Tyranny! Fireworks shows Need Environmental Review as Black-robed Marxist Superior Court Judge Linda Quinn Issued Ruling
.
Fireworks shows need new environmental review
Court ruling could have sweeping impact
What started as a battle over fireworks shows led to a sweeping legal victory Friday for environmentalists that could stymie a wide range of events needing city permits, from the Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon to birthday parties held at parks.
“According to the strictest interpretation of this, jumpy-jumps and everything else would be subject to environmental review if this ruling stands,” said lawyer Robert Howard, who represented the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation in the case. “It’s a breathtaking ruling.”
Superior Court Judge Linda Quinn said La Jolla’s annual Fourth of July fireworks show requires evaluation under the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA.
The case, filed by the Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation in Encinitas, targeted San Diego’s approval of the La Jolla event but eventually drew in a broad swath of city permits. San Diego officials said they issue about 400 special-events permits annually, along with up to 20,000 park-use permits for smaller-scale gatherings — most of which would now need environmental assessment.
“San Diego issues thousands of these simple park-use permits over the counter with the only consideration being space, just as other cities do across the state,” said City Attorney Jan Goldsmith. “Existing law has never been interpreted to require a CEQA review for this. ... This decision opens the door to absurd results. This is the reason appellate courts exist and we plan to ask for their help.”
Even before the judge’s ruling was finalized, Chula Vista officials on Thursday pulled the plug on their July Fourth show in the face of funding shortfalls and environmental challenges.
The future of La Jolla’s event was fuzzy Friday. Organizers likely can’t complete the time-intensive and costly CEQA analysis by July 4, but Howard said he would ask the court to allow this year’s event while the case is appealed.
City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, whose district includes La Jolla, said she hoped to find a solution. “We have to strike a balance that protects the environment but also allows our finest traditions to continue,” she said.
On Tuesday, the City Council ratified a long-standing city policy of exempting fireworks shows from special-events permits unless food or alcohol is sold. It was an attempt to shield pyrotechnics from environmental challenges, but Friday’s decision means CEQA still applies.
Environmental impact reports can take a year and cost tens of thousands of dollars.
“Does that mean every event has to get a full environmental impact report? No, but it means that the city has to undertake the burden and applicants have to undertake the cost” of a lower-level CEQA analysis, Howard said.
He said some “events” such as temporary Christmas tree stands have existing exemptions under the law, but many others don’t.
Alex Roth, a spokesman for Mayor Jerry Sanders, framed the suit as part of a “bizarre crusade to stop fireworks.”
“What’s next, a lawsuit against swimmers for polluting the ocean with their suntan lotion?” Roth said.
Marco Gonzalez, a lawyer for the environmental rights foundation, exulted over Friday’s win, which comes after months of criticism against him for challenging an American tradition.
“If you were to sum it up with one word, I would say ‘vindication.’ It’s vindication for the environment ... and it’s vindication for my client because of the amount of disparaging comments and general negativity that was thrown our way when we were told that our lawsuit was frivolous,” Gonzalez said.
Earlier this month, his lawsuit had spurred regional pollution regulators to adopt a new permit for fireworks shot over beaches and bays. The mandate, based on the Clean Water Act, was a national first.
Gonzalez said he also is breaking new ground in seeking reviews of fireworks shows under California environmental law.
“There are a whole host of impacts that we know occur from fireworks shows, from marine mammals to marine birds to water quality to traffic to noise to the air,” Gonzalez said. “We want it studied and we want it mitigated.”
Tony Manolatos, a spokesman for City Councilman Kevin Faulconer, stood by the council’s exemption for fireworks. “I think banning fireworks on the Fourth of July is un-American,” he said, “and I think the majority of San Diegans would agree.”
Gonzalez has repeatedly said that protecting water quality and coastal species is patriotic.

In December, 1773, a group of colonists boarded three ships in Boston Harbor and destroyed the tea on board. Did they have a permit for that party??
In April, 1775, the colonists fired their black powder rifles in Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Menotomy, and Cambridge (The shot heard around the World). Did they have a permit to do that??
Millions of Mexicans come into our Country to work. Did they have permits to do that??
The unions occupied the State House in Madison, WI. Earlier this year, for several days, and did millions of dollars in damage. Did they have a permit to do that??

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Tried Hard To Kiss Up To Muslims: " 1001 Muslim Inventions” ~ 1001??? LOL
Remarks
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
May 25, 2011
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton bent over backwards to appease Muslims in her video remarks for the “1001 Muslim Inventions” program. The State Department program is dedicated to the inventions by Muslims that make .
I am delighted to send greetings to each of you at this year’s “1001Inventions,” celebrating a millennium of science and innovation in the Muslim world.
This exhibition honors the remarkable accomplishments of Muslims throughout history: from a woman who founded a university in the 9th century – to a 13th century inventor and mechanical engineer – to a surgeon whose writings influenced European medicine for hundreds of years.
And, of course, we’re seeing the impact of technology in the Muslim world right now – as young people throughout the Middle East and North Africa find new ways to use social networking to get organized and express their aspirations.
Connection technologies offer an unprecedented opportunity – a platform through which everyone from farmers to students to entrepreneurs can exchange ideas and hatch plans for the world’s next great invention.
But technology does not decide the future – people do. As this exhibition shows, the Muslim world has a proud history of innovators. Now is the time to tap into that legacy, to harness the power of science and technology, and to create new pathways to prosperity.
This is an exciting day. Thank you for letting me share it with you.
Wild Thing's comment.......
So will this take care of it then? Now we will never be attacked again, and CAIR will be happy, and all those death cult Muslims will be ever so happy too.
Don't you just love that 1001 number too, kind of like 1001 Arabian Nights. heh heh

Sarah Palin at Rolling thunder
There’s no better way to see D.C. than on the back of a Harley! My family may be used to snowmachines more so than motorcycles (though you couldn’t tell it with Todd driving a hog today with Piper on the back and with Bristol riding on the back of another bike). But whether you’re riding the open road or the frozen tundra, you’re celebrating a free spirit. What could be more American than that?
Today’s Rolling Thunder rally in DC is all about freedom. And it’s about duty and loyalty and service. The message heard loud and clear through the roar of tens of thousands of bike engines declared, “We will never forget our heroes left behind!” Truly, our POWs and MIAs honored today are America’s real heroes.

Rolling Thunder Riders Praise Sarah Palin's Participation in Rally
ABC News' Sheila Marikar [@sheilaym] reports: For the riders of Rolling Thunder, the news that Sarah Palin will participate in their national rally on Sunday came as a surprise. A welcome surprise.
“I think that’s wonderful,” said Gerri Tramel, president of one of Rolling Thunder’s Tennessee chapters. “Anybody that’s involved -- Republican, Democrat, independent, whatever -- if you’re involved with our veterans, I think that’s wonderful. Not just Sarah Palin -- anyone that’s a politician.”
For more than 20 years, as many as half a million motorcycle riders from across the country have descended on Washington, D.C., during Memorial Day weekend to raise awareness about prisoners of war and those missing in action. Rolling Thunder announced Thursday that Palin accepted an invitation to participate in its May 29 rally. She’ll kick off her One Nation Tour the same day, a bus trip along the northeast coast that aims “to educate and energize Americans about our nation's founding principles.”
Asked how Palin came to be involved with the rally, Rolling Thunder spokeswoman Nancy Regg said, “I honestly don’t know.”
“I’m not the person that invited her,” she said. “We send letters to people all the time and invite them. We invited her to ride, she has accepted and she and her husband have both agreed to ride for us.”
Regardless of Palin’s political agenda -- the “Will she or won’t she?” fervor over her potential presidential run reached new heights this week -- the members of Rolling Thunder agreed her participation is a boon.
“If she wants to support the troops, we’re all for it,” said Greg Benson, president of Rhode Island’s Rolling Thunder chapter.
“I certainly welcome any positive publicity surrounding our cause, anything to bring attention to POWs and MIAs,” said Jeffrey Stewart, who leads a Rolling Thunder chapter in New Hampshire, a state that will be crucial to Palin if she runs in 2012. “Whether it’s a celebrity or a politician-celebrity -- I’m not exactly sure what she is right now -- having Sarah Palin there means more people will be paying attention to our cause.”
Stewart considers himself a Republican. While he’s not gunning for Palin to run in 2012, he would like more politicians to recognize the country’s veterans, as she’ll do this weekend. Like many of Rolling Thunder’s members, he’s a veteran himself, having served in the Army during the 1980s.
“I’d love to see [President] Obama walk out and say, ‘Thank you,’” he said. “I’d love to see [Vice President Joe] Biden come out and say, ‘Thank you.’ Anyone who wants to be president, I'd love for them to come and acknowledge us.”
There are riders who worry that Palin’s presence might take away from the aim of the event.
“I don’t know if she’s using the veterans or the amount of people there for a political gain,” said Susan Bailey, whose husband, Winston Bailey, is the president of an Ohio chapter of Rolling Thunder. She has ridden with the national rally for 16 years in a row.
“As far as her running again, I don’t know, she seems kind of wishy-washy, quitting the government,” Bailey said, referring to Palin’s curtailed gubernatorial stint in Alaska. “Whether she’s really committed to it is my question.”
For now, pretty much all that’s certain about Palin is that she’ll ride with Rolling Thunder through the streets of Washington Sunday and ride in a bus up the northeast coast after that. (Specifics remain unclear; a Palin aide did not know what kind of motorcycle the former governor planned to cruise.) That’s good enough for some of Rolling Thunder’s members.
“In the long run, it’s probably a good thing,” Stewart said. “What’s that thing that celebrities say, ‘Any press is good press?’ I think that’s the case here.”

Sarah Palin at the “Rolling Thunder” bike rally on Sunday.
Sarah Palin made a grand entrance at the Rolling Thunder biker rally on Sunday, wearing a black Harley-Davidson helmet and visibly enjoying herself as a crush of reporters and bikers swarmed her motorcycle.
Ms. Palin, the former governor of Alaska, was joined by her husband, Todd, who was wearing a matching helmet, and her daughters, Bristol and Piper. Their arrival at the Pentagon North parking lot turned the lazy Sunday morning into a celebrity affair.
Ms. Palin climbed aboard a chopper, assisted by a member of the Rolling Thunder staff, but was unable to move because there were so many members of the press snapping photos. Organizers eventually brought in police, also on motorcycles, to clear a path.
After moving just a few feet, Ms. Palin got off the bike to sign autographs and talk with the crowd. At one point she could be heard discussing “the missing,” a reference to the soldiers still missing in action — a key part of the Rolling Thunder cause.
Her plans for the day had been a closely guarded secret among those in her small circle of advisers. Rumors flew for most of the morning that she was on her way, and that she would ride a motorcycle with the Rolling Thunder bikers.
That’s exactly what she did. Ms. Palin rode on the back as another woman drove her motorcycle. Todd Palin drove another motorcycle, with Piper on the back, and Bristol rode on a third with another driver.
Organizers for the rally said the Palins would not be among the speakers during the Rolling Thunder rally on the National Mall later in the afternoon.

Wild Thing's comment........
I love Rolling Thunder and Sarah too and I think this was a great thing today. There are still people that have had no clue about Rolling Thunder and what they do. By Sarah being there she brought attention to Rolling Thunder and she did it in a class act way. It was very clear she did not want to make it about her and to forcus on Memorial Day and what it means. I am saying that because there were some jerks that compalined about her even being there. Those that did that would not like anything she did imo and just used this day and event to once again bash Sarah.
Thank you Rolling Thunder and thank you Sarah Palin for all you do.

Jose Guereña Survived Two Tours in Iraq Then Murdered By ( Democrat) Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik Swat Team Fires 71 Shots At Hitting Him 60 Times
SWAT Raid Video From Helmet Cam
Seventy-One Shots: The Death of Jose Guereña
Jose Guereña survived two tours in Iraq, but he couldn't survive his own government.
Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik infamously railed in January of this year that Arizona is a “Mecca for prejudice and bigotry.”
One must wonder if the “prejudice and bigotry” he considers endemic to Arizona is to blame for the death of U.S. Marine veteran Jose Guereña, killed when Dupnik’s deputies gunned him down in his home. They fired 71 shots. They hit him 60 times. And then, as if this wasn’t enough, Dupnik’s deputies blocked paramedics for an hour and 14 minutes from approaching the scene, denying Guereña treatment until he was assuredly dead.
Dupnik’s SWAT team initially claimed that Guereña fired at them while they were serving a warrant — as he slept. They claimed that his bullets hit the bulletproof shield that the entry team hid behind, and that the barrage of bullets they fired back was in self-defense.
Only, Guereña never fired his weapon. Awoken by his wife with screams that men with guns were invading his home and threatening his family, Jose Guereña armed himself with a AR-15 rifle and crouched in the hallway. The SWAT team unloaded upon Guereña on sight. He apparently recognized the home invaders as police. He took 60 rounds, but never — as the Pima County Sheriff’s Department was forced to admit — took off his weapon’s safety as he was being killed.
Prejudice and bigotry?
It was, you’ll recall, a claim Dupnik made in the wake of Jared Loughner’s bloodly rampage at a “Congress in your Corner” event at a Safeway supermarket in Tucson, where six were killed and 14 others were injured — including, gravely, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Dupnik was attempting to blame the conservative Tea Party movement for the shooting when he made the comment. And even after it was revealed that Loughner’s few known political views had been described as “quite liberal,” and were in fact muddled at best, he refused to retract his slur.
So when Dupnik’s teams attempted a complicated four-house raid of minority families looking for drugs, perhaps bigotry and prejudice really was in play.
Perhaps Dupnik’s officers assumed every Hispanic accused of being a drug dealer really was one, and perhaps they assumed that the tenant of a home protecting his loved ones must be a bloodthirsty cartel member waiting in ambush. Is that why they gunned down a tired, hard-working father sleeping off a night shift at the local copper mine? A Marine veteran of Iraq that had the discipline not to fire — a discipline that a trigger-happy SWAT team which has now killed three men in less than a year cannot itself exercise?
Not only has the Pima Sheriff’s Department tried to justify firing 71 shots at one man in a small hallway, hitting him (thankfully, just him) 60 times in a home where his wife and child were present. They’ve attempted to justify their refusal to let a team of paramedics treat Guereña, who was still miraculously alive after being sprayed mercilessly with bullets. It takes a competent SWAT team just a handful of minutes to “clear” a residential home during a raid. Dupnik’s SWAT team refused to declare the scene “clear” for an agonizing one hour and 14 minutes, and not until Jose Guereña had already died.
A cynic might be tempted to suggest Dupnik’s SWAT team was waiting for the only witness to their assault to die. Considering how the Sheriff’s Department has acted since they stormed the home, a rational person might be tempted to agree.
Not content to blame the victim for his own death, they attempted to insinuate he was a drug dealer, even though they were forced to admit under direct questioning that no drugs were found in his home, and that a clumsy cop falling down may have triggered the bloodbath.
Vanessa Guereña claims that neither she nor her husband heard the officers announce themselves as police. As anyone who has ever seen an episode of any popular police reality show knows, no entry team waits 15 seconds after announcing themselves to batter down a door and rush the inhabitants — as Pima County Lt. Michael O’Connor claims his SWAT team did. Identical scenes of immediate entry upon announcement (or after breaching), without giving those inside a chance to react, is a standard tactic captured again and again.
Why Lt. Michael O’Connor decided to tell a mistruth about a well-known, heavily documented, and highly standardized technique isn’t immediately clear. Perhaps it is because of the inevitable wrongful death lawsuit to be filed against the Pima County Sheriff’s Department on behalf of Vanessa Guereña and her two children. Or perhaps it is because of the possible DOJ civil rights investigation. Perhaps Dupnik’s employees simply are unable to act any more professionally after a raid than they do during one.
No-knock warrants are typically used to surprise the target of raids and keep them from disposing of evidence, with possible violence from the offender cited as justification for the military-style use of heavy armor and machine guns.
Jose Guereña’s death was entirely preventable. Over-armed, over-amped law enforcement is causing far more harm to the public than other tactics and techniques possibly could.
The over-militarization of law enforcement agencies and over-use of SWAT teams is an idea that needs to be revisited in a sane society. Too many good people have been traumatized, and too many killed, under the flimsiest of circumstances.
After surviving two tours of duty in Iraq, only to lose his life in an encounter with Clarence Dupnik’s keystone cops, Jose Guereña was buried with full military honors.

This incident is a national disgrace.
Do the terrorists know where this prick Sheriff Clarence Dupnik lives?? Just wondering! He seems to be working with them to take out our troops!!!
"Dupnik’s deputies blocked paramedics for an hour and 14 minutes from approaching the scene, denying Guereña treatment until he was assuredly dead."
I can see no conceivable reason for this other than to insure that dead men tell no tales. This sounds like an execution.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Sarah Palin to Hit The Road On Memorial Weekend
Sarah Palin will hit the road this Memorial Day weekend on a tour of the Northeast — with a stop in New Hampshire — aboard a red, white and blue bus emblazoned with the words: “One Nation Under God, Indivisible, With Liberty & Justice For All.”
.
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin (R), who has been largely out of the public eye through much of the spring, will reemerge beginning Sunday as she kicks off an East Coast tour that will put her back in the spotlight and no doubt fuel renewed speculation about a possible presidential campaign in 2012.
“Starting this weekend, Sarah Palin will embark on a one-nation tour of historical sites that were key to the formation, survival and growth of the United States of America,” according to a statement from her political action committee. “The tour will originate in Washington, D.C., and proceed north up the East Coast. More information will follow.”
Palin advisers declined to provide details of the itinerary or engage questions about whether Palin’s public appearances were a precursor to a genuine exploration of a presidential campaign. Asked why she was doing the tour, Tim Crawford, the treasurer of Palin’s PAC, said, “Because she wants to see how this nation was built and get fired up about that.”
The announcement of the Palin tour coincides with news, first reported in Real Clear Politics, that a full-length documentary by conservative filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon charting her political rise in Alaska will debut in Iowa next month, with plans to also show it in New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. Also this week came unconfirmed reports, first appearing in the Arizona Republic, that she and husband Todd have purchased a $1.7 million home in Scottsdale, Ariz., which would be a more convenient location from which to base a national campaign than Alaska.
Up to now, most Republican strategists have assumed that Palin would not seek the presidency in 2012. She has made no trips this year to Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina, the three most important early states in the nomination calendar. Nor has she been known to be reaching out to potential fundraisers or to grass-roots activists.
She traveled to Israel earlier in this spring and has made regular appearances on Fox News, for whom she is a paid contributor, but at a time when the Republican nomination battle has moved into a new phase, the party’s 2008 vice presidential nominee has been mostly absent from the scene.
Still, she remains the most significant potential candidate still on the sidelines. A new Gallup poll, released Thursday, showed Palin with 15 percent among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. That put her second behind former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who was at 17 percent.
.
PALIN STATEMENT
Restoring the Good in America!
Our nation is at a critical turning point. As we look to the future, we are propelled by America’s past. It’s imperative that we connect with our founders, our patriots, our challenges and victories to clearly see our way forward. A good way to do this is to appreciate the significance of our nation’s historic sites, patriotic events and diverse cultures, which we’ll do in the coming weeks on our “One Nation” tour.
We’ll celebrate the good things that bring Americans together; those things that will give us the needed strength to meet the heady challenges ahead. I’ve said many times that America doesn’t need a “fundamental transformation,” instead we need a restoration of all that is good and strong and free in America! So, together let’s prepare ourselves for the days ahead by reminding ourselves who we are and what Americans stand for.
We’ll celebrate the meaning of our nation’s blueprints, our Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, which are the threads that weave our past into the fabric necessary for the survival of American exceptionalism. Our founders declared “we were born the heirs of freedom”, and despite our difficulties and disagreements, we remain one nation under God in freedom, indivisible. Through visits to historical sites and patriotic events, we’ll share the importance of America’s foundation.
We encourage you to support the pro-America events we’ll be privileged to participate in during these coming weeks. Discover the ties that bind Americans, our history, our traditions, and the exceptional nature of our country!

Netanyahu's Popularity Soaring Following Washington Trip
Netanyahu's popularity soaring following Washington trip
Despite tensions in Washington during PM’s visit, Israelis generally don’t believe Obama is hostile to Israel or that U.S.-Israel relations have been harmed, indicating that the public seems to be turning a deaf ear to analysts who criticized Netanyahu’s address to Congress.
It’s doubtful that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in his wildest, most optimistic dreams, would have dared to imagine when he set off for the United States last week that Israelis would respond to his six-day trip so enthusiastically: According to a new Haaretz poll, they are giving the visit high marks, considering it an overwhelming success.
The poll, conducted by the Dialog organization, under the supervision of Prof. Camil Fuchs of the Tel Aviv University Statistics Department, showed that 47 percent of the Israeli public believes the U.S. trip was a success, while only 10 percent viewed it as a failure.
Nearly half of the public felt “pride” at seeing Netanyahu address the joint session of Congress on Tuesday, while only 5 percent deemed it a “missed opportunity.” The rest expressed no opinion, while 20 percent of those questioned said they hadn’t watched the speech.

Former Clinton Campaign Adviser Walks Off FOX News Set Amid Heated Debate
Former President Bill Clinton expressed modest approval for Rep. Paul Ryan’s attempt to reform Medicare as a step in the right direction. But backstage, Clinton’s comments were less tempered when speaking with Ryan directly.
Bill Clinton and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-W) chatting candidly. The two met backstage at the Pete Peterson Foundation forum (a national debt conference). Both politicians were extremely open and friendly.
While Clinton shared his enthusiasm over his party’s NY-26 victory, he said, “I hope Democrats don’t use this as an excuse to do nothing.” The conversation ended with Clinton offering to speak further with Ryan via telephone.
Watch the fiery debate that got a little too-hot-to-handle for former Clinton campaign adviser Simon Rosenberg when he went head-to-head with radio host Ben Ferguson.

Jared Loughner Found Incompetent To Stand Trial ~ Judge Makes EPIC Bad Judgement!
Loughner found incompetent to stand trial
Jared Loughner is incompetent to stand trial, a federal judge decided today.
A psychologist and psychiatrist both found Loughner unable to help in his own defense or understand the proceedings.
Doctors say he is schizophrenic.
U.S. District Judge Larry A. Burns said doctors report Loughner is unable to help with his defense because of his irrational distrust of lawyers.
He doesn’t understand the system and the role played by everyone, doctors said in their reports.
Loughner doesn’t think he can get a fair trial because of a conspiracy, the judge was told by doctors.
He will be hospitalized for no more than four months to see if he can be restored to competency.
The evaluators found that Loughner, 22, had been developing serious mental illness for the past two to three years. Hearing this, his parents sobbed.
Loughner was removed from the court hearing earlier after an outburst.
It was difficult to understand his first sentence, but some people heard him say “Thank you for the freak show.” Others heard him saying thank you for the free pill or kill.
But then he said: “She died in front of me.” It was unclear who he was referring to.
Loughner then shouted “You’re treasonous!” Two deputy marshals grabbed him and hustled him out a side door.
After being asked by the judge if he wanted to remain in the courtroom or watch the proceedings on TV, Loughner said he wanted to watch it on TV.
Wild Thing's comment......
The judge is the one who is incompetent.
Jared Loughner was competent enough to pull the trigger ~ I say death penalty.
Remember the ending of "10 to Midnight" starring Charlie Bronson, when the killer who was released pending the outcome of his insanity plea, "I'm sick, you can't do anything to me, you'll hear from me again...you and the whole f'ing world."
"Oh no we won't." *BLAM*

MSNBC Ed Schultz Apologizes To Laura Ingraham
Ed Schultz apologizing tonight on his MSNBC program for what he called “vile” comments he made about conservative Laura Ingraham on his radio program this week. Schultz called Ingraham a “talk slut.”
A clearly shaken Schultz said he had “embarrassed himself” and his family, and said he tried to call Laura Ingraham today and apologize to her personally, but was unable to make contact with her.
Schultz said he has offered to take himself off the air at MSNBC for a period of time to make amends.
.
Here is what he had said about Laura:
"Rain, thunderstorms, winds getting whipped into tornadoes of horrific proportions. Hot weather, all of this stuff. And what are the Republicans thinking about? They’re not thinking about their next-door neighbor. They’re just thinking about how much this is going to cost. President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Missouri, on Sunday. But you know what they’re talking about? Like this right-wing slut, what’s her name, Laura Ingraham? Yeah, she’s a talk slut. You see, she was, back in the day, praising President Reagan when he was drinking a beer overseas. But now that Obama’s doing it, they’re working him over."
Finally the other shoe dropped on the Ed Schultz controversy on Wednesday.
In a release from MSNBC management, the network announced it would suspend Schultz for one week without pay for remarks he made on his Tuesday radio show calling conservative talker Laura Ingraham a “right-wing slut.” However, Schultz will be permitted to address the remarks on his Wednesday television show with the suspension beginning immediately afterwards:
“MSNBC management met with Ed Schultz this afternoon and accepted his offer to take one week of unpaid leave for the remarks he made yesterday on his radio program. Ed will address these remarks on his show tonight, and immediately following begin his leave. Remarks of this nature are unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” the statement reads.
On his Tuesday radio program, Schultz took a shot at conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham for her criticism of President Barack Obama’s trip to Ireland, where he enjoyed a Guinness, while the Midwestern United States was being hit by severe weather.
“And what do the Republicans thinking about?” Schultz said. “They’re not thinking about their next-door neighbor. They’re just thinking about how much this is going to cost. President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Mo., on Sunday but you know what they’re talking about, like this right-wing slut, what’s her name?, Laura Ingraham? Yeah, she’s a talk slut. You see, she was, back in the day, praising President Reagan when he was drinking a beer overseas. But now that Obama’s doing it, they’re working him over.”
A watchdog group called for the suspension of Schultz earlier in the day. However, Ingraham dismissed Schultz’s comments in a Facebook posting earlier in the day.

Senate Dems Might Join Rebuff Of Obama On Israeli Border Issue
Senate Dems might join rebuff of Obama on Israeli border issue
Senate Democrats are expected to support a resolution intended as a rebuff to President Obama’s call for basing Middle East peace talks on the 1967 Israeli-Palestinian borders.
It would be a rare rebuke of the president by the upper chamber and a sign that Democrats are worried about the impact of last week’s speech on the U.S.-Israel relationship and pro-Israel constituents.
Democrats in both chambers are scrambling to fix the damage caused when Obama called for the 1967 borders and land swaps as a basis for peace.
Some Democrats have tried to downplay the rift, but Israel’s strongest supporters in Congress say there’s no denying that Obama made a tactical mistake in handling the relationship.
“I wish that the president had not made the speech on Thursday, particularly not made it — I gather — without much consultation” with Israel, said Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.), an Independent who caucuses with Democrats. “So I think it was a tactical mistake.”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) rebuked Obama over Israel in a speech to AIPAC on Monday.
House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) offered a similarly rousing defense of Israel while speaking to AIPAC on Sunday.
Rep. Robert Andrews (D-N.J.) said Tuesday that Obama is "tilting toward Hamas" – a reference to the Palestinian group the United States and Israel consider a terrorist organization. He emphasized that Congress would never base its approach to Israeli aid on such a position.
Wild Thing's comment......
“Rep. Robert Andrews (D-N.J.) said Tuesday that Obama is “tilting toward Hamas”
Tilting. TILTING???!!!!! Obama is more then tilting and has been from the beginning. It only took this genius Robert Andrews ( democrat) three years to figure it out - truly remarkable for a member of congress. Andrews is a socialist RAT (one of the crafters of Obamacare) .
Obama is obsessed with Muslims and Islam. It is almost all he ever talks about. Have you noticed how he is doing it more and more each week that passes?

US State Department Advisory: Get the Hell Out of Yemen, Now!
Anti-government protestors, shout slogans during a demonstration demanding the resignation of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, in Sanaa, Yemen, Wednesday, May 25, 2011. Yemen's embattled President Ali Abdullah Saleh issued messages of hard-line defiance Wednesday even as intense battles raged in the heart of the capital for a third day, saying he will not step down or allow the country to become a "failed state." (AP Photo/Hani Mohammed)
US State Department Advisory: Get the Hell Out of Yemen, Now!
The State Department has just put this advisory out on twitter:
We urge U.S. citizens not to travel to Yemen & U.S. citizens currently in Yemen depart while commercial transport is available.
Yemen is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the north, the Red Sea to the west, and Oman to the east.
Yemen is an economic mess. It is the poorest country in the Arab world and has an official unemployment rate of 65%. The government survives off of oil reserves that are expected to be depleted by 2017.
Who is behind the current unrest? It is not completely clear, although it should be noted that control over Yemen's Aden port - the "gate to Asia" - brings huge benefits. Currently those benefits go to the US. And it is interesting that Yemen is next door to Saudi Arabia. The Saudi monarchy certainly doesn't want any changes in the Yemen regime. Saudi Arabia has been supplying troops to help quell the Yemen uprising.
If President Ali Abdullah Saleh resigns and a favorite of the US fills the power vacuum, then if I am Saudi Arabia, I get a bit nervous. Saleh has always played a cagey game and was a close ally of Saddam Hussein. A total US puppet on the border of Saudi Arabia or an anti-US regime on the border is not a positive for the Saudis. Both cause problems for Saudi Arabia, differing problems, but problems for sure.
US orders nonessential diplomats to leave Yemen
WASHINGTON
The State Department on Wednesday ordered nonessential U.S. diplomats to depart Yemen and urged all Americans there to leave as security conditions deteriorated with the country's embattled leader refusing to step down.
The decision to tell most nonessential personnel and the families of all American staff at the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa to leave was a sign of Washington's increasing concern about the situation in Yemen, where street battles between supporters and opponents of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh raged for a third day. The clashes have left at least 41 dead and dozens badly injured.
"The security threat level in Yemen is extremely high due to terrorist activities and civil unrest," the State Department said in its advisory. "There is ongoing civil unrest throughout the country and large-scale protests in major cities."

President G.W. Bush Nearly Hit In Head By Foul Ball At Baseball Game
“Obviously, I knew (the former president) was there,” Pierzynski said. “When I saw the ball go up, I actually thought I had a chance to catch it. I was going to reach around. I needed about another foot and then I realized I almost jumped in the president’s lap. It was funny. I had Nolan Ryan and George W. Bush sitting within 5 feet of each other.”
“I told him just ’cause he was the president doesn’t mean I wouldn’t jump on top of him. He and his wife got a good chuckle out of it. It was a light moment.”

More Bad Hair Days For Michelle Obama
In an attempt to fit in with the Royal Family's penchant for wearing outlandish hats, First Lady Michelle Obama shows off her own designer hat, called "The Trafacant". (Mr. Speaker, BEAM ME UP! )
Strong gusts had Mrs Obama clutching on to her dress as it threatened to blow up into the air during the event staged in Buckingham Palace's gardens.
It appeared the politician's wife could have benefited from a trick employed by the Queen's dressmakers, who sew tiny weights into the hems of her gowns.
Mrs Obama clung on to her outfit, which appeared to be made from a light fabric, and fought a battle with the wind but managed to win in the end.
The blast also caused havoc with the first lady's hair, which was left standing on end at one point.

The Bin Laden Backlash:Angry Muslims Demonstrate Outside Downing Street as Obama Visits Britain

Angry Muslims demonstrate outside Downing Street as Obama visits Britain
Muslim activists descended on Downing Street today in protest at Barack Obama's state visit to London.
As the president met David Cameron in Whitehall, an angry crowd of burka clad women as well as protesters from Muslims Against Crusades gathered on the streets outside.
They were joined by a number of prominent campaigners, including Anjem Choudary.The radical cleric said that President Obama has made himself a 'legitimate target' for Muslim extremists after the killing of Osama bin Laden.
He called for Mr Obama to be dragged before a sharia court over his role in the war in Afghanistan.
Speaking before the march on Downing Street Choudary said Mr Obama was enemy number one for Muslims.
Choudary said Obama was an 'even greater killer of Muslims' than his predecessor George Bush.
He said: 'Just like Osama Bin Laden is the number one enemy for the west, Obama is for Muslims.
'He is a war criminal, it goes without saying. He has slain more Muslims than even his predecessor George Bush and has overseen the escalation of the war on Islam.
'He must be arrested and face a sharia court for his crimes.'
He added: 'The only security risk in today's march will be because some may see him as a legitimate target for what he has done.
'The anti-Obama camp is far bigger than the pro-Obama.
Choudary said he was also holding the demonstration to voice his disapproval with the way the U.S. administration killed terrorist chief Osama bin Laden.
He said: 'They say they believe in justice and yet they act like common criminals breaking in and killing a man.
'If they wanted justice they should have captured Osama and taking him to a Sharia Court to face charges instead they act like common criminals and murders.'
Choudary was eventually dragged away by police, prompting scuffles to break out with his supporters.

Prayers For All The People Where These Tornadoes Are Hitting
Death Toll Reaches 122 from Joplin Tornado; 1,500 People Still Unaccounted For
.
RAW Video: Huge tornado on LIVE TV Oklahoma City May 24 2011
Unbelievable video from Oklahoma City during rush hour.
JOPLIN, MO.
About 1,500 people are unaccounted for in this battered city, a Fire Department official said Tuesday, as rescue workers took advantage of a few hours of sunny weather to continue searching for survivors in buildings leveled by the country’s deadliest tornado in more than 60 years. At least 122 people have died.
While the number of those unaccounted for is alarmingly high in a city with only 49,000 people — and raises the specter of a far higher death count — it may merely be a reflection of the widespread breakdown of communication systems here in the wake of Sunday’s vicious storm. Many residents who fled ahead of the tornado or survived it may be unable to notify the authorities or family members who have reported them missing.
Capt. Robert Daus of the Maryland Heights Fire District, who is helping to lead a team of about 100 St. Louis-area firefighters in search and rescue operations in Joplin, said that in addition to the 1,500 people who remain unaccounted for, an additional 750 had been injured by the tornado, which cut a three-quarter-mile-wide path through this southwestern Missouri city and damaged as many as 30 percent of its buildings.

It is heartbreaking to see this happening. I can't rememeber this ever happening like this with so many tornadoes.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu A True Leader Speaks At AIPAC
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) Monday that he will outline a vision for a peace plan when he addresses a joint session of Congress on Tuesday.
"I intend to speak the unvarnished truth because now more than ever what we need is peace," he said in a speech to the pro-Israel lobby.
"Thank You For Defending Israel's Right To Defend Itself!" Benjamin Netanyahu
Netanyahu was defiant in his opposition to the position that President Obama's articulated in a speech last Thursday that the 1967 lines, with agreed swaps, should be the basis for future negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.
"Israel cannot return to the indefensible 1967 lines," he said to roaring applause from the crowd.
“Israel is not what’s wrong with the Middle East. Israel is what is RIGHT with the Middle East.”Netanyahu!
Several times during his speech Netanyahu was interrupted by hecklers from the anti-war group Codepink, who protested Israel's polices in the West Bank and Gaza. via abcnews.

Dictator Obama Adds New Position to Deal with Unfavorable Online Media
Dictator Obama Adds New Position to Deal with Unfavorable Online Media
The White House has named Jesse Lee to a new position within its communications department titled Director of Progressive Media & Online Response. According to The Huffington Post, Lee will essentially be responsible for building up Obama’s online presence as he prepares for his reelection bid, and squashing any negative stories.
The post is a new one for this White House. Rapid response has usually been outsourced to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), if not done on an ad-hoc basis by administration officials. And it signals that the White House will be adopting a more aggressive defense of the president and his policies as his re-election campaign gears up.

Sarah Palin - We the People Need To Rise Up And Take A Stand For Israel
Palin on Fox News with Jeanine Pirro
In a Fox News appearance Saturday night, Sarah Palin slammed President Barack Obama's Middle East speech and revealed that she'd like to change her cell phone ringtone to Gretchen Wilson's "Redneck Woman."
The former Alaska governor chastised President Obama for seeking a Middle East peace agreement at the expense of Israel's territory.
“Anyone who studies history, studies the old testament, studies geography understands that Israel now is surrounded by enemies at all times,” Palin said on Jeanine Pirro’s “Justice With Judge Jeanine.” “It should be now that America takes a stand in defending our enemies in Israel.”
"More than ever we should be standing strong with Israel and saying ‘No, you don't have to divide Jerusalem, you don't have to divide your capital city,’” she added.
Palin went on to say that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “does not need to be lectured by President Obama on the importance of peace. He understands it.”
“I'm going to call him our temporary leader because my goal is to make sure that President Obama is not reelected in 2012 so that we don't have to continue to go down this path of this foreign policy that really makes no sense,” she said.

Tel Aviv Protesters To Obama: Israel Won't Commit Suicide
The protesters begged President Obama, “Don’t send us to our death!”
Israeli protesters held a “We Won’t Commit Suicide” rally today in Tel Aviv. Patriot Caroline Glick led the protest in front of the US Embassy
Tal Perry left his Tel Aviv office where he works for a hedge fund to tie a noose around his neck on the city’s boardwalk by the sea.
The black haired smiling 27-year-old wasn’t trying to commit suicide. He was part of a small group of right wing Israelis who wanted to send a simple message to US President Barack Obama: “Do not hang us” by promoting a suicidal policy.
Exactly at the moment that Obama was addressing the American Public Affairs Committee in Washington, the protesters gathered at the boardwalk just outside of the American embassy, where they hung large white and red banners of the gray steel barrier that said: “Israel won’t commit suicide.”
Other smaller signs read: “Israel can’t be divided,” “Obama change your mind,” and “No, to the Auschwitz lines of 1949.”

“I said that the United States believes that negotiations should result in two states, with permanent Palestinian borders with Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and permanent Israeli borders with Palestine.

Obama To Use London Visit To Pressure Prime Minister David Cameron To Back Palestinian State With Pre-1967 Borders
Obama wants Cameron to back Palestinian state with pre-1967 borders
US president will use visit to London to keep pressure on Israel for Middle East peace deal
Barack Obama will seek a joint Middle East agreement with David Cameron, insisting that a Palestinian state should be based on pre-1967 borders – a proposal rejected by Israel's prime minister as "unrealistic" and "indefensible".
The issue will be raised in private talks between the two men during the state visit by Obama and his wife to London, only the third by a US president in 100 years. Afghanistan, Libya, relations with Pakistan and the global economy – as well as the vacancy for the top job at the IMF – will also make up the agenda.
Despite the outright rejection by the Israeli premier, Netanyahu, of a Palestinian state based on the borders that existed before the Six Day War, when Israel captured and occupied the West Bank and Gaza, Obama has already secured the political backing of the United Nations, European Union and Russia who, with America, are collectively known as the "quartet".
Signalling his determination to keep up pressure on Israel, Obama will be looking to enlist the public support of the UK prime minister. The aim is, in large part, to persuade the Palestinian leadership not to go to the UN in September seeking symbolic backing for an independent state.

Canada PM Stephen Harper Refuses to Back Obama’s Call For Israel to Withdraw to 1967 Borders
Canada PM Stephen Harper Refuses to Back Obama’s Call For Israel to Withdraw to 1967 Borders
The Harper government is refusing to join the United States in calling for a return to 1967 borders as a starting point for Mideast peace, a position that has drawn sharp criticism from Canada’s staunch ally Israel.
At a briefing ahead of the upcoming G8 summit in France, federal officials said the basis for the negotiations must be mutually agreed upon.
Israel quickly rejected U.S. President Barack Obama’s proposal for the talks to be guided by the 1967 borders, with mutually agreed land swaps.
“What the government of Canada supports is basically a two-state solution that is negotiated,” a senior federal official said. “If it’s border, if it’s others issues, it has to be negotiated, it cannot be unilateral action.”
Pressed by reporters, federal officials said both the Israelis and the Palestinians have to decide on their bottom lines, which the Israelis have said will not include a return to the 1967 border.
“If the two parties are of the view that this is a starting point, that is fine for them,” said the federal official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The Prime Minister’s director of communications, Dimitri Soudas, added that Canada’s position continues to be the search for a two-state solution.
“No solution, ultimately, is possible without both parties sitting down, negotiating and agreeing on what that final outcome will look like,” he said.
Mr. Obama boosted Palestinian hopes for an independent state during a speech by pointedly calling on Israel to regard its 1967 borders as the basis for a neighbouring Palestinian state in Gaza and the West Bank.

Obama: I Don't Need Your Permission
In an effort to satisfy those arguing he needs to seek congressional authorization to continue US military activity in accordance with the War Powers Resolution, President Obama wrote a letter to congressional leaders this afternoon suggesting that the role is now so “limited” he does not need to seek congressional approval.
“Since April 4,” the president wrote, “U.S. participation has consisted of: (1) non-kinetic support to the NATO-led operation, including intelligence, logistical support, and search and rescue assistance; (2) aircraft that have assisted in the suppression and destruction of air defenses in support of the no-fly zone; and (3) since April 23, precision strikes by unmanned aerial vehicles against a limited set of clearly defined targets in support of the NATO-led coalition’s efforts.”
A senior administration official told ABC News that the letter is intended to describe “a narrow US effort that is intermittent and principally an effort to support to support the ongoing NATO-led and UN-authorized civilian support mission and no fly zone.”
“The US role is one of support,” the official said, “and the kinetic pieces of that are intermittent.”

Three Chrees and Total Respect For Awesome Benjamin Netanyahu as He Says NO Way to the New Arafat anti-Semitic Obama Put To Shame As He Should Be
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday he was prepared to make compromises to peace but he rejected President Barack Obama’s proposal that Israel return to its 1967 borders.
Obama and Netanyahu met at the White House a day after the U.S. president endorsed a longstanding Palestinian demand on the borders for their future state.
In remarks to reporters in the Oval Office, Obama said he had reiterated the principles he had laid out on Thursday.
Netanyahu flatly rejected any return to the 1967 borders, the basis – along with agreed land swaps – for a deal with the Palestinians as laid out in a speech by Obama the day before.
“While Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines,” Netanyahu said, sitting alongside Obama in the Oval Office. “These lines are indefensible, because they don’t take into account certain changes that have taken place on the ground, demographic changes.”
Netanyahu also ruled out any return of Palestinian refugees to Israel proper or that Israel would negotiate with Hamas, branded a terrorist organization by both US and Israel.
“The only peace that will endure is one that is based on reality, on unshakable facts. I think for there to be peace, the Palestinians will have to accept some basic realities. The first is that while Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines. Because these lines are indefensible. Because they don’t take into account certain changes that have taken place on the ground, demographic changes that have taken place over the last 44 years.
Remember that before 1967, Israel was all of 9 miles wide. It was half the width of the Washington beltway. These were not the boundaries of peace. They were the boundaries of repeated wars because the attack on Israel was so attractive for them. We can’t go back to those indefensible lines and we’re going to have to have a long-term military presence along the Jordan. . . .
We’ve been around for almost four thousand years. We’ve experienced struggle and suffering like no other people. We’ve gone through expulsions, pogroms and massacres and the murder of millions.
But I can say that even at the dearth, even at the nadir of the valley of death, we never lost hope and we never lost our dream of reestablishing a sovereign state in our ancient homeland, the land of Israel.
And now it falls on my shoulders as the Prime Minister of Israel, at a time of extraordinary instability and uncertainty in the middle east to work with you and fashion a peace that will ensure Israel’s security and will not jeopardize it’s survival.

AARP That Pushed ObamaDEATHcare and NOT For Seniors, AARP Is Only For Themselves Gets An Obamacare Waiver
The Daily Caller has learned that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) rate review rules, which it finalized on Thursday, exempt “Medigap” policy providers, like the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), from oversight when such providers increase payment rates for their supplemental insurance plans.
Insurance providers who aren’t exempt from Obamacare’s rate review rules are required to publicly release and explain some health care payment rate increases.
The AARP is the nation’s biggest seller of Medigap policies, or supplemental healthcare plans that add onto what Medicare won’t cover for seniors. The senior citizens interest group advocated for Obamacare to include an attack on Medigap policies’ biggest competitor, Medicare Advantage.
Though the White House and HHS dismiss allegations of political favoritism when it comes to who’s getting exceptions from the new health care regulations – such as in the recent uproar over the disproportionate number of Obamacare waivers that went to companies in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s district — Obamacare critics say the mere appearance of the administration helping friends is disturbing.
The appearance of favoritism exists with the new AARP exemptions, too. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Sens. John Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat, and Max Baucus, Montana Democrat, wrote to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius last October asking her not to do what HHS just finalized today – that is exempt Medigap policies from the HHS rate increase oversight.
“While Medicare Advantage premiums are declining, we are hearing disturbing stories from beneficiaries across the country about excessive premium increases for Medigap supplemental insurance policies,” Reid, Baucus and Kerry wrote to Sebelius on Oct. 6.
“For example, some beneficiaries enrolled in the United of Omaha Life Insurance Company will see their Medigap premiums increase by approximately 40 percent between 2010 and 2011,” the letter read. “An increase of this magnitude raises serious concerns about premium-setting practices and rate review procedures in place for Medigap policies.”
Instead of listening to three top Senate Democrats, the Obama administration decided to go ahead anyway with the Medigap exceptions from rate increase reviews.
The AARP was a driving force behind getting Obamacare through Congress, contributing a large sum to the $121 million advertising campaign pushing it, and spending millions more lobbying for it on Capitol Hill.
The senior citizen advocacy organization stands to make huge profits from Medicare Advantage cuts and from the exemptions it will benefit from when it comes to the Medigap plans sold under what AARP CEO A. Barry Rand calls the AARP’s “for-profit side.”
The AARP’s support of Obamacare during the debate over the legislation raised lots of eyebrows nationwide, as President Obama called for $313 billion in cuts to Medicare to push the plan through. Seniors weren’t happy about it, and many ripped AARP representatives at town hall meetings nationwide.
Now, though, it’s clear that the AARP is set to make millions, if not billions, of extra dollars in Medigap plan sales moving forward because they’ve effectively knocked out their biggest competitor, Medicare Advantage, through Obamacare.

After AARP gets ‘waiver’ from Obamacare, conservative groups fight for information, answers
After President Barack Obama’s administration tossed the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) the equivalent of an Obamacare waiver on Thursday, conservative groups Let Freedom Ring and 60 Plus grilled Obama again for the appearance of favoritism. Obamacare is taking heat from critics, who accuse the administration of “crony capitalism,” after The Daily Caller reported this week that about 20 percent of the latest slew of waivers from parts of the healthcare overhaul went to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco district.
“This is getting ridiculous, special waivers for labor unions, Nancy Pelosi’s constituents, and now AARP. How about the rest of America?,” Let Freedom Ring’s President Colin Hanna said. “The President and his radical bureaucrats need a reminder that we are a country of EQUAL protection under the law!”
Jim Martin, chairman of 60 Plus, the conservative alternative to the AARP, likens the AARP’s latest Obama administration gift to a “payoff” and that this “doesn’t surprise” him “one iota.”
“It’s payoff time to the AARP (some call it bribery) for selling out seniors and endorsing Obamacare, an awful proposal which makes no sense to seniors who know it’s bad medicine for them,” Martin said in a statement. “But it makes sense to the AARP, dollars and cents, that is, to its bottom line. The AARP made over a half billion in profits last year, selling ‘low cost’ insurance and other goodies to seniors. But that’s nothing.”
Martin went on to explain how Obamacare, which the AARP actively advocated for, damages the AARP’s biggest competitor, Medicare Advantage. He adds that the AARP is likely to make millions, if not billions, more dollars in the coming years because it can sell many more Medigap plans without competition.
“Now the cash register will ring even louder as these money-hungry merchants fleece the elderly,” Martin said. “AARP was the single most powerful organization supporting ObamaCare, yet now they want out of the relationship, so that they can make millions selling Medi-gap insurance to the very seniors they betrayed. If there is a more clear example of corruption and hypocrisy, I’ve yet to see it in my over seven decades on the planet. That’s why we call them the Association Against Retired Persons.”

EVIL !!!! Beyond outrageous!
AARP lobbied vigorously for Obamacare in order to be relieved of its money-losing medical insurance program—and now gets a waiver!
So this is the new order. Laws are passed by the left that only those on the right have to follow. The left is exempt from the law. As, apparently, they are also exempt from taxes, since half the population does not pay tax, and votes Democratic.

UNIONS Threaten Obama: Do More For Us Or We'll Pull Funding
The nation‘s largest labor federation is weighing whether to pull political support from congressional Democrats who aren’t doing enough to back labor unions.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka is expected to issue the warning in a speech Friday at the National Press Club.
The AFL-CIO’s executive council is considering a plan that could spend less on congressional races and more on fighting state battles like those in Wisconsin and Ohio, where lawmakers want to weaken collective bargaining rights and reduce union clout.

"Obama is the new Arafat!",'Obama adopting Arafat’s staged plan for Israel’s end' Says Knesset Members ~ They Are Correct!
'Obama adopting Arafat’s staged plan for Israel’s end'
Knesset members on the Right expressed outrage on Thursday night at US President Barack Obama's call for the creation of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps in an exchange of territory for security.
They called upon Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to reject Obama's plan when he meets with him on Friday in Washington.
"Barack Hussein Obama adopted the staged plan for Israel's destruction of Yasser Arafat, and he is trying to force it on our prime minister," said Likud MK Danny Danon. "All that was new in the speech was that he called for Israel to return to 1967 borders without solving the crisis. Netanyahu has only one option: To tell Obama forget about it."
National Union MK Michael Ben-Ari also slammed Obama's speech, calling it "a landmine with pretty wrapping."
Environment Minister Gilad Erdan, who as a minister close to Netanyahu must be more diplomatic, complained on Channel 2 that according to Obama's approach, the Palestinians would receive their demands on borders before negotiations begin.
"Once they have everything from the start, they have no reason to make any concessions,"Erdan said.
But opposition leader Tzipi Livni said Obama's plan was clearly in Israel's interests, while the diplomatic stalemate that she believes was brought on by Netanyahu is not.

Wild Thing's comment.......
First of all I have to say that opposition leader Tzipi Livni , she is a POS. BiBi is a good man and he loves Israel and thank God he won and that Livni did NOT. “clearly in Israel’s interest” ? Wow! This sure shows what a disaster Livni was for Israel. Pathetic. Tzipi Livni is a surrender monkey of the first order. Horrible woman. I remember her from the days before Netanyahu got back into office.
Interesting that obama chose to make this announcement only a few days after the anniversary of Israel, (May 15). Instead of a word of support, he gives this.
In obama's speech, he told Israel to move back to the 1967 borders he effectively gave to the Hamas-Fatah terror alliance.
half of Jerusalem,
the Wailing Wall,.....or simply The Kotel, is a retaining wall in Jerusalem that dates from the time of the Jewish Second Temple (516 BCE – 70 CE). It is sometimes referred to as the Wailing Wall (Arabic: il-Mabka), referring to Jews mourning the destruction of the Temple. The Western Wall is part of the bigger religious site in the Old City of Jerusalem called Har ha-Bayit (the Temple Mount) to Jews and Christians, or Al-Haram al-Qudsi al-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary) to Muslims. The Western Wall is revered for its proximity to the sacred Holy of Holies on the Temple Mount, which is the Most Holy Place in Judaism. This makes the Western Wall the holiest location in Judaism that is currently generally accessible to the Jewish people for prayer.
The Temple Mount,
Old Jerusalem,
The holiest Christian Church in the world, The Church of the Holy Sepulchre .......The Church of the Holy Sepulcher (Church of the Holy Sepulchre) commemorates the hill of crucifixion and the tomb of Christ’s burial. Greek Orthodox, Catholic, Armenian, Syrian, Coptic, and Ethiopian Churches celebrate this holy place as the site of the death and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Netanyahu Rejects Obama Call for Palestinian State Based on 1967 Borders Calls It 'Indefensible'
Netanyahu Rejects Obama Call for Palestinian State Based on 1967 Borders ('Indefensible')
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu swiftly rejected President Obama's call Thursday for Israel to pull back to the borders that existed before the 1967 Six-Day War, calling those lines militarily "indefensible."
Obama, in a sweeping address tackling the uprisings in the Middle East and the stalled peace process, stunned Washington and Jerusalem by endorsing Palestinians' demand for their own state based on the pre-1967 borders. The break with longstanding U.S. policy appeared to immediately aggravate the Israelis, who want the borders of any future Palestinian state determined through negotiations.
In a statement released late Thursday, Netanyahu said such a withdrawal would jeopardize Israel's security and leave major West Bank settlements outside Israeli borders.
"Israel appreciates President Obama's commitment to peace," the statement said. "Israel believes that for peace to endure between Israelis and Palestinians, the viability of a Palestinian state cannot come at the expense of the viability of the one and only Jewish state. That is why Prime Minister Netanyahu expects to hear a reaffirmation from President Obama of U.S. commitments made to Israel in 2004. ... Among other things, those commitments relate to Israel not having to withdraw to the 1967 lines."
The U.S. had previously endorsed the concept of a Palestinian state, but not the demand for permanent pre-1967 borders, with mutually agreed land swaps. The declaration comes ahead of a meeting in Washington between Obama and Netanyahu.

Rabbi: 'The President of the United States is Asking for Ethnic Cleansing'
Barack Obama has made an unprecedented demand on Israel, Jewish leaders said today after the president called for Israel to redraw its borders to where they were in 1967 before the Six Day War. One rabbi said Obama was, in essence, asking for “ethnic cleansing” of thousands of Jewish families.
“It’s immoral in that basically the president of the United States is asking that 500,000 people who live, work, and raise families around Jerusalem — Jewish families — that they be uprooted, resettled, deported from their homes, have their families broken,” Rabbi Aryeh Spero, founder of Caucus for America, told CNSNews.com.
“The president of the United States is asking for ethnic cleansing,” said Rabbi Spero. “It’s ironic that the president, who speaks in humanitarian tones regarding the Palestinians, doesn’t have any humanitarian concerns toward 500,000 Jewish people and families that will be uprooted and deported from their homes.”

Terrorists PA President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas Spokesman Not Happy With Speech By Barack Hussein ARAFAT Obama
Abbas calls emergency meeting on Obama address
PA president seeks urgent consultations with Arab leaders over address; Hamas spokesmen accuses Obama of "deception," favoritism to Israel.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday called an emergency meeting of the PA leadership to discuss US President Barack Obama’s speech on peace in the Middle East, a PA official in Ramallah said.
Abbas has also decided to hold urgent consultations with a number of Arab leaders on the speech, the official said.
PLO Executive Committee member Saeb Erekat said that Abbas remained committed to fulfilling all Palestinian obligations in accordance with international agreements, especially the road map plan and the 2002 Arab peace initiative.
Erekat said that the PA was hoping that the Israeli government would fulfill its obligations “to give the peace process the chance it deserves.”
Erekat said that Abbas appreciated Obama’s efforts to resume the peace talks between the Palestinians and Israel so as to reach a final solution on the core issues according to an agreed timetable.
“President Abbas affirms his appreciation for President Obama’s declaration regarding people’s right to self-determination, freedom and dignity, as well as ensuring freedom of worship,” Erekat added. “The Palestinians need more than any other people such issues to get rid of occupation.”
Hamas, on the other hand, accused Obama of “deception” and bias in favor of Israel.
Hamas spokesman Ismail Radwan told Agence France Press that his movement does not believe in US policies because they are biased in favor of Israel and deny Palestinian rights.
.
Hamas: Obama speech a complete failure
The Hamas movement called US President Barack Obama's Mideast policy speech a "complete failure," saying it was like "throwing sand in the eyes of the public."
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri claimed the speech lacked content, adding that his organization "is opposed to intervention in our internal affairs." Abu Zuhri urged the Palestinian Authority to dismiss the speech, and emphasized the need to "coordinate the stances of Palestinian forces against the American arrogance."
Terrorists unimpressed with Obama’s words: President Barack Obama’s Mideast policy speech Thursday was a “total failure,” Hamas said Thursday evening.
“The (Arab) nation does not need a lesson on democracy from Obama,” said Hamas spokesman in the Gaza Strip, Sami Abu-Zuhri. “Rather, Obama is the one who needs the lesson given his absolute endorsement of Israel’s crimes and his refusal to condemn Israel’s occupation.”
“We will not recognize the Israeli occupation under any circumstances,” the Hamas spokesman said, while adding: “We object to intervention in our internal affairs.”
Abu-Zuhri also urged the Palestinian Authority not to endorse the American president’s speech. He stressed the need to coordinate Palestinian positions in the face of what he referred to as “American-Israeli arrogance.”
Other Hamas sources said the president’s speech was “deceptive.”
Immediately following Obama’s speech, the Palestinian Authority’s leadership met for an urgent session convened by PA President Mahmoud Abbas.

Obama says Palestine must be based in 1967 borders
President Barack Obama is endorsing the Palestinians' demand for their future state to be based on the borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war, in a move that will likely infuriate Israel. Israel says the borders of a Palestinian state have to be determined through negotiations.
In a speech outlining U.S. policy in the Middle East and North Africa, Obama on Thursday sided with the Palestinians' opening position a day ahead of a visit to Washington by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu is vehemently opposed to referring to the 1967 borders.
Until Thursday, the U.S. position had been that the Palestinian goal of a state based on the 1967 borders, with agreed land swaps, should be reconciled with Israel's desire for a secure Jewish state through negotiations.

Obama Campaign T-shirt Has His FAKE Birth Certificate On Back Trying To Refute Great Book By Jerome Corsi
WMAL Host Chris Plante talks about an Obama campaign T-shirt . BarackObama.com is offering a T-shirt which actually has his birth certificate on the back.
Obama Campaign Hawks Birth Certificate T-Shirt, Campaign Claims Its A “Mobile Version” of Truth Squad to Refute Birther Book
Political Punch Jack Tapper
Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign today started selling “Made in the USA” t-shirts featuring images of both President Obama and the long-form birth certificate he released copies of last month.
“Wear your support for this campaign with an official Made in the USA T-shirt,” his website advertises. Donate $25 or more today and we'll send you your limited-edition shirt.
Coffee-mugs are also available.
“Remember ‘fight the smears’ from the 2008 campaign?” asked campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt. “This is the mobile version of it.”
“Fight the Smears” was an Obama campaign website from 2008 that attempted to refute untruths about the campaign, such as the claim that then-Sen. Obama was a Muslim.
Part of the reason for the shirts, a campaign official told ABC News, is that despite the president’s release last month of his long-form birth certificate, conservative fact-challenged author Jerome Corsi’s book “Where's the Birth Certificate?: The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President” was published this week.
Selling products featuring the long-form birth certificate might be a risk for the campaign, given how seriously the president and many of his top aides have objected to the birther lie, some suggesting that it is in no small part a racist way to make the president seem “other.” Merchandise featuring the birth certificate could be seen as trivializing those concerns, or even crassly exploiting them to raise campaign cash.
.
It's out! The book that proves Obama's ineligible
Today's ( May 17th 2011 ) the day Corsi is unleashed to tell all about that 'birth certificate'
Jerome Corsi's blockbuster making the case that Barack Obama is ineligible for the presidency hits bookstore shelves across the nation today – a day on which Corsi is turned loose to tell Americans what he has discovered about what he claims is a fraudulent birth certificate released in desperation to hush widespread public concern about Obama's constitutional qualifications for office.
"With the unprecedented success of this book several weeks ago, reaching No. 1 at Amazon, I fully expected Obama, in desperation, to release a fraudulent document – and that's exactly what he did," said Corsi. "I was warned by excellent sources it was coming. And it's not even a good forgery. I am prepared to tell all beginning today – not only about the birth certificate, but also to explain why even a birth on U.S. soil could not possibly qualify Obama for the presidency as a natural born citizen."
Corsi says Obama has now boxed himself in with the release of the fraudulent birth certificate and will be forced to live with the results.
"I'm going to be telling the entire world about this scandal over the next few weeks," said Corsi. "This is going to make Watergate look like a political sideshow by comparison."

Could it be because it's referring to the fraudulent birth certificate??

The Bully In Office Obama Shuts Out Boston Herald At WH Press Pool Because Of Front Page Placement of a Mitt Romney op-ed
The thin-skinned Obama White House has once again retaliated against an news source for not being sufficiently supportive of President Obama. This time, it’s the Boston Herald. Their offense: Running a Mitt Romney op-ed on their front page. Their punishment: Barred from being part of the White House Pool of Reporters during Obama’s fundraising visit to Boston yesterday.
Is the Herald’s banishment a punishment ; a time-out for bad behavior? Punishment by the Obama White House isn’t new - remember the reporter at a fund-raiser headlined by Joe Biden who was held in a utility closet for more than an hour to keep him away from the donors?
Whatever the reason, using the White House press pool to punish or reward media based on what the White House considers “fair” coverage is either paranoia, petty behavior, or both, but it really doesn’t matter: It’s censorship, Mr. President. Plain and simple.
White House Press Office has refused to give the Boston Herald full access to President Obama’s Boston fund-raiser today, in e-mails objecting to the newspaper’s front page placement of a Mitt Romney op-ed, saying pool reporters are chosen based on whether they cover the news “fairly.”
“I tend to consider the degree to which papers have demonstrated to covering the White House regularly and fairly in determining local pool reporters,” White House spokesman Matt Lehrich wrote in response to a Herald request for full access to the presidential visit.
“My point about the op-ed was not that you ran it but that it was the full front page, which excluded any coverage of the visit of a sitting US President to Boston. I think that raises a fair question about whether the paper is unbiased in its coverage of the President’s visits,”
Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom defended Romney’s March 8 opinion piece:
“That op-ed was about jobs, which apparently is a sensitive subject for the thin-skinned people around the president. The White House may be able to manipulate pool coverage, but they can’t manipulate the fact that millions of Americans are out of work because of President Obama’s failure to create jobs and get our economy moving,” Fehrnstrom said in a statement yesterday.
The administration has a history of controversial clashes with the press.

Pair this with other actions and efforts to stifle opposition and with efforts to force potential government contractors to disclose their political contributions and forbidding Boeing from setting up a new plan in NC and what you have is the normal mode of operation of all fascist dictators and their government. All of this has to be seen as a war to restore and perserve the Constitution, the Republic and the freedoms we derived from the Constitution.
The democrat party is an enemy to the Constitution, and always has been; there can be no “bipartisanship”, they are not our friends and they need to be politically discredited, destroyed and wiped from our political system.

Gas Station Owners ( Obama Kool-aid drinkers) Rename Their Gas Station....OBAMA
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - A gas station on Columbia's North Main Street has been renamed and redecorated after President Obama.
Two gas stations sit at the corner of Columbia's North Main Street and Prescott Road, the El Cheapo and another station with a new name -- Obama.
"I see more people come in excited with the name," said owner Sam Alhanik, who got the idea from a friend who created an Obama Gas Station in Michigan.
Alhanik has only owned this station for two months. Although born in Yemen, he says he supports America's president. "It's the first president of black people," he said. "It's our president. We like him."
He says he's seen a boom in business since changing the name, one that has sparked quite the competition with the station across the street. Before our interview, the price at the Obama station was $3.59 for a gallon of regular. The price at El Cheapo $3.54.
When we mentioned the difference during our interview, Alhanik's cousin lowered the price to $3.53. Just seconds later, the price at the El Cheapo fell too.
"That's the business," said Alhanik. "I don't want to lose everything. It's a competition."
One that's great for frequent customers like Larry Nelson, who says his stops here more often because of the president's picture. "I feel like it does support him by coming here," said Nelson.
Alhanik spent $4,000 to change the name and the look. "I think it's a good marketing tool," said Chiquita Burton, who owns Salon 5710 on North Main.
Burton says the gas station name change has prompted discussions in her hair salon, but she does not like the idea. "A lot of people think that it's morally and ethically wrong to have the president beside beer, wine and cigarettes," she said. "That's portraying an image to society and also to the children here."

Barack Obama Will Call On Israel To Withdraw To The 1967 Borders ~ Pray BiBi Is Strong Against Obama!
Israeli media reveals U.S. president's forthcoming Mideast speech
JERUSALEM, May 17
U.S. President Barack Obama will call on Israel to withdraw to the 1967 borders and agree to additional concessions that will enable a resumption of the peace process, Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth revealed on Tuesday.
The newspaper claimed to have obtained a draft of Obama’s planned speech at the State Department on Thursday in which he will outline his administration’s Middle East policy, in light of the anti-government protests that have swept the region over the past year.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said Sunday that Obama would raise the need for progress in the peace process. However, he did not reveal whether the president planned to present a diplomatic initiative to revive the process, after negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians broke down last September.
According to Yedioth Ahronoth, Obama will call on Israel to withdraw to the 1967 cease-fire lines with territorial adjustments that will be agreed on in the negotiations with the Palestinian National Authority. The president will label the West Bank settlements as “illegal” and emphasize that Israel must halt their construction.
Obama’s position on the settlement blocs, which Israel slates to remain under its sovereignty in any peace deal, is yet unclear.
The president is also expected to announce his solution regarding the status of Jerusalem and call for its division. The U. S. envisions the city as the shared capital of the two states, Israel and Palestine, side by side in peace.
Such a stand would essentially echo the so-called “Clinton Parameters” offered by then-president Bill Clinton in 2000, which called predominantly Arab neighborhoods to come under the Palestinian sovereignty while Jewish neighborhoods remaining within the Israeli territories.
Yedioth Ahronoth claimed that the contents of Obama's speech were shared with Netanyahu's national security advisor Ya'akov Amidror and his predecessor Uzi Arad in their recent discussions with senior U.S. officials.
Regarding Jerusalem, Netanyahu said the city would remain Israel's "united capital," a position echoed by all Israeli governments since 1967.
The prime minister added that Israel would not be able to strike a peace agreement with a Palestinian government if half of it was comprised of the members of Islamist group Hamas.

Press Corps Fingerprinted For Obama’s Trip To France For G-8 Meeting
Press corps fingerprinted for Obama’s trip to France...The G-8 meeting will be held May 26-27 in Deauville, France
The French government has fingerprinted U.S. journalists who will travel with President Obama to France for the G-8 summit next week.
Journalists were required to submit to “biometric” fingerprinting at the French Embassy in Washington, an embassy spokesman confirmed. The requirement raised some eyebrows among the White House press corps, whose members did not undergo the same security measures for Mr. Obama’s trip to Latin America in March.
Luis Vassy, an embassy spokesman, said his government implemented the new requirement in January. “There are no exceptions to biometrics fingerprinting for regular visa applicants,” Mr. Vassy said. “It is also my understanding that French journalists coming to the U.S. go through a similar process, that includes also fingerprinting, both for the visa application and at the entry port.”
The United States and France are reciprocating members in a visa-waiver program, meaning that each nation’s citizens can travel to the other country without the need to apply for a visa for up to 90 days. All visa-waiver travelers must have a biometric passport, which includes fingerprinting.
In the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002, Congress mandated the use of biometrics in U.S. visas. American embassies and consulates abroad must issue to travelers machine-readable, tamper-resistant visas that use biometric identifiers.The U.S. government has decided to require 10 fingerprint scans of visitors.
The U.S. government, however, has yet to implement a biometric system that can track those leaving the country, and the technology of biometrics has raised concerns in some quarters about the potential for identity theft.

An Arrogant Newt Gingrich On Greta van Susteren Show Re: Tiffany’s He Says "not playing Trivial Pursuit" and Then Compares Midwest To N. Korea
Greta van Susteren last night where he was trying to do damage control for his comments about Paul Ryan’s Medicare Plan and his support for at least a “variation” on the “individual mandate” in ObamaCare.
But Greta asks him here about a report that he had a bill of between $250,000 – $500,000 at Tiffany’s in New York. Gingrich refused to answer Greta’s question as to whether he had such a large bill and if he had paid it.
Gingrich said he would only talk about issues that matter to the American People, and would not talk about something like that. “I’m not playing Trivial Pursuit.”
At the very end of the segment, Greta said she would love to come out to Iowa and follow him around on the campaign trail if he would allow it.
Gingrich responded with, “It’s not quite North Korea, but come and see what it’s like in the Midwest.”
Oh my. It might be important to know that Greta just returned from North Korea. That’s the context of why Gingrich made the remark. Otherwise, if people don’t know that, Gingrich just compared the Midwest to North Korea !!
Also Newt Gingrich told Greta Van Susteren that he called Rep. Paul Ryan and apologized.
“I made a mistake. And, I called my friend Paul Ryan today and said that.”

Good Grief! Obama's Ugly Commie Face Soon To Pop Up On Your Cell Phone
Obama's face soon to pop up on your cell phone
by Andrea Shea King
Your attention please. This IS an alert …
… about a federal PLAN that has stirred up considerable controversy in a climate of deep distrust of Washington, D.C.
Some are comparing "The PLAN" to the ubiquitous "Big Brother telescreen" that ruled the lives of those who lived in the nightmarish world of George Orwell's "1984."
Fast forward to 2011 technology that gives our so-called texter-in-chief the ability to bring Big Brother to your cell phone. When President Obama wants your attention, he will have it. Presented innocuously to the American public as a personal alert on your cell phone to warn of a crisis, the PLAN, or Personal Localized Alerting Network, will sound an alert – or the president will send you a message – whether you want it or not.
Akin to technology that tracks our movements using cell tower and Wi-Fi signals, a poll taken by the New York Daily Times on May 10 revealed that 82 percent said they did not want the service.
Comments included the following:
"Why am I not allowed to opt out of presidential messages? The president is not allowed to insert himself into my life without my consent, and my cell phone is my life. This administration is becoming more Orwellian every day. "
"It's definitely a Big Brother creep out. Remember when the nuts used to say that Bush was going to declare martial law and cancel elections? I'd believe it of this guy."
Rush Limbaugh observed that terrorists – who also carry cell phones – will use it to their advantage and satirically commented on the potential for governmental abuse: "You know, if they don't want us talking to each other, all they gotta do is flood these networks with never-ending emergency alerts. Well, no, no, it's true. If what Bloomberg says is true, they can override any network congestion, they can get through any mess, that means they can stop us from talking to each other, if they wanted, were so inclined, and you know how they feel about tea-party Times Square bombers."
The new system is an expansion of the Federal Communications Commission's emergency alert system currently broadcast over radio and television and is set to be rolled out in New York City by the end of this year. The rest of the U.S. will be online by mid-2012.
And from the "Oh, come on" department, several U.S. senators are quite willing to violate your First Amendment rights with the Protect IP Act, a little piece of legislation that would make linking to certain sites a felony. Care to know who these anti-Constitutionalists are?
Patrick Leahy, Orrin Hatch, Chuck Grassley, Charles Schumer, Dianne Feinstein, Sheldon Whitehouse, Lindsey Graham, Herb Kohl, Chris Coons, Richard Blumenthal, Al Franken, Amy Klobuchar, John Cornyn and Chris Coons.
Read up on the Protect IP Act and then use GradeGov.com to tell them exactly what you think of their meddling.
Wild Thing's comment........
Someone,, name one single government program that has stayed inside it’s original intended use,,, NONE.
This technology to send us text messages is the foot in the door. They absolutely HATE our ability to communicate. A million people show up on the national mall for a TEA rally,,, they declare it a riot and shut off phones in the area.
They introduce it as away to “inform” us. The next step to facilitate that is to stop our outbound ability, “to ensure the towers arent overloaded of course”.

Newt Gingrich 15 Minutes of Fame Are Done....And He Did It To HImself!
On Sunday Newt Gingrich backed Obamacare's Individual Mandate Requiring Health Insurance (Newt praises Romneycare)
.
Charles Krauthammer on Newt Gingrich: “This is a Capital Offense Against (Reagan’s) Eleventh Commandment. He Won’t Recover”
As the day has progressed, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich’s comments on Sunday’s “Meet the Press” attacking House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan’s budget plan have come to haunt him. On Monday’s “Special Report,” syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer became the latest conservative figure to criticize Gingrich, calling his bid for the presidency “over.”
“This is a big deal,” Krauthammer said. “He’s done. He didn’t have a big chance from the beginning but now it’s over. Apart from being contradictory and incoherent as we saw in those two bytes you showed where he contradicted himself in the course of one day on the individual mandate – calling the Republican plan, which all but four Republican members of the House have now endorsed and will be running on, calling it radical and right-wing social engineering is deadly.”
Krauthammer’s criticism of Gingrich echoed that of many other conservatives who said that Gingrich’s words will be used against fellow Republicans in future congressional campaigns.
“I mean, I think every one of these Republican candidates running for the House is going to have a Democratic opponent who’s going to run an ad you can write today. It’s going to start even conservative Newt Gingrich, the former leader of the Republicans in the House, says ‘It’s radical, it’s social engineering.’”
Krauthammer added that Gingrich’s remarks violated Reagan’s “11th commandment.”
“Reagan had the 11th commandment,” Krauthammer said. “Thou shalt not attack fellow Republicans. This is a capital offense against the 11th commandment. He won’t recover.”
House GOP fires back at Newt Gingrich...from Politico
Various comments made by other Republicans about Newt.
Rush on Gingrich‘s ’Inexplicable‘ and ’Mind-Boggling’ Obamacare Comments
Limbaugh characterized Gingrich‘s support for a variation of Obama’s individual insurance mandate as “inexplicable” and “mind-boggling.” The top conservative radio host refused to defend Gingrich’s comments, and even was visibly annoyed while describing Gingrich’s position.
“I am not going to justify this. I am not going to explain it. The attack on Paul Ryan, the support for an individual mandate in health care? Folks, don’t ask me to explain this. There is no explanation! What do you mean, if I don’t explain it, who will? There is no explanation for it. First off, it cuts Paul Ryan off at the knees. It supports the Obama administration in the lawsuits that 26 states have filed over the mandate. I guess, what? Back in 1993, Newt supported an individual mandate, everybody should buy insurance. I am as befuddled as anyone else is what I’m telling you.”

Paul Ryan Responds to Newt Gingrich Attack on His Medicare Plan: “With Allies Like That, Who Needs the Left”
Paul Ryan yesterday on the Laura Ingraham Radio Show reacting to comments by Newt Gingrich on Sunday attacking his plan to save Medicare. Ryan said, “With allies like that, who needs the Left!” Ryan disagreed with Gingrich’s criticism, and said the “radical” thing to do is to keep doing the same thing and let the “whole system implode on itself.”
Brit Humes just ripped Newt for his attacks on Paul Ryan plan
He looked and sounded angry and disgusted.
Hume Slams Gingrich's Hypocrisy: "Provocative Thinker" But "Promiscuous Talker"
"Now he's [Gingrich] not only disparaged a man who is a hero to many Republicans, he has handed Democrats a potent weapon against Ryan and Republicans at the moment they stand accused by the Democrats of trying to destroy Medicare. They were requiring all be responsible for healthcare. he called the idea a variation of the mandate to buy insurance which Mitt Romney passed in Massachusetts. Today, Gingrich is trying to undo it all, claiming he is against a mandate and great admirer of Paul Ryan and so on. Eepublicans must wonder what he will say next and why he said what he did. This is all vintage Gingrich who is what he has always been: A provocative thinker and promiscuous talker," FOX News' Brit Hume said on "Special Report" this evening.

Times have changed and Newt was not paying attention. He and any other rino needs to wake up and realize we have a real live walking talking enemy within! His remarks on Sunday showed how he does not get it at all.
We are facing obamacare, cap and trade, and to many things to even list here. A country that is going broke because of the spending mostly by the left.
Now he is spending his time trying to fix what he said but if you are reading this Newt forgetaboutit! That was the REAL you on Sunday and all this bs yakking now from you is just that BS.

Rep. Allen West on Plan to Cut Energy Costs, Create Jobs
Rep. Allen West on Plan to Cut Energy Costs, Create Jobs
The price of gas has more than doubled since President Obama took office, West said the administration isn't doing enough to lease areas for drilling offshore and on land. Today, the Florida Congressman pumped gas for commuters at a station in Palm Beach to promote more drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, saying it would eventually bring down prices.
.
Rush Limbaugh says it is an obama ploy and I agree!!!!
"So you have Obama saying he wants to ramp up US oil production by extending existing leases and holding more frequent lease sales, but then the EPA has to approve 'em. EPA can dillydally, EPA can disapprove them, EPA can not take action, but Obama's gotten himself on the right side of the issue with words. So this does not mean we're gonna get more oil. It just means Obama is out saying things that he knows people want to hear, 'cause I'm telling you: It has to be that the internal White House polling on Obama's reelect is bad. Don't doubt me. I will believe more oil drilling when he removes the moratorium. I will believe more oil drilling when I see rigs come back to the Gulf of Mexico."~ Rush Limbaugh
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Obama knows like Rush said about the EPA and we will see but I doubt anything obama has said now will change anything and he knows it. He probably just wanted to get those two courts off his back that were threatening him if he did nto start to let the oil companies drill again.

Rep. Peter King: "Obama Really Hurt Our Relationship With Israel"
Rep. Peter King: "Obama Really Hurt Our Relationship With Israel"
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said Obama really hurt our country’s relationship with Israel, our staunch ally, by his actions since coming into office. In his FOX News interview King said it was damaging for Obama to suggest a moral equivalency between Israel and radical Islamists in the region. King also criticized the president for the way he treated Prime Minister Netanyahu.
“Obama really went out of his way to be rude to Prime Minister Netanyahu.”
Wild Thing's comment......
Rep. Peter King is right, obama has done damage and continues to. I hope and pray the Israeli's know that half of our country does not feel like obama does about Israel.

Freedom Or Islam~ Obama Panders To Muslims Instead Of Pushing American Values
Obama: Freedom or Islam?
White House panders to Muslims instead of pushing American values
President Obama is trying to hit the reset button on his outreach efforts to the world’s Muslims. He would do better to focus on aggressively promoting freedom rather than pandering to Islam.
The first round of outreach - kicked off by Mr. Obama’s June 2009 speech in Cairo - was a spectacular failure. Opinion polling on sentiment towards the United States in countries with Muslim majorities showed an initial burst of enthusiasm, followed in 2010 by a collapse. In some cases, Muslim approval of America fell to levels lower than during the waning days of the George W. Bush administration.
Now the White House is using the timing of Osama bin Laden’s death to argue that al Qaeda’s violent approach to political change is passe, and that the popular uprisings sweeping the Middle East represent the wave of the future. However, al Qaeda already has answered this argument. In the Spring 2011 edition of the terror group’s English-language magazine Inspire, the lead editorial by Yahya Ibrahim notes that a “line that is being pushed by Western leaders is that because the protests in Egypt and Tunisia were peaceful, they proved al Qaeda - which calls for armed struggle - to be wrong. That is another fallacy. Al Qaeda is not against regime changes through protests but it is against the idea that the change should be only through peaceful means to the exclusion of the use of force.”
Of course, not all change occurring in the Middle East is peaceful. U.S. and NATO warplanes support armed rebels in Libya, and al Qaeda notes that this vindicates their views on violence. “If the protesters in Libya did not have the flexibility to use force when needed,” Mr. Ibrahim says, “the uprising would have been crushed.” This point is also being proved in Syria, where the United States has been deaf to desperate pleas from dissidents being mowed down by regime troops with the assistance of Iran. No mere speech by Mr. Obama will bring a springtime of freedom to Damascus.
Mr. Obama’s fixation on the means by which change is coming also overlooks that the substance of the change may be precisely what al Qaeda has always advocated. The White House has pushed for the participation of religiously-based parties in Egypt’s new government, but if the Muslim Brotherhood comes to power in Cairo, it will pursue domestic and foreign policies indistinguishable from those bin Laden deputy Ayman al-Zawahri would implement if he were in charge. Islamism is the objective, whether achieved by bombs or ballots.
Mr. Ibrahim says that in al Qaeda’s opinion, “the revolutions that are shaking the thrones of dictators are good for the Muslims, good for the mujahidin and bad for the imperialists of the West and their henchmen in the Muslim world.” He says the terrorists, “are very optimistic and have great expectations of what is to come.” This optimism is not unfounded. Mr. Obama should shift his focus from pandering to Muslim sensibilities to helping shape the outcome of the changes sweeping the Middle East in a way that reflects American values.
The United States is not at war with Islam, but neither should our nation be promoting it. America has traditionally advocated the principles of freedom of conscience and individual liberty, concepts that are in dire need of support in most Muslim states. Taking an unadulterated stand for freedom in the Middle East would be the most gutsy move Mr. Obama could make.

Nothing could be more hostile to our Constitution then Islam , and freedom everywhere. And submission to islam is this administrations main objective.

Congressman LTC Allen West Responds To Obama's Horrible Remarks In Texas
Allen West on Obama "I can't stand the guy"
This was said by West in his response to what obama had said in Texas.
Obama says
Republicans will "never be satisfied" by the amount of border protection he has ordered, even as the border is more dangerous than ever. "Even though we've answered these concerns, I've got to say i suspect there's still some who are trying to move the goal posts on us one more time. You know, they said 'we needed to triple the border patrol.' Well, now they're going to say we need to quadruple the border patrol, or they'll want a higher fence. Maybe they'll need a moat. Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat. They'll never be satisfied."

Where Are The Patriots In Tucson? by Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
Where Are The Patriots In Tucson?
by Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
This week a very disorderly protest was conducted by a group of Hispanic students (apparently instigated by a few of their PC teachers) disrupting the school board meeting in Tucson, AZ. The purpose of their protest was to coerce the board to allow Hispanic students to continue a curriculum designed by the PC Left which teaches hatred for American history and values.
If one watches the video clip, it is clear that something very wrong is occurring in many American school systems particularly along our southwest border. It is unacceptable that any school curriculum be politically correct towards immigrants by teaching hatred of America and thus creating yet another class of entitled people.
The Left is not ‘color or ethnic blind’ as they claim to be. In fact, they want to divide Americans along racial and ethnic lines in order to create clashing groups so that Fedzilla can continue to grow power and dominance over the American people. All students no matter their color or country of origin must learn and understand unadulterated American history for this nation to survive. A house divided against itself cannot stand!
The various radical groups which have developed in this country over the past fifty years have weakened America by creating a growing entitlement society supported by a declining group of productive and self-sufficient citizens.
The Left would have us believe that Wall Street and the wealthy have destroyed the middle class when facts show the wealthy are the ones who create jobs and opportunity, while the Left nurtures government dependency rather than self-sufficiency which translates into an expanding number of unmotivated poor.
The Left has tried to discredit traditional values which have been the roots of our strength for more than 200 years. On one end of the spectrum you have Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and black supremacy groups who claim that white racism against blacks remains rampant and is responsible for the continued failure of many black kids to succeed economically, when facts clearly show that America has gone overboard to assure that minority groups are given special preferences and taxpayer monies in an attempt to make them economically equal. So why aren’t they? It boils down to a deficiency of the family unit which instills respect for others, a value system and work ethic. This stands in sharp contrast to many other groups.
At the other end of the spectrum we have a Federal government which does not secure our borders resulting in an influx of illegal immigrants who instantly become entitled by Fedzilla in many ways which are not even available to our own American children. As illustrated by the Tucson school system, PC teachers not only make no attempt to integrate these students into American culture but intentionally tear down American values and our rules of law. Religion, discipline, morality, healthy values and a healthy dose of American history are tossed out of the curriculum. What a sharp contrast to the Jews whose education embodies all of these and who have survived centuries of persecution and even attempted extermination by Hitler and now by Muslim extremists.
In order to reach their endpoint the Left must divide in order to conquer, which is exactly what we see in Obama, Holder and their anti-American accomplices. Patriots must face this reality and stop this frontal assault on our values and freedoms. Our borders must be secured in spite of Obama’s pedantic jokes and lies during his first visit to the southwest border since he became ‘president’. Immigrants must be integrated into our culture rather than allowing the Left to divide our nation in order to achieve socialism which already proved itself a failed experiment worldwide.

I would love to see our politicians take a stand when they are accused of being racist etc. by someone in an interview. I have seen it too much where they let the accusations slide and more on with anothe topic.

Communist Obama Signs Legislation To Make Supplements And Alternative Health Temedies Illegal
Obama signs legislation to make supplements and alternative health remedies illegal
Right through the back door, while everyone was focused on the gulf oil spill, Barack Obama gave his signature to legislation permitting the U.S. Government to outlaw supplements and alternative health treatments.
That means that the supplements you take and therapies you use to keep your body healthy, can now be made illegal by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Obama quietly gave permission for Codex Alimentarius - the United Nation's worldwide plan for food standards - to take effect in the U.S. via Executive Order 13544 of June 10, 2010. The President's decision
creates the National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council, a group of 'experts' that carry out whatever activities Obama deems appropriate.
According to an article at Rense.com, after five years of fighting this bill in Congress and the House, Obama has decided to try to kill the supplement and alternative health industry; all alternative health remedies can be deemed "unscientific" and not provable by the FDA, which can lead to them being banned.
It means that supplements may have to be removed from sale permanently, or have their potency capped at ultra low levels, making them almost worthless. The very same thing happened in Europe just a few years ago.
Ultimately, this legislation, signed by the very man whose claim to fame was "Change we need" and Change we can believe in" has these effects:
1. REMOVES YOUR POWER OF CHOICE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE SUPPLEMENTS AND USE ALTERNATE THERAPIES;
2. STOPS YOU FROM TAKING CARE OF YOUR HEALTH NATURALLY - YOU ARE FORCED TO HAVE TO RELY ON THE MEDICAL / PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES WHO AIM IS MAXIMUM PROFIT AND FOR YOU TO REMAIN SICK SO THEY CAN KEEP YOU HOOKED ON THEIR PRODUCTS;
3. WILL FORCE YOU TO RELY ON LOW-STRENGTH, SYNTHETIC SUPPLEMENTS MADE BY PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES;
4. OR FORCE YOU TO BUY EXPENSIVE, Rx ONLY HI-STRENGTH SYNTHETIC SUPPLEMENTS MADE BY THE $MULTI-BILLION PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES
If you read the executive order it seems quite positive. However, behind the vague words are a wide range of powers to do whatever the United Nations and Obama wants, including the adoption of legislation that bans therapies and supplements.
Did you vote for the president to remove your power of choice? Are you going to sit back and allow this to happen?
.
Wild Thing's comment........
So he signs and passes legislation all on his own? Well we will see how this flys and if it goes into effect or not.
The health and wellness, natural foods, and nutritional supplements industries have been fighting against the introduction of Codex Alimentarius for decades.
Naturally, Fuhrer Obama LOVES this sort of top-down, totalitarian control, and he signed it into law.
Does this mean supplements like fish oil pills, vitamins etc? It means exactly that.
It won't be aimed at individuals. It will be aimed at providers = stores. They can prohibit it that way, by restricting commerce -- making it illegal to sell specified products.
He wants control over everything we do....where we shop...what we buy...what we eat...where we live, etc., etc. Stepford PEOPLE not just Stepford wives.

Huckabee:" I Will Not Seek the Republican Nomination for President" ~ Thank God!
Mike Huckabee said that he would not be joining the race for 2012. After deep personal reflection over the past few months, he recently realized “All the factors say go, but my heart says no.”
He said that his original concerns about raising the necessary funds to be competitive or being able to win in states outside the South were answered when signs of strong financial support materialized and polls showed him winning in states like Pennsylvania, Maine and New Jersey.
This decision was spiritual, not political for him and he sought clarity from Jesus Christ in order to make it. In the end, Huckabee said, “My answer is clear and firm. I will not seek the Republican nomination for president this year.”
.
Wild Thing's comment........
If you’re a Republican, this is the year to run. Either we win this time, or it doesn’t very much matter what happens in the future. We have to get obamacare repealed. And it is NOT an election for wimps, we need strong, take no prisoner attitude imo, someone that will speak up about what obama really is to the public and not mince words about it.
I am not interested in a man that sat on a bench with Pelosi and said what Newt did about Global warming.
I am not interested in a man that has had his own version of obamacare in his home state ala Mitt Romney.
This is all so scary, because this election will save our country or throw it the rest of the way to the hungry socialist Marxist enemy within.

Awesome!!! Congressman LTC Allen West To Office of Management and Budget Administrator Daniel Gordon: If you can’t answer our questions then why are you here?
Politicizing Procurement: Will President Obama’s Proposal Curb Free Speech and Hurt Small Business?
On Thursday, May 12 at 1:30 pm, the House Small Business Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a joint full committee hearing entitled Politicizing Procurement: Will President Obama’s Proposal Curb Free Speech and Hurt Small Business? The hearing took place in room 2154 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
This hearing examined the proposed Obama Executive Order (“EO”) mandating the disclosure of political donations by government contractors as a prerequisite to receiving a government contract, and evaluate its impact and consequences upon the federal acquisition system. Specifically, the Committees was concerned that this proposed EO will inject politics into the procurement process, violated political free speech rights, and usurp the legislative power of Congress.
Wild Thing's comment.......
The EO under discussion clearly has no other purpose than to identify the political affiliations of gov contractors BEFORE they are hired. Unacceptable! The purpose of this executive order is to force political contributors to reveal their identity so that they can be attacked.
This man Gordon is saying that contributions will not be a criterion - but he is lying through his teeth. And Allen West does such a beautiful job showing the world just how much a liar Gordon truly is.

Racist Former US House of Representatives Cynthia McKinney Says She Is Truly Ashamed of Her Country’s (Obama's) Policies
Note her black head scarf.
Former US House Member Ashamed of US Policies
TEHRAN
Former member of the US House of Representatives Cynthia Anne McKinney said she is truly ashamed of her country’s policies.
Addressing an international conference dubbed ‘International Coalition against Terrorism for Fair Peace’ here in Tehran on Saturday, the former US House member urged Washington to avoid imposing its will on the world nations through the use of force, violence and weapons.
“As an American, I am upset with the policies of my country, but the measures adopted by the first Afro-American president of the United States has ashamed us all,” she said.
“If there is no truth, there won’t be any justice, and today the US policies are rooted in lies, injustice and war,” she continued.
Noting the United States’ aggravating economic conditions, she said the high rate of infant death toll in the United States is even worse than the European Union.

Obama Approves Another 204 ObamaDeathCare Waivers, Bringing the Total to 1,372
Obama Administration Approves Another 204 Health Care Waivers, Bringing the Total to 1,372
HHS (Health and Human Services ) approves 200 more new healthcare reform waivers
The Obama administration approved 204 new waivers to Democrats' healthcare reform law over the past month, bringing the total to 1,372.
The waivers are temporary and only apply to one provision of the law, which requires health plans to offer at least $750,000 worth of annual medical benefits before leaving patients to fend for themselves.
Still, Republicans have assailed the waivers as a sign of both favoritism and of major problems with the law.
"The fact that over 1,000 waivers have been granted is a tacit admission that the healthcare law is fundamentally flawed," Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) said in March. Upton is one of three House committee chairmen who has used new oversight powers to investigate the annual limit waivers.
Administration officials say the law allows the Health and Human Services Department to grant the waivers to avoid disrupting the insurance market before the law overhauls the insurance system in 2014. They say the waivers are granted through a transparent process.

Lt. Col. Lakin Freed To Focus On Family And Career
Here's the first interview with Lieutenant Colonel Terry Lakin after his early release from Fort Leavenworth prison. The interview aired on America's Web Radio yesterday ( 5/13/2011 )
.
Lakin freed to focus on family and career
Dr. Terry Lakin was released today from Ft. Leavenworth, where he served almost six months of prison time for refusing orders over his doubts about Barack Obama's eligibility to be president, and told WND that he is going to focus on his family first, then his church and medical career.
In comments via telephone shortly after his release, Lakin, a lieutenant colonel in the military, told WND that he also remains dedicated to the Christian ideals on which the United States was founded.
Lakin declined to respond to military orders because he was denied answers to his questions about the legitimacy of Obama's presidency. He then was court-martialed after the judge decided she would not allow him to present his arguments or his witnesses.
Questions during the brief interview were restricted by Lakin's advisers because of the pending status of an appeal of the military court's decision, as well as a request for clemency that remains unaddressed.
His release came after a standard reduction in time for good behavior.
Lakin's contention was that Obama may be ineligible, and therefore his orders would be illegal. He had pleaded through his chain of command for answers to his questions, but was refused.
After Lakin had served most of his sentence, Obama released an copy of a "Certificate of Live Birth" suggesting a Hawaii birth for the president. But analysts have criticized it as fraudulent and critics noted that the image revealed Barack Obama Sr. as his father, and since he never was American, argue that it simply proves Obama's ineligibility.
They say the American founders were influenced by Emmerich de Vattel's Law of Nations, in which a "natural born citizen" is defined as a citizen born of two citizen parents on the nation's soil.
Under that definition, Obama is disqualified from eligibility for the presidency because of his Kenyan father.
The action fund, which generated support for Lakin's family during his incarceration, also has planned a welcome back for Lakin when he returns to Baltimore.
In a statement on the action fund website, officials described how Lakin was allowed to cash out his $40 prison account today and was taken by van to a park-and-ride in eastern Leavenworth.
"We hand Terry a netbook running Skype so he can talk to his family. The children are home waiting for his call. Pili [Lakin's wife] appears on the screen with a huge smile. 'Come here kids, your dad is on the phone!' Holly, Jack and Andrew rush over. Jack, the 3-year-old, takes over the screen making faces and laughing."
After a call to his parents, Lakin was on the line with WND.
He said getting back to his family is the "most important thing right now." Then is getting established in "a good Christian church near our house."
Then comes "taking care of my medical career."
He said while he was incarcerated, he found a great deal of encouragement from the cards and "uplifting letters" that fans sent, sometimes at the rate of 30-40 per day.
"People were sending me pictures of their families, telling me about their concerns," he said. "I tried to make it the most positive experience I could. It was an experience for self-reflection on my Christian faith."
He said he also read a great deal, starting out with "The 5000 Year Leap," which he found on a shelf the first day he worked in the library.
He also studied "Liberty and Tyranny." He also read the writings of Chuck Colson, Lee Strobel, C.S. Lewis and John Eidsmoe.
He was enlightened by his stay.
"I love medicine and want to remain in medicine," he said. "But I now see another group that needs medical services."
He said he feels he was able to help inmates at the prison, through teaching math and English classes, working with the chapel program and providing a voice of influence that other inmates perhaps might not have.
"I'm just kind of amazed where we lost track in the history lessons I had growing up of how firmly based our Founders were in Christianity," he said. "They wanted to maintain freedom of religion, not freedom from religion."
While he was incarcerated, Lakin remained under the Uniform Code of Military Justice but was allowed to post online a series of observations he's made while serving his time.
Lakin also earned the support of several prominent, high-ranking, retired officers during his battle, including Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely and Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney.
Kerchner had noted that Lakin, before publicly challenging Obama's eligibility to serve as president under the Constitution's "natural born citizen" requirement – an issue that remains unresolved – had gone through every available channel seeking resolution.
"Terry had been questioning Obama's eligibility for over two years, and not only did he go to his elected representatives; he used a formal path available to soldiers, filling out a form or writing a letter, to request a congressional inquiry," Kerchner told The Post & Email at the time.
"If a soldier is having some issue with the military chain of command or for any reason feels that he has been unjustly treated, there is the Article 138 where you can directly ask your senior chain of command about it. He also filed another form or letter to request a congressional inquiry; he requested more than once that an investigation be done about Obama's eligibility because as an officer, he had sworn an oath to the U.S. Constitution. He had great doubts that Obama was eligible, and he wanted them to investigate, and they didn't even answer him," Kerchner explained.
"The Congress did nothing. Terry, as a soldier, had a further right to one, and he didn't even get an answer. For example, if you allege that your commanding officer is mistreating you, Congress investigates those allegations. Terry asked for a congressional inquiry because no one in his chain of command was answering his questions, and they didn't answer him. He felt he was being unjustly treated and ignored by his chain of command in their not addressing or answering his questions about the eligibility of Obama to be the commander-in-chief and president," he said in the lengthy interview with Rondeau.

Osama bin Laden to al-Qaeda: 'Don't bother assassinating Joe Biden' ~ Sorry but...Lol...
US officials have revealed that Osama bin Laden’s diaries contain the rather startling conclusion that he didn’t think Vice President Joe Biden was worth bumping off (hat tip: a tweet from my New York colleague Jon Swaine).
According to ProPublica, the Obama administration is briefing that Barack Obama was bin Laden’s the “top target” (no surprise there) while “military chiefs like the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the defense secretary” were also major scalps.
But Joe Biden’s scalp (hair plugs and all)? Apparently, not so much. A counterterrorism official said: “There is a note indicating that the vice president is not an important target because that position has less weight.”
To be fair, it seems that Uncle Joe was not mentioned by name and the al-Qaeda leader tied the comment to the constitutional weakness of the vice-presidency rather than the antics of the garrulous current occupant.
But one does suspect that bin Laden might have rather liked to have got Dick Cheney.
Given the manner in which the al-Qaeda chief was sent to his maker, taking out George W. Bush’s veep might have been a prudent measure. As Jay Leno quipped: “Osama bin Laden was apparently shot twice in the face. It looks like Dick Cheney may have been involved.”

OMG! Priceless.
Wow. And he wasn’t even TRYING to..!
Plugs not to be plugged .
You know you must really suck when terrorists don’t even want to off you. You know you’re a putz when you’re the VP of the USA, and a supervillain Ian Fleming could’t have dreamed up dubs you unworthy of assassination.
Realise this —Osama Bin Laden effectively ended Joe Biden’s political career from the GRAVE...!
Wow. And he wasn’t even TRYING to..!

Anti-American Obama Sends Wildfire Aid To Mexico, But NOT Texas ~ Pathetic!
Sends Wildfire Aid To Mexico, Not Texas
Former FEMA director outraged, but local counties say they’re getting Federal money.
Just last month the U.S. sent two Air force cargo planes to help Mexico battle back wildfires in the northern part of it’s country, fires that burned 386 square miles. It’s a move that West Texas Congressman Francisco Canseco (R-Fort Stockton) thinks is a hypocritical one by the Obama administration as Texas has requested the same sort of federal aid but has been denied it.
“386 square miles pales with the 2.5 million acres of land that have been burned and scorched beyond recognition,” says Canseco.
And Former FEMA Director Michael Brown thinks that a “snub” like this reeks of politics as he believes Texas deserves a similar response from the federal government.
“I think what’s going on is we see the Chicago style politics. I’m amazed that he’s put FEMA in this awkward position of not allowing federal assistance,” says Brown.
According to the Obama Administration however federal assistance has been flowing to Texas by way of grant money, of which several counties are in the process of applying for.
"We have already qualified for the federal mutual aid grant which will help local volunteer fire departments recover up to 75 percent of the funds that they utilized during the fire, so that was correct in that stand point," says County Judge David Nicklas of Palo Pinto County, an area ravaged by the wildfires.
So far Texas has spent an estimated 70 million dollars combating the states wildfires.

RINO John McCain Devoted Fan Of Obama Says "said "waterboarding did not help get bin Laden amounted to a mock execution”
“It was not torture, or cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of detainees that got us the major leads that ultimately enabled our intelligence community to find Osama bin Laden,” McCain said in a stirring 22-minute speech from the Senate floor.
McCain called the techniques -- implemented by CIA interrogators during the George W. Bush administration and later barred by President Obama -- “indisputably torture,” and said waterboarding amounted to a “mock execution.”
“I do not believe they are necessary to our success in our war against terrorists, as the advocates of these techniques claim they are,” he said
Then he also write about his opinion in the Washington Post. You know just to make sure the entire world hears his BS and lies. ~ Wild Thing
Bin Laden’s death and the debate over torture
by John McCain
Former attorney general Michael Mukasey recently claimed that “the intelligence that led to bin Laden . . . began with a disclosure from Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who broke like a dam under the pressure of harsh interrogation techniques that included waterboarding. He loosed a torrent of information — including eventually the nickname of a trusted courier of bin Laden.” That is false.
I asked CIA Director Leon Panetta for the facts, and he told me the following: The trail to bin Laden did not begin with a disclosure from Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who was waterboarded 183 times. The first mention of Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti — the nickname of the al-Qaeda courier who ultimately led us to bin Laden — as well as a description of him as an important member of al-Qaeda, came from a detainee held in another country, who we believe was not tortured. None of the three detainees who were waterboarded provided Abu Ahmed’s real name, his whereabouts or an accurate description of his role in al-Qaeda.
In fact, the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” on Khalid Sheik Mohammed produced false and misleading information. He specifically told his interrogators that Abu Ahmed had moved to Peshawar, got married and ceased his role as an al-Qaeda facilitator — none of which was true. According to the staff of the Senate intelligence committee, the best intelligence gained from a CIA detainee — information describing Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti’s real role in al-Qaeda and his true relationship to bin Laden — was obtained through standard, noncoercive means.
I know from personal experience that the abuse of prisoners sometimes produces good intelligence but often produces bad intelligence because under torture a person will say anything he thinks his captors want to hear — true or false — if he believes it will relieve his suffering. Often, information provided to stop the torture is deliberately misleading.
Mistreatment of enemy prisoners endangers our own troops, who might someday be held captive. While some enemies, and al-Qaeda surely, will never be bound by the principle of reciprocity, we should have concern for those Americans captured by more conventional enemies, if not in this war then in the next.
Though it took a decade to find bin Laden, there is one consolation for his long evasion of justice: He lived long enough to witness what some are calling the Arab Spring, the complete repudiation of his violent ideology.
As we debate how the United States can best influence the course of the Arab Spring, can’t we all agree that the most obvious thing we can do is stand as an example of a nation that holds an individual’s human rights as superior to the will of the majority or the wishes of government? Individuals might forfeit their life as punishment for breaking laws, but even then, as recognized in our Constitution’s prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment, they are still entitled to respect for their basic human dignity, even if they have denied that respect to others.
All of these arguments have the force of right, but they are beside the most important point. Ultimately, this is more than a utilitarian debate. This is a moral debate. It is about who we are.
I don’t mourn the loss of any terrorist’s life. What I do mourn is what we lose when by official policy or official neglect we confuse or encourage those who fight this war for us to forget that best sense of ourselves. Through the violence, chaos and heartache of war, through deprivation and cruelty and loss, we are always Americans, and different, stronger and better than those who would destroy us.

Rush - There Is An Action Figure Of Obama As Team Six Seal Member They Use Michelle's Body ~ LMAO Love Rush!
.
Introducing: The Barack Obama SEAL Team Six Action Figure
After the excitement of hearing that President Obama orchestrated the strike and kill against Osama bin Laden, it didn't take long to put out an action figure of the Commander in Chief.
Oxford, Conn.-based toymaker Herobuilders, who last brought you action figures of the Old Spice Guy, Dos Equis Beer's "The Most Interesting Man in the World" and Allstate Insurance's "Mayhem," have created a super-bad SEAL Team Six replica of the 44th President in full urban fatigue gear, wearing a "Punisher" t-shirt with the numeral 6 printed on it, and carrying a military issue M4A1 rifle.
.
Emil Vicale, Herobuilders' president, said the idea sprang up just moments after Obama announced that bin Laden had been killed.
"What's so odd," he told NewsFeed,"is that we made an action figure of him before he even became president, after he gave his speech in Chicago (at the 2004 Democratic National Convention). It never resonated with the public, so we think this is the one."

John Kerry Heads To Pakistan To Soothe Obama's Fellow Muslims Over bin Laden
Kerry heads for Pakistan to soothe fury over bin Laden raid
ISLAMABAD
Senator John Kerry will travel to Pakistan in coming days to put relations "on the right track" after the killing of Osama bin Laden in a surprise Navy SEALs raid, but he is likely to face fury from the army over what it sees as a breach of trust.
Kerry, a Democrat who is close to the Obama administration, said he expected to see "all the main players" in Pakistan to discuss strains in bilateral ties following the May 2 operation that killed the al Qaeda leader in his Pakistani hideout.
"A number of people suggested it would be good to get a dialogue going about the aftermath and how we get on the right track," Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told reporters in Washington.
Co-author of a 2009 bill that tripled non-military aid to Islamabad, Kerry is seen as a friend of the country, but he is likely to face the wrath of the powerful security establishment which has been embarrassed by the unilateral U.S. action on Pakistani soil.
A senior Pakistani security official said the operation had left the army and its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency -- which has a long history of contacts with militants -- "discredited in the eyes of the public."
"We are very angry about this breach of trust," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "The space for cooperating with the Americans on military and intelligence operations has been shrunk because of this incident."
Pakistani cooperation is crucial for Washington's efforts to combat Islamist militants and bring stability to Afghanistan, and the U.S. administration appears keen to contain the fallout.
"WE WOULDN'T BE SO NAIVE"
Nevertheless, U.S. lawmakers have questioned whether Pakistan is serious about fighting militants in the region after bin Laden was found living in a house just a few minutes' walk from the country's main military academy. Some have called for a suspension in U.S. aid to Islamabad.
Pakistan rejects allegations that it was either incompetent in tracking down the man behind the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States or complicit in hiding him in the town of Abbottabad just 50 km (30 miles) from Islamabad.
"We wouldn't be naive enough to be complicit in this affair. We would be risking not only the future of our country, but also the future of our children," the official said, adding that if there was a support network protecting bin Laden it did not come from within Pakistan's security establishment.
Kerry has travelled to Pakistan before to try to tamp down crises. He was there in February to try to win the release of Raymond Davis, a CIA contractor and former U.S. special forces member who shot dead two Pakistanis in the city of Lahore.
Davis, who said he acted in self defense, was freed in March after "blood money" -- compensation to the families of those killed -- was paid, Pakistani and U.S. officials said.
"STEALTH" HELICOPTER REMAINS
The United States is hoping to question the three wives of bin Laden who were left in the Abbottabad compound after U.S. raid and are now being detained, although Pakistani officials played down the possibility of any speedy access.
U.S. investigators, who have been sifting through a huge stash of material seized during the operation, believe the wives could help them trace bin Laden's movements and his network.
ABC News quoted Pakistani officials as saying that they were interested in studying the remains of a U.S. helicopter that crashed during the Navy SEALs' raid, which experts believe was a version of the Blackhawk modified with stealth features.
One official told the network that China, an ally of Pakistan, was interested in examining the remains of the helicopter and another said "We might let them take a look."
Pakistan says bin Laden's death is an important step in the fight against militancy but it is angry that it was not informed about it and that U.S. forces violated its sovereignty when they swooped in on helicopters from Afghanistan.
Current and former U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the United States repeatedly told Pakistan that Washington would send American forces into that country if it had evidence bin Laden was hiding there.

Good grief! Sending Kerry to soothe things is like Don Corleone sending Fredo to calm down a rival family head. Really more of an insult than a friendly gesture.
Pakistan needs to soothe US not the other way around. Kerry is always taking the side against America.
Maybe he's planning to throw some medals over the ben Laden compound wall??

Gov. Perry On The Laura Ingraham And What He Thinks Of America Hating Obama Speech
Texas Gov. Rick Perry on the Laura Ingraham Radio Show, where he blasted President Obama for his ridiculous comments on Border Security in El Paso the other day. Obama proclaimed the border to be secure, even saying the Border Fence is “essentially completed.”
Perry reacted by saying about Obama:
“This is a President who is more interested in trying out for Saturday Night Live it seems like. . . . . the guy’s a stand-up comic, and that was what he was playing to. The fact of the matter is, Americans don’t want a stand-up comic for the President of the United States. . . . Anyone who knows what’s happening on the border of Texas and Mexico – or for that matter the southern border of the United States with Mexico – realizes this is not comedy, there are people’s lives in jeopardy every day.”
Perry had a stern warning of what will happen if Obama continues to not take Border Security seriously:
“You’re going to see United States citizens killed if this administration does not take border security seriously. They don’t.”

House Panel Limits Obama's Authority On Nukes
Hill panel limits Obama's authority on nukes
A House panel voted Wednesday to limit President Barack Obama’s authority to reduce the nation’s nuclear arsenal and implement a U.S.-Russia arms control treaty overwhelmingly approved by the Senate last December.
Over the objections of the Defense Department and Democrats, the House Armed Services Committee approved a series of amendments directly related to the commander in chief’s ability to make nuclear weapons reductions.
By a 35-26 vote, the Republican-controlled panel approved an amendment that would prohibit money to take nuclear weapons out of operation unless the administration provides a report to Congress on how it plans to modernize the remaining weapons. The panel also adopted an amendment that says the president may not change the target list or move weapons out of Europe until he reports to Congress.
House Republicans, who have no constitutional authority to vote on a treaty, said they were ensuring the link between the treaty cuts and Obama's promise to modernize the remaining weapons. They also complained that the treaty did not cover tactical nuclear weapons.
"We're putting the brakes on any effort by this administration to race down" toward future cuts, said Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo.
Democrats criticized the measure for tying the president's hands now and in the future on reducing nuclear weapons, and trying to rewrite the treaty through the defense bill.
"If we stop implementation, Russia stops implementation," said Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash.
The marathon committee session stretched into Wednesday night with major issues still pending, including the pace of withdrawing forces from Afghanistan, gays in the military and the transfer of detainees from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Frustrated with Obama's consultation with Congress on Libya, the committee unanimously approved a measure seeking "any official document, record, memo, correspondence or other communication of the Department of Defense ... that refers or relates to any consultation with Congress" on Libya.

President of New Jersey State Troopers Association Says “This White House cares more about Reverend Wright than dead police officers.” ~ He Is Correct In Saying This!
David Jones, the president of the New Jersey State Troopers Association, told Bill O’Reilly last night that the Obama White House had no idea who cop-killer and fugitive Joane Deborah Chesimard was when he complained to them today about rapper Common being honored at the White House last night.
Jones told O’Reilly, “This White House cares more about Reverend Wright than dead police officers.”
Cop-killer promoter Common is a good friend of Reverend Wright and Barack Obama.
The White House defended its decision Wednesday to invite the rapper Common to a poetry event amid criticism from conservatives over his lyrics.
The Obama White House defended their invite to friend and cop-killer promoting rapper Common to the White House.
Conservatives are objecting to a 2007 spoken word performance by Common where Common wrote a ballad “A song for Assata” in dedication to Black Panther Assata Shakur, formerly known as Joanne Chesimard, who was convicted for the 1973 slaying of Trooper Werner Foerster on the New Jersey Turnpike.
Common also wished for the death of then-President George W. Bush. (The performance, which critiques the Iraq war, includes the phrase “burn a Bush.” )
But at a Wednesday news briefing, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney called Common a “socially-conscious rapper” who has participated in other Obama events.

Free Shotgun With A/C Repair Plant City, Florida
PLANT CITY, Florida
- A Plant City business has launched an unusual and bold promotion: buy an air conditioning unit, get a gun.
The owners of United Electrical Systems say they're only trying to offset the cost of doing business in a slow economy.
"If the air conditioners are broke, they would rather repair them, or they're just going without it because they can't afford to repair it," owner Tim Toole said.
Toole and co-owner Jim Harden are the first to admit, they'll do almost anything at this point to keep business going.
"If I had to wear a monkey suit and walk up and down the street, and I thought it would bring in business, I would do it," Harden said.
If they had to give away shotguns to bring in business, they'd do that too ... and they are.
"We'll run a background check and if we approve them, we will give them a shotgun," Harden said.
Customers who purchase and have a 15 seer Air Conditioning system installed by the company are eligible to receive a free Remington model 870 12 gauge shotgun.
Toole and Harden say customers will have to follow the same steps they would with any licensed gun dealer. They say they will be careful in trying to get that extra boom in business.
"If we think that you come in and you look like you shouldn't have a weapon, you're not going to get one," said Harden.
For customers that don't want a gun or don't qualify, a charitable donation will be made in their name.
A spokesman with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office says they have no problem with the shotgun giveaway, as long as the law is followed.

Marines Get Trained on Accepting Obama's Gay Recruits
If a Marine spots two men in his battalion kissing off-duty at a shopping mall, he should react as if he were seeing a man and woman. If he turns on the television news to see a fellow Marine dressed as a civilian and marching in a parade with a banner that reads, "Support Gays and Lesbians in the Military!" he should accept it as a free right of expression.
Prescriptions for those possible scenarios are being played out at Marine bases as the military prepares to allow gays to openly serve, ending a 17-year-old policy commonly known as "don't ask, don't tell." Training for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines began early this year and is expected to finish by summer's end.
.
As the U.S. Military prepares to allow gays to openly serve, ending a policy commonly known as "don't ask don't tell," men and women in uniform are being trained on what to expect and how to handle the change.
Marine instructor Maj. Daryl Desimone stood before an auditorium filled with fatigue-clad troops, carrying an unequivocal message: It's OK to disagree with letting gays serve openly in the military. It's not OK to disobey orders.
He explained that the impending repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" is an order, one heard by generals and rank-and-file alike as the military tries to change the culture of a traditionally conservative institution.
Only a few of the roughly 150 Marines stepped up to ask questions.
One stood up from a back row and demanded to know why his religious beliefs were being "put aside" in favor of gays, forcing him to "basically grit my teeth and bear it."
"It's not really open to discussion," Desimone said. "Nobody's trying to change your mind."
Sexual orientation will now be a private matter, just like religion or politics, he said.
Sgt. Jay Milinichik, of Tulsa, Okla., stood up to ask what would happen if a Marine refused gay roommates.
Marines won't have separate barracks or showers based on sexual orientation, Desimone said. He added that signing up for the Marines comes with an expectation of less privacy.
That said, officers may decide to separate roommates to preserve peace, just like they do now when roommates argue.
Marines will not be allowed an early discharge for opposing the policy but exceptions will be considered, Desimone said.
"You can't just walk up and say, 'I don't like this. I'm outa here,'" he said.
Classes like Thursday's for the Combat Logistics Regiment 17 of the 1st Marine Logistics Group are being held at military bases around the world. The Marines expect to finish training by June 1, with all military branches done by summer's end.
The repeal of the 17-year "don't ask, don't tell" policy would go into effect 60 days after the president, defense secretary and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff certify that lifting the ban won't hurt the military's ability to fight.
Gen. James Amos, the Marine Corps commandant, testified last year that permitting gays to openly serve could disrupt smaller combat units and distract leaders from preparing for battle.
When he appeared this month before the House Armed Services Committee, he said he had been looking for problems that might arise under the new policy and hadn't found any "recalcitrant pushback."
"There has not been the anxiety over it from the forces in the field," he said.
In small group discussions, Marines are being asked to consider their reactions to a wide range of scenarios, from seeing a member "hanging around" a gay bar to hearing locker-room jokes from others who refuse to shower in front of gays.
There is nothing wrong with "hanging around" a gay bar, the training materials state.
The officer who witnesses the loud locker-room banter aimed at gays and lesbians should remind the Marines any discrimination or harassment is inappropriate.
If a Marine spots two men in his battalion kissing off-duty at a shopping mall, he should react as if he were seeing a man and woman, according to the training materials.
If he turns on the television news to see a fellow Marine dressed as a civilian and marching in a parade with a banner that reads, "Support Gays and Lesbians in the Military!" he should accept it as a free right of expression.
A top-notch Marine recruiter opposed to the new policy cannot refuse a promising applicant because of sexual orientation. The recruiter might be considered for another assignment or, at the Navy secretary's discretion, might be granted early discharge.
Chaplains who preach at base chapels that homosexuality is a sin are entitled to express their beliefs during worship.
At Thursday's class at Camp Pendleton, there were several questions about benefits.
Desimone said Marines must follow federal law that only recognizes marriage between a man and woman, disqualifying gays from housing allowances and other benefits afforded to married couples.
But he pondered a scenario in which a gay couple would be allowed to live in military base housing because they have children and the partner is a custodial parent.
"There are inconsistencies," he said. "Anyone who looks at it logically will see there are some things that need to be worked out."
After class, Petty Officer William Evans of Riverside, Calif., said he was a bit "blindsided" when the repeal was announced. The hospital corpsman lives off the base, but said he would feel uncomfortable sharing barracks with a gay man.
"Of course, it's not something that everyone's going to be comfortable with, but we'll have to deal with it," he said.

"Those serving who oppose the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) agenda are no longer welcome." Unfortunately, we have a minority of service members who are still racists and bigoted and you will never be able to get rid of all of them," Lt. Gen. Bostick said. "But these people opposing this new policy will need to get with the program, and if they can't, they need to get out. No matter how much training and education of those in opposition, you're always going to have those that oppose this on moral and religious grounds just like you still have racists today." ~ Lt. Gen. Bostick - 9/16/10

Navy Authorizes Chaplains to Perform Same-Sex ‘Marriages’ in Naval Chapels Then Navy Changes Mind and Halts Move To Wait For Pentagon To Check Legality For All States
Obama Stops Defense Of Anti-Gay Marriage Law
The Obama administration has recently made it official, it will no longer defend the constitutionality of a federal law banning recognition of same-sex marriage.
According to Attorney General Eric Holder, President Barack Obama has affirmed that the administration can’t defend the federal law that defines marriage as only between a man and a woman. He stated that the congressional debate regarding the passage of the Defense of Marriage Act “contains numerous expressions reflecting moral disapproval of gays and lesbians and their intimate and family relationships – precisely the kind of stereotype-based thinking and animus” the Constitution is designed to oppose.
.
Navy Authorizes Chaplains to Perform Same-Sex ‘Marriages’ in Naval Chapels
Anticipating the elimination of the military ban on homosexuality, the Office of the Chief of Navy Chaplains has decided that same-sex couples in the Navy will be able to get married in Navy chapels, and that Navy chaplains will be allowed to perform the ceremonies -- if homosexual marriage is legal in the state where the unions are to be performed.
The advisory came in the form of an April 13 memo issued to all chaplains, in which the Chief of Navy Chaplains, Admiral Michael Tidd, said the Chaplain Corps was revising its Tier I training manuals, which had previously indicated that same-sex marriages are not authorized on federal property.
Instead, Tidd called for chaplains to comply with service-wide efforts underway to be more accepting of homosexuality and same-sex marriage as the end of the military policy on homosexuality nears.
Citing "additional legal review" by Navy attorneys, the admiral said the Navy "has concluded that, generally speaking, base facility use is sexual orientation neutral.”
“If the base is located in a state where same-sex marriage is legal, then the base facilities may be used to celebrate the marriage,” the admiral’s directive states.
The admiral’s memo also gives chaplains permission to "marry" homosexual couples – but would not force them to perform ceremines.
“Regarding chaplain participation, consistent with the tenets of his or her religious organization, a chaplain may officiate a same-sex, civil marriage: if it is conducted in accordance with the laws of the state which permits same-sex marriages or union; and if the chaplain is, according to applicable state and local laws, otherwise fully certified to officiate that state’s marriages.”

Navy halts move to allow gay unions by chaplains
Under pressure from more than five dozen House lawmakers, the Navy late Tuesday abruptly reversed its decision that would have allowed chaplains to perform same-sex unions if the Pentagon decides to recognize openly gay military service later this year.
In a one-sentence memo obtained by The Associated Press, Rear Adm. Mark Tidd, chief of Navy chaplains, said his earlier decision has been "suspended until further notice pending additional legal and policy review and interdepartmental coordination."
The Navy said its lawyers wanted to do a more thorough review of the legal decision that allowed Navy chaplains to receive training to perform civil unions on military bases, but only in states where same-sex unions are legal.
Military training to apply the new law allowing gays to serve openly began earlier this year and is expected to be completed by midsummer.
House members wrote to Navy Secretary Ray Mabus to object to the Navy's initial ruling, saying the service was violating the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act by appearing to recognize and support same-sex marriages.
That law defines marriage as only between a man and a woman, and it also says states don't have to recognize gay marriages performed in other states where they are legal.
"We find it unconscionable that the United States Navy, a federal entity sworn to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States, believes it is their place alone to train and direct service members to violate federal law," said the lawmakers' letter, which was signed by 63 House members.
The lawmakers asked Mabus to direct the Navy to defend the Constitution, adding that individuals should not be allowed to pick and choose the laws they will follow.
The Navy's decision triggered an uproar, particularly since the Army and Air Force had not made similar decisions, and there was no overall Defense Department guidance issued on the same-sex union issue.
Navy officials had said Monday that they updated the training after questions came up about civil ceremonies for gay couples.
In earlier training guidelines issued by the Defense Department and the military services, same-sex ceremonies were not mentioned and therefore not explicitly prohibited.
When first asked about the Navy's decision to allow the training, the Pentagon said the federal Defense of Marriage Act does not restrict the types of ceremonies a chaplain may perform in a chapel on a military base. And officials have repeatedly stressed that the military would not compel chaplains to perform a same-sex union if it was against their religious beliefs.
The military dust-up comes against the backdrop of the Obama administration's decision in February to no longer defend the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act. Attorney General Eric Holder said at the time that President Barack Obama concluded that the law was unconstitutional.
The Pentagon has been moving carefully to implement the repeal of the 17-year-old ban on openly gay troops. Under the law passed and signed by the president in December, final implementation would go into effect 60 days after the president and his senior defense advisers certify that lifting the ban won't hurt troops' ability to fight.
Under the Navy's initial ruling, the civil union ceremonies would be allowed at military facilities such as chapel and catering centers, but only in states that already recognize same-sex unions.
And even if a same-sex union ceremony is performed, same-sex partners would not get any health, housing or other benefits that are provided to married couples involving a man and woman.
The Air Force and Army did not include discussion of same-sex union ceremonies in their training.
Under Pentagon guidelines, chaplains and other key military leaders were among the first tier of service members to be trained about the new law repealing the ban on openly gay service. Much of that instruction has been completed, so the Navy will send out updates to include the same-sex union ceremony provision.

With Contempt For Our Laws Obama (Behaving Just Like His Muslim Imam’s Whipping Up Hatred) Mocks Border Enforcement: 'They'll Need A Moat' With Alligators and Then Attacks FOX News
Just disgraceful. Obama says Republicans will "never be satisfied" by the amount of border protection he has ordered, even as the border is more dangerous than ever.
"Even though we've answered these concerns, I've got to say i suspect there's still some who are trying to move the goal posts on us one more time. You know, they said 'we needed to triple the border patrol.' Well, now they're going to say we need to quadruple the border patrol, or they'll want a higher fence. Maybe they'll need a moat. Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat. They'll never be satisfied."
Tell that to the widow of Robert Krentz, Mr. President. Or the family of slain agent Brian Terry, murdered by the very guns you gave to the cartels and now are covering up. " I understand. That's politics", said Obama. But it is HIS politics. The cynical politics of race and division. It's un-American. 2012 cannot come soon enough.
Obama spoke in El Paso, Texas yesterday, where he conflated legal and illegal immigration, pushed for the DREAM Act, and showed his longstanding contempt for the rule of law.
President Barack Obama used an immigration speech Tuesday to take a jab at News Corporation CEO, Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox News Channel.
Obama quoted the CEO, an Australian native, who said “Immigrants have made America great as the world leader in business, science, higher education and innovation.”
“That’s Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox News, and an immigrant himself,” Obama said. “I don’t know if you’re familiar with his views, but let’s just say he doesn’t have an Obama bumper sticker on his car.”
The president was in El Paso, Texas to advocate for immigration reform as a way to strengthen the middle class, among other things.

I’ve had enough of that “man”. Another officer killed by an illegal who should have been deported. And “Barry” continues to “mock”. “Mock” citizens that have been killed by an illegal (one killed in Mesa last week in car/motorcycle accident), “mock” Border Patrol Agents killed in the line of duty (Agent Terry, most recently), “mock” police officers killed by illegals, “mock” the fraud, identity theft, taxpayer dollars siphoned, by illegals. Go ahead Barry, “mock” “your enemies”, as you call your fellow Americans who want the law followed.
He is a disgusting POS who can’t be flushed down the ol’ history chute fast enough.The maggot won’t be satisfied until all vestiges of the old America (even the one of five years ago) is completely vanquished.
What they should do is really built the moat then invite him to come to gut the ribbon.

Gov. Rick Perry Declines Obama's Invite ~ Thank God For Gov. Perry's Response!!
Governor Rick Perry declined an invitation to greet Obama in El Paso for his speech on amnesty.
Last week the Governor Perry blasted the Obama Administration for neglecting the wildfires in Texas.
Rick Perry has declined the White House’s request that he greet President Obama when Air Force One lands in Texas on Tuesday, the Republican governor’s office says.
“We did try to arrange something with the White House,” Lucy Nashed, a spokeswoman for Perry, told POLITICO. “They asked us if we wanted to meet him out on the tarmac in El Paso, but we weren’t able to work anything out, based on the fact that it’s probably going to be a 10-minute greeting.”
Perry, who met Obama at the airport when the president traveled to Austin in August, accused the administration two weeks ago of denying aid to his state to help recover from wildfires.

Barack and Michelle Obama to Host A Poetry Evening And Invited Rapper to WH Who Talks of Killing Cops
Obama to Honor a COP KILLER! Obama “will celebrate American poetry and prose with a gathering of poets, musicians and artists at the White House next Wednesday night.” One of the poets who will attend is Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. who goes by the name “Common.”
Common's lyrics include threats to shoot police and at least one passage calling for the 'burn[ing]' of then-President George W. Bush
First Lady Michelle Obama has scheduled a poetry evening for Wednesday, and she’s invited several poets, including a successful Chicago poet and rapper, Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr., AKA “Common.” However, Lynn is quite controversial, in part because his poetry includes threats to shoot police and at least one passage calling for the “burn[ing]” of then-President George W. Bush.
Obama “will celebrate American poetry and prose with a gathering of poets, musicians and artists at the White House next Wednesday night.” One of the poets who will attend is Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. who goes by the name “Common.”
It is likely Obama met Common at the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ were both men were members. Several of Wright’s sermons caused a firestorm of controversy during the 2008 presidential campaign due to their caustic, racially charged, anti-American tones. One sermon in particular caused Obama a severe headache – the one in which he blamed America for Osama bin Laden’s terrorist attacks. “America’s chickens are coming home to roost,” he said.
Obama at first tried to defend Wright. But when that strategy became untenable, he disavowed him. Not so Common. In fact, Common defended his minister.
“What I picked up from the pews…was messages of love,” Common said at the time. “Anything that was going on against that love he would acknowledge and expose. He’s been a preacher that’s helped raise one of the greatest political figures in the world, and hopefully, the next President. He’s also raised one of the greatest rappers in the world [meaning Common himself].”
In fact, Common rapped at the 2008 New Year celebration at Wright’s church. “I’m gonna let you know / No people want drama / We gonna vote for my man / What’s his name? Obama … Revolution is here,” he sang, and the Rev. Wright danced in the background.
Some of Common’s poetry could also raise some eyebrows among those who might find cop-killing and racially-tinged or misogynist language beneath the Office of the Presidency.
“Tell the law my Uzi weighs a ton … I hold up a peace sign but I carry a gun,” raps Common in one appearance that was posted onto YouTube.
“Flyer say Free Mumia on my freezer,” he raps in another. Mumia Abu-Jamal is an incarcerated former member of the Black Panther Party who was convicted in 1981 for killing a Philadelphia police officer. Agitating for his release from prison has become a cause for many leftwing activists.
Common named his daughter after Assata Shakur, a Black Panther who was convicted of first-degree murder 1977. She escaped from prison and exiled to Cuba. The FBI recognizes her as a domestic terrorist.

California Balks at Public Display of American Flag Says It’s an impermissible “public expression.”
California Balks at Public Display of American Flag
Says It’s an impermissible “public expression.”
In the small town of Orcutt, California, a private association has raised donations to erect a flagpole and monument between a highway exit and a park-and-ride lot, at the entrance to the community’s Old Town section. The pole would hang the American flag, encircled by five pillars, one each for the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. The California Department of Transportation (CalTrans), however, has stymied the effort, calling it an impermissible act of “public expression.”
The Orcutt Pioneer reports that, although the Old Town Orcutt Revitalization Association (OTORA) “intends its flag as a tribute and symbol of freedom” — which would seem to be how most Americans would view their nation’s flag — “CalTrans sees it as a form of speech or expression, something more personal than patriotic.”
OTORA, a typical Tocquevillean-style private civil association, has been fundraising for over a year to collect the necessary $60,000 to build the flagpole and monument, above which would wave a 12-by-18-foot iteration Stars and Stripes. But CalTrans has declared that its policy forbids such efforts. In a letter to OTORA, CalTrans explains that it developed its policy in response to a ruling released by a 3-judge panel of the notorious Ninth Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, a ruling that was issued in response to impromptu flag-hanging in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
The panel’s ruling demanded “viewpoint neutrality.” That is, if CalTrans was going to allow the hanging of the American flag on public land, then it must also allow the hanging of all flags — whether the British flag, the Nazi flag, or the Jolly Rogers — as well as “expressive banners” of all sorts. In its letter to OTORA, CalTrans writes,
To answer your question regarding the court’s decision in Brown v. California Department of Transportation pertaining to flying the American Flag in the State right of way, it was established that, “The display of the United States flag constituted expressive activity, within the meaning of the First Amendment.”
The concern that we have in this situation is that, whether a flag hanging on a bridge [not OTORA’s proposal], or a monument placed within a park and ride lot [the proposal], we would be placed in a position of having to permit all forms of expression as encroachments in the right of way if we were to allow yours. As such, the department has determined that the state highway system is not a forum for public expression except as expressly allowed.
Last summer, a few days before the Fourth of July, CalTrans painted over a 35-foot American flag mural on a hillside in the East Bay, several hours north of Orcutt, which had been completed in the wake of the terrorist attacks. CalTrans painted over the mural with gray paint. Even before the Fourth, a couple of industrious citizens painted it red, white, and blue again. After being heavily criticized, CalTrans apologized.

The Idiot Box ( the media ) by Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
by Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
Do you ever wonder how many Americans really understand what is happening to their country and how many ignorantly believe what they hear and read from the left-leaning TV and print news media---CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, the New York Times and its numerous syndicated local newspapers? The big picture is not Bin Laden’s death, a thirty minute story which has been repetitively covered 24/7 for more than an entire week without photo proof, nor Obama’s supposed birth certificate which aired for a couple of weeks before that, but whether Americans will survive as a nation of free people rather than become slaves of growing Fedzilla---a ‘transformation’ which has been in high gear since Obama was elected.
Most of the American news media, belatedly including the ‘fair and balanced’ FOX network, pedals sensationalism rather than reality, PC fiction rather than fact, and shallow entertainment diversions instead of reporting Fedzilla’s systematic dismantling of America. There are a couple of exceptions, such as Judge Napolitano’s Freedom Watch on FOX Business Channel each evening, which report the deteriorating condition of our nation and the direction it is headed in the hands of anti-American socialist thugs. Shame on the national media and their owners!
While Bin Laden’s death occurred on Obama’s shift, there is not one whet of evidence that Mr. Obama has changed his grand scheme for a ‘new’ America! His background, his actions and his verbiage remain consistent. The plan is to transform America from the most freedom-blessed, God-fearing, self-sufficient and powerful nation in the world to one in which every part of our lives is dominated by government, with fulfillment of Obama’s ideological objective to destroy what has been ‘special’ about America so as to ‘level the playing field’ in the eyes of the rest of the world.
The Obama administration, empowered by his socialist financiers and the naïve Americans who elected him, continues to systematically attack our freedoms, subvert our laws and reinterpret the Constitution. It is all part of a conversion designed to grow government into one which regulates speech, press, commerce, healthcare delivery, the right to bear arms, how much of one’s financial assets can be kept, and personal privacy. For Obama and the Left it is about control of our lives. But you did not hear this in the Leftwing media!
The Left will continue to milk the cow of Bin Laden’s death for Obama’s political gain despite the fact that he is uncomfortable with what happened as expressed through his concern for following Muslim tradition in disposal of the body of one who is responsible for murdering thousands of innocent lives. But don’t expect the Leftist media to tell Americans that Mr. Obama and his socialist elites want to obstruct free speech in the name of PC; promote tolerance of intolerant religions including overwriting our laws with theirs; transform the best healthcare system on the face of the Earth where no one---not even illegal immigrants---goes without; create omnipotent government which can tell you which light bulbs to burn and which car you can buy; deprive you of your right to bear arms for self-defense and yet steal your earnings to further fund a massive redundant but mostly useless bureaucracy.
In closing, I found the first Republican candidate question and answer session in South Carolina last week to be more interesting and informative than I expected. It was refreshing to see true American patriots on stage----especially Governor Palwenty, Senator Santorum, businessman Herman Caine, and libertarian Ron Paul who knows better than to try and split the conservative vote in 2012. Any one of these men have ideas which put into action could reset America’s course.
I urge Americans not to ignore these debates or the urgent need for repudiation of this Administration. Every American has a vote to determine whether we allow the socialist Left to continue destruction of our economy, security and liberty, or whether we extricate ourselves from them. What is YOUR choice?

I am not 100% in agreement with this statement by Dr. Bates. I would not include Ron Paul in the mix of coming to the rescue of the course our country is on. Ron Paul is VERY anti-semitic for one thing.

Worst CIC In History of USA ~ Me, Me, Me, Narcissistic Tinkerbell Obama Describes The Bin Laden Killing On 60 Minutes
Barack Obama took 5 months, from August 2010 until January 2011, before he brought a team together to shape a plan to get Osama Bin Laden. This was after he knew in August the Bin Laden was hiding in the Abbottabad compound.
From Barack Obama’s interview with 60 Minutes
STEVE KROFT: When was that when you set that plan in motion?
OBAMA:
Well, they first came to me in August of last year with evidence of the compound. And they said that they had more work to do on it, but at that point they had enough that they felt that it was appropriate for us to start doing some planning. And so from that point on we started looking at the time what our options might be.
The vigorous planning did not begin until early this year. And obviously over the last two months it’s been very intensive in which not only did an action plan get developed, but our guys actually started practicing being able to execute.
Obama said he didn't lose any sleep over Osama bin Laden's killing.
The president said he had no hesitation over ordering bin Laden's death, though he admitted to nervousness about sending U.S. special forces troops into Pakistan or the dangerous -- but ultimately successful -- mission.
"As nervous as I was about this whole process, the one thing I didn't lose sleep over was the possibility of taking bin Laden out. Justice was done," Obama said Sunday on "60 Minutes" on CBS. "And I think that anyone who would question that the perpetrator of mass murder on American soil-- didn't deserve what he got needs to have their head examined."
Obama announced a week ago, late on Sunday night, that bin Laden had been killed following a daring raid, details of which emerged over the course of the week. But while ordering the mission was a "sobering" decision, Obama said he never had doubts.
"You know, every time I make a decision -- about launching a missile, every time I make a decision about sending troops into battle -- you know I understand that this will result in people being killed," he said. "And that is a sobering fact. But it is one that comes with the job."
“We thought it was important to think through ahead of time how we would dispose of the body if he were killed in the compound. And I think that what we tried to do was – consulting with experts in Islamic law and ritual – to find something that was appropriate, that was, respectful of the body.”
For the rest of his interview click here.

Wait. What? OMG what an ego!

This should make most Liberals head explode. So they weren't ordered to capture Bin Laden if possible? Remember Water-Boarding is bad. This is also the same administration that wanted to read Miranda rights to combatants. No military trials.

Obama and Senate Seeks to Create Caesar There Must Be A NO Vote On S. 679
Obama and Senate Seeks to Create Caesar
By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
While all of America is distracted and focused on the death of Osama bin Laden, our President and his minions have been fast at work laying the groundwork for S. 679: Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act of 2011 to speed through the Senate and then make its way into the House and then to the President to sign. Yes, the other hand is quickly forming into a dictatorial fist that is about to smash our Constitution.
America is poised with this proposed bill, to morph immediately from a Republic into an empire with the privileged eunuchs of the Senate as window dressing and a dictator – the first American Caesar – at the country’s helm.
And leading the progressive charge is Chuck Schumer (D-NY). No big surprise there. Schumer is an elitist Marxist and a first class progressive who hates America almost as much as he loves power. He introduced S. 679 on March 30th, 2011. He was joined by a gaggle of progressives from the left and the right. This is something I have been warning Americans about for a long time. If we are to survive as a nation, we must rid ourselves of ALL progressives or our nation is doomed and freedom will be swept into the dustbin of history.
Schumer’s esteemed list of constitutional traitors is as follows:
■Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN)
■Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM)
■Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)
■Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA)
■Sen. Thomas Carper (D-DE)
■Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME)
■Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL)
■Sen. Mike Johanns (R-NE)
■Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ)
■Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT)
■Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN)
■Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
■Sen. John Reed (D-RI)
■Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)
■Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
From The Heritage Foundation, here is a succinct explanation of the bill:
The bill reduces the number of presidential appointments that require the consent of the Senate and establishes within the executive branch a Working Group on Streamlining Paperwork for Executive Nominations. Individuals nominated to senior executive offices suffer slow and detailed background investigations and mounds of duplicative paperwork before a President sends their nominations to the Senate. After nomination, many nominees suffer time-consuming inaction or time-consuming and excruciating action as the Senate proceeds (or does not) with consideration of the nomination. The sponsors of S. 679 have identified a valid problem, but proposed the wrong solution. Congress should not enact S. 679.
In essence they want to give the President the sole power to appoint people to positions of his choosing within our government. Obama would be free to do this without the approval of the Senate. Senate approval of such positions is mandated by the U.S. Constitution in Article II, Section 2 under the “Appointments Clause”:
… shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
This bill will do away with the checks and balances that separate an American form of government from those such as Venezuela and Brazil. Already we have power mongers such as Cass Sunstein our Regulatory Czar (more commonly known as the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and more aptly titled the Office of Government Propaganda) running amok across the US using agencies such as the EPA as a weapon of regulation and control. There is not a single area in our country that Sunstein does not have his claws sunk deep into. It should scare the crap out of Americans, but all I hear are crickets. The silence of capitulation seals our fate as surely as the thunderous applause of approval – so ends the Republic.
More from The Heritage Foundation:
When the delegates of the states gathered in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787 and wrote the Constitution, they distributed the powers of the federal government among two Houses of Congress, a President, and a judiciary, and required in many cases that two of them work together to exercise a particular constitutional power. That separation of powers protects the liberties of the American people by preventing any one officer of the government from aggregating too much power.
The Framers of the Constitution did not give the President the kingly power to appoint the senior officers of the government by himself. Instead, they allowed the President to name an individual for a senior office, but then required the President to obtain the Senate’s consent before appointing the individual to office. Thus, they required the cooperation of the President and the Senate to put someone in high office.
I know Americans have not forgotten about Obama’s string of Czars. Czars that he was supposed to downsize or get rid of. Czars, which in my personal viewpoint, were and still are illegal under the Constitution. But progressives never go away, they just shift… As has done so many of Obama’s Czars. With this sweeping bill, over 200 positions will no longer require Senate approval. Obama will dictate who are his powerful lieutenants and who will control America. The Senate will merely be a sham to parrot Obama’s dictates. With this bill, checks and balances will be effectively nullified.
What does that portend you say? One day, your right to own a gun will be gone, just regulated away. Businesses will be nationalized even more than they are now. Heavy regulation will ensue concerning communications and the Internet. Many, many private businesses will whither and die. You will be told what and how much to eat – food and gas rationing will become the norm. Poverty and squalor will become equal for all as wealth is redistributed to other nations. If there are elections, they will be a joke and pointless. There will be a few powerful elites and then the masses. Guess which camp you and I will be in?
Our best hope at this juncture is that this abomination will be stopped in the House. We must weed out the progressives and we must win in 2012. This country will not survive another four years of progressive policies. Not as a Republic and not as a free entity anyway.
The bitter irony on display here, is that the same jackals that have barked and snarled and feigned horror at “American Imperialism,” are the very ones who now howl their support for a true American empire. All hail Caesar!

Republic to Dictatorship!
Obama and Schumer want to do away powers enumerated in the Constitution.
I believe the US Constitution is inspired. I can just imagine God might say something like, "I gave you the Constitution to protect your rights and to be a light of freedom to the world. What did you do to protect the Constitution?"
So who is the ultimate protector of the Constitution? The people. It is "we the people" who created the Constitution. It is "we the people" who must defend it! Nobody else will!

Former US Ambassador to Pakistan A Real Moron:Obama showed 'as much courage as our Navy SEALs' ~
Former US ambassador to Pakistan: Barack Obama showed 'as much courage as our Navy SEALs'
There’s been a fair amount of – how shall I put it? – sucking up to President Barack Obama over the past week for his decision to send in the US Navy SEALs to kill Osama bin Laden. Certainly, it was a bold gamble that paid off richly and if it hadn’t it could have crippled his presidency.
But rather than let Obama’s actions speak for themselves, his aides and allies have gone into overdrive and “gutsy” has become the word of the week. As in:
When President Obama was faced with the opportunity to act upon this, the president had to evaluate the strength of that information and then made what I believe was one of the most gutsiest calls of any president in recent memory.
(John Brennan in the White House briefing room)
This was a gutsy decision by the president. A lot of things could have gone wrong.
(Senator John Kerry on MSNBC)
It was a very gutsy decision made by the president. I mean, he could have sent some Hellfire missiles in there and destroyed everybody and everything.
(Senator Dianne Feinstein on MSNBC)
All of those risks were debated. All of them were thoroughly explored. And in the end, I think that’s why the president made a very gutsy decision by deciding that for all of those risks, we had to do this.
(Leon Panetta on PBS)
You know, the president had an opportunity, on a very granular basis, to work with those guys every day, particularly the leaders of the bin Laden team, two very impressive guys. And the president came away very impressed. And it was their information that allowed him to make this gutsy call.
(Denis McDonagh on CNN)
Some have detected a touch of sycophancy and message coordination in all this, suspicions that might be increased by the fact that the newly-acquired domain name gutsycall.com will direct you to Barack Obama’s campaign website.
But the top prize for the most sycophancy towards Obama this week surely has to be awarded to Wendy Chamberlain, Middle East Institute president and former US ambassador to Pakistan, who had this to say on CNN:
But he made that decision to go without telling Pakistan and that took some real courage, as much courage as our Navy SEALs did in pulling off a near flawless operation.
Hmm. Think about that. Deciding not to tell the Pakistanis makes Obama as brave as one of the SEALs on the Geronimo mission? As brave as a man who rappels down a rope from a Black Hawk into a compound deep in Pakistan at the dead of night knowing that it is the hideout of a mass murderer who happens to be the world’s most wanted terrorist?

Obama to Allah: Pardon Osama
H/T Atlas Shrugs
It was the priority of the Obama administration that it be done right -- much preparation was made prior to the kill. They couldn't decide on releasing the pictures prior to the kill, but studying Islamic texts and preparing for an Islamic burial,that was what the Obama administration deemed important.
Ltc Joe "enlightens" us on what is required for an "islamic burial." Were our soldiers forced to chant "allahu akbar" over the body of the biggest mass murdering monster of Americans in the cause of jihad? The same war cry that the 19 Muslim terrorists were screaming as the planes hit the towers.
Few realize that it requires the "loud recitation of the four tabkbirs"(allahu akbar).
See Fiqh Us-Sunnah: Funerals and Dhikr by As-Sayyid Sabiq, page 39.
Obama to Allah: Pardon Osama
The Obama administration is in lockdown on the particulars of their disposal of the most hated man in the civilized world. Officials have refused to release photos or video of bin Laden’s capture, corpse or controversial sea burial, instead averring that it was “taken care of in the appropriate way.” “Appropriate” seems to be the administration’s final word on the matter. The answer to whether a Muslim expert was consulted was that “appropriate specialists and experts” were sought out, while a senior defense official at a Pentagon briefing emphasized Osama was handled “using the appropriate procedures and rituals.”
Additional questions on the burial have been decidedly unwelcome — when asked whether American service members were the ones who cleaned the terrorist’s body or why he was given an Islamic funeral, Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell sniffed, “I don’t think we care to get into those details.” John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, cut off a reporter asking whether an imam was at the funeral with, “It was done appropriately with the appropriate people there.”
For those wondering just what an “appropriate” Islamic burial entails, “Navy Military Funerals,” created by the Navy to govern laying their dead to rest, is a bit more forthcoming. Their “Service for the committal of a person of the Muslim faith” lays out explicit steps that must be followed in a Muslim sea burial. The body must have been washed and wrapped “as required for the bodies of Muslims,” which refers to ceremonial cleanings that must be done by another Muslim. Those who have gathered to pray at the burial—ostensibly crewmembers since family is not allowed at sea burials—must face Mecca.
Formal funeral prayers must be said—and are specifically listed in the service used by the Navy. In the part of the service in which supplication for the deceased is made, the prayer to be used includes the following:
“O Allah, forgive him, have mercy on him, pardon him, grant him security, provide him a nice place and spacious lodgings, wash him (off from his sins) with water, snow and ice, purify him from his sins as a white garment is cleansed from dirt, replace his present abode with a better one, replace his present family with a better one, replace his present partner with a better one, make him enter paradise and save him from the trials of grave [sic] and the punishment of hell.”
According to the Pentagon, “prepared religious remarks” were read at bin Laden’s funeral, but when asked whether his burial was performed according to Navy Military Funeral protocol, they had “no additional operational details or comments to make.” Mr. Brennan, however, in his Monday briefing on the bin Laden operation, reassured reporters that, “Burial at sea takes place on a regular basis. The U.S. military has the ability to ensure that that burial is done in a manner that is, again, consistent with Islamic law, as well as consistent with what the requirements are for a burial at sea. And so that burial was done appropriately.”
The families of those slaughtered by bin Laden—many of whom were Muslims—might not be happy to learn that the Obama administration may have considered it “appropriate” to ask Allah to “pardon” al Qaeda’s evil overlord. Or to petition him to not only let him into paradise but give him a nice, big house when he gets there, with a better family and wife (wives?). How will those families feel about the fact that this sociopath got a better burial than many of their dead loved ones, some of whose circumstances of death made them religiously ineligible for the prayers — or “religious remarks” — he received? The Pentagon’s official statement on his burial did not note whether bin Laden’s face was toward Ka’aba in Saudi Arabia, as the service instructs, but it did make clear that his body was “eased into the sea.”
All of this goes to show that President Obama is walking a fine line in what he wants two different groups to understand about bin Laden’s burial.
Sea burial itself is an American honor for which only service members, their dependents or outstanding U.S. citizens are eligible. This group is to trust that the decisions made by the Obama administration are the correct, “appropriate” ones and stop asking impertinent questions.
Meanwhile, the other group is subtly being courted with the emphasis on “conformance to Islamic requirements” throughout administration briefings. By reiterating, as Mr. Brennan did at least seven times in his Monday briefing, that the burial was done according to Islamic requirements, he has communicated that the President is more concerned about placating the feelings of Muslim extremists than closure for the American people.
Families of the victims of the 9/11 attacks who want to see photos of bin Laden’s corpse must be satisfied with a presidential victory lap at Ground Zero, while radical Islamists can be comforted by Mr. Brennan’s repetitive assurances that the burial was conducted according to rites with which they’re familiar—ones which inherently confer dignity and respect to the dead.

Pakistan Breaches Trust, Names Local CIA Boss
Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari
Pakistan Breaches Trust, Names Local CIA Boss
Amid bitter, recriminatory exchanges between the United States and Pakistan over the Osama bin Laden extermination, planned bilateral visits of President Asif Ali Zardari to Washington DC and a return trip of President Barack Obama to Islamabad are both in jeopardy. Ties between the two sides are expected to slide further following Pakistan’s “outing” of the CIA station chief in Islamabad on Saturday.
In a sign of how bad ties are between the two countries, Pakistani media on Saturday once again publicly named the CIA station chief in Islamabad, a breach of both protocol and trust, that is bound to enrage Washington.
A Pakistani TV channel and a newspaper considered mouthpieces of the country’s military said the ISI chief Ahmed Shuja Pasha had met CIA station chief Mark Carlton to protest US incursion into Abbottabad to kill al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden. CIA station chiefs remain anonymous and unnamed in public although the host government is told.
Earlier, the Obama administration had asked Pakistan to disclose names of its top intelligence operatives to determine whether they had contact with Osama or his agents.
The latest breach indicates that a section of the Pakistani military-intelligence establishment is determined to run the CIA out of the country fearing that the ISI’s links with terror groups and its sheltering of terrorist leaders will be exposed.

Obama's College Trip to Pakistan ~ Posted Earlier Aug.4th 2009
Obama's College Trip to Pakistan
April 8, 2008...Date this was during the campaign
by Jake Tapper
At a fundraiser in San Francisco, Ca., Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., claimed he had more world experience than his rivals, Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and introduced a new bit of biographical information.
"It's ironic because this is supposedly the place where experience is most needed to be Commander-in-Chief. Experience in Washington is not knowledge of the world. This I know. When Senator Clinton brags 'I've met leaders from eighty countries' -- I know what those trips are like! I've been on them. You go from the airport to the embassy. There's a group of children who do native dance. You meet with the CIA station chief and the embassy and they give you a briefing. You go take a tour of a plant that [with] the assistance of USAID has started something. And then -- you go."
"You do that in eighty countries," Obama said, "You don't know those eighty countries. So when I speak about having lived in Indonesia for four years, having family that is impoverished in small villages in Africa --knowing the leaders is not important -- what I know is the people...I traveled to Pakistan when I was in college -- I knew what Sunni and Shia was [sic] before I joined the Senate Foreign Relations Committee."
This last part -- a college trip to Pakistan -- was news to many of us who have been following the race closely. And it was odd that we hadn't hear about it before, given all the talk of Pakistan during this campaign. (( said by Jack Tapper )
So I asked the Obama campaign for more information.
Apparently, according to the Obama campaign, In 1981 -- the year Obama transferred from Occidental College to Columbia University -- Obama visited his mother and sister Maya in Indonesia. After that visit, Obama traveled to Pakistan with a friend from college whose family was from there. The Obama campaign says Obama was in Pakistan for about three weeks, staying with his friend's family in Karachi and also visiting Hyderabad in Southern India.
more on Obama's trip to Pakistan:
In “Dreams from My Father,” he talks of having a Pakistani roommate when he moved to New York, a man he calls Sadik who “had overstayed his tourist visa and now made a living in New York’s high-turnover, illegal immigrant work force, waiting on tables.”
Mr. Obama, the campaign and his publisher have not provided any details about the identity of Sadik.
During his years at Occidental College, Mr. Obama also befriended Wahid Hamid, a fellow student who was an immigrant from Pakistan and traveled with Mr. Obama there, the Obama campaign said. Mr. Hamid is now a vice president at Pepsico in New York, and according to public records, has donated the maximum $2,300 to the Obama campaign and is listed as a fund-raiser for it.
1981 - Obama Visits Pakistan When All Non-Muslim Vistors Unwelcome - Bin Laden There, Too
from Daily Musings
Pakistan was in turmoil in 1981 and ruled of martial law. Millions of Afghan refugees were living in Pakistan, while the Afghan Mujahedeen operated from bases inside Pakistan in their war with the Soviets. One of the leaders that based his operation in Quetta, Pakistan was Usama Bin Laden (The Sheik).
Pakistan was on the banned travel list for US Citizens at the time and all non-Muslim visitors were not welcome unless sponsored by their embassy for official business.
The would be only a few reasons a young Westerner of the Muslim faith would travel to Pakistan in 1981:
* To Participate in Jihad, which is the duty of every “True Believer”.
* For religious education in a Wahabbi sect, Saudi funded, Madrassa.
* In order to purchase drugs from the drug marketplace.
Pakistan was not a tourist stop nor the place to hang out with someone’s family in 1981.
Old friends remember Barack Obama's pre-politics years in New York, Los Angeles
May 16,2008
Obama spent the six years between 1979 and 1985 at Occidental College in Los Angeles and then in New York at Columbia University and in the workplace. His memoir, Dreams from My Father, talks about this time, but not in great detail; Siddiqi, for example, is identified only as “Sadik” _ “a short, well-built Pakistani” who smoked marijuana, snorted cocaine and liked to party. Obama’s campaign wouldn’t identify “Sadik,” but The Associated Press located him in Seattle, where he raises money for a community theater. Together, the recollections of Siddiqi and other friends and acquaintances from Obama’s college years paint a portrait of the candidate as a young man.
Some described the young Obama’s personality as confident to the point of arrogance, a criticism that would emerge decades later, during the campaign.
Not everyone who knew Obama in those years is eager to talk. Some explained that they feared inadvertently hurting Obama’s campaign. Among his friends were Siddiqi and two other Pakistanis, all of them from Karachi; several of those interviewed said the Pakistanis were reluctant to talk for fear of stoking rumors that Obama is a Muslim.
As a freshman, he quickly became friends with Mohammed Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, two wealthy Pakistanis.
Neither Hamid nor Chandoo would be interviewed for this story; Hamid is now a top executive at Pepsico in New York, and Chandoo is a self-employed financial consultant in the New York area. Both have each contributed the maximum $2,300 to Obama’s campaign, and records indicate each has joined an Asian-American council that supports his run for president. Both also are listed on Obama’s campaign Web site as being among his top fundraisers, each bringing in between $100,000 and $200,000 in contributions from their networks of friends. Both also attended Obama’s wedding in 1992, according to published reports and other friends.
His campaign press secretary Bill Burton subsequently gave inquiring journalists more details of Obama’s Pakistan visit. US Today of April 10, 2008 quoted Bill as saying: “Mr Obama had visited Pakistan for three weeks after visiting his mother Mrs Ann Dunham and half-sister, Maya Soetoro, in Indonesia.
He had travelled with a college friend whose family used to live in Karachi.” As a matter of fact, Obama had travelled to Pakistan after leaving Occidental College in Los Angeles in 1981 to transfer to the Columbia University in New York.
The Afghan war was at its peak at that time and the US State Department had already issued a warning for Americans travelling to Pakistan. An August 14, 2008 report by the Associated Press even alleged that Obama had actually travelled to Pakistan under his Muslim name—Barry Soetero—while using an Indonesian passport.
According to www.pakistaniat.com , during his Pakistan visit, Obama stayed in Karachi with the family of his college friend Hassan Chandeo. Now a self employed financial consultant living in Armonk in Westchester County of New York, Hassan Chandeo took his African-American college friend on traditional partridge hunting trips to Hyderabad, Larkana, Shikarpur and Jacobabad districts. Partridge hunting is considered a symbol of good hospitality in Sindh. Barack Obama made friends with a Sindhi politician Muhammadmian Soomro as well, who hails from the Shikarpur district of Sindh and is Senate Chairman. The newly elected American president reportedly lived at Muhammad Ali Society residence of Ahmad Mian Soomro, the father of Muhammadmian Soomro.
Orly is shown talking with reporters at this site where she mentions 39 DIFFERENT SOCIAL SECURITY cards tied in with obama and 140 different addresses.... it begins on the interview at 7:35 on the video or of course you can watch the entire video.
"While being sworn as an attorney in the State of Illinois, Mr Obama had to provide his personal information under oath. He was asked, if he had any other names, he responded none. In reality, he used the name Barry Soetoro, citizen of Indonesia. It was reported that he studied at Occidental College in California [Los Angeles] under the name Barry Soetoro and there was an entry in the journal of the California assembly in re. to grants given to foreign exchange students, one Soetoro from Indonesia. Mr. Soetoro/Obama clearly defrauded the State Bar if Illinois and perjured himself while concealing his identity. Anybody else would’ve been disbarred for this and the matter would’ve been forwarded to the district attorney for prosecution for perjury and fraud, however nothing was done to Mr. Obama. More importantly, why did he conceal his identity? " ~ Dr. Orly Taitz

Wild Thing's comment.........
I did this entire post back in Aug of 2009 and have transposed it for today. Since Pakistan is now in the news again I thought you might like to see it again.
Reporters did not know about Obama's trip to Pakistan and only learned of it during his speech in San Francisco. Yes this is all from back during the campaign.
With Pakistan being under Martial Law at the time Obama went there, and the fact of it being a hot spot it would have been almost impossible to travel to Pakistan. It says it was on a banned travel list. And that "all NON Muslim visitors were not welcome". Oh I know Obama says he was not a Muslim and is not one now as well.LOL
What is he going to say “I went to a madrassa but didn’t inhale”-defense?
So many secrets, so many questions and all to hide things about Obama. So much for that transparency he has gone on and on about.

Bob Woodward Writes Yet Another Version Obama's Attempt As A CIC , This One Has Cameras Rolling
In South Carolina this week a Frank Luntz focus group of conservatives were not fooled by Obama and the state-run media. They understood that it was not accurate for Obama to take full credit for the killing of Bin Laden. They understood that every Bush policy Obama opposed as a senator helped the US get Bin Laden.
.
The various versions of the OBL take out with obama and his administration:
The newest add ons are #28 and # 29......see below.
1) There was a firefight.
2) There was no firefight.
3) Bin Laden was “resisting.”
4) Bin Laden wasn’t armed. (Makes the concept of “resisting” interesting.)
[4.a) And the newest one: the SEALS thought bin Laden was reaching for a weapon.]
5) He used his wife as a shield.
6) His wife was killed too.
7) He didn’t use his wife as a shield. She ran at a SEAL who shot her in the leg, but she’s fine.
8 ) Some other woman — the maid? — was used as a shield. By somebody. Downstairs.
9) That other woman — downstairs — was killed.
10) Maybe not. She was killed unless she wasn’t — and who was she, anyway?
11) Bin Laden’s son was killed.
12) Unless it was some other guy.
13) Bin Laden’s daughter saw him get killed. She’s undoubtedly traumatized, poor dear.
14) They were going to capture Bin Laden until the problem with the helicopter, which was:
A) It had mechanical trouble
B) It did a hard landing
C) It crashed
D) It clipped a wall with a tail rotor, effectively a crash
15.) They were never going to try to capture him; it was always a kill mission.
16.) No, it wasn’t.
17) The chopper blew up.
18) The SEALs blew it up.
19.) Panetta said yesterday the world needed proof and the photo would be released.
20.) Obama said today in an interview he taped with Steve Kroft for “60 Minutes” to be broadcast Sunday that it won’t be released. It’s too gruesome, would offend Muslim sensibilities (something he worries about a lot — I personally do not give a warm fart on a wet Wednesday about Muslim sensibilities), and how would Americans feel if Muslims released pictures of dead Americans?
21.) Kroft — who’s not a total idiot — pointed out that ever since “Black Hawk Down” days, Muslims have been doing precisely that, filming American bodies being dragged through the streets, filming Daniel Pearl’s head being cut off, filming any and everything.
22) Obama gets pissed at CBS, the tape gets cleaned up, that question disappears. (Inside info.)
23.) We got a “treasure trove” of stuff from hard drives, etc.
24.) There were no phone lines, and no internet access at the “mansion,” they didn’t even have TV — what “treasure trove?”
25.) There is obviously in the pictures of the place a large satellite dish. I guess they used it for making salads.
26.) And now, just today: apparently the idea was to capture him, but only if he was naked. There was a suspicion he might be wearing a suicide bomber type explosive vest, or belt. So if he’s not naked and you can’t see if he has a vest on or not – shoot him.
27.) video feed was not working ( so what were they watching so intensly????
28.) Staged Obama Press Conference Photos Sunday Night Reuters White House photographer Jason Reed describes how the president made his speech to a single TV camera, then immediately after finishing, he pretended to speak for the still cameras
Reed writes:
“As President Obama continued his nine-minute address in front of just one main network camera, the photographers were held outside the room by staff and asked to remain completely silent. Once Obama was off the air, we were escorted in front of that teleprompter and the President then re-enacted the walk-out and first 30 seconds of the statement for us.”
29.) And now Bob Woodward claims that the cameras were rolling the whole time.LOL gosh I wonder why they can't make up their minds.
Bob Woodwards article......Death of Osama bin Laden: Phone call pointed U.S. to compound — and to ‘the pacer’
It seemed an innocuous, catch-up phone call. Last year Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, the pseudonym for a Pakistani known to U.S. intelligence as the main courier for Osama bin Laden, took a call from an old friend.
Where have you been? inquired the friend. We’ve missed you. What’s going on in your life? And what are you doing now?
Kuwaiti’s response was vague but heavy with portent: “I’m back with the people I was with before.”
There was a pause, as if the friend knew that Kuwaiti’s words meant he had returned to bin Laden’s inner circle, and was perhaps at the side of the al-Qaeda leader himself.
The friend replied, “May God facilitate.”
When U.S. intelligence officials learned of this exchange, they knew they had reached a key moment in their decade-long search for al-Qaeda’s founder. The call led them to the unusual, high-walled compound in Abbottabad, a city 35 miles north of Pakistan’s capital.
“This is where you start the movie about the hunt for bin Laden,” said one U.S. official briefed on the intelligence-gathering leading up to the raid on the compound early Monday.
The exchange and several other pieces of information, other officials said, gave President Obama the confidence to launch a politically risky mission to capture or kill bin Laden, a decision he took despite dissension among his key national security advisers and varying estimates of the likelihood that bin Laden was in the compound. The officials would speak about the collection of intelligence and White House decision making only on the condition that they not be named.
U.S. intelligence agencies had been searching for Kuwaiti for at least four years; the call with the friend gave them the number of the courier’s cellphone. Using a vast number of human and technical sources, they tracked Kuwaiti to the compound.
The main three-story building, which had no telephone lines or Internet service, was impenetrable to eavesdropping technology deployed by the National Security Agency.
U.S. officials were stunned to realize that whenever Kuwaiti or others left the compound to make a call, they drove some 90 minutes away before even placing a battery in a cellphone. Turning on the phone made it susceptible to the kind of electronic surveillance that the residents of the compound clearly wished to avoid.
As intelligence officials scrutinized images of the compound, they saw that a man emerged most days to stroll the grounds of the courtyard for an hour or two. The man walked back and forth, day after day, and soon analysts began calling him “the pacer.” The imagery never provided a clear view of his face.
Intelligence officials were reluctant to bring in other means of technical or human surveillance that might offer a positive identification but would risk detection by those in the compound. The pacer never left the compound. His routine suggested he was not just a shut-in but almost a prisoner.
Was the pacer bin Laden? A decoy? A hoax? A setup?
Bin Laden was at least 6-foot-4, and the pacer seemed to have the gait of a tall man. The White House asked the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which provides and analyzes satellite imagery, to determine the pacer’s height. The agency said the man’s height was somewhere between 5-foot-8 and 6-foot-8, according to one official.
Another official said the agency provided a narrower range for the pacer’s height, but the estimate was still of limited reliability because of the lack of information about the size of the building’s windows or the thickness of the compound’s walls, which would have served as reference points.
In one White House meeting, CIA Director Leon E. Panetta told Obama and other top national security officials that the general rule in gathering intelligence was to keep going until a target such as the Abbottabad compound ran dry.
Panetta said that point had been reached, arguing that those tracking the compound were seeing the pacer nearly every day but could not conclude with certainty that it was bin Laden, officials said. Panetta noted that there was no signals intelligence available and contended that it was too risky to send in a human spy or move any closer with electronic devices.
The Washington Post reported Friday that the agency established a safe house in Abbottabad for a small team that monitored the compound in the months leading up to the raid.
The decision
Obama and his advisers debated the options, officials said. One option was to fire a missile from a Predator or Reaper aerial drone. Such a strike would be low-risk, but if the result was a direct hit, the pacer might be vaporized and officials would never be certain they had killed bin Laden. If the drone attack missed, as had happened in attacks on high-value targets, bin Laden or whoever was living in the compound would flee and the United States would have to start the hunt from scratch.
Panetta designated Navy Vice Adm. William H. McRaven, who had headed the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) for nearly three years, to devise a boots-on-the ground plan for the special forces that became known as “the McRaven option.”
McRaven had increased the intensity of Special Operations raids, especially in Afghanistan. During his first two years as head of JSOC, the “jackpot rate” — when the strikes got their intended target — jumped from 35 percent to more than 80 percent.
His decision to assign the operation to the Navy SEALs, a Special Operations unit with extensive experience in raids on high-value targets, was critical. SEALs have a tradition of moving in and out fast, often killing everyone they encounter at a target site. Most members of the SEAL team in the bin Laden raid had been deployed to war zones a dozen or more times.
A “pattern of life” study of the compound by intelligence agencies showed that about a dozen women and children periodically frequented it.
Specific orders were issued to the SEALs not to shoot the women or children unless they were clearly threatening or had weapons. (During the mission, one woman was killed and a wife of bin Laden was shot in the leg.) Bin Laden was to be captured, one official said, if he “conspicuously surrendered.”
The longer such raids take, the greater the risk to the SEALs. One senior official said the general philosophy of the SEALs is: “If you see it, shoot it. It is a house full of bad guys.”
Several assessments concluded there was a 60 to 80 percent chance that bin Laden was in the compound. Michael Leiter, the head of the National Counterterrorism Center, was much more conservative. During one White House meeting, he put the probability at about 40 percent.
When a participant suggested that was a low chance of success, Leiter said, “Yes, but what we’ve got is 38 percent better than we have ever had before.”
The assault
Officials said Obama’s national security advisers were not unanimous in recommending he go ahead with the McRaven option. The president approved the raid at 8:20 a.m. Friday.
During the assault, one of the Black Hawk helicopters stalled, but the pilot was able to land safely. The hard landing, which disabled the helicopter, forced the SEALs to abandon a plan to have one team rope down from a Black Hawk and come into the main building from the roof. Instead, both teams assaulted the compound from the ground.
The White House initially said bin Laden was shot and killed because he was engaged in a firefight and resisted. Later, White House press secretary Jay Carney said bin Laden was not armed, but Carney insisted he resisted in some form. He and others have declined to specify the exact nature of his alleged resistance, though there reportedly were weapons in the room where bin Laden was killed.
A senior Special Operations official said that SEALs would avoid providing more details about the raid, to prevent the disclosure of methods central to their success. The individuals who took part in the raid, the official said, would not grant interviews and had signed nondisclosure agreements about their classified work.
“They are interested in closing ranks and getting on with business,” he said.
SEALs scooped up dozens of thumb drives and several computer hard drives that are now being scrutinized for information about al-Qaeda, especially an address, location or cellphone number for Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden’s second in command.
But officials said the delicate process of sifting this intelligence bonanza is made more challenging because of worries that using the wrong passwords could trigger a pre-planned erasure of digital information.
In the White House Situation Room on Sunday night, the president and his national security team watched a soundless video feed of the raid.
When bin Laden’s corpse was laid out, one of the Navy SEALs was asked to stretch out next to it to compare heights. The SEAL was 6 feet tall. The body was several inches taller.
After the information was relayed to Obama, he turned to his advisers and said: “We donated a $60 million helicopter to this operation. Could we not afford to buy a tape measure?”

This just in from London-istan: Violent clashes outside U.S. Embassy after hundreds of UK Muslims stage mock funeral for 'murdered' Bin Laden
Violent clashes broke out around the world today as thousands of supporters of Osama bin Laden took to the streets to protest at the Al-Qaeda leader's death.
While many protests took place across the Muslim world, the most extraordinary took place in London, where hundreds of supporters gathered at the U.S. embassy to stage a mock 'funeral service' for the slain terror leader.
The violence erupted just days after the city - often dubbed London-istan because of its reputation for Islamic extremism - was branded a major recruiting ground for Al Qaeda.
Dozens of police officers struggled with protesters who tried to storm the embassy with radicals carrying placards proclaiming that 'Islam will dominate the world' and branding U.S. leaders 'murderers'.
'It is only a matter of time before another atrocity - the West is the enemy,' Abu Muaz, 28, from east London, said.
The protest comes amid heightened security in London fearing revenge attacks by Al-Qaeda.
Over the past decade, the meida reported that London had become a 'feeding ground for hate' and a 'magnet for terrorism'.
The large Muslim community who live there are said to exploit civil liberties and openly preach jihad.
In fact, recent leaked documents showed that Britain's mosques became an international haven for extremists who enjoyed state benefits while being trained for terrorism.
The WikiLeaks files, written by U.S. military chiefs, revealed that at least 35 Guantanamo terrorists were radicalised in London mosques before being sent to fight against the West.
This is believed to be more than any other Western country.
Of these, just 17 were British nationals or had been granted asylum, while 18 had travelled from abroad – cementing Britain’s reputation as a global training camp for terrorists.
In other parts of the world, American flags were burned and thousands of Islamists held demonstrations vowing that more figures like Bin Laden would arise to wage holy war against the United States.
About 1,500 Islamists demonstrated near the city of Quetta, capital of Baluchistan province in the southwest.
Cleric Fazal Mohammad Baraich said amid shouts of 'Down with America' that: 'Jihad (holy war) against America will not stop with the death of Osama.
'Osama Bin Laden is a shaheed (martyr). The blood of Osama will give birth to thousands of other Osamas.'
In London, a member of the English Defence League - a far right group which opposes the spread of Islamic extremism - managed to slip through police lines to unveil an effigy of bin Laden in the middle of the 300-strong group of extremist Muslims.
It prompted screams of 'USA, burn in hell' and 'Obama, burn in hell' from angry protesters.

So much for NOT showing the photos and the funeral OBL had.....into the sea.
I'm expecting the real Muslims/moderates to come out and condemn this anytime now.
Anytime.
Waiting...... tap tap tap
I won't hold my breath.
So burning the flag is ok. Then burning the koran should be ok too. No?

Muslim Leaders Say U.S. Pilot Refused to Fly With Them Onboard ~ Kudos to this pilot!
Muslim Leaders Say U.S. Pilot Refused to Fly With Them Onboard
NASHVILLE, Tennessee
Two Muslim religious leaders say they were asked to leave a commercial airliner in Memphis on Friday and were told it was because the pilot refused to fly with them aboard.
Masudur Rahman, who is also an adjunct instructor of Arabic at the University of Memphis, said by phone from the terminal at Memphis International Airport that he and another imam had already been allowed to board their Delta Connection flight to Charlotte, North Carolina before they were asked to get off the plane.
Transportation Security Administration spokesman Jon Allen in Atlanta confirmed the incident and said it was not initiated by that agency.
A Delta Air Lines spokeswoman said the flight was operated by Atlantic Southeast Airlines, which is also based in Atlanta.
"We take security and safety very seriously and the event is currently under investigation," Atlantic Southeast spokesman Jarek Beem said Friday evening.
Both passengers are Memphis-area residents. Rahman said he was dressed in traditional Indian clothing and his traveling companion was dressed in Arab garb, including traditional headgear.
Rahman said he and Mohamed Zaghloul, of the Islamic Association of Greater Memphis, were cleared by security agents and boarded the plane for an 8:40 a.m. departure.
The aircraft pulled away from the gate, but the pilot then announced the plane must return, Rahman said. When it did, the imams were asked to go back to the boarding gate where Rahman said they were told the pilot was refusing to accept them because some other passengers could be uncomfortable.
Rahman said Delta officials talked with the pilot for more than a half-hour, but he still refused.
The men were taken to a lounge and booked on a later flight. Beem said they flew on to Charlotte later Friday.
"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused," Beem said.
The men contacted the Council on American-Islamic Relations ( CAIR), a Muslim civil rights and advocacy group in Washington, D.C.
"It's racism and bias because of our religion and appearance and because of misinformation about our religion." Rahman said. "If they understood Islam, they wouldn't do this."
He said a Delta manager apologized for the pilot's actions, but that he and Zaghloul never spoke directly with the pilot.
Ibrahim Hooper, of the American-Islamic organization, said the group will follow up with the airline and with the TSA to help ensure such incidents do not continue to occur.
Hooper said airline officials at Memphis tried to resolve the situation, but the pilot refused.

One brave pilot, refusing to risk his passengers. I’m glad they got kicked off the plane!!! Thank you captain for booting them off!!

Darn right! I am uncomfortable anytime I see someone in a moslem garb! You never know if and when they are going to explode. I do not trust them, especially the ones inside my country, period!
It's racism and bias because of our religion and appearance and because of misinformation about our religion." Rahman said. "If they understood Islam, they wouldn't do this."
BS,First of all, Islam isn't a race. Islam is a death cult and more biased then anything else! Kill Jews, Kill Christians and kill any muslim that does not follow their cult's rules.
And secondly, the pilot DOES understand Islam. That's why he removed these cult leaders.
I would fly on a plane with THIS pilot then a plane with a pilot that is NOT taking all his passengers safety seriously and is too worried about being PC to a death cult.

Obama Makes It VERY Clear: Photos Of Dead Soldiers OK, Photos Of A Dead MUSLIM Terrorist NOT OK
In February 2009, his second month in office, Barack Obama changed official policy to allow photos of dead US soldiers.
U.S. soldiers killed in combat in Afghanistan or Iraq have returned from the battlefield via Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. As their flag-draped caskets came off the plane, no news photographers were allowed to witness the scene, no reporters were allowed to interview families.
The policy was initiated by the first President Bush during the first Gulf War, and it was continued by the second President Bush, who always said the ban on cameras was designed to protect the privacy of military families.
Now the Obama administration has decided to open the gates of Dover. In a policy to be unveiled today, Pentagon officials told reporters, Defense Secretary Robert Gates — the only holdover from the Bush administration — will announce that news photos of flag-draped coffins will be allowed, as long as families agree.
But, this week Barack Obama announced that he would not release photos of dead Osama Bin Laden.
.
The White House
“There are sensitivities here in terms of the appropriateness of releasing photos of Osama Bin Laden… because of the sentitivities… Does it serve or harm our interests domestically and locally. It could be inflammatory.”

All we hear is that the Muslims sensibilities will be hurt,well how about the thousands who have gone into harms way to fight these terrorists and the ones who paid the ultimate price? I think giving OUR side a Moral boost is NOT A CRIME! For 10 years we have been Hunting this Monster down and now they wont show his picture? I agree with Rush Limbaugh,the Navy seals should have put a pair of womens underwear on his head and the picture would have been on the front Page of the New York Times Blood or not.

Obama Says Economy Can Take The Destructive Hits HE Gives It and Keep Going
Obama delivers remarks to Allison Transmission workers and guests Friday at one of the company’s plants in Indianapolis. Obama toured the facility and talked about his long-term plan to protect consumers against rising oil prices and decrease oil imports while ensuring a cleaner, safer, and more secure energy future.

Obama says economy can take hit and keep going
INDIANAPOLIS
Refocusing on the nation's economic struggles, President Barack Obama welcomed news Friday that the economy unexpectedly added more than 200,000 jobs last month. "We are regaining our footing," he said.
The president spoke during a visit to a transmission plant in Indianapolis, even as the killing of Osama bin Laden continued to dominate headlines and much of the president's time.
From Indianapolis he was to travel to Fort Campbell, Ky., to thank the Navy SEALs who stormed bin Laden's compound in Pakistan and shot him dead, and the helicopter operators who got them there.
But first, at Allison Transmission in Indianapolis, the president promoted his clean energy agenda while offering an optimistic assessment of the economy's growth. April's labor market report marked the third straight month in which more than 200,000 jobs were created, the best three-month hiring spree in five years and a sign of increasing confidence in the private sector.
"We've made this progress at a time when our economy's been facing some serious headwinds," the president told workers, citing high gas prices and the earthquake in Japan. "There will undoubtedly be some more challenges ahead, but the fact is that we are still making progress," he said. "And that proves how resilient the American economy is, and how resilient the American worker is, and that we can take a hit and we can keep on going forward."
Wild Thing's comment........
Easy for him to say... He’s causing the “hit”.
The unemployment rate went UP. MORE people are out of jobs. And the media is letting him get by with celebrating additional jobs as if it’s getting better. The media is on his side...they are as faithful in their Goebbel's-style propoganda for him as if he personally signed their paychecks.
9/11 proved we could take a hit and recover.
However, what we won’t survive is a concerted effort by leftists in power, and even more, the people who put them there.

Obama Floats Draft Plan To Tax Cars By The Mile ~ How's That Hope and Change Working For YOU Obama Voters!
Obama floats draft plan to tax cars by the mile
The Obama administration has floated a transportation authorization bill that would require the study and implementation of a plan to tax automobile drivers based on how many miles they drive.
The plan is a part of the administration's "Transportation Opportunities Act," an undated draft of which was obtained this week by Transportation Weekly.
This follows a March Congressional Budget Office report that supported the idea of taxing drivers based on miles driven.
Among other things, CBO suggested that a vehicle miles traveled (VMT) tax could be tracked by installing electronic equipment on each car to determine how many miles were driven; payment could take place electronically at filling stations.
The CBO report was requested by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-ND), who has proposed taxing cars by the mile as a way to increase federal highway revenues.
Obama's proposal seems to follow up on that idea in section 2218 of the draft bill. That section would create, within the Federal Highway Administration, a Surface Transportation Revenue Alternatives Office. It would be tasked with creating a "study framework that defines the functionality of a mileage-based user fee system and other systems."
The administration seems to be aware of the need to prepare the public for what would likely be a controversial change to the way highway funds are collected. For example, the office is called on to serve a public relations function, as the draft says it should "increase public awareness regarding the need for an alternative funding source for surface transportation programs and provide information on possible approaches."
The draft bill says the "study framework" for the project and a public awareness communications plan should be established within two years of creating the office, and that field tests should begin within four years.
The office would be required to consider four factors in field trials: the capability of states to enforce payment, the reliability of technology, administrative costs, and "user acceptance." The draft does not specify where field trials should begin.
The new office would be funded a total of $200 million through FY 2017 for the project.
Wild Thing's comment.......
We already do get taxed based on how many miles we drive — it’s called the per gallon gas tax — but obviously that’s just not enough.
Wow, another beautiful day in paradise. These freaks must lay awake nights dreaming up new and interesting ways to torment the portion of Americans who pay the damn bills.
Go for it Obama. I hope Obama makes this the centerpiece of his re-election campaign. That should seal his political coffin.
obama will have this country in total poverty before 2012.
a plan to tax automobile drivers based on how many miles they drive.
In the real world I'd say this would NEVER happen, but this is the world of Obama and nothing surprises me anymore.

Obama At Ground Zero Was Just Another Photo Op
9/11 Family Invited To Obama's Ground Zero Visit declines citing "disingenuous photo op"
The Obama Administtation carefully selected 50 9-11 families to join them at the White House this week. At least one declined.
As 50 carefully selected families prepare to join President Barack Obama for a ceremony at the World Trade Center site Thursday, one of the invited 9/11 families have decided to pass on the Commander-in-chief’s visit.
Although many consider it to be a once in a lifetime invitation, the Vigiano family of Deer Park, Long Island have respectfully declined.
“If this form letter was the invitation, it was kinda lame,” John Vigiano told PIX 11 News when describing the email invitation sent to him from the White House…
…Jeannie Evans, of Elmont, who lost her baby brother firefighter Robert Evans on 9/11 will also not be there Thursday. She wasn’t invited.
“I guess I feel lucky and leftout,” Evans said as she held a picture of her brother. “Its always a select few. Is it fair? No. We all have voices.”
Evans says she will probably watch Obama’s visit on television but wishes she could ask him a few questions.
“Why not show us proof, that Bin Laden was killed? I would like to see that,” wondered Evans.
.
9/11 family member Debra Burlingame describing how Obama today turned his back on her and walked away after she confronted him about his Attorney General – Eric Holder – considering prosecution of the very men who interrogated Khalid Sheikh Muhammed to get key information that eventually led to the killing of Osama Bin Laden. Burlingame is the sister of Chip Burlingame, who piloted the plane that terrorists hijacked and crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11.
Burlingame describes what happened. She told Obama:
“As a former attorney I know you can’t tell the Attorney General what to do. And he said, ‘No, I can’t.’ But I said ‘we — that shouldn’t stop you from offering your opinion. After all, we wouldn’t be here celebrating today if they hadn’t done their job. And they have the hammer of a possible indictment hanging over their heads. Can’t you at least give them your opinion.’ And he said ‘No I won’t,’ and he turned around and walked away.”
Those CIA interrogators were lawfully seeking to protect the United States. The job they did had much to do with the finding and killing of Osama Bin Laden. Obama is quick to want to bask in the glow of what their work produced, but unwilling to even dialogue with a 9/11 family member who asks him to recognize the service they rendered.

Father of United 93 Victim Todd Beamer: Obama's Taken Too Much Credit for Bin Laden's Demise
“I feel some chagrin now, though, about how the rest of it has been handled. And frankly it started May Day, 2011 when the president announced what had happened. The excessive use of the personal pronoun that he used in his remarks, I really felt that was the beginning of the Commander-in-Chief putting too much spotlight on himself, taking too much credit for what the remarkable Americans had done. And of course it’s only now accelerated to a greater degree in the media. “

Danger: Tax Trigger Ahead By Dick Morris
Danger: Tax Trigger Ahead
By Dick Morris
A diabolical plot is being hatched between Senate Democrats, the White House and three Republican accomplices — Tom Coburn (Okla.), Mike Crapo (Idaho) and Saxby Chambliss (Ga.). The concept is to enact an amendment to the debt-limit extension specifying certain targets for deficit reduction and then mandating automatic spending cuts AND tax increases to take effect if the goals are not met.
This formula permits backdoor tax increases on which nobody votes and no fingerprints appear. The taxes just happen automatically — the immaculate conception tax increase. The plan will vindicate Obama’s long-term goal: to expand the size of the government’s share of the economy.
When he took office, federal, state and local spending accounted for 35 percent of GDP. Now it equals 44 percent. But as long as the extra spending is borrowed, it is not permanent. So Obama’s goal has been to lock in the higher level of spending by matching it with higher taxes.
But even the Democrats are smart enough never to vote for tax increases on the general public and, only with some hesitation, to impose them on the wealthy. Now, with the automatic trigger, they and their Republican allies can vote for higher taxes while seeming only to be supporting deficit reduction. When the taxes come as a result of the automatic trigger they enacted, they can blame future Congresses for not agreeing to the spending cuts. They can even rail against the tax increases. It won’t matter. The tax hikes will take place automatically.
Of course, what one Congress mandates, another can repeal. But the mechanism of passing a law to block the tax increases is far more difficult. You would need 60 votes in the Senate and control of the House and the presidency — a tall and probably impossible order for future anti-tax Republicans. So the politicians can have it both ways — they can oppose tax increases and watch them take effect without their fingerprints on them.
So the game plan is for the debt-limit extension to stall in the House and for the bipartisan group of six senators to swoop in with their legislation to save the day. It will seem, to all appearances, that they will have mandated deficit reduction as the price for a debt-limit hike. So far, so good. But the tax trigger will be part of the package, and we will have stripped Congress of the power to tax and delegated it to an automatic trigger.
The crucial actors in this sham are the three Republicans who are part of the six-member “bipartisan” group that is cooking up the idea for the automatic trigger. Without the political cover Coburn, Chambliss and Crapo afford, the Democrats would never be able to push so audacious a plan. But Coburn has a sterling reputation as a fiscal conservative, as does Chambliss. All three Republican senators were just reelected (without breathing a word of their true intentions to their constituents). It is vital that all Republicans let these three senators know what we think of their plan for automatic tax increases.
Of course, once the trigger is enacted, the spending cuts won’t happen as promised. Even if they are enacted, the experience with previous spending-cut/tax-increase deals is that the taxes happen but the cuts don’t. Even if the spending reductions are actually enacted, they will likely be vitiated by the impact of tax increases on the economy. The taxes will drive down what economic growth remains, depressing government revenues and driving up entitlement safety-net spending. As a result, the deficit-reduction targets won’t be reached and even more tax increases will have to be triggered. A vicious cycle akin to that which has ruined cities like Detroit will set in.
Wild Thing's comment........
That the Democrats need the help of three Republicans in the Senate to push this idea suggests they no longer have a "working majority" themselves in that body.
And what about Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution?
"All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills."
Sadly, the Constitution hasn’t meant very much for quite some time now.

Obama Slams Republican Offshore Drilling Bill ~ Obama Is Bent On Destroying America!!
White House slams Republican offshore drilling bill
The White House sharply criticized a bill passed by the House of Representatives on Thursday that would expand offshore drilling as part of a broader Republican effort to stimulate domestic production in the face of rising gasoline costs.
The bill, which easily cleared the Republican-dominated House, would require lease sales to proceed that were canceled or delayed by the Obama administration offshore Virginia and in the Gulf of Mexico following the BP oil spill.
The White House said the bill would "undercut" new offshore drilling safety reforms imposed after the massive oil spill last year.
"These reforms strengthen requirements for issues ranging from well design to workplace safety to corporate accountability, and they require operators to show that they can contain a subsea oil spill like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill," the White House said.
Environmental groups said the legislation would leave the nation's oceans more vulnerable to drilling accidents.
"Congress is putting the interests of the oil industry over those of the American people," Ocean conservation group Oceana said in a statement. "Their chief priority seems to be assuring continued profits, even if it costs us our coasts."
Wild Thing's comment.......
I say send it to him anyway and force him to have to veto it, then hold a press conference and announce to all of America what kind of monster our country has in the WH.

Muslim in Chief Obama (U K L Lee) Says NO Photo Of Dead Osama bin Laden To Be Shown
.
On March 31, 2004, four men working for Blackwater USA as security guards — Scott Helvenston, Wesley Batalona, Jerry Zovko and Michael Teague — were ambushed by insurgents in Fallujah. They were killed, their bodies burned and mutilated, and two were strung up on a bridge over the Euphrates. The insurgents made their own video of the attack, broadcasting the images around the world.
The Obama administration prosecuted the SEALs who captured and slapped the mastermind behind the Fallujah killings.
.
And this............
The body of a dead US soldier being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu by Islamists
And there was this:
Private Kristian Menchaca (left) of Houston and Private Thomas Tucker of Oregon were captured by terrorists in Iraq, hacked to death, their eyes gouged, their bodies defiled. The bodies of the two soldiers were apparently dragged behind utility vehicles before being mutilated. It took the search team 12 hours to reach Pfc. Kristian Menchaca of Houston and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker of Madras, Ore., because soldiers had to make their way through numerous explosive devices set along the road and around the bodies themselves.
.
Obama has decided not to release photographs of Osama bin Laden's body
This quote is from an upcoming 60 Minutes' Steve Kroft in his interview today during which he explained his rationale for not releasing photos of bin Laden's body.
"It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence or as a propaganda tool. That's not who we are. We don't trot out this stuff as trophies. The fact of the matter is this was somebody who was deserving of the justice that he received and I think Americans and people around the world are glad he is gone, but we don't need to spike the football. And I think that given the graphic natures of these photos, it would create some national security risk and I've discussed this with Bob Gates and Hillary Clinton and my intelligence teams and they all agree."
Wild Thing's comment......
OH really Muslim obama? Well, I'm offended that we had a Muslim religious ceremony on a USA ship and our boys were forced to perticipate.
Obama doesn’t need to release the photos because he will be dragging Osama’s dead corpse to every campaign stop next year....obama is determined to overplay his hand on this one and it’s already turning off the American people...BIG TIME!!
All I can say is we have the most AWESOME troops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama's CIA Admits There Was “No Live Video Feed” During Osama Raid
The head of the CIA admitted yesterday: " that there was no live video footage of the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound"........ as further doubts emerged about the US version of events.
Then what were they watching?????
The White House released this photo of the security team watching the raid on the Osama compound in Abbottabad. Now we know the feed was not working.
Leon Panetta, director of the CIA, revealed there was a 25 minute blackout during which the live feed from cameras mounted on the helmets of the US special forces was cut off.
A photograph released by the White House appeared to show the President and his aides in the situation room watching the action as it unfolded. In fact they had little knowledge of what was happening in the compound.
Mr Panetta said: “Once those teams went into the compound I can tell you that there was a time period of almost 20 or 25 minutes where we really didn’t know just exactly what was going on. And there were some very tense moments as we were waiting for information.
"We had some observation of the approach there, but we did not have direct flow of information as to the actual conduct of the operation itself as they were going through the compound."
Mr Panetta also told the network that the US Navy Seals made the final decision to kill bin Laden rather than the president.
He said: "The authority here was to kill bin Laden. And obviously, under the rules of engagement, if he had in fact thrown up his hands, surrendered and didn't appear to be representing any kind of threat, then they were to capture him. But they had full authority to kill him.
"To be frank, I don't think he had a lot of time to say anything. It was a firefight going up that compound. And by the time they got to the third floor and found bin Laden, I think it - this was all split-second action on the part of the Seals."
The President only knew the mission was successful after the Navy Seals commander heard the word “Geronimo” on the radio, a code word from commandos reporting that they had killed bin Laden.
The absence of footage of the raid has led to conflicting reports about what happened in the compound. According to Pakistani authorities one of bin Laden’s daughter’s, who was present during the raid, claimed that her father was captured alive before he was killed.
There was also growing doubt about the US claims that Pakistan’s intelligence agencies involved in the raid.
Lieutenant General Asad Durrani, former head of the ISI, Pakistan's intelligence service, said it was "inconceivable" that his government was unaware of the US raid on Osama bin Laden's compound.
He claimed his country was forced to deny any knowledge of the raid to avoid a domestic backlash. The ISI's official line has been that bin Laden's compound had "slipped off our radar" after it raided the building in 2003 while hunting for another senior al-Qaeda operative.The agency claims it was unaware that bin Laden was hiding there.
Lieutenant General Durrani, however, said that the denial was a "political" maneuver by the intelligence services to avoid claims that they were working too closely with the US.
He said: "It is more likely that they did know [about the raid]. It is not conceivable that it was done without the involvement of Pakistani security forces at some stage. They were involved and they were told they were in position.
"The army chief was in his office, the cordons had been thrown around that particular place. The Pakistani helicopters were also in the air so that indicates that it was involved.
"[There are] political implications back home. If you say that you are involved there is a large, vocal faction of Pakistani society that will get very upset because we are carrying out repeatedly these operations with the Americans."
.
The Obama Administration’s cloud of confusion explained
what do we have here:
1) There was a firefight.
2) There was no firefight.
3) Bin Laden was “resisting.”
4) Bin Laden wasn’t armed. (Makes the concept of “resisting” interesting.)
[4.a) And the newest one: the SEALS thought bin Laden was reaching for a weapon.]
5) He used his wife as a shield.
6) His wife was killed too.
7) He didn’t use his wife as a shield. She ran at a SEAL who shot her in the leg, but she’s fine.
8 ) Some other woman — the maid? — was used as a shield. By somebody. Downstairs.
9) That other woman — downstairs — was killed.
10) Maybe not. She was killed unless she wasn’t — and who was she, anyway?
11) Bin Laden’s son was killed.
12) Unless it was some other guy.
13) Bin Laden’s daughter saw him get killed. She’s undoubtedly traumatized, poor dear.
14) They were going to capture Bin Laden until the problem with the helicopter, which was:
A) It had mechanical trouble
B) It did a hard landing
C) It crashed
D) It clipped a wall with a tail rotor, effectively a crash
15.) They were never going to try to capture him; it was always a kill mission.
16.) No, it wasn’t.
17) The chopper blew up.
18) The SEALs blew it up.
19.) Panetta said yesterday the world needed proof and the photo would be released.
20.) Obama said today in an interview he taped with Steve Kroft for “60 Minutes” to be broadcast Sunday that it won’t be released. It’s too gruesome, would offend Muslim sensibilities (something he worries about a lot — I personally do not give a warm fart on a wet Wednesday about Muslim sensibilities), and how would Americans feel if Muslims released pictures of dead Americans?
21.) Kroft — who’s not a total idiot — pointed out that ever since “Black Hawk Down” days, Muslims have been doing precisely that, filming American bodies being dragged through the streets, filming Daniel Pearl’s head being cut off, filming any and everything.
22) Obama gets pissed at CBS, the tape gets cleaned up, that question disappears. (Inside info.)
23.) We got a “treasure trove” of stuff from hard drives, etc.
24.) There were no phone lines, and no internet access at the “mansion,” they didn’t even have TV — what “treasure trove?”
25.) There is obviously in the pictures of the place a large satellite dish. I guess they used it for making salads.
26.) And now, just today: apparently the idea was to capture him, but only if he was naked. There was a suspicion he might be wearing a suicide bomber type explosive vest, or belt. So if he’s not naked and you can’t see if he has a vest on or not – shoot him.
27.) video feed was not working ( so what were they watching so intensly????
.
Maybe obama was playing video games.

Sarah Palin: "Show the Photos As a Warning to Others Seeking America's Destruction"
Sarah Palin: "Show the Photos As a Warning to Others Seeking America's Destruction"
Sarah Palin demanded Wednesday that President Obama stop "pussy-footing around" and release the ghoulish Osama Bin Laden death photos.
The Tea Party darling and would-be Presidential contender tweeted that America's enemies need to see the consequences of their diabolical deeds.
"Show the photos as a warning to others seeking America's destruction," Palin posted on Twitter shortly after Obama put the kibosh on showing the bullet-riddled body of the Al Qaeda chief.
"No pussy-footing around, no politicking, no drama; it's part of the mission," wrote the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate.
Palin was joined by GOP leaders like South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham in calling for the pictures to be made public no matter how "gruesome" and "inflammatory" the White House says they are.
Earlier Wednesday, Obama told CBS "60 Minutes" that he's holding back the photos to avoid inciting "additional violence" or to be used as a "propaganda tool." "We don't trot out this stuff as trophies," Obama said.

Oops! Sen. Brown Duped By Fake bin Laden Photo
Sen. Scott Brown fooled by picture of bin Laden corpse: MyFoxBOSTON.com
U.S. Sen. Scott Brown — who said earlier today he saw a picture of Osama bin Laden taken after the Sept. 11 mastermind was killed — fell victim to a fake photo of the al-Qaeda leader’s death that made the rounds after U.S. forces shot him on Sunday.
“The photo that I saw and that a lot of other people saw is not authentic,” Brown said in a statement.
A staffer added that the Wrentham Republican obtained the photo from what he believed to be “a reliable source.” The staffer said Brown was briefed on the raid by Obama administration officials.
Two other Senate Republicans, Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) and Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) told reporters this morning they had viewed photos of bin Laden after he was killed. Brown, Ayotte and Chambliss serve on the Armed Services Committee.
But Ayotte and Chambliss have also backtracked. Ayotte put out a statement saying she doesn’t know if the photo she saw was real. Chambliss told reporters there was “a misunderstanding” about the photo he claimed to have seen, adding “it was not an official photo.”
Wild Thing's comment....
LOL everything obama does has to be a lie or fake. RINO Scott Borwn needs to learn just how low obama would go to lie to the public on any topic.
I was thinking too about how John McCain spoke out so often against waterboarding. Remember how he said it was torture and should never be used. I guess that is why he is so silent now on how great it was of our troops to use waterboarding and how they DID get information because of it.
God bless our troops!!!!!

Intelligence garnered from waterboarded detainees was used to track down al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and kill him, CIA Chief Leon Panetta told NBC News on Tuesday. CIA Director Leon Panetta talking to NBC News’ Brian Williams about the spectacular raid by U.S. Navy SEALs that resulted in the killing of Osama Bin Laden.
"Enhanced interrogation techniques" were used to extract information that led to the mission's success, Panetta said during an interview with anchor Brian Williams. Those techniques included waterboarding, he acknowledged.
Panetta, who in a 2009 CIA confirmation hearing declared "waterboarding is torture and it's wrong," said Tuesday that debate about its use will continue.
Williams also tried to pin him down (begins at around the 3:50 mark) on whether the intelligence that led to Bin Laden was obtained through waterboarding. Panetta tried skirting the question first. He said there were so many different pieces of evidence that it was hard to settle on one piece as the deciding factor. Williams then tried asking Panetta if he was denying that waterboarding helped to obtain the key intelligence that led to Bin Laden. Panetta then said, “NO,” and went on to say that it was used on some of the detainees that gave up information – but that there is no way to know if the same information could not have been obtained through other techniques. He then directly confirmed at the end that “waterboarding” was used to gain information from the detainees that supplied intelligence which led to Bin Laden.
"Whether we would have gotten the same information through other approaches I think is always gonna be an open question," Panetta said.
"In the intelligence business you work from a lot of sources of information and that was true here," Panetta said. "We had a multiple source — a multiple series of sources — that provided information with regards to the situation. Clearly some of it came from detainees and the interrogation of detainees but we also had information from other sources as well."
Panetta's comments hours after Attorney General Eric Holder defended as lawful Tuesday the intelligence gathering and raid that resulted in the death of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
The raid was "lawful, legitimate and appropriate in every way. The people who were responsible for that action, both in the decision making and the effecting of that decision, handled themselves I think quite well,'' Holder told the House Judiciary Committee.
Holder's comments to the Judiciary Committee marked the first appearance before Congress by an Obama administration Cabinet official since the mission targeting bin Laden was carried out successfully early Monday.
Under questioning by a committee member, Holder said he did not know whether information helpful to the search for bin Laden was gained through harsh interrogation techniques of al-Qaida suspects.

Wild Thing's comment........
They are really having a hard time admitting that the things Bush, the CIA with Bush and our military did when Bush was president worked and worked well!
How funny to see that Panetta is finally admitting it and at the same time Holder is being questioned about the same thing and says it did not.

White House Insider: Obama Hesitated – Panetta Issued Order to Kill Osama Bin Laden
Photo of the WH War Room during the osama bin lalden operation showing an angry Barack Hussein Obama still wearing his golf attire and Bill Daley, Hillary Clinton and Robert Gates on the opposite side of the room.
This communication came from our long time D.C. Insider and details previous and ongoing conflicts surrounding the decision to assassinate terrorist Osama Bin Laden.
HC = Hillary Clinton
BD = Bill Daley
LP = Leon Panetta
CoC = Chain of Command/Commander in Chief
H/T Atlas Shrugs...RE Osama Bin Laden. Significant push to take him out months ago. Senior WH staff resisted. This was cause of much strain between HC and Obama/Jarrett. HC and LP were in constant communication over matter – both attempted to convince administration to act. Administration feared failure and resulting negative impact on president. Intel disgusted over politics over national security. Staff resigned/left. Check timeline to corroborate.
Now Intel already leaking to media facts surrounding how info obtained. Namely from enhanced interrogation efforts via GITMO prisoners. Obama administration placed in corner on this. Some media aware of danger to president RE this and attempting protection. Others looking for further investigation. We are pushing for them to follow through and already meeting with some access.
Point of determination made FOR Obama not BY Obama. Will clarify as details become more clear. Very clear divide between Military and WH. Jarrett marginalized 100% on decision to take out OBL. She played no part. BD worked with LP and HC to form coalition to force CoC to engage.
IMPORTANT SPECIFIC: When 48 hour go order issued, CoC was told, not requested. Administration scrambled to abort. That order was overruled. This order did not originate from CoC. Repeat – this order did not originate from CoC. He complied, but did not originate.
Independent military contacts have confirmed. Stories corroborate one another. This is legit.
The killing of Osama Bin Laden was in fact a Coup within Obama WH.
.
This update comes some 24 hours after longtime Washington D.C. Insider first outlined shocking details of an Obama administration having been “overruled” by senior military and intelligence officials leading up to the successful attack against terrorist Osama Bin Laden. What follows is further clarification of Insider’s insights surrounding that event.
White House Insider: Obama Hesitated – Panetta Issued Order to Kill Osama Bin Laden
Q: You stated that President Obama was “overruled” by military/intelligence officials regarding the decision to send in military specialists into the Osama Bin Laden compound. Was that accurate?
A: I was told – in these exact terms, “we overruled him.” (Obama) I have since followed up and received further details on exactly what that meant, as well as the specifics of how Leon Panetta worked around the president’s “persistent hesitation to act.” There appears NOT to have been an outright overruling of any specific position by President Obama, simply because there was no specific position from the president to do so. President Obama was, in this case, as in all others, working as an absentee president.
I was correct in stating there had been a push to invade the compound for several weeks if not months, primarily led by Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates, David Petraeus, and Jim Clapper. The primary opposition to this plan originated from Valerie Jarrett, and it was her opposition that was enough to create uncertainty within President Obama. Obama would meet with various components of the pro-invasion faction, almost always with Jarrett present, and then often fail to indicate his position. This situation continued for some time, though the division between Jarrett/Obama and the rest intensified more recently, most notably from Hillary Clinton. She was livid over the president’s failure to act, and her office began a campaign of anonymous leaks to the media indicating such. As for Jarrett, her concern rested on two primary fronts. One, that the military action could fail and harm the president’s already weakened standing with both the American public and the world. Second, that the attack would be viewed as an act of aggression against Muslims, and further destabilize conditions in the Middle East.
Q: What changed the president’s position and enabled the attack against Osama Bin Laden to proceed?
A: Nothing changed with the president’s opinion – he continued to avoid having one. Every time military and intelligence officials appeared to make progress in forming a position, Jarrett would intervene and the stalling would begin again. Hillary started the ball really rolling as far as pressuring Obama began, but it was Panetta and Petraeus who ultimately pushed Obama to finally act – sort of. Panetta was receiving significant reports from both his direct CIA sources, as well as Petraeus-originating Intel. Petraeus was threatening to act on his own via a bombing attack. Panetta reported back to the president that a bombing of the compound would result in successful killing of Osama Bin Laden, and little risk to American lives. Initially, as he had done before, the president indicated a willingness to act. But once again, Jarrett intervened, convincing the president that innocent Pakistani lives could be lost in such a bombing attack, and Obama would be left attempting to explain Panetta’s failed policy. Again Obama hesitated – this time openly delaying further meetings to discuss the issue with Panetta. A brief meeting was held at this time with other officials, including Secretary Gates and members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but Gates, like Panetta, was unable to push the president to act. It was at this time that Gates indicated to certain Pentagon officials that he may resign earlier than originally indicated – he was that frustrated. Both Panetta and Clinton convinced him to stay on and see the operation through.
What happened from there is what was described by me as a “masterful manipulation” by Leon Panetta. Panetta indicated to Obama that leaks regarding knowledge of Osama Bin Laden’s location were certain to get out sooner rather than later, and action must be taken by the administration or the public backlash to the president’s inaction would be “…significant to the point of political debilitation.” It was at that time that Obama stated an on-ground campaign would be far more acceptable to him than a bombing raid. This was intended as a stalling tactic, and it had originated from Jarrett. Such a campaign would take both time, and present a far greater risk of failure. The president had been instructed by Jarrett to inform Mr., Panetta that he would have sole discretion to act against the Osama Bin Laden compound. Jarrett believed this would further delay Panetta from acting, as the responsibility for failure would then fall almost entirely on him. What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a program that reported to him –and only him, involving a covert on the ground attack against the compound. Basically, the whole damn operation was already ready to go – including the specific team support Intel necessary to engage the enemy within hours of being given notice. Panetta then made plans to proceed with an on-ground assault. This information reached either Hillary Clinton or Robert Gates first (likely via military contacts directly associated with the impending mission) who then informed the other. Those two then met with Panetta, who informed each of them he had been given the authority by the president to proceed with a mission if the opportunity presented itself. Both Gates and Clinton warned Panetta of the implications of that authority – namely he was possibly being made into a scapegoat. Panetta admitted that possibility, but felt the opportunity to get Bin Laden outweighed that risk. During that meeting, Hillary Clinton was first to pledge her full support for Panetta, indicating she would defend him if necessary. Similar support was then followed by Gates. The following day, and with Panetta’s permission, Clinton met in private with Bill Daley and urged him to get the president’s full and open approval of the Panetta plan. Daley agreed such approval would be of great benefit to the action, and instructed Clinton to delay proceeding until he had secured that approval. Daley contacted Clinton within hours of their meeting indicating Jarrett refused to allow the president to give that approval. Daley then informed Clinton that he too would fully support Panetta in his actions, even if it meant disclosing the president’s indecision to the American public should that action fail to produce a successful conclusion. Clinton took that message back to Panetta and the CIA director initiated the 48 hour engagement order. At this point, the President of the United States was not informed of the engagement order – it did not originate from him, and for several hours after the order had been given and the special ops forces were preparing for action into Pakistan from their position in Afghanistan, Daley successfully kept Obama and Jarrett insulated from that order.
This insulation ended at some point with an abort order that I believe originated from Valerie Jarrett’s office, and was then followed up by President Obama. This abort order was later explained as a delay due to weather conditions, but the actual conditions at that time would have been acceptable for the mission. A storm system had been in the area earlier, but was no longer an issue. Check the data yourself to confirm. Jarrett, having been caught off guard, was now scrambling to determine who had initiated the plan. She was furious, repeating the acronym “CoC” and saying it was not being followed. This is where Bill Daley intervened directly. The particulars of that intervention are not clear to me beyond knowing he did meet with Jarrett in his office and following that meeting, Valerie Jarrett was not seen in the West Wing for some time, and apparently no longer offered up any resistance to the Osama Bin Laden mission. What did follow from there was one or more brief meetings between Bill Daley, Hillary Clinton, a representative from Robert Gates’ office, a representative from Leon Panetta’s office, and a representative from Jim Clapper’s office. I have to assume that these meetings were in essence, detailing the move to proceed with the operation against the Osama Bin Laden compound. I have been told by more than one source that Leon Panetta was directing the operation with both his own CIA operatives, as well as direct contacts with military – both entities were reporting to Panetta only at this point, and not the President of the United States. There was not going to be another delay as had happened 24 hour earlier. The operation was at this time effectively unknown to President Barack Obama or Valerie Jarrett and it remained that way until AFTER it had already been initiated. President Obama was literally pulled from a golf outing and escorted back to the White House to be informed of the mission. Upon his arrival there was a briefing held which included Bill Daley, John Brennan, and a high ranking member of the military. When Obama emerged from the briefing, he was described as looking “very confused and uncertain.” The president was then placed in the situation room where several of the players in this event had already been watching the operation unfold. Another interesting tidbit regarding this is that the Vice President was already “up to speed” on the operation. A source indicated they believe Hillary Clinton had personally made certain the Vice President was made aware of that day’s events before the president was. The now famous photo released shows the particulars of that of that room and its occupants. What that photo does not communicate directly is that the military personnel present in that room during the operation unfolding, deferred to either Hillary Clinton or Robert Gates. The president’s role was minimal, including their acknowledging of his presence in the room.
"What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a program that reported to him –and only him, involving a covert on the ground attack against the compound."
At the conclusion of the mission, after it had been repeatedly confirmed a success, President Obama was once again briefed behind closed doors. The only ones who went in that room besides the president were Bill Daley. John Brennan, and a third individual whose identity remains unknown to me. When leaving this briefing, the president came out of it “…much more confident. Much more certain of himself.” He was also carrying papers in his hand that quite possibly was the address to the nation given later that evening on the Bin Laden mission. The president did not have those papers with him prior to that briefing. The president then returned to the war room, where by this time, Leon Panetta had personally arrived and was receiving congratulations from all who were present.
In my initial communication to you of these events I described what unfolded as a temporary Coup initiated by high ranking intelligence and military officials. I stand by that term. These figures worked around the uncertainty of President Obama and the repeated resistance of Valerie Jarrett. If they had not been willing to do so, I am certain Osama Bin Laden would still be alive today. There will be no punishment to those who acted outside the authority of the president’s office. The president cannot afford to admit such a fact. What will be most interesting from here is to now see what becomes of Valerie Jarrett. One source indicated she is threatening resignation. I find that unlikely given my strong belief she needs the protection afforded her by the Oval Office and its immense powers to delay and eventually terminate investigations back in Chicago, but we shall see.

Wild Thing's comment.........
This explains a few things I was wondering about. My questions I had were the look on obama's face when I saw this photo the first time the other day. He does not look intense like I would expect with a look of concern for it to go well, instead he looked angry to me, very angry. So this news in this post confrims he was angry .
Next we have to note how OBL had a freaking funeral and how obama does not want to offend muslims by showing photos of a dead OBL. He is always more concerned with how muslims will take things, how they are doing etc. then he is about our troops and non Muslims in America or anywhere else.
Add in that obama has not lead anything he is NOT a leader, not as president nor as CIC and all of this was WAY ABOVE HIS PAY GRADE. He is a man that makes threats to get his way, to get his agenda put through, we have seen plenty of that. He could not more of planned or been in on the planning of this operation then a dead rat.
I found this write up very interesting and at the same time not a surprise as we all have seen the character of obama which is one against going after terrorists no matter who they are. The R.O.E. prove that.

More Questions by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
Bin Laden is dead! What a wonderful sound after more than nine years of earnest effort to capture or dispatch him! Naturally, the other side isn’t happy, and that’s understandable, but bin Laden and the “rag headed, jihadist pigs” who follow(ed) him knew it was coming sooner or later. I wrote a number of times that in my opinion bin Laden was killed or died years ago. Now, that opinion has been rendered wrong; so be it, today bin Laden is dead! Patriotic Americans can take pride and solace in the fact that justice has been served.
If Americans could now get confirmation regarding Obama’s birth certificate both those things could be put to bed and America could move on to other issues. There is no more important issue than: that the political election process abide by the Constitution. Many in the media malign those who ask questions about Obama’s eligibility, and that maligning is all but incomprehensible given the repeated grilling to which those same so called “journalists” subjected President Bush.
Why does the media suddenly have no interest in asking hard questions? Why are they “factophobic”? What is difficult about “trust but verify”? And, why malign those who want truthful answers? Would it be that they are Democrat operatives cloaked as journalists; or proverbial wolves in sheep’s clothing? These and many other questions animate those who no longer trust the media and who seek answers to legitimate questions in their quest of the truth. Obama repeatedly promised “the most transparent administration in history,” his continuing resistance to American citizens who seek the facts about him is a non sequitur and establishes him as Deceiver-in-Chief.
Backhanded treatment by the White House and its lackeys in the media diminishes confidence in both, gives rise to and propagates conspiracy theories and when combined with fertilizer spread around abundantly by the Administration, promotes conspiracy growth. The best cure for distrust is to exercise promised transparency. Why is the establishment of authenticity of a piece of paper, or confirmation of Natural Born status important? It is important because confirmation of eligibility is fundamental to legitimate government. It is because truth-seekers have read the Constitution and are concerned about fraud in the offering; that an imposter may well have slicked his way into the highest political office in the land and is doing the nation what amounts to irreparable harm that he effectively promised. Plain enough?
What if it were suddenly revealed and confirmed that Obama is not eligible for the office of President because of unresolved citizenship issues? What would talking heads say then? Would they say, “It doesn’t matter, it’s too late, the election is over?” Would they say, “It’s too hard to do anything about it?” How about removal and jail? Do they believe that Americans can’t handle it? Get serious! Americans handled Bill Clinton, Nixon, Kennedys and other miscreants. Trust Americans, they can handle it.
So, now bin Laden is dead! What a marvelous job by SEALS and CIA operatives; and, may many other jihadist malefactors follow him to hell soon. The solution to the jihadist situation is contained in a vignette from the past. Rather than give bin Laden a “proper Muslim funeral” they should have wrapped him in a blanket soaked in pig’s blood before putting his body out for feral swine to eat. In the alternative they could have cut his head off, put that on a stake on the Washington Mall to dry, then they could have hung his decapitated body soaked in kerosene from the Verrazano Narrows Bridge and set it on fire? Thereafter ask which jihadist would like to go next! How many volunteers do liberals think there would be? PC enough?! I, for one, have had it with Obama kissing their behinds and this Muslim funeral thing is one more episode.
Finally, Americans can sleep well because their Armed Forces and CIA are on duty and awake! Well done! You make us proud and we are grateful.
Semper Fidelis

Obama Caters Again To His Fellow Muslims As He Refuses To Release Photos Of OBL
White House: Osama Pics Not Released Due to Sensitivities "They Might Be Inflammatory"
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters today that the Obama Administration has not released photos of a dead Osama Bin Laden due to “sensitivities.”
“There are sensitivities here in terms of the appropriateness of releasing photos of Osama Bin Laden… because of the sentitivities… Does it serve or harm our interests domestically and locally. It could be inflammatory.”

It is already inflammatory. Everything to Muslims is inflammatory.
This is unbelievable...just unfreakingbelievable.. release, don't release, good for us, bad for us.
This is the same admin who was going to prosecute our C.I.A. agents. Now they are worried about ‘sensitivities’ of their beloved Muslim brothers..
I don't care if muslims are inflamed, the more the better, they are crazed anyway, drive them over the edge and let THEM pay the price of their madness.

Shameless Obama and WH Lies About Waterboarding Leading to Osama's Courier
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney refused to answer a reporters question on whether enhanced interrogation techniques gleaned information that led to the attack on Osama Bin Laden’s compound. Carney said it was a number of sources that led them to Osama’s courier. He also said Obama is still against enhanced interrogation techniques despite the fact that they led to Sunday’s successful mission.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed provided the CIA with the name of bin Laden’s personal courier after waterboarding. The other source for Osama. It was also al-Qaida facilitator Hassan Ghul, a terrorist captured in Iraq, who gave US officials information on the courier’s identity.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (above) provided the CIA with the name of bin Laden’s personal courier. So did Iraqi terrorist Hassan Gul.
.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden are both on record claiming that waterboarding was not effective.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) doubles down….
“The initial information on the courier was obtained from waterboarding in 2003. That came from Khalid Sheik Mohammad… People who were on the ground and very familiar to the situation told me this.”
.
Terror Expert Fred Burton: Waterboarding Led Us to Osama Bin Laden
“It’s my understanding that the intelligence nugget that we first got was based on the courier’s pseudonym which came from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed through enhanced interrogation techniques when he was first located in one of our out of the country prisons… I think it’s very good intelligence information that the original nugget of information surfaced during his first interview at an out of the country facility.” ~ Fred Burton

Obama would love for the citizens of our country to be stupid, when in fact the stupidity lies mostly with his kool-aid drinkers that voted for this POS.
We KNOW waterboarding works and over time we have had proof that it does.

President Bush Declines Invite From Community Organizer BC Challenged Obama To Go To Ground Zero ~ Good For Bush!!!!
President George W. Bush has turned down President Barack Obama’s invitation to join him at ground zero on Thursday, citing his desire to avoid the media glare.
“President Bush appreciated the invite, but has chosen in his post-presidency to remain largely out of the spotlight,” Bush spokesman David Sherzer told POLITICO in an email Tuesday night. “He continues to celebrate with all Americans this important victory in the war on terror.”
Obama — who has sharply criticized Bush for neglecting the hunt for bin Laden by invading Iraq — made the offer to Bush shortly after he decided on his New York trip, according to two people familiar with the situation.

An administration official says President Barack Obama will travel to New York City on Thursday to mark the death of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

Obama Back To His “death to America” Agenda Threatens Veto Of Healthcare Bills
Obama threatens veto of healthcare bills
Obama on Monday threatened to veto legislation that would eliminate grants to help states establish the insurance exchanges created by the healthcare reform law.
"The Administration will strongly oppose legislation that attempts to erode the important provisions of the Affordable Care Act that are making health care more affordable and accessible for all Americans," the Office of Management and Budget said in a policy statement.
"If the President is presented with H.R. 1213, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill," OMB said of the healthcare bill.
The House is scheduled to take up the legislation this week.
The White House also registered its opposition to a separate bill that would cut off funding for school-based health clinics.
The White House also issued a veto threat Monday evening for the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act," saying the bill "unnecessarily restricts women’s reproductive freedoms and consumers’ private insurance options."
None of the bills are expected to reach Obama's desk.
Wild Thing's comment........
Obama threatens veto of healthcare bills? I thought he was killed by the Seals. Oh wait, that was the other one.
Look at this snake Hussein proclaiming ahead of time he will veto.
I have voted GOP all my voting life. The GOP better grow a backbone! They better do it soon!

Osama Bin Laden Killed By Navy Seals in Firefight
Osama Bin Laden Was Killed in Abbottabad – Home of Pakistan Military Academy …Update: His Home Was Across Street From Police Station & Government College
.
Osama Bin Laden Killed By Navy Seals in Firefight
Osama Bin Laden was killed not by a drone strike, but up close during a firefight with U.S. troops. He was not living in a cave when he died, but in a million-dollar mansion with twelve-foot walls less than 100 miles from the Pakistani capital.
The U.S. had been monitoring the compound in Abbottabad for months after receiving a tip in August that Bin Laden might be seeking shelter there. He had long been said to be in the mountainous region along the Afghanistan, Pakistan border, hiding in a cave as the U.S. sought to kill him with drone strikes from above. Instead, he was in a house eight times larger than its neighbors, with walls more than 12 feet tall and valued at $1 million. The house had no phone or television and the residents burned their trash. The house had high windows and few points of access, and U.S. officials concluded it had been built to hide someone.
According to U.S. officials, two U.S. helicopters swept into the compound at 1:30 and 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning. Twenty to 25 U.S. Navy Seals under the command of the Joint Special Operations Command in cooperation with the CIA stormed the compound and engaged Bin Laden and his men in a firefight, killed Bin Laden and all those with him.
Two Bin Laden couriers were killed, as was one of Osama Bin Laden's son, as was a woman reportedly used as a shield by one of the men. Other women and children were present in the compound, according to Pakistani officials, but were not harmed. U.S. officials said that Bin Laden himself did fire his weapon during the fight.
One of the U.S. helicopters was damaged but not destroyed during the operation, and U.S. forces elected to destroy it themselves with explosives.
The Americans took Bin Laden's body into custody after the firefight and confirmed his identity. According to a senior administration official, the U.S. is "ensuring it is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition. It's something we take seriously and therefore it's being handled in an appropriate manner."
In an extraordinary late-night address to the nation, President Barack Obama has announced that U.S. Special Forces conducted an operation today in Pakistan that killed radical Islamic terror-mastermind Osama Bin Laden, and then took possession of his body. Bin Laden was killed in a firefight:

Full statement from President George W. Bush.......
Earlier this evening, President Obama called to inform me that American forces killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al Qaeda network that attacked America on September 11, 2001. I congratulated him and the men and women of our military and intelligence communities who devoted their lives to this mission. They have our everlasting gratitude. This momentous achievement marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done.
.
Americans tonight are united in celebration and gratitude. God bless all the brave men and women in our military and our intelligence services who contributed to carrying out the successful mission to bring bin Laden to justice and who laid the groundwork over the years to make this victory possible. It’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of these brave Americans who relentlessly hunted down our enemy.
This is a victory for the American people, for the victims who were heartlessly murdered on September 11 and in Al Qaeda’s other numerous attacks, and for all the peace-loving people of the world.
May God bless our troops and our intelligence services, and God bless America!

No Class -- Obama Snubs Bush, Praises Himself on bin Laden Takedown
No Class -- Obama Snubs Bush, Praises Himself on bin Laden Takedown
From the tone of President Obama's speech tonight you would think that he was the one who came up with the idea that the United States should hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden. He also made it sound like he was the one formulated the takedown plan. We can look forward in coming days to details of the actual operation, emphasizing Mr. Obama's intimate involvement.
"Shortly after taking office," he said, "I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the capture or death of Osama Bin Laden the highest priority of the war on terror." But of course this had been a high priority since shortly after September 11, 2001. "I want justice," President George W. Bush said on September 17. "And there's an old poster out West… I recall, that said, 'Wanted, Dead or Alive.'"
The only mention of Mr. Bush came when Mr. Obama mentioned that even he had said the U.S. is not at war with Islam. But without Mr. Bush's leadership and setting the groundwork for the conduct of the war on terrorism, Mr. Obama would never have had the tools to get this job done. The national unity, sense of purpose and offensive posture was largely the result of Mr. Bush's decisive action and strong leadership following that national tragedy. Had Mr. Obama been in Mr. Bush's position on September 11, 2001, Osama bin Laden would still be alive today, and probably winning.

Text of President Obama's remarks on the death of Osama bin Laden ~ Just click to read it. It is sickening IMO with all his arrogance. ~ Wild Thing
Obama's statement contained 74 sentences. In 24 out of 74 sentences, he said "I", "me" or "my."
To Obama this is not about the military, or even the CIA, which were mentioned in just 4 of the sentences. It's about BHO, and BHO alone. Congratulations, BHO, here are a few things for which you took credit in the 74 sentences:
"I directed Leon Panetta... to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority..."
"I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden."
"I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan."
"I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice."
"I’ve made clear..."
"I’ve repeatedly made clear..."
"I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken..."
"These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief, have to..."

It is hard to imagine someone this disgusting, but we have proof it exists and he is in our WH.
In his speech one could feel how he even hated that he had to mention our troops. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Years of Deceit: United States Openly Admits Bin Laden Long Dead
Bin laden never mentioned in McChrystal report or Obama speech
April 15, 2011.....NOTE the Date ~ Wild Thing
Conservative commentator, Marine Colonel Bob Pappas (Retired) has been saying for years that bin Laden died at Tora Bora and that Senator Kerry’s claim that bin Laden escaped with Bush help was a lie. Now we know that Pappas was correct. The embarrassment of having Secretary of State Clinton talk about bin Laden in Pakistan was horrific. He has been dead since December 13, 2001..
In 66 pages, General Stanley McChrystal never mentions Osama bin Laden. Everything is “Mullah Omar” now. In his talk at West Point, President Obama never mentioned Osama bin Laden. Col. Pappas makes it clear, Vice President Cheney let it “out of the bag” long ago. Bin Laden was killed by American troops many, many years ago.

CBS claimed he was killed video from 2009.

This photo is what they are posting now to be osama bin laden, but it was also used a couple of years ago when Bin laden was supposed to be dead back then as well.

Updated, 3:12 a.m. ET]A U.S. official said that Osama bin Laden has been buried at sea. The official said his body was handled in the Islamic tradition, but did not elaborate.
[Updated, 2:31 a.m. ET U.S. officials said they used facial imaging and other methods to identify the body of Osama bin Laden.
One official said it was clear to the assault force that the body matched bin Laden's description, but they used "facial recognition work, amongst other things, to confirm the identity."
A senior national security official said that they had multiple confirmations that the body was bin Laden, saying they had the "ability to run images of the body and the face."
The national security official would not confirm if DNA testing was performed.

Reports: Bin Laden killed a week ago today by US missile /CIA asset/Pakistani ground operation, confirmed tonight, body is ours, Obama announces “JUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE;” Osama allegedly swims with the fishes
News breaking all over the place tonight that Osama bin Laden was killed and that his body is in US possession.
Latest reports via Fox News live right now are that he was killed over a week ago by a US missile. There are conflicting reports on whether he was killed in Afghanistan (CBS) or Pakistan (CNN). CNN reporting that it was a “CIA asset” (read: human ground operation?) that killed bin Laden. [11:24pm Eastern update - Pakistani government tells Fox News that bin Laden was killed in Pakistan...TODAY...more: one of bin Laden's sons also killed, along with two male couriers and a female human shield]
3:17am Eastern…Cable news and Twitter on fire with reports that Osama was buried at sea already. Yes, he’s allegedly swimming with the fishes already. Official word is that burial at sea will prevent his grave from being a pilgrimage site.
Meanwhile, DNA tests won’t be back for another few days.
How many of you reacted with a big “WTH?”

Report: Bin Laden Already Dead
Wednesday, December 26, 2001....Notice the date ~ Wild Thing
Usama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported, citing a Taliban leader who allegedly attended the funeral of the Al Qaeda leader.
"The Coalition troops are engaged in a mad search operation but they would never be able to fulfill their cherished goal of getting Usama alive or dead," the source said.
Bin Laden, according to the source, was suffering from a serious lung complication and succumbed to the disease in mid-December, in the vicinity of the Tora Bora mountains. The source claimed that bin Laden was laid to rest honorably in his last abode and his grave was made as per his Wahabi belief.
About 30 close associates of bin Laden in Al Qaeda, including his most trusted and personal bodyguards, his family members and some "Taliban friends," attended the funeral rites. A volley of bullets was also fired to pay final tribute to the "great leader."
The Taliban source who claims to have seen bin Laden's face before burial said "he looked pale ... but calm, relaxed and confident."
Asked whether bin Laden had any feelings of remorse before death, the source vehemently said "no." Instead, he said, bin Laden was proud that he succeeded in his mission of igniting awareness amongst Muslims about hegemonistic designs and conspiracies of "pagans" against Islam. Bin Laden, he said, held the view that the sacrifice of a few hundred people in Afghanistan was nothing, as those who laid their lives in creating an atmosphere of resistance will be adequately rewarded by Almighty Allah.
When asked where bin Laden was buried, the source said, "I am sure that like other places in Tora Bora, that particular place too must have vanished."

I don't get it,if this is true what would be the reason. This is very confusing!
What is going on and what are they trying to pull??? Bin Laden Buried at sea 1 1/2 hours after Americans are told he is killed??? NO BODY???
Why bury the body at sea, so soon? who cares about their religious customs!! Also why was blackhawk helicopter that supposedly was part of the mission blown up by navy seals to destroy evidence it was there?
Also why destroy the compound by fire? Why would they destroy all that evidence in there if this was really Osama Bin Laden? Why is the press so eager to push and spin this without asking more questions. If it is indeed Bin Laden, then we should all celebrate .
And just one more thing......how many lives does Osama bin laden have?????

Soros's President, Barack Hussein Obama at the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner ~ Obama Attacks Trump, FOX News and Rep. Paul Ryan
Obama jokes about birth certificate
added source
Obama's birth certificate took center stage during his appearance Saturday night at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington.
He was introduced with the song "Real American" with shots of the certificate cut into a South Park-style montage, Politico reported. The president also said he really wanted to put the issue of his birth to rest -- and showed a brief clip from the Disney cartoon "The Lion King."
Obama also took aim at Donald Trump, who has become of the country's best-known "birthers" in the past few weeks and a possible Republican candidate for president next year.
"Now, I know that he's taken some flak lately, but no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than The Donald," Obama said. "And that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like, 'Did we fake the moon landing?' 'What really happened on Roswell?' And 'Where are Biggie and Tupac?'"
Obama also took aim at Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., saying he missed the dinner because his proposed budget has "no room for laughter." And he dismissed actor Matt Damon's criticisms of his job performance by remarking he has seen "The Adjustment Bureau."
The president also showed a clip of bloopers by Vice President Joe Biden, saying that when his teleprompter malfunctioned he turned for help "to a man who never lets prepared remarks stand in his way."
With Trump in attendance, Obama said the billionaire businessman has shown the acumen of a future president, from firing Gary Busey on a recent episode of "Celebrity Apprentice" to focusing so much time on conspiracy theories about Obama's birthplace. He added that the the billionaire businessman could bring change to the White House, transforming it from a stately mansion into a tacky casino with a whirlpool in the garden.
For Trump's decision to fire actor Busey instead of rock singer Meat Loaf from his TV show earlier this month, Obama quipped: "These are the types of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir."
And then, as a coup de grace, Obama showed a screen with his vision of how Trump could bring change to the White House. "Trump" was prominently displayed in glittery letters and girls could be seen with cocktails on a Jacuzzi-augmented front lawn.
Trump chuckled at some of the earlier jokes, but was clearly less amused as comedian Seth Meyers picked up where Obama left off.
"Donald Trump often talks about running as a Republican, which is surprising," said the Saturday Night Live actor, entrusted with providing some of the comedy for the evening. "I just assumed he was running as a joke."
Trump stared icily at Meyers as he continued to criticize the real estate tycoon.
Obama's presentation started after the wrestler Hulk Hogan's patriotic anthem, "Real American," played. Images of Americana from Mount Rushmore to Uncle Sam were shown on the screen, alongside his birth certificate. And then he offered to show his live birth video, which turned out to be a clip from the Disney film, "The Lion King."

Mitt Romney : "... we're going to have to hang the Obama Misery Index around his neck"
ROMNEY: "Ronald Reagan came up with this great thing about the Misery Index? And he hung that around Jimmy Carter's neck and that had a lot to do with Jimmy Carter losing. Well we're going to have to hang the Obama Misery Index around his neck.
And I'll tell you, the fact that you've got people in this country really squeezed with gasoline getting so expensive, with commodities getting so expensive, families are having a hard time making ends meet. So we're going to have to do talk about that, and housing foreclosures and bankruptcies and and hire taxation. We're going to hang him with that so to speak, metaphorically, with, uh, you have to be careful"
MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney stumbled into controversial territory Friday night at a forum for potential presidential candidates here, suggesting that Republicans “hang” President Obama with a so-called “Misery Index.”
Romney, an all-but-declared presidential contender, was answering a question at an Americans For Prosperity event about what he would do to curb rising gas prices when he suddenly found his way into -- and then quickly out of -- the verbal gaffe.
“We’re going to hang the Obama Misery Index around his neck,” Romney told a crowd of conservative activists, before saying: “We’re going to hang him with that, so to speak.”
Apparently realizing his choice of words, Romney paused, and added “metaphorically.”
“You have to be careful these days,” he said.Romney's reference to the “Misery Index,” was, as he acknowledged, a throwback to a term that then-presidential candidate Ronald Reagan used to describe public discontent about economic conditions during debates with incumbent President Jimmy Carter during the 1980 election.
"It is not what the governor meant and that was very clear in what he actually said," Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul told ABC News

Silly? Who's Silly? by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
Thank you Trump for bringing enough pressure to bear that it cracked the “most transparent administration in history’s” stone wall of secrecy. Hopefully, after verification of the Certificate of Live Birth, the birth component of the issue will be over. What won’t be over is a clear delineation and definition of what constitutes “Natural Born.” Most assume it is birth in the United States; maybe, maybe not. It depends. More on that later.
Following Obama’s release of his long form birth certificate he held a news conference at which he whined about being distracted by the “silly” issue, over which he, and he alone had total control from the outset. Instead, he chose to go the its-none-of-their-business, arrogant route creating in the process a vast body of conjecture, which, given numerous inquiries into the matter, now gives rise to additional questions because of the belated release. Then there’s the question, “Why April 27th?” The answer is self-evident. But, perhaps no one noticed that he is in the campaign mode with a scheduled visit to Oprah, and three back to back fundraisers.
Obama told us: "We don't have time for this silliness,” and serious Americans agree; he told us: “We’ve got better stuff to do,” and serious Americans agree; he told us: “I’ve got better stuff to do,” and serious Americans agree; he told us: “We’ve got big problems to solve,” and serious Americans agree; he told us: “and I’m confident we can solve them,” and serious Americans agree. Then he told us: “but we’re going to have to focus on them, not on this,” shortly before he embarked on Air Force One for the flight to Chicago and an appearance on Oprah’s show where he proceeded to joke about it for the lemmings in the audience. Then, not long afterward Obama and his entourage flew to New York for back-to-back fundraisers.
But didn’t he just say? “We don't have time for this silliness. We’ve got better stuff to do. I’ve got better stuff to do. We’ve got big problems to solve, and I’m confident we can solve them, but we’re going to have to focus on them, not on this.”
Rational, thinking people among other things conclude the following:
1. Obama was blathering because he immediately embarked on the very silliness he had just maligned, with Oprah in Chicago; followed by three self-serving “silly little” fundraising events in New York;
2. He was teasing ardent dupes with “birther meat” to drain as much “silly” money as possible from them;
3. He was diverting attention from the fact that he was finally forced to show the “silly little” birth certificate;
4. He was being his normal duplicitous, deceptive, deceitful, dishonest, two faced, tricky, “silly” self; or,
5. All of the above.
Hope and Change? More like “silly” Chicago style politics.
Semper Fidelis

Who’s Distracting Who---And Why?
by Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
Thank God! We have suddenly been shown what is claimed by the White House and liberal media to be the authentic birth certificate of Barrack Obama. Even Shepard Smith of FOX was orgasmic as he began his newscast that day. The shallow-minded with LMD will say “I told you so”, but a reasonable person will ask why it took almost three years for this to occur.
Donald Trump, in spite of the numerous free passes given to Obama by the liberal media, the courts and the Democrat-dominated Congress, proved that he alone ‘has standing’! He is correct that once the certificate is verified as authentic, he alone can then move on to Mr. Obama’s other self-created distractions and perhaps clarify for the brain-dead how this man thinks and why his presidency has brought about national disgrace and monumental governmental failure. Americans deserve no less from a president.
Obama, despite concerns expressed by conservative media outlets but ignored by the lamestreet media during the campaign regarding twenty years of “mentoring” (his words, not mine) by the racist Reverend Jeremiah Wright, chose to attend a church on Easter Sunday not to listen to a Christian message but to another racist rant by a black nationalist ‘reverend’ similar to Wright. Today I received an interesting list of quotes from the two books which Mr. Obama purportedly authored (though some claim that former Weather Underground bomber and self-avowed Marxist Bill Ayers actually penned one of them).
Every one of the dozen or so quotations from his books confirm his pathologic obsession with racial victimization and his disdain for the white race as well as America’s traditional values. Black nationalism, or black liberal ‘theology’, preaches that redistribution of wealth is but one never ending reparation by whites to blacks not only for past racism but for the delusional perception that such racism continues unabated until there is some dominance of the black race over all others.
This writer agrees with famous black comedian Bill Cosby when he notes the failure of the black race as a whole (there are plenty of individual exceptions!) to achieve economic ‘equality’ some fifty years after the civil rights laws were passed, and in spite of affirmative action which confer advantaged treatment of minority groups over everyone else, is due to epidemic failure of their family unit (the fatherless family where mom works to support her children and so on) and consequent loss of values that unit normally confers to our youth (self-sufficiency and respect for others).
Black nationalism is racist, spiteful and destructive, even of those it purports to defend. Its believers preach socialism to accomplish everlasting redistribution of wealth from guiltless hardworking and self-sufficient Americans. This false ‘theology’ should be marginalized by society and our government just as white supremacy organizations has been.
It is obvious that Obama’s attorney general Eric Holder embraced black nationalism when he ordered dismissal of voter intimidation charges against the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia. Had a white supremacy group placed punks with billyclubs at a polling site, you can be sure that Holder and the lamestreet media would have crucified them.
With the birth certificate issue possibly (assuming that it is shown not to be fraudulent when analyzed by experts) out of the way, I hope Trump will move quickly to Obama’s other distractions which I suspect would confirm what patriots already know---that he is not only the most unqualified and inexperienced president in American history but also anti-American (or un American as Greta Van Susteren says as she tries to water down the destructive personality of Mr. Obama in front of Sarah Palin).
The key point of all this discussion is that we are in deep trouble on multiple fronts and facing the real possibility that our children will not inherit a constitutional republic form of government and the liberties which it protects. America appears as a rudderless ship floating towards an iceberg commanded by the Obama administration while much of Congress, our Courts and the race baiting leftwing media shamefully look the other way.
I must conclude with a message for judges nationwide:
Do not tell me or any other American that we “do not have standing” to request credentials of one who holds the highest office in the Land. It is our right!

Trump had said he was gonig to have his investigators look into this and see if it was for real or not. Then he added he would talk about it in about 3 weeks. I hope he keeps his word.
Good write up by Dr. Bates.
