We would be remiss if we did not report on the reactions of the “most transparent administration evah” to crisis after crisis…. illustrated by the brilliant Dianny of “All The Right Snark.”  Right on, Dianny, right on……

Obama’s obsession with playing golf while the world burns is pretty much a metaphor for how he governs.  He doesn’t govern.  He putts.  Nothing will get in this man’s way when he’s golf-course-bound.  Not one thing.  He doesn’t act like he’s entitled.  He’s enTitleist.
Kidnapped Nigerian Christian girls? Hamas firing rockets into Jerusalem? ISIS murdering Christians? Russians shooting down a civilian airliner?
Will anything get this idiot to put his golf clubs away and even pretend to be President?

More communities should take the approach of Murrieta California. Last night another plane loaded with illegal aliens arrived at the airport. Officials did not attempt to deliver them to the Murrieta facility.
The reason the Feds are worried, is because they cannot afford the publicity behind anyone getting hurt or worse.
The Federal agents, the Border Patrol, DHS and HHS are breaking existing immigration law. In addition the White House does NOT want to see this story being run on the national news. 75% of Americans agree with the folks in Murrieta carrying the USA flag. The Obama administration cannot risk having their unlawful policy become a dinner table debate in American households.
They’re trying to keep a lid on it.

Ultimately the optical risk to the Obama administration is the leverage to protect your community. If communities stand up against these shipments, and stand firm together – Rather than risk the political damage from exposure the Obama administration will go somewhere else.

WASHINGTON DC – The roommate of released U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl testified Wednesday about the freed soldier’s questionable mental state and demanded that Bergdahl be prosecuted as a deserter for the “ultimate betrayal” of allegedly leaving his post in Afghanistan and endangering fellow U.S. troops.

Retired Spc. Cody Full, who served with Berdgahl in the Blackfoot Company and was his roommate, declared that Bergdahl’s “desertion was premeditated” and that the released U.S. soldier “should not be characterized as serving with honor and distinction,” as Obama administration officials have maintained.

Sorry to be so cynical – – but against the backdrop of Ahmed Abu Khatallah’s arrest, and reports he is giving intel to interrogators, and knowing what White House risk is potentially present within that intelligence, it’s a little curious that half of the “Gang of Eight” would be summoned to the White House.

President Obama is notorious for ignoring congressional leadership.  As a matter of historical reference he *rarely* (twice in six years) summons them for conversation.   Consequently, amid the slow boat back from Benghazi, the transparency of this takes on a whole new meaning…

WASHINGTON DC – President Barack Obama told Capitol Hill’s “Big Four” leaders Wednesday afternoon that he doesn’t intend to seek congressional authority for any action in Iraq.

Returning to the Capitol after huddling with Obama at the White House for about an hour, both Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the president had pledged to keep Congress in the loop. But McConnell said that the president won’t ask lawmakers to weigh in on whatever course of action he chooses.
“We had a good discussion,” McConnell said, adding that Obama “indicated he didn’t feel he had any need for authority from us for steps that he might take. And indicated he would keep us posted.” (more…)

HAILEY, Idaho — In 2011, during his long five-year vigil, waiting helplessly at home while his son was held by Taliban extremists half a world away, Bob Bergdahl made a personal video for the Pakistani government that he hoped would be delivered to his boy, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.

“These are my thoughts. I can remain silent no longer,” the father began. He stood in a black shirt, his bushy blond beard worn long, the kind sported by most militant men in the war-racked region.

In the three-minute video, he mentioned several high-ranking Pakistani generals by name, thanking them for their sacrifices. Then he went on to thank the Taliban forces that were holding his son.

“Strangely to some,” he said, “we must also thank those who have cared for our son for almost two years. We know our son is a prisoner, but at the same time a guest in your home.”

Cry me a river….. The bigger story is why, after a week, they have yet to be in contact with their delicate wallflower. Well, that, and the word “former” behind the name of their “pastor”… {{nudge, nudge…. wink, wink,… say no more}}  … “Calvinists” eh?… (think about it)

‘Proctor said he was the family’s pastor in 2003 in Boise and has remained close with them ever since’.

(VIA ABC NEWS) The former pastor of the parents of a soldier released from Taliban captivity after almost five years said Friday they have been hurt by allegations that he was a traitor and by the outpouring of anger toward their family.

“They have been really hurt,” said Pastor Phil Proctor of Sterling Presbyterian Church in Sterling, Virginia. “They’re trying to keep their heads down.”

Proctor said Bob and Jani Bergdahl were surprised by interviews they have seen with former platoon mates of their son Bowe Bergdahl. Some of the soldiers told media outlets they didn’t support the exchange of five Taliban officials that led to his freedom.

“This very much hit them as a shock and I’m not sure anybody’s got the full story,” said Proctor, who is urging prayer and compassion for the family. (more…)

(VIA USA Today) An air of hubris — a sort of we-know-it-all quality — has permeated the Obama White House from the beginning. It worked as a public relations strategy for the better part of five years. But it seems to be breaking down now.

The sophisticated swagger and savoir faire projected by the President and his strategists — audacity with cool, if you will — captivated a major segment of the 2008 voting public, many of whom were tired of George W. Bush and believed Barack Obama could bring real change to Washington. (more…)

Watch the Obama interview with Brian Williams recorded yesterday:

Politico has a defense article to support this interview HERE.

However, it is important to remember both Senate Intelligence Committee Head, Democrat Dianne Feinstein, and Republican Saxby Chambliss were informed in advance of the mission to Kill/Capture Osama Bin Laden.  Without issue.

It is also important to remember the Washington Post ran a front page article in February outlining the exact details of this trade.  It wasn’t a secret.

What the heck is President Obama talking about ?

He’s repeating McDonough/Rhodes talking points that have been thoroughly debunked. One can only conclude the time lag, and geographic distance from his handlers, has interrupted his capacity to restructure and reset his position.

A rather interesting dynamic is finally being exposed on a large scale.   Here is my humble attempt to explain what’s going on.

Following the modus operandi of the Obama administration the Bergdahl issues are in full alignment with a consistent White House pattern.

It is sometimes easier to use analogies to help understand the facts behind what is taking place.  So, here goes….

Think about this administration as a travelling show projecting an appearance outward to an audience.   The stage they construct is filled with visual aides for their performance.  The audience is two-fold and hence the strange appearances, and hypocrisies.

Screenplay discussions:  (L to R) Denis McDonough, POTUS, Tony Blinkin, Ben Rhodes

The primary audience is the American electorate.  Think of us as the larger audience seated in front of the stage and watching the presentation, the show.

Behind the stage is a smaller audience, who cannot actually see the show taking place, but they are given a play-by-play explanation of what’s taking place on the other side of the curtain.   That smaller audience is Congress.

Here’s where it gets interesting. (more…)

Fitting Day To listen to this Band of Brothers…
