1. Normally we don't cover the "birther" controversy, but when career leftist Gov. Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii says in a WorldNetDaily article that he can't find Obama's birth certificate during his effort to settle the controversy once and for all, we stand up and take notice.
2. AOL's "Politics Daily" reports: "Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid branded Chinese President Hu Jintao a "dictator" on a local TV talk show on Tuesday night, a remark likely to make the start of Hu's first state visit to Washington, D.C., awkward for President Obama at a moment when the U.S. is trying to ease tensions with the Asian power."
3. President Obama takes on some protective coloration:
President Obama wants America to know he is a pro-business president.
In an op-ed in Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal, the president promised to sign an executive order to root out “dumb” and “outdated” regulations that “stifle job creation and make our economy less competitive.”
“This order requires that federal agencies ensure that regulations protect our safety, health and environment while promoting economic growth,” Obama writes. “And it orders a government-wide review of the rules already on the books to remove outdated regulations that stifle job creation and make our economy less competitive. It’s a review that will help bring order to regulations that have become a patchwork of overlapping rules, the result of tinkering by administrations and legislators of both parties and the influence of special interests in Washington over decades.”
Still, he made sure to note that this doesn’t erase the need for new regulations....
