When someone can encapsulate the insufferable stupidity of a political presentation, and simultaneously eviscerate political parseltongue it deserves to be watched.

Michael Weiss watched President Obama’s oval office speech and then in two and a half minutes thoroughly obliterates it.  This is not just deconstructing a position – this is epic obliteration of a opponent’s argument. This is simply must see TV:

Is President Obama Trying to get ahead of the predicted San Bernadino Christmas Go-Pro Massacre video?

President Obama will deliver a rare White House national speech tomorrow night at 8:00pm addressing the latest terrorist threats and trying to reconnect with the Americans.

After weeks of disconnect around the ongoing threats of ISIS and terrorism, and with plummeting polling numbers showing an increasing number of Americans distrust President Obama’s competency to fulfill the role of Commander in Chief, the White House begins damage control.

Here’s an odd riddle, I couldn’t answer – perhaps you can.  Some might find worthy of discussion.

What exactly was the purpose behind all of those inquiries into President Obama’s Birth Certificate?  Was it, as many have presented and thousands have bantered back and forth, to finally find out if President Obama was born in Kenya instead of Hawaii.

Was that the goal?

If that was the goal, and if it was discovered that President Obama was born in Kenya to a Kenyan father and American mother (Ann Dunham), as best we can determine from the thousands of opinions on the matter, and according to those most heavily invested in this expedition, President Obama would have been ineligible for Presidential office.

So, according to those who understand these issues, if the birth certificate showed Obama born outside of the U.S. he would have been ineligible. (more…)

There are numerous pundits and political followers who are quite upset about President Obama’s news conference in Turkey where he stated his ISIS strategy “is working”.

An example of the punditry proclamations can be encapsulated within this commentary of CNN contributors as outlined by NewsBusters:

On Monday, CNN’s Christiane Amanpour and two of her network’s analysts blasted President Obama moments after he ended a press conference where he defended his anti-ISIS strategy. Amanpour underlined that Obama “something that was pretty incredible…that our strategy is working. People do not believe that to be the case. The only strategy that’s working is the strategy that he tends to dismiss — and that’s the ground troop strategy.

Sinjar, Tikrit, Kobani — those are the only ISIS strongholds that have been taken back by a combination of American intelligence and air power, and local ground forces.” (video at link)

Indeed, if you were to google search the various media reports about President Obama’s delivered position almost all of them reflect a similar sentiment.  Media scratching their heads and twisting into pretzel contortions wondering why Obama continues to proclaim his ISIS strategy is a success.

BREAKING: The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Rules 2-1 to uphold Judge Hanen Injunction (full ruling pdf below)

In a 2-1 ruling of the Fifth CCA (Judge King has lengthy Dissent) the injunction against President Obama’s Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program (“DAPA”) has been upheld.

The DAPA is commonly referred to as Obama’s Executive Amnesty – Obama Loses.

Twenty Six states filed suit to block the November ’14 Executive Order. A Texas Judge, Andrew Hanen, issued an injunction blocking implementation.  Obama appealed the injunction and lost; then appealed again based on standing – and just lost again.  Here’s the ruling:

However, the release of the 5th Circuit decision today may allow the Supreme Court time to take up the dispute in Obama’s term, if a third appeal is attempted.  A favorable Supreme Court ruling could then override the injunction and permit Obama to implement the executive actions next summer.

The problem for the White House is the substantive legal issues within the original Hanen ruling have not been argued in Hanen’s court or the/any appellate court.  They have only argued the ability of Hanen to block them (ie “standing), not the merits of the underlying case.

Therefore the route to SCOTUS would only be on the legal issues of Hanen’s injunction – and not on the legal issues of the Executive Order itself. It’s doubtful SCOTUS would take up such a case.

… then quizzically poses the question, ‘gee, I wonder why’; to wit Don Mattingly in drag, aka Rachel Maddow, opines about structural advantages created by those pesky and brilliantly strategic republicans.

Yes, this is what they tell themselves – it’s never palatable to conceive the electorate are just sick and tired of Moonbat policies that always fail yet continue to return like the Phoenix from the ashes of retread socialism only to be tried yet again…

WASHINGTON DC – One of the largest unions of construction workers slammed President Obama for his decision to reject the Keystone XL pipeline Friday, accusing the president of showing “utter disdain” for the American worker.

Terry O’Sullivan, general president of the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA), accused Obama of bending to special interest groups by choosing to decline TransCanada’s proposal to build the pipeline in pursuit of his climate change agenda.

“President Obama today demonstrated that he cares more about kowtowing to green-collar elitists than he does about creating desperately needed, family-supporting, blue-collar jobs,” O’Sullivan said in a statement Friday. (more…)

I did not see the CBS 60 Minutes interview with President Obama; so I set about going to look for it.  Before going to CBS’s website I stopped by U-Tube to see if there was an encapsulated segment.

Fortuitously I discovered this presentation.  While it is not the entire interview, it is well worth the watch for greater foxhole-morale value.  Not only is the commentary quite funny, it also provides further evidence that there are many people who understand the situation and feel the same way.  (Salty Language Alert)
