So is this what they meant by Hope and Change? …Interrogating anti-regime artists and producers?
Glenn Reynolds called for Obama to resign.
WHY BARACK OBAMA SHOULD RESIGN. Just for the record, this is what it looked like for a man who made a film that made the Obama Administration uncomfortable:
Here’s the key bit: “Just after midnight Saturday morning, authorities descended on the Cerritos home of the man believed to be the filmmaker behind the anti-Muslim movie that has sparked protests and rioting in the Muslim world.”
When taking office, the President does not swear to create jobs. He does not swear to “grow the economy.” He does not swear to institute “fairness.” The only oath the President takes is this one:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
By sending — literally — brownshirted enforcers to engage in — literally — a midnight knock at the door of a man for the non-crime of embarrassing the President of the United States and his administration, President Obama violated that oath. You can try to pretty this up (It’s just about possible probation violations! Sure.), or make excuses or draw distinctions, but that’s what’s happened. It is a betrayal of his duties as President, and a disgrace.
He won’t resign, of course. First, the President has the appreciation of free speech that one would expect from a Chicago Machine politician, which is to say, none. Second, he’s not getting any pressure. Indeed, the very press that went crazy over Ari Fleischer’s misrepresented remarks seems far less interested in the actions of an administration that I repeat, literally sent brown-shirted enforcers to launch a midnight knock on a filmmaker’s door.
…
It’s the deputies who should be covering their faces out of shame, but the real shame is on the man at the top of the hierarchy.
We’re all with you, Glenn.

EveryBODY NEEEEEEDS to make noise about this.
Two things are evident from this week:
Romney will (has) come out in defense of our Constitution.
Obama has taken the opposite road.

No one stops this punk criminal, Soetoro. He isn’t even a real President. He’s a Manchurian, and they all know it. He’s so ugly, I can’t stand to look at him. I’d rather hear 1000 fingernails on a chalkboard than listen to his Castro like rants. And his wife is an amazon woman. She’s FAT!

Obama needs to be impeached. I know there is only a few weeks left but this whole debacle, from beginning to end is so outrageous that it is almost beyond belief.

IT IS TIME TO CONSIDER APPLYING THE 25TH AMENDMENT….LOOK AT HOW THE WORLD HAS SPIRALED INTO ANARCHY IN JUST 5 DAYS AS JIHADIST BECAME AWARE AMERICA DOES NOT HAVE A COMMANDER IN CHIEF WILLING TO PROTECT AMERICAN CITIZENS AT HOME OR ABROAD.
THE ENEMY NOW KNOWS OUR EMBASSIES ARE POORLY DEFENDED WITH GUARDS HOLDING EMPTY RIFLES. MANY MORE HAVE DIED SINCE THE LIBYAN AMBASSADOR AND OBAMA REMAINS DETERMINED TO DO NOTHING AND SCAPEGOAT A YOUTUBE POSTER AS THE WORLD DESCENDS INTO MASS RIOT. THIS IS NOT ABOUT IMPEACHING ANY CRIME REGARDING OBAMA….IT IS ABOUT MENTAL INCAPACITATION ….INSANITY….
” Article II of the U.S. Constitution provided that the vice president shall “discharge the Powers and Duties” of the president in the case of the president’s “Death, Resignation, or Inability.” It left Congress to legislate for the incapacity of both. It did not resolve how to determine inability or return powers to the president.
President James Garfield lay in a coma nearly two months after being shot in 1881. President Woodrow Wilson was disabled by a stroke in 1919–1921. Many presidents have suffered shorter periods of disability. In no instance were the disability provisions invoked.
The Twenty‐fifth Amendment establishes procedures by which the vice president becomes “Acting President” in the event of disability and the president may resume the powers of the office on the termination of the disability: by the president’s written declaration or the vice president’s together with a majority of top executive officials. A finding of disability may be made over the president’s objection, subject to review in Congress—a two‐thirds vote of both houses within twenty‐one days is necessary for the vice president to continue as acting president.

Maybe Obama’s not a Muslim. Maybe he’s just a dhimmi.
Redstate Red commented:
I think it’s only going to get worse. He knows his days are numbered in office and he’s going to pull every underhanded power play he can before he skips off to Hawaii where he hopes we’ll forget about him while we try to clean up the mess and defend ourselves from jihadis.
Gird your loins patriots. He’s just gettin’ warmed up.
FU#K OBAMA commented:
Imam Obama is selective about who he prosecutes for expressing his beliefs under the 1st amendment. Far left quack, Bill Mahr made a anti pigslamic movie yet nary a word from the Imam about his ‘insult’ to the filthy muslims.

I guess all this dude has to do is just give Imam Obama a cool million and all is forgotten.
DerpHoft commented:
Hopefully they arrest him and toss him back in jail. He is a known criminal who violated the terms of his probation.
befuddled commented:
Well the President did say he would rather stand with the Muslims. If anything, Wisconsin has taught me that under Obama the police have become nothing more than brownshirts with a union badge.
raph commented:
I am guessing that the so called political gurus are advising Romney not to show emotions. Just like Chief justice robert switched his vote to support Obamacare because of pressure from the left, so will the people who are on the boderline and thinking of voting for Romney will finally stick with Obama. He is not helping his candidacy at all. He needs to show emotions, he needs to show anger at the state of the country, blast the media on their bias like Gingrich does. He has nothing to lose when he does that. They will always side with Obama whether he plays nice or rough. So, the only alternative is to play tough and rough on them and Obama to hold his base and convince the undecided that he can fight.
He needs to produce an ad using the picture of the arrested muslim movie maker with his face covered and surrounded by brown shirt cops to issue a serious warning to America. The ad should tell them that this will be their faith if they fail to heed to the warning about who this president is. That this president and his media and hollywood minions will rather support the Muslim fundamentalists and Jihadists( show the pics of american flag burning and our consulate destroyed) than protect us and defend our constitution, our freedom of speech. This ad must be produced using an ominous voice with a fierce urgency.
It is time to wake up and hit this president hard with all the money he has been raising. Playing the McCain way will lead to a landslide defeat for him. Time is running out very fast. People are making up their minds and after the debates, it will be a done deal. The media will call it for Obama and it will be over for him. To be forewarned it to be forearmed. Wake up Romney!!!
Chas commented:
The man foolishly called attention to his parole violations, so the government has an obligation to lock him up for those violations. They would be negligent if they didn’t. That’s not a violation of his right to free speech. Obama can tell all his Muslim buddies that the man is a convicted criminal and parole violator and has been locked up for those parole violations. In this case, government gets a pass on taking the foolish criminal/parole violator into custody.
Now, the responsibility for the rest of this fatal fiasco lands in smack Obama’s lap. Including the necessity of firing the recklessly and dangerously deluded Hillary for gross and fatal incompetence. She got a pass when all those top-secret cables were leaked on her watch, but this is too much. She goes.
regularguy commented:
My question is, just what the hell are the sheriff’s deputies going to ask this guy that couldn’t be done through a probation officer at the guy’s house, or over the phone? What the hell is this guy going to answer to whatever these questions are, that will amount to needing to take him in for questions? Maybe they were actually trying to protect him, but I’d be fearful of a civil rights investigation for temporarily detaining him even if I informed him he’s not under arrest. Somebody just set these deputies up for a heap of trouble.

IMPEACH HIM!
Jerry C commented:
This LUITPOS DID NOT finish his swearing in as President of the United States of America. Remember? He flubbed it up so they had him do it “in secret” later. BS. He never finished the swearing in properly ’cause he never planned to follow through with it. We cannot get to Nov. 6th fast enough. Lord God Almighty. How much more do we to suffer for rejecting You? Obviously, alot more from the looks of things.
