Sudan & Obama’s Legacy of Death


FRONTPAGEMAG.COM  ...."Today, “more than four years into his presidency, President Obama continues to oversee a disastrous approach to the ongoing genocide in Sudan,” says Act for Sudan. “This approach has failed to prevent the tragic loss of countless lives and the mass displacement and starvation of countless more innocent people. Unless President Obama ACTS NOW to protect innocent civilians from their genocidal government, he will ultimately be remembered for his stained legacy on genocide,” Act for Sudan warns."
In 2007, President Obama stated on the campaign trail:
“When you see a genocide in Rwanda, Bosnia or in Darfur, that is a stain on all of us, a stain on our souls. . . . We can’t say ‘never again’ and then allow it to happen again, and as a president of the United States I don’t intend to abandon people or turn a blind eye to slaughter.”
...."A personal letter from Mohamed Suleiman to President Obama:"

Fifty years from now, it will be incomprehensible to those who will learn the history of genocides that you sat as an American president for two terms, and allowed al-Bashir, the mastermind and executioner of the Darfur genocide, the first sitting head of state indicted by the International Criminal Court for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, to continue to commit these terrible crimes. History will remember that you failed to stop the killing, displacement, rapes and other destructive consequences called genocide by the U.S. Congress and by you.

But he acknowledges his intellectual debt in  using the term."

"God help Israel, because the "to hell with them" crowd probably won't want to."

Big Oops – Business Insider says Reince Preibus did not say self-deportation “racist”

Legal Insurrection  "In my post this morning RNC “self-deporting” enthusiasm out of the Republican base I noted that Reince Preibus was quoted by Business Insider as follows:
“Using the word ‘self-deportation’ — it’s a horrific comment to make,” Priebus said, in a forceful rebuke. “I don’t think it has anything to do with our party. When someone makes those comments, obviously, it’s racist.” 
"I was wondering how the RNC Chair could make such a comment since the policy was in the GOP 2012 Platform and the term used by Mitt Romney.
So I contacted the RNC press office before turning my post live, and the press office confirmed by email that the quote was “accurate.”  (added)  Here was my email to the RNC’s press contact at 8:55 a.m.:"....

The Gov...er, the Candy Man Can

Muslims to hold protest march on DC . . . on September 11th!


"We all swore We Would NEVER Forget the most horrific day of our lifetime when we saw our fellow Americans brutally murdered, right here on American soil.  Right here in America, where we hold our children and our families so dear and precious, so many were taken from us by a brutal enemy in a far off land who celebrated their savagery upon us.
"9/11 should NOT be a day for a Million Muslim March, NO!  My blood boils at the thought of this!  My heart hurts for all the 9/11 families who lost their loved ones on 9/11! If we as Americans allow these Million Muslims to march for their “rights” on this  most sacred day without an appropriate action, then we allow these families and all who have sacrificed to be brutalized again!....
 

I got him! Bush couldn't do it, but I did!

Hope n' Change   "According to a video interview with presidential body man and alleged "friend with benefits," Reggie Love,  Barack Obama left the situation room during the Seal Team Six raid on Bin Laden's compound, preferring to play Spades. For hours.

"Despite his reelection claims that he pretty much personally put a high hot one through Bin Laden's eyehole, Barry actually told Love " I’m not going to be down there, I can’t watch this entire thing." Nope, not when there are card games to be played."
...."So if President Obama "was this bored by the Bin Laden mission, imagine his complete indifference to a little thing like Benghazi. There are still no reports whatsoever about what the hell he was doing while Americans were dying, although we do know from the tragic results that it was nothing even remotely presidential."....

"President Obama insists that he’s not a dictator or a king, but if Congress won’t act he will. How’s that work? He picks and chooses the laws he likes. In a speech last week he claimed the right to unilaterally “tweak” the Affordable Care Act because this is not a “normal political environment” – meaning Congress won’t do what he wants.
"Funny, he didn’t have any trouble getting Congress’s cooperateration when they tweaked the law to subsidize the health care government workers must now buy through the exchanges. No one else earning$175,000 gets a subsidy.
George Will offers a pithy analysis of Obama’s Nixonian tendencies here:"
Political Cartoons by Gary Varvel
Obama’s unconstitutional steps worse than Nixon’s  "President Obama’s increasingly grandiose claims for presidential power are inversely proportional to his shriveling presidency. Desperation fuels arrogance as, barely 200 days into the 1,462 days of his second term, his pantry of excuses for failure is bare, his domestic agenda is nonexistent and his foreign policy of empty rhetorical deadlines and red lines is floundering. And at last week’s news conference he offered inconvenience as a justification for illegality."...
....
"Serving as props in the scripted charade of White House news conferences, journalists did not ask the pertinent question: “Where does the Constitution confer upon presidents the ‘executive authority’ to ignore the separation of powers by revising laws?” The question could have elicited an Obama rarity: brevity. Because there is no such authority."....    (Emphasis added, TD)

Obama's Quality of Leadership

American Thinker   "Egypt is vital strategically to U.S. interests and security in the Middle East.  Yet the United States stands by, powerless, as mayhem reigns there and instability simmers dangerously elsewhere.  What has happened to our influence in the world?  A clue can be found in President Barack Obama's own words, his recent response to Russia's grant of asylum to NSA-leaker Edward Snowden:"....
....
"Instead, we have a president whose attitude in a crisis seems to be one of pettiness, detachment and petulance."
There's that word, "petulant" again.

...."And our enemies?  Leaders like Vladimir Putin are not beguiled by charisma.  Obama's promised "Russian reset," now a shambles, was always a fantasy, a delusion.  It is not difficult to imagine the Russian president, perhaps while out hunting bear, chuckling in amazement at the weakness of the ostensible "Leader of the Free World."  Amazement that is sadly echoed around the world."

Oversight Putsch: President Obama Fired Nearly All Members On Key Intelligence Advisory Board

Atlas Shrugs  "Once again, President Obama's contempt and disdain for the American people is glaring, this time in his claims that he had a serious revamp of the NSA's surveillance activity in his priorities before the Snowden leaks happened. Another big fat lie. He was ramping up the spying, while cutting back on the oversight and review.
"The more authoritarian the President is, the more sycophantic the enemedia is around this cult figure. "
....
“They kicked me off,” said former Rep. Lee Hamilton (D-Ind.). “I was on it a long time under Bush and under Obama. They wanted to make some changes.”

"Hamilton's ouster is particularly interesting, given that just a month ago, he wrote an oped piece about how the NSA's surveillance efforts have gone too far. Seems like he'd be handy to have on this committee reviewing the NSA surveillance, no?"....

On school choice, Damon's actions speak louder than words

Orange County Register  "Matt Damon, the most outspoken celebrity supporter of public schools and teachers unions, is moving to Los Angeles and enrolling his four children in private schools.

"Damon told Britain's The Guardian, which broke the Edward Snowden/NSA story (apparently, American journalism has been outsourced overseas), "Sending our kids in my family to private school was a big, big deal. And it was a giant family discussion. But it was a circular conversation, really, because ultimately we don't have a choice."

"Actually, he has money and can send his kids to school anywhere, so he does have a choice. Damon wants to deny the rest of America school choice by opposing the voucher system."

Booby trap! Islamic breast bomb threat at Heathrow airport

By Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs   "All kidding aside, how is  the Obama administration and the TSA going to make us pay? Clearly, these are Muslim women but we can't profile (it might offend Muslims and that would violate the sharia.)
"So now what? Can we expect our daughters, sisters, wives to be felt up and sexually haraassed by goons and maroons? Whatever idiotic response is instituted, rest assured the actual enemy, the jihadic motive will remain sacrosanct. The sanction of the victim."
