Reading list on the Obama Administration

 FRED BARNES; Why Obama Is Still Ahead  The economy alone won’t win the election for Romney.
"Swing voters and independents don’t believe Obama deserves reelection, Luntz says, but Romney “hasn’t made the case for himself.” There’s “no ‘not Obama’ lever. They’ll have to pull the Romney lever. At this point, they aren’t willing to do that. He hasn’t given them a reason why.” Were the election solely about Obama’s record, he wouldn’t need to."

WHY BARACK OBAMA SHOULD RESIGN  "Just for the record, this is what it looked like for a man who made a film that made the Obama Administration uncomfortable:"
....By sending — literally — brownshirted enforcers to engage in — literally — a midnight knock at the door of a man for the non-crime of embarrassing the President of the United States and his administration, President Obama violated that oath. .... It is a betrayal of his duties as President, and a disgrace.

The things that REALLY anger our president  "Obama is not outraged.  If anything, he seems irritated that these people would interrupt what is, for him, the more important business of running a campaign."...."Obama is as capable of anger as anyone else.  It’s just that murderous attacks on sovereign American soil aren’t what get his blood boiling. Other things do, though."....Obama gets mad when things don’t go his way:"

Propaganda Update: TV Networks Will Be Asked to Boost ObamaCare In Plots of Their Top Shows  "The exchange will also seek to have prime-time television shows, like “Modern Family,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and Univision telenovelas, weave the health care law into their plots."
As we have seen in Law and Order" episodes among others, they will not hesitate to attack conservatives by name.

Just WHO are the people that give Obama high marks for foreign policy?

Who Needs Enemies?  "U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, stated “We’re watching very carefully to see what they do because it has always been more about their actions than their words.”
"Comments such as that prompted Netanyahu to ask, “How long must we wait?” How long indeed? And for what action would Clinton and the administration wait? For Iran to realize nuclear capability and take military action against Israel?"

Daily Kos published this in 2008 after Obama was elected:  "We will know there has been a sea change in American attitudes when we see the first US defendent(sp) charged with torture or war crimes before the International Court of Justice.  I will not be holding my breath.  Obama saw what happened to Carter when he appeared weak on the world stage." 

White House Fails at Home and Abroad  "Why are Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the White House obsessed with apologizing for an amateur video that no-one had heard of, seen
 or cared about?  Why are they so obsessed with singing the praises of “a great religion” who’s leaders are the world’s leading proponent for mob violence and mass murder?"

Shawarma Mayor; Obama succeeded in his agenda: Burning embassies, dead ambassador to Libya

From The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs; General Dempsey's Remarks Should Not Come as a Surprise  "Sanctions are important but only with absolute isolationism and a very credible military capability. If we stood firm, they may have blinked. Instead, we blinked and now they have very little reason to modify their plans."

Charles Krauthammer: American Power Receding: Obama Brought Our Irrelevance
"When you withdraw the power and the influence of the strongest country on earth from a region, the vacuum will be filled. The Salafists, the Islamists understand this is their opening. No one asks what the US thinks about Syria, they are focused on Russian and what Russia thinks and is doing about Syria. The US is irrelevant."

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Calls On Muslims Worldwide to Unite Against United States and 'The Evil Zionists' Behind Controversial Muhammed Video

"Hey, the Obama administration's appeasement policies are bearing fruit."

 Lux Libertas; Romney Gets It Right: It Was ‘Disgraceful’ "...in the days following the embassy attack, Secretary Clinton has described a stupid internet movie about Muhammad as “disgusting.”  Interestingly, Romney, along with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, used that same word, “disgusting” — to describe Ambassador Stevens’ murder.  This simple juxtaposition illustrates the difference between those who look at the world and see reality, and those who look at the world in desperate search of vindication for their irrational theories of moral equivalency and systemic injustice.  Those theories, if allowed to stand, will destroy Western civilization — assuming they haven’t already done so.

Barack Obama is sanctioning the motive behind the murderous Muslim riots by trying to silence the Muhammad filmmakers.

"You cannot ask me to sacrifice my freedom so as not to offend savages" 

From Regiment to President: The Structure and Command of Civil War Armies

National Park Service  via the Civil War Sesquicentennial network
"Trying to determine the structure and command of a Civil War army can be a daunting task. It is easy to confuse which designation is which and to discern which rank commands which entity. Battlefield promotions and deviations between different armies further muddy the waters. It isn't immediately clear what it means when you read that Major General A.P. Hill commanded a division in the Army of Northern Virginia while John Gibbon commanded a brigade in Major General Joseph Hooker's I Corps of the Army of the Potomac. In an effort to provide a bit of clarity into such matters, what follows traces the command structure from the colonel leading a regiment all the way to the office of the President as Commander in Chief."
Maryland Campaign Commemoration Events

Mr. Lincoln's Army by Bruce Catton; the book that made me a Civil War buff when I read it back in high school. Part of a trilogy that traces the history of  the Army of the Potomac from General McClelland's creation and molding of the army on through Lee's surrender at Appomattox.

Beautifully written in Mr. Catton's unique style, the book covers the time from the inept Peninsula Campaign through Second Manassas on through the battle at Antietam (called Sharpsburg in the South), which led to the Emancipation Proclamation.
