Apparently Joe isn't the only Obamite with a big mouth

UK- Guardian News and Media Limited:  Underwear bomb plot: British and US intelligence rattled over leaks.
"Leak about UK involvement described as despicable by CIA as anger turns to Obama administration for compromising mission"
"Detailed leaks of operational information about the foiled underwear bomb plot are causing growing anger in the US intelligence community, with former agents blaming the Obama administration for undermining national security and compromising the British services, MI6 and MI5.
....This does seem to be a tawdry political thing."
....
"Robert Grenier, former head of the CIA counter-terrorism centre, said: "As for British Intelligence, I suppose, but do not know, that they must be very unhappy. They are often exasperated, quite reasonably, with their American friends, who are far more leak-prone than they.

"In their place, I would think two and three times before sharing with the Americans, and then only do it if I had to. The problem with that dynamic is that you don't know what you don't know, and what opportunities you might be missing when you decide not to share. The Americans are doing a very good job of undermining trust, and the problem starts at the top." (Emphasis added. TD)

Obama administration’s recent leaks about Israel’s possible military plans to to prevent a nuclear Iran have undermined Obama’s assurances. This is not cooperation--it is sabotage  "Now, with the Obama administration regularly interfering with and revealing Israeli military plans, it is impossible for Democrats and their media allies to make the ever-more-ridiculous claim that he is the best friend Israel has had in the White House. 

"Worse, the Obama administration is helping Iran unravel the U.S.-Israel alliance, exposing Israel to attack and allowing Iran to threaten America's interests and stature."

What kind of idiot can still believe Barack Obama belongs in the White House as president?

Echoes of ‘67: Israel unites

Charles Krauthammer  "Netanyahu forfeited September elections that would have given him four more years in power. He chose instead to form a national coalition that guarantees 18 months of stability — 18 months during which, if the world does not act (whether by diplomacy or otherwise) to stop Iran, Israel will.

"And it will not be the work of one man, one party or one ideological faction. As in 1967, it will be the work of a nation."

Jerusalem Post

Believe it or not, Israel may be safer with Obama than Ron Paul. 
No, Obama isn't that much of a mensch; I regard Paul as that much more"dangerous" (Paul's proud title) than Obama in this regard.  Code Pink's hate for Israel and their love for Obama notwithstanding. TD

Democrats and their press expose Romney's evil high school days

Democrats inadvertenly open the door to Obama's past    " In the recent kerfluffle over gay marriage two things have happened: 1) Barack Obama officially declared his support and 2) the Washington Post published a hit piece on Mitt Romney implying that he engaged in gay bashing while in high school (factually incorrect but I digress). It's obvious to anyone with a brain that these two events were coordinated. What's not obvious is the door that has been opened by them.

"The Democrats, in their zeal to destroy Mitt Romney by any means necessary have opened the door to the candidates' histories. There's only one problem. Barack Obama, as his first official act as President, sealed his records."

  
Rush Limbaugh:  What Mitt Romney Hasn't Done...  "Mitt Romney was not at Chappaquiddick.  Mitt Romney has not been accused of rape.  Mitt Romney did not have an affair with a mob babe.  He didn't have an affair with an actress who committed suicide later on.  Mitt Romney did not father a child out of wedlock.  Mitt Romney did not support the tapping of Martin Luther King's phone.  Mitt Romney was never a member of the Ku Klux Klan.  Mitt Romney did not lie about his law school grades. 

"Chappaquiddick is Ted Kennedy.  Accused of rape is Bill Clinton.  Affair with the mob babe and an actress, John Kennedy.  Didn't father a child out of wedlock, that's John Edwards and Democrats too numerous to mention.  Didn't support the tapping of Martin Luther King's phone, that's Robert Kennedy.  Never a member of the Ku Klux Klan, that's Robert Byrd.  Didn't lie about his law school grades, that's Joe Biden.  All Democrats, and all of those Democrats did those things well after high school."....


Neal Boortz: Ohhhh. Romney roughed someone up in high school!  "And just what information did they try to dig up on VanderSloot? You got it. Divorce records. Here we go again. At this point I’ll let Kimberley Strassel of The Wall Street Journal tell you the rest [of] the story. It’s an article titled: Trolling for Dirt on the President’s List. Click and read --- learn the type of man we have in the White House and the type of people who support and work for him. "

White House Gets West Virginia Message: Coal is Back!

Clarice Feldman    "Michelle Obama's Mirror catches the May 9-to-May 10 change on the Obama  website energy plan. Clean Coal has now taken the place  once held by  "Fuel Efficiency."  Nothing like losing over 40% of the primary vote to a jailed felon to clear the mind on energy."

West Virginia daze   "My favorite political story of the year is Texas inmate Keith Judd, winning 41% of the vote against Barack Obama in the West Virginia Democratic Presidential primary on Tuesday. Judd carried 9 counties and came close to winning one of the state's three Congressional districts."
Let me repeat that one part in case you didn't hear it the first time: "Judd carried 9 counties and came close to winning one of the state's three Congressional districts."!

Not Obama

John Podhoretz: Bad omens for Bam  "So what are we to make of the fact that Federal Inmate #11593-051 — a k a Keith Judd, in a Texas pen since 1999 after making “violent threats” against people at the University of New Mexico — just got 41 percent of the vote against the sitting Democratic president in the West Virginia primary?

"Yes, I said 41 percent. Against Barack Obama."

.... "It’s too bad Keith Judd isn’t on the ballot in any other state, because he has great slogan possibilities going forward: “I won’t only be your president, I’ll also make your license plate,” “Yes We Can (Get Paroled)” and “Ahmadinejad better not drop the soap.”

"Judd surely has the resources to run, as I gather he’s already raised a record 800 million cigarettes. In an effort to win New Jersey, he has vowed to dig the canceled rail tunnel under the Hudson River all by himself — with a spoon.

Why felon Keith Judd did so well against Obama in West Virginia  "The president angered voters with new Environmental Protection Agency policies, which some see as a “war on coal” and have stalled mining permits for the state’s coal mining industry."

Sheriff Joe vs. Marshall Holder- in the streets at high noon

Justice Dept. accuses Ariz. Sheriff Arpaio of racial profiling  "The Justice Department, which first targeted Sheriff Joe Arpaio four years ago in his suspected mishandling of illegal immigrants arrested in the Phoenix area, filed a civil lawsuit in federal court Thursday accusing the sheriff and his office using “unconstitutional and unlawful actions” in their handling of Hispanics."
...."The sheriff also said the accusations were a foregone conclusion made in bad faith, noting that during one crime sweep by his deputies, “top Homeland Security people were there, and they commended us on our professionalism."

SHERIFF JOE TO HOLDER: 'CLEAN YOUR OWN HOUSE FIRST!'  "The sheriff charged that the Obama administration is attacking him in an effort to gain Hispanic votes in November for the Democratic Party.
" “This is a coordinated effort directed from the White House to deflect attention from Eric Holder’s failure to cooperate in the congressional investigation into Fast and Furious,” he said.

"Arpaio accused Obama of wanting to make him the “poster boy” in the administration’s public relations effort to deflect attention from Holder."

Perhaps Eric Holder is after Sheriff Joe because of this: "Arpaio also told WND he will not abandon his volunteer team’s investigation into Obama’s eligibility for the Arizona presidential ballot."

(See also PJ Tatler on the radical lawyers who wrote the complaint.)  The complaint includes a collection of sufficiently insensitive anecdotes by MCSO employees.  One of the acts giving rise to the federal lawsuit is this outrage:

MCSO supervisors involved in immigration enforcement have expressed anti-Latino bias, in one instance widely distributing an email that included a photograph of a Chihuahua dog dressed in swimming gear with the caption “A Rare Photo of a Mexican Navy Seal.”

Pelosi: Her Catholic Faith 'Compels' Her to Support Same-Sex Marriage/ Guess what California is up to now!

CNS News  "Pelosi responded: "My religion has, compels me--and I love it for it--to be against discrimination of any kind in our country, and I consider this a form of discrimination. I think it’s unconstitutional on top of that. "

"Pelosi spoke glowingly of the comments President Barack Obama made Wednesday when he said he supported same-sex marriage."

"While opposing "unjust discrimination" against homosexuals, the Catechism of the Catholic Church says that homosexual acts are "contrary to the natural law" and can never be approved and that marriage is the sacramental union of a man and a woman."

Jack-booted conservationism

The New Holocaust Deniers; Environmentalists still won't admit the existence of the carnage they have created.  "Yet here was this liberal gentleman, supposedly an anti-racist and feminist, a self-proclaimed defender of the poor and the helpless, shrugging off massive violations of human rights and extraordinary crimes directed against women, infants, and people of color. In amazement I blurted out, “This is a holocaust, and you should not be denying it!”
"Then it hit me. I was dealing with a holocaust denier."

Eco Crowd Growing Desperate—and Dangerous  "Notice that arguments contrary to what Zwick believes are not honest differences of opinion—they are “lies.” Those who disagree with him are not merely mistaken, they are malevolent. They are not worthy of being converted to his point of view via honest debate; they deserve only to have their homes razed.
"This is fascism, pure and simple, and it is more and more a feature of environmentalist rhetoric." 

...."Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, global warming was the Left’s last, best chance to institute a world-wide redistributive regime.  What happens when global warming, too, collapses?"

The Lacey Act: From Conservation to Criminalization  "How did a law originally enacted to target poaching of migratory birds evolve to authorize an armed raid of a guitar factory in search of wooden veneers imported without the proper paperwork? The Lacey Act was the first federal wildlife conservation statute, narrowly targeted at the interstate sale in poached game. But in the century since its enactment, the statute’s scope has been enormously expanded to the point that it now incorporates the wildlife and trade laws of every foreign nation. As a result, it has become a trap for the unwary, placing honest businessmen and businesswomen at risk of criminal liability for unknowing violations of hyper-technical foreign laws and regulations.

"In short, the Lacey Act has become the poster child for the phenomenon of overcriminalization and should be at the top of Congress’s list for reform."

Obama: Gay for Pay

 Washington Free Beacon: OBAMA REVERSAL ON SAME SEX MARRIAGE COMES JUST DAYS AFTER DONORS THREATENED TO WITHHOLD FUNDS

"The Washington Post noted on Tuesday that roughly 20 percent of Obama top campaign bundlers—who are responsible for arranging $500,000 and up—“publicly identified themselves as gay.”  

"Obama’s announcement fits a pattern of changing positions on major issues for what appear to be financially motivated reasons." Via Lucianne

Steve McCann: Obama's politics of distraction  "While Europe is inching ever closer to plunging into a financial abyss, there are moments of comic relief provided by the current President of the United States.  He has not only become the butt of innumerable jokes but his re-election campaign tactics are the stuff of low-brow comedy. A case in point, his recent "evolution" in to supporting gay marriage."
 ....Quoting from this UK Telegraph article: Obama's cynical endorsement of gay marriage is a gift to Mitt Romney:

As for gay rights campaigners, I hope they won't be fooled by this empty, cynical gesture.  Why did Obama wait until after the North Carolina vote to back gay marriage?

Cowardice, perhaps?  Ladies and gentlemen, Obama is a politician.  He'll take your money and your votes and give you nothing in return.  At least Mitt Romney might cut your taxes.

 

• Obama hits the motherlode after gay marriage statement
• That was no Biden gaffe 
• Much more on this here.
• Obama "evolves", but Romney "flip-flops".  Don't you love "journalists"?

Alan Caruba: Gay Marriage is Obama's Poison Pill   "Urbanites and suburbanites may say that they are okay with gay marriage, but what they tell pollsters and what they say privately among friends and family is far different. Americans may want to be tolerant, but their distaste for the gay lifestyle and incessant demands for acceptance is deeply offensive to most people."

Heritage Culture Watch: President Obama and the Truth About Marriage  "The reason the state is in the marriage business in the first place is because sex makes babies and babies need mothers and fathers. As one source has put it, “but for children, there would be no need of any institution concerned with sex.” That “institution” is marriage, and it brings together men and women as husbands and wives to become fathers and mothers to any children their unions bring forth.
"This binding together doesn’t happen by accident. Binding fathers to mothers and their children requires strong cultural and legal norms to channel adult sexual desire and behavior into an institution where childbearing leads to responsible childrearing."


The DOJ’s Unprofessionalism in Its Attack on Traditional Marriage  "Next, Attorney General Eric Holder announced in February that the Justice Department would no longer defend DOMA in court, but that the President had directed executive agencies to continue enforcing DOMA unless it is repealed by Congress or the judicial branch renders a “definitive verdict” against the law’s constitutionality.

"Now the Justice Department has gone even further, filing a strongly-worded brief in federal court in San Francisco in Golinski v. United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) arguing that DOMA was motivated by hostility toward gays and lesbians and is unconstitutional."

Presidential Narcissism

Hat tip to Neal Boortz , who introduced this column thus: "Victor Davis Hanson has some thoughts on what he calls Presidential Narcissism.  In this regard, he calls Bill Clinton and Barack Obama “brothers beneath the skin.” "

Victor Davis Hanson   ...."And aside from the fact that Barack Obama promised never to “spike the football” by using the SEAL mission to score campaign points, only a narcissistic Bill Clinton could have envisioned the death or capture of Navy SEALs not in terms of those men’s own horrible fates, but only as political “downside” for an equally narcissistic Barack Obama."

...".In other words, I worry that Vladimir Putin, the Iranian theocrats, the North Korean apparat, the Chinese central committee, the Muslim Brotherhood, and all the others who detest the United States have sized up Barack Obama. For 40 months they have acknowledged that his postracial image and his youthful charisma, as David Axelrod and Robert Gibbs rightly insisted, threw them for a loop — for a while. And that “for a while” is now ending, replaced with a new belief abroad that the more Obama talks about himself and his team, and the more emphatic he becomes with his “Make no mistake about it” and “Let me be perfectly clear” vacuities, the more he can at first safely be ignored, and then, quite soon, safely be taken advantage of.

"The problem with a narcissistic president is not just that he sees the world as all about himself, but that the world soon sees that it is not about him at all."


Elliott Abrams:  ‘On My Behalf’ Really?  "Most Americans thought they were fighting for the country, not on Barack Obama’s behalf.  Slip of the tongue, to be sure, but can one think of another president who’d have made it?  They are fighting under his command, under his orders, to be sure, but this particular locution is offensive and solipsistic.  Mr. Obama has switched his position on the sanctity of marriage back and forth and has a new one, again, today, revealed when politics made that advisable to him and to his campaign.  Whether this is the end or he will “evolve” some more is anyone’s guess.

"But let’s leave our soldiers out of this. They aren’t fighting for Mr. Obama and his campaign, and no one sent them out to risk their lives to win same sex “marriage.”
