Obama is trotting out known liar Susan Rice to argue for Syrian intervention on the one-year anniversary of Benghazi
In an astonishing display of either ignorance or brazenness, the White House will mark the first anniversary of the Benghazi terrorist attack this Wednesday by sending National Security Adviser Susan Rice to Capitol Hill to argue the administration’s case for military force in Syria. Rice infamously delivered false talking points on national television, blaming the Benghazi attacks on a spontaneous demonstration against an anti-Islam YouTube video. Sending Rice to Congress to brief members on Syria is like sending Typhoid Mary to lecture on public health. Her credibility is, to use a diplomatic term, limited.
John Fund details other facepalm worthy “gaffes” in regards to the White House’s utter lack of out-reach, even to sympathetic GOP members.
However, they are only “gaffes” is one takes at face-value that Obama wants Congress’ approval at all, rather than another move by The Won, along with his media sycophants, in the continuing campaign to tear down the legislative branch.
Feature, people, not bug.

Four Years Ago Today, Barack Obama Offered America a Pile of Empty Promises
Yes – Close To The Edge
The fundamental, and very first mistake that the political establishment
made with respect to Charter 77 – its refusal to hold a
dialogue about the duty to respect the Constitution – had immediate
repercussions. This error could not help but lead to further
error, and falsehood to breed still more falsehood until, in the end,
the established power bloc was bringing down a torrent of misfortune
on its own head and endlessly making a fool of itself. In the
media the Charter was described as a project conceived by ‘turncoats
and double-dealers’, and elsewhere as ‘has-beens’. The miserable
bungling oaf who thought those expressions up deserved a good
kick in the pants from his political masters. The Chartists were
indeed ‘has-beens’ in the sense that they lacked any sort of political
power. But the same can be said of 90 per cent of the Czechoslovak
population. What else is a double-dealing turncoat but someone
who hands his country over to a foreign power for personal gain,
like those who collaborated with the Germans, for example? It is
fairly obvious that it is quite inappropriate to call traitors those
who demand strict observance of the constitution. This allegation is
in fact a boomerang which rebounds on those it suits best: those who
ordered the notorious media articles in the first place.

Wonder just what we gave away at G-20 for this little act to be played out?
Got to be a hefty price to save his face.
Got to be a hefty price to save his face.
– Whatever he gave Putin and Assad part of the deal would be no telling about it.
They were playing chess. He was playing “ants in the pants” by Milton Bradley.
I’m assuming the consummation of the deal ended with Putin and Assad zipping up.
Kickstart WWIII, because Obama.
A shame, how Putin (and the rest of the world) views Barky…
That sucker was funny Slart, even right down to the “Paid for by Koch Industries” gag. Because Disaster.
Yeah, the Kickstart thing is pretty funny. And also the first genuine jab at Obama I’ve seen from a non-conservative outfit.
Also, I’m sure that Russia will make sure that the chemical weapons are safe and sound and never are used against anyone ever.
Maybe they’ll truck them back to Iraq.
Might have to do a little “quality testing” in Chechnya first.
it is clear that Putin is a better politician than Obama, it is really annoying that so is Ahmadinejad and Assad.
Maybe I’m just imagining things, but it sure looks like Putin bent Obama over and hollered “Who’s your daddy?”
It is clear that Putin is a better politician than Obama,
Putin knows that appeasement is for suckers and that the Muslims do what they do for the same reasons he does, not because they’re being provoked by Western Hegemony.
And therefore he’s not burdened by White Guilt or Edward Said’s Orientalism, among other delusions.
OT: I frelling HATE looking for work. Seriously. Just give me a job that pays decently and let me stay in it forever.
I know that’s too much to ask for in Obama’s New Economy.
You and me both, cranky. I’m soon to become the great “missing” from the employment rolls. Over qualified for some things, not enough experience in others.
Obamacare and the economy have decided I need it good and hard from both the business and the private sector.
“Ahmadinejad”
He’s in the WAS a better politician category now. The Ayatolla’s replaced him with a new “election” during which they threatened to have him flogged for interfering with democracy at one point.
Russia is dancing around the leaden footed O!
I wonder if they will be re-writing the speech, on the fly, as it is fed to the teleprompter tonight.
The One got seriously pwn3d by Putin.
That speech tonight? Gaffe-tastic!
And with tomorrow being 9/11/13 Al Qaeda may just force another re-write then. Expiration dates just ain’t as far out as they used to be.
If you know PHP or Linux kernels, I know where you can play.
I don’t know either one, di. I know Windows forms programming, and am looking to expand into all the Windows web stuff as well as general web stuff because that is what the people want.
I just had a bad interview a few hours ago and it still stings.
There was a game we used to play about Hollywood casting that would go like: “You want Robert Redford, you’ll settle for Nick Nolte, you get Gary Buse”
I want Ronald Reagan, I would settle for Bill Clinton, I’ve got Barack Obama.
@iowahawk “By getting his head stuck in the bowling ball return, Obama brilliantly tricked Putin into pantsing him. #HeMeantToDoThat”
Few things are more humiliating than job searches.
I hates them, too.
Uh oh. I just got some text-enhance type stuff popping up. Now I have to wipe my cache, looks for weird extensions and probly get rid of my shockwave plugin. Sometimes I really hate you internet.
I don’t code. I barely learned DOS.
*sigh* I’m obsolete.
Interestingly, with computer code there is no room for interpretation vs. intent. Interpretation is fixed per the device and if it malfunctions the intent is always the source of error provided the device is actually working within spec.
Are you saying that Derrida has nothing to offer us on computer programming? Or any objective reality for that matter?
I’ve only seen code that ran wrong (i.e. did not work as it should have) a few times. Once was related to how a particular machine/OS combo handled a pointer. The code was wrong but worked because of an OS bug, so I gave the student full credit, because I got tired of arguing with the little lawyers.
Another was related to some code movement brought on by an optimizing compiler. In that case, it was the compiler’s fault, not the machine’s.
I remember putting together a simple vb script to query a database many years ago and going crazy because it wouldn’t work.
Turned out the problem was a couple of operators I was using. Supposedly, both operators meant and did the same thing, but the script wouldn’t work until I used the same syntax throughout the script. (going from memory, it’s been a decade since I worked on that little project)
On another note, I hate Adobe Flash Player. Freaking updates are coming out faster than I can get them installed across my domain. It’s the only software I’ve ever run across that has it’s own custom uninstaller. I suppose I should be grateful there is an uninstaller, otherwise I’d have trouble updating Flash on all of the computers in a timely fashion
cranky, the local paper has this.
mark levin- “i’ll be on glenn beck’s show next week”
Seriously, Levin will be on Beck’s show?
yes that’s what he said about 6:40 edt
>By the way, Obama’s speech tonight will be “unbelievably small,” just 15 minutes long….
Obama has decided on a “limited, targeted” speech which will be like his planned war, brief, pointless, and slightly less consequential than America’s Got Talent.<

Well, that was certainly a bracing speech from our president. I know I’m convinced!
I’m not sure what I’m convinced of, though.
Well, that we need not be hasty. Or something.

No, he said that he had been campaigning in 57 states and still had two more to go, and one that sadly he wouldn’t get to for a total of 60 states.
So will Giron “lowride” her way out of being recalled? Use the Hispanics to beat a guy named Rivera? a guy with this for his life story?
Can’t get more Hispanic than that can you? Wake up [R]s. There is no ethnic solidarity, it is all based on support for the left and the agenda of the left.
