President Obama is ridiculously shrinking himself in front of an entire nation.  Do you think this is serendipity, or strategy?   Yeah, me too....

U.S. special forces raids, one successful – one not. 

Nazih Abdul-Hamed Nabih al-Ruqai’I (Anas al-Libi for short)  has been on the “kill or capture” list for 15 years.   He was a middle level al-Qaeda guy in the 90’s and thought to have been behind the cell that carried out the Kenya and Tanzania embassy bombings in 1998.
Both CNN and NBC are reporting he was captured in Libya (Tripoli maybe?)  […]

Al Libi has been a member of al Qaeda since at least 1994 and was a confidante of Osama bin Laden.  He also is a computer expert for the group and is believed to be one of the masterminds of the 1998 U.S. Embassy attacks in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed 12 Americans and more than 220 Kenyans. He has been indicted in New York in connection with the attacks and could ultimately be brought to the U.S. to stand trial.

The unsuccessful raid was in Somalia […]  (more…)

A few days BigFurHat @iOTW predicted the following:

Many laughed thinking it was silly.    Well, it has indeed come to pass (more…)

Commodore Snoogie Woogums predicted this:

[…] Park spokeswoman Maureen Hugatree stated that the orders to fill in the canyon with fog had come straight from the White House. “They told me that they had deemed the fog machine operators to be essential emergency personnel with previous experience of clouding issues to the public,” she explained… (peoples cube)

Now it has come to pass…. (more…)

Yesterday President Stompy Feet posed for his latest national portrait.   Today the park service admits they were told to inflict the maximum public pain during the government shutdown.  Also today, the Border Patrol reveals they have been told to “Stand Down” and ignore border crossings.
All of this why?
Because the actual truth is people are awakening to the reality that most of the federal government is *non essential*; and, quite frankly, we can just do without them.  THAT is the real risk to sellers of BIG government.   It’s the same visible reality that stemmed from the ‘sequester cuts’ which, despite all the protestations to the contrary, really don’t have impact.   That’s the real issue. (more…)

Still Dancing….

And so we enter Day #4 of the federal shutdown with the media still gnashing it’s horrible teeth determined to frame the horrid Republican Anarchists, Terrorists, jihadists.   But the electorate continue to defy the media demands.

CBS Polling shows when the government shut down back in November 1995, 51 percent of Americans blamed the Republicans in Congress, while 28 blamed President Bill Clinton.
And what are those numbers today? 44% blame GOP, 35% blame Obama, and 17% blame both.  Imagine what the polling would be if the media reporting was neutral.
But the media was able to find an OFA organizer who signed up for Obamacare.  Only there was one little issue they didn’t share.  His premium TRIPLED. (more…)

Yesterday we shared how POTUS was angry, and gave examples of his “stompy feet” mentality.   However, it’s gotten worse…. much worse.

President Obama gave an interview to CNBC (financial news) you must watch this video and recognize what he’s doing here.   He is intentionally talking down the stock market and the financial sector:

There are efforts to *hide* this video – so if you can’t play it on site GO HERE
We are traditionally programed to believe our President acts, and speaks, in the best interests of our nation.   Therefore it is jaw dropping to actually bear witness to a sitting U.S. President intentionally drumming up FEAR and ANXIETY. (more…)

Comment Via Michellc – I’ve been witnessing my neighbors and fellow citizens having their worlds turned upside down due to Obama regulations and policies; and I haven’t heard much sympathy coming from him or Washington, but now federal employees are losing a few weeks pay and the violins come pouring out.

Ya know, I don’t think there is a more apropos reflection of this President is tarnishing the office he holds.

President Stompy Feet told Democrats to kill veterans funding, keep World War 2 Memorial closed so he doesn't lose face.
Angry yet?

As President Barack Obama’s signature Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act enters the all-important sign-up phase next week, the president finds himself with some of the lowest approval ratings of his presidency even as Republicans in an unpopular Congress maneuver to block the health-care legislation from taking effect.
A Reuters-Ipsos poll of 1,729 Americans taken Sept. 20-24 found only 39 percent of those surveyed approve of the job Obama is doing as president, while 55 percent disapprove.

The Reuters-Ipsos poll found that 22 percent of those responding thought the country was headed in the right direction, while 64 percent thought it was on the wrong track. (link)
