oBAMA ON CSPAN NOW.
Heckler = plant
Is there a link to get a transcript of what he actually said? As opposed to the crap the White House puts out that just has what he intended to say...?
His ad libs are the best part!
There were quite a few times where he would pause while staring directly at the teleprompter waiting for the next paragraph to upload.
Is he still speaking?
(1) Looks like the prez has come out yet one more time to exhort us to let him "fix" the very thing he broke in the first place, and fix it "his way," the only "correct" way, ya know. (Whoever says otherwise likely will be contacted by the IRS pretty soon....)
(2) Was that woman "heckler" for real, or was she an Obama plant? Obama said he had to go "off script" to answer her; but I noticed he didn't go off the teleprompter more than 5 seconds. Then we got this magnificent oratory from this magnificently patriotic American hero president, who cares about each and every one of us, and the Constitution, too; and is taking good care of us. Just trust him some more.
(3) Given all the applause Captain Zero got in his "handling" of the lady "heckler," I had the eerie feeling that I had inadvertently stumbled into a Politburo meeting: Who were all these like-minded (brainwashed?) "toadies?"
(4) More distractions, diversions. Again. 0bama wants you to forget about the other scandals; e.g., Benghazi, IRS, Justice v. AP, Fox, et al.; Fast and Furious; etc. So he just wants to change the subject, to draw press attention to what he prefers us to see.
In this connection, let it be said: 0bama does not like it when human beings have "history," and recur to it in making judgments about current events. It goes without saying the above-mentioned scandals are part of history now.
Zero's "kingdom," however, is built on low-information voters — like Sgt. Schultz, "they know nothing." And Zero likes it that way.
So this ersatz president would have you believe that the future is so full of glittering promise, there is no longer any need to look back!!! History is OVER! for Our Age is radically NEW!!! [I.e., it is newly made in the image of 0bama.]
Therefore, we don't need no stinking history.... It is irrelevant to the New Order....
Just trust the Black Magician occupying the Oval Office (no racial reference intended; I'm alluding to something other than skin color here).
This all boils down to trusting the single most untrustworthy, untransparent, prevaricating, morally abject president in the history of our nation. Who tried — and succeeded — in gaining reelection by, in part, manipulating and/or silencing all press accounts — that is, violating the First Amendment six ways to Sunday — that would have made the president "look bad."
NO, thank you very much. I will not do that. I conjecture that this president is a full-fledged domestic enemy of the United States of America, the Constitution, and We the People thereof —
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.How We the People have fallen under the 0bama Regime! Will we ever again stand up, face tyranny, and assert our God-given rights — our unalienable rights — ever again? Or will we lose them, for lack of people standing up?

May 2, 2013 ... Why America Gets a B+ in Counterterrorism. Author: Alexandra ... What is the Obama administration’s legal justification for targeted killings?
All I can find is comments as well. Thankx.
“Please let me know the link if you find it.”
I can find comments about the new rule book, but can’t find the actual rule book. I don’t remember where I heard, read he had signed these new rules but I did read or hear that yesterday or the day before. It could be we peons are not allowed to see or read the actual wording in the “new codified rule book”.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The only thing I could find, and it indicates the rules are not available currently.
According to Holder’s letter (http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/AGLetter5-22-13.pdf) to Congressional leaders, the playbook has been completed, though it won’t be available to the public anytime soon:
This week the President approved and relevant congressional committees will be notified and briefed on a document that institutionalizes the Administration’s exacting standards and processes for reviewing and approving operations to capture or use lethal force against terrorist targets outside the United States and areas of active hostilities; these standards and processes are already in place or are to be transitioned into place. While that document remains classified, it makes clear that a cornerstone of the Administration’s policy is one of the principles I noted in my speech at Northwester: that lethal force should not be used when it is feasible to capture a terrorist suspect.

The result, aides said, will be a curtailing of the frequent, secret drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen that have marked much of Obama’s presidency. At the same time, Obama reserved the right to order covert lethal action anywhere the administration finds a threat from Al Qaeda.Obama didn’t spell out exactly why he was throttling back on drones, a program he inherited from President George W. Bush and then dramatically expanded.
They've been gearing up to this for a while. Found an older NY Times story I didn't open Election Spurred a Move to Codify U.S. Drone Policy - The New York ... with accompanying excerpt;

The American people can stand up to Obama on Sunday when he travels to Oklahoma, a state he denied funds to for building tornado shelters at schools, public buildings, etc. .........too busy handing out emergency diaster money to his buddies & political cronies, rather then the poor, destroyed folks of NJ, CT, & NY devasted by hurricanes!!! Christie, at least, did everthing he could for the citizens of NJ. Cuomo, asleep at the wheel!!! CT, NJ, NY still devastated across this board uo to this very day!!!
I would suggest that the good citizens of Oklahoma, just simply turn their backs on Obama and remain silent. Booing and jeering, while justly deserved, by Obama, would be an open insult to our Presidency!!! You folks in Moore, OK better realize Obama could care less about you!!!
Someone told him he doesn’t say those words enough, so he’s peppering EVERYTHING with it. What a geek.

They Will Never Take Our Freedom - Braveheart (3/9) Movie CLIP (1995) HD

…..50 seconds……“I am William Wallace. And I see a whole army of my countrymen,
here in defiance of tyranny! You have come to fight as free men.
And free man you are! What will you do without freedom? Will you fight?”
No!
“Two thousand against ten?” - the veteran shouted. “No! We will
run - and live!”
“Yes!” Wallace shouted back. “Fight and you may die. Run and you will live at least awhile. And dying in your bed many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance, to come back here as young men and tell our enemies that they may take our lives but they will never take our freedom!”
They're still projecting...while we here are recipients of their worst "projection", racists, fascist, potential terrorists(!) etc.
Me Jane.
You who?
you have a good power company
“It was that Madea Benjamin freak..seriously how do they keep on missing her..its not like finding Waldo, which I can understand CAN be difficult”
It’s one of those “enemy of my enemy is my friend” circumstances.
His rules have also said for a long time that the military can't fire upon anyone in Afghanistan unless the person fires at them FIRST.
If I were a man (let's not talk about women on the front line which is nuts), I would not be in this military because I couldn't fire on an enemy unless I gave him an opportunity to kill me first, and the man next to me will likely be a homosexual who wants my body. I would shoot the queer if he approached me and shoot the enemy before he got off a shot, so I would be court martialed fast and spend years in military prison.
God bless our non-homosexual military and I hope they live in spite of their fake commander in chief.
Those links. They had the spin ready. Ok, that’s too much
_______________________
You are right about those links being prepared. I was surprised! When you think about Mika on Morning Joe having direct email access to the white house it isn’t too much of a stretch to think the press would get the speech ahead of time.
I did not use twitter either - search engine.
