Hey Obama, Sgt. Friday called. He’s on to your Clapper Caper.

Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, has apparently been assigned to take the fall for Benghazigate; you know - the trumped-up scandal about your government lying to you about terrorism, al Queda and hateful movie trailers?

I’m not positive butt I think this debriefing may lead to Clapper’s downfall :

It became painfully obvious that we were going to need a fall guy after this harsh WSJ editorial:

In his United Nations speech on Tuesday, President Obama talked about the September 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya and declared that "there should be no doubt that we will be relentless in tracking down the killers and bringing them to justice." What he didn't say is how relentless he'll be in tracking down the security lapses and intelligence failures that contributed to the murders. Let's say there's some doubt about that.

Then they go on to describe exactly just how much doubt:

None of the initial explanations offered by the White House and State Department since the assault on the Benghazi consulate has held up. (snip)

Administration officials also maintained that the diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt (snip) were properly defended and that the U.S. had no reason to prepare for any attack. "The office of the director of National Intelligence has said we have no actionable intelligence that an attack on our post in Benghazi was planned or imminent," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said last week, calling the security measures in place there "robust."

Cell phone video footage and witness testimony from Benghazi soon undercut the Administration trope of an angry march "hijacked" by a few bad people. As it turned out, the assault was well-coordinated, with fighters armed with guns, RPGs and diesel canisters, which were used to set the buildings on fire. (snip)

You'd think this admission would focus attention on why the compound was so vulnerable to begin with. But the Administration wants to avoid this conversation.(snip)

Journalists have stayed on the case, however, and their reporting is filling in the Administration's holes [!]. On Friday, our WSJ colleagues showed that starting in spring, U.S. intelligence had been worried about radical militias in eastern Libya. These armed groups helped topple Moammar Ghadhafi last year but weren't demobilized as a new government has slowly found its legs.(snip)

Deteriorating security was no secret. On April 10, for example, an explosive device was thrown at a convoy carrying U.N. envoy Ian Martin. On June 6, an improvised explosive device exploded outside the U.S. consulate. In late August, State warned American citizens who were planning to travel to Libya about the threat of assassinations and car bombings.

Despite all this, U.S. diplomatic missions had minimal security. (snip)

Imagine the uproar if, barely a month before Election Day, the Bush Administration had responded to a terrorist strike—on Sept. 11 no less—in this fashion. Obfuscating about what happened. Refusing to acknowledge that clear security warnings were apparently ignored. Then trying to shoot the messengers who bring these inconvenient truths to light in order to talk about anything but a stunning and deadly attack on U.S. sovereign territory.

Four Americans lost their lives in Benghazi in a terrorist attack that evidence suggests should have been anticipated and might have been stopped. Rather than accept responsibility, the Administration has tried to stonewall and blame others. Congress should call hearings to hold someone accountable for this debacle.

Have you ever read anything so racist in your whole life!?! That’s not just a dog whistle, it’s a whole Clapper. At least they didn’t mention anything about that embarrassingly groveling apology issued by our Egyptian Consulate.

I sure hope this horrible, irresponsible, racist report doesn’t result in any of those “blood on your hands” protests that were so popular during the Bush years.

condi blood on your hands protestorThat’s racist too, right?

Because that sure would be a buzz kill at our campaign stops.

peaceniks vote early and oftenEspecially the college stops where el studente for Peace vote early. And often.

So I guess heads will have to roll. We’ll be offering up Mr. Clapper first, in hopes that will ameliorate the lapdogs. If not, I’m afraid Susan Rice will be toast too. No. Not a chance Hilz will take a hit though: are you kidding me? The hardest working woman in the world? No way. She’s bullet proof, like Big Guy.

obama superhero

Clapper, on the other hand, Is gone. I think we’re going to blame him, too, for approving the sale of those 4 wind farms in Oregon to Chinese nationals (because they don’t have enough wind in China?) that BO had to rescind with an executive order late yesterday. It seems there was a little problem with the sale: all of the “farms” are within or in the vicinity of restricted air space of a Naval Weapons Systems Training Facility.  Whew! Dodged that national security bullet just in time too. Who ever would have thought to check that sort of thing out before signing the bill of sale anyway? What kind of National Intelligence do you people expect us to collect for a mere $60 billion a year?

Butt don’t worry, even though Big Guy’s too busy governing from the soap box to take a face-to-face with Bibi, or prepare for his debate with what’s his name, he’s still phoning it in:

bo phoning it in

And like the loyal and devoted spouse she is, Lady M is toophoning it in, that is. From the campaign trail.

That Breitbart, he was really a bomb thrower wasn’t he?

It’s Friday. Time for my last Friday of the month Trivia Contest:

Q. What do Bibi Netanyahu and Bill Ayers have in common?

  1. they were both rich white children of privilege raised in the suburbs of Chicago
  2. they were both on the FBI’s “10 Most Wanted” list
  3. they both went by the nickname “Boom Boom”  as young men.

A. # 3, They both went by the nickname “Boom Boom”  as young men!

      p__bill-ayersBenjamin_Netanyahu_young

William “Boom Boom” Ayers, left; Benjamin “Boom Boom” Netanyahu, right

For very different reasons and ideologies of course.

120927NetanyahuBadenov01

“I don’t regret setting bombs,” Bill Ayers said. ”I feel we didn’t do enough,”  the professor told the New York Times in 2002.

"If not now, then when?" the Prime Minister reportedly asked of American officials last weekend, following his statement the previous week: "The world tells Israel 'wait, there's still time. And I say, 'Wait for what? Wait until when?' Those in the international community who refuse to put red lines before Iran don't have a moral right to place a red light before Israel."

Beyond the nickname, they have absolutely nothing in common. Bibi would have the world draw red lines, (which set the state run media a twitter);

Ladies and gentlemen, the relevant question is not when Iran will get the bomb. The relevant question is at what stage can we no longer stop Iran from getting the bomb.

While Professor Ayers would, well… he can’t really say for certain:

…So, would Mr. Ayers do it all again, he is asked? ”I don’t want to discount the possibility,” he said.

because you never know; circumstances may warrant subversive action against the government again someday. Say, if Mitt Romney somehow manages to get elected and sides with BiBi.

Now, about that red line: we all remember from our discussion the other day how aggressive and threatening red ink is:

Red ink, you see, is believed to be too aggressive, and some worry that a paper covered in red markings could have a negative impact on students' self esteem. Instead, teachers have been asked to use a "gentler" color such as purple or green

Teachers like Prof. Ayers have banned the use of red for marking things, fearing it will demoralize and deter performance in the future. Of course, I think that was the whole point of Bibi’s cartoon bomb:

pb-120927-benjamin-netanyahu-un-126p_photoblog900Cutting the warhead off at the neck in a nick of time

Does anyone really see a problem with deterring the genocidal Islamic Extremists in Iran from annihilating Israel? I mean other than the big brained professors?  And maybe Big Guy?

I sure don’t see a down side, because once you hand somebody a lit bomb, it’s really hard to get rid of it, as any fan of Batman knows.

We Will Know You by the Friends You Keep

All around the country inquiring minds are asking: “Who is this president of ours, who has declared war on freedom of speech instead of on the Islamic terrorists who burned our embassy and killed our ambassador?”

To find out I would highly recommend Dinesh D'Souza's film (while it’s still available for viewing in this country) 2016.

Or you could read BO’s first autobiography, Dreams From My Father. He tells you in his own words:

“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully.”

In summary then, if we are to define Big Guy by the friends he keeps I guess we’d have to say he’s a Marxist anti-Semitic Jihadist feminist. I don’t see how he can possibly lose to that Romney guy, do you?

Hey Obama! Orwell called. He wants 1984 back.

Between tapings and fundraisers on Tuesday, Big Guy found time to go to the UN to condemn THE MOVIE that he blamed for Ambassador Steven’s death before he voted against blaming it. Unclear what his current position is.

bo un assembly2'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.' 1984

BO condemned THE MOVIE that wasn’t responsible for the embassy burning and murders by using his unique oratorical skill (i.e.,TOTUS) and employing one of his most affective stylistic flourishes: making it all about him:

“Like me, the majority of Americans are Christian, [ed., news to Madonna, who like many others believe him to be a “Black Muslim”] and yet we do not ban blasphemy against our most sacred beliefs," he said.

"As President of our country, and Commander-in-Chief of our military, I accept that people are going to call me awful things every day, and I will always defend their right to do so. Americans have fought and died around the globe to protect the right of all people to express their views--even views that we profoundly disagree with.

bo bows to empty chairBig Guy is introduced to his personal empty chair at the UN General Assembly

“But in 2012, at a time when anyone with a cell phone can spread offensive views around the world with the click of a button, the notion that we can control the flow of information is obsolete.”

102109_obama_media-500x375Right: not enough to control content, now we have to control the polling too

Oh! And you’ll be pleased to know that since she was already in New York for other important matters, Lady M went to listen to BO’s big read speech.

mo un2She was enraptured, just like the other ladies. At least the ones who remained awake.

Nearly everyone was impressed with Big Guy’s words to the delegation:

Was6920077 And now ladies and gentlemen, a few words from President Barack Hussein Obama’s empty chair!

Following the UN read speech, Big Guy again didn’t have time to meet with any of the world’s leaders as he had a prior commitment to appear at the Clinton Global Initiative to give another impassioned read speech. (Surely you didn’t think Big Dawg’s glowing nomination speech at the DNC came without strings? “Quid pro quo” is Bill’s middle name.)

bill bo clinton initativeWell look who’s here folks!

The central theme of BO’s CGI read speech revolved around the condemnation of human trafficking. What? Seriously? I’m not in favor of human trafficking or anything, butt seriously? This is the most critical topic in the world today? I guess I better start reading the New York Times more thoroughly, because I still thought it was Global Warming.

Meanwhile, back at the UN today, Ahmadinejad is expected to call for a New World Order. Guess he didn’t get the memo either. We’ve already got a New World Order, Mahmoud: get on board, bubbie.

With Big Bro and his empty chair looking at you, looking back at him looking at you – you can rest assured, “We are on correct path comrades”  (h/t Veretino)

"I've been told I'm just eye candy here."

I think Brit Hume’s tweet, following the Seattle Seahawk’s win over the Green Bay Packers on a blown call in the Monday night game, was uncalled for (and racist):

brit hume ref call tweet

Did Mr. Hume not get the memo yesterday? Big Guy’s Job Number One is not JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!, ensuring fiscal responsibility or even foreign relations (I know, that last one surprised me too). He’s been officially self-promoted to the “eye candy” job.

bomo view2

I sure hope nobody tells Lady M, she still thinks that’s her job.

mo eye candyOh my, you do look stunning in that Speedo!

I guess he’s just acknowledging what many people have secretly suspected from the start: he’s sweet.

         incomingaint no flies on meain't no flies on me

And that’s a sure way to catch 'yerself some flies.

Butt come on, seriously, does this sound like the oratory of “eye candy” to you?

"I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless.

"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation . . . "

It does? Well then, why hasn’t anyone realized it until now?

Maybe it’s because of this.

Or this:

Yesterday we saw the undecided voters, today, we hear from those who have decided. Warning: this one’s NOT a SNL skit.

Wow! The real decided voters are actually scarier than the fake undecided voters. Only in America. Butt don’t blame the teachers unions. They’re just dupes, along with their students.

Butt back to our Nobel Peace Prize winner: Big Guy will be at the UN today, delivering a scathing read speech directed at film makers around the world the roots of Muslim rage (that would be free speech).

"There is no video that justifies an attack on an embassy. There is no slander that provides an excuse for people to burn a restaurant in Lebanon, or destroy a school in Tunis, or cause death and destruction in Pakistan."

Boy, that harsh condemnation is really going out on an election-year limb. You tell ‘em Big Guy! And while you’re there don’t forget to give Ahmadinejad a shout out for his plausible denial of the holocaust yesterday.

OBAMA_PointYou ‘da man, Mahmoud!

It’s really too bad BO was busy taping the View with the ladies who ogle, and couldn’t be there to hear Mahmoud’s speech in person. Had he been, I’m sure he would have given our delegation permission to walk out too. Because after all, Mahmoud was dissing “one of our best allies in the region.”

MIDEAST-ISRAEL-LIKUD"The world tells Israel 'wait, there's still time'. And I say, 'Wait for what? Wait until when?'"

Wait Bibi. Wait for the “eye candy” - blocking out all that noise - to speak softly to the Arab street.

 see hear speakSee no, hear no, speak no evil. Is that racist?


while they gather up all their big sticks.

nuclear_warhead

Of course, that might result in “noise” that even the biggest hunk of eye candy on the planet won’t be able to ignore. It might even end our sugar high!

WTF 2012: I think we need a bigger magic wand

Can anybody tell me what’s up with the Biden’s anyway? First Joey,

“Guess what, the cheerleaders in college are the best athletes in college,” Biden said. “You think, I’m joking, they’re almost all gymnasts, the stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind.”

Then, et tu, Dr. Jill? Gaffing about Joey’s, er, manhood?

dr jill's measure of a man_thumb[7]

Maybe this explains it,

She makes me feel bad. She gets up at 6:30 in the morning and goes to a barre class, runs to it at 7 in the morning,” he said.

Although I must say if I was married to Joey I might consider a little hair of the dog in the morning too. I leave it to the shrinks to explain what this fascination with wood is all about, butt as you see, Joey is very complimentary of Big Guy’s too:

joey b returns the favor_thumb[1]

obama's wood_thumb[16]bo's golf clubs wood and iron_thumb[53]

The Presidential putter:

obama four hundred dollar -putter_thumb[8]Message to President Obama from Bibi: “Just because you carry a big stick, doesn’t mean you’ve got balls.”

167546_president-barack-obama-visits-the-view-on-may-15-2012_thumb[1]…in which case, you should go play with the girls

Maybe all the wood-gaffes are just a reaction to Rush Limbaugh’s report on an Italian study documenting that the male mini-me is, on average, 10% smaller than it was just 50 years ago (!). Now, we know that Joey B is from the, um, full size generation; butt Big Guy (and I HOPE that moniker is still valid) is of the post “50” generation. I’m not sure what it all means exactly, butt I think I agree with Rush that size still matters.

Anyway, prior to his appearance on The View tomorrow, Big Guy was in Milwaukee over the weekend sucking on (what else?) a sausage

dick head_thumb[1] Is that a sausage or a Pacifier? Because I don’t think we really need a President hooked on pacifying, right Jimmy?

while acknowledging that being President is a long row to hoe (is that racist?):

"From the day I ran for this office last year -- er, four years ago, it seems like just last year -- I've always said change take more than one term, one president, one party,"

It’s always awkward to disagree with the President of the Free World, butt I should note a couple of things here: 1) he’s been running for this office since at least 2004, and re-running for this office since 2009; January 20, 2009 to be exact. And 2) no, Big Guy, it most assuredly does NOT seem like just last year.  Not to most of us.

RPC-Obama-Economic-Record-table_thumb[1]Looks like a depression from here

Of course, he addressed other issues too, such as what it’s going to take to get us out of this ditch that George W. Bush drove us into:

We’ve always said in this campaign that change takes more than one term, it takes more than one President, it takes more than one party. 

The million dollar question is, how many people will agree with Big Guy on November 6 about it taking more than one President, more than one party, to get us out of this ditch.

Anyway, it wasn’t just BO delivering inspirational messages this weekend. You already saw how fabulous Lady M looked as she addressed the CBCF:

mo cbcf22_thumb[8]

Butt beyond looking fab she delivered one of her high energy messages: Get out the vote, America! We can’t let those angry R-words suppress our voice:

“We cannot let anyone discourage us from casting our ballots. We cannot let anyone make us feel unwelcome in the voting booth.

 

black-panthers_thumb[1]

 

It is up to us to make sure that in every election, every voice is heard and every vote is counted,”

new_black_panthers_thumb[1]

 

“This is the movement of our era — protecting that fundamental right not just for this election, but for the next generation and generations to come,” Obama said.

 

dead vote dem_thumb[2]Because your voice shouldn’t be silenced by death.

“Because in the end, it’s not just about who wins, or who loses, or who we vote for on Election Day.”

obamafamilyvoteschicagostyle4_thumb[1]You look old enough to vote, do you know your alphabet yet? Do you see the letter “D”?

And remember, we don’t care who you vote for, as long as you vote Democratic.

So, go ahead. Ask all the questions you need answers to in order to help you make up your mind to vote for our Democratic brain trust:
