Who will clean up the wreckage caused by the Obama "foreign policy"

Putin in Israel upstages Obama, points up waning U.S. influence  "At the same time, it  points up a corresponding weakening of U.S. influence -- most notably by an inevitable comparison with Barack Obama's failure to visit Israel on his presidential watch.  While Obama was quick to visit Cairo and to reach out to the Arab world after his inauguration, he has yet to set foot in Israel three years later -- an absence that has soured many Israelis.
"Furthermore, Putin's presence in Israel, coupled with Obama's absence, serves to underscore a raft of U.S. diplomatic failures in responding to the "Arab Spring" -- with the White House initially celebrating popular revolutions and then only belatedly discovering the dark side of these upheavals."

Israel to press visiting Putin on Iran  "The Iranian nuclear program will top the agenda — and the steely Russian president, widely viewed as coddling the Iranians, may hold the key to avoiding a potential slide into another Middle East war."


Putin to Israel: Iran won't get a nuclear bomb. No need for an Israeli strike  "The high point of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s noteworthy 90-minute talk with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem Monday, June 25, was Putin’s firm assertion that Iran will not get a nuclear bomb. This is disclosed exclusively by DEBKAfile’s Jerusalem and Moscow sources."

Jerusalem Post

Le Point, France: Five months before the presidential elections, Israel is worried about a U.S. policy considered timorous in regards to Iran — worried enough to disrupt the game.  "But Netanyahu, an Israeli who, having spent a portion of his life in the U.S., knows it best, is led to believe that Obama's opponent, Mitt Romney when he declared recently: "If we re-elect Barack Obama, Iran will have a nuclear weapon. If you elect me as president, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon." Netanyahu is skeptical about the chances of Romney winning the White House, but remembers that after his 2008 election, Obama offered a hand to the Iranians to create more normalized relations. And Tehran took the opportunity to accelerate its nuclear program."

Kitabat, Iraq: A Letter to President Obama    
"Would you be incapable of suppressing the militias and other armed groups if they were to attack the people in one of your states and take over the streets? Would you stay at home and leave the people to fend for themselves? So, why did you leave us at the mercy of militias although you are well aware of the situation on the ground? You are the ones who brought about the new complicated situation in Iraq that is prevalent today."

IS PANETTA COVERING UP BIN LADEN MOVIE LEAKS?

Big Hollywood  "Of course, Panetta is working for Barack Obama, who certainly plans to use the movie to bolster his image, so it’s a safe bet to assume someone in the Administration is lying here. To get the unvarnished truth, we turn to Judicial Watch, which was the gutsy organization that filed suit to gain access to the documents detailing exactly what the Administration did do.

"On July 13, 2011, internal CIA email indicates that Bigelow and Boal were granted access to “the Vault,” which is described as the CIA building where some of the tactical planning for the bin Laden raid took place:"...

" As Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton cogently stated:"

These documents, which took nine months and a federal lawsuit to disgorge from the Obama administration, show that politically-connected film makers were giving extraordinary and secret access to bin Laden raid information, including the identity of a Seal Team Six leader. It is both ironic and hypocritical that the Obama administration stonewalled Judicial Watch’s pursuit of the bin Laden death photos, citing national security concerns, yet seemed willing to share intimate details regarding the raid to help Hollywood filmmakers release a movie ‘perfectly timed to give a home-stretch boost’ to the Obama campaign.

Jennifer Rubin: Immigration ruling disappoints the no-enforcement crowd  " In this, Obama has finally achieved the status of not being Bush. His predecessor helped craft and fought for a comprehensive immigration bill. Obama could have done the same, but didn’t."

Should Christians Disengage from Politics?

Sodahead "There used to be a time when we did live a quiet and tranquil life because there was a time when Christians engaged their world culturally and politically. The goal has never been to save the world through politics but to put politics in its proper place. Our false sense of quietude and tranquility have gotten us to the place where we are losing what many fought so hard to gain.

"What if a government starts molesting people for their beliefs or even their mere existence? What should a Christian do? The slave trade, the holocaust, and racial discrimination come to mind. The anti-slave trade was headed up by Christians. Study the life of William Wilberforce (1759-1833) if you don’t believe me. So was the civil rights movement."  Via Godfather Politics

Gay pride in the era of Obama and the Democrats

Nice Party, Barack… Gay Activists Flip Off Reagan at White House Pride Party
Comments:

Moe:  Zoe Strauss on her Facebook page: “Oh, make no mistake, I think Reagan was an absolute monster and I hate what he did to the United States and to the world. I love a lot of people, but I hate Reagan. No question. I absoutely hate Reagan. All US Presidents are murders and saviors. Reagan was one who set us up for the downfall.”Why exactly was she invited to the White House?

Francesca:  Will there be a hetero pride party??? I really don’t care what the gays do in their private life, BUT I am sick and tired of it being pushed in my face. A gay pride celebration and dance at the White House??? Pandering much? Good grief.

Aren't You Proud About White House Party Behavior

Zoe Strauss also insisted on telling President Reagan’s White House portrait that he was number one, but her angry TwitterPic had no caption, as she chose to delete her "F–K YOU, REAGAN" commentary.  
It seems both Strauss and Hart are epic fails on public civility. But after the Cheesehead Fleebagger episode and the occupation of the Wisconsin State Capitol, it is no surprise which side has left behind their anger management therapy.
Straus, however, made herself out to be the life of the party by posting another picture making out with another individual under Reagan’s portrait. 


Dan Savage and his partner Terry Miller visited the White House for the Obama administration’s “Pride Reception.” There, Savage wore a pin reading “EVOLVE ALREADY”
"Prior to his selection by the Obama administration, [Savage] was the founder of GLSEN, where he famously advised a teenage boy to use a condom after the boy came to him for advice about sex with men in a bus station bathroom."

Communist Defector Speaks Out on America’s Marxist Future

New Zeal  "A top communist defector is warning of an unprecedented “alliance” between the Democratic Party and the Communist Party, reflected in the CPUSA’s endorsement of Barack Obama for president in 2008 and the party’s continued support for Democratic Party policies. But is this warning going to be too hot to handle for the media? And the Republicans?"

Charles Krauthammer: Obama’s amnesty-by-fiat: Naked lawlessness

Charles Krauthammer  "This is utter nonsense. Prosecutorial discretion is the application on a case-by-case basis of considerations of extreme and extenuating circumstances. No one is going to deport, say, a 29-year-old illegal immigrant whose parents had just died in some ghastly accident and who is the sole support for a disabled younger sister and ailing granny. That’s what prosecutorial discretion is for. The Napolitano memo is nothing of the sort. It’s the unilateral creation of a new category of persons — a class of 800,000 — who, regardless of individual circumstance, are hereby exempt from current law so long as they meet certain biographic criteria.

"This is not discretion. This is a fundamental rewriting of the law."

Premium Nonsense On Medicare

This email came today, so I did a cursory search to see the truth behind it:

Oh, you weren't aware this was in the Obama Healthcare bill? Guess what, you aren't alone. There are more than a few members of Congress that aren't aware of it either.  http://www.gop.gov/blog/10/04/08/obamacare-flatlines-obamacare-taxes-home
VOTERS NEED TO KNOW.
Now carefully look at Medicare:* Look at the 2014 Monthly Medicare Insurance Premium rate compared to the today’s rate:
** Look at the 2014 Medicare Part "B" rate compared to the 2013 rate: "The per person Medicare Insurance Premium will increase from the present Monthly Fee of $96.40, rising to:$104.20 in 2012

$120.20 in 2013and$247.00 in 2014."

This link came back from FactCheck.org
Q: Will the new health care law raise Medicare’s basic monthly premium to $247 in 2014, as a viral message claims?

A: No, Medicare officials project the basic premium will be less than half that. But the law will eventually cause 14 percent of seniors with incomes over $85,000 a year ($170,000 for couples) to pay higher "income-related" premiums, up from 5 percent currently.

Bottom line is however, that premiums will go up. More here:

FULL ANSWERThis widely circulating message is similar to a falsehood-filled screed that went around last year, urging "retribution" against members of Congress in the 2010 midterm elections. This message makes somewhat different accusations — also false — and urges voters to "remember" in November 2012.....

NBC: New York Times ponders the decline of NBC News

Thomas Lifson  "In an unintentionally hilarious article, New York Times scribes Bill Carter and Brian Stelter manage to analyze the ratings fall of NBC News without ever considering the effects of the swing to Obama sycophancy that has characterized that operation.  In fresh memory, one finds, for example, the outrageous editing of George Zimmerman's 911 call to make it appear he was racist, Andrea Mitchell's outrageous editing of a Mitt Romney speech on MSNBC  to make it appear he is an out of touch dolt (omitting the central point of his discussion of ordering a sandwich at WaWa and laughing on air at him), and the network's evening news broadcast failure to inform viewers about Fast and Furious until the Issa committee voted him in contempt of Congress."

NBC: Are Obama Daughters the President's 'Secret Weapon'?  "White House correspondent Kristen Welker began the fawning report by declaring: "President Obama usually leaves the family at home when he hits the campaign trail, but he doesn't hesitate to remind voters that he doesn't live alone here at the White House. In fact, political analysts say with less than five months to go until election day, it seems like we're hearing about the First Daughters more and more." "


MS Sufferer Neil Cavuto Slams 'Horses' A--es' at MSNBC for Mocking Ann Romney's MS Therapy  "As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell on Monday shamefully mocked Ann Romney for riding horses to combat her multiple sclerosis.

Former Network TV Producer Disgusted by Andrea Mitchell Wawa Edits: 'I'm Done' Denying Liberal Bias

Newsbusters- via Lucianne  "Greg Kandra, a blogger and Catholic deacon whose last job in network TV was at CBS working for Katie Couric, took to his Deacon's Bench blog to lament the sorry, biased state of TV news as NBC's Andrea Mitchell attempted to edit Mitt Romney's remarks at a Wawa convenience store into a "supermarket scanner moment"  that would make him look like an out-of-touch rich guy.
"I used to defend the networks and tut-tut liberal bias, he wrote, but no more. "Forget it," he said, "I'm done. You deserve what they're saying about you." "

White House, 'Washington Post' Coordinate Another Anti-Romney Attack  "The media coordinating with one another to create and control narratives that benefit Obama is in and of itself corrupt. After all, these outlets are all supposed to be in competition with one another and yet they all cover the same stories in the same way. Hmm…?

"There is something worse, though, and that's when the media coordinates with the Obama campaign, which is something the fallen Washington Post has been caught doing once again."

Not too fast, but furious

David Brooks: Obama’s use of executive privilege politically ‘stupid,’ ‘a winner’ for the GOP 

" “I think politically it’s stupid, because it is one thing if you’re invoking executive privilege over some national security issue. This is a policy everybody admits was profoundly stupid. Why are you not saying, ‘OK, this was a stupid policy, let’s get it out there and let’s figure out how it came about.’”

"Later in the segment, Brooks said the GOP was wise to use this against the administration to score political points.

" “I think it is a winner for the Republicans,” "

Why not just leak the Fast and Furious documents?  "If Justice Department documents that Issa’s committee seeks from Attorney General Eric Holder had been the subject of a top-secret meeting in the White House Situation Room, their contents already would have been splashed across the media. Issa could read the A1 New York Times story and be done with it."
