Well, the bubble of Obama supremacy has finally exploded in all our faces and is now lying in tatters, with little giblets of its former hot-air glory spread from here to kingdom come. The candidate who played his "Peace is just an Obama speech away" tune to the easily bamboozled left has just been dealt the final blow that crashed the big, fat hot air balloon.
The very first test case was just last week: a former Gitmo detainee, brought to NYC to be tried as a civilian with all the rights of a genuine American citizen, was found guilty on a single picayune count from a list of 280-plus murder charges.
Ahmed Ghailani was found guilty by a civilian jury on a single count of conspiracy to destroy government buildings. Never mind the hundreds murdered by means of the TNT bought by this enemy combatant, obeying the orders of his own commander in chief, Osama bin Laden. Due to constitutional protections gratuitously bestowed on him by President Barack Obama and the Department of Injustice, Ahmed Ghailani will soon be sentenced to serve a couple of decades in an American prison (minus time served, for sure), where he likely will sue the people of the United States of America over and over again with some trumped-up "cruel and unusual punishment" claim.
Wherever he is, Osama bin Laden is having one heck of a great laugh right this minute as he watches Western civilization shoot itself again, again, again, and again in the foot.
What we have here is a great, big, fat failure to think. A failure to think beyond the next sentence. A failure to give an ounce of credit to the president in charge on 9/11 and the thousands of career security personnel who devised the enemy combatant plan and engineered Gitmo to hold these bad guys indefinitely as the prisoners of war that they are. A complete failure to think through possible outcomes and plan around them.
Obama & Company have been called the Keystone Cops too many times to count. But they are far, far worse than mere incompetents. They are blowhards who believe in their own mental and moral superiority to the point where they put all Americans at gratuitous risk.
Bump.
Blow hard is not a correct appellation.
The problem is ideology. The two are ideologues. Their narrow vision prohibits a view of any events peripheral to the ideological issue at hand.
The same is true of Islamic fanatics. And also of
They know that in every big city where there's a Federal Court, there are scores, if not hundreds, of "OJ Jurors" just waiting to get called for jury duty to stick it to 'the man'.
I saw his first hand when I was called for Federal Jury Duty. A Postal Worker - in full uniform, got up and said to the Judge: "I want to be excused 'cause I HATE the US Government". Luckily she spoke out otherwise it would have been Not Guilty, no matter the evidence.
Pretty ironic since she's getting PAID by that government she hates and will get a fat pension too.
“Obama and Holder and Their Massive Failure to Think”
They’re not paid to think. They’re paid to do what their New World Order Masters tell them to do.
I understand your point...
But there is no real THOUGHT in doing that stuff...it is blindly following an ideology.
They are ideologues as rigid as they come. Holder hasn’t learned to spin his rigidity the way Zer0 has, or maybe Holder’s writers don’t lie and distort for him the way Obama’s help him to play both sides of the fence.
Absolutely it is ideology.
But it is overuse of speeches and TV appearances to advance that ideology that I’m referrring to. He is a huge windbag and talks out of both sides of his mouth as well. Or will allow underlings to create havoc-—as the TSA-—and then 0 will pretend to sympathize with the public’s outrage.
Obama pontificates way too much and he thinks he has a golden tongue that will allow him to talk his way through anything. That has absolutely blown up in his face overseas, where he has made a mockery of himself.
Essentially, he has become a caricature of himself.
It's just thinking, and acting, like someone who prefers the company of Muslims, Communists, homosexuals, and club-wielding blacks.
People really need to get over this silly "Obama is so ignorant" mantra. He's not ignorant.
He's evil.
It is common practice for outgoing Presidents to pardon some federal criminals.
Obama's pardons are going to shock even the most jaded observers.
Just a minor point, from the fifth paragraph I was of the understanding that not wearing the uniform of a recognized nation makes one an enemy combatant as opposed to a prisoner of war and is therefore ineligible for due process. Any comments are welcome.
islamist does as islamist does.
Never forget that.
Obama and Holder children at play caution.
Obama's pardons are going to shock even the most jaded observers.
I'll bet they will. Obama has proven time and time again that he doesn't think like normal Americans, and that he has comfortable alliances and friendships with people whom most Americans wouldn't spit on.
But, if he pardons this monster after he's only done a couple of years behind bars, he's going to be persona non grata on nearly every square inch of this country.
I get it...though it is a little deep for the likes of me, being a Southern, small town, Mayberry-like, redneck, gun-owning, bible-toting, bitter clinger and all.
I went with Zippo, the Marx extension of Zippy, as the acting prez is sometimes known on the web:
