An estimated 1 million Syrians took to the streets Friday to press for the ouster of President Bashar Assad, whose use of force and offers of dialogue have failed to stop a four-month revolt. At least 32 protesters were killed around the country, including more than 20 in the capital of Damascus. In a significant show of the uprising's strength, thousands of demonstrators turned out in Damascus, which had seen only scattered protests. Until now, much of the dissent against Assad has been in impoverished, remote areas. "This is the heart of the regime," David Schenker, director of the Program on Arab Politics at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told The Associated Press. "So I think if these protests (in Damascus) continue and gain strength, it will be the beginning of the end of the regime. " Thousands of protesters in the city of Hama chanted, “The people want to bring the regime down,” according to footage aired by Al-Jazeera television.

Lieberman: Medicare Will Go Broke and ‘Take Our Government Down With It’ (CNSNews.com) – When unveiling a proposal to reform Medicare alongside Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), Senator Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) warned that the entitlement program will eventually “go broke” and lead to a “fiscal disaster” for the United States.
“Each Medicare enrollee will on the average take almost three times more out in Medicare benefits than they contribute in payroll taxes and premiums,” Lieberman said during a press conference at the Capitol on Tuesday. “That’s why we say that the status quo of Medicare is unsustainable. And what we mean is that if we do nothing, Medicare will go broke and take our government down with it.” Senators Coburn and Lieberman claim their proposal would save more than $600 billion over 10 years and reduce Medicare’s 75-year unfunded liabilities by about $10 trillion.
Their plan also would require wealthier Americans to pay for more of their Medicare benefits out of pocket. Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Sen. Sen. “Medicare has to be fixed. President Hosted Unscheduled ‘DNC Event’ at White House, Visitor Logs Reveal. President Barack Obama. (AP Photo) (CNSNews.com) – According to White House visitor logs, President Barack Obama hosted a “DNC event” in the White House on Feb. 25, a Democratic National Committee event that was not on the schedule for that day. The logs list 16 people, all of whom arrived between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on the afternoon of Feb. 25 for a “DNC Event” held on the State Floor of the White House, a room where foreign dignitaries are entertained. The logs did not list in which room on that floor the event was held. The logs also confirm that each of the 16 guests were to meet with President Obama, using the acronym “POTUS,” or President of the United States. The event was not on the official schedule for that day and appears to have been impromptu, with the logs indicating that the guests scheduled the meetings with the president individually, often minutes before they arrived at the White House.

Janet Napolitano, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, told Sen. Cornyn at the congressional hearing that she didn't think it was the proper place to discuss “details” of the legislation. (CNSNews.com/Penny Starr) (CNSNews.com) – Asked on Tuesday by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) whether the Obama administration would consider amendments to the DREAM Act making illegal aliens ineligible for an amnesty if they were convicted of certain misdemeanors such as drunken driving, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano would not say. “Let me ask, do you support the bill are currently written?” Cornyn asked Napolitano. “I do,” Napolitano said. “And you speak on behalf of the administration, correct?” Napolitano said the administration would be willing to look at amendments offered.
Cornyn then asked the secretary how she would use her authority to waive provisions in the law--specifically if she would consider waiving requirements for someone who has been convicted of voter fraud. Sen. 'Thou Shalt Not Steal': Durbin Concedes 10 Commandments is Perfect Law--In Push for Amnesty. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) reintroduced the DREAM Act in May and held a hearing on June 28, 2011 on the legislation. He invited a number of young illegal aliens to attend the hearings and to be introduced.
(CNSNews.com/Penny Starr) (CNSNews.com) – In response to Republican criticism of the DREAM Act, Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin (Ill.) invoked Moses and the Ten Commandments: "To my knowledge, the only perfect law ever written was on stone tablets and carried down a mountain by Senator Moses," he said. Durbin made the remark on Tuesday at a hearing of the Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security. “Under this version of the Dream Act, a 35-year-old illegal immigrant who’s been convicted of two misdemeanors would be eligible for a green card,” Cornyn said. That's when Durbin (D-Ill.), who reintroduced the legislation, made his comment about the Ten Commandments.
Sen. Durbin invited a large group of young illegal aliens to attend the hearing. Sen. Rubin Reports » Obama Extends Hand; America’s Enemies Extend Fist. There’s a remarkable exchange from a May 2009 presidential press conference that is extraordinarily revealing. Question: “Aren’t you concerned that your outstretched hand has been interpreted by extremists, especially [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad, [Hizballah leader] Nasrallah, [Hamas leader] Meshal, as weakness?” PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, it’s not clear to me why my outstretched hand would be interpreted as weakness. Yes, that’s the problem, isn’t it? I have often written that Obama does not accept the most basic principles of international relations.
Why should he know any better since he lacks any experience while the advisors he most depends on usually also lack experience? (If you say that Obama is doing it on purpose, I would suggest that if that were true he’d be doing a better and less obviously incompetent job than he’s doing now.). I think the above sentence from him is pretty sincere. That commonality doesn’t apply across certain cultural-intellectual-historical lines. UncommonKnowledge.
