Carter administration all over again: The competence of President Obama questioned
Who will the president blame for this? Assuming his protective press cares enough to cover this subject, that is.
UK Guardian: White House staff tried to 'un-ring the bell' after revealing CIA chief's identity
"The White House blew the cover of the top CIA agent in Afghanistan on Sunday, when the person’s name was included on a list given to reporters during a visit to the country by President Barack Obama.
"The name was then emailed by the White House press office to a distribution list of more than 6,000 recipients, mostly members of the US media.
"The agent in question, listed as chief of station, would be a top manager of CIA activity in Afghanistan, including intelligence collection and a drone-warfare programme under which unmanned aerial vehicles mount cross-border attacks into Pakistan."
Get this man out of that country NOW
With new troubles, questions mount about Obama's competence " 'You've been a United States senator less than two years, you don't have any executive experience. Are you ready to be president?" the late Tim Russert asked Obama on NBC."
In response, candidate Barack Obama did not address this question.
Why is Team Obama unable to bring home Marine held in Mexico? "After he was treated, officials chained all four of his limbs to his hospital bed. Now back in jail, he remains chained to his bed by one leg.
"Equally egregious is our own government’s lack of desire and priority to negotiate Tahmooressi’s release." Lucianne.
BBC: Is US foreign policy 'vacuous, vapid and weak'? "The most senior Republican on the Senate Foreign affairs committee, Bob Corker, tells me there are "questions about the United States that haven't been there in time in the past".
" 'And I think that creates a vacuum and in that vacuum other people step in," he said.
" 'I am very concerned about the lack of a clear-sighted foreign policy in our country." Lucianne.
Fear and anger among allies
Letterman writer Bill Scheft: "It's not because he's black and it's not because we're afraid. It's just that he's, just so far, just a little too damn competent and we ain't used to that. [multiple panelists say "yeah."] "
Democrats Privately Calling Obama 'Detached,' 'Flat Footed,' 'Incompetent' ... "Haberman of Politico agreed, cited more examples, and added: "All of this adds up to somebody who just doesn't seem at all involved.' "

The 44th president – who once said that his accomplishments could compare favorably with those of any of his predecessors with the “possible exceptions” of Lyndon Johnson, FDR, and Abraham Lincoln – has always had a huge opinion of his executive gifts. The American people no longer share it. As a political creature, Obama’s talents are undeniable. When it comes to competent governance, they turned out to be anything but.

US foreign policy: Trouble abroad
The Financial Times
"Barack Obama is accused of timidity overseas, thereby raising fear and anger among allies."
"Eighteen months later, the political ground is shifting rapidly beneath Mr Obama’s feet. As he prepares to give an important address on foreign policy at West Point tomorrow, the president finds himself under attack over what critics charge is a record of indecisive leadership."
So many uninformed, uninterested Obama voters must be taught in the months ahead just how our foreign policy matters to the well-being of this nation. It will not be easy, given the anti-American point of view in academia and in the journalism graduates it turns out.
"Barack Obama is accused of timidity overseas, thereby raising fear and anger among allies."
"When President Barack Obama ran for re-election in 2012, he pulled off what for Democrats was a remarkable feat – he took foreign policy off the table as a campaign issue.
"Ever since Harry Truman was accused of “losing China”, Republicans have sought to cast their Democratic opponents as weak in the face of foreign challenges. Yet fresh from his risky but successful military operation to kill Osama bin Laden, Mr Obama side-stepped the usual assault during his re-election campaign. His challenger Mitt Romney hardly brought up foreign policy.

... "The months of painstaking discussion in the first term over whether to put more troops into Afghanistan have been matched in the second term by a series of reviews of Syria policy, which have each ended with Mr Obama deciding to do little."
...
“ 'While the wolf is eating the sheep, there is no shepherd to come to the rescue of the pack,” former Saudi intelligence chief Prince Turki al-Faisal told the FT."
...
"Assailed by complicated crises and mounting criticism, Barack Obama still has one clear shot at leaving a substantial foreign policy legacy – the nuclear talks with Iran."
Good luck with that: Iran’s Supreme Leader: Jihad Will Continue Until America is No More
"Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, all but said on Sunday that negotiations over the country’s illicit nuclear program are over and that the Islamic Republic’s ideals include destroying America."
Is this a declaration of war or isn't it?
Mr. Ramirez’s cartoons cut to the heart of an issue like no others…
The White House vowed to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by year's end. That's if they agree to leave. If given the choice between surviving Taliban attacks in the Afghan mountains and surviving VA care when they get home, they like their chances in the mountains.
President Obama explained he didn't know about the VA hospital scandal until he heard about it from reporters Monday. That's pretty much the pattern. President Obama doesn't hold press conferences to make news, he holds press conferences to find out what's in the news. Argus Hamilton
President Obama to Unveil Foreign Policy in a Speech at the One Place Where No One Will Question Him...
"... Via CNN:
Eager to respond to criticism of his foreign policy approach to recent crises, from Syria to Ukraine, President Barack Obama will lay out his vision on Wednesday at the commencement at West Point for how the United States should apply force around the world..." 'Eager to respond"???
"Bwah.
Obama commencement speech at West Point more about him than cadets "During his commencement speech at "the Point," Obama hopes to project the strong image of a leader in-charge of the world's most powerful nation, rather than being viewed as the weak leader of a declining nation, said Mike Baker, a political strategist.
" 'There's a bit of danger in his using the West Point graduation to kickoff his new round of speeches: Wednesday's ceremony is supposed to be a celebration of the achievements of the graduating cadets, not a special occasion for Obama to bash Republicans and his predecessor George W. Bush," said Baker."
In his previous speech at the academy, Cadets at West Point were ORDERED to show enthusiasm for the President's speech. ... "Just minutes before the president took the stage inside Eisenhower Hall, the gathered cadets were asked to respond "enthusiastically" to the speech. But it didn't help: The soldiers' reception was cool.
"One didn't have to be a cadet on Tuesday to feel a bit of nausea upon hearing Obama's speech." ...

One didn't have to be a cadet on Tuesday to feel a bit of nausea upon hearing Obama's speech. It was the least truthful address that he has ever held. He spoke of responsibility, but almost every sentence smelled of party tactics. He demanded sacrifice, but he was unable to say what it was for exactly.

“ 'We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.' ”
9,000 Fallen Soldiers Etched into the Sand on Normandy Beach
The Fallen 9000 " It was one of the decisive moments of the Second World War... One hundred and fifty thousand allied troops storming the beaches of Normandy... But D-Day came at a terrible cost. 9,000 fell in the initial fighting... and last weekend they were remembered on one of the French beaches where they died. Joe Inwood was there to see a unique project by artists from Yorkshire - honouring the fallen."
"British artists Jamie, accompanied by numerous volunteers, took to the beaches of Normandy with rakes and stencils in hand to etch 9,000 silhouettes representing fallen people into the sand. Titled The Fallen 9000, the piece is meant as a stark visual reminder of those who died during the D-Day beach landings at Arromanches on June 6th, 1944 during WWII. The original team consisted of 60 volunteers, but as word spread nearly 500 additional local residents arrived to help with the temporary installation that lasted only a few hours before being washed away by the tide.

The rusting hulks you see are from the "Mulberry" harbor built after D Day to offload ships. It was destroyed in a terrible storm at that time.
Visualize Arromanches as it must have looked on June 6th, 1944:
Bear in mind that all those dead were not just at Arromanches, but at the numerous landing sites shown below.

Memorial Day Tribute to D-Day: June 6, 1944 "This video is dedicated to those who fought, died, and suffered on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944. But it does not diminish the thanks we give to those who have fought in all wars to preserve what is good and just in this world. To them we owe our gratitude."
Contrast our veterans with these untermenschen below:
World War II graves smashed in Libya ... "One man can be heard saying: "This is a grave of a Christian," as he uprooted a stone headstone from the ground.
"Another voice in the footage says of the people buried in the cemetery: "These are dogs"." ...

That's what these people said and they are taken seriously by liberals in congress, academia and the media. And they dare blame the right for the animosity in our political climate.

Chicks on the Right "You HAVE to see how Sen. Ron Johnson responds to Sen. Rockefeller's unwarranted charge of racism. You'll want to stand up and scream BRAVO."
Ron Johnson Goes Off On Dem: 'God Help You For Implying I'm A Racist' ... "Johnson, speaking at the hearing, accused Rockefeller of "playing the race card."
" 'My opposition to health care has nothing to do with the race of President Obama," Johnson said. "I objected to this because it's an assault on our freedom. ... I found it very offensive that you would basically imply that I'm a racist because I oppose this health care law."
"'You're evidently satisfied with a lot of people not having health insurance," Rockefeller responded." ...
"Our son didn't murder those people in Isla Vista, guns did!"
Thomas Lifson "While it is understandable, perhaps, to wish to deflect their own responsibility in having raised someone who is “suspected” of being a homicidal madman and not seeing to it that he was institutionalized, the inconvenient fact is that the first three victims were murdered by use of a knife or knives. Total gun confiscation would not have saved half of the homicide victims. And Rodger’s rampage injured other people with his car, deliberately steering into a bicyclist and a skateboarder.
"Quite clearly, he is “suspected” of using whatever weapons were at hand to allegedly kill and injure people in a rage."

Here is much more about this murderer than you probably care to know
Apparently this is how PC-approved "settled science" becomes "settled" (UPDATED)
A Heated Debate: Are Climate Scientists Being Forced to Toe the Line?
"After joining a controversial lobby group critical of climate change, meteorologist Lennart Bengtsson claims he was shunned by colleagues, leading him to quit. Some scientists complain pressure to conform to consensus opinion has become a serious hindrance in the field."
"The scientist said colleagues placed so much pressure on him after joining GWPF that he withdrew from the group out of fear for his own health. Bengtsson added that his treatment had been reminiscent of the persecution of suspected Communists in the United States during the era of McCarthyism in the 1950s."
I suggest to you that the term, "flat-earthers" should best be applied to the man-caused global warming advocates. That the earth was flat was "settled science" back in the day as was the theory that the sun moved around the earth. Only courageous scientists such as Dr. Bengtsson dare challenge the financially advantageous position that the global warmists live off of.
This is the price scientists such as Lennart Bengtsson have to pay:
But Bengtsson insists that even close colleagues shunned him. He says that one research partner, apparently fearing damage to his reputation, withdrew from a study they had been conducting together. Bengtsson added no further details other than to state that the incident had been hurtful.
UPDATE: Where Did ’97 Percent’ Global Warming Consensus Figure Come From? “ 'It is astonishing that any journal could have published a paper claiming a 97% climate consensus when on the authors’ own analysis the true consensus was well below 1%,” said Dr. David Legates, a geology professor at the University of Delaware and the study’s lead author."
A politician who agrees with those PC flat-earthers pronounces the "proper" point of view:

"Secretary of State John Kerry told an audience in Mexico on Wednesday that temperatures in Europe and in Vietnam were “unprecedented” and broke “every record that’s ever been seen.” However, although it was hot that day, he was off the mark."
