It could be he is ticked off he is a lame duck...

Lame duck was a term that had meaning back in the old days when President's followed the law. What does it mean to a man who knows he can do whatever he want, outside the law, and the congress will do nothing to stop him?

Well, the DNC could have photo-shopped him *in*...like this paper photo-shopped the women *out* of the march in Paris.

Netanyahu at Paris victims’ funeral: Time for civilized world to uproot enemies in our midst

Fox News General: Obama Is An Enemy Within, Creating A ‘Communistic Society’ And Aiding Terrorists
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 9/8/2014 12:30 pm

Retired generals Thomas McInerney, who is now a Fox News contributor, and Paul Vallely appeared on “Trunews” last week where they told host Rick Wiles that President Obama is helping terrorist groups and pushing the destruction of America.

Wiles claimed that “Barack Obama is a communist” and “an enemy of the United States who is going to bring about destruction of the republic,” adding that the president is an “enemy of the nation, a domestic enemy in power, in the White House, who is orchestrating the destruction of our nation.” He also floated the possibility of a military coup against the president: “You’ve alluded to a constitutional crisis, but at what point do military commanders say enough is enough?”
McInerney warned that a “major incident or an attack” will cause a revolution against Obama once people realize he is “executing a very carefully orchestrated plan on how to change America, ‘transform America’ in his words, in a way that brings us to a socialistic, communistic society of redistributing wealth, etc., cutting our growth down, bringing in large amounts of immigrants that really want to live on the U.S. government and our education, etc.”

“We have a crisis not only in our economy and in our national security, but also in the demographics that is being changed at such a dramatic pace that we have not previously seen in our history,” he said. “To answer your question, when do people come up and say ‘enough is enough,’ that’s a very good question but I think this coming 9/11 is going to demonstrate, is now the time.”

Nope. But I don’t think it’s being cynical. I think it is being realistic and logical.

The back story of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu *not* being invited by socialist French President Francois Hollande is also interesting.

Another reason to hate politics and love Bibi.

Obama’s New Year’s Irresolution

Posted on January 12, 2015 by Ammoland

By Thomas Sowell

California —(Ammoland.com)- President Barack Obama’s absence from the great gathering in Paris of national leaders from other countries, to show their solidarity with France in its opposition to Islamic terrorists, was another sign of the Obama administration’s continuing irresolution in the face of terror.

Even the recent courageous message of Egypt’s president, Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, calling on his fellow Muslims around the world to “revolutionize” the interpretation of Islam, to make it more compatible with peaceful relations with other peoples, put no steel in the spine of Barack Obama.

From his earliest days in the White House, our president has downplayed the terrorist threat from Islamic extremists. He declared victory as he pulled American troops out of Iraq, setting the stage for a huge defeat when ISIS moved in to create their own new government, on both Iraqi and Syrian soil — while committing atrocities against men, women and children not seen since the days of the Nazis.

Undaunted, President Obama has since reaffirmed his determination to similarly pull American troops out of Afghanistan, with a similar declaration that they are no longer needed. He proceeds as if he can declare a war over when it suits the political convenience of his administration.

But a war is not over until the enemy stops fighting. The terrorist enemies of Iraq and Afghanistan are enemies of the United States as well. ISIS has left no doubt of that by beheading Americans and spreading the videotapes of these beheadings for the enjoyment of like-minded people in the Middle East and beyond.

Not even the movement of the world’s biggest sponsor of terrorism — Iran — toward building a nuclear bomb has caused the Obama administration to change its vision of the world.

For Obama, the question has never been how to stop Iran from going nuclear, but how to stop Israel from stopping Iran from going nuclear.

He has accomplished that by public declarations of support for Israel, while engaging in protracted negotiations with Iran that serve only to allow Iran to fortify and proliferate the sites of its nuclear facilities, to the point where Israel’s bombers may no longer be able to destroy those facilities.

At one time, information was leaked that Israel had a secret arrangement with Azerbaijan for Israeli bombers to land there and refuel on their way back from bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities.

It is doubtful if anyone in the Obama administration would have dared to leak Israel’s military secrets without knowing that it was all right with the president. Since it is unlikely that very many people in the White House had this information, the leaker’s identity could hardly have remained secret from the president.

Barack Obama cannot be unaware of the consequences of these and other foreign policy decisions that undermine the security of America and America’s allies. He is not stupid, nor is there any reason to believe that he is cowardly.

No, I agree with you. I've seen right through this phony baloney's fake rhetoric since before he was elected the first time in 2008. Many of my friends were skeptical and wouldn't believe me. But today, many of them are skeptics no longer.

Obama keeps showing us his true colors but most people seem to be color blind.

Wasn’t the NYTimes at the forefront of critics of the Met Opera’s decision to cancel the HD performances of Klinghoffer (which tries to humanize Palestinian terrorists) - because of the sanctity of the principle of free speech? The Met should have ignored the objections of the Klinghoffer family and the Jewish community, according to the Times - and all praise must be given to the Met’s board, for “standing firm” and going ahead with the live performances.

Now, according to the Times’ editor in chief, Dean Bachet, they wouldn’t dream of publishing the Charlie Hebdo cartoons, because there would be some poor Muslim family out there in Brooklyn, who would be needlessly offended.

Is there some prize that exists for hypocrisy of the year?

No but I have another thought.

He really did not believe that this would be such a well covered demonstration, more that it would be lost in a Sunday filled with the NFL playoffs. After all, it's been reported that he spends hours watching sports daily; to him the playoffs are the story of the day, not some demonstration in Europe.

IMO, the USA actually didn’t need any representation at that rally.

It was leftist suck-up amateur hour...”peaceful march” to show the “nasty beasts” that “we’re united” but in reality, aren’t going to do a damned thing to change the status quo.

The primary message being that right wing candidates, groups and even Bibi (Israel) were deliberately dis-invited.

This to prevent an uptick or swing to the right.

“He did it to let the islamists know he’s with them.”

Yep. He supplied them with arms in Syria. Took our troops out of Iraq so they could take over there.

But that doesn’t explain why Eric Holder didn’t go. Eric Holder didn’t decide on his own to skip the rally. It was deliberate.

It’ his actions and those of his cronies/appointees that tell you who and what he is.

He’s a Muslim.

Holder was probably meeting at a Wannsee II to discuss strategy.

My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes.

- Ronald Reagan (joking)

I can imagine Reagan declining to march too - but only so he could stay home and oversee a coordinated strike on every known terrorist camp worldwide, ready to give permission to expand the attacks as needed rather than micromanaging. That would be exactly the right answer, to kill them all, regardless of whether they are targeting us, the French, Jews, Russian children, or some other innocent group. We should set up a target list, and wipe out every terrorist we can find regardless of national borders. That would be a nice annual tradition (with occasional bonus targets on days other than Wipe Them All Out Day).
