Obama’s spiteful week-before-Christmas message
Canada Free Press, by Judi McLeod

Obama’s Christmas messages this year not only ring out with insincerity and offer goodwill to none, but are more vile than ever.

As he prepares to head out to Blue Hawaii on a trip that one Hawaiian newspaper says will cost recession-bound taxpayers a whopping $4million, this is the email he sent out yesterday:

“Friend—

“Early this morning, the last of our troops left Iraq.

“As we honor and reflect on the sacrifices that millions of men and women made for this war, I wanted to make sure you heard the news.

“Bringing this war to a responsible end was a cause that sparked many Americans to get involved in the political process for the first time. Today’s outcome is a reminder that we all have a stake in our country’s future, and a say in the direction we choose.

“Thank you.

“Barack”

“Bringing this war to a responsible end was a cause that sparked many Americans to get involved in the political process for the first time?”

If that were truly the case, there would have been no need for “Barack” to send out Sunday’s message.

People were involved in the political process in America long before Obama ever came into office, and will be involved long after he’s gone.

Barack, who many insist on calling Barry, as in Soetoro, is preaching to the already converted lib-left.

Barry thinks he can cover in one glossed-over line how “we honor and reflect on the sacrifices that millions of men and women made for this war.”

The flat-out paranoia of the NRA and Wayne LaPierre

Finally, it’s also a matter of increasingly delusional paranoia infecting the NRA. Prior to the ‘08 election, the gun group warned its members that Barack Obama had a secret 10-point plan to end gun ownership in this country.

Point One was a federal ban on the use of guns for home defense. Point Three was a ban on the sale, manufacture and possession of handguns. Point Four was the closure of 90 percent of American gunshops. Federal taxes on guns and ammunition were supposed to go up 500 percent, and the sale of ammunition for hunting rifles was supposed to be banned altogether.

As you may recall, that bit of hysteria touched off quite a spree of gun-buying after the election, boosting the profits of the NRA’s sponsors in the gun industry. In fact, as ammunition disappeared from store shelves, that itself was quickly cited as evidence that ammo confiscation was already underway. The NRA, in other words, played its own members for patsies.

Today, three years later, none of that has come to pass. Obama has made no effort whatsoever to alter the nation’s gun laws. So, given their hyperbolic claims, you might think that would make LaPierre and others a little embarrassed, right? It’s like when evangelist Harold Camping predicted that the world would end on May 21. When he woke up May 22, you just know he felt at least a wee bit sheepish about it, right?

Well, no. Camping did no such thing, because you see, Camping is crazy. Instead of apologizing, he announced that May 21 had merely been the day of spiritual judgment, and that God was really coming to destroy the universe on Oct. 21, 2011. And that’s exactly the course that LaPierre and the NRA are taking.

In a speech at a conservative conference in Florida this month, LaPierre explained that by taking no action to implement his alleged 10-point program, Obama had actually proved that the NRA had been right all along.

You see, “before the president was even sworn into office, they met and hatched a conspiracy of public deception to guarantee his re-election in 2012″ by just PRETENDING not to seize guns. The failure to act “is all part of a massive Obama conspiracy to deceive voters and hide his true intentions to destroy the Second Amendment.”

“We see the president’s strategy crystal clear. Get re-elected and, with no more elections to worry about, get busy dismantling and destroying our firearms freedom. Erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights and exorcise it from the U.S. Constitution….

President Obama and his cohorts — yeah, they’re going to deny their conspiracy to fool gun owners. Some of the liberal media are probably already blogging about it. But we don’t care because as far as we’re concerned, that lying, conniving Obama crowd can kiss our Constitution!”

A five-course meal at Honolulu's priciest
restaurant after golf with his hooker-
loving buddy... Obama faces another
tough day in Hawaii
Daily Mail

President Obama is clearly not roughing it as he plays a lot of golf between trips to the beach with his wife and two daughters.

But as the commander-in-chief teed off at the Ko’olau Golf Club yesterday, the one thing more eye-opening than his handicap is who he golfs with.

With him at Ko’alau was Robert 'Bobby' Titcomb, a close friend of Obama’s since high school, who was arrested in a prostitution sting.

Titcomb was one of four men who allegedly approached an undercover police officer for sex in downtown Hawaii on April 4.

A judge fined him $500 but accepted his request for a deferral, meaning the charge will be wiped off his record if Titcomb stays out of trouble for six months.

After several hours on the course with Titcomb and two others, the president kicked back with the First Lady, his sister Maya Soetoro-Ng, and several other friends at one of Honolulu’s priciest restaurants.

'We are not in the habit of,
warning more than once':
Iran tells U.S. not to send aircraft
carrier back to gulf after missile test
Daily Mail [UK], by Wil Longbottom

* USS John C. Stennis sailed through Strait of Hormuz last week on 'routine' passage
* 10 days of naval exercises staged by Iran in Persian Gulf, including test-firing of anti-ship missiles
* Tehran threatens to shut strait and block shipping of crude oil

Iran has threatened to take action if a U.S. aircraft carrier returns to the Persian Gulf.

The USS John C. Stennis, along with another vessel, left the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz last week after Iran launched a series of military exercises.

Tehran has also threatened shutting the strait - through which 40 per cent of the world's traded oil is shipped - if foreign powers impose sanctions on its crude exports.

Speaking at the end of 10 days of naval exercises today, General Ataollah Salehi said: 'Iran will not repeat its warning... the enemy's carrier has been moved to the Sea of Oman because of our drill.


'I advise, recommend and warn them [the Americans] over the return of this carrier to the Persian Gulf because we are not in the habit of warning more than once.'

Gen Salehi did not name the vessel, or give details of the action Iran would take if it does return.
