Once you get in the car, you can’t get off ’til the ride’s over…

You have probably seen multiple written accounts, stories and publish articles, recently about a growing international backlash.   This stems from revelations that under the specific direction of President Obama  the NSA (National Security Agency) has been spying upon a growing contingent of international leaders. 
Our allies are furious with the NSA for spying on them and their respective leaders.   Consequently U.S. credibility and trust has been deconstructed.
Indeed, by recent count the list of Allied Western nations rising in open opposition to President Obama, and his administration, stands around 35.  That’s THIRTY FIVE.
It is against that bold and visible backdrop we wish to draw back your attention.

In July of 2012, during his Term-two presidential bid, President Obama gave a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Reno, Nevada. His speech was specifically constructed to outline his accomplishments:

“Because we’re leading around the world, people have a new attitude toward America.” “There’s more confidence in our leadership. We see it everywhere we go.”
– Barack Obama July 2012

At the time many of us just about fell out of our seats. With quick dispatch, and working purely from immediate memory, we outlined the following:

[2012]  There are many administration claims that I shake my head when I hear, but this one is perhaps the worst. It is a complete and utter fallacy to proclaim President Obama’s foreign policy has been even remotely successful. This is just freestyle off the top of my head, but consider: (more…)

The one constant in an ever changing universe is how progressives are committed to the whole “I’m friends with my children” schtick.   This generic communal immaturity creates profound liberal hypocrisies.    Cue –  Maryland AG, Doug Gansler, who was photographed at his son’s party in Bethany Beach Delaware taking merry pictures of teenagers engaged in binge drinking, and having a grand ol’ time.

Gansler’s first auto-erotic response was to claim he had no moral authority to do anything about the underage drinking….. D’oh….   But then the political “betters” got a hold of him and shaped his messaging to be, well, more gubernatorial.  He now has “regrets“….

…. and when the bough breaks…

CBS’s front man, Scott Pelley, was visibly distraught and filled with tremendous anxiety as he seemed forced to report on the reality – Millions of Americans are losing their healthcare insurance coverage.

Indeed, it  well appears the media are being dragged to report on the reality lest they see themselves completely disconnected, and wallow amid embarrassment.
All of this comes amid a new Weekly Standard report  and Forbes report which outline the sheer magnitude of the cancellation notices now reaching homes coast to coast.

The U.S. individual health insurance market currently totals about 19 million people. Because the Obama administration’s regulations on grandfathering existing plans were so stringent about 85% of those, 16 million, are not grandfathered and must comply with Obamacare at their next renewal.

The rules are very complex. For example, if you had an individual plan in March of 2010 when the law was passed and you only increased the deductible from $1,000 to $1,500 in the years since, your plan has lost its grandfather status and it will no longer be available to you when it would have renewed in 2014.

These 16 million people are now receiving letters from their carriers saying they are losing their current coverage and must re-enroll in order to avoid a break in coverage and comply with the new health law’s benefit mandates––the vast majority by January 1. Most of these will be seeing some pretty big rate increases.  (link)

Townhall.com outlines even more about the incredible size of the bait and switch broken promise from President Obama: (more…)

(Via CNS News)  Americans who were recipients of means-tested government benefits in 2011 outnumbered year-round full-time workers, according to data released this month by the Census Bureau. The recipients also out-numbered the total population of the Philippines.

There were 108,592,000 people in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2011 who were recipients of one or more means-tested government benefit programs, the Census Bureau said in data released this week. Meanwhile, according to the Census Bureau, there were 101,716,000 people who worked full-time year round in 2011. That included both private-sector and government workers.
That means there were about 1.07 people getting some form of means-tested government benefit for every 1 person working full-time year round.  (read more)

Earlier this week conservative radio host Sean Hannity called the Obamacare hotline and spoke to an operator. The operator, Earline Davis, was honest and told Hannity nobody liked the website. The next day she was fired. He interviewed her for his TV show, and is “gifting” her a years’ salary and more:

Proof of Intent

I’ve been searching and waiting all day for CNN to post video and transcript of this exchange between Erin Burnett and Congressman Henry Waxman from last night 10/23/13.

Why?
Because Waxman accidentally outlined the TRUTH.    When he was questioned by Burnett about President Obama’s promise that everyone will be able to keep their health insurance, against the backdrop of hundreds of thousands of cancellations for private insurance being received, the question was:  “Is/Was the President being honest? (more…)

This should come as no surprise; it is, quite simply, only about the hundredth time people have reported on the aloof detachment of President Obama.   
Even Bob Woodward wrote an entire book in general about how disingenuous Dear Leader was/is toward fiscal policies, and more specifically his indifferent and bored outlook regarding negotiations with Congress that might actually involve work.  
Remember too, during the OBL kill/capture mission – Obama had to be dragged off the golf course; and then, according to Reggie Love, didn’t want to participate in the event preferring instead to play cards because his presence was required *near* the situation room.
(New York Times) With rebel forces in Syria in retreat and the Obama administration’s policy toward the war-ravaged country in disarray, Secretary of State John Kerry arrived at the White House Situation Room one day in June with a document bearing a warning. President Bashar al-Assad of Syria had used chemical weapons against his people, the document said, and if the United States did not “impose consequences,” Mr. Assad would see it as a “green light for continued CW use.” (more…)

The White House is feeding information about a possible extension for compliance with Obamacare  enrollment/purchase mandates.

However, the ever political Denis McDonough/Valerie Jarrett are hopelessly stuck in the political risk, and will not concede the word “delay” out of fear it will prove the GOP was right in their admonishments.     Yes, they are THAT petty….. Just watch…..

The open border crowd of leftists have long held the belief in a non sovereign global community.   This lies at the heart of their insufferable “it takes a village” beliefs, and their globalist efforts have long been at work in the petri-dish of European multi-cultural Marxism.
Multi-culturalism has failed miserably in their EU experiment, and nationalists are making a resounding, albeit mostly politically correct, comeback against the visible failure.
Here in U.S. the leftist progs hold the same disposition toward a united North American borderless continent.    Obfuscating illegal Mexican immigration into the United States lies at the core of their current approach.    A recent New York Daily News article exposes the rotten core of the Prog hypocrisy.  (actual headline)

Fleeing wrath of vicious cartels,  record-breaking numbers of Mexicans seek political asylum in the U.S.

Mexicans are running  from drug cartel horrors and seeking asylum in skyrocketing numbers. Refugees  tell the Daily News they ran for their lives for chance at safety in the U.S.,  where more than 23,000 Mexicans fled in the first nine months of 2013.
