Editing Bolsters Obama’s
Role in SEALs Film

New York Times, by Michael Cieply and Briant Stelter

Original Article

Posted By:pineledger, 10/24/2012 7:04:23 AM

Los Angeles--Thanks to the magic of editing, President Obama will have a starring role in a television drama about one of his biggest accomplishments — the killing of Osama bin Laden — that will be shown just two nights before the presidential election. But the star turn is virtually certain to bolster claims that the approximately 90-minute film amounts to a political stunt. Set for a prime-time debut on Nov. 4 on the National Geographic Channel, and a release the next day on Netflix, the film — “SEAL Team Six: The Raid

Comments:
Correction: Not HIS biggest accomplishments. The SEALs'.

Don't you just love it when people take credit for others' work?

What? Are they going to take out the scene from him playing golf while the attack was going on? Or are they editing him into the actual boots on the ground action suited up in military gear complete with head mic to call the plans?

It's hard to believe they're putting so much faith in this cable tv movie to drag obama across he finish line.

I really don't think Obama is the one who pulled the trigger on this and it's possible he didn't even know it was going on.How many people would be playing golf during something this important. The think intelligence got tried of obama's stalling on this and pulled the trigger themselves.

Let's hope this film doesn't cause otherwise peace-loving Muslims to become upset and do something drastic. One has to wonder whether bragging and boasting about the Bin Laden killing is in America's strategic interests at this point. It is certainly a foolish tactic for Obama's campaign for him to insert himself into what was in reality a professional military operation and to claim credit for its success. In trying to make himself look bigger and better he merely manages to look small and vain.

I hear the edit is to put Obama's face on one of the SEAL's bodies like America's Funniest Videos does with Tom Burgerone.

Does Obama know that as the President of teh United Staes, he needs to spend some time actually WORKING and not just campaigning?

His work ethic needs some work!

How are they portraying him in the movie? A silver knight on a HORSE with a BAYONET charging at Bin laden?

I'm sure if they had their way he would be the first one up the stairs and killing Bin Laden. That won't fly because too many people saw him on the golf course.

So, in a last-minute attempt to paint Obama as a hero who DOES care about the safety of America and its citizens, the president will star in a film about his decision to kill Osama bin Laden.

Although his Muslim pals have probably been notified that the film is a necessary 'stunt' for him to secure another 4 years in the White House, there are bound to be Islamic terrorists who are not amused.

Barry O got his boost from the OBL kill 18 months ago. A movie on Nat. Geo network isn't going to change that. I wouldn't have even known about it except for Lucianne.com. Do you really think the easily-swayed will watch?

Odd.... the 2016 movie is out on DVD and has yet to make it's appearance on Netflix.

Something to ponder if you're considering Netflix.

Information just now released says that Panetta did not tell O until the SEALs were on the way as Valerie Jarrett did not want the capture at that time.

I suspect she wanted to wait until closer to the election.

The Republicans are definitely on the ball with their ads and can put them together quickly. A huge one is needed with pictures of the SEAL Team, their faces covered, and editorials about who really did this job. Perhaps some reference back to George W wanting OBL found dead or alive. Some video of SEALs training on the beaches and in the water while BHO frolics in the water while on vacation. SEALs shown dropping from helicopters into danger zones while BHO boards Air Force One. A scene on the golf links and of our coward-in-chief munching on all his favorite fatty foods, the ones outlawed by Mooche. A voice-over can say how the SEALS do not seek, nor do they want, the limelight or publicity because the job they do is dangerous even for such highly skilled men who have been trained for such tasks.

Yeah, when he gets his library, out in front will be a statue of Obama in armor, astride a war horse, with a sword in one hand, and in the other, the severed head of Osama bin Laden. And on the base it will say: "The future does not belong to those who slander the prophet of Allah." Because what he has learned as Commander in Chief is that you don't send mixed messages to other world leaders.

Obama's role.... ROFL.
Was he on the 8th hole, or was it the 15th?
These are important details that shouldn't be glossed over.

FTA - " his company had insisted on removing a scene that showed Mitt Romney appearing to oppose the raid. We wouldn’t air this if it were propaganda, he said."

How could it be anything else but propaganda if they inserted this fallacy into the plot!

Some Banks Halt Foreclosures,
Citing Regulator´s Bulletin
Wall Street Journal, by Nick Timiraos    Original Article
Posted By: pineledger- 5/18/2013 4:22:58 AM     Post Reply
Some of the nation´s largest banks, including Wells Fargo [WFC +1.58%] & Co., suspended foreclosure sales in a number of states following guidance issued last month by federal banking regulators. While some foreclosures have since resumed, the halt marks the latest dustup over how foreclosures are handled. Banks said their actions were triggered by a four-page bulletin issued last month by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve. The bulletin outlined basic operating standards for foreclosure sales. Many of the nation´s largest banks were already operating under consent orders with the OCC or the Fed

Common-sense politics devolve into a season of craziness in this engrossing account of the 2012 U.S. presidential campaign. Journalist Alter follows up his bestselling The Promise: President Obama, Year One with a savvy dissection of the 2010–2012 election cycle and related political dogfights, including budget and debt-ceiling showdowns, the Republican primary circus, and the “Obama Derangement Syndrome” infecting Tea Partiers and talk-radio hosts. At the center are rich portraits of the antagonists: Obama is seen as a cerebral antipolitician with no “schmooze gene” who hates back-slapping, slogan-spewing theatrics; Romney is portrayed as a well-meaning

Let’s face it. The Great Gatsby never has been—and probably won’t ever be—successfully turned into a great motion picture. Many have tried (four flop movies, not to mention various small-screen attempts, including a truncated but memorable Playhouse 90 with Robert Ryan and Jeanne Crain in the golden days when TV still knew what quality programming was). Robert Redford was a perfect Gatsby in the pretty but boring 1974 version by Jack Clayton, but the movie was dead on arrival. The best I’ve seen is still Elliott Nugent’s black-and-white 1949 version, with Alan Ladd at the top of his form

Billion dollar bet

It may go down as one of the great currency bets in Australian dollar history – a $US1 billion gamble on a Reserve Bank rate cut that has delivered a $US19 million ($18.65m) profit in 36 hours. The beneficiary, if you believe the rumour mill, is investment legend George Soros. Best of all, it appears the 82-year-old American pulled off the deal three times, all with different foreign exchange brokers in Asia, for a tidy profit of almost $US60 million. (Snip)Back in 1992, based on British government policy changes, Soros famously shorted the British pound,

Oskar Lafontaine, the German finance minister who launched the euro, has called for a break-up of the single currency to let southern Europe recover, warning that the current course is "leading to disaster". "The economic situation is worsening from month to month, and unemployment has reached a level that puts democratic structures ever more in doubt," he said. "The Germans have not yet realised that southern Europe, including France, will be forced by their current misery to fight back against German hegemony sooner or later," he said,

U.S. President Barack Obama gives the commencement address to the graduating class of The Ohio State University at Ohio Stadium on May 5, 2013 in Columbus, Ohio. PRESIDENT OBAMA: Unfortunately, you´ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that´s at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They´ll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices.

After months of weighing potential candidates, President Obama finally has his pick for the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees the housing giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Obama wants to tap Representative Mel Watt, a Democrat from North Carolina. Confirmation is far from a sure thing. Watt’s nomination has been met with cheers by many groups that work with borrowers, from the National Community Reinvestment Coalition to MoveOn.org, though some liberals say he’s too close with banks, which are a big part of North Carolina’s economy.

But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
