Obama grasps for climate legacy as second-term agenda crumbles

The Hill  "President Obama has a chance to craft a second-term legacy on climate change even as the rest of his agenda runs aground in Congress.
Gun control legislation is dead; immigration reform is on life support; and reaching a fiscal deal with Republicans appears to be a long shot.
"To make matters worse, what was supposed to be his signature first-term achievement — ObamaCare — is suffering from a disastrous rollout.
"But there’s one thing that’s going right for Obama: Executive action on climate change is moving full-speed ahead at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)."

Alan Caruba: Obama's Executive Order on Climate

 

"In general, Congress has refused to take up most of Obama’s “climate change” agenda, especially his wish for a carbon tax. So it comes as no surprise that he has issued an executive order on November 1^st allegedly to get states and local communities to prepare for “the impact of global warming.”

Obama’s Massive Fraud; If he were a CEO in the private sector, he’d be prosecuted for such deception.

Andrew C. McCarthy  ... "Justice Department guidelines, set forth in the U.S. Attorneys Manual, recommend prosecution for fraud in situations involving

“any scheme which in its nature is directed to defrauding a class of persons, or the general public, with a substantial pattern of conduct.” So, for example, if a schemer were intentionally to deceive all Americans, or a class of Americans (e.g., people who had health insurance purchased on the individual market), by repeating numerous times — over the airwaves, in mailings, and in electronic announcements — an assertion the schemer knew to be false and misleading, that would constitute an actionable fraud — particularly if the statements induced the victims to take action to their detriment, or lulled the victims into a false sense of security.

"For a fraud prosecution to be valid, the fraudulent scheme need not have been successful. Nor is there any requirement that the schemer enrich himself personally. The prosecution must simply prove that some harm to the victim was contemplated by the schemer. If the victim actually was harmed, that is usually the best evidence that harm was what the schemer intended."...

Reading list: Obama's backstabbing of our allies by siding with those who would murder us and Israel by the millions.

This makes one recall what the allies did to a friendly Czechoslovakia in 1938. And if, as a result of all this, Obama turns the US military on Israel, we will have become the Vichy of this century.

NY Times: West and Iran Seen as Nearing a Nuclear Deal  "But even as the two sides tried to finalize the agreement on Thursday, fissures have widened between the United States and some of its principal allies over the potential pact, which has been hailed by the Obama administration as a possible breakthrough in the standoff over Iran’s nuclear aspirations but dismissed by critics as a temporizing measure that would leave the core of Tehran’s atomic program intact."

DEBKAfile: Israel accuses US of deceit on nuclear deal with Iran. Geneva signing drags out as Iran ups its price -   ..."While Obama and Kerry have admitted only to lifting “a few minor reversible sanctions” and “modest’ sanctions relief as part of the deal, Israel discovered a far more generous package of concessions was on offer. The Europeans would lead the way in easing sanctions to allow Washington to show clean hands – especially to Congress."
"By Friday, the Iranians understood that the Obama administration was so hell-bent on signing the first ever international accord on their nuclear program, that they could afford without much risk to up the price for their signature and extort more last-minute concessions.".... Emphasis added

Iran Starts Producing New Missile System  " 'This solid-fuel missile system is able to destroy different kinds of cruise missiles, bombers, drones and helicopters," he added."

Crisis Brewing in Israeli-US Relations   "A pair of testy public exchanges this week appear to have undone whatever good will was created between the Israeli and U.S. governments during a high-profile visit by President Barack Obama early this year."

Jewish World Review: Obama vowed to prevent a nuclear Iran; Iran promised to show who's boss
"Guess who is about to win"
  "Those words may soon become reality. The United States and its major European partners, along with Russia and China, appear prepared to accept the Iranian position and offer some relief from harsh economic sanctions in return."

Daniel Pipes: Obama Turns on Israel   ..."I wrote before the last presidential election that "Israel's troubles will really begin" should Obama win second term. At Obama's second inauguration, I predicted that he, "freed from re-election constraints, can finally express his early anti-Zionist views after a decade of political positioning. Watch for a markedly worse tone from the second Obama administration toward the third Netanyahu government."
"That moment is now upon us."

Washington Times: Obama has ‘head handed to him’ in secret Iran sanction deal amid nuclear talks  "And the second, he said: The White House has opposed new sanction recommendations against Iran that have come out of Congress.
"But the quiet dealing may have backfired for Mr. Obama.
"Mr. Dubowitz said Iran has been selling significant amounts of oil on the black market, profiting big from illegal revenues."    Via Lucianne

Ultra-Tolerant Libs Take Outrage to Twitter Over ObamaCare Parody at 2013 CMAs

What about the leftist propaganda that is inflicted on us nightly, hour-by-hour on  television in virtually every show we watch? How about the anti-conservative attacks that was a regular feature on "Law and Order"? Are the constant personal attacks on Sarah Palin and other conservatives by  Letterman and Maher, et al. bothersome to the conscience of the left?  Who remembers the visceral attack on President Bush by Russell Brand back in 2008? 

Yet the left is furious at this bit of fun we had at the CMA?

I posit that you liberals are not that upset at what was delivered to you; that this snit is all a coordinated strategy of yours to make life "toxic" for anyone who expresses conservative ideas. I plead with the right not to be intimidated by this demagoguery.

Liberals, you have dished it out in heaps, so now it is good that you should have to take just a little bit.   The Tunnel Dweller

IJReview  "If it’s one thing leftists hate, it’s to be mocked. You see, that’s their job – to mock anyone who disagrees with their political agenda. Take Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood’s light-hearted ribbing of ObamaCare at the 2013 CMAs as exhibit A.
"Check out this online temper tantrum on Twitter, some of them via Twitchy (of course, there are vile epithets, so they’re Not Safe for Work).
"This Twitter poster is “open-minded,” but not about her politics."
