Chocolate Cake, Fresh Fruit and Apologies

*note from the Author – I wrote this on Sunday, May 16, 2010. As with most things Obama, I have a lot of speculation and sarcasm I like to add to the mix. Such was the case with this article. That changed today, Wed. May 19, when suicide (aka: homicide; by those with brains) bombers approached Bagram Airfield with the sole intent of killing as many Americans as possible. This event strengthened my resolute belief that our troops should not be acting as  apologist peacemakers when it comes to Radical Islamists; whose battle cry is and will remain “Death To America,” until their objective is met; or the U.S. stops playing footsies.*

On Saturday, May 15th, at Bagram Military Detention center in Afghanistan, some 40 miles North of Kabul, before a gathering of Afghan leaders and eleven former prisoners, special guest, U.S. Marine Lt. Gen. John R. Allen; the number two official at Central Command in Florida, spoke.  As the guests munched on chocolate cake and fresh fruit, they listened to a contrite apology given by Allen. “If we detained you unfairly, I am sorry.” Allen told the men. “I hope this is a good day for you to return to your families.”

Apparently it wasn’t a good day for [Continue...]

I’ve Got My Boot On Your Neck America: Barack Obama

  “My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.” President Obama to Goldman Sachs CEO’s. 

Kill your parents!” urged sixties leftist Bill Ayers: a man who once tried to overthrow his country’s government as a member of The Weather Underground, and who contributed to then Senator  Obama’s presidential  campaign.

    “… a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you  will experience an epiphany … and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and    vote for Obama” – Barack Obama in Lebanon, New Hampshire January 7, 2008

  “ God d___  America, Land that I loathe….” Rev. Jeremiah Wright being patriotic. Obama claims to never have really listened to his pastor of 20 years; although he married the Obama’s and baptized their daughters…

 Treason I: Adhering to the enemy and giving them comfort; betraying one’s country.

*Senator Obama, campaigning to be President of the United States, said, “The lives of more than 3,000 American soldiers killed in Iraq have been wasted.” 2/12/07

*Senator/Presidential Candidate Obama said, “I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance.” 8/3/07

*Obama declares the U.S., “…is not and never will be at war with Islam.”4/6/09

Fallen Heroes Return: President and His Media Entourage Attend

fallen-heroes-return-president-and-his-media-entourage-attend

Could it be Obama’s first presidential act…? Carried out in the middle of the night; quiet, so as not to disturb anyone (except the media, who should be awake if he is). The president takes a 40 minute flight to Dover AFB for the return of our fallen heroes, where only the sound of a ‘whirring power unit, and the clicking of cameras’ can be heard. This eye-moistening account comes from  Ben Feller of the Assoc. Press.

I know everything is a photo op for a politician (sorry all you starry eyed Obamites – he is one), but it makes me sick everytime. More nauseating than that though is the description of these events by the media. I’m wondering if Obama was able to keep his talk with the mourning families strictly to his condolences and thanks, or did he let slip the underlying Obamantra, “You know, I inherited this mess from Bush…”

When Obama arrived back at the White House the scene was laid out eloquently, again by Mr. Feller (who I believe to really be romance novelist Nora Roberts);  ‘He walked inside, alone.’  Later, speaking softly and somewhat haltingly, Obama said losses such as these are “something I think about each and every day.” Really Mr. [Continue...]

Barack & Wen: Common Threads

barack-wen-common-threads

And now, a teachable, and dare I say, learnable  moment.  AP (Autonomous Press) - 10/28/09   *President Obama says the White House is willing to hold talks with Fox News if the exiled ‘Fair and Balanced’ media outlet will abandon its conservative cause, defending the government’s hard-line position toward the news station. “For such contacts and consultations to make progress, what’s important is for Fox to have sincerity. Otherwise no substantive results can be made.” Obama told reporters. The Obama administration has repeatedly accused Fox of advocating independence and fomenting anti-government protests. Fox executives say they only advocate a way which calls for significant U.S. citizen autonomy under Obama rule, but not independence.  In answering questions from foreign and domestic reporters, Obama offered an unqualified defense of his administration’s policies on conservative journalism and reporting, ignoring questions about trampling on the First Amendment. He defended his administration, saying that stimulus money, along with jobs and healthcare for all prove that “policies we have  adopted are right.” Thousands of Obama’s Civil Patrol have been manning checkpoints around D.C., ready to head off any further wide-scale ‘Tea Party’ anti-government demonstrations; which, as proven by the administration, have been encouraged and organized by Fox News. Asked whether the presence of the Civil Patrol pointed to failings in [Continue...]

Commander In Chief?

BRENNAN LINSLEY : ASSOCIATED PRESS:  Monday,  October 5, 2009 5:45 AM:         WASHINGTON – “Afghanistan is not in imminent danger of falling to the Taliban”, President Barack Obama’s national security adviser said yesterday. He downplayed fears that the insurgency could set up a renewed sanctuary for al-Qaida. Retired Gen. James Jones’ comments came hours after militant forces overwhelmed U.S. troops at two outposts near the Pakistan border, killing eight Americans, and amid growing government fissures over whether to send thousands of additional forces into the fight.It was the heaviest U.S. loss of life in a single battle since July 2008, when nine American soldiers were killed in a raid on an outpost in Wanat in the same province, Nuristan. Obama’s senior advisers are set to meet twice this week to debate the administration’s evolving Afghan strategy, juggling political pressure from the left to scale back combat troops with an urgent call from military commanders to add forces to secure the country and enable government and economic-development advancements.

It’s great that the president is carefully thinking about what to do in Afghanistan…. It’s great that he knows much more then our troops and the generals on the ground know… It’s great to have people like Eugene Robinson [Continue...]
