Patterico has a rundown on the BS copyright claim.
This reporter was OK with President Bush being equated to a fascist 3 years ago.

Voices From Around The World The Media Missed

When George W. Bush or his administration visited a foreign country, the news feeds were flooded with pictures and articles regarding the Anti-Bush protests and other similar stories to create a feeling that there was an Anti-Americanism being fanned across the World because of Bush’s policies.
Although there might be a valid argument for that point-of-view (one I cannot verify or reject insofar that I must rely on the news), the way that the mainstream media handles Obama and his administration’s visits to foreign nations (and in general) evidences the media bias, and the power the media has to shape the story, and thus the public’s response, and therefore the future. The election of President Barack Hussein Obama made that very evident.
Below are pictures from Obama’s trip across the world, and those of his administration that you wouldn’t have seen otherwise. (place cursor over picture for description)

The John Galt Effect.

A hidden effect of the November 4 elections and the national events that preceded them during this past year is perhaps best called the “John Galt Effect” in honor of Ayn Rand’s famous character in Atlas Shrugged. It is occurring to a very significant extent.
Our technological civilization stands upon the shoulders of many generations of free Americans and the great accomplishments that they bequeathed to us. Among those Americans and their counterparts in other countries have been a small special group of people whose unusual genius, work ethic, and love for their specialties were especially outstanding. These men, by their examples, their creations, and their leadership of free enterprises, have led our civilization upward. One of the greatest privileges of my life has been to know a few such people.
Without this small group of people, the technological attainments of their generations would not have taken place. We know the names of a few of them, but there were many more — constituting perhaps one person in a thousand. Ayn Rand called these people the “men of the mind.” In Atlas Shrugged, under the leadership of John Galt, they withdrew their services. They would only work in freedom. They would not work under tyranny.

Can We get a “Reset” button?

The first gaffe this week is when Pres. Obama was just plain rude to the British Prime Minister on his first visit to the White House, but what else can we expect from an elitist pompous ass Donkey.
Next is Hillary’s and the US state departments gaffe. Hillary was in Russia today and gave a gift to Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The intent was a joke and a big dig at the Bush administration, but the joke was only on Hillary and the US state department.
The gift was a red button that was to read “reset” (peregruzka) in Russian. Hillary explained that they tried really hard to get the word correct and asked if they did.
The Prime Minister replied, you got it wrong! Instead of the word “reset”, Sergei Lavrov explained the word on the button meant “overcharge”!
The good news, Jimmy Cater is no longer the worst President the US has ever had.
