Morning Coffee Reading for August 11, 2011

Here's your morning coffee reading for today:

• An excellent New York Post column by Kurt Schlichter regarding the announced 2012 film focusing on the raid by the Navy SEALs who successfully killed Osama bin Laden:

• Looks like the Sunshine State isn't so sunny for Obama:

Real Clear Politics | Obama Faces Headwinds in Florida

• Florida Senate candidate Adam Hasner signed a term limits pledge to only serve two terms in the Senate if he's elected (he actually made this pledge at the beginning of his campaign):

• Here's a brutal analysis of the federal budget by @alexkauff, which puts the debt ceiling debate in perspective:

• Republican Congressional candidate Karen Harrington isn't pulling any punches as she sets her sights for Debbie Wasserman Schultz:

NewsMax | Harrington: Wasserman Schultz Anti-GOP Charges 'Absurd'

• New York Times' op-ed columnist Thomas Friedman wrote an unbelievably arrogant and misguided article on the debt ceiling issue. Seriously. It starts out with "Until you read the following news article, we'll be stuck in a world of hurt" and gets worse from there. First of all, this isn't a "news article," it is an opinion piece. Friedman then wanders into a wacky little fantasy world governed by the standard liberal talking points..it's seriously such a mess, you really ought to read it (and then enjoy the giggles at @greggutfeld's post on this article).
