Now that we are conveniently told of this “secret” where is some proof that it ever occurred? You can’t trust serial chronic liars. I say BS &CYA.

He’s doing damage control by throwing a red herring out.

Ok, I’m sorry about this man’s death but this is the funniest presidential photoshop since the two Bushes fishing during Katrina.

Are you old enough to remember Jimmy Carter’s disastrous failed helicopter rescue of the Iranian hostages, the ones held by “students”? And how the day Ronald Reagan was sworn in, and the terrorists knew a cowboy President was in charge, the hostages came home? Yeah, it’s like that.

This President has no foreign affairs, executive, military, law enforcement, intelligence, business, or economic experience. Essentially a provincial politician, that played race politics (but in a more mild way that doesn't turn off the white female voters like Jesse Jackson), he managed to turn serious character flaws or questions about his ideology into strengths through rhetorical means.
Think about it, if someone with ties to terrorists and his drug history applies for any job requiring a security clearance, what do you think will happen?

Our enemies smell weakness, and in this world, a speech alone is not the end, nor are most people operating on the higher rungs of Maslows hierarchy.
Obama I suppose is a natural consequence of a post national and secular society, i.e. where multiculturalism and diversity have essentially pushed the older classical American values aside. Obama is a manifestation of social changes you see in the US.

I had to expand the picture to see what it said on the golf cart: “Absent One”.
I was thinking maybe “Golf Course One”, but that’s way better.

Im not all that upset about this one, after reading Foleys background as a terrorist sympathizer. That's what I've come to understand, too. Not saying he deserved it, but he was definitely embracing the wrong side and it cost him his life.
To: Diana in Wisconsin
Yeah, same here. Sounds like he was true to moHAMmed till the end. They could have told him that it was just pretend and they wouldn’t saw his head off and did it anyhow.

Affirmative. CIA chief Brennan is a Moslem. Converting in Saudi Arabia with Sunni pals. Faith first for the caliphate.
