History tells us that after there was no more of the known world left to conquer,Alexander the Great wept.It is not beyond reason to think Obastard likewise felt something of a tinge (someone bereft of compassion has no capacity for sorrow or tears) when he came to the reality that he could no longer do the only thing in life he was ever any good at…campaigning. He will spend the next four years preening for an adoring mob and exacting revenge on the people of this country who are everything he is not: hard-working,honest,independent, spirit-filled families that endure what comes and attach no blame for their circumstance.They raise their children in the ideal that nothing of worth ever comes easy or without effort.
In all likelihood we will,indeed,careen over the “fiscal cliff” because that’s precisely what he wants.He doubled down on his demand for tax increases and now has $1.6 trillion as a target.He knows the republicans would be committing political suicide by surrendering to this magnitude of fiscal thievery and,of course,the resultant maelstrom will be blamed entirely on the GOP by his loyal bootlickers in the media. There will be multitudes of illegal,immoral, unconstitutional acts perpetrated by the left and the bastard’s overt duplicity will ,of course,be ignored or dismissed out of hand.
The regime knew of Gen. Petraeus’ trysts for some time and held it over his head like the sword of Damocles.He foolishly thought if he gave in to their extortion they would cover for him.He served his country with honor,but he doesn’t know shit about liberals.He is testifying today behind closed doors and will ‘revise’ his remarks about the Benghazi murders being a protest.I know there are several gold-digging bimbos involved,but I don’t care enough to get into the details.All I know is that the administration allowed the affair to go on and jeopardize national security.
The Palestinian killers were elated that Brother Hussein will be around for the next few years so they can go forward with their plans to attack Israel with impunity.America will stand by and watch.Israel knows it too,and unlike what we’re stuck with,they have a leader who really does love his country and is willing to kill those who would destroy her.Would that we had a leader with an iota of the stuff Mr. Netanyahu is made of.Unfortunately we’re stuck with what we got.
For those who have staff to keep them organized, chronic tardiness is a pretty sure sign of arrogance.
The President of the United States has LOTS of staff.
Nevertheless, in Obama’s first two weeks in office, he was 10 minutes late to a memo signing ceremony, 30 minutes late to a bill signing ceremony and 45 minutes late to a ceremony to introduce economic advisers.
His lack of punctuality set the tone for his underlings that it was okay to be late. In those same two weeks, his press secretary Robert Gibbs was routinely late for daily news briefings, sometimes by more than an hour.
[Interestingly, fellow Democrat President Clinton was also known for being chronically late, while both Republican Presidents Bush were known for punctuality.]
This pattern of arrogant disregard for others was clearly established long before Obama’s rise to the Oval Office. The video here strings together eleven different instances during his brief tenure in the U.S. Congress when he arrived late to important meetings, having missed testimony and wasted the time of those who were where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there. [1:19]
He has kept it up throughout his tenure in the White House and demonstrated that, without question, his behavior is driven by sheer arrogance.
One of the most egregious examples dates from March 2010 when, in the middle of a White House meeting with Israel’s top leader, Obama told Netanyahu he was going up to the residence to have dinner in private with his wife and daughters. He told Netanyahu to wait if he wanted. Or not. Then he walked out.
Can you imagine ever doing such a thing to one of your guests? Can you imagine ever having this done to you when you are in someone else’s home? It boggles the mind.
But what goes around comes around. According to Bob Woodward of Watergate fame, when Obama phoned his contribution in to a meeting with his Democrat leadership, Nancy Pelosi pushed the MUTE button and Obama apparently never noticed nobody was listening. [:59]
And this week, when Obama put in a call to Great Britain’s Prime Minister, Cameron blew him off in favor of playing a third set of tennis.
The week of September 10-14, 2012, featured deadly anti-American violence in Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, Tunisia and Sudan, including armed assaults on our embassies, which are sovereign U.S. territories. The following is what President Obama did …
Monday, September 10, 2012
Obama took the day off. Dunno why. Nobody else got it off.
Tuesday, September 11, 2012
At 8:45 AM, the President and the First Lady observed a moment of silence to mark the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, then they went to the Pentagon Memorial 9/11 ceremony. In the afternoon, the President visited Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. At 5:00 PM, the President and the Vice President met with Secretary of Defense.
Meanwhile …
Armed Muslim extremists attacked and burned our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, murdering our Ambassador and three security guards. Our State Department responded with apologies to the attackers for whatever we did that made them so mad at us. The Libyan government and citizenry apologized to the United States for the attack. Romney condemned the attack and the State Department’s apologies. The Obama campaign condemned Romney. Obama said nothing.
The White House let us know that Obama will be Much Too Busy to meet with the Israeli Prime Minister when Netanyahu visits the U.S. later this month, but that Barack will be squeezing an appearance on David Letterman into his “busy” schedule.
Last month, Obama arranged a meeting with Egyptian President Mohammad Morsi for later this month.Morsi is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood whose motto is, “Allah is our objective; the Quran is our law, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations.” Its most famous slogan, used worldwide, is “Islam is the solution.”
Wednesday, September 12, 2012
At 10:35 AM, the President finally got around to delivering a statement condemning the attack, then he went to the State Department for a meeting.
Then he went to a campaign event in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Thursday, September 13, 2012
At 1:10 PM, the President went to a campaign event in Aurora, Colorado.
Friday, September 14, 2012
In the morning, the President and the Vice President received the ONE AND ONLY Presidential Daily Briefing of the entire tumultuous week. It lasted all of THIRTY MINUTES.
Then, he and the First Lady welcomed the 2012 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams to the White House.
In the afternoon, Obama went to attend the Transfer of Remains Ceremony to the United States of the remains of the four Americans killed this week in Benghazi, Libya.
January 2009: Just days after he became President, Barack Obama chose to grant his first public interview to Al-Arabiya, a leading worldwide Arab satellite channel based in Dubai. In the interview, he assured Muslims that America was not an enemy.
November 2009: The White House released a photo of Obama talking on the phone to Prime Minister Netanyahu from the Oval Office. It shows him sitting back, with his feet up on the Resolute Desk; the photographer was in front of the desk, making the most prominent feature of the photo the soles of Obama’s shoes.
March 19, 2012: The White House released a photo of President Obama talking on the phone with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas from the Oval Office. It shows him sitting up straight, shoes totally out of sight.
In Middle Eastern cultures, it is a serious offense to show the soles of your shoes to someone. This is why that journalist threw shoes at President Bush and the heavy media coverage of that insult ensured that the insult Obama sent Israel with these photos was not only understood in the Middle East, but here as well.
May 2011:The White House released photos of Obama’s Oval Office meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which Obama’s anger and loathing for the Israeli leader are readily apparent.
July 26, 2012: Obama’s Press Secretary absolutely refused to say where Israel’s capital is [:51]
July 29, 2012: During his visit to Israel, Mitt Romney publicly referred to Jerusalem as “the capital of Israel.” Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said,
Mitt, I want to thank you for those very strong words of support and friendship for Israel and for Jerusalem that we heard today in your speech by the walls of Jerusalem. Jerusalem today is marking the destruction of the city thousands of years ago. As you see it’s been rebuilt by the Jewish people, open to all the three great faiths, vibrant, bustling, and as you said, Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, and Jerusalem will always be the capital of Israel. So welcome to Jerusalem, Mitt. [emphasis added by CtH]
Netanyahu and his wife Sara then had the Romneys over for dinner.
September 2, 2012:The Pentagon basically pulled out of a joint military exercise with Israel that had been scheduled for next month. A senior member of Israel’s security cabinet said,
This is the Obama administration’s response to the dinner party Netanyahu held in (Mitt) Romney’s honor. … There is no doubt that President Barack Obama, if he is reelected, will make Netanyahu pay.
Great discussions yesterday!Your comments on the horrendous decision that poor man made brought up views I,as a male of the species,had not considered.
OK,from Pete’s dictionary:
Whore (n): a girl who will give it to anybody
Slut (n): a girl who will give it to anybody but you
GREETINGS – Expenses related to the purchase or distribution of greetings, including holiday celebrations, condolences, and congratulations for personal distinctions (wedding anniversaries, birthdays, etc.), are not reimbursable.”
From “Franking Manual” (“Franking” is free postage to constituents)
4(a). Example of Nonfrankable Items
“Birthday, anniversary, wedding, birth, retirement or condolence messages and holiday greetings are prohibited.”
We put “In God We Trust” on our currency, but our elected representatives are not permitted to use the greeting that has passed lips throughout the world every year for centuries.
“So do I,” says William A. Jacobson at Legal Insurrection, “and I’m not even Christian. In fact, it annoys me when people refuse to say it. And please say Happy Hanukkah to me, not Happy Time When You Light All Those Candles For Some Reason.”
COMMENTS I liked from Jacobson’s posting:
* Your attitude is more universal than you might think, Professor….although I suspect you already know it. We live in a 90% Arab Muslim neighborhood, where some pundits allege they hate people like us, and virtually everyone says “Merry Christmas” to me, some even drop off small gifts. No one seems to have a problem with my die hard support for Israel and the Israeli people either … it has been the topic of multiple conversations, where I’m given the courtesy of listening, even if agreement isn’t generally there … as I explain why I feel as I do. No small thing, in my opinion, since they also all know I was Army until I retired.
* Dennis Prager, a Jew, wrote a wonderful column, which he uses as a basis for a speech he gives to corporations about not renaming the Christmas Party the “Holiday Party.” As he says, being invited to the Christmas Party as a Jew or Muslim or atheist, etc., shows that Americans are inclusive. I love the fact my kids have come home on numerous occasions with dreidels with which they’ve played and sung songs. That’s America.
* I don’t know why, but it’s always around this time of year that there are a couple of young law-student looking types with petitions on clipboards outside my local Trader Joes asking customers exiting the store to sign something for the ACLU. The last time they asked me, I politely said with a smile, “No thank you, but I wish you guys a Merry Christmas!” The sour, silent expressions I got were priceless. They looked like they wanted to stone me then and there.
Word of warning:I’ve been in a crummy mood lately.I’ll try to stay coherent long enough to post a couple things.
As I sit here typing this,I’m wearing an ugly flowered shirt,sitting under a heat lamp and sipping a rum and diet cola trying to emulate our beloved leader,Barack Hussein Obama.mmm…mmm…mmm.
At the APEC meeting in Hawaii he decided he and the gang of international despots would forego wearing Hawaiian shirts because it would look bad to flaunt their corruption while the world burns.
He could have created 100,000 jobs,but chose to kowtow to the enviro-wackos who stuff his pockets with cash.The unions wanted the jobs,but where else are they going to go?Canada plans to sell the oil to China because they can’t afford to wait out Obama.
CHELSEA CLINTON TO WORK AS SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT FOR NBC NEWS
I’m certain she got the job based solely on her looks,brains and talent.Being the spawn of an Arkanses grifter and a power-obsessed shrew had nothing to do with it.

Uh,Mooch,these cars don’t have doors.If you want the free ride you feel you’re entitled to,you have to squeeze your big ass in through the window.Luckily,all NASCAR events have emergency crews with the jaws of life standing by.
He’s more diplomatic than I would be to this pack of tinpot dictators sucking up taxpayer money, acting like snotty children and taking up valuable real estate.Pull out of the UN and send them to Geneva or someplace.
