Orphan Obama: Has anyone ever seen such chutzpah?

There is an old Jewish joke about a boy who murders his parents, then throws himself on the mercy of the court as an orphan. It is a great joke and applies in a huge way to Mr. Obama, Mr. Axelrod, and their posse.

This morning, as I was battling the invasion of ants that is tormenting all of Southern California as we go through by far the worst heat wave I have seen in my 36 years here, I picked up and read the front page of my beloved former employer, the Wall Street Journal.

Sho' 'nuff, there was a story about new holes in the Obama administration's pitiful cover-up of the terror murders in Libya. The administration is just falling apart in its attempt to explain why it was covering up for murderers in Benghazi, and the GOP is attacking the administration for their lies and miscues.

Here comes the good part. The Democrats are firing back by saying that the GOP is trying to "politicize” a tragedy. YES!!! The Democrats in the Obama regime screw up horribly in Libya, then lie about it. They are the ruling party in a democracy. But they are not allowed to be criticized by the main opposition party. If anyone tries to point out the President's lies, that person is "playing politics” with foreign policy!

Mr. Obama, sir, we still live in a free country. We are supposed to point out the mistakes of the rulers. We are supposed to hold them to certain minimum levels of honesty and statesmanship.

That's not "playing politics” as you call it. That's life in a free nation with the rights of free expression and freedom of speech and thought.

"I think what we are seeing is the forming of totalitarianism."

I knew this when I saw the giant Greek columns at The One's inauguration. And earlier ... who but a narcissist with grand totalitarian aims says "we are the ones we've been waiting for" or claims the capacity to control the rise & fall of the oceans?

THAT’S RACISS!!!

We are supposed to point out the mistakes of the rulers.

Particularly when those "mistakes" are the result of criminal negligence and gross incompetence and result in the deaths of four US Citizens.

Actually, not just a joke, there was a court case in the last few years involving two brothers who killed their parents and actually got leniency from the court because they were now orphans.

I assume you’re thinking of the Menedez brothers back in the early 90s. That was the first thing I thought of. They didn’t really get leniency though.

"I think what we are seeing is the forming of totalitarianism."

I don't think that there was a time that I can remember when I knew it. It seems that I just knew it from the very first times I heard him, or saw him. It was obvious from the start. The only thing that surprises me is that he didn't grab more power faster and more brutally than he has. May The LORD preserve us, In Jesus Holy Name, and by His grace.

Amen.

Those 2 statements out of obama left me gasping for breath in their stupidity and then how they were sopped up by his followers, showed me he knew just how to speak to his people.
