0bama has done nothing but spend money we don't have on stuff that won't help. He is the reason the economy is still in the cr@per. But I guess for Clinton it's only the economy, stupid when a republican is President. If I was Bill, I would have done whatever I could have done to stay away from cameras for the next 9 months, so I wouldn't have to defend 0bama. But I guess Bill wants more attention and money.

Bill's remarks the last few months have not been all that great for Barry. I have always considered him to actually be very smart, one of the smartest. I also do not think he likes ol' Barry much!

All mythology and no beef. The "constitutional scholar" who clearly doesn't believe in one of its most basic foundations, the separate but equal branches of govt.

So it turns out he wasn't a scholar, I suspect just another affirmative action prize winner who got pushed ahead and taught a course at the University of Chicago on how wrong the founders were & how evil the white man was. But he sure could talk, wear a suit well, and fool enough people.

Joe Biden calls bin Laden raid the most ‘audacious plan’ in 500 years

Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that the raid that killed Osama bin Laden was the most "audacious plan" of the past 500 years. Biden's comments, made at a Democratic fundraiser in Morris Township, NJ, ranked the May 2011 assault that ended the Al-Qaeda chief's life above the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944, the surprise landing at Inchon in 1950 that turned the tide of the Korean War or, going back a bit further, George Washington's daring night-time crossing of the Delaware River before the Battle of Trenton in 1776.

"You can go back 500 years. You cannot find a more audacious plan. Never knowing for certain. We never had more than a 48% probability that he was there," Biden said, hailing the raid as a shining example of President Barack Obama's leadership.

"Do any one of you have a doubt that if that raid failed that this guy would be a one-term president?" Biden asked, according to the media pool report from the event. "This guy is willing to do the right thing and risk losing."

The vice president also delivered a regular line that may be the pithiest "bumper sticker" reelection argument for Obama: "Osama Bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive. Think about it."..snipped

Biden is about as big an AzzHat as you will ever find. It is an embarrassment that he is VP.

BTW the people who actually planned & carried out the raid were Seals, you dumb ****!
What 'Gutsy Call'?: CIA Memo Reveals Admiral Controlled bin Laden Mission

Today, Time magazine got hold of a memo written by then-CIA head Leon Panetta after he received orders from Barack Obama’s team to greenlight the bin Laden mission. Here’s the text, which summarized the situation:

Received phone call from 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.

This, of course, was the famed “gutsy call.” Here’s what Tom Hanks narrated in Obama’s campaign film, “The Road We’ve Traveled”:

HANKS: Intelligence reports locating Osama Bin Laden were promising, but inconclusive, and there was internal debate as to what the President should do.

VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: We sat down in the Situation Room, the entire national security apparatus was in that room, and the President turns to every principal in the room, every secretary, “What do you recommend I do?” And they say, “Well, forty-nine percent chance he’s there, fifty-one … it’s a close call, Mr. President.” As he 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.

Only the memo doesn’t show a gutsy call. It doesn’t show a president willing to take the blame for a mission gone wrong. It shows a CYA maneuver by the White House.

The memo puts all control in the hands of Admiral McRaven – the “timing, operational decision making and control” are all up to McRaven. So the notion that Obama and his team were walking through every stage of the operation is incorrect. The hero here was McRaven, not Obama. And had the mission gone wrong, McRaven surely would have been thrown under the bus....SNIPPED

Of course this doesn't come as any surprise. Most of us knew Obama wasn't making any call. His commanders did. It is folly to think a person who has no military leadership training, no military training, no in the field experience would be making any command decisions. I wouldn't expect him to.

It was the Seals in the field who had their asses on the line

So if the Seals rang the door bell and nobody was home Barry's "Presidency was done"?

President Obama says "A Pitbull Is Delicious" at Whitehouse Correspondents' Dinner 4/28/2012

Even Sarah Palin's getting back into the game. Obama jokes at White House Correspondents Dinner. What's the difference between a hockey Mom and a Pit Bull? Pit Bulls are Delicious. With a little soy sauce. Obama eats dog. Michelle Obama is shocked.

IMHO the dinner is notorious for its jokes.

However that was a joke too far.

Barack Obama is under pressure to publicly extend US protection to blind Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng who took refuge in America’s embassy in Beijing, as White House aides stressed they would need to “balance” human rights and relations with China.
US diplomat flies into Beijing for talks over blind dissident Chen Guangcheng

BEIJING—China has clamped down on activists and online media following the dramatic escape of a blind human-rights advocate from home imprisonment, an embarrassment for Beijing that could complicate U.S.-China relations if he is found in U.S. protective custody.

People in Hong Kong voice support for Chen Guangcheng, a Chinese activist who may have sought protection at the U.S. embassy in Beijing.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner are meeting with their Chinese counterparts in Beijing on Thursday to discuss everything from economics to environmental policy.

The escape last week of Chen Guangcheng, coupled with indications on Friday that the Obama administration was considering the sale of U.S. fighter jets to Taiwan, could complicate discussions of such contentious issues as Syria and the nuclear programs of North Korea and Iran.

At least three activists were detained after the escape of Mr. Chen, who spoke out against forced abortions under China's one-child policy. Popular Twitter-like microblogging service Sina Weibo blocked use of the words "blind man" and "UA898," reference to a United Airlines flight from Beijing to Washington that Mr. Chen was rumored aboard. News of his escape hasn't appeared in major state-run media.

The Chinese government appeared to be digging for details about who helped Mr. Chen escape and whether the U.S. has played any role.

Activist Hu Jia, a friend of Mr. Chen, was detained on Saturday. In an interview after his release late Sunday, he said authorities asked him when Mr. Chen met with U.S. Ambassador Gary Locke and whether he was present. Mr. Hu said the two questions "really surprised me" because they indicated that state security believed Mr. Chen was in U.S. custody.

Activists who spoke with Mr. Chen said they believed he sought U.S. protection, though his whereabouts was unclear on Sunday. The White House and the State Department declined to comment on the status of Mr. Chen or any possible U.S. role in protecting him. The Chinese government didn't comment.

Friends of Mr. Chen said his escape from his home in the village of Dongshigu in Shandong province on April 22 was carefully planned. They said he stayed in his bedroom for weeks to fool his guards into thinking his health was poor. Then he scaled a wall at night and fled to Beijing, where he moved among safe houses. His wife and daughter were believed to remain under home confinement, his friends said.

Mr. Hu said one of the activists who helped in the escape told him Friday that Mr. Chen was in the "safest place" in Beijing—code, he explained, for the U.S. embassy. "If you ask any Chinese person where the safest place in Beijing is, they'll all think the same thing," he said.

Sheltering Mr. Chen would present the U.S. with a dilemma. Keeping Mr. Chen at a U.S. facility could strain relations with China. Turning over Mr. Chen to Chinese authorities might subject him to harsh punishment, which could be politically damaging to the Obama administration. Mr. Chen had said he didn't want to leave China, said activists who helped him.

"This is a no-win situation for the U.S., exacerbated by the likely tendency of some Chinese to believe that we engineered the whole thing to embarrass China's leaders and the entire Chinese nation," said Richard Bush, director for Northeast Asian policy studies at the Brookings Institution.

The Obama administration dispatched Assistant Secretary of State for Asia affairs Kurt Campbell to Beijing over the weekend. The State Department declined to comment on Mr. Campbell's trip. Congressional officials working on Asia believe the diplomat is seeking to resolve the Chen issue before the arrival of Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Geithner.

Mr. Obama's top counterterrorism official, John Brennan, was asked Sunday on Fox News whether Mr. Obama was committed to protecting Mr. Chen. "I'm confident that the president and others within the U.S. government are going to be able to find the right way forward," he said.

Chris Matthews "so proud of Obama" for speaking to troops in Afghanistan. He's Henry V!

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/05/01/chris_matthews_i_was_so_proud_of_obama_speaking_to_troops_in_afghanistan.html

Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC's "Hardball," raved about a speech President Obama made to American troops during his surprise visit to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.

"I imagine being a soldier over there -- this is what you want to hear," Matthews said, as if he was wearing military fatigues.

Matthews also likened the leadership of President Obama to that of Henry V of England.

"It was right out of Henry V actually, a touch of Barry, in this case, in the night for those soldiers risking their lives over there," Matthews said.

"Well that's great stuff. I was so proud of the President there, I must say. This has nothing to do with partisanship; this is the Commander-in-Chief meeting with the troops," Chris Matthews gushed on his program today.

Matthews continued to express his admiration for Obama, who was in Afghanistan to mark the first anniversary of Osama bin Laden's death.

"Old foxhole" Chris has never been close to the front and neither has Obama.

I imagine they would pee in their pants if they were actually under attack and had to return fire.

No "Mobama is brilliant thread", so just attribute this to Barry for amrrying her!

In stump speech, Michelle Obama evicts mother from White House

First lady Michelle Obama has figuratively evicted her 74-year-old mother from the White House in an apparent effort to boost her appeal to middle-class voters.

The eviction notice came April 30 when the first lady told fellow Democrats at a fundraiser that she shared their values. “My family, we lived in a little bitty apartment on the South Side of Chicago over my aunt’s house [and] my mom still lives in that house to this day.”

However, the first lady’s mother, Marian Robinson, has lived in the White House since March 2009, when Essence Magazine announced her move from Chicago to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

“She will stay as long as her son-in-law and daughter want her to stay there,” Angela Burt-Murray, the editor of Essence Magazine, said in an April 2009 “Today” show interview.

White House officials have largely kept Robinson out of sight, and she makes relatively few public appearances. One recent exception came on April 9, when she publicly read ”The Rainbow Fish” at the 2012 White House Easter Egg Roll.

The first lady’s effort to distance herself from her mother’s White House stay comes as both she and President Barack Obama try to stress their middle-class roots, amid a stalled economy and high unemployment.

The cost of visible first family trips — to Spain, Hawaii, Martha’s Vineyard and other locations — has spurred some level of resentment among Americans, whose income has stalled since 2008, even as their costs for gasoline, health care and education have risen.

One Press Conference in six months.

Obama Abolishes the Press Conference

President Obama has held just one full length, multi-topic, solo press conference in the last six months, effectively abolishing the most accessible venue for American citizens to observe the thinking and learn the views of their leader.

It’s May, and the president has stood for only a single such news conference this year, a March 6 event in the briefing room. He’s had only three since last June, counting a November press conference in Hawaii that was supposed to be devoted to the just-held Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit but which veered off into other issues.

Nor does Obama generally allow questioning during brief appearances at the White House, such as when he makes statements with foreign leaders. Previous presidents, including George W. Bush, routinely took a couple of questions on the topic of the day at such gatherings...snipped

...There's a certain type of personality that constructs a life out of the nurturing and protecting its own failings rather than attempting to resolve or overcome them. This is the only formula that is required to understand Barack Obama.




That is a VERY good column.

Wow! That is a powerful essay on Obama.

Unfortunately it appears to be true.

What scares me most is this latest unemployment report and the continual slide in labor participation rate while at the same time incurring huge deficits unlike we have ever seen before. That is a disastrous path of unsustainablity. Sooner or later we will face the reality that we can't print imaginary money anymore and we will be left with bills we cannot pay.

Where will we be then? Obama doesn't care. Narcissists never do.
