Videos: Japan Tsunami Footage

Words like 'apocaleptic' are being used to describe the devastation in Japan as a result of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami. These videos only serve to reinforce such descriptions. Remember, in addition to these towns literally being washed away, at least one nuclear reactor is in danger of a meltdown.

Obama's Envy for China Revealed

We didn't really need more evidence that Obama reveres communist China after the Oba-Mao t-shirts, the Mao Christmas tree ornaments, the words of Anita Dunn, Ron Bloom, Van Jones, and countless others. Nonetheless, we have yet another reason for Obama's envy of China; it has to do with how Hu Jintao is able to deal with dissent.

Via the Weekly Standard, the New York Times reported the following:

“Mr. Obama has told people that it would be so much easier to be the president of China. As one official put it, ‘No one is scrutinizing Hu Jintao’s words in Tahrir Square.’”

Obama has put a whole new spin on that old 'Grass is greener on the other side allegory.'

Unfortunately, it involves shutting people up with force that you don't agree with.
