Obama Calls For Israel to Return to 1967 Borders

Why stop at 1967AD?  I say let Israel go back to their 968BC borders:

White House in a Tizzy.

The White House still wants to know who leaked Obama’s State of the Union address

Obama's senior political adviser David Plouffe and other White House aides are "quietly trying to ferret out who leaked" the speech.
...
The leak prompted grumbling from the president himself, who was caught on mic griping about it to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as he made his way to the podium.

"I don't need to deliver it now," Obama said of his speech. "Everybody saw it."

Aaaaawww

Too Funny to Pass Up

'Cause you know I'm just a thoroughly un-PC  kinda guy (from Curmudgeonly & Skeptical):

Preach It Brother!

Another home run, a three-run dinger no less, from Orson Scott Card; Obama Spits on the Constitution. Here's the Cliff Notes version:

What do you do if you're President and you want to nominate an extreme leftist to be in charge of American banking and consumer lending?

...

Here's what you do, if you're Barack Obama. You appoint her to a much lower-level position, an advisory one that doesn't require Senate confirmation. But then you instruct the Secretary of the Treasury not to interfere with any of her decisions and make sure they're carried out.

...

If the Republican Party had any spunk, they would respond to this outrage by introducing a resolution of impeachment in the House of Representatives.

...

This is what dictatorship looks like, boys and girls. And Obama has been doing it all along. What do you think his "czars" are?

...
Read and heed.

Strange Coincidences

Earthquake in Maryland: D.C. area rocked

The U.S. Geological Survey reported a 3.6 magnitude earthquake centered in Montgomery County at 5:04 a.m. Friday. The epicenter was in Gaithersburg near I-270 and Route 124 (39.145 degrees N, 77.222 degrees W), USGS reported in a preliminary finding. Its depth was 3.1 miles.

Was this the metaphorical shaking of the dog as a flea leaves it's back?

Obama Family Heads to Maine for Two Day Vacation

The Obama family leaves Friday at 9:45 am and arrive in Bar Harbor at 11:45 am

Hmmm. It's only off by less than 5 hours.

The Neophyte

I just watched the first 2 minutes of President Obama's recent Fox News interview; frankly that's all I could stand of it.  Interesting though was his statement from 1:23 to 1:45.  In that stretch he invalidated his own party's attempt at obfuscation via the "Slaughter rule" by saying a vote for or against the bill, regardless of the procedural means by which it happens, is a vote for or against his health care reform. 

This was a rookie move in at least two ways,  First, he is so fixated on getting this particular bill passed that he has become completely oblivious to the fact that the vast majority of Americans do not want this health care reform bill.  He is driving his presidency onto the rocks for this and hopefully he'll be a one-term President as a result.

Secondly, he is taking Democrat control of the House, and probably the Senate too, down with him.  By declaring this vote a vote for or against his health care plan he has taken away a "get out of jail free" card from the Democrat reps who are up for re-election who support his bill.  Those that vote for it, regardless of the procedural maneuvers by which it comes to a vote, can no longer insulate themselves from the voters' anger by claiming they didn't really vote for the bill.  All their opponents have to do is trot out that clip and hoist them on the petards of their own President.

The dude is a clueless neophyte.

Another funny video:

How the Mighty Have Fallen

Heard on the radio today that the count of Tiger mistresses is up to 14.

Also heard that Obama's approval rating has dropped below 50%.

Here's my comment to both of them:

The Bow-er, Part 3

Obama bows to yet another foreign leader. This time it's the Chinese premier. Check out this video from his visit.
Note his bow to the premier at the conclusion of Wen Jiabao's remarks. Here's a still capture in case you missed it:

Now rewind the video and check out how he greets other Chinese officials who are shorter than him with a simple nod. That puts the lie to apologist claims that he was merely leaning over to greet a shorter individual. Clearly he's showing significant deference to the Chinese premier.

And it appears to have happened more that once during his visit. Note that the background and surroundings are completely different from the video above.

Throw the incompetent quisling out before he disgraces himself and and this country to every nation around the world.

Humor: Obama, Biden and Finances

From Curmudgeonly & Sceptical:

To Bow or not to Bow (again)

For those who have not seen it here's the picture of The One bowing subserviently to the Emperor of Japan:
Check out the video of his meeting here. Observe not only the bow but his continued ducking of the head while conversing with the emperor and his wife. His whole body language is that of subservience. Once could be a mistake, but this is not the first time; there clearly is a pattern here. Disgusting to see from our head of state.

This quote from the article caught my eye: "an unnamed, senior Obama administration official told the Politico.com news site that the president had simply been observing protocol." [emphasis added] What protocol? Other heads of state do not observe such protocol. Previous Presidents have not observed such protocol and have been rightly criticized if they even come close. Whoever is advising the President on protocol needs to be replaced. Maybe they think it funny to have him bow subserviently to other foreign leaders but such behavior reflects negatively on our country.

President Obama needs to remember that he is the President of the United States, not some country bumpkin or inner-city gang-banger touring the world for the first time. "Thou need not bow" has been the rule from day one of this country reflecting the core principle upon which this country founded that is we are republic not a monarchy, a nation of equals equal among the nations, bowing to no one and having no one bow unto us.

More Racist Projection

Wilson's son says Congressman is not racist

Responding to an audience question at a town hall at his presidential center in Atlanta, Carter said Tuesday that Wilson's outburst was also rooted in fears of a black president.

"I think it's based on racism," Carter said. "There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president."

"There is not a racist bone in my dad's body," said Alan Wilson, an Iraq veteran who is running for state attorney general in South Carolina. "He doesn't even laugh at distasteful jokes. I won't comment on former President Carter, because I don't know President Carter. But I know my dad, and it's just not in him."

Jimmy Carter is full of manure. When will Obamanauts get it through their head that we disagree with what he is doing because of what he is doing, not because of his skin color. IMNSHO it's pure projection on the part of the old peanut farmer.

Obama Administration Dissimulation

From the UK (found via New England Republican): "No.10 turns on Obama and Clinton for criticising decision to release Lockerbie bomber"

President Obama and the US Secretary of State fuelled a fierce American backlash against Britain, claiming Abdelbaset Al Megrahi should have been forced to serve out his jail sentence in Scotland – but a senior Whitehall aide said their reaction was ‘disingenuous’.

British officials claim Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton were kept informed at all stages of discussions concerning Megrahi’s return.

The officials say the Americans spoke out because they were taken aback by the row over Megrahi’s release, not because they did not know it was about to happen.

Such hypocrisy. I wish I could say I was surprised.
