BARACK OBAMA: A MAN FOR THE AGES!

Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez

Ann Coulter  "Everyone says President Obama is a feckless commander, weak in statecraft, especially compared to the great leaders of the Western world, such as Reagan and Churchill. 

"I believe this does Obama a great injustice. It's so easy to react the way a great leader would. Sure, Obama could have left a small contingent of American troops in Iraq, preserved America's victory, and prevented the entire region from collapsing into chaos and terror. He could have refrained from issuing empty "red line" threats to Syria. He could call ISIS "Islamic." But anybody could do that -- even ISIS calls itself "Islamic." (Note for scholars: That's what the first "I" stands for.) 

"These are the obvious answers. Obama could do it, too. But let me hasten to add: Those guys -- unlike Obama -- never won a Nobel Peace Prize. The genius of Obama is that he takes a much more nuanced view of the world. 

"Rather than lament that Reagan, Churchill and other great men aren't our leaders in this increasingly dangerous world, we should really be lamenting that Obama wasn't in charge in their day. " . . .Read the full article

Let us not sell Chamberlain too short. In the end, and too late for millions, he saw the true nature  of his enemy and it was he who declared war on Germany after Hitler ignored the red line set by the British. However the judgement passed on him by Winston Churchill was biting and immortal:
 “You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war.”

Iran Declares Pre-emptive Victory in Nuke Talks

Political Cartoons by Nate Beeler

Washington Free Beacon  "Iran’s foreign minister and chief negotiator in nuclear talks with the West declared victory for his country, stating that no matter how the negotiations end, Tehran has come out “the winner,” according to remarks made on Tuesday and presented in the country’s state-run press.
"Javad Zarif, the Islamic Republic’s foreign minister, stated in remarks before the country’s powerful Assembly of Experts, which recently installed a hardline new cleric as its leader, that the nuclear negotiations have established Tehran as a global power broker." .

How the Obama-Sharpton Alliance Began

NRO

"Near the end of 2007, Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett met with Al Sharpton in New York City and began to cement a relationship that would eventually make the inflammatory activist the president’s “go-to man” on race, according to multiple sources.

"The backdrop to the incipient Obama-Sharpton alliance was the then-senator’s 2008 presidential campaign, which still hadn’t locked away the black vote, and the political cross-currents created by two other controversial reverends, Jesse Jackson and Jeremiah Wright.

"That tentative relationship has now grown into a full-blown partnership that has vastly increased the once-shunned Sharpton’s influence and prestige and elevated him into a key White House ally at a time of heightened tension over policing and race." . . .

Teachers fear for their lives because of administration's hands-off-blacks guidelines

M Catharine Evans . . . "While POTUS’s own daughters attend a prestigious majority-white school where deportment and discipline prevail, Obama and his attorney general make sure teachers and principals in inner-city, predominantly black schools are held hostage by impulsive, lawless, and fatherless thugs.


"MLK Middle School is a disgrace – a “stain” on Obama and his progressive  ilk..
On the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, the president  lectured us “to open our eyes, and ears, and hearts, to know that this nation’s racial history still casts its long shadow upon us.”  Young people marched “for the protection of the law,” he said, and today “we can address unfair sentencing and stunted circumstances that rob too many boys of the chance to become men.”

"Obama needs to open his own eyes and ears to the long shadow of violence he and Eric Holder are casting over the nation’s black schoolchildren.  The nation’s top law enforcement official and his boss issued recommendations last year that encourage local, state, and federal education personnel to give black students a pass no matter how much they act out and make life a living hell in the classroom."


Don't worry; the Democrats and their president have American interests in mind

Obama In Denial

The Pentagon warned Friday if Iranian troops leading Iraqi troops in Iraq defeat ISIS, Iran will control Iraq. So now root for either the Iranians or ISIS. Perhaps the Obama Administration shouldn't spend so much time denouncing Missouri cops because now it appears they could really use one in Iraq. Comedian Argus Hamilton
US and Israeli intelligence at sharp odds on Iran’s breakout time to a bomb  . . ."The Americans say that Iran would need one year between a decision to go from nuclear threshold to nuclear bomb – enough time for preventive action – while the Israelis say the time is much shorter - six months at most. President Barack Obama and US Secretary of State John Kerry, who leads the negotiations with Tehran, insist that America intelligence would detect an Iranian decision to go forward in time to step in and pre-empt it."

What do we make of this article? Obama’s Iranian-nuclear strategy brings dividend: Rev Guards lead military assault on Tikrit  . . . "Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, revealed some of the Obama administration’s thinking on the subject.
He said Iran and its allies (Iraqi Shiite militias) had taken part in the Iraq war ever since 2004. “But the Tikrit campaign signals a new level of involvement,” he said. “This is the most overt conduct of Iranian support in the form of artillery and other things” and “…could turn out to be a positive thing.”

"These comments corroborated DEBKAfile’s disclosures on the US-led war on ISIS, which defined America as confining itself to air strikes over Iraq and Syria and assigning the brunt of the ground war to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards forces – a division of labor, which Israeli military chiefs watch with increasing concern as it brings the Iranian peril closer than ever to Israel, DEBKAfile’s military sources report."

Shameless




HillaryVictor Davis Hanson . . . "Her final message? It’s over; get over it; and the messages are destroyed even if you had wanted to have determined that I lied about the private/public divide. What are you going to do—hound the likely next president of the United States?  

"What’s next? We are back to 1998–99 where the law does not apply to the Clintons; and if it did, it pales in importance to their progressive efforts on our behalf; and if you doubt it, there are plenty of hirelings who can make  life miserable for you right-wing conspiracists and disbelievers."
