President Obama News Thread

[Jet Gorgon]

How about Feb? Let's see Jan unemployment #s.

[dotcom]

So last night - we get to listen to another bozobabam mouthpiece/can carrier. This time it's Brennan. He closely resembles that other radical - Eric Holder.

btm line - these nimrods do not believe we are in a war on terror. No this is a law enforcement matter. Let the police handle it.

His prasie of Janey Incompetitent-ano was glowing. He is so proud to serve with her - even though she has no qualifications - sort of like the big nimrod himself - the beige messiah.


Barry - here is an alternative plan. Repudiate the Bush strategy. 1) Bring all our troops home - yeah Germany - Korea - Japan - Iraq - Afganistan - Diego Garcia - Bahrain - Singapore - Cuba. 2) Close GITMO & release the prisioners. Buy them airline tickets to wherever they want to go. Monaco , Switzerland, Florida, NYC Hawaii.
3) Fall back & create fortress USA. Nothing in nothing out. Fuck what happens in France Germany Holland Spain England - let them solve their own problems.

Too right attaboy. Not to mention the treatment Clarence Thomas got. Because he wasn't a porch nigger the Dems tried to crucify him.

that other radical - Eric Holder.

After graduating from law school, Holder joined the U.S. Justice Department's new Public Integrity Section during an interval lasting from 1976 to 1988. During his time there, he assisted in the prosecution of Democratic Congressman John Jenrette for bribery discovered in the Abscam sting operation. In 1988, then-President Ronald Reagan appointed Holder to serve on the Bench as a Judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.

Holder stepped down from the bench in 1993 to accept an appointment for U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia from then-President Bill Clinton. He was the first black American U.S. Attorney in that office. At the beginning of his tenure, he oversaw the conclusion of the corruption case against Dan Rostenkowski, part of the Congressional Post Office scandal. He was a U.S. Attorney until his elevation to Deputy Attorney General in 1997. Holder also served on The George Washington University's Board of Trustees in 1996 and 1997.

So you are advocating releasing all Gitmo prisoners into (among others) Florida, NYC and Hawaii? An interesting proposition..

1) Bring all our troops home - yeah Germany - Korea - Japan - Iraq - Afganistan - Diego Garcia - Bahrain - Singapore - Cuba.

Interesting again, as that seems to be what an American conservative philosophy would probably advocate. Neocons? Not so much... They love the smell of war in the morning.

Holder is a fucking bomb thrower, obviously, at least as viewed from "Conservative" Planet X.

Heh...didn't take long for the bloom to off the rose, eh?

Obama Moving America To The Right? “Only a fourth of all Americans approve of the direction Obama and Congress are taking the country, according to a Gallup survey. A similarly dismal proportion approve of the job being done by Congress under the leadership of Reid and Pelosi. Nearly three-fourths of those surveyed prefer that Congress do nothing to reform health care rather than take final action on either the Senate or House versions of Obamacare. And 79 percent of Americans view government corruption as the most important issue facing the country.”

Only a year in office and it's going to rat-shit already. This might be setting a new record! Took Jimmuh twice as long before voters caught on...

errrm, beg to differ, but Brennan is apolitical and was in the CIA for 20-plus years before he went into Natl Security whatever several years ago.

I am saying that we are holding them illegally & thus we should fly them to wherever they want to go.
Buckingham Palace - ANYWHERE.

Sarcasm flies right over your head doesn't it?

If you are a white flag waving surrender monkey who doesn't care about National Security - but rather National Popularity - such as Bozobambam this is an alternative plan. He should consider my idea.

[dotcom]

Brennan is a rare white boy in the Bozobambam Thug Administration - he is a weasel lying SOB for the first SOB.

[Jet Gorgon]

No matter what his personal likes/dislikes about BO, I believe that Brennan's sole focus is on the security of the country. He stays out of the poli crap and he has done a fine job for many, many years.

[dotcom]

Jet. I am lucky. I get FOX news at my condo. Watch this video & tell me what you think.
I don't care if this guy was on Dick Cheney's staff, he is now a flunky for Bozobambam & they do not understand the nature of the conflict.

John Brennan on 'FNS' - Video - FoxNews.com

Notice how he tries to avoid direct questions. He tries to explain why we closed our Embassy in Yemen & we are telling business people we can't protect them & to get out. Then he explains why the Nigerian was handed over to law enforcement instead of counter terror.

[Jet Gorgon]

^ Saw it. He was also on the other Sunday shows. Meet the Press and I think ABC.

Does the name Richard Reid ring a bell?

^ The shoe! The shoe!

News Flash - Yemen Embassy is back open. HOORAY. Barack has smitten the evildoers. Thank you your highness.

Educate yourselves. According to this guy the Climate Change Debate is over.

Oops! Even ancient WH leftie correspondent Helen Thomas is on the attack against Obama:

[sabang]

The repetitive flak bombardment from the partisan Right is all very familiar and, but if you just listen to the inane noise and leave your brain behind you miss one obvious thing-

Barack Obama is about the only 'thing' that is popular in US politics right now. His personal approval ratings are still high- compare that with the approval ratings of the GOP, the Dem's, Congress, Pelosi and so forth. He might just find it easier to get re-elected as an Independent, seeing as affiliation to any political party is a millstone.

In particular, affiliation with the GOP would seem to be a political kiss of death. Three years is a long time in politics, but currently it's hard to see any Republican being a serious Presidential contender- even Sarah Palin would defeat them, running as an Independent.

From the same wiki:

Holder was also involved in Clinton's decision to reduce the criminal sentences of 16 members of the Boricua Popular Army, an organization that has been categorized by the FBI as a terrorist organization. The clemency request was initially opposed in 1996 by U.S. Pardons Attorney Margaret Love. When Holder was elevated to Deputy Attorney General in 1997, he was asked to reexamine the issue by three members of Congress. In July 1999, Holder recommended clemency to Clinton with a report from then U.S. Pardons Attorney Roger Adams that neither supported nor opposed clemency. A month later, Clinton granted the clemency. According to The Hartford Courant, the clemency was unusual because it was opposed by the FBI, the federal prosecutor and the victims. According to the newspaper, it was also unusual because, before the commutations, the Boricua Popular Army members were not required to repudiate their actions, and they were not asked to provide any information concerning the whereabouts of Victor Manuel Gerena, a co-conspirator and one of the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, or the millions of dollars stolen by the group in a 1983 robbery of Wells Fargo in West Hartford, Connecticut.[20]




The 16 members of the FALN (the Spanish acronym for Armed Forces of National Liberation) and Los Macheteros had been convicted in Chicago and Hartford variously of bank robbery, possession of explosives and participating in a seditious conspiracy. Overall, the two groups had been linked by the FBI to more than 130 bombings, several armed robberies, six slayings and hundreds of injuries.

Eric Holder’s intercession on behalf of fugitive Marc Rich is so inexplicable that he has always viewed ignorance as his best defense. It’s as though Holder believes that a deputy attorney general looks better for having remained studiously unaware of critical facts in a criminal case before throwing his weight around. But that’s Holder’s story, and he’s sticking to it: even if it turns out not to be true.

Holder is President Obama’s choice to become attorney general. That means the Rich case is a big problem for him today—just as it was in 2001, when an outraged Congress demanded an explanation of the controversial affair. President Clinton had pardoned the fugitive financier on the recommendation of Holder, who was then deputy attorney general. The only feeble response Holder could muster was that he didn’t really know much about Rich’s case and that, as Justice’s number two official, he was simply too busy to learn about it.
