Obama Now Morphing Into Jimmy Carter; Obama's 1st Instincts Always Wrong; Breast Implants Trump 9/11 on the "Today Show;" Health Care Costs Rise AGAIN!;

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty." JFK

• I get a sense it feels like 1979 all over again for many Americans.  In 1979, who can forget Iranian radicals who  attacked our embassy and held our diplomats hostage for 444 days until a new sheriff came into town---Ronald Reagan--- to replace the feckless Jimmy Carter. It now appears Pres. Obama is just as spineless and ineffective as Carter was when it comes to foreign relations.
• What we are seeing is what a policy of "leading from behind" leads to.
• And one has to ask another important question: what the hell is our security for American diplomats living in these bloody countries?

• And Obama's first instincts always unmask the person he really is. Once again, his administration apologized to the thugs who attacked our enemies and murdered our ambassador. Allow me to put this in perspective. Imagine thugs breaking into your home, murdering a family member and the first thing you do is apologize to the home invaders for breaking into your home. It was just last week, at the DNC Convention, when the administration's first instinct was to dis Israel yet again. And they followed that disrespect with another just yesterday by not agreeing to meet with BB Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister.

• "Those in the international community who refuse to put red lines before Iran don't have a moral right to place a red light before Israel."...Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday. He's telling us: if you don't back us, we're not waiting for Iran to annihilate us. We're going to take action to survive as a nation. That region is about to explode.

• Of course, as I've said many, many times in the last year, the Arab Spring is a myth.
• It's time---and way overdo---for America to lead. And that message should not only be for Americans and Israel, but for thug nations like Iran. This cannot be put off until election day.

• The type of leadership we need now? Look above.
• It's amazing listening to the administration and Hillary Clinton talking about "religious tolerance" when all this administration has been doing is attacking religion.
• In case you missed this news, as the nation commemorated 9/11 yesterday, NBC's "Today Show" decided to bump a moment of silence yesterday to air a segment with Kris Jenner. The topic: breast implants.
• And on the domestic front, USA TODAY reported family health plans hit $15,745.00 or an increase of 4% (total increase of 13% in just the last 2 years). So much for ObamaCare costing less.
• And Duke University reported this week that chief financial officers plan on trimming hiring and spending.
• What exactly does "Forward" mean anyway?
