It Is Time For Exams

May 25, 2009 Political

During the last presidential campaign Joe Biden warned the country that Obama would be tested:

“It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate,” Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. “And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you – not financially to help him – we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.” Politico

It has not been quite 6 months but it looks like the child prodigy in the White House is getting tested all the same. Here are a few of the subjects on the table.

Israel

Netanyahu ignores Obama

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday rebuffed U.S. calls for a full settlement freeze in the occupied West Bank and vowed not to accept limits on building of Jewish enclaves within Jerusalem.

“The demand for a total stop to building is not something that can be justified and I don’t think that anyone here at this table accepts it,” Netanyahu told his cabinet, referring to Jewish settlements in the West Bank, according to an official. al-Reuters

North Korea

Tests nuclear weapon and missiles
North Korea made its second test of a nuclear explosive on Monday and declared it was more destructive than the first, an advance that is likely to further embolden Kim Jong Il’s regime in its standoff with the U.S. and other countries pushing for it to halt its weapons program. WSJ

Weapon more powerful than in 2006
North Korea claimed it carried out a powerful underground nuclear test Monday — much larger than one conducted in 2006 — in a major provocation in the escalating international standoff over its rogue nuclear and missile programs. Newsmax

Obama says threat to national security
North Korea said it conducted its first nuclear test in three years and also launched three short- range missiles, acts President Barack Obama said constitute a “threat to international peace and security.” Bloomberg

More powerful than Hiroshima
North Korea today risked further international isolation after it claimed to have successfully tested a nuclear weapon as powerful as the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. Guardian UK

Causes international outrage
There have been expressions of international outrage after North Korea said it had successfully carried out a underground nuclear test. BBC

North Korea threatens more if intimidated
The source said new nuclear tests would take place “if the United States and its allies continue the policy of intimidation against North Korea,” Tass reported. Yahoo News

Country warned it would resume nuclear tests after condemnation
North Korea, incensed by the condemnation of the April 5 rocket launch, had warned last month that it would restart its rogue nuclear program, conduct an atomic test and carry out long-range missile tests. My Way News

Iran

Not to be outdone by North Korea…

Iran rejects nuclear freeze proposal
Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rejected on Monday a “freeze-for-freeze” proposal put forward by the West in a bid to resolve a row over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear aims.

“The nuclear issue is a finished issue for us,” Ahmadinejad told a news conference. al-Reuters

Sends warships to project power
Iran has sent six warships to international waters, including the Gulf of Aden, to show its ability to confront any foreign threats, its naval commander said on Monday. World Bulletin

It looks like Obama is now confronted with a number of “tests” that Joe Biden warned us about. Remember what Joe said, it will not look like they are doing the right thing (though I would argue that it has not looked like that since they took office).

North Korea has nukes, Iran either has them or will shortly and the ones that Pakistan has are in danger of falling into the wrong hands. North Korea needs money and there are a lot of bad people who would pay a great deal of money for nuclear devices that they could use against the United States. Iran will probably send its nuclear weapon to a surrogate for use on Israel. This is happening before our eyes because, as I said before, Obama took his eye off the ball. Obama has been busy warning, no threatening, Israel to keep it from attacking Iran’s nuclear sites. I wonder if he will get the same response as with his last request…

He failed to pay attention to the rogue states, the Axis of Evil, if you will. He believed that Bush’s methods were wrong and that if he sat around holding hands and singing songs with the leaders of these nations that they would be enchanted with Obama’s smile and the hypnotic charm of hope and change would take effect.

He believed an unclenched fist would demonstrate friendship but those who would do us harm saw it as weakness.

Unfortunately, in the real world where the big boys play this is not a real way to deal with things. But Obama is now at the point where he is getting tested.

The Jews told him screw you.
The North Koreans told him screw you.
The Iranians said screw you.

Two of those three pose a serious threat to the US and the world.

I wonder if Obama will address the situation with those “dangerous” Jews first…

Test time Obama. You don’t need sharpened Number 2 pencils because they will not help. Joe Biden told me it would not look like you were doing the right thing.

That is probably one of the few things he has been correct about.

Despite Campaign Claims Hillary Lied About Bosnia

Mar 24, 2008 Political

The Clinton campaign is in damage control mode because the queen herself has been caught in a big lie. Hillary discusses a trip she and her daughter went on accompanied by Cheryl Crow and Sinbad. She said they were shot at by snipers and that they had to run to awaiting cars. The biggest problem with all this is that it is fabricated. Sinbad recalls no such thing and there is video footage of Chelsea and the queen walking across the tarmac smiling and waving. Hillary lied to people about the experience and her campaign is now saying that she misspoke. Some advisers are saying that it is hard to remember all the details when there have been so many trips and it was so long ago. Bull crap! If you are shot at you will never forget it. If you have to take evasive maneuvers you will never forget it. If your child is in that kind of danger you will never forget it. Hillary Clinton lied and that is the plain truth.

Interestingly, the media is just now picking up on this as if Hillary only said it for the first time. Clinton has been telling this story for some time. Howard Wolfson says that Clinton has told the story many times but misspoke this once. Once again I must say bull crap! I wrote about this in December of last year and Newsday.com had the story which described her harrowing experience. I knew Hillary was lying then just as I know she is lying now.

They will say anything to get elected. Hillary is a liar and she got caught. The thing is, she believes that since she is a Clinton all she has to do is change the story and it will be OK. After all, that is what she and her lying husband did for years. Their supporters are a bunch of mush for brains liberals who do not have the ability to see through them. Most Clinton supporters would stand in line to do to Bill what Monica did and they would proudly boast about it.

The problem now is that Obama has a pretty big following and the media is in love with the guy. Clinton stock has been falling faster than Bill’s pants in a Hooters and she is not able to get away with some of the same crap as she did before. Bill is not even looked at as favorably as he once was. One can only hope that this campaign is the end of their prominence and we will not have to see them anymore. Of course, I hope they do not depart before the Democratic Party is destroyed by its primary.

Say it with me Clinton followers. “Hillary lied. Hillary lied. Hillary lied.” Now, read this aloud a few times; “I am wee Todd.”

Nothing new to the rest of us but you folks have been a little dense. Some still are as evidenced by how they are lying to help her out of this mess.

Don’t get me wrong, I definitely feel as if Hillary is the one in that relationship who would confront danger. Bill showed what he was made of when it came time to serve in the military. Hillary might hate the armed forces but she knows how to mix it up when she does not get her way. In any event, she flat out lied about her Bosnia mission.

If she had been shot at don’t you think we would have heard about it then?

If Bill had not attacked Bosnia without UN permission (unilaterally is how the left puts it) Hillary and Chelsea might not have been there in the first place. It is also interesting to note that Hillary said if it was too dangerous for the president they sent her. He visited there before she did…

What took the tired old media so long to get into this story?

UPDATE: Here is a You Tube video from CBS that debunks what Hillary said.

Danger? Send Hillary

Dec 31, 2007 Political

Hillary Clinton, fighting back at B. Hussein Obama’s quip that her eight years at the White House were a glorified tea party stated that she risked her life on some of the missions she was sent on. She stated that on one trip she was in a plane that had to corkscrew into the landing zone and that they had to sprint to avoid snipers. The report indicates that her trip was a goodwill tour with Sinbad and Cheryl Crow and also included her daughter Chelsea who was 15 at the time. This information came from her book “Living History” (or making it up anyway).

Hillary said that if the trip was a dangerous one the dictum was to send her:

The dictum around the Oval Office in the ’90s, she added, was: “If a place was too dangerous, too poor or too small, send the first lady.” Newsday

Hillary has been taking daughter Chelsea on the campaign trail but will not let her speak to reporters because the Clintons, as they always have, protect their daughter from the ugliness of politics. They do not want her to be scarred by the process and they have to look like good parents. Hillary has to look like a woman who balanced a career and motherhood. So what kind of mother takes her 15 year old daughter on such dangerous trips? What does this dictum say about Bill’s manliness?

If the trip was so dangerous and she risked her life why, if she is so wonderful, did she also risk the life of her 15 year old daughter. It seems rather disingenuous to say that Chelsea may not speak to the press because she needs to be protected and then tell everyone that she was put at risk of losing her life by the very mother who claims to protect her.

I also wonder if it ever occurred to her that they kept sending her on dangerous trips for a reason (if, in fact they did). Perhaps they wanted Satan out of the way on a more permanent basis…

And before anyone says that I am wishing death on her keep in mind that I did not send her and I did not tell her to take her kid with her. I just reported what came out of her mouth. She went on dangerous missions and she was such a great parent that she took her kid with her.

If she becomes president then the US will have been sent on a dangerous mission that will end in disaster. She is Satan (and not such a good mother).
