"Well, look, we — we have seen, in the past, rampages of this sort. And in a country of 300 million people, there are going to be acts of violence that are inexplicable. Even within the extraordinary military that we have — and I think everybody understands how outstanding the young men and women in uniform are under the most severe stress —there are going to be instances in which an individual cracks.I think the questions that we’re asking now and we don’t have yet complete answers to is, is this an individual who’s acting in this way or is it some larger set of actors? You know, what are the motivations? Those are all questions that I think we have to ask ourselves. Until we have these answers buttoned down, I’d rather not comment on it."
This is what our clueless leader had to say regarding the Fort Hood massacre last Thursday.
His apologetic tone is enough to make me want to punch myself in the face.
Shame on him, yet again.
I guess Hasan just went postal!
According to Obama, the stress of the war took it's toll on the poor guy.
Although Hasan had never actually been deployed, just the stress of hearing about the war was enough to make him mow down our soldiers.
It makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
The guy wasn't a radical Muslim, he cracked under the pressure.
I guess the fact that he yelled "Alluha Akbar" prior to slaughtering 13 AMERICAN SOLDIERS isn't significant enough for President Obama to mention.
With no due respect, shut your mouth Mr. President.
The only campaign promises you have yet to keep, were taking Michelle out for date night and getting the kids a dog.
I think I speak for a lot of Americans when I say, you don't get to weigh in on this if you are going to sympathize with a radical Muslim terrorist.
So Republican candidate Dee Dee Scozzafava realizes she can't go the distance in the NY-23 special election, and decides to take herself out of the running.
Fair enough, I guess.
Within 24 hours of resigning she comes out with an endorsement for the Democratic candidate, Bill Owens.
Huh?
I guess Dee Dee's way of getting over her loss is to get under the opposite party?
Incredibly disloyal, or just a simple case of sour grapes?
Either way, I am calling bullsh@t on her. As my Nana used to say, "Something is rotten in Denmark".
This is what Dee Dee said in her resignation, and yet within 24 hours is out stumping for Democrat Bill Owens.
"It is increasingly clear that pressure is mounting on many of my supporters to shift their support. Consequently, I hereby release those individuals who have endorsed and supported my campaign to transfer their support as they see fit to do so. I am and have always been a proud Republican. It is my hope that with my actions today, my Party will emerge stronger and our District and our nation can take an important step towards restoring the enduring strength and economic prosperity that has defined us for generations."
Now, I am not saying Dee Dee Scozzafava is corrupt, or maybe I am, but she is backed by the ACORN-allied Working Family Party.
Nuf said?
Or do I need to point out that she was the only Republican that supported Big Labor's favorite organizing bill, card check, and the stimulus? And did I mention she has ties to ACORN?
Shit Aint Right America!
Could someone have gotten to Scozzafava? Maybe it was one of those Black Panther dudes?
Either way, the Long Legged Mack Daddy Two Tongued Tyrant, needed a Republican to throw this race in order to save face. As mad as hell as I am at Scuzzafava, it was still a glorious day for Republican's yesterday. Oh, what a difference a year makes!
It's day's like yesterday that make all my ranting worth while. Thank you VA & NJ!
It is because of Dee Dee Scozzafava's disloyalty and lack of integrity that I am posting this clip.
And also because I love Rush Limbaugh and feel like it.
Under Mao Tse-Tung's reign 34 million people were killed?
Isn't that like... 13 million more than were killed under Hitler?
Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned him in the same breath as Mother Theresa, I'll admit it, but why does that damn FOX News have to draw so much attention to what we say and who we associate ourselves with.
NO- this is not a photoshopped image, it's an actual flag.
YES- the last time I checked it was still a crime to deface an American Flag, but don't bother, you'll just be called a racist.
I don't even know what to say.
This is as terrifying to me as it is offensive.
It's bad enough that I was forced to listen to the left blaspheming about him being the Messiah, but now this?
Have they no shame at all?
I want my Country back.
Barack Obama has taken the "us" out of the US, and made it all about himself. He is an egomaniacal liability to the rest of us, and our Country. Shit Aint Right America, it aint RIGHT!
Sima Samar, women's rights activist in Afghanistan: "With dogged persistence and at great personal risk, she kept her schools and clinics open in Afghanistan even during the most repressive days of the Taliban regime, whose laws prohibited the education of girls past the age of eight. When the Taliban fell, Samar returned to Kabul and accepted the post of Minister for Women's Affairs."
"Dr. Denis Mukwege: Doctor, founder and head of Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo. He has dedicated his life to helping Congolese women and girls who are victims of gang rape and brutal sexual violence."
Handicap International and Cluster Munition Coalition: "These organizations are recognized for their consistently serious efforts to clean up cluster bombs, also known as land mines. Innocent civilians are regularly killed worldwide because the unseen bombs explode when stepped upon."
"Hu Jia, a human rights activist and an outspoken critic of the Chinese government, who was sentenced last year to a three-and-a-half-year prison term for 'inciting subversion of state power.'" "Wei Jingsheng, who spent 17 years in Chinese prisons for urging reforms of China's communist system. He now lives in the United States."
I just went to this link and, in the "Type your nominee here!" field, entered "Barack Obama." The winner of this Nissan-sponsored promotion will actually receive one official vote for the Heisman award as sort of the people's choice.
You can actually go back and vote once each day between now and the Heisman award in December
So let me get this straight. All in a matter of a few weeks Obama appoints a NAMBLA supporter as Safe School Czar, our Hollywood elite sign a petition stating that drugging and sodomizing a minor should not be punishable by law if you are a movie producer, and Michelle Obama gushes to the IOC about being 20 years old and sitting on her Daddy's lap while watching Carl Lewis at the Olympics? Did I wake up in some bizarre parallel universe where the lack of sexual boundaries with children is suddenly OK? Is it suddenly Chic? Is Pedophilia the new black? Now, anyone that knows me knows I have no problem flying my freak flag. Words like prude and modest don't usually make the list of adjectives used when describing my sexual antics- but this folks, this is just down right creepynasty with Barack Obama as Creepy Rasputin (check your Urban Dictionary).
Has everyone lost their damn minds?
It's one thing when our president spends a bunch of money he doesn't have, or spends more time hob-nobbing with prime time television hosts (like that sexually-harassing-in-the-work-place David Letterman), then speaking to our Generals fighting in the front lines of our war in Afghanistan, but even this shit makes Michael Jackson roll over in his grave.
"We started in 2001 to try and reign in Fannie and Freddie. We spent four years doing it. We got a bill through the Senate Finance Committee on a party line vote to reign in Fannie and Freddie in 2005 and one of the first things Barack Obama did when he came in to the United States senate was, because he was the third largest recipient of Fannie and Freddie money he joined a filibuster of every democrat led by Senator Chris Dodd to block that measure from being brought to the floor of the United States Senate. Three years later in September 2008 President Obama, then candidate Obama, voted for the same bill he could have voted for three years ago after Fannie and Freddie collapsed. So don't tell me that we didn't try to do something during the Bush years to reign in the housing problem. We were the people who said let us subject Fannie and Freddie to the same kind of scrutiny that we subject banks, savings and loans and credit unions and it was candidate Obama who refused to join that effort, that would have kept this from being an accelerant to a worldwide financial crisis."
True. President Bush publicly called for the reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 17 times in 2008 alone before Congress acted. Democrats, on the other hand, blocked reform numerous times.
The democrats are meeting today to figure out how they are going to discipline Rep. Joe Wilson for calling Obama a liar during his speech to the nation last week.
Do they all have amnesia, or are they really that hypocritical?
Have they all forgotten the past 8 years of Bush- Bashing?
Rep. Pete Stark, the ass-hat that he is, called Bush a liar, accused him of murder, and used the Bush girls as pawns in his argument when addressing congress- but that was just par for the course I guess. Before Obama.
Before Obama, it was standard operating procedure to insult our president.
If this country had a dollar for every "Bush lied, people died" bumper sticker we could balance the budget, for crying out loud!
Funny how before Obama, protesting was our right as American citizens, now it's unpatriotic.
The democrats called everyone from George Bush to General Petraeus a liar, get over it.
If the shoe fits folks, he has to wear it. It's part of his job description.
The TRUTH is, he lied, and kudos to Joe Wilson for not sitting there and letting him blow more smoke up his ass.
Transparency? The hypocrisy makes me want to punch myself in the face.
I am off to vote! Remember folks- 1223 days left to take back our country!
It was a beautiful sight, 2 million protesters out there on 9-12, letting the new administration know,
"Shit aint right America".
The US is still the greatest country on God's Earth, and I am so grateful that I didn't lose faith in that on Nov 4th 2008. We will get our country back from this poser, and this time in America's history will be remembered, not for the fact that we elected a half-rican American, but for the simple fact that we, the American people, stood for what is right.

I keep hearing and seeing the phrase "We Must Never Forget", and I have to say it is a bit bewildering to me.
I have not forgotten nor do I need to be encouraged to remember.
The ones that elected a president who claims "Victory over the terrorists isn't really our objective", those are the people that need that slogan slapped across their heads today, not me.
These are the same people that elected a president who picks White House advisors that say things like "America got what was coming to us on 9-11" and that "The United States is a terrorist country"
The people that need to be reminded to remember, are the same people that revile George W Bush as a war criminal, when in fact he kept us safe from further attacks.
And FOR THE RECORD- turned Iraq and Afghanistan from mortal enemies to nominal allies.
Right now, something is happening in America that, try as they might, the liberal media can't stop simply by distorting it or by ignoring it.
I'm talking about the surging opposition to President Obama's plans to "remake" America (his word) from an independent republic of freedom-loving, self-reliant citizens into a Euro-socialist nanny state.
Call it a backlash. Call it a counter-revolution. Call it a conservative comeback. Call it what you will -- but it's real, it's massive, and it's about to boil over into something liberals can't deny any longer.
How do I know? Because it's my job, as editor in chief of Read, Right and Blew, to report on things that the liberal media won't.
And everywhere my staff and I look these days we see the signs of this extraordinary political uprising...
IN THE POLLS showing a sudden and dramatic erosion in President Obama's approval ratings -- and an even steeper, faster decline in support for his neo-socialist policies
ON THE STREETS of mainstream America where "tea party" tax protests and other expressions of populist outrage are spreading like wildfire from town to town, city to city nationwide
IN STATEHOUSES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS where voters are forcing legislators -- by popular referendum if necessary -- to roll back the tax-and-spend policies that have brought so many states and localities to the brink of bankruptcy
ON THE AIRWAVES where conservative TV and radio personalities such as Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity are soaring to new heights of popularity -- while the ratings for liberals like Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman are plummeting
ON THE BESTSELLER LISTS where books like Mark Levin's " Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto" and "Glenn Beck's Common Sense" have dominated for months, outselling liberal tomes by hundreds of thousands
AND EVEN, AT LONG LAST, IN CONGRESS where, after years of selling out conservative principles, a small but growing number of Republicans are loudly voicing and voting those principles once again -- despite the loud complaints of the liberal media.
*Not to mention yelling out "you lie!" at joint sessions.
What's driving this extraordinary phenomenon? In a word -- outrage!
After trusting Barack Obama's soothing promises, and the media's constant reassurances, that once in office he would "transcend" partisan politics, Americans quickly realized they had elected the most radical leftist ever to serve as President of the United States.
They also realized that for all Obama's talk of "transparency" and "accountability," his administration was creating the conditions for a level of political sleaze, corruption and back-room wheeling-and-dealing far worse than anything Washington has seen in a very long time.
And now that the gap between Obama's smooth-talking rhetoric and his actual performance has finally become plain to anyone but the most besotted of his admirers, Americans have had enough.
They have had enough of the out-of-control spending on bailouts and "stimulus" that have sent the federal deficit soaring to $1.8 trillion for 2009 alone -- and even higher down the road -- threatening to bankrupt our nation, destroy our currency, and impoverish our descendents for generations to come
They have had enough of Obama's crusade to replace private healthcare with a government-run system that will empower federal bureaucrats to make life-and-death decisions about your medical care -- and that will put all your private medical records in a government database (don't worry, they promise never to use them to harm you)
They have had enoughof Obama's proposed tax hikes and tax "surcharges" to pay for all his spending programs that will drive U.S. tax rates higher even than the welfare-state economies of Europe (New Yorkers, for instance, could face a combined federal-state income tax rate of nearly 60 percent)
They have had enough of the appalling rogue's gallery of crooks, cronies, tax cheats, and political big-spending leftists that Obama has appointed to the highest levels of our government -- while firing or abruptly "retiring" official government watchdogs who have blown the whistle on his cronies and their schemes
They have had enoughof the outrageous threats to investigate and prosecute Bush-era anti-terrorist agents and officials for the heroic work they did in keeping our country safe
They have had enough of the endless procession of unelected "czars" President Obama has appointed -- 32 at last count! -- to bring one sector after another of our economy and government under his direct control (come to think of it, why don't we just call him "Czar Obama"?)
They have had enough, in short, of how President Obama and his allies are rapidly destroying so much of what has made our country prosperous and free -- while arrogating to themselves a degree of power that would make Hugo Chavez blush. And what about you, my friend? Have you had enough? Are you ready to join the swelling ranks of Americans who are determined to put a stop to this madness? Are you ready to add your voice to theirs in demanding an end to this assault on our liberties... an end to this era of fiscal insanity... an end to this government "of the cronies, by the cronies, and for the cronies"?
And what about you, my friend? Have you had enough? Are you ready to join the swelling ranks of Americans who are determined to put a stop to this madness? Are you ready to add your voice to theirs in demanding an end to this assault on our liberties... an end to this era of fiscal insanity... an end to this government "of the cronies, by the cronies, and for the cronies"?
If you are -- if you are among those who refuse to tolerate even for one more day what is happening in our nation's capital, then I have only one thing to ask of you...
Gotta love Rep. Joe Wilson, who called out "you lie!"in the midst of President Obama’s speech before the joint session of Congress.
I would have loved it if the whole place erupted into a bunch of those juvenile "Bullsh@t" coughs, but what can you do? One "you lie!" will have to suffice.
Then Obama went after Palin in his address to the joint session.
Really? Didn't she step down?
Leave it to Obama to bring up the past, or Palin, to get the focus off his own real agenda?
What did Palin have to say?
I'm pleased that the White House is finally responding to Republican
health care ideas instead of pretending they don't exist.[1] But in doing so President Obama should follow his own sound advice and avoid making "wild misrepresentations".[2] Medicare vouchers would give everyone on Medicare the chance to decide for themselves which health plan to use, rather than leave that decision to government bureaucrats. Such proposals are the kind of health care reform that Republicans stand for: market-oriented, patient-centered, and result-driven.
The White House talking points leave the rest of my arguments unanswered. They don't respond to the idea that all individuals should get the same tax benefits received by those who get coverage through their employers; that we must reform our tort laws; and that we should allow Americans to buy insurance across state lines. The White House also fails to respond to the Nyce/Schieber study indicating that wages will fall if the government expands coverage without reducing health care inflation rates.
One last thing: after President Obama's speech tonight, listen for which pundits use the words "false", "scary", and "risky" in describing the proposals I put forward. That's how you'll be able to tell who the White House counted as "allies" worthy of receiving its talking points.
