The Insiders: Is there a mutiny brewing around Obama?
The Washigton Post ^ | September 13, 2014 | Ed Rogers

Is a mutiny happening around President Obama? It appears possible that the president may not have made two of his most recent decisions with complete free will. The announcement that he would delay his immigration initiative until after the election and his formal announcement that the United States would take military action against the Islamic State could have been coerced.

Maybe Democratic leaders in Congress and a few members of the Obama team have had it. Could it be that, after President Obama briefed Democrats in Congress on the immigration plan, they balked? Maybe the president was told that, if he waved in millions of new illegal immigrants before November, there would be an open revolt against him within the party.

Similarly, a few members of this administration who have independence, stature and an adult disposition may have told the president he must act on the Islamic State or else they were out. I’m thinking of at least Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. Is it possible they could not stomach doing nothing any longer and told the president that they would quit in protest if he did not take action?

Obama was told he has “outlived his usefulness” and the Party must look to the future, ie Hillary.

If that Massachusetts governor or senator or anyone from Illinois gets in? Sure.

Keep an ear on his use of “ISIL” instead of ISIS. One his own, he cannot resist this slap at Israel, but if he starts saying “ISIS” I suspect it will only be because someone in his inner circle has over-powered his own preference.

His approach has changed so much in the last few days that it’s hard to believe that there’s no coercion. I read that Dems everywhere are fleeing him because of his strange lack of response to the beheadings and other recent “problems,” so maybe somebody sat him down and told him that they’d cut off the money for golf clubs unless he pretended to be interested.

Heard this the other day. Interviewer to Obama....

“So what’s it like to be the last black president?”

Not sure who the comedian was - but I’ll bet he’s being audited.

Parse his words. Review his actual actions. The Muzzies have little to fear from this poseur.

Great pic. Where did it come from? ValJar looks like she’s about 23 years old.

If there are any signs of mutiny it is just stagecraft. There is no chance anyone on the left will toss aside the best thing that has happened to the left since Bill Clinton.

It's a framed photo in her office in the White House that she showed to Meet The Press when they were interviewing her. I've never had a photo of myself in my office, have you?

Nattering nabobs. Another side show commentary, along with a bearded president of a country long conned.

Obama is only comfortable being a community organizer and racial agitator.

Its why Eric Holder has always been in the forefront of his Administration, and why Holder will be around until the bitter end. Its also why he jumps into things like Trayvon Martin or Ferguson with both feet.

As far as the economy and the world are concerned - he’s still a state senator from Illinois.
