And Obama's new coalition partner is...

"A senior member of al Qaida urged Libyan rebels to continue their fight against Muammar Gaddafi and warned of the consequences of defeat, in a videotaped message posted on Jihadi websites, the Qatar-based Gulf News reported on Sunday."

Obama said: "The Libyan people have suffered at the hands of Gaddafi for more than 40 years ... He used the Libyans as a testing ground for his violent, rambling and disgusting thoughts"

Oh wait. No, that was Abu Yahya al-Libi that said that, not Obama. Sorry. Embarrassed. shocked

Just whose side are we on anyway?

Posted By david elosser

I'm really not trying to be sarcastic here. I'm genuinely a bit confused. I recognize that Gadaffi is no saint, definately a bad guy. But we are attacking Gadaffi and his forces in support of who?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8407047/Libyan-rebel-commander-admits-his-fighters-have-al-Qaeda-links.html
"...jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq are on the front lines of the battle against Muammar Gaddafi's regime."Is Obama's strategy to help al-Qaeda? Surely it cannot be. But look at who the rebel commander, the very guy we are helping, is:
"Mr al-Hasidi admitted he had earlier fought against "the foreign invasion" [i.e., us] in Afghanistan, before being "captured in 2002 in Peshwar, in Pakistan". He was later handed over to the US, and then held in Libya before being released in 2008." And this al-Hasisi said in a news interview: "members of al-Qaeda are also good Muslims and are fighting against the invader". The invader? Who is he talking about? Now, is Obama really helping a group of violent radical Islamists or is there something I'm missing here?

Katie bar the door

" Couric realized what many skeptics had predicted, that a 22-minute newscast was confining and gave her little opportunity to showcase her interviewing and ad libbing talents."

Yes, I'm sure dragging CBS's ratings through the gutter has nothing to do with it. wink

Exodus 2000

Posted By david elosser

Well, some weeks ago one of the excuses, uh, reasons President Pax Obama told us for opening up a third front in Libya was to prevent a mass exodus of refugees into neighboring countries, especially those like Egypt where they might destabilize the already shaky political landscape. Well.... guess what?...

A half a million people are leaving Libya by land, around 200,000 into Egypt, and at least 200 people are feared drowned trying to leave by sea. This is some rescue, Obama!

He's the fifth, I think, economic advisor to jump Obama's ship. Interesting, but Obama's only original economic appointee left is the tax cheat. wink

Meanwhile, can this woman possibly get any whackier? Naaaaw! And she's in charge of our national security! 8O "Napolitano: No "Logic" In Profiling Muslim Men Under The Age Of 35" (but patting down 6-year-old girls is okay, of course! :S )

The Saudis are giving away money for free hoping to avoid an overthrow (at the moment, doesn't look like that's working for Obama though):

And just how rediculously desparate can the Main-Streem-Media get over Sarah Palin? "Over 24,000 e-mail messages to and from former Alaska governor Sarah Palin during her tenure as Alaska's governor will be released Friday. That's a lot of e-mail for us to review so we're looking for some help from Fix readers to analyze, contextualize, and research those e-mails right alongside Post reporters over the days following the release." Hey Chris, are you sure your readers understand such big words as "analyze," "contextualize," and "research?" wink

And Hillary Clinton as head of the World Bank???? shocked

Another famous Obama quote:

"But we can't simply cut our way to prosperity,"

Sooo, Obama spending more of our money that we don't have makes us all more prosterous. Gosh, I didn't know that!

Napolitano requires elderly woman to remove her...

Posted By david elosser

A TSA agent, working on behalf of the Obama administration through the auspices of Homeland Security, asked an elderly woman in a wheelchair to remove her diaper.
Her daughter is filing the complaint: "I’m not one to make waves, but dadgummit, this is wrong. People need to know. Next time it could be you." (Emphasis mine.)

This is some strategy!

Posted By david elosser

"Speaking at a Tea Party bus tour event in Indianola, Gingrich said mass resignations among his campaign staff stemmed from his "fundamental disagreement" with consultants...A former aide said the differences mainly involved the staff view that Gingrich should campaign heavily in the early primary states and Gingrich's view that he should instead go on a Greek cruise with his wife."

I can see it now: Obama and Gingrich in a presidential debate arguing over who takes the most vacations. 8O
