Never let an international crisis or even a botched charter boat evacuation get in the way of a good party…
‘The ferry carrying American and international citizens from Libya to Malta is finally underway,’ U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley tweeted.
According to the State Department there are 285 passengers on board the Dolores, including 167 U.S. citizens and 118 people of other nationalities.
President Obama has been under intense criticism for his muted response to the bloodshed in Libya, with speculation that Colonel Gaddafi had intimidated the White House into silence by blocking the evacuation of U.S. citizens.
And last night, while the Dolores remained stranded, the president enjoyed a White House pop concert in celebration of Black History month.

The U.S. is finished. There aren’t enough of us informed enough AND motivated enough to counteract the decades of communist infiltrators who’ve rotted us out from the inside. It’s over (it’s been over for some time — we’re only now noticing, or admitting it).

This is the type of character al-Bama has. A squad or platoon leader in the USMC has more leadership skill in a clipped-off fingernail than this guy has in his whole being, even if you multiplied that by a thousand.

i’m sorry, but one of the first things both Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama did was mention “assassination”, his pal Farrakhan, who had Malcolm X “assassinated” because he was about to expose the NOI mentions “assassination”, his pal Qaddafi mentions “assassination”, all in relation to Obama.. hence, i wouldn’t put it past them to fake an “Obama assassination” to light the fire of death & destruction like never seen before, thus fulfilling Obama’s mentors prediction of a “bloodbath”, thus the Elites get the population thinned & ergo, their New Grasshoppers & ants World Order.. i just wish i’d been wrong one time so far.. but i still have faith the majority of the Muslim population wants to live free from tyrannical rule, and in a democracy of & by the people’s rule.. hence, a good reason for an “Obama assassination” would be to burst their bubble & bring it on.. *sigh*
“For 12 long years I lived within the narrow-minded confines of the ‘straitjacket world’ created by my strong belief that Elijah Muhammad was a messenger direct from God Himself, and my faith in what I now see to be a pseudo-religious philosophy that he preaches…. I shall never rest until I have undone the harm I did to so many well-meaning, innocent Negroes who through my own evangelistic zeal now believe in him even more fanatically and more blindly than I did.”

Sparky,
Until you start seeing real reporting on what Obama is doing in the MSM, no the full impact will not sink in. And it never will. Remember when gas was this high and Bush was President? Oil men in the white house, blah, blah, blah. Today? Nothing. Heck, Obama has taken over the roll of executive, legislative, and judiciary, and what do we hear? Nothing. But Bush was trampling on the constitution. It goes on an on. But yeah, things are gonna get worse.

Do the actions of this Marxist not make you understand that you can no longer sit idly by and simply complain? We must do what the left has been doing for decades; take to the streets, start attending school board meetings, county commission’s meetings, your state House sessions. Join a TEA Party or a 9-12 organization. Get vocal. Get loud. Know what is being voted on in state and federal Houses (each have websites). Call, and write, your elected officials and let them know that anytime they do one damn thing that violates our Constitution you will be beating on doors to get them unelected come election day.
We have sat silently watching the left march and protest, simply complaining that they were nuts. THEY ARE NOT NUTS. They know that they are pushing their socialist agenda. They must be stopped now. 2011. Now is the year for reinstating our Constitution.

Truck Driver Divorce commented:
I have to respectfully disagree with some comments here. I believe Obama will take a serious hit poll wise whether the MSM reports his partying or the high gas prices or not. Why? Maybe everyone won’t know about him partying while the Middle East is burning, but they WILL know that the price of gas, the price of food, and the price of clothing have gone up very fast. There is also the fact that everyone in this country either knows someone out of work or about to be out of work. Mortgages are not getting paid, jobs are drying up, in short NOTHING is doing well. So the Left and their JournOList allies can play all the games they want ignoring and obfuscating the truth, but they can’t hide the daily reality down here where the majority of us are broke, unemployed, or on the battlefield.
Madkangaroo commented:
Given the context of Obama’s past statements, e.g., The Apology Tour, his “I wasn’t even born then” response to Ortega’s anti-American diatribe etc. etc ad nauseum, it is entirely plausible that Obama refuses to act because he thinks that American power is, in balance, a bad thing. It would, therfore, be immoral to exercise it in almost any conceivable instance.
On the other hand, maybe he figures there is more personal political risk in action than in inaction. But that can’t be b’cuz he’s a new kind of guy you know- not just another lying, self-serving scumbag politician – he said so himself.

We need to do away with the electronic voteing machines. Make demands or pleas to do away with them in your areas! We can bare the cost so that can not be an excuse for not doing away with them. Reid won because of the electronic machines! Funny how SEIU serviced them! If we all chip in each district, state, etc we can get them replaced. We do not have them in my voteing area but I am willing to help with my dollars to replace the electronic ones in an area that needs help! This is where they plan on getting the fraud reelected!!!!!! We need to work on the picture ID card too!

You are so right! They are going to demand we drill here and question why Barry is defying the judges orders so the oil companys can drill! We have to keep talking to our family, friends neighbors. Some people pretend that they don’t want to hear or that we are wrong but I am seeing a difference in some people. It is mostly a smug remark that they will make towards the kenyan fraud. I believe that if we do not just sit back and do nothing but get prepared the fraud will be a ONE TERM FRAUD!

schlep stein commented:
If you had an iota of critical thinking ability you would know that it’s okay to deride a president for inaction but NOT for having a social moment on any given day, unless there’s a REAL pressing issue at hand. One could ridicule a president, such as Bush, for every golf outing if one wanted to be so officious, because at any moment a president is doing something that is concurrent with a downturn or tragedy in his nation. You can ridicule a president who takes a whole month off (read: W) or sets a record for vacation days while in the White House (again, George Herb’s sprout), but not for doing something fun or social on his free time. I said the same thing to my liberal friends who cherry-picked complaints about every little thing W. did, because every little thing he did occurred as an opportunity cost of saving the nation, bringing in new jobs, etc. There are things you can critique Barack on, but his occasional socializing shouldn’t be one of them.

Deaths in Iraq pro-reform rallies
[Ahmed Rushdi, head of the House of Iraq Expertise Foundation, tried
to join the protests in Baghdad but was prevented from doing so by
the army.
"This is not a political protest, but a protest by the people of Iraq.
We want social reform, jobs for young people and direct supervision
because there is lots of corruption," Rushdi told Al Jazeera.
"If [prime minister Nuri] al-Maliki does not listen, we will continue this
protest. He told everyone that we are Sadamists, but that is not right.
We are normal Iraqi people.”
Eight years after the US-led invasion which ousted Saddam Hussein,
the former Iraqi leader, development in the country remains slow and
there are shortages of food, water, electricity and jobs.
Protesters confirmed that they were protesting
for a better life and better basic services.
“We are free young men and we are not belonging to a certain ideological
movement but we ask for our simple legitimate demands that include the
right of education and the right of decent life,” Malik Abdon, a protester,
said.]

So far, President Bush has made it plain that he does not mean to wage war on Islam, and for that he is being made to pay a price. While his State Department is struggling to undo the damage done by the anti-Saudi media and the Lieberman-Levine assault in Congress, a grand coalition of left and right is pushing for World War III in the Middle East – a war that, given the presence of Pakistan and India (not to mention Israel) in the equation, could quickly go nuclear.]
