Is it polite to laugh at the President of the United States? I admit that I went through the “someone needs a hug” phase.  But his unrelenting arrogance killed that rather quickly.  So now I see something like a rat going through a maze:  He can smell the cheese but keeps on finding dead ends, so he backs up and tries another path.
With Obama it is calm talk, then staged town halls, then joint sessions of Congress, then girl-from-the-hood talk, and now an Oval Office speech.  He lacks utterly a simple devotion to doing his job.  He constantly looks over his shoulder to see if everyone is watching him.
He’s lost the leadership mantle because he’s proven he lacks the mettle for it.  He is now simply something to endure, like an infection until the meds kick in.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA):  ”The climate bill isn’t going to stop the oil leak.” Stopping the leak should come first, she said.  Good girl.  It is increasingly clear that all but the brain dead have had it up to their wooden teeth with Obama’s mode of doing business.  There is only one more act in the play:  At some point, Obama is going to engage a fleet of buses for house cleaning.  Salazar will naturally be the first.  But that’s easy.  Barry needs to remove Rahm and Axelrod.  There is no other way to save his presidency.  I doubt Rahm will allow himself to be removed.
We need to start watching Pakistan. From internal corruption to Taliban military successes, every day seems to bring news of a progressively less stable country.  It’s not much different than Egypt, but Obama and Europe’s press don’t cover that country.
We are witnessing the cost of a weak American Presidency:  People with Bad Intent feel much freer to act out.  Pakistan, I fear, is not far from making a deal with Iran in return for internal security.  That would be a bad thing, and would be heralded as a shock by the world community.  Bulls**t.  It’s close and the Beautiful People know it.
Put yourself in Pak’s shoes.  America is wildly inconsistent from Administration to Administration, and every dollar comes with a demand.  Iran can stop the warring and ensure employment for the current politicians.  An alliance with Iran will also give Pak a stronger hand against India.  The decision gets easier every time Obama opens his mouth.  Add a power-sharing accord in Afghanistan with the Taliban, and it’s a done deal.
“Declining to make a final statement, David Lee Powell was executed Tuesday for killing an Austin police officer 32 years ago as seven members of his victim’s family watched silently from a nearby window.”  Bye.
Obama bails on Egypt-Gaza wall; gives $400 million to terrorist group Fatah instead. Let’s look at a couple of portions the Fatah Constitution:
1.  Under “Goals”: Article (12) Complete liberation of Palestine, and eradication of Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence.
2. Under “Methods”: Article (17) Armed public revolution is the inevitable method to liberating Palestine. … Article (19) Armed struggle is a strategy and not a tactic, and the Palestinian Arab People’s armed revolution is a decisive factor in the liberation fight and in uprooting the Zionist existence, and this struggle will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished and Palestine is completely liberated.
Before you waste time commenting that the Oslo Accords addressed these, you better review your history a little more closely.  The PLO/Fatah never ratified Oslo, and none of the changes to the Fatah Constitution were implemented.  None.  Dead Terrorist Arafat’s signature on the Accord docs is worth the same as Obama’s signature on START 3:  Nothing without further ratifying action.  It never happened.
$400 million to Jew haters.  Nice one, Barry.  I know – the fence construction wasn’t going well anyway.  Hamas was stealing the steel plates, and on the subsurface ones were using blast heaters provided by Iran to trash them.  But you should have solved the problem – not bailed.  You always bail.  It’s so frustrating.
