President Obama - First thoughts about

President Obama is expressing guarded optimism about the Taliban's announcement today that it will sit down for direct peace talks with U.S. and Afghanistan officials: is an important first step towards reconciliation, although it is a very early step," Obama said.

Is President Obama being "transparent" as he claimed he would be? He says, "yes." "President Obama is defending National Security Agency surveillance programs, and disputing the notion that he is following in the footsteps of George W. Bush and *** Cheney. In a PBS interview with Charlie Rose, Obama said efforts to track terrorists through phone and Internet surveillance have safeguards to prevent abusing the civil liberties of innocent Americans. Obama cited both congressional and judicial oversight. When Rose asked, 'should this be transparent in some way?' Obama responded: 'It is transparent. That's why we set up the FISA court.' Critics note that this court -- created through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act -- issues rulings in secret." -Article Source: Do you agree, moms?

The original sponsor of this legislation had this to say about the PRISM program, even at that Obama in all his arrogance and lies attempts to blame Bush once again. Representative Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI), principal sponsor of the Patriot Act June 9, "This is well beyond what the Patriot Act allows."[51] "President Obama's claim that 'this is the most transparent administration in history' has once again proven false. In fact, it appears that no administration has ever peered more closely or intimately into the lives of innocent Americans."

The fact that they have insulted every nation in the world, seems to be beyond them. As ususal it is only when their own criminality coes home to roost that there are objections. " The exposure of the Obama regime’s use of the National Security Agency to secretly spy on the communications of hundreds of millions of US and overseas citizens has provoked world-wide denunciations. In the United States, despite widespread mass media coverage and the opposition of civil liberties organizations, there has not been any mass protest. Congressional leaders from both the Republican and Democratic Parties, as well as top judges, approved of the unprecedented domestic spy program.. Even worse, when the pervasive spy operations were revealed, top Senate and Congressional leaders repeated their endorsement of each and every intrusion into all electronic and written communication involving American citizens. President Obama and his Attorney General Holder openly and forcefully defended the NSA’s the universal spy op ...

Appearing on TruNews talk radio this week, Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) agreed with host Rick Wiles that Congress ought to revisit questions about the validity of President Obama's birth certificate in light of the recent scandals involving the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Justice.

- Music legend unloads on Obama's 'cowardice' 'You're not leading the country, you're misleading the country' - Country-music legend Charlie Daniels isn't buying the White House line that President Obama simply "didn't know" about the scan...dalous actions plaguing his administration. From the gun-running "Fast & Furious" debacle of 2011 to recent revelations the Internal Revenue Service has been targeting tea-party groups, Obama has denied knowledge of his underlings' actions, even stating he only discovered the improprieties after the evening news reported them. Order a copy of "Behold a Pale Horse" at WND's Superstore. But in an exclusive interview with WND, the ever-outspoken Daniels blasted the president's "excuses." "If I had a drunk bus driver, for instance, and I told everybody, 'Don't tell me about that, I don't want to know about it,' and that way if we get sued I can say, 'I didn't know it,' basically that's got to be what's happened," Daniels said. "[But] when you hide behind plausible deniabi ...

Countercurrents News Letter 18 June Snowden Issues Defiant Response To Government Threats And Media Lies By Eric London Edward Snowden spoke publicly yesterday for the first time in a week and issued a defiant response to denunciations of his actions by both corporate-controlled parties in the US. He declared, “All I can say right now is the US government is not going to be able to cover this up by jailing or murdering me. Truth is coming and it cannot be stopped.” The Deeper Meaning Of Mass Spying In America By James Petras as President Obama and his Democratic and Republican partners boast and bluster about their police state and its effective “security function”, the vast majority of Americans are becoming aware that fear instilled at home serves the interest of waging imperial wars abroad; that cowardice in the face of police state threats only encourages further cuts in their living standards. When will they learn that exposing spying is only the beginning of a solution? When will they recogn ...

Michelle's Next Trip: Most Expensive Trip in World History 06/17/13 The Obamas are planning to go to Africa this month. Turns out it is going to be the most expensive trip in world history and that is after they canceled a very expensive safari they planned. Michelle already ran up a bill the last time she went to Africa, they know no bounds. I guess they finally realized how bad that looked. Of course not enough to cancel the trip altogether. $100M to go to Africa. What happened to the sequester, I thought we were trying to save money? Why doesn't he go to Africa after his term is over so it won't cost as much money? Washington Post: When President Obama makes his first extended trip to sub-Saharan Africa this month, the federal agencies charged with keeping him safe won’t be taking any chances. Hundreds of U.S. Secret Service agents will be dispatched to secure facilities in Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania. A Navy aircraft carrier or amphibious ship, with a fully staffed medical trauma center, will ...

I would like to thank President Obama for helping me become poor!!! I never knew how rich I was until I realized I can afford to pay for the "free health care" thank you Mr. President because of you I have something to look forward to. Work 7 days a week and pay for the medical bills. Who needs to eat nowadays? On the other note I strongly consider being fired and stay on wealth fare and Medicaid (the new Centurion American Express for Health Care) and I get free housing!!! Who needs to work and government pays for all!!!

ohn R. Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, weighed in on Tuesday morning on the obviously uncomfortable get-together of President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin, characterizing the attempt to find common ground on Syria a pure waste of time.

PROGRESS REPORT ON THE PRESIDENT’S EXECUTIVE ACTIONS TO REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE “This effort is not over. I want to make it clear to the American people we can still bring about meaningful changes that reduce gun violence… Even without Congress, my Administration will keep doing everything it can to protect more of our communities.” —President Barack Obama, April 17, 2013 We Have Completed or Made Significant Progress on 21 of the 23 Executive Actions and We Are on Track to Finish the Job Although a minority of the Senate voted down common-sense legislation to reduce gun violence, President Obama is continuing to make progress. When the President unveiled his plan to reduce gun violence on January 16th, it included 23 executive actions to make sure the Administration was taking essential and rapid steps to reduce gun violence and to save lives. As this report demonstrates, the Administration has completed or made significant progress on 21 of 23 executive actions. These steps—ranging from ending t ...

From Greg Abbott Your Liberty -- as a United States citizen -- was weakened and threatened yesterday when the Obama Administration helped the United Nations pass the Arms Trade Treaty. Immediately after this disappointing vote, I wrote a letter to President Obama urging him not to sign the treaty.If the President signs the treaty allowing the UN to be involved in regulating firearms in the U.S., Texas will lead the charge to have the treaty overturned in court as a violation of the U.S. Constitution. I need your support. Please help us get the word out by referring 3 of your friends right now , and forwarding this email to 5 of your friends Together, we can make a difference. America is exceptional in part because our Constitution safeguards our individual liberties – including the right to keep and bear arms enshrined in the Second Amendment. The new UN treaty threatens your rights: • it doesn't recognize the individual right to keep and bear arms or the fundamental right to defend yourself ...

When we get 100,000,000, that's one hundred million willing Christians to BOND together, voice their concerns and vote, we can take back America with God's help, Become one of the One hundred million, then let’s get 200 million.

President Obama and his family are preparing for a trip to a place that might not be as hot as Washington is for him these days. He’s heading to sub-Saharan Africa. It’s a combination state visit and sight-seeing trip to Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania. The security is a massive undertaking. The Washington Post obtained an internal planning document showing that it will require hundreds of Secret Service agents, a Navy ship with fully-staffed hospital standing by at all times, 24-hour fly-overs by fighter jets to protect his air space, and 56 vehicles flown in by military cargo planes, including 14 limousines and three trucks loaded with sheets of bulletproof glass to cover the windows of the first family’s hotels. Estimated cost: between 60 and 100 million dollars. That’s actually in line with previous tours of Africa taken by Clinton and Bush. The big difference is that while they were gone, the White House wasn’t shut down because we didn’t even have the money to keep the building tours ...

Even minority-owned businesses should be up in arms over this one. Banning Background Checks The EEOC says that screening for felonies is discriminatory. Are criminal background checks racist? That's the startling new legal theory that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission unveiled this week in lawsuits against employers. It's another example of how President Obama's appointees are using regulation to achieve policy goals they can't get through Congress. On Tuesday the EEOC accused retailer Dollar General and a U.S. unit of German car maker BMW of violating the 1964 Civil Rights Act by using criminal checks as part of their employment decisions. The logic? Blacks have higher conviction rates than whites, and therefore criminal checks discriminate against blacks. The EEOC alleges that BMW discriminated against blacks because it screened contractors in South Carolina for convictions for "Murder, Assault & Battery, Rape, Child Abuse, Spousal Abuse (Domestic Violence), Manufacturing of Drugs, Distributi ...

Now that the proverbial ‘cat is fully out of the bag’ concerning the NSA’s and its enablers’ massive violation of the constitutional rights of American citizens, the ‘establishment rats’ in Washington, D.C., predictably were sent scurrying to try to cover up their ‘NSA rat hole,’ by vilifying and then calling for the criminal prosecution of whistleblower Edward Snowden. Many of these rabid rats are of Democrat and Republican persuasions; they are the government officials, congressmen and senators who all collaborated to put the NSA’s illegal ‘Big Brother’ data mining of cell and internet providers communications networks secretly into effect. They also consist of the pro-Obama prime time talk show hosts of MSNBC, and Jeffrey Toobin, the legal analyst who also ran interference for the criminally minded Clintons during the late 1990s. These media apologists have miraculously developed a new found concern for national security – having conveniently ‘overlooked’ President Obama and ...

We used to have an independent prosecutor statute to investigate political corruption in the executive branch and the various other government agencies, which expired under this administration. Now the only way we can get an independent prosecutor appointed is if the scandal ridden Attorney General, Eric Holder, appoints one. This means that the Obama administration will stone wall until President Obama's term is up and this is why no one will be held accountable under this administration. Also, there has been a lot of talk about NSA leaker Edward Snowden and how he could have leaked his information under the whistle blower's act. Well it turns out that intelligence agents are no longer covered by the whistle blower's act so they have no government protection or statute covering them if they "blow the whistle." This was another statute that expired under this administration. Isn't that interesting.

Good Morning! I slept for 12 hours last night. I am now drinking a quadruple latte...soon I will feel amazing. Or hyperactive. Or a little crazy. Hey, it'll fit in with today's news. A guy on a plane to Hong Kong screamed, “I’m dead,” 23 times. Passengers subdued him. Two California teens who stranded themselves atop a windy, 8,600-foot-high cliff -- they had to be rescued by helicopter. I could on with the kooky, but I'll switch gears now. President Obama says he's "no *** Cheney," and America is not listening to your phone calls. At 10 AM ES US forces will no longer handle security duties in Afghanistan. The end of the war nearly there for US troops. Should English be required to get a green card? For citizenship? We'll get into that. And Superman! It's a hit movie and now a tool to get people to go to church. Don't laugh. Superman is...Jesus??? We'll discuss. See you at 9 and 10 AM ES.

Perhaps a suddenly firearm-friendly President Obama can put in a good word for Jared Marcum. In April, Marcum, an eighth-grader at Logan Middle School in Logan, W. Va., was arrested when he refused to take off his NRA t-shirt. The New York Daily News reports: The clothing kerfuffle began when Marcum...

We took down an earlier graphic that was misconstrued as promoting the false narrative that Pres. Clinton and Pres. Obama acted/act like Republican presidents. You can trust that Occupy Democrats doesn't believe that, especially not about President Obama, who is a wonderful leader that is very progressive and fighting each and every day to implement incremental change and move our country FORWARD in the face of unprecedented establishment and Republican obstructionism. We were trying to make a larger point about the fact that Washington's political paradigm has shifted so far to the right, their policies are actually considered Republican by our corporatist mainstream media. In the future, we will be more careful with the wording of our message :)

2013 is the first Air Force graduation on record that has occurred under a Sequester created by a non functioning Congress and an unyielding Obama Administration. Due to operating under this Sequester the ceremonies proceeded as follows: President Obama regretfully declined the kind invitation of the Commandant of the Air Force Academy to be speak to the graduates and their families on the occasion of their graduation saying he was committed to addressing the graduates at West Point. Instead it was established that Vice President Biden was free and he would come to Colorado Springs. And, as to the request for the usual fly-over by the US Air Force Thunderbirds that was declined again due to the Sequester. After consultation with his chain of command the Commandant of the Air Force Academy notified the White House that due to the Sequester cancelling the traditional fly-over of the Thunderbirds that he was confident that the nation didn't need the added $1 million + expense to fly Air Force 2, of ...

I Know Nothing..Said Everyone Mike Huckabee: On “Hogan’s Heroes,” Sgt. Schultz was famous for saying, “I know NOTH-ing!” I’m starting to think that should replace “In God We Trust” as the motto of our federal government. Our current leaders seem to have the same excuse for every scandal: cluelessness. Last week, FBI Director Robert Mueller was grilled by Congress about some of the recent scandals. Like Attorney General Eric Holder before him, or President Obama, who only knows what he reads in the papers, Mueller claimed to know nothing. For instance, who’s in charge of the investigation into the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups? He had no idea. Obama vowed to get to the bottom of it, but the victims claim nobody’s even contacted them to get their side of the story. So either Mr. Muelller has no idea who’s in charge of his own agency’s most important current investigation, or maybe there is no investigation and they’re hoping this will all blow over once vacation season arrives. ...

Dear Miguel, Ding! Ding! After the defeat of his latest gun-control scheme, President Obama declared that this year’s Congressional battles are just “Round One.” For probably the first time in my life, I agree with Obama. This is only the first round of a very long war. Now it’s time to start preparing for Round Two! You see, in between his crackdowns on individual liberties as mayor of New York City, billionaire Michael Bloomberg is preparing to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars into the mid-term elections. And leaders of the Gun Control Lobby are lining up at the Bloomberg ATM to defeat our Second Amendment heroes in Congress. From Sarah Brady to MoveOn.org to the President’s own radical “Organization for Action” activist army, gun grabbers are pledging their allegiance to Bloomberg’s dream of a radical revolution in Washington. That’s why I started the National Association for Gun Rights PAC to not only battle the gun-grabbers in the Capitol, but on the campaign trail as well. B ...

Oxfam charity volunteers wear masks depicting G-8 leaders President Obama and German Chancellor Merkel around a large caldron to draw attention to the issue of world hunger in Northern Ireland on Sunday. G-8 leaders are gathering there for an annual summit.

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said that President Obama inherited an annual deficit of $1.3 trillion from the Bush Administration. Since Obama has taken office, the deficit has declined from the $1.3 trillion annual deficit he inherited from Bush in 2009 to $642 billion in 2013. (What this means is that Obama has kept his campaign promise to cut the deficit in half.) The budget deficit has declined from 10% of GDP when Obama took office, to 4% of GDP in 2013. That is the biggest decline in the deficit since the country demobilized in the late 1940s after World War II. The CBO is projecting that the deficit will further decline to 2% of GDP by 2015. Most economists say that a deficit amounting to 2% of GDP is sustainable. ~ Dennis Crawford

WASHINGTON -- President Obama's immigration enforcement director announced his resignation early Monday, ending a four-year tenure that saw a dramatic shift in how the federal government pursues and deports

Flip me we have had such a busy day - I have hardly had time to bless myself (I don't know what that means but mum says it all the time) Mum announced this morning that the house was a 'tip' and every human bean had to help clean up - this is because my granny and granda beans were coming for dinner! So it was a whole holy show with them all cleaning and tidying - it's not good for dogs when they are at this because we get shuffled from pillar to post and it is difficult to get our 18 hours sleep!! Mind you it was worth it because they had a bar-b-que and there was millions of stuff left over for us :-) The only trouble is Lucy has had far too much to eat and we think her *** is in danger of exploring. Dad said we really need an air raid shelter and gas masks for times like this! All that cleaning today and now the house smells like a farm :-)) Oh I nearly forgot - President Obama (the boss of America) was here today. We all watched him on tele this morning - he didn't come to my house which is a pi ...

Presidents Obama and Putin share icy encounter over Syria BY KATHLEEN HENNESSEY June 17, 2013, 8:27 p.m. ENNISKILLEN, Northern Ireland --Sharp divisions over the civil war in Syria led to an icy encounter Monday between President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom U.S. officials view as a major hurdle in their drive to force Syrian President Bashar Assad from power. The two leaders held their first face-to-face meeting in a year at the summit of the world’s richest countries days after Obama deepened U.S. involvement in the Syrian conflict. Aides said the CIA would begin supplying arms and ammunition to some opposition forces in hopes of shifting the military balance away from Assad. In comments to reporters, Obama and Putin expressed support for still-unscheduled Syrian peace negotiations in Geneva, but offered no sign of progress in ending a war that has killed at least 93,000 people. Russia, Syria's most powerful ally, has sent weapons to Assad's forces and is considering deliveries of ...

The Taqiyya Imam 9/11 MOSQUE IMAM BOASTS: 'Obama's historic speech in Egypt came from me' In previous reports researched by the Walid Shoebat Foundation, it was revealed that Imam Rauf has made statements in the Arabic language - while appearing on Arabic media outlets - that completely contradict his moderate tone when speaking english, exposing him as a direct supporter of terrorism, both financially and verbally. NOW THIS! So who really was speaking on that historic day of June 4th 2009 in Egypt? President Obama or the Imam of the proposed Ground Zero Mosque, Feisal Abdul Rauf? The Shoebat Foundation has obtained a shocking audio recording of Rauf's own voice boasting in Arabic that Obama’s historic speech in Cairo was provided by the Imam's work with the Cordova Initiative in what the Imam called “The Blue Print” which, according to him, was the solution to the Islamic-American divide. Rauf claimed that Chapter 6 of the Imam’s work engineered by the Cordova Initiative was the construct for the ...

Had to share this post from Georgia Coordinator, Launa Kowalski: "My friend and Sister Cities colleague, Alan Chambers, of Bangor, Northern Ireland, just posted: 'Used my SCI connections with the US Consulate in Belfast to get myself an invitation to a keynote speech event by President Obama in the Waterfront Hall in the city. Those of you who were in Belfast for the annual conference will recall this fine venue. The First Lady did the warm up act and introduced her husband to a very welcoming and enthusiastic audience consisting of 1500 young people and 500 other guests. Both were truly inspirational. The President did not mention SCI by name but commended all the work that community groups do to bring different cultures and communities together in a spirit of peace. He spoke for over 40 minutes without a note! I know everyone of my USA friends may have different political opinions of the President but speaking as a neutral outsider I can only say that he is a fine ambassador for your country overseas.

Today, the headlines are beginning to write the history we forecasted: • BBC: "Assad forces used chemical weapons - White House" • AP: Russia questions Syrian chemical weapons evidence • The Washington Post: CIA preparing to deliver rebels arms through Turkey and Jordan • The Wall Street Journal: U.S. Military Proposal to Arm Rebels Includes No-Fly Zone in Syria • The New York Times: Assad Warns Israel, Claiming a Stockpile of Russian Weapons • The Times of India: Don't repeat Iraq mistake in Syria, Russia warns America • Al Jazeera: Egypt cuts diplomatic ties with Syria Prepare yourself. President Obama warned Syria not to cross that chemical "red line." If it did, the Commander-in-Chief made it clear "all options" would be in play. And those options include war. The same military industrial complex and governmental sociopaths who brought us the Vietnam, Afghan, Iraq and Libyan wars are at it again.

This is a short Radio Blog that I did for station WNIS Norfolk, Va. This was aired last week and sums up my feelings on Syria. Dennis (Radio Liberty) Connaughton President Obama had the opportunity to make his Presidency a transformational moment in time that could have re-established America's place as a beacon of light for the free world and a definition of freedom for the 21st century.He had an enormous mandate to bring help to the helpless, food to the hungry and hope to the hopeless. What his supporters got instead was a Bush Presidency on steroids. During his administration we have been held in a constant state of war and our nation has grown a police state that has no comparison anywhere on earth. And always there was someone else to blame, a convenient place to point his finger. This time, I think, will be different. The American people finally have to face the cost, in human lives and in money, of our meddling in the affairs of yet another nation.Just when we are withdrawing from Iraq and Afghan ...

They did all that in just a few hours. Recently, Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, senior Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, along with Rep. Chris Gibson, Republican of New York, sponsored an amendment to repeal a dangerous provision in the 2013 military budget. That provision authorized military detention for anyone captured in the United States on suspicion of terrorism, and did not explicitly exclude American citizens. Senator Mark Udall, Democrat of Colorado, said President Obama has pledged not to use the detention power for Americans, but “this is only binding on his administration, but that won’t tie the hands of future administrations.” House Republicans killed the amendment last night. Mr. Smith, who’s been very busy, also proposed an amendment to the ...

Watch President Obama Discuss the NSA and Syria Tonight Before leaving for this week's G-8 summit in the United Kingdom, President Obama sat down with Charlie Rose in the White House Library for a 45-minute interview on topics ranging from Syria to the National Security Agency. That discussion will air tonight at 11:00 PM on PBS stations across the country.

"The revolution starts when you decide, in my case, market capitalism is the thing that will make us extinct this century," he said, telling The Huffington Post that President Obama's health care reform efforts have been meaningless. "It's nothing, zero. He sold out." -Dr. Patch Adams

Are you a liberal? Well, according to this scholar Tea Party person, you are brainwashed. That “Jewish guy,” what’s his name, is funding liberalism and we are all sheep. But the burning question, the real debate, is whether or not President Obama is homosexual or bisexual. Yes. They are seriously di...

HOW ARROGANT! Michelle to Stay at $3,300-a-Night Dublin Hotel Suite 17 June 2013 / 168 Comments First Lady Michelle Obama is staying Monday evening in the $3,300-per-night Princess Grace suite of Dublin’s Five-Star Shelbourne Hotel, according to Irish press reports, adding some credence to accusations she is in the city for a quick vacation at taxpayer expense. Michelle jetted to Dublin Monday afternoon Irish time after a brief stop in Belfast with President Obama, who is in the city for the two-day G-8 Summit. The White House is billing Michelle’s trip to Dublin as having diplomatic significance, but her itinerary suggests otherwise. She and her daughters will visit the Trinity College library to explore President Obama’s Irish family roots, attend a performance by the world-famous Riverdance troupe, and visit the Wicklow Mountains national forest. Judging by the tail number of her plane on the ground at Dublin Airport, it appears Air Force Two has been flown to Europe along with Air Force One and ...

A new CNN poll on President Obama's ratings with Americans shows "61 percent disapprove of the way he's handling government surveillance of Americans in the aftermath of a series of dramatic reports about National Security Agency spying, while 35 percent approve." How about you? Approve or disapprove?

A Pew poll released Monday shows that our politically divided country is fairly unified on one big issue. A huge majority of 70% oppose President Obama's announced plan to arm the rebels in Syria currently waging a war to unseat that country's sitting president, Bashar Assad. Only 20% favor the plan...

Just had 5 prescriptions delivered. Instead of dread, today we have cause to celebrate-my husband is officially out of the gap, the donut hole!! One prescription today did it-less than $100, which is a whole lot better than what we've had recently. Then the rest were as low as $2.95! As for the affordable health care act- President Obama, and all who voted for it-this gap will be phased out within a year or so. After $4700 out of pocket, one qualifies for catastrophic coverage until Dec. 31. I am grateful to have this coverage. I don't know how elderly or disabled people who are on social security only can manage to make it through this if they have a serious or progressive illness. I am thankful that I have KPERS and we were able to pay for his medications. It feels good to know that the insurance companies can't deny my husband coverage, drop him, or put a cap on his lifetime benefits because of this reform. Shame on Congress for again trying to do away with it. Let them walk a mile in the shoes of the ...

Let's face it, when the New York Law Authorities went after the Mafia. they didn't go after Norwegians, Blacks, Mexicans, 8 Year Old Children. and White Grandmothers. They strictly went after the Mafia Families. But President Obama and his Loyal Sidekick, Eric Holder, seem to have an aversion to going after our Well-Known Enemies, The Islamist Terrorists. Remember, the Terrorists came on Bigtime Killing 3,000 Americans and Taking Down the New York Twin Towers in 2001. But since Obama took office in 2009, instead of just focusing in on our Muslim Enemies, He's Grabbed the Phone Records, Emails, Cell Phones, Etc., of Every American in the United States, probably including the Amish People of Pennsylvania. AND WE KNOW What Obama does when he gets Personal Information. He sent out the IRS Tax Monsters to Destroy Anyone Voting Against Him, which included Small Business People, Tea Parties, Christians and Jews Etc., Depleting their Financial Capacity to Donate to his Election Opponent, Which Helped Him Win the ...

Syria crossed a red line, but are about to get involved in another war without a finish line?... Details next…President Obama warned that if Syria’s government used chemical weapons on its own people, that would be crossing a red line. They did. The US risked looking like a paper tiger if we did nothing. So last week, the White House announced that we’ll begin providing aid to the Syrian rebels. They weren’t specific, but it’s assumed that could include weapons. But some of us are feeling some déjà vu. The US supplied weapons to Afghan freedom fighters in the ‘80s. They turned into the Taliban. We backed the Arab Spring in Egypt, and the Muslim Brotherhood took over. Now, we could be arming Syrian rebels, when we know that at least some factions are open supporters of al-Qaeda. They recently murdered a 14-year-old boy for allegedly disrespecting Islam. There’s no question the Assad regime is guilty of atrocities. But are we really helping the Syrians or the world if we keep hel ...

The man who admitted leaking classified documents about U.S. surveillance programs says he did so because President Obama hasn't followed through on campaign promises. Snowden said Pres. Obama campaigned for the presidency on a platform of ending abuses but they have continued.. What are you feelings on Snowden's actions?"

THE SYRIAN REBELS OR THE SYRIAN BEASTS? In an article titled ''On A False Premise- U.S. Looks To G8 Summit For Consensus Over Libya'', the American journalist Shawn Helton of the '21st Century Wire' wrote the following- ''Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Adviser to President Obama declared thursday that the Syrian Army had used sarin gas on it's own people. These ...claims have been unsubstantiated. Just one month ago Carla Del Ponte, a member of the U.N. Independent Commission of Inquiry on Syria concluded that it was the rebel forces inside Syria that had in fact used chemical weapons. The U.N.'s findings were supported by medical staff and victims after a recent chemical attack. So why the sudden rush to judgement? Is the White House ''highly confident'' of the chemical weapons narrative because it provides easier access into Syria and to it's oil and gas reserves?'' This is indeed the question of the century when it comes to the crisis in Syria. The G8 is meeting in Northern Ireland on 17th June 2 ...

"If towns remain divided -- if Catholics have their schools and buildings, and Protestants have theirs, if we can't see ourselves in one another, if fear or resentment are allowed to harden -- that too encourages division. It discourages cooperation." - US President Barack Obama After delivering his speech at Waterfront Hall, President Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron both visited Enniskillen Integrated Primary School. Should Northern Ireland political leaders use this demonstration of support as a springboard for the greater expansion of integrated education?

Palin's book on the alleged war on Christmas destined to be bargain bin drink coasters by Christmas I'd like to congratulate vice presidential trivia quiz answer, full-time self-promoting shill and half-term governor Sarah Palin on returning to Fox News so she can spew her half-baked commentaries and analysis (including a lethal dose of President Obama hatred) as well as promote her book on the right-wing's phony "war on Christmas." The book likely will hit No. 1 on the best-seller list because Fox News and other right-wing organizations will buy a couple million copies -- the book is destined be in the bargain bins at Walmart and Dollar General to be used as table-leg levelers and drink coasters by Christmas. And Palin and Fox News will continue their phony war on Christmas and their war on real Christians by spewing their hateful version of Christianity, which tears down anyone who isn't rich and white and conservative.

Chicago had its most violent weekend. Crime/killing is at all time high.Umm.President Obama? Knock knock. Anything you and your administration can do to stop this from continuing? Oh. Just more black kids killing each other. A non priority. Proceed.

Sarah Palin criticized President Obama's decision to send weapons to Syrian rebels by saying, “Until we have a commander in chief who knows what he is doing ... let Allah sort it out!” Isn't this how most Americans feel? Let us know how YOU feel by leaving a comment below and John Fugelsang might read it on-air tonight.

Lets quit trashing President Obama & start to recognize what he has been able to accomplish! After all, it is an impressive list... First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner. First President to have a social security number from a state he has never lived in. First President to preside over a cut to the credit-rating of the United States. First President to violate the War Powers Act. First President to be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. First President to defy a Federal Judge's court order to cease implementing the Health Care Reform Law. First President to require all Americans to purchase a product from a third party. First President to spend a trillion dollars on 'shovel-ready' jobs when there was no such thing as 'shovel-ready' jobs. First President to abrogate bankruptcy law to turn over control of companies to his union supporters. First President to by-pass Congress and implement the Dream Act ...

The Chicago Teachers’ Strike and Beyond Considerations David Kaplan AKA Joel Jordan David Kaplan is a pseudonym for a veteran high school teacher and long time teachers’ union activist, writer, and organizer. Last September’s Chicago teachers’ strike raises critical strategic questions for all progressives and socialists seeking to resist the relentless neoliberal austerity attacks against working people and their communities. For teachers and union activists generally, it was a long-awaited event. Finally, a teachers’ union had the courage to take a stand against the corporate education agenda to privatize and dismantle urban public school systems emanating from President Obama and his Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, and being implemented today by virtually every big city mayor across the country; in this case Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel, one of the nation’s most powerful politicians. In its counterattack, the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) organized and mobilized its teacher base, and active ...

The Republican policy to assassinate the US President works by using their white-wing media to gin up irrational hate and fear against the US government and President Obama. These on-going pogroms to de-humanize and criminalize the sitting US President are a deliberate effort to remove inhibitions from "Lone Wolf" white-wing crazies in the GOP base, and send them on self-appointed missions to kill perfectly innocent Americans... Getting to the President is rather difficult and easier targets of opportunity are often chosen. Conservatives support and defend their policy of hate, violence, and assassination by silently smiling and agreeing with, and being entertained by, hate speech and violent rhetoric. There is unanimous silent support for dehumanizing images, and vocal support for scandals implying the President is a criminal or a traitor, who is somehow getting away with crimes, and so killing him is a legitimate political alternative. Scandals ginned up by known criminals like Conservative Hero D ...

***Distrust of Govt Is Unifying Theme*** Monday, 17 Jun 2013 10:43 AM By Scott Rasmussen Another week, another controversy in official Washington. At the moment, 35 percent of voters consider recently exposed National Security Agency surveillance efforts as the most serious. The Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservatives is No. 2 on the list, followed by concerns about the Obama administration's handling of the incident in Benghazi last fall in which the U.S. ambassador to Libya was murdered. The Justice Department's secret probe of reporters' phone and email records is seen as the top concern by only 9 percent. Competing for attention with the controversies are ongoing policy disputes over immigration, gun control, and full implementation of the national healthcare law. While each of these stories has its own cast of characters and internal dynamics, it is now possible to identify a unifying theme. President Obama, whose deeply held faith in government is unwavering, unintentionally provided t ...

President Obama's support may be eroding amid reports of surveillance programs and IRS abuses. A new CNN/ORC International poll gives Obama an approval rating of 45%, a drop of 8 percentage points over the

The Wall Street Journal Updated June 16, 2013, 7:41 p.m. ET The Absent Commander in Chief Obama isn't defending the war powers he has used so robustly. President Obama's admirers—who include most of the press corps, the Nobel committee and President Obama—believe above all in the power of his oratory: A "major speech," in Philadelphia, Tucson or Cairo, can always calm troubled political waters. Which makes the silence of this wordiest of Presidents all the more unusual and dangerous amid the political uproar over National Security Agency antiterror surveillance. In the 11 days since the story broke, Mr. Obama has offered only one brief and elliptical defense of the NSA programs. "I welcome this debate," he said, adding that "We'll have a chance to talk further during the course of the next couple days." Mr. Obama went on to spend the next couple days avoiding the debate he said he welcomed. Between fund-raising appearances in Miami Beach and Santa Monica, he squeezed in an event welcoming the women's ...

FROM A NEW JERSEY PAPER - WORTH THE READ - President Obama’s Administration has been caught in a perfect “three strikes and you’re out” set of scandals which may over the next few weeks or months reach the President himself. In ordinary times, the growing sense that President Obama has engaged in some very Nixonian actions might spell an early end to his tenure in the White House. However, President Obama has a two-word trump card that virtually guarantees he won’t be impeached: WHY??? THE ANSWER IS JOE BIDEN. To pick up on our baseball analogy, let’s look at how President Obama missed the ball during the run-up to the 2012 election. Strike One: Failing to keep our ambassador safe in Libya, he had an underling dissemble afterward, blaming an anti-Muslim video, all to maintain his “al Qaida is destroyed” narrative for voters. Strike Two: The IRS intimidated President Obama’s political opponents. Strike Three: The Justice Department ran roughshod over press freedom by secretly acquiring th ...

Great to see David Cameron & Barack Obama taking time out from the business of the to enjoy some arts & crafts with school children in Enniskillen.

We all deserve death and *** no matter how much our decieved minds think we have a say-so in the judgement of any soul. Hard realization to make for the unwise, hopefully for you this is no problem. My question to you was never whether you think you know Christ or not. My question is does Christ know you? If i go to the White House and say 'i know President Obama and want to come in'. That Secret Service person may ask 'But does President Obama know you?' If our President does know you and was there and not busy, he would allow you in. My analogies may be off today. A friend i know from SDSU asked how i kept the zeal (fire) and my love for Jesus alive for decades. She had a hard time understanding how any person is capable. i told her because 'my home is built on the Rock, with the foundation being Christ - and besides, it's not me at all but the work of the Holy Spirit.' i was tired and just wanted to get off the phone. After evening prayers, before bed, i thought about our conversation for a while. i .. ...

The 2004 article from Kenya’s oldest newspaper – The Standard – featured the headline which stated : Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate And the blogosphere went into hyper overdrive. The first line of defense was that it was a fraud, and the second line of defense was to simply ignore the story. As of today – according to the Google news search engine – not one main stream newspaper is reporting this story other than blogger Don Surber at The Daily Mail in Charleston, West Virginia. And he has apparently debunked the first line of defense, stating: I checked. Apparently that is a true image from the June 24, 2004, Standard, which is Kenya’s oldest newspaper. Then Surber goes on to argue that just because the report appeared in 2004, that doesn’t mean it’s true. However, what Surber and most of the blogosphere have failed to comprehend is that President Obama has admitted the headline is true. It is undisputed that Obama was Kenyan-born by the blood of his father. That led to his Kenya ...

In her latest column, NYT writer Maureen Dowd suggests that President Obama is leading not only from behind when it comes to acting in Syria...he is leading from behind former Pres. Bill Clinton, who thinks Obama should be more forceful in Syria. What do you think?

QUOTE FROM *** CHEYNEY “As everybody who’s been associated with the program’s said, if we had had this before 9/11, when there were two terrorists in San Diego, two hijackers, had been able to use that program, that capability, against that target, we might well have been able to prevent 9/11,” Cheney said. He continued with a pointed criticism of President Obama. ”I find a lot of it is, in other areas — the IRS, Benghazi — not credible. I’m obviously not a fan of the incumbent president.” Hey *** . I disagree. Your administration ignored numerous warnings from both internal and foreign intelligence outright stating that Bin Laden was going to attack the US using hijacked planes. And what did you do? NOTHING!!. Don't you think taking those warnings a little more seriously instead of going on vacation just MIGHT have helped prevent 9/11?

Note to Sen. Rubio: While the Hispanic Community makes up 8% of the electorate and Romney only garnered 27% of the Hispanic vote; the Hispanic vote didn't cost him the election. Even if Romney had won 60% of the Hispanic vote President Obama still would have won the election. Romney loss the base and mostly white middle class voters stayed home on election day. So this immigration reform bill is a big joke. You can't win votes by allowing a free ride to the front of the line.

On this 64th anniversary of the publication of George Orwell's novel, "1984" uninterested, uninformed and uninvolved Americans should consider his concocted language called "Newspeak," which includes: "War is peace: freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength." President Obama is speaking in "Newspeak" when he says government can be trusted. Government cannot be trusted. We - and he - must trust the Constitution. The U. S. government program, code-named PRISM, traces revelation its roots to warrant-less domestic-surveillance efforts under former President George W. Bush. (A few weeks after the 9-11 attacks Congress passed that what was called the Patriot Acts, which has led the county to where it is now at, warrant-less domestic-survellance programs.

Ahhh back to work after a great Father's Day Weekend. With determination, a purpose-filled schedule of events positioned new solutions to address aging issues. The force behind these solutions I acknowledged Saturday during a comment I made in an open forum. I acknowledged and thanked President Obama for making an impact in our local communities during his term with programs that are significant in reversing negative trends among African-American males. President Obama’s approach on highlighting the education deficit and health disparities was made clear again as his representative; Cornell McClellan presented his Fit Father’s initiative. The Fit Fathers presentation called for fathers to convene and provide the necessary support to encourage fathers to be responsible. After his presentation, the following resolution was read by all. • I DO solemnly resolve before God to take responsibility for myself, my wife, and my children. • I WILL love them, serve them, and teach them the word of God as ...

Press Release * America has Declared War upon the World: Spying on Whoever It Wants! * The revelations last week, by former CIA and NSA Consultant Edward Snowden, exposed that America is running a secret program called PRISM to access emails, photographs, telephone calls and text messages. This violation of people’s privacy has drawn a stiff response from America’s friends and foes alike. The European Union’s Justice Commissioner has written to the US Attorney General demanding that he answer seven questions related to the protection of the rights of EU citizens, while the Chinese have expressed outrage over America’s hypocrisy. An article in The China Daily quoted Li Haidon, at the China Foreign Affairs University, as saying: "For months Washington has been accusing China of cyber-espionage but it turns out that the biggest threat to the pursuit of individual freedom and privacy in the US is the unbridled power of the government." President Obama attempted to justify America’s criminal intrusio ...

Good Morning! I admit it. I am intrigued by the notion the Russian President looked at Robert Kraft's Superbowl ring and said, "I could kill with this," and then stole it. This morning the Putin camp says the story is "weird." I totally agree with Mr. Putin. On the subject of Superbowl rings...I visited the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. It was AWESOME. And it boasted William "Refrigerator" Perry's Superbowl ring. It was a size 23! That's one big finger on one big man. I'll post a picture later on. In the news today: President Obama sits down with Russian President Putin to talk about the Syrian civil war and maybe allegations the US spied on Russian communications during the last summit. Also, a victim of domestic violence is fired from her job because her employer feared her abusive husband. We'll also explore whether baseball pitchers should wear protective head gear. What's it going to take? A pitcher dying? Sadly, I think the answer to that is yes. I'll see you at 9 and 10 AM ES.

USA : A women arrested to send a poisonlaced letter to president Obama !! An actress from Texas was arrested today for allegedly sending poison-laced letters to President Obama and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg last month, federal prosecutors said today. Texas woman Shannon Richardson, who has appeared on television including a stint as a zombie on "The Walking Dead," originally called the FBI claiming her husband was the person who sent a series of letters laced with small amounts of the toxin ricin to Obama, Bloomberg and Bloomberg's top gun control lobbyist in Washington, D.C. in late May. But today court documents allege it was Richardson, not her husband, who mailed the letters. She was arrested and made her first court appearance today. If convicted, Richardson faces up to 10 years in federal prison, prosecutors said

Sitting at a coffee house in Belfast, Ireland with my beautiful bride of 13 years. We had to fight the crowds as President Obama is literally 2 minutes away sharing his love with the great people of Ireland. We pray for the leaders of the G8 this morning as they meet for Godly wisdom and guidance. We especially pray for our president to have his heart softened to God and that righteousness be returned to our nation. God exalts a nation that has its affections on Him. Tomorrow morning we are off to Derry to meet with another church planter, David Claire Cullen and see how can be a part of what God is doing in Ireland. We are having a blast and are so grateful for the opportunity to have our feet on the ground to hear what the Spirit is saying about our participation to make Christ known in this wonderful place. Keep the prayers coming as we seek the Lord for this next season of our life and Catalyst Church of NWA. Oh by the way, did I mention I am sitting here with the most beautiful woman in the world on ...

Former Vice President *** Cheney on Sunday strongly defended the recently-exposed U.S. surveillances program, which he helped craft in the aftermath of 9/11, but sharply criticized President Obama for his handling of a range of issues from the Syrian civil war to the Benghazi terror attacks.

1. The collection of phone numbers and other “metadata” isn’t much of a threat to privacy. Don’t worry, argue defenders of these surveillance programs: The government is gathering innocuous data, not intimate secrets. “Nobody is listening to your telephone calls,” President Obama declared. Intelligence agencies are “looking at phone numbers and durations of calls; they are not looking at people’s names, and they’re not looking at content.”But metadata about phone calls can be quite revealing. Whom someone is talking to may be just as sensitive as what’s being said. Calls to doctors or health-care providers can suggest certain medical conditions. Calls to businesses say something about a person’s interests and lifestyle. Calls to friends reveal associations, potentially pointing to someone’s political, religious or philosophical beliefs. Even when individual calls are innocuous, a detailed phone record can present a telling portrait of the person associated with a tele ...

Syrian Coalition Statement Regarding US Announcement Media Statement Syrian Coalition Istanbul, Turkey June 14, 2013 The White House today confirmed the intelligence community's assessment that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons, including the nerve gas sarin, resulting in the deaths of at least 100-150 Syrian people, a conclusion reached previously by the Syrian opposition and corroborated the international community. In response the Administration also announced the decision to provide direct military support to the Supreme Military Council and to provide increased amounts and types of support to the Syrian Coalition. The Syrian Coalition welcomes increased U.S. assistance including direct military support. The support should be strategic and decisive in order to force an end to the violence and to achieve a political transition and improve chances of a successful Geneva II conference. "President Obama's leadership, as well as direct US support of all kinds, is necessary in order to create the c ...

Nick Baker (16-June-2013 What Happened This Week – 1. In Hong Kong, former defense consultant Edward Snowden revealed himself to be the leaker responsible for unveiling the NSA’s data mining programs. Snowden explained why he leaked the programs in a video interview with The Guardian. He claimed the U.S. hacks Chinese data, in an interview with the South China Morning Post. The media can’t agree whether Snowden is a hero or a traitor: Chinese dissident Ai Weiwei sided with Snowden, but legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said he should go to jail. Talking Points Memo has an excellent post about why Snowden divides us. 2. In Iran, moderate candidate Hassan Rouhani beat out conservative opponents to win the country’s presidential election.

Has Obama Done Enough for Black Americans? Bernard Anderson, a pathbreaking African-American economist, understands the importance of rhetoric. He was up front at the Lincoln Memorial when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his historic “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963. And he was in the audience on the Howard University campus in 1965 to hear President Johnson deliver a grim view of the state of black America and declare war on “past injustice and present prejudice.” So Anderson had high hopes as he sat at home in Pennsylvania watching President Obama deliver his second Inaugural Address this year. He wanted Obama to acknowledge that even five decades after Johnson’s stirring oration, African-Americans in today’s America still struggle against discrimination. And when the president started talking about “We, the people,” the veteran civil-rights champion grew excited. “As he was going through ‘We, the people’ and ‘We, the people,’ my heart started to beat,” Anderson said. But just as ...

A president for everyone, except Black people As President Barack Obama begins his second term, there is something noticeably different about his new cabinet - the absence of African-American leaders and advisors. The Congressional Black Caucus chair, Rep. Marcia Fudge of Ohio recently sent the president a letter stating, “You have publicly expressed your commitment to retaining diversity within your cabinet. However, the people you have chosen to appoint in this new term have hardly been reflective of this country’s diversity.” When one compares President Obama to his predecessors, the decrease in African-American appointments is astounding. In American presidential history, President William Jefferson Clinton has been, by far, the most transformational leader. Clinton appointed seven African-American cabinet members, the most of any president in history: Ron Brown as Secretary of Commerce; Mike Espy as Secretary of Agriculture; Hazel O’Leary as Secretary of Energy; Alexis Herman as Secretary of ...

OP-ED A MUST READ STORY In 2009 the GOP declared political war against President Obama and fired the first shot across the bow. Mitch McConnell advised the Nation that he and the GOP intended to make sure that they will destroy any attempts by President Obama that might succeed in the recovery of the financial, economic and job sectors created by the housing and stock market crash of late 2008. To make matters even worst the GOP showed little respect for the office of the Presidency and no respect for President Obama. On September 10, 2009 while President Obama was making a speech to the joint session of Congress on his proposed health care plan, Congressman Joe Wilson shouted out to President Obama, "YOU LIE" showing utter disrespect for office of the presidency. President Obama understood his political opponents and what he was up against. Within 48 hours the "Obama" Strategic Political War playbook, "progressive doctrine" was unleashed on the GOP and their new junior members the conservatives with such ...

On Father’s Day weekend, President Obama issued his usual radio and internet address, in which he talked about his own father’s absence, talked about the heroism of single parents, and lamented the plight of put-upon *** dads.

*** Cheney on Fox News right now... his reaction to President Obama's statement that this whole sar on terror must end some day was way too negative... that was the worst thing a contractor kingpin could hear... he then proceeded to offer a long list of "threats," some of which may be real, most of which probably represent new war theater markets for his cronies to penetrate.

CBS News, Last Week, June 7: On the heels of a series of reports detailing the U.S. government's practice of tracking private citizens' phone and internet use, President Obama on Friday sought to downplay the invasiveness of the procedure, assuring a California audience that "nobody is listening to…

I hope you are ready for biographies on our two newest Supreme Court Justices that were nominated by President Obama in Sonia Maria Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Sonia Sotomayor was born June 25, 1954 and South Bronx, New York. She is the first latina women to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court. She is presently 1 of 4 female justices. Sotomayor attended Princeton University. NYU, Columbia Law School and Yale Law School. She graduated Yale with a J.D. in 1979 and passed the BAR exam in 1980. George H.W. Bush nominated her for District Court in 1992. She was nominated to the Second Circuit Court by Bill Clinton in 1998 and Barack Obama nominated Sotomayor to the highest bench in May 2009. Sotomayor has a net worth of 800,000 dollars. Before her appointment to the court she had one case (Ricci v. Destefano) go before the high court which was reversed by a 5-4 vote against Sotomayor. Elena Kagan was born April 28, 1960 and raised in N.Y. This jewish american girl obtained a bachelors degree in history from Princeton ...

In light of Beyoncé and Jay-Z's recent trip to Cuba, do you support President Obama's new plan to allocate five percent of federal tax dollars to fortify John Kerry against South Koreans, should Ahmadinejad move forward with his nuclear program?

Amendment IV to the Constitution: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrant shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons to be seized." NSA wide surveillance of ordinary Americans is a CLEAR violation of the fourth amendment and should outrage ALL Americans. NSA Surveillance did NOTHING to stop the Boston bombing or apprehend the culprits. Our founding fathers knew that if you gave government these rights they will abuse it and they are right now. We must demand Senate Intelligence Committee hearings on exactly what the NSA is doing and the right of ordinary Americans who have no connections to terrorists to know what information is being gathered on us. I thought President Obama would be different. I caucused for him. I had an Impeach Bush sticker on my door. I guess I was wrong.

Reading the comments on this picture reminds me that there is some real hate in America. It is not only disheartening buts its truly a disgrace to all things bible and all things American. Here is a note: 1. White people- not all black people are lazy. African Americans were apart of building this nation. In fact, our hands and labor went a long way to filling your pockets while you were in the big house soaking up air and raping our people. 2. Black people- not all white people are racists or hate filled money *** Some of them were raised with dignity and care to love all people. In fact, without some them, we might never have known the freedoms we know now. I am thankful for a president who understands the significance of fathers being fathers. I don 't have to agree with his politics to be honoring. Happy Father's Day , President Obama.

Tom Joad on Rush Limbaugh... Liberals must not worship Republican Jesus™. And by suggesting that liberals HATE God - Rush walks right up to the line of saying liberals worship the Devil. Remember, Rush's audience doesn't want news - they want confirmation for their biases. Many on the right (let's use Michele Bachmann as our example again) believe that President Obama is the antichrist and we are currently living in the End Times. Rush gets himself as wound up as "Pastor" Fred Phelps belching fire and brimstone in one of his Apocalyptic sermons - and his listeners adore him for it.

This is one of the few things I applaud President Obama for. It is obvious he's a great father and husband. The First Family has set a wonderful example, especially considering all the stresses they endure, as to what a healthy unit should be. Considering the percentage of African American families in this country without a father at home, I hope the example they've set, resonates across this land. A Happy Father's Day to him, as well.

Steve Hayes at the Weekly Standard makes a great point about President Obama and his surveillance state. While members of Congress of both parties and even former VP *** Cheney have been out defending the NSA programs... The man most…

Sen. Marco Rubio says he would have taken action in Syria well before now and that, if he were president, "we never would have gotten to this point." "In politics or in foreign policy, timing matters," the Florida Republican said Sunday on ABC's "This Week." "These were options that were there for us a year and a half ago, before things became this chaotic," Rubio said, but President Obama "failed" to seize any of those opportunities. "The fact that it's taken this White House and this president this so long to get a clear and concise policy on Syria has left us with the worst possible scenario right now." If he had been making decisions, Rubio said, he would have taken action months or years ago. "We would have identified elements that we could have worked with and we would have made sure that those elements, not the Al Qaeda elements, were the best armed, best equipped and best trained," he said. These two warmongers want to start another war. do you agree with that?

A snippet from a profile on Edward Snowden from today's New York Times: "In 2009, Mr. Snowden joined the National Security Agency as a contract employee at a military facility in Japan. He told The Guardian he was disappointed that President Obama “advanced the very policies that I thought would be reined in.” “I got hardened,” he said. In 2010, he returned to Ars Technica after a long absence. His new preoccupation was political, not technical. “Society really seems to have developed an unquestioning obedience towards spooky types,” he wrote. “Did we get to where we are today via a slippery slope that was entirely within our control to stop, or was it an relatively instantaneous sea change that sneaked in undetected because of pervasive government secrecy?”

Obama escalating war in Syria: Ex-Congressman Ron Paul Former US Congressman Ron Paul has sharply criticized President Barack Obama for his decision to approve arming foreign-backed militants in Syria, noting that such a move would “escalate” the ongoing crisis in the Middle Eastern country. “Today we heard from President Obama that the war in Syria will be escalated. He now has agreed to send weaponry in to assist the rebels. It’s escalation, that’s a proper word, because we’ve already been involved for quite a few months. We’ve been supporting the rebels for probably the past two years, supposedly for humanitarian reasons,” he said in a statement posted on YouTube on Friday. “But now there is going to be a much more aggressive approach and we’re going to send weapons. There is a few problems with this, first off, it’s war. Second thing is presidents are not supposed to start war without permission from the people through a congressional declaration of war,” Paul argued. He also r ...

Fox Business host Neil Cavuto yelled at producers to cut the mic of a liberal pundit who dared to say that not all of the ‘scandals’ plaguing President Obama are created equal. On Friday, Cavuto attempted to link the recent revelations about the extent of the National Security Agency’s collection of...

Can we trust the federal government? Those of us who live in Illinois know about the Chicago political machine that produced President Obama. Sorry Mr. President, I just don't trust you. A foot note to this rant. There is one person who has not surfaced yet in the scandals. Valarie Jarrett. Just keep it in mind.

Forty six members of Congress on Friday, June 14th, sent a letter to President Obama demanding the immediate resignation of scandal-ridden Attorney General Eric Holder. The date of this letter coincides to the EXACT date indicated by Republican Insider in which he stated Republicans would demand to...

Back to previous page - U.S. surveillance architecture includes collection of revealing Internet, phone metadata By Barton Gellman, Published: June 15 On March 12, 2004, acting attorney general James B. Comey and the Justice Department’s top leadership reached the brink of resignation over electronic surveillance orders that they believed to be illegal. President George W. Bush backed down, halting secret foreign- intelligence-gathering operations that had crossed into domestic terrain. That morning marked the beginning of the end of STELLARWIND, the cover name for a set of four surveillance programs that brought Americans and American territory within the domain of the National Security Agency for the first time in decades. It was also a prelude to new legal structures that allowed Bush and then President Obama to reproduce each of those programs and expand their reach. What exactly STELLARWIND did has never been disclosed in an unclassified form. Which parts of it did Comey approve? Which did he shut ...

What should we think of someone who steals highly classified government documents on an illegal memory device and then runs away to China? PRISM is now well organized within the law and appears legal by all accounts… and not just legal within the loose confines of the controversial PATRIOT Act but under President Obama organized and executed legally within the structures of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 which was put into place in the wake of the intelligence abuse exposed by the Church Committee. For a little historical perspective, the Church Committee arguably went so far clipping the intelligence community’s wings that the “intelligence failures” of 9/11 can be traced directly back to its proscriptions, unaware of a future changing world, as well as the emasculation of the CIA at the hands of Stansfield Turner and Jimmy Carter following a real wave of spying on American citizens. My father was there, a named defendant on an ACLU lawsuit with Nixon and Laird, as director of ...

LITTLE STORY ABOUT BARACK OBAMA :) “You cannot grow this economy from the top down. You grow this economy from the middle class out. We’re not going to go back to what we were doing before. We’re moving forward.” President Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4th, 1961, to a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas. Growing up, he was also raised by his grandfather, who served in Patton’s army, and his grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to become vice president at a local bank. After working his way through school with the help of scholarship money and student loans, President Obama moved to Chicago, where he worked as an organizer to help rebuild communities devastated by the closure of local steel plants. He went on to Harvard Law School, where he was elected the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. After graduating, President Obama went on to lead one of the most successful voter registration drives in state history, and continued hi ...

MKO ABIOLA, Susan Rice,THE MISSING HOUR AND A DEADLY CUP OF TEA (updated) Ambassador Susan Rice was up until recently the American Ambassador to the United Nations. Her long-standing aspiration of becoming the Secretary of State for her country was dashed when the Republicans in the Senate started sharpening their knives in anticipation of her formal nomination for that position by President Barak Obama. Sensing that her nomination would not scale through the Senate and that she would not be confirmed as Secretary of State due to the role she played in the cover up of the Benghazi affair in which the American Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and three other American citizens were murdered by a group of islamist terrorists, her nomination was withdrawn. Instead of Secretary of State, President Obama has now nominated her for the position of National Security Advisor which is a job that does not require Senate approval or confirmation. I wish Susan Rice well in her new assignment but I am constrain ...

Every year, like clockwork, Mrs. Obama exploits the president's official business responsibilities to squeeze in a pre-summer vacation, otherwise known as a PSV. A PSV is where vacation junkie Michelle finds a way to finagle a series of trips at the taxpayer's expense. Here is how it's done: The president announces his plan to attend the G8 summit at the Lough Erne resort in Northern Ireland. Michelle convinces Barack to schedule some sort of secondary sideshow so the family can use it as an excuse to travel in the highest possible style, cost-free, compliments of the American taxpayer. On this trip, the ancillary appearance will be in Belfast where President Obama will subject Irish students to a sizeable dose of his customary blarney. Michelle, as well as Sasha and Malia, will all grit their teeth and endure the Belfast students' speech. Let's remember, this is the woman who couldn't find the time to meet and spend diplomatic time with China's first lady Peng Liyuan at the Sunnylands Summit in Rancho .. ...

Part 1 From my dear Brother in Islam who remains in a high security prison in Illinois. This is insane. But just look to the bizarre US relationship with Israel for the cause. And then ask yourselves, "why"? Support of any kind for a group on the State Department's list is now grounds for a trial on charges of terrorism BY VICTORIA BRITTAIN A four-month hunger strike, mass force-feedings, and widespread media coverage have at last brought Guantanamo, the notorious offshore prison set up by the Bush administration early in 2002, back into American consciousness. Prominent voices are finally calling on President Obama to close it down and send home scores of prisoners who, years ago, were cleared of wrongdoing. Still unnoticed and out of the news, however, is a comparable situation in the U.S. itself, involving a pattern of controversial terrorism trials that result in devastating prison sentences involving the harshest forms of solitary confinement. This growing body of prisoners is made up of Muslim men, ...

Since 2009, we've been tracking President Obama's clean-energy dirt, proving that the Green Corruption scandal is the largest, most expensive and deceptive case of crony capitalism in American history. Stay tuned as we expose one piece of this scandal at a time...

Where Have All the Liberals Gone? By Dana Milbank, The Washington Post 15 June 13 here have all the liberals gone? President Obama, who as a Democratic senator accused the Bush administration of violating civil liberties in the name of security, now vigorously defends his own administration's collection of Americans' phone records and Internet activities. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said he thinks Congress has done sufficient intelligence oversight. His evidence? Opinion polls. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi defended the programs' legality and said she wants Edward Snowden prosecuted for leaking details of the secret operations. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chairwoman of the Senate intelligence committee, accused Snowden of treason and defended false testimony given to her committee by the director of national intelligence, who in March had denied the programs' existence. With some exceptions, progressive lawmakers and the liberal commentariat have been passive and acquiescent toward the sec ...

The President and that crazy Senator from Arizona who left part of his brains in Vietnam and a few others are talking about Assad and poison gas. Well, I have heard that tune before and I do not buy it. I do not buy that gas is worse than carpet bombing or IEDs or massive infiltration by troops, tanks and mortars, or by crazed jihadists. Dead is dead and I need independent proof from six labs, seventeen journalists and four thousand eyewitnesses before I will come close to believing the stories. If the CIA or FBI swear to it, I KNOW they are lying: the second their lips move they are lying. I used to think President Obama had some integrity, but he has proven to be in Bush's class as a liar. I would not trust him with a pen knife, much less access to real weapons. Aligning U.S. aid with the rebels is tantamount to treason: these people are Al Quaeda---does that ring a bell? Our troops have been fighting them, we have been being humiliated at airports and elsewhere all over the world because of th ...

The White House announced on Thursday that US intelligence has conclusive proof of chemical weapons use by the Assad government, though a prior report by the UN on the opposition’s use of such weapons complicates matters. President Obama is said to be considering plans for greater military intervent...

NRA President Jim Porter: "It's Only A Matter Of Time Before We Can Own Colored People Again" May 5, 2013 . HOUSTON - It seems new National Rifle Association President (NRA) president Jim Porter may have found himself in a bit of hot water. Not long ago he made his feelings about the Civil War known when he referred to it as the "War of Northern Aggression." In that same speech he referred to President Obama as a "fake president" and Attorney General Eric Holder as "rabidly un-American." However none of those remarks that anyone could deem as racist compare to his remarks made at a recent press conference discussing his new leadership role at the NRA. "I'm very proud to be taking the lead here at the NRA. We need to really buckle down and strap on our best arguments to defend what is our God-given rights. No more northern folk tryin' take away what is rightfully ours. I will not stand by and let some liberal-elitists try to ruin what has made this country great, especially a liberal of, you know, a differ ...

what is going on with the conservative side of politics and media in Australia. Throwing barbs at the Prime Minister's partner for the fun of it is now going beyond the realms of decency. regardless of the truth or otherwise of the *rumours of someone's sexuality* why is it something we really needed to be thrown out there a few months b4 an election? We are now copying US Tea Party republicans style of politics of unsubstantiated accusations about President Obama.repeated through conservative media outlets. the method of saying the same lie long enough all lies stick must be the latest political tactic in our 24/7 new junkie world

Dal New York Times, ieri 14 giugno: Someone should let President Obama know that a United Nations inquiry into human rights abuses in Syria has found evidence that rebel forces are likely to have used chemical weapons. Carla Del Ponte, of the UN Independent Commission of Inquiry on Syria, said that testimony gathered from casualties and medical staff indicated that the nerve agent sarin was used by rebel fighters. Ms. Del Ponte, a Swiss diplomat noted, "Our investigators have been in neighbouring countries interviewing victims, doctors and field hospitals and, according to their report of last week which I have seen, there are strong, concrete suspicions ... of the use of sarin gas, from the way the victims were treated... This was used on the part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government authorities." Chi ha informato Obama? O e' in malafede di suo?

America's Vast Margin of Error Victor Davis Hanson The Obama administration is facing scandals everywhere -- using the IRS to punish political enemies, seizing the phone records of Associated Press and Fox News reporters, monitoring phone and email accounts of millions, and making up stories about what happened in Benghazi. In other words, the sort of government overreach that hardly raises eyebrows in Russia, China and most of Africa and Latin America is felonious here in the most free society in the world. Because of America's unique Constitution, and especially the Bill of Rights, for over two centuries Americans have taken as their birthright privacy and free expression, so that even the slightest infringement becomes cause for outrage -- and correction. We have wide margins of error in energy. President Obama still keeps the Keystone Pipeline on hold. He's frozen almost all new gas and oil leasing on America's vast public lands. Yet throughout the 2012 campaign, the president boasted that gas and oil ...

Florida Immigrant Coalition (FLIC) Press Release: Miami, FL - As the Senate continues its debate on comprehensive immigration reform, over 100 South Floridians boarded three buses to attend a pre-Father's Day rally in front of the Broward Transitional Center to honor the "true victims of a broken immigration system." Attendees at the action in front of the immigrant detention center in Pompano Beach braved the hot sun to listen to emotional pleas for politicians to act quickly. Recent polls show that Floridians overwhelmingly support a new immigration system that many feel would make places like the Broward Transitional Center obsolete. But with current deportations averaging 1,110 daily and new amendments being floated that would only continue the trend, many immigrant communities do not feel content sitting by and watching the debate at the sidelines. Marcela, whose husband might face deportation this coming Monday, came to the rally with her son Bryan. "We have to ask President Obama to please keep h . ...

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution says, "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." We the People of these United States of America do hereby demand that the House of Representatives begin the process of Impeachment of Barack Hussein Obama on grounds of treason. There are numerous cited cases of President Obama giving aid and comfort to our known enemies which include but are not limited to: *All foreign aid to the Morsi regime in Egypt. *The "Fast and Furious" ope ...
