Deceiver in Chief

American Spectator, by Ron Ross Original Article

Posted By: StormCnter- 3/20/2013 6:25:28 AM Post Reply

Barack Obama’s most dangerous talent is his ability to make people believe he’s something he’s not. He is not recognized for whom and what he is, especially the fact that he does not like the country he’s governing. He is effective because he has successfully hidden his true objectives. (Snip) The key ingredient in his power lies in his ability to deceive. People do not want to believe that he does not like the country. Our country is in collective state of denial. Barack Obama is arrogant, intolerant, mean, dishonest, vengeful, and ruthless. He does not wish us well.

Sessions, GOP allies ask for
hearings on secret immigration bill

Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions and five other Republican senators are trying to stop the Senate’s Democratic leaders from rushing a huge business-backed amnesty and guest-worker bill through the Senate before it can be debated by the public. On March 19, Sessions and the other senators sent a letter asking Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy, the chairman of the Senate judiciary committee, to schedule hearings on the complex bill. “We respectfully request that the public be given adequate time, consistent with past practice in handling complex comprehensive immigration legislation,

Perhaps this qualifies: Political analysts Larry Sabato and Kyle Kondik find it more likely that the Democrats will lose the Senate in 2014 than that they will win the House. They write: Based on historical measures, it would take a massive popular preference for Democrats to overcome their logistical disadvantage, perhaps an almost unheard-of lead of 13 points in the generic ballot questions pollsters use (“will you vote Democratic or Republican for House in the next election?”). Currently, the generic ballot shows a slight Democratic lead of two to three points. As for the Senate:

Painting a picture of truly lost art

I hate to be a gloomy Gus, but what if there’s nobody left alive who knows where the missing $500 million worth of stolen Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum paintings, etc., are stashed? It doesn’t matter who robbed the museum. The only thing that matters is where the paintings are. That’s what I couldn’t figure out about the Monday press conference. It was the 23rd anniversary, and obviously the feds didn’t want it turning in to one of the latter-day Whitey-on-the-lam press conferences on his birthday — namely, an excuse for the media to beat up the FBI again

Big, Bloated, and Bumbling

The Department of Homeland Security came under fire at a congressional hearing on Tuesday for bloated payrolls, misleading statements about the sequestration, and failing to prepare adequately for the impending budget cuts. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held the latest in several hearings to review executive agencies’ implementation of the recommendations by their inspectors general. This hearing focused on the Department of Defense and the Department Homeland Security. The sequestration cuts loomed over the hearing, even though Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) noted at the outset that the hearing was not about the mandatory cuts

Nonprofit buys house across from
Westboro Baptist Church and paints

The Westboro Baptist Church has a colorful new neighbor, and Roy G. Biv isn’t going anywhere soon. Planting Peace, a Destin, Fla.-based nonprofit, has purchased a house directly across from the notoriously homophobic Westboro Baptist Church, and today it is being painting with the rainbow pattern of the gay pride flag. President and founder Aaron Jackson, 31, told the Daily News that this all started when he came across the picture of nine-year-old Josef Miles countering the Westboro Baptist Church’s picketing with a small sign written in pencil that simply said “Gods hates no one.” Jackson checked to see

Rage over the waste and injustice of agents sent by the federal government to bang on doors of law-abiding citizens to ask probing, creepy questions is normally something that bubbles up only every 10 years. But ever since the federal government became a cancerous leviathan, the outrage is now an annual occurrence. The first census in 1790 asked a bare minimum of questions essential for establishing congressional districts of equal populations. Despite the abhorrent practice of slavery at the time — and the counting of blacks for purposes of their fractional apportionment — the whole endeavor was aimed at fairness.

Reno Saccoccia is the Joe Paterno of Steubenville, Ohio. The man has been coaching Steubenville High´s Big Red football tean for 30 years, he´s amassed an 85-percent winning percentage for the program — a glimmer of school pride in a fading former steel country now synonymous with rape — and, according to testimony and evidence presented in the town´s high-profile trial last week, his quarterback says he knew about child abuse that his coach failed to report. Paterno lost his job; Saccoccia hasn´t. But Coach Sac´s days may be numbered: Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine

Excuses, excuses from

At CPAC last week we noticed Rick Perry saying the Republicans lost in 2012 because their nominee wasn´t conservative, which one must say was quite rich. And why was the nominee not a conservative? Perhaps because Perry failed. He came into the primaries a governor of a large state, with an excellent record, a "big" personality, a reputation as a ferocious campaigner, and for some reason bombed quickly, leaving Mitt Romney the last sane man standing in a field of conservatives whose credentials were lacking and whose personalities verged on bizarre. We heard Phyllis Schlafly, all but unchanged since her Goldwater moment,

‘Assault Weapons’ Bill

Today in utterly predictable developments, Dianne Feinstein’s “assault weapons” bill was dropped by Harry Reid. The BBC reports: US lawmakers will ditch a plan to ban assault weapons, all but killing off a key part of a gun control campaign prompted by a recent school massacre. Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein said her proposal would be left out of the firearms control bill. Democratic Senate leader Harry Reid made the decision, saying the proposal could not get enough votes. Still, the White House is not going to let

The Associated Press is standing by its report that Sen. Rand Paul intended to back a path to citizenship in his speech Tuesday to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, despite the fact that he did not do so, and despite claims from advisers that the AP´s story is wrong. "AP stands by its story. In a copy of his prepared speech given to AP by his office Monday night, Sen. Paul made clear that illegal immigrants would have a path towards probationary legal status and then towards a green card, which allows people to eventually apply to become U.S. citizens,"

a missile that upset Russia

THE OBAMA administration’s restructuring of plans for missile defense appears, for the most part, to be a rational response to changing circumstances, including an increasing threat from North Korea. However, it raises questions about whether the administration chose to address one of Russia’s largest concerns about a Europe-based missile system without obtaining any concessions from Moscow in return. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel chose Friday afternoon, the traditional time for releasing potentially controversial news, to announce that the administration would add 14 interceptors to an anti-missile base in Alaska and deploy a new radar in Japan. The deployment, which essentially reversed

This week Harry Reid will make what sadly passes for history in our nation’s capital these days when his Democratic Senate passes its first budget in four years. For the normal human being, the thought that must immediately come to mind is this: “Why should anyone care?” Good question. The answer is that so much of what is so wrong with how our government handles our money these days — especially our manufactured debt-ceiling crises — stems from a Democratic Senate that has been refusing to do its job. Here’s how it works: President Obama and the Democratic Senate want a fiscal policy

Empty Detroit firehouses

Detroit firefighters discovered Monday that thieves took a TV, a computer, food, tools and soft drinks from the machine at an east-side station, the latest of a series of thefts at city firehouses. Such thefts are increasing after cuts led to unmanned stations, Detroit Fire Department officials said. The Fire Department´s agreement with the Detroit Fire Fighters Association includes a clause to reimburse staff for items they buy, such as TVs, kitchen supplies and personal items.

Depending on how much you think “priceless” means, what’s probably the biggest art theft of all time took place 23 years ago this week at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has led the search for the missing masterpieces ever since: a Vermeer, two Rembrandts, a Manet, a Degas, and eight less important works. More than two decades later, no arrests have been made. No art has been recovered. And when the Feds announced Monday that they had “new information” on the heist, no meaningful details were given.

Who the hell is New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to presume that he has a say in what I or any other American chooses to drink? Of course, the answer for any self-respecting citizen is that he has no such say, and the proper response to him and his legion of petty fascist fan boys is the suggestion that they pucker up – and I will politely decline to identify what they should kiss. It’s a sad commentary that the once boisterous, independent, take-no-guff New Yorker of the past has been replaced by a gutless, cowardly supplicant

If history is any judge, the U.S. government will be paying for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars for the next century as service members and their families grapple with the sacrifices of combat. An Associated Press analysis of federal payment records found that the government is still making monthly payments to relatives of Civil War veterans — 148 years after the conflict ended. At the 10 year anniversary of the start of the Iraq war, more than $40 billion a year are going to compensate veterans and survivors from the Spanish-American War from 1898, World War I and II,

Three years ago, Mark Sanford was the “disgraced governor,” the butt of late-night comedians who joked about his torrid affair with an Argentinian journalist and bogus hike on the Appalachian trail. On Tuesday, voters in the GOP primary for the 1st Congressional District sent him into a runoff, almost certainly against Curtis Bostic, a former member of Charleston County Council who finished a distant second in a crowded field. In unofficial results, Sanford had 37 percent of the more than 53,000 votes cast. Bostic had 13 percent, narrowly edging state Sen. Larry Grooms with 12 percent. Teddy Turner, the

Singer-songwriter Michelle Shocked has shocked fans after launching an anti-gay rant onstage in San Francisco on Sunday night. The singer – who became a favourite of leftwing music fans with early albums such as The Texas Campfire Tapes and Short Sharp Shocked, but who is now a born-again Christian – began telling the crowd her views of Proposition 8, California´s legal definition of marriage being a union between a woman and a man. "When they stop Prop 8 and force priests at gunpoint to marry gays, it will be the downfall of civilisation, and Jesus will come back,"

Can you see the pattern yet? In Cyprus, everybody with a bank account is going to have a portion of his savings confiscated by the government (or maybe not, if they have a small enough amount of money in the bank to be officially excused from the cull). This fit of kleptocracy is supposed to be justified by the large numbers of Russian money launderers and currency smugglers who are known to be using Cypriot banks as a haven for their illicit cash. So what if you are a blameless resident of that island who happens to have your life

When Barack Obama and his 600-strong entourage touch down at Israel´s Ben Gurion airport at midday they will be met with tepid political and diplomatic expectations but spectacular pomp. One thousand American and Israeli flags are already fluttering in the streets of Jerusalem. Billboards boast of the "Unbreakable Alliance" Mr Obama is hoped to cement during his first visit to the Holy Land as president. Preparations have been under way for weeks. On Monday, helicopters hovered above Jerusalem´s Givat Ram airfield for more than three hours, rehearsing the flight President Obama will take from the Tel Aviv airport.

Lakewood — Gov. Chris Christie said today that New Jersey has asked the federal government for $250 million in Blue Acre funds to purchase homes in flood plains in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. "(It) would be a significant increase in the amount of money," Christie said at a gathering in Lakewood. "One of the places we´re really focusing on with Blue Acres will be Middlesex County." Christie called it ironic than in a place like Union Beach, which was "fairly well destroyed" by Hurricane Sandy, residents want to rebuild, but owners of homes repeatedly damaged by flooding in South River
