| In remarks with Afghan president Hamid Karzai at the White House this afternoon, President Barack Obama said the U.S. has fallen "short of the ideal" in Afghanistan: "So, you know, I think that, have we achieved everything that some might have imagined us achieving in the best of scenarios? Probably not. You know, there´s a human enterprise, and you know, you fall short of the ideal," said Obama.

Comments: That tall, skinny, dark, slimy Communist in the White House had better damn sure NOT lay comments like that at the feet of the American Military or the American Public. It is a failure and a cowardice and an inability to complete a task that gets laid at HIS feet, if not jammed in his smug face. And, given the chance, a lot of people would jam it in his face.
Please split a headline in the middle. LCom Staff.

No more bragging! Has he stopped saying "Me, "I" or is that only when something turns out good and he wants to take "all" the credit, but if it doesn´t go well, let´s blame US, the "whole" country!
Obama has never learned to be a leader, one who accepts responsibility for his decisions.
Contrast Obama with Bush and you will find the differnce between "who" loves America and one who doesn´t - only himself.
I think maybe Obama should dispose of his mirror. He only sees himself as the center of any situation.
Retirement is not going to be easy for Obama, his wife or his childre, for he only thrives on constant attention!
America is finally witnessing what was promised - total control - a Dictator in the making!

If Afghanistan, by some miracle, had been a success story, we would be hearing I, I, I, all over the place. The only thing here falling short of the ideal is Obama, waaaaay short.
As for the other imbecile, he can´t even teach his soldiers who is the enemy and who is protecting his sorry muslim butt. Our young men and women deserve better in a CIC.

Tell that to the 1545 families who have met flag draped coffins since this America hating thing became CINC. Soetero´s rules of engagement in Afghanistan the last four years were specifically designed to always give the Tollybon the advantage. Bill " I loathe the military " Clinton is a flag waving patriot compared to Lil Barry.

Sadly, these astonishing remarks by this undocumented Marxist lowlife were, most likely, played on every television set throughout the halls, meeting rooms and wards of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland and every Veterans Hospital/Clinic across America.

The Marxist contemplates his navel deeply but only discovers accumulated greasy belly button fuzz. Unsatisfied, he gazes ever more deeply and finds his navel staring back at him. This is the depth and breadth of his wisdom.

Jesus.... Does this narcissist realize trashing your own nation does not create admiration around the world but condemnation & pity?
Are there that many nations drooling at the opportunity to give up their sovreignty & join the NWO? I think not.
I envision a pot smoke filled room,with nasty, evil, bored billionaires trying to entertain themselves by playing gods. These are the ones Obama is dancing for.
I hate to say it but I feel safer under Putin than Obama... Having trashed all our old allies, Obama has forged our only current alliance with The Muslim Brotherhood. Super.

“Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say ´what should be the reward of such sacrifices?´ Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!”

When Obama talked about America coming up short in Afghanistan he was really talking about himself. Since the Obama crew has failed to come up with a winning strategy in Afghanistan, the smart thing to do is bug out as quickly as possible, to stay there without any chance of winning is really only putting the lives of American service members on the line for a big nothing.

"We have had presidents we have loved and hated, but never one that hated US; until now" (my quote)
Our first PC war. A zillion dollars for our soldiers to be killed or wounded and equipment lost. They were nothing more than armed baby sitters for a group that hates US. All while their families waited to see if they would return home alive.
In a real war, somebody wins and somebody loses.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
