On Monday, while the death toll mounted at the Navy Yard, President Barack Obama delivered a strident partisan tirade against Republicans, using the fifth anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse to score political points ahead of the debt ceiling debate. It was an appalling act of division and insensitivity, and unlike George W. Bush's My Pet Goat moment on 9/11, it was a calculated abdication of leadership.
-SNIP-
It was an insult to the victims and their families, a slap in the face to the nation as a whole, a dereliction of the simplest duty of empathy and discretion. He may apologize--he ought to--but what Obama revealed about himself in that moment can never be undone.

"Disbelief and shock turned to stunned betrayal as Zimbabwe emerged from the elections and still, a week later, no one can believe what has happened. Despite the ‘landslide’ victory of Zanu PF and Mr Mugabe, we haven’t just experienced a week of wild cheering and celebrating, instead an ominous silence has descended on the country. No one knows what’s going to happen; if there are going to be protests or violence or if we’re just going to hurtle back in time to the dark days of no food or fuel, no electricity or water and where everyday life is an intolerable struggle. Almost overnight we have reverted to whispering, looking over our shoulders, making sure no one’s listening and being very careful what we say and even more careful what we commit to paper. Self censorship has returned to Zimbabwe with a vengeance."
I fear this is a foreshadowing of what is coming to this once free country?

I talked to one local “liberal” yesterday.....he said he was NOW glad that obama was a lame duck..
if barry willingness to be himself...had been THIS apparent before the election...
alas
He hasn’t been mine since he was selected.
Incredible, demonic delusion.
What we are actually talking about here is class.
Obama aint got none.
Incredible, demonic delusion.
BINGO!
The ILLEGAL, usurping kenyan/indonesian commie
NEVER HAS BEEN, NEVER WILL BE!
I consider the office vacant since noon January 20, 2009 and I strongly suspect that when historians objectively view the facts, they will conclude that Baraq Hussein 0bama illegally occupied the office and usurped the powers.
The former junior US Senator from Illinois has never been my president, because I’m not convinced that he has ever been validly elected to the position that he usurped. There is a good reason why the person who has assumed the name “Barack Hussein Obama” has never acted like an American, let alone like a real president.
Obama has not been my president and he NEVER will be.
I wonder how his latino dancing party went last night? The loved ones of the dead hadn’t even been notified of their loss, yet less than 2 miles away and while the dead bodies are little more than rotting meat in pools of blood on the floor, Obama and the maggot libs dance the night away.
While the loved ones of the dead cry their hearts out, how many drinks did Obama have....how many smiles did he give and how many times did he laugh?
He's better than the liberals I know, who see absolutely nothing wrong with the Imposter.
Sadly, this is what you get after 2 generations of dumbing down the voting population in government schools.
I, for one, don't see the situation getting any better. We truly are Rome in the 4th century AD.
DITTO!
Barry has become so repulsive that Kenyans are now claiming he was born in America.
this particular liberal is well into his eighties....which may account for the residual common sense.....
“I talked to one local “liberal” yesterday.....he said he was NOW glad that obama was a lame duck..

alas”
It’s worse than you think. That liberal, who is glad Obama is a lame duck, will gleefully cast his or her ballot for Hillary in 2016.
That’s funny!!
He is not my President today, either. Nor will he be tomorrow. Nor will he be my President anytime in the future. In fact, eternity will have long passed and he still won’t be my President.
I don’t speak to liberals. LOL. So I wouldn’t know if they’re eating the crap sandwich they made for the rest of the country. I do love to hear about liberals losing their health care and their jobs.
