    :x
    Obama has done a good job of hiding his real biography thanks to the main stream media. Only now, nearly four years and six trillion dollars later, is it being revealed that his entire life (as we know it) was a total fabrication. Not just his birth certificate and hidden school grades, but his family and friends...all ficticious. He wrote (?) two autobiographies to align his story with the leftist agenda...pandering to their expectations of what an African-American super-hero must be like...and it was all lies. Every word of it.

    Who is this guy?

    "The McNear letter reminded me of the literary establishment's vulnerability to politically appealing fraud, a subject about which I wrote a book a few years back called Hoodwinked. Upon first reading the letter, I suspected that Maraniss had proved equally vulnerable. Did he not ask himself how a mediocre student, writing presumably from memory, could embark upon a sophisticated, spontaneous discussion of T.S. Eliot or think to put an umlaut over the "u" in Münzer?"

    This article by Jack Cashill is a "wow" for sure.

    Jimmy Carter Bashes Obama For Widespread Abuse Of Human Rights



    Report via ABC. Carter’s full New York Times‘ piece here: A Cruel and Unusual Record. He doesn’t name Obama but that’s obviously the man most responsible for current American policy. I tend to agree with Carter more on the Civil Rights aspects. He criticizes Gitmo remaining open, as well.

    Regardless of how one feels on the different aspects of Carter’s complaint, there’s still something unseemly seeing a former president exploit his position for these sweeping statements Carter is prone to make. That he was such a dismal, failed president doesn’t exactly afford him much room to talk, either. Again, via ABC, or, just read Carter’s words for yourself.


    A former U.S. president is accusing the current president of sanctioning the “widespread abuse of human rights” by authorizing drone strikes to kill suspected terrorists.

    Jimmy Carter, America’s 39 th president, denounced the Obama administration for “clearly violating” 10 of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, writing in a New York Times op-ed on Monday that the “United States is abandoning its role as the global champion of human rights.”

    “Instead of making the world safer, America’s violation of international human rights abets our enemies and alienates our friends,” Carter wrote.

    What a tool. Terrorists blow up our troops using IEDs. We blow them up using ariborne IDEs called drone missled. We fight the war under the rules that our opponents have chosen.
    Before Reagan pulled out troops out of Lebanon, this fool stood by crying about our hostages in Iran. His weakness emboldened the Russians to invade Afghanastan. His pathetic response was to boycott their olympics. Nice guys finish last and Carter in the ranking of presidents was a nice guy.

    Obama Hit 33 Fundraisers During Month Of June, More Than 8 × The Pace Of George W. Bush…
    [​IMG]
    Have you ever seen a president so good at not doing his job.

    Via WHD:


    President Obama this month participated in 33 fundraisers, a rate of just over one a day and more than eight times the number of fundraising events George W. Bush did in June 2004, the year of Bush’s reelection campaign.

    The Obama fundraising tally — courtesy of the most trusted White House statistician, CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller — suggests a president furiously grasping for cash as his campaign fails to meet its fundraising targets and suddenly finds itself outraised by Mitt Romney.

    Bush did only four fundraisers in June 2004 and by the end of the month had attended 82 since the start of his campaign in 2003, less than half the 172 Obama has done since he filed for reelection in April 2011.

    DOJ Indictment Shows ROE Forced Slain Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry To Fire Bean Bags At Drug Cartel Gunmen…
    [​IMG]
    Are we the only nation on Earth that doesn’t defend its own border?


    (Fox News) — The Justice Department unsealed an indictment Monday charging five people in connection with Border Patrol agent Brian Terry’s death — a move that drew praise as well as skepticism from lawmakers laser-focused on the case.

    The department, in unsealing the document, also announced a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to the arrest of four suspects who are still at large.

    The developments come amid an intensifying debate over the department’s failed Fast and Furious anti-gunrunning operation. Weapons from that program were found at Terry’s murder scene — Republicans seeking documents pertaining to Fast and Furious last month escalated their probe by voting to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.

    Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, praised the department Monday for its announcement but questioned the timing.

    According to the indictment, the five defendants are charged with crimes including first-degree murder, second-degree murder and assault on a federal officer. The indictment alleges that the five defendants also assaulted three other Border Patrol agents who were with Terry.

    For the first time, federal officials also revealed that Terry and the elite squad of federal agents initially fired bean bags — not bullets — at the heavily armed drug cartel crew in the mountains south of Tucson in December 2010. During the exchange, Terry was shot and killed.

    Harry Reid is now a new sexual position...
    [​IMG]


    According to the Urban Dictionary, the “Harry Reid” is “a sexual position where you climb on top and then do absolutely nothing.”

    “Santorum,” on the other hand, has a much more descriptive definition.

    The Harry Reid is “[named] for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). Under his lack of leadership, the Senate failed to pass a budget in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. He also blocked votes on numerous jobs bills passed by the House of Representatives.”

    We hear that the phrase “Harry Reid” might have even made it into the new “Anchorman” film. Stay classy, Urban Dictionary!
