Mr. Obama & John Kerry's Foreign Policy Blunders Continue

In his fight against our #1 enemy, Climate Change, Mr. Obama drew a red line on the weather map, but the storm went right across it...WH Press Secretary Tweet (satire)




I've often written in the past that Mr. Obama erased his red lines only to be replaced by red lines soaked in blood. Unfortunately, my observations of this administration's failed foreign policy have usually been right on target. 

As most of the world now knows, under Obama, the United States is no longer feared or respected. The evidence is overwhelming. For example, when the Iran Deal was finally negotiated, many of us knew---almost instinctively---it would be a huge blunder.  Last Sunday, Iran announced it had tested a new precision-guided, long-range missile. Yesterday, Iran broadcast footage of an underground missile facility. The facility houses launcher units as well as missiles.

Several weeks ago, the Obama administration touted its new relationship with Cuba. This week, it's being reported that the Cuban military sent troops to Syria to help Russia and Assad fight Syrians rebels. Now ponder this. These are many Syrian rebel troops we're supplied in the past. As I wrote just a few days ago, Putin appears to have outflanked Obama again.

And then there's John Kerry's insult of Israel. It's his State Department's official position that both sides should restore calm. Yes, both sides. In the last two weeks, Israelis have been dealing with random stabbings, shootings, fire-bombings and even cars ramming Israeli pedestrians on the street. In one very disturbing video, pedestrians are struck down by an SUV at a bus stop. As a Rabbi lay dying, a thug jumped out of the vehicle and begin stabbing the Rabbis multiple times until an armed citizen showed up and took one of the terrorist out. By the way, from the pressititutes in our media? White Noise. And when they do report, they portray Israel as the aggressors as MSNBC did earlier this week and as its done in the past. But they are not alone. This from the IDF (Israel's Defense Force):

  • Oct. 15: Attacker stabs Israeli citizen near Jerusalem bus stop. Assailant shot on site (by the way, my favorite phrase)
  • Oct. 13: Assailant runs over and stabs four civilians at bus stop in Jerusalem. Attacker shot on site. There as an earlier attack that day at a bus stop in Jerusalem. Attackers were shot on site.
  • On the same day, a rocket landed in the Golan Heights.
  • Oct. 12: Assailant attacks Israeli soldier and civilian at a bus stop. Assailant shot on site.
You get the picture. This has been going on for over a week now. And to add insult to injury, the UN always sides with the thugs and not with Israel. And if you recall, Israel pulled out of southern Lebanon in early 2000 and Gaza in 2005. What's the outcome? Those areas now have 1000's of missiles aimed at Israel. It's as if America and the UN want Israel wiped off the face of the map. After all, in the past seven or more years, this administration has been cradling our enemies while antagonizing our allies.

CNN Debate: Questions That Should Be Asked (But Probably Won't Be)

By show of hands, who is not subject of an FBI criminal investigation?...David Burge Tweet



Yesterday, I posted a piece speculating that Mr. Obama threw Hillary Clinton overboard in his "60 Minutes" interview last Sunday. In fact, when he answered those questions, one can almost see Clinton yelling at her TV screen: "WTF Barack?" as she slugged down another gin and tonic.

On a personal note, I find it insulting to the American public that Clinton,  with so much corrupt baggage, is still in the campaign let alone debating.

Donald Trump said he will be Tweeting throughout the debate. Any bets his Tweets will far out-trending those of CNN?

If I had the opportunity, I would pose the following questions to the "diverse" group of Democrat candidates at tonight's CNN debate (Note: I will hat-tip those I found rather interesting and humorous on Twitter designating each with a T and the Twitter Account):

  • Burge's Tweet above should lead the debating questions.
  • Mrs. Clinton: Why did you have a private server? Moreover, why didn't you let Mr. Obama---your boss and immediate supervisor---know you had a private server?
  • Mr. Sanders: You proclaim yourself a Socialist. Can you point to any time in history that Socialism has worked?
  • To the entire panel: Do you know you're all white? (Hey! Just sayin')
  • Gov. Chafee: What the hell are you doing here anyway?
  • To the entire panel: How many guns do you own? T-Jon Martin
  • Gov. O'Malley: Did you kiss and make-up with Debbie Wasserman Schultz yet?
  • Sen. Webb: Your military career was outstanding having been awarded the Navy Cross and Silver Star---What are you doing hanging around with these losers?
  • To the entire panel: What position will Bowie Bergdahl have in your administration? T-ArtistUnplugged
  • Mrs. Clinton: At what exact age is an unborn child finally too old to harvest it's corpse's organs for a Lamborghini? T-Razor
  • Mr. Sanders: Why a Socialist? Why not just declare yourself a Communist?
  • Mr. Clinton: Boxers, briefs or Depends? T-God's Comic Relief
  • Gov. Chafee: Never mind.
  • Gov. O'Malley: Why did you apologize for proclaiming "All Lives Matter?"
  • Mrs. Clinton: What color flip-flops do you prefer?
  • To the entire panel: Are you concerned by all the white privilege on the stage tonight? T-Jonah Goldberg
  • Mr. Sanders: What's your opinion on women fantasizing about being raped simultaneously by 3 men? (Hey! You wrote it. Don't blame me).
  • Mrs. Clinton: Do you know where Bill is at this very moment?
Perhaps Fred Zeppelin's Tweet summarizes the outcome of tonight's debate best: "There will be no winners or losers at the #CNNDebate Tuesday, but the candidates each will receive a trophy for participating."

On "60 Minutes," Did Obama Pave Biden's Driveway Into The Democrat Campaign?

Yesterday was the Clinton's wedding anniversary. Bill, as usual, celebrated by making love all night. But he did call Hillary right afterward...WH Press Secretary Tweet (satire)



Full disclosure. I did not watch the "60 Minutes" interview with Obama. I have a hard time listening to most of the progressive political class speaking on almost any issue. But when I feel I must, I wrap my head in tin foil so their conspicuous lies, deceptions and stupidity (e.g. Pelosi, Wasserman, etc. to name a few) don't penetrate my brain.

But I did read most of the transcript of that interview. There were many points that jumped out at me. The one that caught my attention was Obama's responses to Hillary Clinton's many scandals. For example:

  • He said he was not aware of Clinton using a private server in her home when she was Secretary of State. 
  • He also stated that her using the private server was a "mistake."
  • And while he said her use of that private server did not cause any "national security problems," she still needs to answer questions regarding the use of that private server.
Those responses and others lead me (and I'm certain many others) to believe Obama does not support her bid to be president. I would also venture to guess when he heard about her use of a private server, he was not a happy camper.  In fact, with all of the whispers-down-the-lane regarding Biden's entering the race, perhaps Obama just paved Biden's driveway to enter the campaign.

It's been an open secret inside the D.C. Beltway for a long time that the Obama doesn't particularly like the Clinton's and vice versa. The NY Post recently reported that Hillary actually confronted Obama and yelled at him to "call off your f*cking dogs, Barack." via the book entitled, Unlikeable: The Problem With Hillary. Moreover, perhaps Hillary Clinton's falling poll numbers (10 points in one week according to the Reuters/Ipsos Poll released last Friday) gave Obama the "green light" to take her out.

Of course, all of this is speculation. If Biden does not enter the race (although CNN reported he can jump into the debates any time he wants), whose left for the Democrats to support?  Only die-hard Lefties know and support Bernie Sanders. Most Americans don't even know  Martin O'Malley (former Governor of Maryland), Jim Webb (former VA Senator) and Lincoln Chafee (former RI Governor). In other words, if Hillary Clinton is not taken out, she will be the Democrat candidate for president.  Quite frankly, lies, deceptions and unethical behavior have always been a badge of honor for progressive Democrats. She's still a hero to those who espouse that warped ideology.

Jonah Goldberg summarized Hillary Clinton best when he recently wrote: "...Clinton is unencumbered by any principles that might prove inconvenient to her political ambitions." To put it another way, Goldberg just described the perfect progressive politician.
