Barack Obama Pulls a Move
Almost Worthy of Saddam Hussein

PJ Media, by Bryan Preston

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 2/27/2013 4:56:09 AM

Shortly before U.S. troops stormed Iraq to oust its dictator, Saddam Hussein released thousands of prisoners from Iraqi jails. Some were petty criminals, some were hardcore, some were terrorists. Hussein unleashed them to build his own popularity and to sow chaos. Today, Barack H. Obama’s Department of Homeland Security is doing this: The sequester is officially still three days away, but the Obama administration already is making the first cuts, with officials confirming that the Homeland Security Department has begun to release what it deems low-priority illegal immigrants from detention. The move is proving controversial. Immigrant-rights groups say

How many American citizens will be slaughtered as a result of the mass release of these human assault weapons of mass destruction?

The depraved murderous Islamonazi squatting in the White House will have blood on his hands.

If ever there was a ‘Must Read’, this is IT. Not solely for the sharp points it makes, but to make sure Washington’s Illegal-Immigrant-in-Chief sees — up front — his similarity to the original Hussein.

Originally I wrote ‘likeness’, but changed it to ‘similarity’ when I remembered that the original Hussein released prisoners as a response to the U.S. . . . not to give Hussein’s own citizens the finger.

This move by Dear Leader could be called blackmail or extortion, but whatever it is it is the mark of a man who hates his country.

But he knows the GOP will not hold him accountable, for anything, so - why not?

The media has gifted us with Obama. Had they done their job, he would have been toast in the 2008 primary. They have no intention of doing anything other than fully supporting him and his policies. Factor in the weakness of the Republican Party and the future is looking pretty grim. Obama is on a mission to destroy this country. Releasing illegal aliens is just another in a long line of tyrannical acts perpetrated on the American public by a faux president, his fawning press, and enabling opposition. When one man has this much power, we cease to be a Republic. Tyranny is tyranny whether under Great Britain or an American President.

Spot on #5 but who in the public spotlight will have the courage to call this blackmail / extortion for what it is?

Isn´t it stunning if a cut of 2% in spending with projected growth necessitates curtailment of vital government services? Doesn´t that make the case in and of itself for a major reset in policy? These bafoons have the unmitigated gall to admit total failure as if we are all too stupid to recognize it for such.

If this isn´t a call to action I don´t know what is.

I believe the french revolution was also begun by the release of prisoners. When criminals are running the show they favour their own. Obama will clearly sacrifice all the legitimate functions of government Law and Order and Defence first to hang onto all the unconstitutional bloat. Nothing that should be cut will be cut. He is at war with patriotic american citizens until they give him a blank cheque to spend, spend, spend. Trillions are added to the budget baseline and the baseline is increased by 10% each year and it is never enough. When the 10% increase becomes 8% he throws a tantrum like this. The first dime of any cut is calculated to shut down the most important functions of government. There will be no law and order and the military will be used against citizens and he wonders why people cling to their guns!

The liberal Democrats look at the vast majority of illegal aliens as prospective new liberal Democrat voters after they get the wimpy Republicans in the Congress to sign on to a few procedural papers. If the Republicans can´t figure that out they belong on a long slide to political oblivion.

One of the sheriffs in AZ was on Fox News with Greta last night. He said ICE started doing this over the weekend paying overtime to the employees who processed these criminals being released on the public. The sheriff made the point that the two most important functions of government are to protect the public ( from criminals), and national security and Obama is threatening to take away those functions to get his own way. ICE told the AZ sheriffs afterwards that they are not releasing murderers, just "criminal" criminals.

It seems to me that there have been many instances where 0bama and most dems could be prosecuted for treason; for malfeasance and a host of other crimes. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. So many violations of the constitution. Czar appointments. Executive orders - removing Congress from it´s duties. Conscience matters. A host of things "they" have done and continue to do. Nothing happens to them. Nothing. Spineless pubbies in Congress will not stand up to 0bama. We the people, once get upset and then we forget about it. And you can figure out the rest of it. One lie becomes truth. Treason? Big time. Tea Party accused of heinous crimes? We are screwed. Nothing legal will bring them down. We have no recourse. I guess we just have to accept it all and shut up.

Obama´s vindictive action against the citizens of the USA is going to backfire, just give it time for the crimes committed by the released to begin adding up. What a mind of a child with a grudge against America.

Don´t tell us there isn´t enough money to keep these illegals in jails: rechannel the money spent on Obama´s travels and the 30,000 drones they plan to have in the US skies by 2020. That should go a long way.

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of the 1993 first bombing of the World Trade Center, which was the beginning of the Islamic jihad against America.

Release of illegals detained is not the release of convicted illegal status criminals.
The first question is why were they detained instead of deported.Deportation would have meant we do would not have housed and fed them at great cost.
2nd question why are so many playing chicken little crying the sky is falling and it´s all those nasty RINO´s fault. That is especially distasteful because those called Rino´s are fellow anti- obama´s who just happen to disagree with the name callers about procedures.
In about 30 ( GOP controled ) states law enforcers should round up these illegals and join forces to do the necessary deportation.
Also consider this is revenge for the deportation hearing to send back to Africa Obe´s illegal status uncle.
One more comment -- the only racial part concerns black detainees from Africa.

In re #25, the November election was ours to lose. Due to a number of reasons I have expressed before, Obie´s divide and conquer strategy among the opposition ranks worked. Either we voted for Romney, voted for other offices, but could not/would not vote for Romney, or did not vote at all. That is why we let Obie get away with it now.

Eliana Johnson reports that four Republican members of the Senate Judiciary — Jeff Sessions, Chuck Grassley, Mike Lee, and Ted Cruz — are calling for transparency from their GOP colleagues in the “Gang of Eight” that is drafting immigration reform legislation. In a letter to John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, and Jeff Flake, the four Judiciary Committee members express concern that an immigration reform bill will be rushed through Congress without proper oversight in the form of hearings and robust debate. They note that the Gang has “secretly met for months” without consulting

The Supreme Court could soon end one of the federal government´s most archaic practices. Since the 1930s, the Agriculture Department has turned California raisin growers into pawns of its Raisin Administrative Committee, which can commandeer up to half of the farmer´s crop and then pay them little or nothing for the product. Marvin Horne, a 67-year-old raisin farmer in Fresno, Calif., was fined almost $700,000 for refusing to surrender control of much of his harvest to the government committee in 2002.

Neither — it´s the story told by a 1622 shipwreck whose treasures were desperately needed to shore up the finances of the struggling Spanish Empire. The galleon Buen Jesus y Nuestra Senora del Rosario was one of 28 ships in the Tierra Firme fleet; all were sailing from the New World back to Spain, laden with colonial treasures,

How the ´indispensable man´ became
America´s only six-star general

Historian James Thomas Flexner referred to George Washington as "the indispensable man." Americans all know he was a general, but have you ever wondered what grade of general? How many stars did Gen. Washington have? In today´s Army, a one-star general is a brigadier; two stars is a major general; three stars is a lieutenant general; four stars is just plain general. During World War II, Congress created the five-star general, the modern rank of general of the Army. There had been an earlier grade that was called general of the Army,

On March 30, three days after North Korea severed a military hotline with the South and announced that South Korean President Park Geun-hye “will meet a miserable ruin,” the country declared a state of war. “The time has come to stage a do-or-die final battle,” an official statement said. Meanwhile, many of South Korea’s youth were worried about something else. A 25-year-old pop star named Seo In-guk had appeared on a popular reality TV show the night before and, in a misstep that quickly dominated online conversations, had washed his strawberries incorrectly.

If you had an extortion investigation in your "what twists the Rutgers basketball scandal will take next" pool, well, collect your winnings. Also, buy a lottery ticket because you may be telepathic. Because the F.B.I. is investigating Eric Murdock, the whistleblowing former assistant coach, for extortion. University officials let it slip to The New York Times´ Steve Eder that Federal Bureau of Investigation officers recently visited the campus and met with athletic director Tim Pernetti sometime before Pernetti was fired on Friday. They´re trying to determine whether or not Murdock, the former director of player development,

Imagine the pitch to a History Channel executive for the smash hit The Bible. Here’s one scenario: Producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett: “Hi, we want to produce a story that appeals to all age groups. It’s has everything: love, lust, greed, war, self-sacrifice and redemption. It’s called ‘The Bible.’” Executive: “Could you repeat that? You said ‘The Bible’?” RD and MB: “Yes – we want to retell the Bible for this generation. And we think we can make money doing it. We’ve done a lot of market research —there is no competition out there.”

Since the Shermans of General Patton´s Third Army crossed the Rhine on March 22, 1945, there have been American tanks in Germany. No more, as John Vandiver of Stars and Stripes reports. The U.S. Army’s 69-year history of basing main battle tanks on German soil quietly ended last month when 22 Abrams tanks, a main feature of armored combat units throughout the Cold War, embarked for the U.S. The departure of the last M-1 Abrams tanks coincides with the inactivation of two of the Army’s Germany-based heavy brigades.

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

The city councilman who bungled his way into federal bribery charges is also a total bonehead in his kooky heathen religion — whose members wear medieval garb, make sacrifices to multiple gods and compete in combat games. Dan Halloran (R-Queens) — who was arrested Tuesday as the suspected bag man in state Sen. Malcolm Smith’s alleged plot to buy his way onto the mayoral ticket — has been publicly flogged and lost a spear-throwing contest as part of his Theodish punishments. Halloran converted in the 1980s from Catholicism to the pre-Christian Germanic religion, whose believers drink mead

“Nice puff piece on San Francisco’s Trash Inspectors” in the Atlantic, one of Ace’s co-bloggers quips. “I can’t quite put my thumb on why California has a debt issue. It couldn’t be paying people to do stuff like this can it?” The piece highlights — I take it back, praises — nanny-state intrusiveness to the nth-degree: To help improve the city’s landfill diversion rate, Slattery and his crew pound the pavement, both in the early morning and in the evening, keeping tabs on what’s being thrown out and educating people about the three-bin system.

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained to the Women in the World summit in New York today that the clock is turning back for women in America. Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

SANFORD - Trayvon Martin´s parents have settled a wrongful death claim for an amount believed to be more than $1 million against the homeowners association of the Sanford subdivision where their teenage son was killed. Their attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed that paperwork at the Seminole County Courthouse, a portion of which was made public today. In the five pages of the settlement that were available for public review, the settlement amount had been marked out. Lower in the agreement, the parties specified that they would keep that amount confidential. When asked during an earlier interview whether the amount was

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
