It's about time the media opened their eyes!

If not us...who? If not now...when?      Ronald Reagan  This is from the Wall Street Journal which makes it even more interesting. They were once in his camp! Wall Street Journal Sizes up Obama A "deadly" article regarding Obama, at the Wall Street Journal, which today is the most widely circulated newspaper in America .. Article from the Wall Street Journal  -  by Eddie Sessions: "I have this theory about Barack Obama. I think he's led a kind of make-believe life in which money was provided and doors were opened because at some point early on somebody or some group took a look at this tall, good looking, half-white, half-black, young man with an exotic African/Muslim name and concluded he could be guided toward a life in politics where his facile speaking skills could even put him in the White House.  In a very real way, he has been a young man in a very big hurry. Who else do you know has written two memoirs before the age of 45? "Dreams of My Father" was published in 1995 when he was only 34 years old. The "Audacity of Hope" followed in 2006. If, indeed, he did write them himself. There are some who think that his mentor and friend, Bill Ayers, a man who calls himself a "communist with a small 'c'" was the real author.     His political skills consisted of rarely voting on anything that might be deemed controversial. He went from a legislator in the Illinois legislature to the Senator from that state because he had the good fortune of having Mayor Daley's formidable political machine at his disposal.     He was in the U.S. Senate so briefly that his bid for the presidency was either an act of astonishing self-confidence or part of some greater game plan that had been determined before he first stepped foot in the Capital. How, many must wonder, was he selected to be a 2004 keynote speaker at the Democrat convention that nominated John Kerry when virtually no one had ever even heard of him before?     He outmaneuvered Hillary Clinton in primaries. He took Iowa by storm. A charming young man, an anomaly in the state with a very small black population, he oozed "cool" in a place where agriculture was the antithesis of cool. He dazzled the locals. And he had an army of volunteers drawn to a charisma that hid any real substance.   And then he had the great good fortune of having the Republicans select one of the most inept candidates for the presidency since Bob Dole. And then John McCain did something crazy. He picked Sarah Palin, an unknown female governor from the very distant state of Alaska . It was a ticket that was reminiscent of 1984's Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro and they went down to defeat. The mainstream political media fell in love with him. It was a schoolgirl crush with febrile commentators like Chris Mathews swooning then and now over the man. The venom directed against McCain and, in particular, Palin, was extraordinary.  Now, nearly a full 2 years into his first term, all of those gilded years leading up to the White House have left him unprepared to be President. Left to his own instincts, he has a talent for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. It swiftly became a joke that he could not deliver even the briefest of statements without the ever-present Tele-Prompters.  Far worse, however, is his capacity to want to "wish away" some terrible realities, not the least of which is the Islamist intention to destroy America and enslave the West. Any student of history knows how swiftly Islam initially spread. It knocked on the doors of Europe, having gained a foothold in Spain . The great crowds that greeted him at home or on his campaign "world tour" were no substitute for having even the slightest grasp of history and the reality of a world filled with really bad people with really bad intentions.    Oddly and perhaps even inevitably, his political experience, a cakewalk, has positioned him to destroy the Democrat Party's hold on power in Congress because in the end it was never about the Party. It was always about his communist ideology, learned at an early age from family, mentors, college professors, and extreme leftist friends and colleagues.     Obama is a man who could deliver a snap judgment about a Boston police officer who arrested an "obstreperous" Harvard professor-friend, but would warn Americans against "jumping to conclusions" about a mass murderer at Fort Hood who shouted "Allahu Akbar." The absurdity of that was lost on no one. He has since compounded this by calling the Christmas bomber "an isolated extremist" only to have to admit a day or two later that he was part of an al Qaeda plot.  He is a man who could strive to close down our detention facility at Guantanamo even though those released were known to have returned to the battlefield against America . He could even instruct his Attorney General to afford the perpetrator of 9/11 a civil trial when no one else would ever even consider such an obscenity. And he is a man who could wait three days before having anything to say about the perpetrator of yet another terrorist attack on Americans and then have to elaborate on his remarks the following day because his first statement was so lame.  The pattern repeats itself. He either blames any problem on the Bush administration or he naively seeks to wish away the truth.     Knock, knock. Anyone home? Anyone there? Barack Obama exists only as the sock puppet of his handlers, of the people who have maneuvered and manufactured this pathetic individual's life.      When anyone else would quickly and easily produce a birth certificate, this man has spent over a million dollars to deny access to his. Most other documents, the paper trail we all leave in our wake, have been sequestered from review. He has lived a make-believe life whose true facts remain hidden.         We laugh at the ventriloquist's dummy, but what do you do when the dummy is President of the United States of America ?"

A Nuclear Chavez Gets Obama's OK

After all the fuss about Iran development nuclear capabilities, Venezuela gets a pass. Obama's OK With Chavez  Having  Nuclear Reactors   Geopolitics: Venezuela's Hugo Chavez moves ahead with plans to go nuclear with Russian help, and the response from our president has been to give the lunatic dictator his full backing. This is trouble. Not since the days of Jimmy Carter have we seen as craven a U.S. response to a provocation as Chavez's plan for two 1,200-megawatt nuclear reactors 1,400 miles from our shores. "We have no incentive or interest in increasing friction between Venezuela and the U.S., but we do think Venezuela needs to act responsibly," President Obama told the Spanish-language press Tuesday. "Our attitude is that Venezuela has rights to peacefully develop nuclear power." Oh. So forget the Monroe Doctrine. Never mind President Kennedy's response to the nuclear ambitions of Cuba. Obama's new message to the hemisphere is that Chavez can go nuclear because he's a democracy and will therefore act responsibly. Obama's message was probably intended to deprive the dictator of his capacity to whip up nationalist sentiment in the wake of a U.S. rebuke. But, ultimately, it represents a U.S. failure to deal with the kind of threat Chavez actually poses. In itself, Chavez's plan to construct reactors is little immediate threat to the U.S., its ally Colombia or Brazil. But the treaty with Russia was signed in 2009 and is meant to take 10 years to complete. In that time, Chavez will have to develop nuclear experts and find a way to finance all these reactors. Given he already owes Russia $4.4 billion for weapons purchases, the sale of Venezuela's oil facilities in Europe to Russia won't be enough. The real problem is the relationships Chavez is forging. Chavez's visit to Russia and Iran to tout the nuclear deal was meant to show the U.S. that even after he lost a legislative election in September, he still mattered. And rogue states like Russia and Iran will still do dirty business with him — even if China won't. Chavez says he means to bring in Russian and Iranian experts for his nuclear project. That opens the door to influence from the mafiya-linked criminal underworld that includes the terrorists and arms dealers at the edges of Russia's and Iran's power structures. Chavez's closest Russian associate is Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin, a raving anti-American with rumored ties to illegal arms dealer Viktor Bout. The latter was arrested in Thailand soon after the discovery in 2008 of a computer belonging to FARC terrorists. People like this are more than willing to get the materials for dirty bombs and provide support for terrorists — something Chavez has already been implicated in himself without consequences the past few years. He's been caught attempting to deliver $300 million to FARC terrorists, and FARC itself has been caught trying to secure nuclear materials for a dirty bomb in Ukraine and Romania. Meanwhile, the Russian mafiya and Iran's Hezbollah have been making inroads in Latin America as well, and will now find even more of a welcome mat in Venezuela with this nuclear project. For the Obama administration to dismiss the Chavez nuclear deal is shortsighted, given the interconnected nature of the threat from these rogue states and what Venezuela will become as a result. Obama should be muscling Russia to drop the plan and threatening to make Georgia a NATO member if he doesn't. Instead, right now, the approach is to make nice with a predator who has it in for us in more ways than one.It may buy us peace now, but it will buy only trouble in the long run. The Staff: Obama will do nothing to protect us from anything as I believe it is his intention to destroy America as we know it.Lets hope I am wrong
