Bryan Kemper reported from Columbus, OH, where President Obama was speaking and about 20 abortion abolitionists were demonstrating.
Of course we were greeted with the usual profanities, we were spit upon, we were yelled at, we were harassed by the Obama volunteer team, we were harassed by the police who demanded they had the right to create a special bubble to limit free speech and so much more. Those that did engage with us could never answer a single point we made and just changed the subject or started chanting “four more years”.
Then there were the people who would look at the photos of aborted babies and start cheering like they were at a football game or say things like “I’m hungry”, “yummy” or things I will not repeat in this report.
Even with all the opposition most people could not take their eyes off the signs, they were staring at them and just looked in shock. Our prayer is that they go home and contemplate what they saw and seriously reconsider what they think about abortion. They have seen the truth and we pray that it will sink in and God will change their hearts.
According to Edward Klein, author of The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House, it’s ludicrous to think the Clintons and the Obamas have ever become truly united at the forefront of the current Democratic Party.
Axelrod forced Obama to let Bill give a speech on August 27, 2008 at the Democrat convention; Bill helped stump for Barry in 2008, energizing the pro-Clintonites to get out the vote; and Obama made Hillary Secretary of State.
But, as I recall, the Clintons were not even at the convention the next day when Obama accepted the nomination. And the Obamas have never had the Clintons over to the White House for an informal dinner. Not once.
Klein’s sources tell him that, in recent weeks, Obama flipped the bird at Bill big time. Bill Clinton — lifelong Democrat, former two-term President of the United States, a man who managed to WIN his own re-election campaign — offered to help Barry with his debate prep. And the White House did not even bother to return his phone call.
And now Obama is making Hillary his Benghazi scapegoat … as if the Clintonistas will ever let THAT happen!
1. At the VP debate, Biden said, “We weren’t told they wanted more security. We did not know they wanted more security there.”
2. Obama’s Press Secretary, Jay Carney, said, “The Vice President was speaking about himself, the president, and the White House.”
3. Deputy National Security Advisor for Communications, Ben Rhodes, reiterated Carney’s spin – Biden’s “we” meant President Obama and Vice President Biden.
Not that Hillary Clinton doesn’t deserve the blame for Benghazi.
“Securing Our Embassies Overseas”
The Secretary of State, and by extension, the Chief of Mission (COM), are responsible for developing and implementing security policies and programs that provide for the protection of all U.S. Government personnel (including accompanying dependents) on official duty abroad.
Still, it has been the Obama administration’s policy from the get-go to pander to extremists and put left-wing political considerations ahead of absolutely everything. As far as I can see, HRC did exactly what she was supposed to do — i.e., see that Obama’s foreign policy was implemented at every level.
There’s no question the Clintons are far-left in their political beliefs; but when Hillarycare crashed and burned, costing Dems control of Congress, Bill and Hillary shifted to the middle and kept hold of their power for a full two terms. I think the story I told @ https://polination.wordpress.com/2012/10/12/the-lying-liars-in-the-obama-white-house/ demonstrates they have not changed. They’ll promote the leftist agenda as much as possible, but they are not about to take a bullet for Obama.
Not from the Book of Judges, Chapter 4 ;o) … When the Lord routed Sissybama and all his army, Sissybama ran away to the tent of his ally, Biller the Clintonite. Hillael, the wife of Biller, came out to meet him, saying “Come, come right in. Don’t be afraid.” So Sissybama went in and rested, trusting Hillael to keep watch for his enemies. But when he had fallen asleep, Hillael drove a tent peg through his temple into the ground, and he died.
I’m betting Prince Bogino, the first African-American wild animal tamer, managed to live to a ripe old age, because he was smart enough to never, ever forget that the animals he performed with were killers at heart.
Sunday, May 1, 2011: SEALs raided Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan and killed him.
Monday, May 2, 2011: The White House was blabbing about it the next day, thereby destroying any benefit we could have reaped from the intelligence gathered at the compound. The White House also leaked critical details about the mechanics and personnel of the raid itself, seriously compromising the safety of the men and their families and hurting the success of future operations.
Ever since: “Obama got bin Laden” has been a major them in Obama’s re-election campaign.
But who really “got” bin Laden?
Click on graphic to embiggen.
The White House version of the events leading up to the raid, as recounted by Vice President Joe Biden, is that the “entire national security apparatus” sat down in the Situation Room and Obama asked each one’s recommendation. According to Biden, it was 50-50, go-don’t go; as Obama “walked out the room, it dawned on me, he’s all alone. This is his decision. If he was wrong, his Presidency was done. Over.” Ever since, Obama, Biden and their surrogates have been showering accolades on Obama for having made “one of the most gutsiest calls of any president in recent memory.”
But that isn’t what others are saying. And it is not what the written record reveals.
Tuesday, May 3, 2011: Just 2 days after the raid, a secret “Deep Throat” source, known as White House Insider, reported to the Ulsterman blog that senior military and intelligence officials had deliberately by-passed President Obama on this decision. According to White House Insider,
President Obama was, in this case, as in all others, working as an absentee president.
There had been a push to invade the compound for several weeks if not months, primarily led by Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates, David Petraeus, and Jim Clapper. The primary opposition to this plan originated from Valerie Jarrett, and it was her opposition that was enough to create uncertainty within President Obama. Every time military and intelligence officials appeared to make progress in forming a position, Jarrett would intervene and the stalling would begin again.
Panetta warned that the fact they knew Osama bin Laden’s location was bound to get out; if Obama failed to do anything to capture him, the political backlash would cripple his administration. Jarrett totally nixed a bombing raid, which would have killed the terrorist leader with little risk to American lives, but agreed they could go along with a ground raid.
Nevertheless, when that raid was ready to go, Jarrett again convinced Obama to refuse permission. Obama’s then Chief of Staff Bill Daley fully supported Panetta, Clinton and Gates in going ahead with the raid and told them that, if the raid failed, he would disclose the president’s indecision to the American public. Panetta initiated the raid himself, keeping both President Obama and Valerie Jarrett out of the loop.
Wednesday, May 4th, 2011: Craig Whitlock, who covers the Pentagon and national security for the pro-Obama Washington Post, published a lengthy feature article about Admiral McRaven that strengthens the image of Barack Obama as a narcissist grotesquely taking credit for the operation:
“As US helicopters secretly entered Pakistani airspace Sunday, the Joint Operations Center at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan was under the control of a square-jawed admiral from Texas who had labored for years to find Osama bin Laden’s elusive trail. Vice Adm. William H. McRaven, one of the most experienced terrorist hunters in the US government, had tapped a special unit of Navy SEALs for the mission two months earlier. A former SEAL himself, McRaven had overseen weeks of intensive training for a covert operation that could cripple al-Qaeda if it worked, or strain an already troubled alliance with Pakistan if it went awry. The search for bin Laden was led by the CIA, which painstakingly pieced together scraps of intelligence that eventually pointed to a high-walled compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. … On Friday, [April 29, 2011] McRaven received the green light from Panetta to launch the raid at the earliest opportunity.”
Nearly a year later, TIME magazine published a memo written two days before the raid that matched up with the information above.
Friday, April 29, 2011: Memo by Director of the CIA Leon Panetta –
For the record
Received phone call from [Obama’s National Security Advisor] Tom Donilon who stated that the President made a decision with regard to AC1 [Abbottabad Compound 1]. The decision is to proceed with the assault.
The timing, operational decision making and control are in Admiral McRaven’s hands. The approval is provided on the risk profile presented to the President. Any additional risks are to be brought back to the President for his consideration. The direction is to go in and get bin Laden and if he is not there, to get out. Those instructions were conveyed to Admiral McRaven at approximately 10:45 am.
Leon Panetta, DCIA
This memo proves President Obama did not gather his team in a room and make a “gutsy call.” He didn’t even make the phone call to Panetta. And his operational instructions were absurdly vague, just to go “get” bin Laden.
Far from personally walking through every stage of the operation with his national security team, Barack Obama made sure that, should the mission fail, Admiral McRaven could be thrown under the bus for failing to “bring back for his consideration” whatever “additional risks” they’d encountered, no matter how trivial or last minute they might be.
And instead of protecting or evacuating the man who actually located where Osama bin Laden was living, the Obama administration’s self-glorifying leaks handed Pakistanis enough information to identify, arrest and sentence the man to more than 30 years in prison for helping a foreign intelligence agency.
May 29, 2011: Pakistani Doctor who found bin Laden for us [2:48]
April 30, 2012: Rush Limbaugh reported further evidence, from an anonymous source, that Panetta et al. had cut Obama and Jarrett out of the loop:
“They had to go call the president off the golf course and get him into that Situation Room an hour and a half before the attack so he was there for the photo-op. And if you’ll notice, if you’ve seen the picture of Obama looking with the deer-in-the-headlight eyes at the monitor supposedly of the op taking place, you see a golf shirt under that jacket that they put on him.”
May 1, 2012: A highly decorated former Navy SEAL named Chris Kyle said the following on the record regarding the Osama Bin Laden mission:
“In years to come there is going to be information that will come out that Obama was not the man who made the call. He can say he did and the people who really know what happened are inside the Pentagon, are in the military and the military isn’t allowed to speak out against the commander- in-chief.”
August 20, 2012: The UK’s Daily Mail reported they’d seen an advance copy of a new book by journalist Rich Miniter called Leading from Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors Who Decide for Him, in which Miniter, who has worked for the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times and London’s Sunday Times, cites an anonymous source within Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) revealing that in January, February and March of 2011, Valerie Jarrett talked President Obama into canceling three separate missions to kill bin Laden.
Everything Miniter says backs up White House Insider’s story and even expands it with more details.
According to his source,
Clinton, Panetta, Gates and Petraeus were the driving forces behind getting the successful May 2011 raid under way over Jarrett’s objections and Obama’s indecision.
Despite Obama’s and Biden’s public claims to have made getting bin Laden a TOP PRIORITY from the very first day of his administration, Obama was actually ‘studiously undecided’ about whether to kill the mastermind of 9/11, refusing “to weigh in or commit himself on even small matters related to a possible strike on bin Laden.”
Jarrett’s opposition was totally political. She worried about a backlash against the president if the operation failed, or even if it succeeded. She repeatedly reminded everyone that Obama had campaigned on the alleged “intelligence failures” of the Bush years and that there was no need to hand their political rivals a set of intelligence failures of their own.
Clinton used her weekly meetings to finally convince Obama of the political dangers of failing to act, but still Obama dithered, trying to again call the raid off the day before. The White House later said that “poor weather conditions” had prompted this final stalling tactic, but weather reports are public and prove conditions were ideal. It was just Obama getting his panties in a pucker.
October 11, 2012: A distinguished military analyst reported that a senior intelligence community source has leaked to him that President Obama did not even know of the raid in Abbottabad to kill Osama bin Laden on May 1, 2011, until after the helicopters with SEAL Team Six had crossed into Pakistani airspace.
The president was notified at the golf course and called back to the White House, which is why he appeared so calm at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner the night before and then went golfing as the mission was getting underway.
According to this source,
Director of Central Intelligence Leon Panetta was the key player who organized and supported this daring raid. He signed the “execute orders” with only a few people aware: Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Adm. Bill Mullen and Gen. David Petraeus.
The White House was closed out of the decision because the president, through Valarie Jarrett, had turned down two or three other earlier proposals. The deputy of central intelligence and his covert planning team were extremely frustrated at all the denials and saw the opportunity to get Osama bin Laden slipping away.
The source reports the decision to leak this information is due to the “boiling point” frustration within the State Department, the Department of Defense and the CIA, over the actions and cover-ups of the president and his administration hierarchy following the Libyan debacle in which our Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other brave and dedicated Americans were murdered by an al-Qaida affiliate.
Their frustration is understandable, since they knew that Al Qaeda was rebuilding in Libya and that a 9/11 anniversary attack was a serious threat. While they were not certain immediately after the attack exactly who was behind it, they were most certainly not telling the White House the thing was some spontaneous “OMG YouTube” demonstration that got out of hand.
October 11, 2012: During his debate with Paul Ryan, Vice President Biden AGAIN threw the intelligence community under Obama’s famous blame bus, saying the phony YouTube video excuse the White House had used for NINE DAYS after the Benghazi attack was “what we were told by the intelligence community. The intelligence community told us that. As they learned more facts about exactly what happened, they changed their assessment.”

The Obama State Department held a conference call with reporters tonight on the Benghazi terror attack. FOX is part of the White House press pool and is usually included. For this, FOX was excluded and had to do their report from a transcript of the call.
On Oct 10, 2012, the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee held a hearing to look into the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya.

Video embedded: Michelle Malkin weighs in on the Benghazi hearing from earlier today, saying that every single American concerned with national security and Americans abroad needs to watch all four hours of the hearing before they vote so that they can see deep, malicious, and reckless this administration has been with the lives of the Americans murdered on 9/11. She says it’s nothing but a bunch of crap weasels and lying liars trying to figure out behind the scenes who to hang out to dry. She also hammers the Dems for accusing Republicans of politicizing this while Obama drags Bin Laden’s dead body all over the swing states.
Oct 10, 2012 – Rep Mike Kelly Verbally Spanking the State Department at the Oversight [6:46]
Representative Mike Kelly, Republican from Pennsylvania had more than a few choice words for the State Department officials testifying that day. He quotes from the report,
“230 security incidents in Libya between June of 2011 and July of 2012. Of those attacks, 48 took place in Benghazi, two of which were at the diplomatic compound scene of the 9/11 2012 terrorist attack.”
Yet Obama’s top people claimed again and again that the 9/11 attack that left four Americans dead, including our Ambassador, was because of a YouTube video.
I read this article expecting to feel all “WTF are Republicans thinking to let this person be chosen as moderator?!” But I ended up feeling more “Heck, this could work to our advantage.”
The gist of the story is that, in 1991, Barack Obama was a guest at the Raddatz-Genachowski wedding. The bride, Martha Raddatz, will be the moderator at tomorrow’s VP debate. Barack Obama and her groom, Julius “Jay” Genachowski were classmates and members of the Harvard Law Review together. Jay aggressively fundraised for Barry and as President, Obama made him Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.
Martha Raddatz is also Chief White House correspondent for ABC News, a post she has held since November 2005. So, okay. I get the possible bias problem.
But consider this … the Raddatz-Genachowski couple divorced in 1997. Dearest was in the situation, guest at the first wedding of a school mate with whom he later partnered in a business venture. That couple also divorced after a handful of years. We only stayed in touch with the buddy. We went to his second wedding and have exchanged birth announcements, Christmas newsletters and occasional visits with them. We have had no contact with wife one or even any knowledge of her whereabouts.
Why would we? She was never a friend to Dearest, just the wife of his friend who suffered through a miserable marriage and painful divorce. She may be a wonderful person and no doubt has her own sad stories to tell about her crappy marriage etc. But our relationship to her was only through her husband. So I’m just thinking … if THAT woman had the chance to moderate a debate between someone she did not know and my husband, who is tainted by the bitter memories of her failed marriage, wouldn’t she be somewhat likely to have some prickly attitude lurking under her no-doubt “I’m a professional” demeanor?
Plus, there’s the other issue of Barack’s wedding gift. Brides do all the work of opening up, recording and sending thank you notes for wedding presents. I can still tell you who gave us the utensil set hanging on our kitchen wall 33 years ago this coming Saturday. And we are talking about the man who gave the Queen of England an iPod loaded with pictures and speeches of himself. It just crosses my mind that Martha may very well remember what cheap piece of crap he grabbed last minute at the airport or hotel gift shop, KWIM?
And it’s not like Paul Ryan can’t handle whatever she throws at him. She’s been on air for years and years, lots of footage for him to study to find her tells and weaknesses. I am really looking forward to this debate!
Two days ago, the Obama campaign blasted out another email claiming a report by Princeton economist Harvey Rosen says Romney’s tax cuts would require large tax increases on families making between $100,000 and $200,000.
Rosen says he has no idea how the Obama campaign “reached that characterization of my work.”
Sounds to me like a polite way of saying, “WTF did they come up with THAT?!”
According to Rosen himself (not Obama’s version of Rosen), the main conclusion of his study of Romney’s plan was that it could work just the way Romney says it would.
He also says the Tax Policy Center report, the one Obama referred to at the first debate, has three huge flaws in its assumptions.
(1) The TPC report assumes pro-growth tax reform can’t actually produce economic growth, when stimulating economic growth is the WHOLE POINT of the Romney tax cut plan.
(2) The TPC report assumes two tax expenditures worth $45 billion per year are not ‘on the table’ when they MOST DEFINITELY ARE.
(3) The TPC report assumes the costs of Obamacare are still in the budget, when Romney has been clear about REPEALING Obamacare.
Rosen says when you correct for these erroneous assumptions, Romney’s math checks out.
A. The government gets the money it sends us from the taxes paid by people who have jobs.
B. The more people who have jobs, the more tax revenue the government has to put into assistance programs and the fewer people who need it.
C. The fewer people who have jobs, the less tax revenue the government has to put into assistance programs and the more people who need it.
For four years, Obama has been failing to get Americans back to work again.
When Obama took office, 60.6% of our population was employed. Today, only 58.7% are employed.
When Obama took office, 11.6 million Americans were unemployed. Today, 12.1 million Americans are unemployed.
When Obama took office, 2.6 million Americans had been out of work for 27 months or longer. Today, 4.8 million are long-term unemployed.
Mitt Romney became wealthy creating jobs.
Bain Capital is one of the foremost private equity firms in the nation. It invests money in people with ideas who want to start new businesses and in businesses that are struggling or that want to expand. Bain itself employs about 115 employees. The companies it has helped create, build up and save from bankruptcy employ hundreds of thousands.
I’m in the 47% and I’m voting for Romney.
It’s simple really. I need my entitlement and I want the government to stay solvent so it will keep on sending it to me!
