NYT and the Obama's Nixon Bugging - 2nd Term Blues

The New York Times: Reports on the "..domestic surveillance program under which it is collecting business communications records involving Americans under a hotly debated section of the Patriot  Act,...".

Lets Get Real:

Half of the article is a defence of the action by the Obama Administration by a Obama Official , of course off the record, think folks if this was Richard Nixon just after Watergate, Ronald Reagan at the height of Iran - Contra or Bush 43 after Iraq and his anti terrorist polices, would the uber liberal NYT give the Administration so much space for the defence, one has great doubts, this blog can not even find a critical editorial on the news.  Lets be clear this blog support the policy, bug everyone if it saves lives, that is the WORLD after 9/11, the World still in the War on Terror, what ever President Obama says on the matter on any given day.   Lets recall the uber liberal NYT covered for Stalin, one would have thought it would have learned from that lesson, IT HAS NOT, that is why the NYT is going broke and blind in both eyes, if you refuse to see the truth and only report YOUR TRUTH you are bound to fail folks, such a pity for once great Newspaper, thank goodness for modern media.  

Obama on Bugging YOU in the US - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian: Reports the following reaction by the Obama White House to the leak that the NSA is bugging millions of US Citizens, " White House upholds 'critical tool in protecting the nation from terrorist threats' as senior politicians condemn practice ".

Lets Get Real:

It will be interesting how the LIBERAL press spin this story for Obama, you know folks if this was Richard Nixon or Bush 43 they would be up arms, even more so if you add the attack on the AP and Fox News, the problem that President Obama has is that he has stated within the past few days that the War on Terror is OVER, so why does the NSA need to bug million of Americans, either the US is at War with Terror or it is not, you can not have it both ways, the liberal press know in their heart of hearts if they let Obama off on this the next Republican President will laugh at them if they go after him over the same issue, in the future a Republican President can say he is just doing as President Obama, and what can the press say, that is why Obama is fool folks, he has allowed his ego to run away with him, words have a way of coming back to bite you on the Presidential backside, if your allow hubris to take over folks. 

National Security OR 1984? - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: Reports that the US National Security Agency has ordered Verizon, a major US telephone company to hand over the numbers of its clients, who they phone and the duration of those calls. 

Lets Get Real: 

After the press bugging are you surprised folks, the only surprise is that its a LIBERAL President who has pushed the limits what Bush 43 started, yes liberals will blame Bush 43, they seem to forget that President Obama is six months in to his second term.  As to the issue, if it secures the US, so be it, its the right policy, the NSA is far to clever to get in to the mess that is the IRS scandal, even the Obama crowd would never push they NSA, they bug everyone, you do no mess with them, the Oval will have to come out and defend this policy, if it prevents terrorist attack then its a great policy, do you want your phone bugged or another 9/11 in New York, a 7/7 in London, or another Boston.   Lets see how Liberals and Conservatives react, if your a Conservative you should support this policy, you would if it was a Republican President, if your a LIBERAL you will be calling for Impeachment, lets see who follows the Party line and stand firms with their Agenda no matter who is on the Oval, as with Drones the Oval is right on this policy.  The Leaker should be sent to jail, security comes first folks. 

Obama on Syria - Syrian Update

The White House: In the following statement the Oval states the following on the role of Hizballah and Iran in Syria, " It is clear that the regime could not contest the opposition’s control of Qusayr on its own, and is depending upon Hizballah and Iran to do its work for it in Qusayr.  Hizballah’s involvement in Syria and the Syrian regime’s cross border attack today on Arsal represent blatant violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty and a deliberate threat to Lebanese stability.  The United States firmly supports Lebanon’s security, stability and sovereignty.  We commend and support recent statements by Lebanon’s leaders calling for adherence to Lebanon’s policy of disassociation from the Syrian conflict.  Hizballah and Iran should immediately withdraw their fighters from Syria. We also urge all parties to avoid actions that could exacerbate the already devastating toll of this crisis on civilians and increase the risks of spillover of violence. ....Assad’s refusal to step aside is only prolonging the suffering of the Syrian people and postponing the inevitable.  Assad’s reign will end, and the Syrian people will build a new, democratic Syria without him.  Those who have committed these heinous crimes against the Syrian people will be held accountable. ".

Lets Get Real: 

The Obama Oval has let down the Syrian people, it has been estimated that over eighty thousand Syrians have died in the Syrian Civil War, over million Syrians are refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Turkey, these Countries have started to be infected with the violence from Syria, the Oval stated last year that should Assad use chemical weapons this would be a red line and the US would ACT, well the French and the UK has confirmed that chemical weapons have been used and the WORLD does nothing, the Obama Oval has abdicated leadership in the Middle East, the ISRAELI air force has become the regional Policeman because the Oval is afraid to ACT, history does not look well on weak leaders, no matter their internal domestic record, President Johnson was tarred with no winning in Vietnam, Bush 43 saw his administration eaten away by Iraq, his brave decision to have a surge allowed the US to leave Iraq with some honour, even thought the place is now falling apart, and that is more down to VP Biden not getting an agreement for the US to stay in Iraq.   The Oval has to get off its ego and lead in the Middle East, that means using force in Syria and Iran, otherwise the region and the World will suffer folks. 

Rice in CHARGE, NOT Kerry! - 2nd Term MISTAKE

Guardian: Reports the following the naming of Susan Rice as the NSA to President Obama, " ..like the Bush administration before it, the White House is the place where US foreign policy comes into existence. ".

Lets Get Real: 

The uber left wing Guardian is almost jumping with joy at the prospect of Ambassador Rice becoming the new NSA, they do not seem to have a problem with the fact that there is NOW the perception that Secretary Kerry is just hat stand, all the power will be within the Oval, while the State Department will be lucky to get the news before it turns up on the 24/7 news channels. this not new folks, one is surprised that Kerry agreed to take the job, he just might like the title and flaying, he will have no say in the White House once Rice becomes the NSA, she speaks for the President, and the D.C and World will know that fact, there is almost an argument that the job of Secretary of State should be abolished and the Department moved under the National Security Advisor, it will save time and it would give the NSA some Departmental influence, it could even be argued that the NSA should get Senate approval, no President will agree to that, thus poor Secretary Kerry, all that glitter and its fake.   That is the price of ego and politics folks. 

LOYAL to WHOM ? - 2nd Term MISTAKE

Fox News: Has the following commentary on the naming of Susan Rice as the new NSA, " ..the president is trying to staff up his administration with those who he knows are absolutely loyal. Rice, a longtime confidante, has proven herself to be that. So too has the woman Obama will nominate to replace Rice in New York, Samantha Power... ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks what is President Obama afraid off, that is the only reason for this move, you do not bring a scandal that close to the Oval in less you have something worse to hide, at least when US Ambassador Rice was at the UN she was some distance from the Oval, now she has the office next door, does the Oval not think the Republicans in the House will demand her presence to explain who gave her the final push on that Sunday, one does not have to be a Time Lord to work out it was the Oval, thus the talking points came from the Oval, it was the Oval's idea to lie to the US voters in 2012, that can be the only reason for the above, or that the Oval has totally lost the plot, this is a guy who accepted a Noble Peace Prize for coming through the door, then let lose the drones.    Even voters who have given the Oval the benefit of the doubt well smell the BS when Obama announces that Rice is the new NSA, its a dirty Chicago deal folks, if you do not know that read a different blog. 

Benghazi/Rice and POTUS - 2nd Term MISTAKE

The New York Times: Reports the following on the appointment of Ambassador Rice as the next Obama National Security Advisor, " It is also a defiant gesture to Republicans who harshly criticized Ms. Rice for presenting an erroneous account of the deadly attacks on the American mission in Benghazi,.. ".

Lets Get Real:

This is an insult to the Republican in the House who are searching for the truth of the Benghazi terror attack, well the Republicans have to take the gloves off, get the new NSA before a Congressional Committee, ask her who she saw at the White House before going on the Sunday talk shows, force the Oval to refuse the attendance of Rice before Congress, then the Hill and the World will will know that that it was the Oval behind the lie to the the US voters during an election year and to the World.   This Administration has shown a arrogance of power from the start, they think the rules do not apply to them, well if the Chicago political mob want to play by those rules, lets see how they like being under the hot seat of a Hill Committee run by the Republicans.    This is a massive mistake by the Oval, it shows a President caught up his own bubble, nearly ALL will think this  is political payback, its one of the worse decisions since Lt. Colonel North was bough in to the White House, also what will Secretary Kerry think, he will be worried that the Oval will now start to sideline the State Department, very much like Nixon and Kissinger did in the Nixon Administration of the early 1970s, and Obama and Rice are no Nixon and Kissinger, even on their good days.  The arrogance of power folks.
