is that a website or are you talking about the news ticker at the bottom of the TV screen?
I acually think his interest in basketball is nothing but a shamwow as well. The Duke coach knows Obama is a sham..he is only playing a big game on the homeboys and those of us who reallly do love college basketball.
Socialist nerds like Obama don’t care about sports..really...it’s just a means to an end.
Nothing more. Obama is a fake..a fraud..a phoney!
We'll immediately disarm, to show our good faith.
Truth be told, Zero doesn't really care about our folks in harms way. He's still in campaign mode.
He has to be a President, a Chief Executive, now.
And he doesn't know how.
Tokyo deployed warships and Patriot missile interceptors off its northern coast to shoot down any debris that the North said might fall over the area.
U.S. and South Korean warships equipped with missile interceptors also plied the waters between the Korean peninsula and Japan to monitor the launch.
Russia, meanwhile, scrambled fighter jets to its Far East in case any debris hits its territory, Russian news reports said.

South Korea’s presidential Blue House called the launch a “reckless” move that poses a “serious threat” to stability on the Korean peninsula.
“We cannot contain our disappointment and regret over North Korea’s reckless act,” presidential spokesman Lee Dong-kwan told reporters Sunday. He said the launch of the long-range rocket “poses a serious threat to security on the Korean peninsula and the world.”
Obama said Friday the launch would be “provocative” and said the U.S. would “take appropriate steps to let North Korea know that it can’t threaten the safety and security of other countries with impunity.”
The launch “will prompt the United States to take appropriate steps to let North Korea know that it cannot threaten the safety and security of other countries with impunity,” State Department spokesman Fred Lash said in Washington.
Security Council diplomats said Friday that a draft resolution in circulation could reaffirm and tighten enforcement of the demands and sanctions of a resolution passed after North Korea conducted a nuclear test on 2006.

The U.S. State Department confirmed on Saturday that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea launched a rocket at 0230 GMT on Sunday.
“We have had a launch. I don’t know the type of missile,” U.S. State Department spokesman Fred Lash told reporters on a conference call.
“We look on this as a provocative act,” said Lash, adding that the United States will take “appropriate steps” in response to the DPRK’s rocket launch.

I feel WW3 too.
We ignored WW2 until Pearl Harbor. Just because we ain’t it doesn’t mean the dominoe effect isn’t happening.
I think we all know it and feel it.
So the UN will meet in the morning....everyone will snivel, moan, groan, go to lunch, and call it a day.
I am shocked at what I read there, mostly because we are savers, not investors.
But, if what I am reading is true, we are totally in for a hard time. This launch scares me even more.
Japanese are no dummies are they. If I were them I would draw the same conclusions--time to saddle up and look out for ourselves.
And the button will be labeled "RAUNCH".
Yes I remember hearing those letters too. I can still hear the women trying to explain them away. I can still hear her voice in my head. They must have still have been doing that program in later times. I used to really enjoy listening to Radio RSA from South Africa. That was before things went crazy there. They used to have people call in from the US on New Years eve. Well- getting off topic I guess.
“He doesn’t like the getting up early part of being President, he likes the gift giving and attention of being the ‘new guy’.”
BINGO...BTTT!
OCISSUS
Sad LMAO. And this will resolve things by........???
How dare North Korea violate U.N. rules. Maybe BHO will hit them with an olive branch.
