It is good to know that Obama's science team is conducting oversight on the pressure testing of the blown out well. Its good to know Kenny is overseeing Obama and his team. I am confident that if Obama slips up, Kenny will be reporting it here ASAP.

Soros-funded group wants feds to probe talk radio Says cable-news networks engaged in 'hate speech' July 18, 2010 By Aaron Klein © 2010 WorldNetDaily wnd.com A George Soros-funded, Marxist-founded organization with close ties to the White House has urged the Federal Communications Commission to investigate talk radio and cable news for "hate speech." The organization, calling itself Free Press, claims media companies are engaging in "hate speech" because a disproportionate number of radio and cable-news networks are owned by non-minorities. WND previously reported Free Press published a study advocating the development of a "world class" government-run media system in the U.S. Free Press was one of 33 organizations that drafted a 25-page petition asking the FCC to "initiate an inquiry into the extent and effects of hate speech in media and to explore non-regulatory means by which to mitigate its negative impacts." "Hate speech thrives, as hate has developed as a profit-model for syndicated radio and cable-television programs masquerading as 'News,'" claims the petition. The petition contends "traditional media" have "largely failed" to "provide the accurate information needed for an informed democracy." "These failures often damage communities of color at disproportionate rates," the petition states. The paper singles out talk radio as "particularly problematic." "Hate has seemingly emerged as a profit-model for many radio programs syndicated throughout the country, because only a few companies own the majority of the radio stations nationally." The paper claims a disproportionate number of media companies are owned by non-minorities, causing "hate speech" to fester. "The media has a history of unequal representation of and discrimination against people of color, and rapid media consolidation has exacerbated the situation. In this climate of inaccurate and apathetic reporting and underrepresentation of people of color in traditional media, hate has festered and grown." Avowed Marxist, close ties to White House The petition states it is not asking the FCC to impose any sort of content regulations pertaining to so-called hate speech in the media. "Rather [we] respectfully request that the Commission initiate an inquiry into the extent and effects of hate speech in media and to explore non-regulatory means by which to mitigate its negative impacts." However, WND previously reported Free Press published a study advocating the development of a "world class" government-run media system in the U.S. Free Press is a well-known advocate of government intervention in the Internet. The founder of Free Press, Robert W. McChesney, is an avowed Marxist who has recommended capitalism be dismantled. McChesney is a professor at the University of Illinois and former editor of the Marxist journal Monthly Review. In February 2009, McChesney recommended capitalism be dismantled. "In the end, there is no real answer but to remove brick-by-brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles,'" wrote McChesney in a column. In May, WND reported Free Press Policy Director Ben Scott was named a policy adviser for innovation at the State Department. The board of Free Press, meanwhile, has included a slew of radicals, such as Obama's former "green jobs" czar" Van Jones, who resigned after his founding of a communist organization was exposed. Obama's "Internet czar," Susan P. Crawford, spoke at a Free Press May 14, 2009, "Changing Media" summit in Washington, D.C., revealed the book "The Manchurian President". Crawford's pet project, OneWebNow, lists as "participating organizations" Free Press and the controversial Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. Crawford and Kevin Werbach, who co-directed the Obama transition team's Federal Communications Commission Review team, are advisory board members at Public Knowledge, a George-Soros-funded public-interest group. A Public Knowledge advisory board member is Timothy Wu, who is also chairman of the board for Free Press. Like Public Knowledge, Free Press also has received funds from Soros' Open Society Institute.

Kenneth, I see that the democrats choice for the US Senate is campaigning. Democrat Alvin Greene delivered his first campaign speech at a meeting of the NAACP branch in his hometown of Manning. During the nearly 7-minute-long speech, Greene touched on job creation, clean energy, better schools and expanding water and sewer to rural communities. "Let's get South Carolina and American back to work," Greene said. "Let's move South Carolina and America forward, getting back to work from Alvin, S.C., to Greenville, S.C. Let's reclaim our country from the terrorists and communists." Greene pointed to many statistics during his speech but did not, however, offer any specifics on how he would accomplish the improvements he recommends. "We have more unemployed now in South Carolina than any other time in our state's history," Greene said. "We see record high cuts in education spending, even though South Carolina is ranked 49th in education. South Carolina ranks 49th in standardized test scores and we have the highest high school dropout rate in the country. We spend more than two times of our taxpaying dollar on inmates than students." The speech turned a bit personal when Greene, who is facing a felony charge of showing obscene Internet photos to a University of South Carolina student, talked about fairness in the justice system. "We need justice in the judicial system," Greene said. "The punishment should fit the crime. Fairness saves us money. First time non-violent offenders should be granted pre-trial intervention." The unemployed Army veteran stunned many when he beat longtime politician Vic Rawls to win the Democratic nomination in June's primary. "I am the best candidate in the United States Senate race here in South Carolina," Greene said. "I am also the best choice for the Image Award next year. Greene will face Republican incumbent Jim DeMint in the November race.

On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Mr. Gibbs was asked if Democrats could lose the House in the fall mid-term elections. “There’s no doubt there are enough seats in play that could cause Republicans to gain control,” Mr. Gibbs answered. With that, the noise machine cranked into high gear. The White House had admitted it might lose the House. Never mind that it was a simple statement of fact and that Mr. Gibbs was not saying he wanted the other side to win or thought that they would. No one has found the political professional who genuinely disagrees that the House could go either way. But the mere fact that Mr. Gibbs said it launched a thousand ships of speculation, analysis, attacks and counter-attacks. “They’re trying to distance idiotObama from it,” Dick Morris said on Fox News.

Stocks appeared to lose some of their ground after disappointing numbers on housing suggested sentiment in that key sector is beginning to wane. The National Association of Home Builders said its July sentiment index came in at 14, lower than a revised figure of 16 in June, and below economists' expectations of 16. "I think it's generally accepted right now that without employment, housing is going to kind of butterfly back and forth," said J.J. Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist for TD Ameritrade. "Without unemployment under 9%, the housing market is not going to meaningfully recover." Mr. Kinahan said the numbers' impact was muted by two other updates expected this week from the housing market, as well as a spate of closely-watched corporate earnings. "We've got Apple, Goldman and IBM this week," he said. " Unless the housing numbers are really, really off the beaten path, I think the market is going to discount it immediately."
