Remember that bell curve that we see everywhere? Someone has to fill in the data points down at the left end. And Obama appears to be the one, as they say. Unfortunately, the myopic media was more concerned about his race than his ability to do the job, which is the definition of racism… yes, the very racism that they have been accusing us of.

Livefreenh, – You failed to put all those voting for this Incompetance on the Left side of the Bell Curve.. The present WH Incompetant will be GONE in Jan. 2013, BUT we will be stuck FOREVER with the Idiots who voted him into the US Presidency.. It takes Inteligent Thought to pick a good President.. The Election of this WH Incompetant proves & reveals more about the Ignorant Electorate than about the Man-child Obama.. Obama is Temporary, but the Electorate resides Permanantly at the Left of the Bell Curve..

Maybe had the media demanded to see his college transcripts instead of believing the myth that the man is a genius,

Starting sometime this summer (if not sooner), the MSM will publish some mea culpas, in which they admit they didn’t vet Obama as fully as they should have. They’ll promise to turn over a new leaf—at which time they’ll go after the GOP presidential candidates—especially the most promising ones—-with a vengeance that will make Sarah Palin’s treatment seem mild.

When we point out the double standard, the MSM will claim it’s “grown,” and learned from its past mistakes. They may even try to hide their smirks as they say it.

The question, Erick, is why Assange is still walking, period.

with Assange?

If he were to die, from any cause, or just disappear, the entire world would think we did it even if we did not. This would seem to provide plenty of cover for someone like the Russians to move in a spray him with,,,,,,,,, oh I dont know, ,,,,,,,maybe some polonium-210? But I guess they are having too much fun watching this. Which also probably explains why Assange doesnt leak Russian secrets. He knows that would be the end of him pretty quick.

Suing him is a farflung possibility. You first have to get jurisdiction over him. And he is probably careful about which states he steps foot into. Rendition is probably not a realistic option (does Obama even us this as a tool anymore?). He is not really a terrorist is he? Is information a weapon of terror? While it probably is for some individuals, it doesnt seem like this release was designed to terrorize average citizens.

There does seem to have been a political purpose — but I would have trouble articulating it exactly. Clearly, Assange intended to embarrass the US Govt, but whom? Bush or Obama? Neither or both? The CIA (their docs werent released, it was State’s). Furthermore, based on what I have been able to read so far — I do not see that the case has been made that the US Govt has been lying to everyone over everything. To the contrary, I see alot of consistentcy between public and private communication. What these docs have shown is only undiplomatic wording or unvarnished directness. OK, you got us on that, but so what?

Still, the worst part of this is that it may get some people killed. People who have tried to help us in the past. Perhaps are still doing so. These people have been exposed to all sorts of dangers. Even so, is this a crime in the US? Probably not if Assange were a US citizen.

So what does that leave? The acquisition or possession of classified documents? That got the actual leaker, we presume anyway. But is the publication of this info actually a crime, or is it protected speech? And, again, even if it is, how would the US legally get jurisdiciton over this guy.?

In a way, I like the leaks. It shows to everyone else that Obama is the stumbling fool, the right knew he was way back when he first started running for President. It also shows that Obama did not bring about peace on Earth, Goodwill to Man by simply being elected.

On the other hand, yes, it will get some people killed. It will damage our ability to conduct diplomatic relations for years because our diplomats will be assumed to be spies. If you think that little trick was all Obama’s idea, you believe that Clinton is more qualified to be President. She doesn’t have much more experience than he does.

Why did Assange leak this stuff? Not to hurt anyone. He likes the attention. Everyone is talking about him. Everyone knows who he is. Isn’t that great?

As for N. Korea, I am still waiting for something other than strong words. Guess he is too busy playing basketball, watching basketball and just generally living basketball to actually DO the job for which he was elected. I knew there was a reason I was morally opposed to basketball.

Absolutely. The array of nuclear centrifuges in North Korea that so surprised Americans had to have been supplied by China. Where else could they have come from? North Korea’s great universities? Uh huh. Everybody must know this, they just don’t want to say so.

Likewise with the missile defense shield. Who is that a defense against? Iran? C’mon. Korea? Doubt it. It is to protect against CHINESE missiles. We just don’t want to say so.

We don’t need to go to war with Chine, we simply need to stop buying stuff from them. We don’t need their junk, we can find other suppliers in Malaysia and Singapore. If we prohibited imports from China, Wal-Mart might have empty shelves for about a month until it found new suppliers.

Drudge had a link about all the “bit torrent” sites seized by DHS over the weekend.

Figures. DHS is busy worrying about copyright infringement, but not disclosure of state secrets.

This is like local police ignoring serial murder to go after petty thieves.

I admit it is a little refreshing to hear/read the bare truth about some of these issues. Like what the Arabs really think of the Iranians. Or that we seem pretty sure some ChiCom official was behind cyber attacks (this last one we should have published ourselves anyway IMO). Or even the humor, such as the Germans realizing we know more about them than they do.

However, what is neither refreshing nor humorous is the fact that the lives of friendly assets have been put at risk. This is not good for them, or for us in the future as these courageous types will become stop giving us info if we cannot protect their identities. To me, this is the part we simply cannot allow to continue.

Ain’t this what we pay the CIA FOR…?

… than we can about Obama’s grades?

We should get Julian Assange to leak information about Obama.

I’d like to see his college transcripts, and how his tuition was paid at these elite universities he attended, and just for the heck of it, throw in his birth certificate.

That kind of stuff.

Why can’t Wikileaks get this stuff?

…because he is undeniably an enemy of the State. However, it is somewhat educational to see the Obama Administration’s response to what amounts to a TSA full body scan of their own private parts.

Violation of privacy is okay for thee, but not for me?

The leaks will doubtless cost some people their lives (Assange not among them, knowing the current administration) but I haven’t heard anything so far that is very surprising. Most of it seems to be the sort of information that everybody knows, but nobody publicly talks about. Diplomatically, it’s more a breach of etiquette than a revelation.

US diplomats perform low-level spying at the U.N.: excellent, I’d be disappointed if they didn’t. Karzai is an unpredictable egotist: anyone reading the newspapers could see that. The Saudis would like to see the Iranian nuke program bombed: of course they would. Etc, etc…

Some foreign governments will pretend to be shocked at the secrets that were revealed, and use the incident to try to extract some minor concessions from the U.S., but in general I suspect most of the information consisted of things they already knew, and that we knew they knew, but that both sides pretended were truly secret.

After being a reader for awhile and not joining in with my thoughts I can no longer sit out. All of the past events have lead me to believe that we as Americans can no long Blog about what needs to be done and how it will be different after the election etc. but as I read the headlines nothing has changed in the political arena!! The elected officials still do what THEY want and leave us to complain on sites like these with little results! It’s time to take action of some sort. I am not an intelligent man but grew up in an era that taught me that after taking it on the chin for so long it was time to strike back in a manner that caused those who inflicted the knocks to take notice. Voting is not causing this and a more drastic effect needs to be put forth.
Maybe some of the readers here who know law and other avenues to use can explain but in my mind since these elected official go against the Constitution and basicly break the law of the land why can we as citizens no make a citizens arrest on these people and start taking actions that have an effect? If we would gather in force, much like the Glen Beck rally did, and demand an audience with Congress and the House I think that we would have more of an effect than what is currently going on. Just my thoughts.

Let’s no kid ourselves, our allies are for the most part Third World hellholes and Arab dictators. If they don’t like our president, that only makes me like him more. Let’s not forget what tons of our “European allies” were saying about Bush and fat Americans for eight years.

Woe. It appears that dialogue with United States’ enemies simply isn’t working! (Surprise, surprise.) While Obama and his — shall we say minions? — were jet-setting around the globe, North Korea was prepping its attack on South Korea. “Mr. WikiLeak” was gettiing ready for super spill. China — perhaps? — was aiming missiles at the West Coast. Gee, could it be that Mr. Obama doesn’t treasure dialogue at all? That he knew as well as he knows where his backside is — for kicking — that it wouldn’t work? And didn’t care? That his goal for the United States of America is accomplished with propaganda and other instruments from that toolbox? Perhaps he uses “dialogue” simply to buy time. His brand of jargon might be tailored after that the enemies of Israel have successfully used against that little nation for decades — with assistance from Bill Clinton and other “peace-prize candidates.”

What type of Presidency Obama would have when Michelle came out wearing that Black Widow Spider dress.

He will be known as the Inane and Trite president in the history books
