There is a particular poignancy with Lara Logan doing this story after all she went through in Egypt. Her report essentially vindicates all that Fox News has previously outlined. How will a spiteful White House respond?
The shocker here is not that President Obama is thin skinned without teleprompter aid and healthcare talking points…. The shocker is he actually went to a church again. His golf round vs. church attendance ratio is about 50 to 1.

WASHINGTON DC – President Obama was not in the mood to field questions about ObamaCare during his walk to church on Sunday.
“C’mon guys. I’m going to church,” Obama reportedly said when asked if the law’s troubled enrollment website would be ready by Nov. 30.
The exchange comes after a tough week for the White House on ObamaCare. (more…)
Fitting this comes out today – considering we posted this earlier.
(Via WeaselZippers) Apparently the NSA has been bugging the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, since 2002. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, President Barack Obama told Merkel on Saturday that he would have stopped the bugging had he known about it.

However, Bild is reporting that not only did Obama know about the bugging, but that he himself personally ok’d it in 2010, and stepped up surveillance on Merkel, calling for a “comprehensive dossier” on her. According to Bild: (continue reading)
Once you get in the car, you can’t get off ’til the ride’s over…
You have probably seen multiple written accounts, stories and publish articles, recently about a growing international backlash. This stems from revelations that under the specific direction of President Obama the NSA (National Security Agency) has been spying upon a growing contingent of international leaders.
Our allies are furious with the NSA for spying on them and their respective leaders. Consequently U.S. credibility and trust has been deconstructed.
Indeed, by recent count the list of Allied Western nations rising in open opposition to President Obama, and his administration, stands around 35. That’s THIRTY FIVE.
It is against that bold and visible backdrop we wish to draw back your attention.
In July of 2012, during his Term-two presidential bid, President Obama gave a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Reno, Nevada. His speech was specifically constructed to outline his accomplishments:
“Because we’re leading around the world, people have a new attitude toward America.” “There’s more confidence in our leadership. We see it everywhere we go.”

At the time many of us just about fell out of our seats. With quick dispatch, and working purely from immediate memory, we outlined the following:
[2012] There are many administration claims that I shake my head when I hear, but this one is perhaps the worst. It is a complete and utter fallacy to proclaim President Obama’s foreign policy has been even remotely successful. This is just freestyle off the top of my head, but consider: (more…)
The one constant in an ever changing universe is how progressives are committed to the whole “I’m friends with my children” schtick. This generic communal immaturity creates profound liberal hypocrisies. Cue – Maryland AG, Doug Gansler, who was photographed at his son’s party in Bethany Beach Delaware taking merry pictures of teenagers engaged in binge drinking, and having a grand ol’ time.

Gansler’s first auto-erotic response was to claim he had no moral authority to do anything about the underage drinking….. D’oh…. But then the political “betters” got a hold of him and shaped his messaging to be, well, more gubernatorial. He now has “regrets“….

…. and when the bough breaks…
CBS’s front man, Scott Pelley, was visibly distraught and filled with tremendous anxiety as he seemed forced to report on the reality – Millions of Americans are losing their healthcare insurance coverage.
The U.S. individual health insurance market currently totals about 19 million people. Because the Obama administration’s regulations on grandfathering existing plans were so stringent about 85% of those, 16 million, are not grandfathered and must comply with Obamacare at their next renewal.
The rules are very complex. For example, if you had an individual plan in March of 2010 when the law was passed and you only increased the deductible from $1,000 to $1,500 in the years since, your plan has lost its grandfather status and it will no longer be available to you when it would have renewed in 2014.
These 16 million people are now receiving letters from their carriers saying they are losing their current coverage and must re-enroll in order to avoid a break in coverage and comply with the new health law’s benefit mandates––the vast majority by January 1. Most of these will be seeing some pretty big rate increases. (link)

(Via CNS News) Americans who were recipients of means-tested government benefits in 2011 outnumbered year-round full-time workers, according to data released this month by the Census Bureau. The recipients also out-numbered the total population of the Philippines.
There were 108,592,000 people in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2011 who were recipients of one or more means-tested government benefit programs, the Census Bureau said in data released this week. Meanwhile, according to the Census Bureau, there were 101,716,000 people who worked full-time year round in 2011. That included both private-sector and government workers.
That means there were about 1.07 people getting some form of means-tested government benefit for every 1 person working full-time year round. (read more)
Earlier this week conservative radio host Sean Hannity called the Obamacare hotline and spoke to an operator. The operator, Earline Davis, was honest and told Hannity nobody liked the website. The next day she was fired. He interviewed her for his TV show, and is “gifting” her a years’ salary and more:
I’ve been searching and waiting all day for CNN to post video and transcript of this exchange between Erin Burnett and Congressman Henry Waxman from last night 10/23/13.
Why?
Because Waxman accidentally outlined the TRUTH. When he was questioned by Burnett about President Obama’s promise that everyone will be able to keep their health insurance, against the backdrop of hundreds of thousands of cancellations for private insurance being received, the question was: “Is/Was the President being honest?
