Waffles and Uncle Joe actually went GOLFING right after the speech. But what the hey.
The Secretary of State went yachting while Egypt burned and his U.N. Ambassador missed an emergency UN Security Council meeting on Syria because she was at a comedy film festival in Ireland.
President Bush’s last round of golf was October 13, 2003. As much as he loved the game, he said,
“I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal. I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf.”
On Thursday, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, Secretary of State John Kerry, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper briefed 26 members of Congress about the situation in Syria.
Should we be surprised? No.
He played cards while Seal Team Six went after bin Laden.
Obama also sent Dennis Rodman to meet on his behalf with NoKo’s brutal dictator.
You really have to watch this video to get the full flavor of what a SICK JOKE Obama is for sending the likes of Dennis Rodman to represent the United States of America. Talk about rodeo clowns.
Rodman Discusses Trip To North Korea – Kim Jong-un is “a great guy”
Here’s a link to reports about North Korea at Human Rights Watch
The U.S. Treasury says FedGov is out of funds, so NATURALLY, Obama decided it was high time we sent the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank half a Billion dollars.
He had to circumvent Congress (again) to do it, which the lapdog media ignored (of course) and you can bet the money will wind up going to Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists, but what the hey. According to Obama, it was “necessary” for our “national security interests.” Riiiiiiiight.
His Secretary of State, John Kerry, thinks half a Billion wasn’t enough; he wants we should give those who live to wipe the U.S. and Israel off the face of the Earth a cool $4 Billion … yet the White House remains closed to tourists and my military kid’s been furloughed because … refer back to line one … the United States is BROKE.
But again, what the hey! We should just raise the debt ceiling again. Right? And if those Eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil Raaaaaaaaaaaacist GOP bastards won’t vote for it, Barack Obama is prepared to NOT send Social Security checks to the disabled and old folks next week. So there!
Meanwhile, he and the girls are packing for yet ANOTHER multi-million dollar vacay cuz apparently their $100 million safari wasn’t enough of a break for one summer.
Ok. So the left is saying, “Big deal, Kerry was working remotely.” And that may be true, but the problem is not whether he was working on board; it is that this administration lies about everything! They would lie about the color of the sky, or what they had for breakfast! When someone lies so blatantly and frequently about little things, how can you believe anything they say about the big, important things?
When you point out something like that to a leftist, they act like your anger over being lied to is an overreaction. After all, it wasn’t a BIG lie…just a little one. Forget about the fact that you should be able to expect a basic amount of credibility from the freaking State Dept.
This is how emotionally abusive relationships work. Abusers will heap lies and mistreatment upon the victim so fast and furious, that the victim eventually starts to push back a little, maybe pointing out a lie or two. When that happens, the abuser will redirect the argument so that the victim is made out to be irrational and over-reactionary. This has been the Zero admin’s modus operandi since day 1.
I have been in abusive relationships before…being stuck in another one with my own government, from which I can’t escape without leaving behind everything I’ve worked so hard to achieve, well, it’s beyond galling. I almost pity the enablers on the left, because their time will come. Abusers don’t have any more respect for the useful idiots who take their side, than they have for their victims who fight back; in fact, they have even more contempt for fools who suffer them willingly.
UPDATE: ABC News (aka, the All Barack Channel) butt snorkels the bias with “news” report about how HARD Kerry was working on EGYPT … while he was yachting and strolling around Nantucket.
In addition to previous entries such as “is”, “sexual relations”, and “transparency”, please now add “completely inaccurate” and “briefly.”
As our ally — aka, Egypt — goes up in flames and Morsi — aka, the Egyptian president Obama gave big honking military weapons to — goes down in flames, one might suppose that Obama’s new Secretary of State — aka, John “Reporting For Duty” Kerry — would be, you know, On Duty.
Some bozo claimed he saw Obama’s SecState in Nantucket, a ritzy island off Massachusetts which just doesn’t look very good for the Ø Administration, so naturally, they put out a “SecState Kerry has his NOSE to the grindstone in DC” message.
Except, oh wait, it wasn’t just one person who saw him cruising around on his 1%er YACHT. It was like … you know … SEVERAL.
Oh wait … hang on … make that four. Oops, five. And damn how many people have cameras and wireless uploading these days. Add a pesky video of Kerry’s motorcade violating Nantucket traffic regs and a state cop who confirmed that it was Kerry’s motorcade.
And THEN, dammit, as the BBC reported Morsi had been ousted, the Boston Herald reported (with pictures) that Kerry was enjoying a “sun splashed” vacay with his family on the other side of the globe from our beleaguered ally.
Seriously. Is there anything this Administration WON’T lie about?

Hillary Wasn’t LYING about SNIPER FIRE! Video PROOF!
In April 2008, that video had had more than 1,500,000 views and the information below had been released:
Jerry Zeifman, who supervised a much younger Hillary Clinton when she worked as a staffer for the Watergate committee, said he not only fired her from the committee, but also refused to give her a letter of recommendation because she was unethical and dishonest.
“She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.’
He says he now regrets not reporting her to the appropriate authorities and getting her investigated and possibly disbarred way back when.
The author of the April 2008 article (link below) opined that this stuff was the “bombshell” that would Hillary Clinton’s career and he signed off with, “Stay tuned, people. This one isn’t over. Not by a long shot.”
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
It’s been SIX YEARS.
In that time, have you EVER heard of this?
I remember seeing something about it, but I don’t watch the News News, just surf the Conservative blogosphere where my fellow whackadoodle rightwingnut extremist buds hang out with our guns and Bibles and trade bitter snarky RAAAACIST LIES … I mean, ABSURD CONSPIRACY THEORIES … I mean … the True Facts The Media Refuses To Report About Democrats.
I asked Dearest. He’d never heard it at all.
I bet all y’all are aware that _Resident Øbama elevated HRC and her lying pie hole to the very important post of Secretary of State, where she was able to oversee the massacre of a U.S. Ambassador.
Speaking of lying pie holes sabotaging our national security, have you ever read the true story about the treasonous acts of the man Øbama REPLACED HRC with?
I have. It is a very compelling tale!
The Democrat Media Complex sneers about the Swifties, making “swiftboating” into a synonym for “false accusation.” But they weren’t false. And they were important.
The Slime Media have done the same thing with “BIRTHERS” ::YUCKYUCK:: about those who want Øbama’s birth certificates inspected, seeing as the jpg files the White House has posted are BLATANT FORGERIES.
Then there’s Media Malpractice, a fantastic 2009 documentary that demonstrates conclusively how grotesque the pro-Obama, anti-Palin bias was in the 2008 presidential election.
Last month, we saw the media yawn, cover their ears and yammer “It’s just a local story!” about the grotesque Gosnell crimes trial. This week, they’re doing everything they can to pretend the Benghazi hearings aren’t happening … while giving breathless coverage to two local crime stories in Cleveland and Phoenix.
Connect the dots. Then turn off the damn television, cancel your newspaper and join me at Twitchy. I swear … it’s the best place to get news these days!
Remember the 2008 candidate version of Barack Obama? The one who promised over and over and over to bring a New Kind of Politics to Washington?
In Barack’s latest Same-Old-Democrat-Slime move, he’s got fake war hero and failed presidential contender, John The Swiftboated Kerry writing to Obama supporters to Donate Donate Donate.
His argument?
Those nasty, lying Navy SEAL ads are hurting Barack just like those nasty, lying Swift Boat ads hurt him!
(One can only hope.)
In the letter, Kerry says,
“No matter how self-evidently false the attacks are, or how disreputable the people telling them may be, there’s no attack that can’t take hold.”
Navy SEALs? Disreputable liars? Riiiiiight.
Back in 2004, 250+ Swift Boat veterans went public to protest John Kerry’s contention that he was fit to be Commander-in-Chief. They published a book and ran ads on television and the internet.
Despite the fact that the Swifties damaged Kerry’s campaign enough that it possibly cost him the election, Kerry never responded to their accusations, never released his military records, never sued for slander.
In his Send-Barack-Money-to-Fight-SEALs letter, Kerry also says he “honors and appreciates” the service of his fellow veterans. Riiiiiight. I’m sure his honor and appreciation are what motivated him to tell a group of students,
“You know, education – if you make the most of it – you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.” [October 2006]
“The left has made it a shtick to feign generosity while directing the government to confiscate unearned money and to redistribute it to hook capable human beings on just-above-subsistence-level incomes. Those who fall prey to this scheme become the truly selfish citizens who demand that others cater to their every need. Meanwhile, those who just want to live their own lives, keep the fruit of their own labor, and to be left alone become falsely demonized as ‘selfish’.” ~Kyle Becker
It is a constant refrain on the left that conservatives are “selfish.” Those who want to work and keep the fruits of their own labor are castigated as self-centered and greedy, while progressives are held out to be all-compassionate and kind for supporting government-run programs for every malady under the sun.
On November 9, 2010, after Barack Obama had occupied our highest office for two years, The New York Times published a rather bizarre and heretofore unknown biographical nugget about his childhood.
It seems his nanny in Indonesia was an openly gay male transvestite.
Dunno as I care, but it does rather beg the question why such a detail had never gotten out before, you know?
Oh wait. The media protects the Left.
Early in 2008, the New York Slime ran an article suggesting that John McCain had had an affair. There was no EVIDENCE for it, but that didn’t stop them from putting it out there … on the FRONT PAGE.
Meanwhile, they and the rest of the Laughing Stock Media absolutely REFUSED to INVESTIGATE allegations that 2008 Democrat Presidential hopeful John Edwards had fathered a child with his mistress, WHILE he was running for VP on John Kerry’s 2004 ticket AND his wife was fighting an ultimately losing battle with cancer.
2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s affair? False, yet front page news.
2008 Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards affair? True, but totally ignored by the “real” news media.
Seriously. Ya think if Sarah Palin had been raised by a tranny nanny, the NYT would have ignored the story until two years after the campaign?
