Obama Tells 'His Press Corps' To 'Behave' / The liberal media are realizing the price of Obama adulation

IJReview.com 

"It’s good to be king. Even when you’re visiting a foreign country. In South Africa, Saturday, Barack  Obama admonished “my press” to “behave” – after they had the audacity to ask too many questions.

" “Americans, behave yourselves,” he said, during a joint press conference with South African President Jacob Zuma, as reported by breitbart.com. Obama complained – as he has in the past – that “my press” tries to squeeze “three or four or five questions in there,” while complimenting Zuma on his more obedient media.

"The Associated Press noted that “both U.S. and South African reporters asked multi-part questions,” while confirming Obama’s description of U.S. journalists as “his press corps.” "  Hat tip to Rich Cutter Avalone

HANSON: The press and its Faustian deal   "In the old Dr. Faustus story, a young scholar bargains away his soul to the devil for promises of obtaining almost anything he wants.
"The American media has done much the same thing with the Obama administration. In return for empowering a fellow liberal, the press gave up its traditional adversarial relationship with the president."   Read more.

"As she rambles on incoherently about the values of Obama Care, it seems obvious that it was a good idea she advised people not to read it before passing it."

"No peace, no honor": US may pull all troops out of Afghanistan next year

No more French surrender jokes, OK?

American Thinker  "Afghan President Hamid Karzai is acting more and more like the last president of South Vietnam, Nguyen Van Thieu. This, from Thieu's obit in the New York Times in 2001:

But a recently published book by Larry Berman, ''No Peace, No Honor: Nixon, Kissinger and Betrayal in Vietnam,'' (The Free Press), draws on previously secret archives to show that President Richard M. Nixon and Henry S. Kissinger, then the national security adviser, ignored Mr. Thieu's objections to their peace negotiations with Hanoi and agreed to withdraw American troops from Vietnam without any guarantees that North Vietnam would respect the Paris peace accords of 1973.

Obama's foreign policy as revealed in his Berlin speech

Obama hits a wall in Berlin

George Will  (From June 20) "The question of whether Barack Obama’s second term will be a failure was answered in the affirmative before his Berlin debacle, which has recast the question, which now is: Will this term be silly, even scary in its detachment from reality?

"Before Berlin, Obama set his steep downward trajectory by squandering the most precious post-election months on gun-control futilities and by a subsequent storm of scandals that have made his unvarying project — ever bigger, more expansive, more intrusive and more coercive government — more repulsive. Then came Wednesday’s pratfall in Berlin."....

Obamacare enforcer, the IRS released thousands of social security numbers

ConservativeDailyNews.com   "On Monday evening, the Internal Revenue Service confirmed that tens of thousands to possibl[y] 100,000 social security numbers were mistakenly released to the public through an IRS web page.

" PublicResource.org discovered the listing of Social Security Numbers and notified the IRS of the privacy issue. The IRS immediately cut-off internet access to the page.

"Although American’s Social Security cards prominently display the fact that the number should not be used for identification, it is. Credit card companies, mortgage lenders, banks and others use the number to identify a unique person. Access to this number can lead to identity theft, fraud and with the IRS taking on the role of Obamacare enforcer – crimes we haven’t even imagined.

"Ham-handed information management policies and procedures, like those used to unfairly scrutinize Conservative groups, are likely responsible for the leak of private information.

"Imagine how great it will be once the IRS has direct access to American’s healthcare information…  (Emphasis added)

Obamacare so confusing, government computers can’t handle it   "Imagine how much fun this will all be when beef consumption, sodas, alcohol and other things become 50% premium risks? Premiums may “necessarily skyrocket” as we speed on our way to a single-payer, fully government-run healthcare system."

Little Girls On Palestine TV: Jews Are 'Barbaric Monkeys, Wretched Pigs'

Big Peace   Palestinian Authority TV recently aired a segment in which two young sisters read a poem naming Jews as "barbaric monkeys" and "wretched pigs."
Al Quds is the Arabic word for Jerusalem.

"The sisters, who looked no older than 11 or 12, took turns reading the poem that described Jews as those "who were brought up on spilling blood" and who have "been condemned to humiliation and hardship." They described Jews as "the most evil among creations."
"The lyrics of the poem claim that Jerusalem does not belong to the Jews, nor does it want the Jews. Rather, it "vomits" Jews out because of there "impurity" and "filth."
"The PA TV broadcast of the two sisters was reported by Palestinian Media Watch.
"Secretary of State John Kerry has not indicated whether he will demand that the Palestinian Authority apologize for the program, or if he will bring it up when he is with them later this week."

Jesus foretells the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans about 30 A.D.

True Indicators of the Last Days as indicated in the Holy Scriptures.
"SIGN 1: A RESTORED ISRAEL AND JEWISH JERUSALEM "    

Jerusalem Restored to the Jews—“Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled” (Luke 21:24b). Although the exact meaning of Luke 21:24b has been debated for nearly 2,000 years—and still there is no consensus, signs of this prophetic fulfillment have begun rapidly falling into place since the re-establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

Obama’s Bluster Pulpit

The president’s saber-rattling in the Middle East makes America look weak and puts the world in danger

Victor Davis Hanson
"Most presidents are more resolute than Jimmy Carter and less firm than Reagan. George W. Bush, for example, meant what he said about the unpopular surge of troops into Iraq, which eventually quelled the violence of 2007-08. Yet in July 2003, when he taunted jihadists with, “Bring ’em on” at the start of the Iraqi insurgency, such braggadocio was not always followed by firm consequences. For example, the April 2004 abrupt pullback from the siege of Fallujah only fuelled greater violence.

"Unfortunately, after nearly five years in office, both President Obama’s foreign rivals and his domestic critics bet that his often saber-rattling rhetoric is mostly show. The more animated it sounds, the more observers assume that presidential tough talk will yield to American indecisiveness."

From an Egyptian in Alexandria

The Daily Bret Hat tip to Rush Limbaugh who weighs in on this subject as few others can. Printed as is with no corrections or edits.

"In a Nutshell...
 A lot of my dear American friends sill ask me what on earth really happened in egypt, for their benefit, and anyone else on earth genuinely trying to make heads or tails of us "crazy Egyptians" ; here's exactly what happened in egypt over the past 12 months, but expressed in 'American" terms...
 There are no exaggerations or lies, these events all took place:
 On June 30th 2012, democratically elected Barack Obama wins the election with 51.7%, takes the oath, and is sworn in as president of the United States.
 First five months of his term go relatively smoothly, where he makes almost no decisions (except for some dubious presidential pardons to a dozen convicted terrorists, including some convicted for their part in the assassination of a former US President).

 Suddenly, on November 21st 2012, president Obama issues a presidential decree giving himself sweeping powers, to the extent that his future decrees become un-contestable in any court, in effect his decisions henceforth are akin to the word of God.
 His laws a new Bible...

Nationwide protests erupt as a result of this decree and 1.5 million people organize a sit-in at the White House to peacefully request he rescind it.
 Some of Obama's democratic party supporters attack the peaceful sit-in outside the White House with guns & shoot 5 peaceful protesters dead
 A few weeks later president Obama dissolves the US Supreme Court and labels them all "traitors to America"

 One short week later, he fires the United States District Attorney and personally appoints a Democrat to replace him.
 A month later he annuls the US Constitution and forms a 'constitutional committee' to draft a new constitution (committee includes no Republicans or Independents, no Moslems or Jews, and only a handful of women.. And is composed primarily of Democrats & religious preachers)
 In a referendum not supervised by any judicial branch, this constitution narrowly wins, and President Obama ratifies it the very next morning (despite it having only gotten the approval of 18% of all Americans).
 Within a month he invites top global terrorists, known jihadists and Al Qaeda members from all over the world, to a rally in Yankee stadium, where he cuts ties with and declares war on, Canada.

 Throughout this whole time, the US economy is sinking, the stock market collapsing, foreign investment has all but stopped, tourism has died, and electricity, fuel, and water shortages are a daily occurrence.
 Unemployment has almost doubled, and the US$ dollar has lost 20% of its value globally.
 Oh, and president Obama also outlines his new plans to lease the entire Silicon Valley area to China for 50 years (with full administrative control)...
 Democratically elected president Barack Obama has done all the above in his FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE!!!
 Ultimately, on June 30th, 2013...
 110 million Americans take to the streets in 50 States peacefully and politely demanding -for 4 straight days- that democratically elected Obama leave immediately, and not continue his remaining 3 years....
 That's it in a nutshell
 Who would you say had "legitimacy" in this case if it had been America?
 "Democratically elected Barrack Obama", or the 110 million Americans who fired him ... ?"

Morning Bell: Obamacare’s Dirty Dozen Implementation Failures

Heritage  "Last week, the Obama Administration attempted to spin its announcement of a one-year delay in Obamacare’s employer mandate as an effort to implement the law “in a careful, thoughtful manner.” Don’t be fooled. Even Democrats have admitted the law has turned into a massive “train wreck,” with delays, glitches, and problems aplenty. Here are a dozen more Obamacare implementation failures."
....

"As these examples demonstrate, it’s not just the employer mandate that’s flawed—it’s the entire law. Recognizing these myriad, massive failures, Congress should hold the line and refuse to spend a single dime on Obamacare implementation."

Obama administration Voter ID hypocrisy

M. L. Pershern  "In light of the recent presidential pander-cation to Africa, it was timely to find the following link, from a simpatico, in my e-mail inbox: White House Pays $53 Million for Voter ID in Kenya While Opposing Same in US."

Quoting a White House document:

In Kenya, the $53 million Yes Youth Can program empowers nearly one million Kenyan youth to use their voices for advocacy in national and local policy-making, while also creating economic opportunities.  In advance of Kenya’s March 2013 general elections, Yes Youth Can’s “My ID My Life” campaign helped 500,000 youth obtain National identification cards, a prerequisite to voter registration, and carried out a successful nationwide campaign with Kenyan civic organizations to elicit peace pledges from all presidential aspirants.

Obama's State Department credibility takes a hit

Psaki's pants on fire  The State Department's new spokeswoman Jen Psaki has sacrificed her own, the State Department, and Secretary of State John Kerry's credibility with her readily proven lying about his whereabouts as the coup in Egypt unfolded. Jennifer Epstein at Politico:....

"Diplomats are supposed to be able to lie, but they have to do it with style and finesse, over matters easily checked. The credibility of all concerned has taken a nosedive, just as the State Department faces very delicate tasks in Egypt."   

Right: "But the State Department said Kerry was not aboard a boat on Wednesday and has spent the day working the phones on Egypt. "Since his plane touched down in Washington at 4 a.m."

The State Department's New Mouthpiece, "Jen Psaki, has a history of serving as Barack Obama's mouthpiece. People will yearn for the days of Victoria Nuland -- who actually had a long bipartisan and impressive career. She has been replaced by a hack.
"Obama's second term even more than his first term has been marked by political hacks being rewarded with plum government jobs. This is true over at the State Department, as well, where Jen Psaki has been given the high profile position as its spokeswoman."
