Is Obama the Way?

Via RedState. Pastel Barack. Is Obama the way, the truth and the light? (Why can't he knock out Hillary?)

And Tom Mannis, The Bench, great insight on listening to the police scanner, crime in Chicago and Obama's failure to lead.

Elizabeth Wright on the double standard among Dems on race.

UPDATE: Can he save us?

As we content ourselves with the fallacy that never again shall we have to fight large, technological opponents, China is transforming its forces into a full-spectrum military capable of major operations and remote power projection. Eventually the twain shall meet. By the same token, our sharp nuclear reductions and China's acquisitions of ballistic-missile submarines and multiple-warhead mobile missiles will eventually come level. The China that has threatened to turn Los Angeles to cinder is arguably more cavalier about nuclear weapons than are we, and may find parity a stimulus to brinkmanship. Who will blink first, a Barack Obama (who even now blinks like Betty Boop) or a Hu Jintao?

Will liberals sacrifice LA?
