| WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama today walked away from a roomful of journalists, leaving Jay Carney to evade numerous media questions about the administration’s semi-secret, closed-door process of killing American citizens who are tied to jihad. The numerous questions were prompted by the release late Monday of the administration’s legal brief explaining why it has the legal and presidential authority to kill overseas Americans in al-Qaida, even without a trial or public due process. “I think you’ve seen in the way that this president

No president in my lifetime has violated so many Federal laws with impunity, nor taken the fantastically narcissistic view that he is a law unto himself. This is the man - who via collateral drone strike damage - has killed some 200 foreign children who we can safely assume were not enemy combatants...and has the cojones to go on television and wax sanctimonious about his ´wisdom which takes precedent over the 2nd Amendment´ because he can point to 20 dead white children?
Impeachment without criminal prosecution is falling short of what´s needed here.

The All-Benificent power of Socialism is thwarted by the Constitution. Thus, the Constitution must be dismantled. This has been the Left´s grand project since the early 20th century. Granting Himself The King the "authority" to kill Americans without trial is just one step in this direction, but an intentional one. A bit of unconstitutional authority here, a bit of unconstitutional authority there - pretty soon no one is able to define where any limits are or should be - and that´s when Himself The King makes the big moves...
Obama could not care less about the spread of Islamofascism. It´s the illegal spread of own power he´s working on here.

The problem here is alqueda could quickly become a "right wing hate group" on American soil.
The media blitz on this is probably a first step into conditioning people to the idea that Obama can become a one man enforcement team at the drop of a hat and for any cause. There´s a method to liberal madness and conditioning the population is a big part of it.
The media ,on every other issue,defends Obama,no matter out outrageous or anti constitutional his actions are. Now all of a sudden they´re bothered by this? i don´t think so.
Obviously the left ca use any hate filled,vile,vitriolic language they want against the right,they have a blank check on it. But at the same time a right winger better keep his mouth shut because he´s inspiring a covert war against our wonderful benevolent government.Have you had your fair shot today?
This is news over illegal aliens projected to cost Obamacare $2 trillion over ten years.there´s no outrage over that at all.
Just imagine the reaction of a conservative president proposing land mines along the border.Every illegal in this country plus the usual liberal suspects would flood the streets with outrage,burning cars,destroying businesses etc.

What part of this article shows them getting a clue? They did not question, fell silent when Carney moved on, did not remark that Zip is a lawyer when told the answer required a lawyer and did not squawk when told "no the policy will not be put on the website". This would be a good country for someone to actually start a real newspaper and hire some true journalists. All we have now is sycophants.

How is killing islamists at a funeral or at an outdoor cafe with a drone different from killing them with a high-powered rifle and a sniper? (Beyond the collateral damage, of course) I thought there is a long-standing executive order against targeted assassinations by the government. And I can vividly recall the Left´s outrage when GWB targeted Saddam´s palaces with air strikes to get him and his sons. But at least those people were heads of a criminal state. This drone program is completely illegal, despite what Obama, Holder, and Carney say. They have incrementally expanded it to allow them to "take out" whoever they want, whenever they want. I have no love or sympathy for islamoterrorists. I do have a problem with a drone hit on the 16-year old son of an islamoterrorist (who was already "droned") while sitting in an outdoor cafe minding his own business. And the deaths of the other cafe patrons. Once killing becomes callous and easy with drones, the next step will be drone attacks on US citizens at Tea Party rallies.

It’s against US law to waterboard a foreign terrorist, but it’s legal to summarily kill an American citizen on the president’s kill list. This administration is out of control. It seems, once again, as Al Gore has said, "there is no controlling authority".

Anyone who supports the Tea Party and believes in the 2nd Amendment could easily become a target under these vague rules of targeting American for killing. I bet he can´t wait to use a drone within the continental United States to further his agenda. Some nutty milita group marching around in the woods somewhere could qualify under these rules of engagement.

There is one way to turn all this presidential, congressioanl madness around....quickly: one network whistleblower will do it. Diane, Scott, Katie, Geraldo, O´Reilly, any one of these semit-triators and full traitors steps forward and confesses the censorship imposed on this highly paid TV network and cable lying career. That´s number one. Number two, any TV person can do without giving up his or her career, and that´s complain daily about the lies of all the others. O´Reilly does not attack his media colleagues on a daily basis. None of the supposed good guys in TV or radio actually concentrate on breaking up the media lies. What do they call it? colleaguial respect? something stupid like that. Nailing the daily Diane Sawyer TV media lies is the best place to start (come on, they are protecting eveybody in Washington!!)

So when Obama says, "c´mon cameraman you are disturbing my flow" over a clicking noise- they laugh, seeing Obama as an Apollo stage host. disgusting. their editors are left-wing Ideaologs currying all this. So in this presser Obama stooges them .In the "kill policy" presser he walks out.

BEGIN RANT Our Monarch Obama is but a symptom. We ask ourselves how Obama could be elected. Our wonderful, informed, Conservative women and minorities here are not included in the following jeremiad...
We have a quandary that was in part instigated by Alinsky. Over the years various groups were given the right to vote based on what was determined to be a Constitutional right. Agreed. It was known at the time, however, that many in these groups were apolitical and had no interest in voting. Along came Alinsky and now his disciple Obama. They agitated these groups into voting with community organizing. Threats of a return to slavery, stealing young women´s birth control pills and other grievances now motivate many people to go to the polls. Political platforms mean nothing. Foreign Policy means nothing. Monetary Policy means nothing. Obama ran on nothing but platitudes, fear and give-aways.
Here is where we are. This will only get worse as time goes by. I think it will take fighting fire with fire. We need to begin doing our own community organizing. END RANT

M: I know. They are just plain evil. By the way, has Holder ever answered your question about whether it would legal to use drones to kill jihadis in the US?
O: Not yet. I’ll bring it up again when I see him.
M: I sure hope he gives us a green light; there are a few reporters that I would like to target for their comments about the girls and my luxury vacations, my bangs, the size of my butt, and the armed security at the girls’ school. Those kinds of vicious attacks would qualify them as jihadis, wouldn’t they, honey?!

What happened to the story that a drone shot down ended up in enemy hands? Is this a measured denial precaution just in case one is used on American soil against white detractors? If it was really shot down and taken into the wrong hands how long will it be until the enemy learns how to send it back to Obama with love.? Live by the drone vs die by the drone seems to super cede the sword.

Washington, D.C.—Something quite unexpected happened just hours ago, in the dark of night, during a two-day layover in Washington, DC. My son and I are scheduled to take part in a seminar outside of Raleigh, North Carolina this weekend, so we combined our travels to include a side-trip to DC for a business meeting we had previously arranged. It was during this layover that something seemingly ripped from the pages of a spy novel took place.

QUINCY – A mystery in Quincy continues to deepen: Who is flying around the city from dusk to dawn, for the past ten days or so? "It’s frightening, not just weird, but frightening,” said one resident of the Wollaston section. Every night for nearly the last two weeks, residents have spotted a low-flying aircraft doing loops over the city. WBZ has learned the FAA knows what’s going on, but the agency isn’t telling. “I mean it is strange. I don’t know if they’re looking for somebody, I have no idea,” one resident told WBZ.

Minutes before the bombs blew up in Boston, Jeff Bauman looked into the eyes of the man who tried to kill him. Just before 3 p.m. on April 15, Bauman was waiting among the crowd for his girlfriend to cross the finish line at the Boston Marathon. A man wearing a cap, sunglasses and a black jacket over a hooded sweatshirt looked at Jeff, 27, and dropped a bag at his feet, his brother, Chris Bauman, said in an interview. Two and a half minutes later, the bag exploded, tearing Jeff’s legs apart.

CBS News has learned that multiple new whistleblowers are privately speaking to investigators with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee regarding the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attacks on the U.S. compounds in Benghazi, Libya. The nature of the communications with the whistleblowers and their identities are not being made public at this time. But in response, the Oversight Committee yesterday sent letters to the three federal agencies involved: the CIA, the Defense Department and the State Department.

Barack Obama´s administration has cut the budget nearly in half for preventing domestic bombings, MailOnline can reveal. Under President George W. Bush, the Department of Homeland Security had $20 million allocated for preventing the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by terrorists working inside the United States. The current White House has cut that funding down to $11 million. That assessment comes from Robert Liscouski, a former Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection, in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15 that killed three Americans and injured at least 173 others.

The Environmental Protection Agency acknowledged Tuesday that it released personal information on potentially thousands of farmers and ranchers to environmental groups, following concerns from congressional Republicans and agriculture groups that the release could endanger their safety. According to a document obtained by FoxNews.com, the EPA said “some of the personal information that could have been protected … was released." Though the EPA has already sent out the documents, the agency now says it has since redacted sensitive details and asked the environmental groups to “return the information.” But Sen.

Yet another new survey shows that Republican supporters know more about politics and political history than Democrats. On eight of 13 questions about politics, Republicans outscored Democrats by an average of 18 percentage points, according to a new Pew survey titled “Partisan Differences in Knowledge.” The Pew survey adds to a wave of surveys and studies showing that GOP-sympathizers are better informed, more intellectually consistent, more open-minded, more empathetic and more receptive to criticism than their fellow Americans who support the Democratic Party. “Republicans fare substantially better than Democrats on several questions in the survey,

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Is Marco Rubio, R-Fla., getting played by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.? During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
