Some Links from Jennifer Rubin, Andrew McCarthy, & Karl Rove

I always enjoy reading Jennifer Rubin's Right Turn blog on The Washington Post's website, but today she made a couple of exceptionally good posts.  One highlights the media's pathetic inability to distinguish important news stories from unimportant news stories, and the other has some interesting excerpts from Mitt Romney's recent stump speech in Pennsylvania which has been getting a lot of favorable attention from conservatives for its passion and substance.

Another interesting article is by Andrew McCarthy of National Review, which summarizes Obama's repeated disrespect for our constitutional system, laments the weakness of Republicans in Congress in challenging his lawless behavior, and warns against a likely attempt by Obama to circumvent Congress with regard to closing Guantanamo Bay after the election. 

Finally, Karl Rove provides a great summary of Obama's lies, distortions, and hypocritical claims directed against Romney on the campaign trail lately.  I am glad to see that Romney is starting to hit back, hard.  He certainly doesn't lack for legitimate policy issues to attack Obama on.  He should take the gloves off and keep them off until after the election.

And by the way, I think Romney should give this response every time the media or the Obama team asks him why he won't release his old tax returns: "I promise to release all my old tax returns to the public as soon as Obama agrees to release all the information requested by Congress relating to the Fast & Furious operation."
