But...but... BUUUTTTT Ooooaaakkkeee! He's sthuper Cereal! (quote from "South Park"-ManBearPig)

In truth? The media will go right back to being on their knees, and holding Obama's (deleted for a family hour) in their collective (deleted for a family hour).

With Obama just whispering as he strokes Rachel Maddow's hair outta her eyes saying "Ssshhhh, just let this happen, it's all good. You know I love you baby."

Yes, bad visual, but that lil' bit of bile that just raised into your throat? Ain't gonna compare to the bile that'll raise when he becomes "TEFLON PRESIDENT, PART II!" (Ala' Bill "Ah did nah have sex-eel relations with tha' woman!" Clinton)

This is my .02. I think this is going to be bad for the admin...really bad. They cannot say "The president and everyone here had nothing to do with F&F." Then say "The president and his staff had nothing to do with the Bengazi dereliction of duty and cover up." Then say "No one in our administration knew anything about the IRS directives" Then say "no one in our administration had anything to do with wiretapping the AP." Someone is going to ask if they are absent with out leave for all of these things...what are we paying these idiots for!

Obama is one slick snake, but you cannot say with any amount of credibility that as president you and your staff knew nothing about any of this. I think Obama could get out of F&F, Bengazi was going to be a stretch, but he was going to try dump it on Hillary, Susan Rice, and a speech writer. Add on the IRS and the AP wire tapping-- now all four scandals will come down on his head. His only defense now, is that he is an empty shirt in which case he should be tossed out for not doing his job.

Couldn't happen to more deserving people.

IIRC we're about due for the next cooling cycle. I suspect (i.e. have no evidence to support it) the wacky weather of the last 10-20 years might be the tempest before the change starts settling in consistently.

Don't even get me started on the CO2 boogeyman....that one really pisses me off.

I should have specified man made global warming. I am a bit of a weather buff and get irritated when every natural cycle is attributed to man made global warming.

I don't hold out much hope for the elections. The border problems we have will continue to allow undocumented Democrats into the country to swing elections to the left for the forseeable future. There has been some talk of the conservative nature of the UD's (belief in God, family, etc.), but that all appears to be a load of hooey. The over-riding factor for them is free stuff paid for with tax dollars from the working class. Until we end entitlements, this cycle will continue to worsen. So, it will continue. Just watched an interview with Walter E. Williams from about two years ago (posted below). The last two minutes are shocking.

If we want to curtail entitlements we had better win a few elections. The other side would be perfectly happy to steal everyone's wealth making over 30K a year and give it to druggies, slothful people, and welfare queens.

Lets not forget Obama was re-elected after
1, granting defacto amnesty
2 pulled executive privilege in the gun walker issue despite claiming to have a transparent admin
3, too many other things to list

This is what happens when people are afraid to vet a candidate because of his race. It could have been done in 2008, but did not matter by 2012.

Obama could do almost anything and get away with it. That is how sick of a society we have. This is what happens when anyone with a pulse can vote ( none needed in Chicago). You have mob rule.

Might be time to see how war between the states part 2 will be as that would be more of the same and possibly worse.

All this happening in his administration and he keeps claiming that he knew nothing about it and had nothing to do with it. So, his answer to the charge of corruption is to claim incompetence?

A frind of mine sent thei to me in an email
May 14, 2013
The Pinocchio Presidency
D.L. Hammack


"If you like your doctor, then you can keep your doctor under the new Health Care Act" ...at least that's what we were told. "The Benghazi incident was the result of a spontaneous uprising over an offensive anti-Muslim video that went viral" ...at least that's what we were told. "I will, by the end of my first term, cut the deficit in half"...at least that's what we were told. "We don't have an immediate debt issue" ...at least that's what we were told. And the list of lies goes on...

At what point do we begin to question anything and everything that comes from this White House? When do the vast majority of Americans wake up to the nightmare that is destroying this country from within and begin to pay attention to the coordinated effort to make every incident a priority for political gain instead of what is right for the nation? Do we REALLY believe the unemployment numbers? What about the new changes to calculating the GDP... does this really gauge our progress, or are they telling another story that makes it appear that their policies are working? The bottom line is this: Can we trust that anything emitted out of Washington even resembles the truth?

The time has come for us to realize that the reverence we place on the office of the president is one that is earned by each occupant of that office. It is not something that is a given or a right. It should not be granted to the title holder just because of an election. Respect is earned and it comes from trust. Being told one lie after another is not the way to build a foundation of trust. For this president; that horse has left the barn.

Do you honestly trust this man and his minions after the blatant fabrications they have sold us? Answer this question: "If you had a friend who constantly lied to you, about issues both big and small, just how long would you continue to allow this friend around your family?" We must not adorn the occupant of the highest office in the land with automatic trust simply because that's how we've done it in our past.

When caught in an obvious lie, the laughable Jay Carney steps up as the mouthpiece for the administration and offers more depraved lies to cover those already told. One obfuscation -- for understandable reasons -- perhaps can be excused. After all, we are a forgiving nation. But a myriad of flagrant lies; all told for nefarious reasons, is inexcusable; particularly when some of those lies conceal the true reasons behind the deaths of four Americans. As Americans, we should all be ashamed that we have allowed this group of compulsive non-truth tellers to run roughshod over the country with virtually no consequences. We are a nation of laws, not a nation of lies!

It would appear, based on past performance, that this administration's connectivity to the truth is a questionable one at best. If we are to believe the "lead by example" cliché, then why is not right for me to lie on my financial statement to my bank? If it serves my need, then it must be acceptable, right?

It has been said that if you tell a lie enough times, it will soon become the truth. In this new America, the truth is what they tell us it is. Move on, there's nothing to see here, trust us. The truth in this new America is whatever it takes to gain votes, avoid issues that will cost votes, or whatever message will further the agenda of the president. We have now become a banana republic nation where lying seems to be a commonly accepted policy from our leaders. What comes next... intimidation of select groups by the IRS? Oh wait, that's been done.

Those of us who paid attention four years ago were perfectly aware of the potential for "Chicago politics" when this man began filling his cabinet and czar positions with radicals who would walk his line. Now those chickens have come home to roost.

Heard a great observation yesterday. BHO's only play on Benghazi, now that the media will force his hand, will be to throw Hilary under the bus. And there is no way the media is going to let THAT happen, because they are invested in Hilary 2016. Question is only whether the left will be sufficiently ticked off to do something about it, i.e. impeachment. To do so would be to admit that they were either 1) grossly incompetent all along, 2) captive to ideologues above all reason, 3) so blinded by political correctness that their judgment failed them.

Oh, what a spectacle. What I'm watching for now is the Big Misdirect. Look for it any day now, a major crisis, or revelation, or atrocity that BHO will use to channel all this energy in a different direction.

I used to get kicked out of history class for calling it the war between the states and telling the teacher that what she is calling history it's truly victors bragging rights. The only history that isn't like that it's military. I don't think the liberals will let our children learn it in the nanny state.

They will have some other terror threat or some grievous situation will arise.

The only thing I can say is be afraid.


In the last two minutes off that vid didn't surprise me at all. We know why Rome fell. I must ask, do we not see the same corruption? It will not be fixed at the polls (the movie Idiocracy I'd true). I don't know how long it will take to get there or how it will turn out with the current state of government build up. They know it is coming too.
