I can remember several times when Obama just started to laugh in public at various disasters triggered by his policies.
Happy laughter now seems to be the official White House reaction to domestic and international chaos and human suffering. You could call it leading with Obama’s big strength -- a great smile on TV -- while avoiding the worst of his weaknesses -- his inability to actually solve anything.
About a year ago when painfully high black unemployment figures were mentioned, especially among young black men, Obama gave a happy smile in response. Then when “NATO” (i.e., the U.S.) started to bomb and overthrow the stabilizing regime of Gadaffi in Libya in a plot to arm Syria’s Al Qaeda rebels with American weapons, including MANPADS, Obama gave us his fabulous movie star smile after being asked whether U.S. Presidents should not ask Congress for authorization to go to war. Now those weapons are being used by ISIS to kill people in Syria and Iraq, as it is marching on Baghdad and el-Maliki, our supposed ally. When the administration is asked to stop the march of barbarism in Iraq, it just gives a collective shrug. What, me worry?
Now the ISIS has a reported 88 pounds of enriched uranium and half a billion dollars stolen from Mosul banks, but “administration officials” are telling us not to worry.
Our southern border has been openly breached by our good neighbor Mexico and Central American corruptocracies, working hand-in-hand with the Sinaloa Cartel, La Raza, people smugglers (including children) and Valerie Jarrett, who has met with the Children’s Crusade organizers --- who are not allowed to talk to the media…

After seeing how some people continue to insist on “incompetence” as an explanation of what is happening I wonder if they would consider the beheading of Daniel Pearl to be the unfortunate result of an amateurish attempt to shave the hair from his neck. This is NOT sarcasm, I am perfectly serious.
Gray haired men enrolling in schools?
Mmmmmm.......sounds like drug lords infiltrating schools---planning to set up lifelong lucrative businesses getting kids addicted......giving out free samples.
Could also be sex traffickers ---lining up kiddies for johns..... and for pedophiles who pay big bucks to get ahold of the little darlings.
But I guess tolerant and compassionate libbers are OK with that (/snix).

Mexico made deal to send more illegal aliens to the U.S
Examiner.com ^ | 7/09/14 | Dave Gibson / FR by blueyon
On Monday, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Guatemalan president Otto Perez Molina held a joint press conference in Playas de Catazaja, Mexico, to officially announce an agreement to make it easier for those making the illegal journey to the United States from Central America, to cross into Mexico.
The Southern Border Program to Improve Passage, will provide for more border checkpoints along Mexico's border with Guatemala, and offer more protection and even emergency medical care to those making their way north. The illegal aliens will receive a so-called Regional Visitor's Card, according to El Universal. (Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...

INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY---Central America Border Rush Fueled By Remittances
(extortion racket---US taxpayers to prop up corrupt govts)
......52,000 unaccompanied illegals crossed the south Texas border this year.....as the political debate focused on immigration enforcement, a key economic factor has been lost in the clamor. Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, which are supplying three-quarters of the latest cross-border flood, and are dependent on their diaspora in the US to prop up their own woeful economies.
Immigrants send back billions of dollars to their families. Remittances have risen to 16.5% of El Salvador's GDP, 15.7% of Honduras' and 10% of Guatemala's, according to World Bank data. Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Bolivia rely on remittances for 4.1% to 9.7% of GDP.
But the figure drops precipitously for every other country in Latin America. Mexico, with the largest immigrant population in the U.S. with as many as 13 million people, now relies on remittances for just 2% of GDP.
Migrant remittances to Mexico were $22 billion in 2013, 29% below their 2006 peak. For Colombia, once a locus of drug-war violence, that has turned itself around, remittances are only 1.1% of GDP. Free-market star Chile's figure is 0%.
It's not surprising to see Central American leaders urging the U.S. to let the newest arrivals stay. Those migrants' remittances offer a lifeline to desperately poor countries. While the money goes to families, it helps the broader economy......and ultimately fills government coffers.
A 2008 Pew Research Center survey found that 54% of foreign-born Hispanics send remittances to their home countries, compared to 17% of U.S.-born Hispanics. Undocumented immigrants are believed to send more cash home than either.
Virtually all the cash received by the three remittance outliers is from the U.S. (Guatemala 89%, El Salvador 90%, Honduras 87%).
This article contains the 60 Minutes interview. The part everyone talks about begins at 13:10. The article in itself is interesting, as the author discusses Obama’s narcissism and includes quotes from Sam Vaknin.
Obama = the lawless one.
Given our circumstances, it's hard to say, but I think we've "progressed" well beyond mere foolishness.
We've been lead to the arena to become Fate's chewtoy:
"Whom the Gods would destroy they first make mad."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"Whom God wishes to destroy he first makes mad."
Seneca
"For those whom God to ruin has design'd, He fits for fate, and first destroys their mind."
John Dryden
This focus-grouped policy was well researched and received a big public test at the Ryan-Biden debate.
Now the ISIS has a reported 88 pounds of enriched uranium and half a billion dollars stolen from Mosul banks, but “administration officials” are telling us not to worry.
Obama just may cause the end of the democrat party it can’t happen to soon.
he is a pathetic man,
There is a good explanation here (see post 25).
He is incompetent at the things the President of the United States NORMALLY does. He is exceedingly successful at HIS agenda, the fundamental transformation of the country. He won’t allow the ordinary duties of being president interfere with his plans.
I think Blam’s back on crack. Did you see the pic of him laughing in the meeting with Rick Perry? Rick didn’t seem to see the humor. I guess when you aren’t stoned its just not that funny.
We knew this sort of thing was going to happen!
Those of us who decided to put on our big Boy and Girl pants and vote for Romney (Even though he was the last choice for most of us) were ridiculed, called RINO’s, and generally treated like sh*t for putting our support behind Romney to defeat the Marxist.
To those who didn’t vote, you hold some responsibility for where we’re currently at. You saw the damage Obama did in his first term, with a promise to complete his destruction on our nation, but it was more important for you to destroy Romney.
As bad as Romney is:
* He doesn’t hate the Constitution
* He doesn’t hate businesses
* He doesn’t hate tax cuts
* He doesn’t hate Christianity and religion
* He doesn’t hate oil exploration and the Keystone Pipeline
* He doesn’t hate our traditional allies...namely Israel
OBAMA...YES TO ALL!
All of this and yet FReepers and other like-minded douchebags saw Romney as more of a threat to Obama! You people who didn’t vote in the last Presidential election are NO Patriots! You are enablers who allowed a Marxist a 2nd term!
Obama, the Democrat Party, and Leftists everywhere thank you for your selfishness and stupidity.
Saying “inability to solve problems” misses the essential point of obama and his policies. In the fundamental transformation of America, all of these problems besetting the country are of his design and not intended to be solved. Stop giving him implicit credit for being well-intentioned but stupid and incompetent. He’s just evil along with his policies.
I voted for that moron, Romney, as did every member of my family. He didn’t even want it himself, participating in a foreign policy debate and not hammering the king on Benghazi. He let himself be bullied by Candy Crowley. He never fought after the first debate. He is worthless and a liberal. He threw the game against Ted Kennedy in 1994. This was a re-run.
I don’t blame people for not voting for Romney. How about blaming the real agents of this disaster instead of a bunch of phantom non-voters. Do you really think Obama won the thing legitimately? Romney was the Wendell Willkie of modern elections.
Four million Republican voters stayed home! No excuses for helping a Marxist win a second term!
They didn't have a dog in that fight.
It is not our duty to elect any idiot who gets the nomination, that idiot has to EARN our vote.
And the Marxist won a second term. But hey, at least we beat Romney.
