Nobel Laureate is supposed to give some kind of credibility to a recipient? Sorry, but when Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize, the governing body of that organization lost the last remnant of any integrity that it might still have possessed at that point.

 

Obama inherited...inherited...inherited. You might not notice it, but that "I inherited" crap from Obama and his legions was worn thin a loooooooong time ago. He could be in his 8th term as President and he and his diciples would still be blaming his failures on GWB.

 

Polls here in the U.S. consistently show that the citizenry thinks the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction under Obama. Polls also have the respondents giving him the lowest approval rating of any president at the end of his 3rd year in office of any president in the last half century. Obama's approval rating is even lower than Carter's (and few thought that would be possible). I can't wait for Gringrich to debate Obama. Obama's gonna have his heart ripped out and he's going to be exposed as the incompetent, most inept president in 100 years.

 

BTW, GWB was/is not stupid. Only those who really think he is are the ones who are stupid.

 

If you think Obama walks on water and is the greatest thing since sliced bread...good, I say...he's all yours.

>> he sent MORE TROOPS to Afghanistan!!!

Justified based on the "terrorist" attack?

 

The "terrorist" attack was carried out or at least sanctioned by the US gov, IMO.

 

Just remember Bldg. 7...fell down on its own...never hit by a plane...Google the many sources on the internet, like Truth about 9/11, architects and engineers 9/11, etc.

..you mean as in Fox Noise "We give you the facts. You decide."

 

The only poll that matters is the election.

 

We agree on something: I truly hope Gingrich is the Republican candidate... and with Palin as running mate.

HH, totally agree the peace prize for Obama was undeserved. Not his fault for winning it. He never lobbied or wanted it and to his credit, he seemed to acknowledged there were more deserving people and his speech and demeanor reflected that.

 

The polls of which you speak also has the lowest approval rating for a Congress that is Republican led in some time. What I find misleading is the reporting only of Obama's ratings and not of Congress. What the polls say to me is that the people are tired of a government that is not doing enough and are blaming EVERYONE. It also tells me that the people are tired of both parties fightinng and not putting aside their differences to do their job. Personally, I think the Republicans are obstrucdtionist because they have found ways of either being against things they are for IF Obama gets the credit or they attach things to it that they know Obama is against and hold needed action hostage that THEY want.

 

I actually do believe in the prior link that for the most part the Republicans are only interested in gaining power even at detriment of the country. I don't agree with Democrats over a variety of things but I will give a lot of them credit for voting for the person who they believed was the best for the country. Hilllary was the easy choice and would have won the election handily had she been chosen to face McCain. Obama was a risk politically to give the Republicans power but they went with who they believed in. The Republicans seem to choose someone based on who will win and NOT who they believe in.

 

Frankly, I'm tired of the Obama is bad mantra being said 24/7 and not offering someone better. I don't hear Republicans extolling the virtues of Romney who will win the nomination despite the recent rise in teh polls of Gingrich. In the end I still think it will be Romney for the sole reason he polls better. Many Republicans want Paul but they know their own party won't support him. Why aren't they asking the party heirarchy why? Democrats forced their leadership into accepting Obama with their voice and vote. Whether he was a good choice or not is not the point. The point is they went with their head and heart.

KUHNER: Obama’s Watergate

 

 

A year ago this week, U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered. He died protecting his country from brutal Mexican gangsters. Two AK-47 assault rifles were found at his death site. We now know the horrifying truth: Agent Terry was killed by weapons that were part of an illegal Obama administration operation to smuggle arms to the dangerous drug cartels. He was a victim of his own government. This is not only a major scandal; it is a high crime that potentially reaches all the way to the White House, implicating senior officials. It is President Obama’s Watergate.

 

Operation Fast and Furious was run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and overseen by the Justice Department. It started under the leadership of Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. Fast and Furious enabled straw gun purchases from licensed dealers in Arizona, in which more than 2,000 weapons were smuggled to Mexican drug kingpins. ATF claims it was seeking to track the weapons as part of a larger crackdown on the growing violence in the Southwest. Instead, ATF effectively has armed murderous gangs. About 300 Mexicans have been killed by Fast and Furious weapons. More than 1,400 guns remain lost. Agent Terry likely will not be the last U.S. casualty.

 

Mr. Holder insists he was unaware of what took place until after media reports of the scandal appeared in early 2011. This is false. Such a vast operation only could have occurred with the full knowledge and consent of senior administration officials. Massive gun-running and smuggling is not carried out by low-level ATF bureaucrats unless there is authorization from the top. There is a systematic cover-up.

 

Congressional Republicans, however, are beginning to shed light on the scandal. Led by Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Rep. Darrell Issa of California, a congressional probe is exposing the Justice Department’s rampant criminality and deliberate stonewalling. Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer, who heads the department’s criminal division, helped craft a February letter to Congress that denied ATF had ever walked guns into Mexico. Yet, under pressure from congressional investigators, the department later admitted that Mr. Breuer knew about ATF gun-smuggling as far back as April 2010. In other words, Mr. Breuer has been misleading Congress. He should resign - or be fired.

 

Instead, Mr. Holder tenaciously insists that Mr. Breuer will keep his job. He needs to keep his friends close and potential witnesses even closer. Another example is former acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson. Internal documents show Mr. Melson directly oversaw Fast and Furious, including monitoring numerous straw purchases of AK-47s. He has admitted to congressional investigators that he, along with high-ranking ATF leaders, reassigned every “manager involved in Fast and Furious†after the scandal surfaced on Capitol Hill and in the press. Mr. Melson said he was ordered by senior Justice officials to be silent regarding the reassignments. Hence, ATF managers who possess intimate and damaging information - especially on the role of the Justice Department - essentially have been promoted to cushy bureaucratic jobs. Their silence has been bought, their complicity swept under the rug. Mr. Melson has been transferred to Justice’s main office, where he serves as a “senior adviser†on forensic science in the department’s Office of Legal Policy. Rather than being punished, Mr. Melson has been rewarded for his incompetence and criminal negligence.

 

Mr. Holder and his aides have given misleading, false and contradictory testimony on Capitol Hill. Perjury, obstruction of justice and abuse of power - these are high crimes and misdemeanors. Mr. Holder should be impeached. Like most liberals, he is playing the victim card, claiming Mr. Issa is a modern-day Joseph McCarthy conducting a judicial witch hunt. Regardless of this petty smear, Mr. Holder must be held responsible and accountable - not only for the botched operation, but for his flagrant attempts to deflect blame from the administration.

 

Mr. Holder is a shameless careerist and a ruthless Beltway operative. For years, his out-of-control Justice Department has violated the fundamental principle of our democracy, the rule of law. He has refused to prosecute members of the New Black Panthers for blatant voter intimidation that took place in the 2008 election. Career Justice lawyers have confessed publicly that Mr. Holder will not pursue cases in which the perpetrators are black and the victims white. States such as Arizona and Alabama are being sued for simply attempting to enforce federal immigration laws. Mr. Holder also opposes voter identification cards, thereby enabling fraud and vote-stealing at the ballot box. What else can we expect from one who, during the Clinton administration, helped pardon notorious tax cheat Marc Rich and Puerto Rican terrorists?

 

Mr. Holder clearly knew about Fast and Furious and did nothing to stop it. This is because the administration wanted to use the excuse of increased violence on the border and weapons-smuggling into Mexico to justify tighter gun-control legislation. Mr. Holder is fighting ferociously to prevent important internal Justice documents from falling into the hands of congressional investigators. If the full nature of his involvement is discovered, the Obama presidency will be in peril.

 

Fast and Furious is even worse than Watergate for one simple reason: No one died because of President Nixon’s political dirty tricks and abuse of government power. But Brian Terry is dead; and there are still 1,500 missing guns threatening still more lives.

 

What did Mr. Obama know? Massive gun-smuggling by the U.S. government into a foreign country does not happen without the explicit knowledge and approval of leading administration officials. It’s too big, too risky and too costly. Mr. Holder may not be protecting just himself and his cronies. Is he protecting the president?

Bloody Nora, what next?

 

... Obama is actually the Mafia Capo di tutti capi?

 

Solution: Legalise recreational drugs, and give registered addicts prescription drugs.

 

Result: end of Mexican drug gangs, and a 90% drop in US crime stats.

 

Sorted!

 

Too fucking easy though isn't it... TIA.

 

 

PS. Buy the opium crop from Afghan farmers at 300% what the Taliban will pay, and next year pay them 500% the opium price for their replacement sunflower crop.

 

Result: end of Taliban finances.
