone them.  http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-08-11/al-qaeda-seeks-overthrow-of-saudi-arabia-monarchy-killing-of-christians.html  [As we keep mentioning, they want us ALL dead!]
