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.
I was a tad confused about all this, so made a timeline. I think the following provides an extraoardinary peek into what a mess the Democrat Party is these days.
September 4, 2012: Democrats made some extraordinary changes to their platform for 2012.
God
2008 platform: “We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.”
2012 platform: “We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth – the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us.”
Palestinian refugees
2004 platform: “The creation of a Palestinian state should resolve the issue of Palestinian refugees by allowing them to settle there, rather than in Israel.”
2008 platform: The peace process “should resolve the issue of Palestinian refugees by allowing them to settle there, rather than in Israel.”
2012 platform: No language on the matter.
Hamas
2008 platform: “The United States and its Quartet partners should continue to isolate Hamas until it renounces terrorism, recognizes Israel’s right to exist, and abides by past agreements.”
2012 platform: No mention of Hamas.
Jerusalem
2004 and 2008 platforms: “Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel…It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.”
2012 platform: No language on the matter.
Israel’s security
2008 platform: Spoke of a “commitment which requires us to ensure that Israel retains a qualitative edge for its national security and its right to self-defense.”
2012 platform: “The administration has also worked to ensure Israel’s qualitative military edge in the region.” Includes no commitment to doing so in the future.
September 4, 2012: Senior Democrat Senator Dick Durbin refuses over and over to answer the question, “Why did the Democrats do this?” [2:55]
July 26, 2012: Durbin’s refusal to answer a simple question is exactly the same UNtransparent baloney that Obama’s PR head pulled just five weeks ago when he refused over and over again to answer the question, “What is the capital of Israel?” [:51]
September 5, 2012: Dem honchos force reinstatement of God and Jerusalem despite the vociferous anger of the Nays over what was clearly NOT a 2/3 majority Yay vote [3:21]
September 6, 2012: Sources close to the platform drafting process said Obama personally intervened about reinstating the Jerusalem language. Israel’s Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin says the DNC knew exactly what they were doing when they left that stuff out and that Obama only put it back because it was going to cost him votes, not because he believes in America’s commitment to Israel.
Theologian Paul Begley of Indiana does a ten minute sermon on Michelle’s Jesus reference of April 17, 2012. He is NOT pleased!
Personally, I think Begley is being way too generous to Michelle in passing this off as a faux pas by her speech writers. This Obama-as-Jesus meme has been going on for years and the Obamas have both actively participated in it.
I’ve been collecting stuff about the Left’s elevation of Obama to some kind of divinity. [Brace yourself. There is some serious sacrilege here.]
After Michelle’s speech, there was an uproar from Christians, who conveniently do not put out fatwas on heretics like the Obamas (which is no doubt why they are NOT comparing Obama to Mohammed). Still … while there were no calls for stoning or beheading, there was enough outrage from Christians that the White House talking head tried to spin it that Michelle had not been referencing Jesus and the Bible, but Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz.
Yeah, right. Maybe in some all-gay neighborhood, the audience would think “Oz”, but Michelle Obama was speaking in the Bible Belt, for crying out loud!
Besides that, exactly one skinny week after Michelle’s speech, the Christian uproar and Jay Carney’s spin cycle, Barack Obama himself put on this “Can I have an Amen on that” for students at UNC.
We’ve seen how Obama treated the Catholic bishops’ protest over the HHS mandate.
March 6, 2012: Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic bishops, has released a public letter today detailing a stunning conversation he and other bishops had with top White House officials about the controversial Obama HHS mandate. The bishops were asked to come to the White House to “work out the wrinkles” of the mandate, but when they got there, were just told that, as far as Obama et al. are concerned, the mandate is carved in stone.
The White House Press Secretary sneered at the bishops, saying they had always opposed Health Care anyway, which is just flat out wrong. Most of them have supported it for decades, ignoring the warning bells tolled by the minority about exactly what has come about. Dolan said, “The White House seems to think we bishops simply do not know or understand Catholic teaching.” http://www.lifenews.com/2012/03/06/cardinal-obama-admin-lectured-bishops-on-catholic-teaching/
How blatant and in our faces do they have to get before people of faith embrace the FACT that this administration HATES US?
After reading the following, if you still have ANY doubts that Barack Hussein Obama and his peeps are incompetent boobs who need to be put out to pasture post haste, I really hope you’ll make an appointment to have your head examined.
On March 19, 2012, Vice President Joe Biden told the crowd at a Democratic fundraiser in Morris Township, NJ:
“You can go back 500 years. You cannot find a more audacious plan. Never knowing for certain. We never had more than a 48 percent probability that he was there. Do any one of you have a doubt that if that raid failed that this guy would be a one-term president? This guy is willing to do the right thing and risk losing.”
In May 2011, President Obama ordered two dozen American SEALS to chopper into terrorist leader Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan and capture or kill him. The successful raid ended a man-hunt that had begun during the Clinton administration.
Audacious? Maybe. Certainly the SEALs were bold and daring. But Biden wasn’t referring to the guys who actually put their lives on the line in the raid.
He was referring to President Obama’s alleged audacity in ORDERING the assault. Because, holy crap, if bin Laden hadn’t really been there, that would have damaged Obama’s popularity!
And the White House backed Biden up on this assessment.
“I think he [Biden] meant that the decision the president made … was a very difficult one,” press secretary Jay Carney told reporters at his daily briefing. The intelligence that bin Laden actually lived at that particularly compound was of “high quality” but “not conclusive.”
“In the end, he had to make a very fateful decision,” said Carney. “Obviously, it would have been a different story if bin Laden had not been in that compound.”
So was Biden right to say Obama’s decision to order the raid was more bold, more daring than say … General Eisenhower’s decision to launch the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944?
“The historical assessments I’ll leave to him and others, but there’s no question that this was a very very difficult decision,” Carney said.
Did the vice president misspeak?
“No,” Carney said.
Oh. My. God.
How audacious exactly WAS General Eisenhower’s decision to launch the D-Day invasion when he did?
Only a few days in each month were suitable for the plan to succeed. They needed a full moon and clear skies for night-time navigation by sea and air, plus calm seas during a spring tide to get landing craft over the crap the Germans had dumped into the water off the beaches.
Based on the moon and the tides, General Eisenhower tentatively selected June 5 as the best date. But on June 4, the weather was terrible.
The next full moon and high tide period would be nearly a month away, giving the enemy weeks more to figure out where the invasion landing site was and position troops to intercept it.
Making the right choice to go or to wait was vital.
On June 5, Eisenhower’s chief meteorologist told him he thought there might be a brief improvement in the weather on June 6.
Some of Eisenhower’s generals said go. Some said wait. Eisenhower had to make the critical decision. And it wasn’t his approval ratings or potential re-election that was at stake. It was the entire Allied offensive.
More than 5,000 ships and some 160,000 troops were set to hit a 50-mile stretch of French coastline in the largest amphibious invasion in world history. Another 24,000 parachute troops were set to be flown in and dropped off behind enemy lines.
All of these lives, plus the lives and freedom of all the citizens of all the countries that the Nazis had conquered were on General Eisenhower’s head as he made the critical decision to launch the invasion based on the iffy weather report of a single meteorologist and the contradictory advice from his top generals.
It proved to be the right decision. The invasion turned the tide of World War II and ultimately led to the defeat of the Nazi scourge.
Yet … according to the Obama White House, Eisenhower’s decision that night was NO WHERE NEAR as BOLD and DARING as Barack Obama’s decision to risk two dozen SEALS and a few popularity points based on “high quality” intelligence the CIA had spent more than a decade and tens of millions of dollars gathering.
I must confess I enjoyed reading yesterday’s comments as much as I have any in quite a while.
Chrissy and I spend hours researching and posting for you,and we do it out of love.
But the best soloist in the world cannot replicate the fullness of a choir.I know you all appreciate our work,but it is meant to stimulate you to express how you feel.Getting people involved is the only way for our little group to grow.We are surely facing some trying times ahead and we need to support each other to keep our focus on what’s really important.
GP,I could only be your bodyguard if you can come up with bail money.I’m not in physical condition for a confrontation so it’s easier to just shoot somebody.I don’t suffer fools lightly and I don’t intimidate well.
SCOTUS MAY POSTPONE OBAMACARE RULING UNTIL 2016
It makes it that much more important to elect a real Republican and take control of the Senate this year.Remember Bush signed McCain-Feingold thinking that SCOTUS would surely overturn it.They didn’t.Take absolutely nothing for granted. http://www.therightscoop.com/four-more-years-scotus-may-postpone-obamacare-ruling-until-2016/
SHARPTONGUE LASHES OUT AT ‘FAKE CHRISTIANS,’ LIKE FRANKLIN GRAHAM
Keep in mind this pile of chocolate goo started his street-corner preachin’ at the age of 5. He’s gotten bigger physically,especially his piehole.Emotionally,he’s regressed.
When I was 8,I joined the Cub Scouts.At 11 I went into the Boy Scouts as a rite of passage,as many boys did back then.There was a local Scout camp about 30 miles south of where we lived.We went there for a couple summers straight.One summer we wanted to go to Camp Northwoods in Watersmeet,Michigan.I don’t recall what the trip cost back then,but it was considerable.We didn’t want to sell popcorn because every other scout troop was doing it.Your humble correspondent came up with an idea.
We went to Hoople’s Grain and Feed Store(it’s still there)and got stacks of empty feed sacks.Living on a dairy farm,I had an unlimited supply of fresh manure to sell for fertilizer.One kid’s dad was a graphic designer and he made us a big sign for our roadside stand.The sign read:BUY YOUR BS FROM THE BSA. We sold enough for every kid to go to the Northwoods.True story.
INDOCTRINATING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN TO OBAMA’S AWESOMELY AWESOME AWESOMENESS
All Hail Big (soul) Brother!
BILL SEEKS TO REINSTATE DEATH PENALTY IN IOWA
At the risk of sounding like a Neanderthal,I’m in favor of a national death penalty with a five year limit on appeals.Kill a police officer,a child or an elderly person and you WILL die.Preferably a public hanging.Maybe some of these droopy-pants,gang sign-flashing,drug-dealing bastards would think twice about beating a 90 year old woman to death for the few dollars in her purse.So I’m a vindictive old fossil.Deal with it.
TODAY WOULD BE RONALD WILSON REAGAN’S 101ST BIRTHDAY.
WE MISS HIM STILL
Re:yesterday’s subject:Grandma was fond of saying ‘Profanity is the feeble attempt of a weak mind to express itself forcefully.’ I NEVER FORGOT IT.
PETE HOEKSTRA IS RUNNING FOR THE SENATE AGAINST DEBBIE SPENDITNOW.THE LEFT IS DISPLAYING THEIR USUAL INDIGNANT PUFFERY OVER THE AD.PETE DEFENDS IT.I THINK IT’S CUTE AS HELL.
LET THE WOOKIE EAT RED VELVET CAKE
After that she can start on a crusty old pair of my shorts.
CAMPAIGN DONATIONS FLAGGING,OBAMA URGES RICH TO BACK NEW SUPER PAC
Remember when he sat the Supremes in the front row at SOTU a couple years ago then ambushed them over the Citizens United decision?I do.
JAY CORNHOLE:PEOPLE DROPPING OUT OF THE WORKFORCE IS ‘ECONOMIC POSITIVE’
They can get unemployment under 8% if they can get another million people to quit looking for work so they don’t have to count them.
ILLINOIS CARP HUNTERS RELEASE NEW VIDEO
I’ve fished this part of the Illinois River for Walleye and White Bass(sometimes called stripers,because of their markings.)PETA’s all upset,but Asian carp are nasty,voracious feeders who grow as long as they live and starve out natural fish populations.I must admit,though,I’ve never worn a football helmet while fishing.
Grab your favorite drink and get comfortable–my cup runneth over.Over my shirt,my pants,the keyboard and the desk.Damn,that coffee’s hot.
Tonight the Pharaoh speaks to his subjects.They all marvel at his oratorical skills.Personally,his voice is like dragging a sled down a dry sidewalk. Unfortunately I will miss the show due to previous committments.I plan to arrange the spices in the cupboard in alphabetical order.
My guess is the speech will go something like this:
‘inherited a mess…worst economy since the Depression…’
‘call on republicans to work with me…blah,blah,…bipartisanship…blah,blah’
‘tax breaks for millionaires…pay their fair share…blah,blah’
‘opportunity for the middle class…blah,blah’
‘renewable energy…blah,blah’
‘job not finished…need more time…blah,blah’
I heard a snippet on the radio this morning that he may have a surprise announcement on energy.Could it be he realizes that he stepped on his own penis when he nixed the Keystone XL deal?His opinion hasn’t changed and certainly won’t.But if Newt is the nominee,he will disembowel him over it,especially if gas prices spike as predicted.
The GOP elitists are pulling that tired ‘date night’ crap to show how they get along.Why don’t they just rent a Howard Johnson’s and get it over with?Because they’re not screwing each other–it’s us.
DEMOCRATS’ THREE YEARS WITHOUT A BUDGET IS ALL ABOUT DECEPTION
Today marks 1,000 days since these yellow rat bastards have offered a budget.You can guess why.
A GOOD (AND LUCKY) NIGHT FOR ROMNEY
I didn’t see the debate–I go to bed too early.From what I’ve read he had Newt on his heels.
He better do something–he’s outspent Newt $7 million to $.0007 million.
OBAMA:ROE V. WADE GIVES DAUGHTERS SAME CHANCE AS SONS FOR ‘FULFILLMENT’
Rant warning!
When this festering piece of shit was a state senator,the Illinois version of the federal Born Alive Infant Protection Act came up in 2001,2002 and 2003.This boil on the buttocks of humanity killed it in committee all three times.There was a nurse who worked,ironically,at Mercy Hospital who testified before congress.I don’t recall her name.I do recall her tears and the way her voice cracked when she spoke of holding a newborn who had survived an attempted abortion and holding him until he quit breathing.Most of these innocent souls were put in a soiled linen closet until they died from neglect.The reasoning this spawn from Hell gave?The mother wanted to get rid of it anyway.Hey,Bamster,don’t want your daughters punished with a baby?Tell them to keep their f…king legs closed!I remember when my first daughter was born.So tiny,so frail,dependent on us for everything.How anyone can put such a precious gift from God in a closet to die is beyond my comprehension.Maybe one of you ladies who’s had children can tell me how you can do that.This,possibly more than anything, is at the root of my complete revulsion for this despicable bastard.
BOEHNER TELLS MEMBERS TO DRESS APPROPRIATELY–YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
I’d show up in shorts,a Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses carrying a sign: “I’m going to Disney World,too.”
I’m such an asshole.
“The American conservative base has had to put up with being called stupid, racist, greedy and unfair for decades by not only the Democrats but the vast majority of the media. The pent up frustration of these decades is magnified by the fact that George H. W. Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush and John McCain would not or perhaps could not confront this.”
A NOTE ABOUT NEWT’S $300,000 FINE FOR ETHICS VIOLATION
In case you forgot–this was the last of 84 ethics violations filed by human pusbag David Bonior.All had been dismissed as frivolous.This is the same tactic the left used on Sarah Palin after she went back to Alaska.The last complaint was about a PAC Newt was connected to funding a college course he was teaching.They made a huge deal out of the fact he had to borrow the money from Bob Dole.A year,one full year later, the ethics committee found no wrongdoing in what he did but by that time the damage was done.Remember when you see these ads on TV that Romney is no better than a democrat.
ILLINOIS SENATOR MARK KIRK(RINO-IL)SUFFERS STROKE
Fearless prediction:democrats will soon be calling for Kirk to step down so our current governor and candidate for an orange jumpsuit can put Obama’s former seat in the hands of the true owners,the democrats.Keep in mind that Tim Johnson,dem. senator from North Dakota, suffered a brain aneurism which left him an invalid.The democrats refused to have him replaced for the rest of his term,almost two years and wheeled him onto the Senate floor when they needed his vote,much like the late and unlamented Robert ‘Sheets’ Byrd.
IMMIGRATION RELEASES ILLEGAL HAITIAN MAN BECAUSE OF OBAMA’S STUPID DEPORTATION RULES.HE THEN SLAUGHTERED THREE INNOCENT PEOPLE.
Hey,GOP–ever hear of Willie Horton?It works if you have the balls to do it.
This sounds just like when McCain surrendered two weeks before the election and told us we had ‘nothing to fear’ from Obama.This is the kind of bullshit we’ve been fed for far too long.
Keep in mind Dumbo gave Petrobras $2 billion for drilling and said we would be their biggest customer.A majority stockholder in Petrobras is George Soros,but that’s purely a coincidence.
