| Washington - A former top aide to President Obama said Sunday the United States now held the upper hand in relations with Iran. Chicago Mayor and former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said world opinion has changed since Obama took office and isolated Iran on the issue of its controversial nuclear program. "Three and a half years ago, the world was criticizing us on Iran," Emmanuel said on ABC's "This Week." "Today, the world is criticizing Iran on its attempt to acquire nuclear weapons. That's a direct change." Emanuel declined direct comment on a New York Times report the

Comments:
That's right Rahm, the tables have turned and Iran has us right where they want us - we are refusing to help Israel and have all but taken the threat of a strategic strike on their nuke facilities off the table. Idiot.

It may be that Rahm is correct that Obama has turned world opinion against Iran, but you know what? Those running the Iranian government don't care. If they can get a nuclear bomb they will use it. That was the situation before Obama took office and it is the situation now. The difference being that Iran is much closer to having a nuclear bomb today than it was when he took office.

IMO Jarrett has given the Mullahs an ultimatum. Sign now or we support an Israeli strike after the election. If we lose then Romney is going to do it anyway. We will see the 'October Surprise' emerge. These people will stop at nothing.

Iran and "I'ma dinner jacket" have every reason to lie to BO and the world. Appease BO with lies and faux compliance, help get BO re-elected because Iran knows that as C-I-C, he will nothing. BO will defer to the UN, ask for sanctions, go on another apology tour and leave Israel under the bus.
As a second-term pres., he has absolutely NO incentive to confront, admonish or threaten Iran. BO's attitude is "Wow...I be gettin four mo years of free stuff without worryin who does what to what to other countrys...as long as I get my free vacays, fancy restaurants, hangin with the celebs and eternal salary."
Oh, by the way Rahm...how is that crime rate in Chicago going?

The mayor of the murder capitol of the world is now giving out advice on controlling violent people. If Obamination thinks that anyone believes he will do anything to solve the Iranian problem, well guess again. The only thing Obama is good at is spending money we don't have. Someone get the straight jacket ready.

Obama is totally desperate.
Iran is within 6 months of having a nuclear weapon, but Obama's priority is a date in November.
Dick Morris says the Obama October surprise will probably be about Iran.
The Gloria Alred Mormon bashing will be a sideshow.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will speak from the White House Friday night following the capture of a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing investigation. Nineteen-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had been holed up in a boat in a Watertown, Mass., neighborhood. His older brother was killed earlier Friday in a furious attempt to escape police. Obama was briefed on the situation throughout the day by Attorney General Eric Holder, FBI Director Robert Mueller and other national security officials.

This has been a strange and deadly week in America. On Monday, two bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon, the first successful terrorist attack on a civilian target on American soil since 9/11. And yet a mere two days later, Boston’s death toll was surpassed by a freak fertilizer accident at a small town in Texas.In America, all atrocities are not equal: Minutes after the Senate declined to support so-called gun control in the wake of the Newtown massacre, the president rushed ill-advisedly on air to give a whiny, petulant performance

South Dakota Republican Sen. John Thune and Indiana Republican Rep.

Thune and Stutzman said their “Streamlining the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Act” would eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse and close loopholes in a program that, under President Obama, has seen participation increase from 32 million to 47.8 million people and spending double to $80 billion in fiscal year 2012. “Since President Obama came into office, SNAP participation has increased at 10 times the rate of job creation

Four months ago, the Boston bombing suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed yesterday in a shootout with police, uploaded to his YouTube Channel an eight-minute lecture by the radical Australian Muslim preacher Sheikh Feiz Mohammed denouncing the Harry Potter movies for glorifying and promoting paganism. “How can you allow your children to watch this?” the sheikh demands in the table-thumping lecture. “This film glorifies, magnifies, promotes paganism…What does Harry Potter do and his devilish schoolmates, what do they do? They cast spells, learn magic, brew potions, learn how to tell the future…And this is called harmless.”

Feiz Mohammad, the radical preacher cited by dead Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, is a former boxer who blames women for being raped and called for a prominent Dutch politician to be beheaded. Widely known as ‘Sheikh Feiz’, the preacher was born in Australia circa 1970-1 but fled to Lebanon, the homeland of his parents, eight years ago after becoming one of the world´s most controversial Islamic lecturers. He has been investigated by Australian police for inciting violence and terrorism, and was even captured on a British TV documentary encouraging children to become martyrs for Islam

A Senate Democratic leadership aide said Reid can bring up the package of gun proposals again if circumstances change and he believes he has the votes for key provisions to pass, particularly a measure to expand background checks on gun buyers.

Yesterday, the most modest of gun control proposals died in the Senate. It would have expanded background checks to people purchasing weapons at gun shows and online sales, enjoyed 90 per cent support among the public and came on the back of the tragedy at Newtown. Yet, despite all that it had going for it, the Toomey-Manchin bill raised just 54 votes--six short of the number necessary for passage. “This is a pretty shameful day for Washington,” said Obama afterwards. It wasn’t exactly a red letter day for him, either. Why did the no-brainer bill fail? Four reasons:

They appear to be from Turkey, possibly Chechens from Turkey. That seems to be the nationality here. We´re told they were not students, in their early twenties. One 20, one 21. We don´t have their names yet. The Associated Press has also said the suspects are from Russian region near Chechnya, and had lived in the US at least one year. 11.25 (06.25) A woman in Watertown has snipers

We are still speculating about virtually everything right now, but I feel as though I need to explain why I find the quick and easy conversation about Muslims being radicalized in America to be so illogical and laced with bigotry. Of course, there is a global violent jihadist movement, loosely organized, that wants to recruit young men to influence policies at home and abroad and perhaps usher in the global caliphate. That ideology motivates some Muslims to kill innocent people.But you´re allowed to be a radical Muslim in America.

While the media are bearing the brunt of public skepticism over the handling of the Boston bombing, the behavior of government is also eroding public trust. Yesterday´s promised but cancelled news briefing is just one symptom. Andrew McCarthy of PJM notes that "Misinformation rather than enlightenment has been the order of the day in the investigation of Monday´s terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon," and that part of it is the natural outgrowth of the desire of investigators to keep the details of their investigations secret, so as not to alert suspects.

He was referencing the compromise authored by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to expand background checks for gun buyers.

The Bears center, who was picked No. 1 overall in the recent WNBA Draft (to the Phoenix Mercury) and is considered by many to be an all-time great in women’s college basketball, casually explained her sexual orientation to Sports Illustrated. Griner was asked by SI’s Maggie Gray on the difference between men’s and women’s sports when it comes to acceptance of sexual orientation; why the WNBA has been able to often embrace many lesbians within their sport, while male sports in America still waits on its first publicly gay player.
