ONCE AGAIN, THE HYPOCRICY OF THE OBAMA DEMOCRATS IS PROFOUNDLY EXPOSED.

Breitbart News and the AP:  President Barack Obama was reelected in 2012, a Saudi tycoon and his business associate sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to the U.S. to help pay for the inaugural celebration and get a picture with the president, according to court documents and an analysis of campaign finance records by The Associated Press.

U.S. election law prohibits foreign nationals from making those sorts of political contributions. But the donations Sheikh Mohammed Al Rahbani tried to send to Obama’s inaugural committee were funneled through a seasoned straw donor, the records and the AP analysis show.

Did you know that Google representatives met with the Obama WH every morning of his administration?

A video [found here]ecorded by Google shortly after the 2016 presidential election reveals an atmosphere of panic and dismay amongst the tech giant’s leadership, coupled with a determination to thwart both the Trump agenda and the broader populist movement emerging around the globe.

The video is a full recording of Google’s first all-hands meeting following the 2016 election (these weekly meetings are known inside the company as “TGIF” or “Thank God It’s Friday” meetings). Sent to Breitbart News by an anonymous source, it features co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, VPs Kent Walker and Eileen Naughton, CFO Ruth Porat, and CEO Sundar Pichai. It can be watched in full above. It can and should be watched in full above in order to get the full context of the meeting and the statements made.
It was reported earlier this week that Google tried to boost turnout among the Latino population to help Hillary Clinton, only to be dismayed as the usually solid Democratic voting bloc switched to the GOP in record numbers.

Editor:  29% of voting Hispanics,  turned out to vote for our President in 2016.

If a "fiscal year" is four consecutive quartes, Trump's economy is already at a 3.1 GDP rate and climbing.

Daily Wire:    The U.S. economy exploded in the second quarter of 2018, with the gross domestic product (GDP) climbing 4.1% — nearly doubling the first quarter, which was revised up to 2.2%.
The booming rate is the highest since the third quarter of 2014 and just the third-highest since the Great Recession began in 2008. The running four-quarter average is 3.1%, considered by economists to be a very strong number.

In Q2 of 2018, consumer spending grew 4%, while nonresidential business investment jumped 7.3%, both also considered strong numbers.

Editor:   The "running  four-quarter average" is the average for the most recent four quarters report, and,  a 3.1 average may be the highest average in a decade or more.   In other words,  Trump's pledge for a 3 to 4 percent GDP has already happened on the lower end (3%).  All Obama had to do in his last two years,  was to lower business taxes and reduce the regulator standards,  but this economy would have been his economy.  Period.  But he refused to give Big Business that consideration,  and "1.8% GDP" became his legacy for the entire 8 years of his administration.  

Update:  Correction:  4 of the past 5 quarters have average 3.3% or better. 

Barack was a "know it all" who only knew the wrong facts.  He was an ideologue who was wedded to a Nirvana dream that will never be a reality in this world  . . . .   not for free men who often do bad things.    He was a socialist dreamer,  with good intentions for the world but of a poor review for the United States of America.  He and other activist black or radical progressives,  blame our national capitalist foundations for much of the trouble in this world and all of our socalled "domestic plight."    He was wrong on all counts.  

Historically speaking,  he was an angry black activist whose time in office as relates to accomplishments benefiting "the people" is being erased (did it ever exist?) by a vulgar capitalist businessman who understands this evil world and is willing to work within its wicked perimeters.  "Extend a hand,  not a fist," (Barack Obama)  will never work in world full of evil men who do not share that same commitment. "Truth to power" is the only diplomatic policy that actually works,  and men like Trump are proving that to be the reality. 

Barack from Kenya? What is he talking about?

So people started asking.  And when they did,  it only took him six freaking years to
come up with a Hawaiian birth certificate.

Obama, most anti-Christian president in our history and, yet, his arrigant pretence

Obama,  most anti-Christian president in our history and,  yet, his arrogant pretense is almost "other world."  One of the most dangerous presidents in our history,  and  at its root,  is his willingness to say whatever comes to his mind as he advances his personal agenda on the world  . . . .   and I mean to emphasize every one of those last 7 words.  

None of us know where he going next,  no one in his party,  no one in Congress,  no one in his circle of friends with the possible exception of the Iranian born Valarie Jarrett.  (if you think Obama is "Christian,"  maybe you should read the following,  an account of his requisite, pre-speech,  requirements at Georgetown (2009),  proof of his feckless "servitude" to Christ:   http://cnsnews.com/news/article/georgetown-says-it-covered-over-name-jesus-comply-white-house-request-0  )

Obama compares himself to Nixon in China and Reagan in Russia.

Obama apparently believes that he can frame the historians' version of his presidency.  I mean,  We are all crying over his foreign policy,   but he declares that policy to be on par with Nixon's and Reagan's. and,  that declaration makes it so   . . . .    at least,  in his own mind.  

Question:   Did Nixon's policies with China lead to an increased arms race?  Or, did Reagan's policies lead to an increased arms race with Russia?  

And Obama with his Mid East "policy?  News flash:  the Saudis are already dealing to buy themselves into a nuclear state,  making nuclear deals with Pakistan.  That is already happening,  and by the time of the 2016 elections,  this will be both a well known fact AND a major campaign issue.  

Me?  I hope this clown keeps making decisions and driving the country to a place that no one supports.  So far,  Obama has more unpopular decisions to his credit than any president in modern day history.  Sadly,  "popular opinion" as to his specific policies are universally against those policies including this most recent decision to elevate a 5th rate terror state to a position equal to that of the United States    . . . . . . .    and as long as we have a know-nothing community organizer as "president,"  our decline as a nation will be his legacy.  

Never forget that he does not have the mental ability to write a budget proposal (5 submissions failed 0-99 and 0-97 in the Senate, 0-414 and 2-416 in the House and a 5th proposal was reject by the Congressional Budget office),  pass legislation  without lying his backside off,  or live up to most of the 300 promises he made,  in 2008.  

Clearly,  Sarah Palin runs this moron out of town when it comes to presidential/intellectual concerns,  keeping promises,  and building on the grand fact of American exceptionalism.  

Obama the new Reagan? The numbers tell you all you need to know.

Here is all you need to know as you compare Obama's self-serving declarations of greatest versus a comparison of the two men's re-elections. 

In 1984,  Ronald Reagan won re-election with  58% of the vote and 49 of the 50 states.  He picked up 11 million votes compared to his first election.  He cared about all the people,  and worked well with both sides of the political aisle. 

Obama ran for re-election in 2012.  He won,  of course,  but lost 3.5 million votes compared to his 2008 total,  indicating a startling loss of loss of popularity.  He won only 26 states with a 51% margin of victory.  

No matter how you look at the totals,  Obama fails miserably in a comparison to the Great One.  

This would not be a reason to post,  except for the fact that Obama, in his childish desire to self-promote,  wants history to remember him as greater than Reagan.    I am glad to help in making such comparisons. 

A word on Obama's allegiance to Christianity and its Indwelling: Not.

Speaking to a couple of reporters,  Pastor Jerry Stephenson,  a Democrat supporting Rand Paul,   got on the subject of the religious freedom debate and — after a bit of prodding from a radio interviewer — began musing about why he believed President Obama wasn’t backing up conservative Christians.

“In five years we’ll find out what [Obama’s] real religion is,” Stephenson said.

Asked to explain what he meant, he said, “I think the evidence of his actions are not friendly toward Christians. Once he’s out, he will ‘evolve’ like he did on gay marriage. I just believe that’s what he will do.”

Understand that Stephenson is probably right.  Certainly,  Obama is not a Christian in terms of allegiance to Christ,  or he would not have ordered the name "Jesus" (written in Latin,  above the stage at Georgetown, 2009) covered over before he gave a commencement speech, there.  

Its called "racialization" when a radical black politician or revolutionary,  speaks in white man terms to advance his own political power and/agenda.

Obama doesn't love the country created by the Founders and more and folks see the problem.

Darren Samuelsohn / Politico:
Rudy Giuliani: President Obama doesn't love America  —  The former New York mayor makes his remarks at a Scott Walker event.  —  NEW YORK - Rudy Giuliani went straight for the jugular Wednesday night during a private group dinner here featuring Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker …
Editor's notes:  look at the size of this discussion.  All of those named,  carried this story on air or in their publications.  Few stories have this kind of interest.   

Update:  Rudy was given the opportunity for a retraction.  Instead,  he said,  "I just want to say it again."  
 Look,  when Obama went on his apology touring,  when he denied that the US was no more gifted than any other country,  when he is the first President to deny our Christian roots,  when he thinks it unfair that the US is as rich as it is,  when he sees the Constitution as "a slavery traders' document,"  when his inner circle and confidants include the likes of Bill Ayers,  Annita Dunn,  Van Jones,  members of the radicalized,  "We hate America,"   Muslim Brotherhjood,  when his bud,  Eric Holder blames the historicity of this nation for continued and imagined racial repression,  when he campaigned on a "fundamental transformation" of this country  (do any of you understand the radical nature implications of "fundamental"  or "transformation" ?), when CAIR is approved and given credence within Obama's Administration,  when he invites Al Sharpton to the center of his domestic administration   . . . . . . .   well,  the conclusion that he is a hater of traditional America is undeniable.  
 Finally, no one can say the following without believing that this nation stinks at all levels: 


May of 2008:
MICHELLE OBAMA, speaking Puerto Rico: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

 

A word about the recent murder of a Jordanian pilot, killed by the hands of the savages we know as ISIS.


<<<  Young Jordanian pilot,  in ISIS custody,  scared out of his mind,  waiting for what was a most brutal execution. 

Two days ago,  Jordan issued a warning to ISIS:  "Kill our pilot and we will kill all alQaeda prisoners in our jails,"  or words to that effect.  

With that in mind,  ISIS just spit in the face of the Jordanian leadership.  Not only did they kill their Jordanian captivity,  they took 22 minutes of video time,  to do so,  ending with his being placed in a cage, doused with gasoline,  and set on fire,  while very much alive.  

Jordan has been very vocal in its criticism of Obama and his empty "red line" threat to Syrian leadership.  We wait to see what Jordan does next.  
Just minutes before he is set on fire.  


You should understand that ISIS is simply burning all their bridges within the Middle East.  Iran is an ally of ISIS,  but has not gotten fully involved   . . . .   not even close.  In the meantime,  ISIS has decided to laugh at Lebanon,  Jordan,  Saudi Arabia,  and Egypt as it (ISIS) continues its rampage in that region.  

And to think,  this Middle East crisis, would never have played out in the way it has,  if Obama had listened to reason before pulling US troops from Iraq.   We should never forget his stubborn and self-serving ignorance as to the importance of his Iraqi decision and the health and welfare of the Middle Eastern World.  And,  if "self-serving ignorance" is not the best description for his actions,  then we are left with a man who simply did not care what he creating in moving out of the Middle East   . . . .   and "not caring" trumps "stupidity" in my book.    He is an absolute disgrace of a president,  and beyond doubt,  the most dangerous man in American history. 
_____________
After notes:  this murder has the markings of a "game changer."  Clearly,  ISIS has called the bluff of the Jordanian hierarchy.  The potential deaths of all hostages held by ISIS and non-ISIS forces lies in the balance.  

And will this death translate into the beginnings of a counter offensive against ISIS by Middle Eastern allies?  

To this editor,  it is clear that the time for patience and reserve has past.  ISIS must be destroyed and destroyed immediately.  John Kerry and Obama want this thing to last for years into the future.  They have predicted such.  But that view is centered in the refusal of the US to commit to the destruction of the larger jihadist community.  
Update #1:  The current talking point is that this execution was done four weeks ago.  Makes no difference to me.  The video was released this morning,  in response, to Jordan's threat.  It is not the timing of the execution,  but the timing of the release of this murder is the critical issue.  

Did Jordan know their pilot was already dead at the time they issued their determination to kill all hostages if their pilot was killed?  If so,  some suggest that the King of Jordan is working to build up an emotional fever within his country that would give permission to enter the conflict in a big , big way.  


While the media is trying to resurrect an "energized and agressive Obama," we remember his failures and the fact that he is now, a lame duck president

--WashPost A1, "Defiant Obama to go on offense in State of the Union address," by David Nakamura:"After two years in which the White House often found itself on the defensive, .... the president and his advisers have made 'a tactical change,' said Simon Rosenberg, founder of the New Democrat Network, a liberal think tank. 'They're doing a better job at creating attention around the fact that they actually have a plan, a series of things they want to do.'" http://wapo.st/15rSJj9

Editor's notes: Understand this: you will see more and more headlines touting the "newly energized Obama."  If you get caught up in this rhetorical strategy,  and that is all it is  . . . .   an empty strategy,  you will forget that this is the "election cycle genius"  who injected his policies into the 2014 elections,  "every one of them,"  got the worst beat down in nearly 100 years (seriously, worst beat down since the mid-1920's) in return for his arrogant self-assertion.

Let's forget that it was his policies that lost in 2014,  "every one of them."  And what were these policies:

1.  His support for radical Islam including his funding of the PLO,  his backstabbing of the Libyan and Egyptian presidents, his refusal to criticize "radical Islam" in spite of the dangers its presents,  his support for the radical Muslim Brotherhood, and his support of CAIR in domestic politics, to name a few issues.

2.  His decision to abandon the capture and interrogation of enemy combatants.  Sadly, we know less about radical Islam now,  than before 9/11.

3.  His refusal to call the Fort Hood killings,  an act of war.  This tragedy happened in November of 2009,  and, until December of 2014,  the men and women killed or wounded in that event by a Muslim jihadist,  were denied benefits and recognition (i.e. the Purple Heart).  Since December,  the nonsense of calling Fort Hood, "workplace violence" was officially rejected,  opening the door to future recognition and benefits to its victims.

4.  His abandonment of Iraq and the subsequent disaster we are witnessing in that country,  as we write this post.  That is all on Obama.

5.  The losing war effort in Afghanistan  . . .    an embarrassment on a grand scale,  with 80% of all casualties in that country the end game of his "righteous war."  Turns out,  as a military strategist,  this man is a buffoon.

6. His failed energy policies,  including forced higher prices on fossil fuels,  the wasteful investments in any number of alternative energy strategies including his failure to create a new and promised electric grid,  the corruption we saw as he "invested" in one failed effort (batteries,  golf cart give-aways,  over-priced electric cars,  failed wind and solar projects, his closure to drilling in the Gulf and on federal lands,  and his idiotic attack on coal).

7.  His failed policies as to reduced college costs.

8.  His abject failure to create a path to increased wealth within the black community.

9.  His support of Communist leadership in South America in Hondruas,  Cuba and Venezuela,  to name three of his most prominent departures from accepted American policies.

10. His decision to include a radical element in his Administration,  including Al Sharpton as a chief and "principle" adviser (for gawd sake), the self-proclaimed "activist,  Eric Holder,  Valarie Jarrett  (an Iranian born woman who has been with the Obama's since before their marriage),  Van Jones (a 10 year card carrying Communist),  and members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

11.  His refusal to work with Congress including both the Democrat Senate or the GOP controlled House.

12.  His tax policies,  leading to the highest taxes increases in human history,  much less American history.  Understand that our annual debt has gone down,  in the past two years,

13.  ObamaCare and its laughable implementation.

14.  The failed and unwritten Dodd/Frank "too big to fail" economic reform law,  that has been criticized by the likes of Leftist, Elizabeth Warren.  Understand that half of this law,  signed into law in July of 2010,  remains unwritten,  with 25% of the law without a skeletal foundation.  In other words,  it is a joke.

15.  His failure to secure a signal annual budget.  We have not had a budget since Obama came into office  . . .   not one in six years of administration  . . . . . . .  as ordered by law.

16.  His "red-line" disaster in Syria.

17.  His support for Iran and its nuclear development.

18.  His opposition to Israel and support for a return to the pre-1967 Israeli borders.

19.  His overt support for the "prophet Mohammed."

20.  His hatred for the GOP and anything "conservative."

21.  His disrespect for court decisions and Constitutional limitations.

Understand that because of Obama,  the Democrat Party has gone from his strongest domestic influence in American history,  to its weakest time since the mid-1920's.



Its "pay back time" in this Administration. Will the nation survive the assault of the anti-Constitution Left ? I am not sure any of us know.

"We'll tear this gawd-damn country up," (video)  and with those words,  we have the attitude of the "outsiders" who have become a pox on our nation and our presidency.  Words for calm from Obama, to be sure, but words countered (by Obama) with comments addressed to the Ferguson rioters such as "Stay the course."  He is surrounded by his Castro loving Congressional Black Caucus, and,  has never leveled a single word of condemnation for the trash that is the Angry Black Leadership, per se,   in this country.  No challenge to Louis Farrakhan Muhammad (that's the man's full name),  specifically, and the content and goals of Farrakhan's Nation of Islam.  Not a word critical of Jeremiah Wright,  the person,  and Wright's anti-colonial (as in all that came out of the 13 Colonies), anti-"white man's Christianity" mentality.  There is Obama's administrative inclusion of an Attorney General, Eric Holder,  who has radicalized the Department of Justice,  filled its ranks with some 40 lawyers who refuse to prosecute black on white crime and sees himself an activist black man.   We have a president who reaches out for counsel from Al Sharpton;  invites him to the WH and refuses to challenge this man,  one of the most divisive leaders to have ever come onto the American scene.  Understand this:  these leaders and more  (the 10 year, card carrying communist, Van Jones, the New Black Panthers whom he refuses to prosecute, Bill Ayers) all preach "violent revolution if necessary" and treat white people, those who disagree with their avocation for violence,  as slave masters or "Uncle Toms."  


You should know that Mike Brown's stepdad has been filmed calling for the destruction of Ferguson  ("Burn this bitch down,  burn this bitch down, burn this bitch down") . He and Brown's mother visited the UN,  filed a complaint against Ferguson and the United States,  and returned home, but not before taking pictures with their right hands raised in a Black Power salute.

Understand this:  there is nothing "American" about "Black Power," the Black Power salute, Jeremiah Wright's anti-white rants,  Holder's refusal to prosecute Black on white crime,  Sharpton's "war against whitie" and, his favorite rant,  "No Justice, no peace,"  or the Congressional Black Caucus's embrace of Fidel Castro.  

Obama has emboldened all of this and more.  What to do?  Prepare to protect yourself,  never fail to vote against this crap,  and, wait for this episode in our history,  to be over.     

Stephen Hayes writing in the Weekly Standard, pins a comprehensive summary of the failed administration of Barack Obama.

Below is the ending of a Stephen Hayes' article.  I am saving it as a trophy,  to be passed on to my grandchildren.  This man's failure is a monument to the Progressive/Utopian Movement,  an unAmerican effort to destroy historic "America" from within.  It is comprised of those who despise our history and resent the fact of our national success.  This article is a "trophy" in that it is actually a testament to the relentless effort of the Conservative Nation.  Hail to this great nation and the inevitable return to the principles and values commissioned by our Founders.  You will want to take time to read this excellent,  excellent, article.  Click "here" and begin at the beginning ~ editor.  

(From the Weekly Standard):  The disapproval of Obama is widespread. A New York Times/CBS/YouGov poll released on October 9 found that Obama’s disapproval ratings are higher than his approval ratings in 43 of 50 states. Obama’s approval rating is above 50 percent in only three states.
Here, then, is the great irony of the Obama presidency: Barack Obama will be a transformative president, but not in the way he imagined when he spoke to the Reno Gazette-Journal a year before he took the oath of office. Rather than restore faith in government, the Obama presidency has all but destroyed it. 
Despite himself, Obama has made the case for limited government more powerfully than his opponents. The biggest question in American politics over the next two years is a simple one: Can Republicans take advantage of it?
Stephen F. Hayes is a senior writer at The Weekly Standard.

Obama's sense of "fairness" threatens to get us all killed. Too much hyperbole? Maybe not.

Brietbart.com  gives us this news lede:  On Saturday at Newark Airport, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials rushed to meet with a United Airlines flight from Brussels and removed a passenger, believed to be from Liberia, suspected of having Ebola.

The CDC crew responded to flight 998 in full hazmat gear and took the man and his daughter to University Hospital in Newark for further evaluation. According to a senior federal official, the passenger was manifesting "flu-like symptoms." The passenger was reportedly vomiting in the plane but did not exhibit other Ebola-like symptoms.

Editor’s notes:  And this is how an epidemic begins.  I reported, yesterday (Friday the 3rd) that whole flights of 737’s are bringing hundreds of folks into this country on a daily basis.  Many of them are coming directly from the infected regions of Africa.  Others are flying to Europe,  buying new flight tickets in that continent,  avoiding declarations they are coming from the danger zones of Aftrica,  and returning to America where it, often,  becomes impossible to track their return. 

Is this a problem?  Potentially,  yes.  Sadly,  by the time we know,  it could be too late to sound the alarms. 

Understand that in 2010,  the genius in our White House, took down CDC procedures that prevented this sort of thing – folks coming into this country from disease ridden regions of the world.  Why he made this decision escapes all who are aware of what he has done. 

Could it be that he thinks it not fair for the US to escape this crisis because of its ability to do so?    You may laugh,  but I think his sense of fairness is that twisted. 

Think about it:  he wages wars in AfghanistanLibyaEgypt,   SomaliaYemen, Syria and Iraq (he has sent bombing runs into all 7 of these nations) but refuses to extinguish  the enemy.  It is not fair that a superpower win wars because of its wealth and military culture.  As a result,  his military efforts have been a resounding failure,  across the board. 

It is not fair that Iran be prohibited from expressing its right to sovereignty.  As a result,  Obama has promoted the Iranian nuclear program.  Take it to the bank:  when Iran uses its powers against Israel,  Obama will be the fault.  Since we cannot throw him in jail for criminal negligence,  he will live out his pathetic life in the lap of luxury.   After all,  the Progressive/Marxist Left does not believe it fair that an Arab alliance lost the 100 day war against Israel.  As a result, our Palestinian loving president, is determined to return the Middle East to the days before that war.    In this case,  his sense of fairness trumps Israel’s right to sovereignty. 

The point of this post?  It is Obama's (and his One World buds in Congressss  -  all  Democrat/Progressives) warped sense of "fairness" that threatens the safety, health and welfare of this once great nation.  


We review the idiocy of Louis Farrakhan, knowing that millions of blacks have bought into his opinion and the hate he spews on a daily basis.

From the mouth of Farrakhan:  Another method is disease infection through bio-weapons such as Ebola and AIDS, which are race targeting weapons. There is a weapon that can be put in a room where there are Black and White people, and it will kill only the Black and spare the White, because it is a genotype weapon that is designed for your genes, for your race, for your kind.

Editor's notes:  Sadly,  much of the Black community has been fed this kind of tripe for 30 years,  to the point that such nonsense actually affects their thinking as to race relations within this once great nation.  Of course,  none of the Farrakhan commentary is true,  but who cares when the audience has been converted into a body of white haters while holding onto a victimology that works against respect for the nation and its place in the free and fair world?  Farrakhan and Jeremiah Wright are both race baiters of monumental proportions,  and Obama sat at their feet for years.  

It is now safe to say that Obama never had it in his mind to bring the races together,  especially in view of the fact that in so doing,  he obviously believes he would be condoning bigotry. There is no question as to the increase in racial tension since Obama's presidency began.  It is this increased tension and Obama's willingness to cast the US in the same repressive light as the likes of Iran,  Russian,  China, or any number of terrorist groups that convinces this editor of the correctness of his [my] opinion.  In fact,  so antagonistic is Obama, that he told a black audience,  just before the 2012 elections,  that voting was the best revenge available.   And we still have two years of this nothing burger,  to go.

Here are two statements demonstrating the insanity of Obama's sense of sefl-importance. Combine niavete and monumental arrogance gives you what we have seen over the past six years.

On July 27, 2007, candidate Obama spoke at the National Urban League convention in St. Louis, Missouri, and also promised a powerful transformation for the nation on day one of his administration. (Source: CNN)
The day I’m inaugurated, the country looks at itself differently. And don’t underestimate that power. Don’t underestimate that transformation.

YEAR 2007  Source:  Breitbart
On November 21, 2007, then-candidate Obama said on New Hampshire Public Radio that his Muslim experience would make us safer:
I truly believe that the day I’m inaugurated, not only the country looks at itself differently, but the world looks at America differently…If I’m reaching out to the Muslim world they understand that I’ve lived in a Muslim country and I may be a Christian, but I also understand their point of view…My sister is half-Indonesian. I traveled there all the way through my college years. And so I’m intimately concerned with what happens in these countries and the cultures and perspective these folks have. And those are powerful tools for us to be able to reach out to the world…then I think the world will have confidence that I am listening to them and that our future and our security is tied up with our ability to work with other countries in the world that will ultimately makes us safer

Obama may not be a closet Muslim, but he certainly acts like one. See this report by Judicial Watch.

From Judicial Watch:  President Obama’s own Homeland Security Secretary has snubbed him by refusing to go along with his outrageous plan to lift a decades-old ban on Libyans attending flight schools and training as nuclear scientists in the United States.

As unbelievable as it may seem, the commander-in-chief and his State Department schemed to lift the prohibition despite strong congressional opposition. In fact a final regulation was recently approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Judicial Watch wrote about it just weeks before the second anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the U.S. Special Mission in Benghazi, Libya. Four Americans, including first diplomat to be killed overseas in decades, were massacred so the timing could not have been worse.

The ban was implemented in 1983 after a wave of terrorist incidents involving Libyans. The African nation continues to be a hotbed of terrorism and in fact, the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli was recently evacuated because violence between rival militias has created a deadly environment. Many other foreign governments have also shut down their embassies in Libya because the violence has spread throughout the entire country.

Nevertheless, President Obama and the State Department discounted congressional opposition to let Libyans train as pilots, airplane mechanics and nuclear scientists in the United States. This despite the fact that many of the 9/11 hijackers—mostly Saudi nationals—received their training in American flights schools because our government allowed it. At a Congressional hearing earlier this year, a top Homeland Security official revealed that the Hillary Clinton State Department first requested the Libyan ban lift in 2010. Three years later, the official, Alan Bersin, told Congress, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano agreed to begin the process to amend the regulations relating to Libya.

But a group of Republican lawmakers were determined to halt the dangerous plan one way or another. They even introduced legislation, which quickly earned bipartisan support. The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), which represents 51,000 pilots from dozens of U.S. and Canadian carriers, has also strongly opposed lifting the prohibition on Libyans. In a letter to leaders of the House Judiciary Committee, the group’s president notes that Libya is so dangerous the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) prohibits U.S. airlines and commercial operators from entering Libyan airspace.

Furthermore, the letter says, any person entering the U.S. for flight training undergoes a mandatory thorough background check which requires reliable data from foreign governments. “Given the political instability in Libya and the transitory nature of the government, ALPA is concerned that information relevant to a background check on Libyan nationals would be unreliable if not entirely unavailable,” the letter states. The ALPA also takes a dig at the administration’s assertion that the U.S. and Libya have normalized their relationship, writing that safety and security concerns must never be set aside to build diplomatic ties.


Something evidently clicked for Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, who rebuffed his boss by assuring Congress that he would keep the Libyan ban. At a House Judiciary Committee hearing this week Johnson confirmed that he would not lift it at this time, “given the current environment.” The lawmakers behind the effort to keep the status quo issued a joint statement praising the decision and Johnson’s common sense over Obama’s foolish plan. “Given the ongoing terrorist activity in Libya, there is no reason that the Obama Administration should have ever contemplated lifting a decades-old ban on Libyans coming to our country to train as pilots or nuclear scientists. The fact is that Libya’s government remains unstable today and the country is becoming more dangerous as rival rebel groups battle each other for control of Libya’s cities.”
