He doesn’t need to be briefed. He can just whip out another secret report that predicted this situation months ago.

Axelrod: “Good news Mr President. Your Suni friend Ghadafi is headed to visit your good friend and fellow commie in Venezuela. Top shelf, Mr President. Now we can start on building those Wahhabbi mosques down south of the border ways.”

I’m utterly speechless.

O’s standard reply to situations such as the Libyan revolt should be, “Pretty please don’t do anything that is politically inconvenient for me or which would actually require me to do something.”

What they did not say was that mac daddy was walking briskly to airforce one to start his 200th vacation at the tax payers expense.

It will be over before Obama figures what is going on. The way this revolt is going Washington needs help, lots of help.

Obama and Bin Laden are probably texting back and forth, doing cart wheels.

Whatever Barry says he’ll have to redact it in a few days. Listening to him only provides entertainment. Sad isn’t it?
