You know, I hate this America-hating dirtbag (and his wife) more each day. Like all “modern day” liberals, he hates the military.
November 6th, and more importantly, January 20th, can’t get here soon enough for me, so we can send this complete and utter failure back to Chicago. They deserve each other.
And, as is usually the case, “The Committee To Re-elect The President”, also known as the mainstream Obama-loving liberal media, ignores yet another gaffe.
Whenever Obama or his vice-imbecile Biden show their stupidity, the committee pretends nothing happened.
So, we have to turn to our friends from across the pond, the Brits, to read this, since The Committee To Re-elect The President avoids anything that can make Obama look like the imbecile he is.
Oh, and by the way Barack, Ohio is spelled O-H-I-O, not O-I-H-O, you libtard dolt.
It’s ADMIRAL McRaven, Mr President! Obama botches rank of top Navy SEAL
Barack Obama has always been known for his silken words, soaring rhetoric and ability to use language to his advantage.
Lately, however, the president seems to be losing command of the details. In a speech at a fundraiser in New York on Wednesday night, he took aim at Todd Akin, the political punch bag du jour on both sides of the political aisle.
‘Recently, some of you have been paying attention to the commentary of the Senator of Missouri, Mr Akin, who – the interesting thing here is that this is an individual who sits on the House Committee on Science and Technology, but somehow missed science class.
It’s representative of a desire to go backwards instead of forwards, and to fight fights that we thought were settled twenty, thirty years ago.’
The problem is, Akin is a congressman who is running for a US Senate seat in Missouri. Senator Claire McCaskill, Obama’s favourite Senator until a few months ago when she started to distance herself from him in an effort to win re-election, might not particularly appreciate the President having conceded her seat already.
Then there was the stop at Sloopy’s bar on the campus of Ohio State University where Obama posed will students to spell out the four letters in Ohio. Except that, initially at least, the President and the student on his right got their letters wrong, spelling: ‘O-I-H-O’
Perhaps most seriously, however, was Obama’s slip in an interview with KSDK in St Louis, Missouri when he was asked about the new 22-minute film ‘Dishonorable Disclosures’ by a group of former Special Forces troops and intelligence operatives.
‘I won’t take this film too seriously,’ he responded. ‘I gather that one of the producers is a birther who still doesn’t think I was born in this country.
‘You’ve got one who was a candidate, a Republican candidate for office. And a proud card carrying member of the Tea Party. So this is obviously a partisan film.
‘I’d advise that you talk to General McRaven, who’s in charge of our Special Ops. I think he has a point of view in terms of how deeply
I care about what these folks do each and every day to protect our freedom.’
The difficulty with this is that William McRaven is and admiral not a general. As a SEAL, he is member of the US Navy, not US Army or US Marines.
Obama has made mistakes with military terminology before. In February 2010, he mispronounced ‘corpsman’ – as ‘corpse-man’ instead of ‘core-man’ several times.
Last year, he mixed up two Medal of Honor recipients, saying that ‘Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honour to who actually came back and wasn’t receiving it posthumously’.
n fact, Obama was referring to Staff Sergeant Salvatore Giunta. Obama had presented a posthumous Medal of Honor to the parents of SFC Monti, who was killed in action in June 2006, in September 2009.
The Medal of Honor is the highest United States award for valour. It’s the equivalent of the Victoria Cross. In the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and the names of recipients are seared on the hearts of many Americans.
Some servicemen have criticised Obama for omitting their ranks, as he did with Monti. When Staff Sergeant Giunta received his Medal of Honor, Obama called him ‘Sal’ and ad libbed: ‘I really like this guy’. After hanging the medal around his neck, Obama did not salute him but gave him a hug.
For servicemen, ranks are important – they have worked hard and, in many cases, risked their lives, to earn them. And it’s one thing to omit a rank and another to botch the rank of the highest-ranking Special Forces operator in the country.
Perhaps the broader question is why Obama though it appropriate to talk about how Admiral McRaven had ‘a point of view in terms of how deeply I care about what these folks do each and every day to protect our freedom’.
Military leaders should be respected as non-partisan figures. It is unseemly, at best, for Obama to use Admiral McRaven for political purposes as a character referee to tell voters how much he cares about American troops.

Having spent the last three days sans internet at home (modum was kaput!) I missed out on so much. After reading this, I want to go home and yank the cords out of the wall.
That man is a disgrace. Pure and simple. I’ve no doubt Admiral McRaven will not say a negative thing about this moron -- after all, if he’s still active duty, he literally can’t say anything.
It’s the troops/seamen who have left the service that have plenty to say about this jerk.
“Corpse-men”. “57 states”. “My Muslim…er…my Christian faith.”
All hail Admiral-General Obama!
I can’t believe the race is this close. I pray people are lying to the poll takers to fuck with them and to give this bastard and his party a false sense of security.

The downside of that phenonenon, though, is that they’ll do the same thing with the exit polls, probably to an even higher degree since those are face-to-face encounters.
When the exit poll results turn out to be off by a wide margin, the left will claim that Romney somehow stole the election, just as they did in 2004 with Kerry.
The difference, though, is that nobody was willing to riot on Kerry’s behalf.
Stock up on ammo if you live in a blue area.

I, for one, would love to see the Admiral and several other officers of his caliber, utter the following when obeying his last direct order to them:
“Aye-aye Sir! FUCK YOU SIR!“

I notice libturds threaten with bombs, not guns (OWS Oakland ran like bunnies when a building tenant appeared and racked his shotgun when they showed up at his front door).
That’s what our ace in the hole is, really -- the fact that the right not only OWNS guns -- they can load, aim and fire in a matter of minutes. I know where every choice firing spot is in the condo.

In other good news, it looks like the convention with adjourn until Tuesday right after the call to convene, so that means no national speech for Mike Huckabee.

And one believes this fragmentary report—why, exactly?
I was predicting months ago that Obama would stage an assassination attempt—which he would, of course, survive—close to the election. I still think there is a chance of this.
Obama’s antipathy towards the military, and towards freely-available guns, are both well-known. He controls the prosecutors. Accusing some members of the military of an assassination plot (with privately-purchased ordnance) helps ramp up anti-gun sentiment, and anti-military sentiment which justifies all of those thousands of rounds that DHS has been buying up (remember when Obama said in the 2008 campaign that we “needed a domestic security force as well-armed as the military,” and people blew it off?).
Without additional information—a lot of additional information—it sounds like campaign theater.

Dorian’s Seven Alarm Salsa…
4 Ripe Tomatoes
4 Green Tomatoes
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Yellow Bell Pepper
1 Yellow Banana Pepper
1 California Green Chili
1 Fresno Pepper
1 Habanero Pepper
1 Jalapeno Pepper
1 Poblano Pepper
1 Serrano Pepper
3 Garlic Clove Pieces
1/2 Purple Onion
4 Tbls of Cilantro
2 Tbls Apple Cider Vinegar
2 Tbls Olive Oil
2 Tbls Lemon Juice
1 TBLS Salt
Cube the Tomatoes, all of the peppers have their seeds removed, then cubed, cube the Onion, mince the Garlic, put in large bowl and thoroughly mix. Add in the Cilantro, vinegar, oil, lemon juice and salt while mixing.
(only leave the seeds in the peppers if you are 100 percent absolutely certain you are a glutton for punishment and want your insides from your mouth all the way to you poop chute to burst into flames) You have been warned….
Provided you remove the seeds as the receipt calls for, this is a moderately hot Salsa, leaving out the Habanero Pepper will make it a Mild Salsa, leaving the seeds and including the Habanero Pepper (with seeds) will make it a Seven Alarm Oh My God I’m going to DIE HOT Salsa.

Since the Dems always see Europe as the “social role model” -- this is what you should prepared:
Unilever sees ‘return to poverty’ in Europe
(…)
“Poverty is returning to Europe,” Jan Zijderveld, the head of Unilever’s European business told the Financial Times Deutschlandin an interview.
“If a consumer in Spain only spends €17 when they go shopping, then I’m not going to be able to sell them washing powder for half of their budget.”
Unilever has already started to change the way it sells some of its products. In Spain, the company sells Surf detergent in packages for as few as five washes, while in Greece, it now offers mashed potatoes and mayonnaise in small packages, and has created a low-cost brand for basic goods such as tea and olive oil.

You did. And we sure missed you!

Y@ Guggi:
That is Obama’s model for the United States, and he’s already got the poverty rate higher than it has been in my lifetime. That alone would cost him the Presidency if he were white.

Because of the Euro prices sky rocked. Example: 1 single green pepper was Euro 0.07 (7 cents) 10 years ago but is now Euro 0.69 (69 cents). Apples went up from Euro 1.10 to Euro 2.50, eggs from Euro 0.69 to Euro 1.39 in the last two years. I could go on and on. The average employees lost about one third of their income compared with ten years ago.
People are really fed up but there is no solution because with more than two parties they always build coalitions with the same outcome. Whatever you try you’ll always get the same result and it doesn’t really matter who is the Chancellor/president then.
@ Guggi:
Yeah, Europe is in worse shape than America, and has even less hope of pulling out. We may very well elect a new President with a Republican House and Senate this year. It’s going to be touch and go. Europe doesn’t have that kind of hope.
