Yes, I remember 1979. The only element that this current situation lacks is a charismatic leader, fortunately.

I believe this takeover is not good. The MB need to be pushed back upon not embraced.

I also don't think Biggie O knows what he doing...over his paygrade again!

Only good news...I just saw on FNC that the college kids are getting some news and hopefully someone will get them out.

Watch out for the “Mahdi” who is now the President of Iran. There is that possibility. You know, to restore order and such. And Iran would love to have control of the Canal to gain heavy leverage on the Western World.

Which is why I am so furious that the USA has not swarmed the bays and Beaches with our Military yet! It’s too late for that now.

Not a Prez. A fraud and a con. He’s scheduled to go to Penn State on Wednesday (big snowy day!) to suck up the adulation juices of the deluded young. Vampire-like, eh?

Yes, Obama goes where ever he can make himself look good. Which is why he stages everything, teleprompter in place and reherses all “informal” interviews.

But hell, we have NO leardership in place. Just a P.R. whore!
