| The Washington Post´s Bob Woodward ripped into President Barack Obama on "Morning Joe" today, saying he´s exhibiting a "kind of madness I haven´t seen in a long time" for a decision not to deploy an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf because of budget concerns. "Can you imagine Ronald Reagan sitting there and saying, ´Oh, by the way, I can´t do this because of some budget document?´" Woodward said. "Or George W. Bush saying, ´You know, I´m not going to invade Iraq because I can´t get the aircraft carriers I need?´" Or even Bill Clinton saying, ´You

It´s hard to know if Woodward likes being provocative, likes the headlines about himself or if he truly is having an epiphany about this dangerous President.

It´s also hard to tell if this president´s ´intellect´ developed while throwing non-stop tantrums as a child - or simply an offshoot of his ´choom´ years.
He certainly hasn´t earned the ´adult in the room´ designation yet, and not likely to at this point...

Zero is a pathetic hack who know nothing other than lies and fear-mongering, expecting him to behave like an adult is an exercise in foolishness.

Serious people from many different fields.......military, mental health and others are edging closer to the big phone and feeling the need to make the call. The BS call.
At some point there may very well be a deluge of professionals who simply cannot remain silent about this OBVIOUS pathology.
Proper dictators, at that point, are faced with implementing summary executions for the crime of asking hard questions or trying to find a new host nation.
The media is critical in this process so.......Woodward´s gonna draw some fire for this.

Unfortunately, nothing can be done about the madness, nor can it be stopped. What is worse it is becoming accepted as the new normal.

It is not "madness." Obama´s actions do not comport with Woodward´s assumptions about what Obama and his crew are up to. That does not mean Obama is mad; it means Woodward´s assumptions are wrong. Remember, when the facts no longer fit the theory, change the theory.
Obama is in effect saying "Unless you give me the matches I need to burn down your house, I will poison your dog." He is waving your dead cat in front of your face to drive home his point.
And it is going to get worse.

Madness give Obie an excuse...´I didn´t know what I was doin´...
Contrary to that is the fact that Obie is obsessed with ´getting back´ at America for what his Marxist stooges pumped into his little brain.
He is also very vindictive and hateful if one doesn´t do what he says.
There you have it!

The bozo in the WH was raised by communist sympathizers, nurtured by a radical communist, surrounded himself with apparent communist sympathizers, and anyone surprized by the actions of this pretender has been asleep since 2007 or else they are drinking the kool-aid.

It is good to hear Woodward starting to take notice, late in the game though it is.
He is starting to take notice - but he doesn´t yet appear to understand what he is seeing. If he did, he wouldn´t call what Obama is trying to do "madness." It is not madness at all. It is deliberate attempt "to fundamentally change the United States of America." Either Obama gets what he wants -higher taxes and more spending- or the wheels begin to come off. Either way, from his point of view, he wins.
He could never get away with this if the electorate did not allow it.
The problem is not Obama. There have always been people like Obama. The problem is a citizenry and a media too ignorant of history and American values to recognize them for what they are.
It ain´t the Prez, who is just another tiresome sophomoric campus radical doing his thing. It´s the people who put him in office and kept him there who are the problem.

We definitely have a mentally deranged person sitting in the White House. Everything about him is wrong. Lies constantly, never keeps his promises, runs around back and forth like a clown to address phony made up emergencies while appearing to be doing "something useful". When a real emergency comes along like Benghazi he is nowhere to be found and then constantly misleads about it. He is vindictive towards the American people who don´t agree with him. Everything he touches turns to rubbish. The scary part is, when this house-of-cards-regime comes tumbling down, it is going to bring the rest of us down with it.

A massive twit-storm washed over your humble columnist yesterday, set off by our Wall Street Journal op-ed defending an Obama nominee and the rights of criminal defendants. To recap briefly: Sen. Claire McCaskill has placed a "permanent hold" on the nomination of Gen. Susan Helms to be vice commander of the Air Force Space Command. McCaskill is punishing Helms for having granted clemency to an officer under her command, Capt. Matthew Herrera, who was convicted of aggravated sexual assault. We reviewed the facts and concluded that Helms was correct in holding that the prosecution case was so

The Senate’s pending immigration bill will pave the way for the arrival of 46 million legal immigrants over the next 20 years, increase the federal debt in the same time period and shrink Americans’ average wage, according Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Session’s critical reading of two new reports on the pending immigration reform bill provided by the Congressional Budget Office. But Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, the most prominent GOP advocate for the immigration reform bill, says the CBO reports are good news for Americans.

Capitol Hill police are trying to block activists attending Wednesday´s "Audit the IRS" rally from also attending a nearly day-long press conference on immigration, hosted by Reps. Steve King and Louie Gohmert. The IRS rally is on the west side of the Capitol, while the immigration event is on the east side. Organizers for the IRS event were told by Hill police that "your people" can only assemble on the west side. Organizers were told to remove the activists from the immigration event.

BERLIN — President Barack Obama is challenging Americans and Europeans not to become complacent even though the Cold War is over. Obama is speaking at Berlin´s iconic Brandenburg Gate nearly 50 years after John F. Kennedy´s famous speech in the once-divided city. Obama says there´s a temptation to turn inward now that barbed wire and concrete walls no longer separate East and West in Berlin. He says he´s returned to Berlin because the tests of our time require the same fighting spirit. He´s pointing to poverty and unemployment as ongoing challenges requiring the world´s

Today’s Morning Jolt features the Pentagon smacking down Secretary of State John Kerry, some politicians going on a showy diet, and then this easily overlooked development . . . Meanwhile, Back in Benghazi . . . Remember my story about the smuggling of shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles in and out of Libya during that country’s civil war? Public reports indicate U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens was working on tracking those missiles when he was attacked and murdered in Benghazi. While the most lurid allegations of U.S. arms smuggling to Libya are not yet proven, the Obama administration

WASHINGTON -- Former Congressman Allen West says challenging Senator Marco Rubio in the 2016 Republican Florida primary election would be a daunting task. "That´s a pretty heavy lift, because you´re talking about running against a sitting senator, and then, of course, that creates that schism that the other side would love to see happen," said West, who appeared as a guest co-host on WMAL´s Mornings on the Mall Wednesday. West was pressed further by WMAL´s Larry O´Connor, who asked him directly if he would rule out a challenge against Rubio

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would win Florida against both Sen. Marco Rubio and former Gov. Jeb Bush in the 2016 presidential election, a new poll finds. If the election were held today, Clinton would top Bush 50 percent to 43 percent, and she would best Rubio 53 percent to 41 percent, according to Wednesday’s survey from Quinnipiac. Vice President Joe Biden would trail both of Florida’s Republican favorites. If he were the Democratic candidate, Bush would win 47 percent to 43 percent, and Rubio would narrowly defeat Biden 45 percent to 43 percent.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

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

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

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.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. 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.
