Weasel of the Week

Nice Deb   "Yes, once again, It’s time to present this week’s statuette of shame, The Golden Weasel!!

Every Tuesday, the Council nominates some of the slimiest, most despicable characters in public life for some deed of evil, cowardice or corruption they’ve performed. Then we vote to single out one particular Weasel for special mention, to whom we award the statuette of shame, our special, 100% plastic Golden Weasel. This week’s nominees were particularly slimy and despicable, but the votes are in and we have our winner…the envelope please.."

"Barack Obama’s ‘Spiritual Mentor,’ Anti-Semite And America Hater Jeremiah Wright!"

 "Bookworm Room :I think this week’s weasel award should go to Jeremiah Wright, for his jeremiad claiming that Jesus was a Palestinian and his announcement that Jews are “Europeans” who “took” the Palestinians’ country. He also called Israel, the only democratic, pluralist society in the Middle East, an “apartheid” society. The man is a vile combination of historic ignorance and antisemitic bile. What makes his advanced weasel-ness so awful is the knowledge that our president was steeped in this stew of stupidity and hate for twenty years. "

"And second, the elementary fact that there was no such thing as a ‘Palestinian’ when Jesus died..the Romans didn’t even call it that until well after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. And Islam didn’t even exist until the late 6th century!"

Again, Obama sends troops to die for a cause he does not believe in (Commentary)

Here I see the influence of Bill Ayres and Rev. Wright on our strategic decisions. TD

Krauthammer’s Take: History Will Judge Obama ‘Very Severely’ on Afghanistan
"History will judge President Obama “very severely” for sending soldiers to war in Afghanistan despite not believing in the mission himself, Charles Krauthammer said tonight on Special Report."

Obama ignores the advice of his generals for the 6th straight time
Somehow as commander-in-chief he feels splitting the difference is always the wisest move.
. . . "Mr. McCain said Thursday “it makes no military sense to withdraw U.S. forces” below the current 9,800.
“ 'Once again, President Obama is putting our mission in Afghanistan, as well as our men and women serving there, at greater risk, and he is doing so for the sake of a troop reduction that has no political benefit but could have significant military implications,” he said."

Gates: Obama’s Distrust of Military ‘Particularly True In Afghanistan’ (Video)
. . . "Gates after discussing his doubts that President Obama believed in the mission in Afghanistan, and micromanaging of the military by the Obama administration was asked about the president’s suspicion of the military. He stated, “I think this was particularly true in Afghanistan, and I think there were people in the White House, and I don’t want to name any names, who were constantly goading him and saying the military is trying to box you in. the military is trying to trap you. the military is trying to bully you. The military is trying to make you do something you don’t want to do.”

"When asked if Vice President Joe Biden was one of these people, Gates answered, “I think so. " . . .

In Afghanistan, Obama Starts to Face Reality

. . . "Kunduz may be tucked into the northwest corner of Afghanistan, but its temporary loss demonstrates the potential domino effect of battlefield reverses. Defeat in Kunduz sent political shudders through Kabul, raising the prospect of losses in outlying areas and leading to a collapse in the center that would open the way for a Taliban takeover." . . .

Krauthammer: Game over

"Hillary Clinton enjoyed a winning night at the Democratic Party presidential debate Tuesday at the Wynn Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. She had more important things on her mind than the issues. For one thing, during the entire two-hour debate, Bill was unsupervised and in Las Vegas." Comedian Argus Hamilton

Charles Krauthammer  "I repeat: Unless she’s indicted, Hillary Clinton will win the Democratic nomination. I wrote that six weeks ago, amid fevered dreams of a Clinton collapse and a Joe Biden rescue. That those were a mirage is all the more obvious after Tuesday’s debate. The reason, then as now, is simple: Clinton has no competition.

"She’s up against three ciphers and one endearing, gesticulating, slightly unmoored old man. If Biden was ever thinking of getting into the race, he’d be crazy to do so now. It’s over." . . .
