The Obama record:
** Worst jobs president since the Great Depression.
** Worst recovery in history
** Blew a trillion dollars on a failed stimulus
** Lost or losing two wars
** Four straight years of trillion dollar deficits
** Most Americans on food stamps
** Most Americans on disability
** Most Americans to leave workforce
And on, and on, and on.

Now this… Actual Reuters headline:
Obama worse for press freedom than Nixon: Goodale

From the video: James Goodale, who represented the New York Times in the Pentagon Papers case, tells Reuters Global Editor-at-Large Sir Harold Evans that President Obama is fast becoming the worst president ever when it comes to defending freedom of the press. Goodale is the author of “Fighting for the Press: The Inside Story of the Pentagon Papers and Other Battles.”

It’s an Obama World… Pakistani Doctor Who Held Find Bin Laden Was Denied Asylum in US

Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, May 18, 2013, 3:35 PM

It’s Barack Obama’s Special Way of Saying ‘Thank You!’…
The Pakistani doctor who helped the United States find Osama Bin Laden was denied asylum.

Now Pashtun Dr. Shakil Afridi could die for helping the US.

FOX News reported:

The jailed doctor who helped the U.S. track down Usama bin Laden was convicted by a tribal court on bogus charges, according to a classified Pakistani government report.

Portions of the voluminous 357-page Abbottobad Commission Report, which has yet to be made public and were obtained exclusively by Fox News, acknowledge Dr. Shakil Afridi’s conviction last year by a government-sponsored Jirga has undermined Pakistan’s credibility. The report calls for Afridi to be given a new trial.

The report also claims Afridi joined the CIA search for Bin Laden five years ago, while he was staying in the U.S. with a cousin. According to the report, Afridi applied for asylum after a terrorist group, Lashkar-e-Islam, stepped up its operations in Pakistan’s lawless tribal belt.

Afridi was reportedly kidnapped by the group in 2008 and released after his family paid a $10,000 ransom. After helping the CIA pinpoint the terror mastermind just prior to the 2011 raid in which Navy SEALs killed Bin laden, Afridi was arrested and convicted by the tribal court of colluding with Lashkar-e-Islam.

The State Department declined to comment on the report’s claims that Afridi had applied for asylum while staying in the U.S.

Or, as Obama would say – ‘Motive Unclear’
Muslim immigrant Fazliddin Kurbanov was arrested this week in Idaho for teaching bomb-making to an Islamist group. Fazliddin was arrested for giving support, cash and knowledge to a foreign terrorist organzition.

Kurbanov is employed as a truck driver.
Reuters reported, via Religion of Peace:

U.S. officials charged an Uzbek citizen in Idaho with providing bomb-making knowledge and other support to an Islamist militant group, knowing that it would be used in an attack, authorities said on Thursday.

Fazliddin Kurbanov, 30, a national of Uzbekistan living legally in Idaho, was arrested in Boise and faces a three-count grand jury indictment in Idaho and a single-count indictment in Utah, prosecutors said.

They said Kurbanov provided information and money to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which the United States has designated as a foreign terrorist organization. The group supports establishing strict Islamic rule in Uzbekistan.

Authorities said Kurbanov’s activities were closely monitored and any potential threat had been contained.

Mitt Romney on Leno: The Biggest Question Is “No Effort” Was Made to Rescue the Americans at Benghazi (Video)

Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, May 18, 2013, 11:40 AM

Mitt Romney gets the last laugh.
Do you remember how the state-run media ignored Obama’s failings and instead colluded to attack Mitt Romney after the Benghazi terrorist attack? The media also allowed Obama to lie to the American public following the massacre.

Well, last night Mitt Romney was asked about the Benghazi massacre on Leno.

“Clearly the State Department changing the talking points, the American people misled into what happened, that’s a real concern. And the fact that it’s been very difficult to pull out over the ensuing months. But I also think that in my own view, the biggest question, and I don’t know the answer to this, is we have American men and women serving our country in a hostile place and there was no effort to rescue them. And, some say we couldn’t have gotten there anyway. Well, there wasn’t an effort made that we know of.”

Top Romney Donor Threatened, Audited Twice, And Even His Children Were Targeted (Video)

Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, May 18, 2013, 10:37 AM

It’s an Obama world…
Barack Obama wanted to fundamentally transform America. Now we have record unemployment, record debt, an IRS that targets political opponents and Obama’s jackbooted thugs threatening the children of Republican donors.

Romney donor Frank VanderSloot was one of the eight Republicans placed on Barack Obama’s enemies list in 2012. The Idaho businessman was singled out by the Obama campaign for giving $1 million in support of Mitt Romney. Because of this he was the focus of audits from both the IRS and Labor Department. He said that he went through “living hell” as a result.

Obama lackeys attacked him and starting rumors about him and his family. Vandersloot revealed in an interview on Fox News that his business practice was hurt by the attacks from the Obama goons.

Vandersloot also told Greta Van Susteren that Obama supporters were stalking his kids.

“There’s been a ton of electronic media… that have lodged all kind of innuendo in my direction, accused me of all kinds of bad things. People have called my children. They’ve been surfing their LinkedIn sites. They’ve been asking interviews of my kids.“

Even the kids were harassed.

 

North Korea Launches Three Missiles Off Eastern Coast (Video)

Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, May 18, 2013, 9:23 AM

The North Korean regime fired off three missiles today off of its eastern coast.

The Wall Street Journal reported:

North Korea fired three short-range missiles Saturday into the sea off the eastern coast of the Korean peninsula, stirring tensions that had appeared to ease in the wake of a recent series of threats directed at South Korea and the U.S.

The missiles posed no danger to neighboring countries. Analysts said the launches were likely intended as a protest against joint South Korean-U.S. naval drills earlier this week.

South Korea’s defense ministry said that North Korea had fired two missiles into waters off the Korean peninsula in the morning, followed by a third missile in the afternoon.

“In our judgment, the missiles are short-range guided missiles, not midrange missiles such as the Musudan,” South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said.

 

Father of Navy SEAL Speaks Out About Suing Obama and Biden Over Insane Policy That Killed His Son (Video)

Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, May 18, 2013, 9:10 AM

Charles Strange the father of Navy SEAL hero Michael Strange spoke out this week about his suit against Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Philadelphia News, Weather and Sports from WTXF FOX 29

Charles Strange lost his SEAL son, Michael, in 2011 in Afghanistan along with 16 other Navy SEALs. At the memorial service in Afghanistan an Islamic cleric desecrated these heroes.
Now he’s speaking out

CBS Local reported:

The father of a Navy SEAL from Philadelphia discusses why he’s suing the president of the United States.

Mayfair native Michael Strange was one of 38 people killed when a Navy Chinook helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan in August 2011.

Michael’s father and some other families have filed a lawsuit against President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

Strange says they made his son, a SEAL Team Six Special Forces serviceman, a target.

Earlier this month three families of Navy SEAL Team VI special forces servicemen, along with one family of an Army National Guardsman, appeared at a press conference to disclose never before revealed information about how and why their sons, along with 26 others, died in a fatal helicopter crash in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011. This was just months after the successful raid on the Bin Laden compound in Pakistan.

At the press conference the families released video on how military brass, while prohibiting any mention of a Judeo-Christian God, invited a Muslim cleric to the funeral for the fallen Navy SEAL Team VI heroes. This cleric disparaged in Arabic the memory of these servicemen by damning them as infidels to Allah. A video of the Muslim cleric’s “prayer” was shown at last week’s press conference with a certified translation.

The families of these SEALs are suing the Obama administration over the insane policies that got their sons killed.
