Dems Threaten Nelson In Pursuit of 60
While the Democrats appease Senator Lieberman, they still have to worry about other recalcitrant Democrats including Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson. Though Lieberman has been out front in the fight against the public option and the Medicare buy-in, Nelson was critical of both. Now that those provisions appear to have been stripped from the bill, Lieberman may get on board, but Nelson's demand that taxpayer money not be used to fund abortion has still not been met. According to a Senate aide, the White House is now threatening to put Nebraska's Offutt Air Force Base on the BRAC list if Nelson doesn't fall into line.
Offutt Air Force Base employs some 10,000 military and federal employees in Southeastern Nebraska. As our source put it, this is a "naked effort by Rahm Emanuel and the White House to extort Nelson's vote." They are "threatening to close a base vital to national security for what?" asked the Senate staffer.
Indeed, Offutt is the headquarters for US Strategic Command, the successor to Strategic Air Command, and not by accident. STRATCOM was located in the middle of the country for strategic reasons. Its closure would be a massive blow to the economy of the state of Nebraska, but it would also be another example of this administration playing politics with our national security.

Is President Obama a “foreign and domestic enemy” of America and its citizens?
by Mark Epstein, 15Aug09
The administration’s approach to internal dissent coupled with a foreign policy embracing the leadership tactics of the terroristic and oppressive regimes of our sworn enemies (i.e., the “Death to America” crowd) is alarming. If we are to objectively analyze the totality of Obama’s actions, then we cannot disassociate the president’s foreign and domestic policies revealing his behavior toward the American people and our enemies — including continuing to lump in close to 12 million illegal non-Americans in his “46 million uninsured Americans” figure. Moreover, we cannot ignore the “top cover” the mainstream media provides the president, as it invents distractions to avoid real discussion of substantive issues germane to the overall debate of Obama’s domestic and foreign agendas.
To begin the analysis of Obama as a constitutionally-defined “foreign enemy” of the United States, we can ask a few simple questions. If your health care plan doesn’t include providing illegal aliens health coverage, then why does the number of uninsured still include them? Since we know that not all illegal aliens are Mexicans working in various low-paying jobs Americans supposedly do not want, then how will the plan distinguish between a Mexican residing in the US illegally from a terrorist who merely used a student visa to gain access to American soil? If the Taliban are not terrorists, then why are we prosecuting a war in Afghanistan? What’s the threat to our country? How can you reasonablly equate Palestinian terrorists who vow another country’s total destruction and the genocide of its people with the only democracy in the Middle East? Why do your public policies and public actions (behavior) embrace totalitarian regimes and why does your administration’s policies toward dissenters to Obamacare resemble the behavior of said totalitarian regimes?
Although the evidence may still be inconclusive as to whether the president is a “foreign enemy” of the United States, it is time to begin asking the question — without any reference to a birth certificate.
