Asia trip gives Obama
opportunity to build legacy

Associated Press, by Julie Pace

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 11/17/2012 11:03:41 AM

YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan- For President Barack Obama, expanding U.S. influence in Asia is more than just countering China or opening up new markets to American businesses. It´s also about building his legacy. Fresh off re-election, Obama will make a significant investment in that effort during a quick run through Southeast Asia that begins Sunday. In addition to stops in Thailand and Cambodia, the president will make an historic visit to Myanmar, where his administration has led efforts to ease the once pariah nation out of international isolation. The trip marks Obama´s fourth visit to Asia

Obama´s legacy:

Lost Egypt

Lost Iraq

Lost Afghanistan

Lost Israel

Watched while Iran developed and used nuclear weapons.

Waited to long to save Israel

Encouraged turning over the middle east to islamic extremist

Engineered the financial collapse of the United States

Ceded military superiority to China

Incurred more debt than all previous presidents before him ensuring that future children become slaves to and wards of the state.

Part of Obama´s "success" [that is, how he manages to continue his destruction of America and our values] is demonstrated by this article. It is a problem with two main aspects, at least one of which we must get past in order to stop him.

These two aspects are: 1. politicians treating Obama as "another politician´; work with him, reach out, compromise, give a little, take a little -- that´s all nonsense! Obama is the enemy, by choice, and well-demonstrated. 2. media who likewise treat Obama as "a President." Like the other ones. But a little different. Maybe. But it´s assumed by idiots like this article´s author and editors that Obama´s actions, and the motives for them, are no different from what another President´s might be. No hint that it´s ever thought [or better, noticed and exposed!] that Obama has a hateful hate-filled, wholly-destructive agenda being installed everywhere he can make the least inroad.

Re the media, this thought applies: if you´re not part of the solution, you´re part of the problem.

Nothing Obama tries will work and much of it will prove counter-productive. He and people like him -"progressives," Leftists, Democrats, news people, entertainers, financial and currency speculators who have struck it rich, children and ignoramuses in general- do not understand how the world works and how people -including themselves- actually think and behave. They think they do, but they do not. They have most of it exactly backwards. Their plans never work and always cause additional problems because they are founded upon a mistaken set of assumptions about reality which for some reason they are unable or unwilling to correct. They prefer fantasies that do not work to reality as it presents itself to be dealt with.

Obama might as well stay home. Other than photo-ops he is wasting his time. No foreign leader worth his salt would take a fool like Obama seriously. They will tell him what he wants to hear, make him think he has made great progress, and then go right ahead and do whatever they consider needs doing.

Americans are in for some painful and dangerous lessons in Obama´s second term. People are going to get hurt, very likely killed. His administration has established nearly all of the conditions needed for major outbreaks of violence in the Middle East. Full scale war is by no means unlikely. Attacks on America and American interests are a virtual certainty, all because of the Obama administration´s total misunderstanding of how the world really works. The silver lining to the coming cloud of catastrophes is that perhaps some, though not all Americans will learn from them and not make the mistake of putting people like Obama in charge of important matters.

Tell me again why Obama is going to Asia. Don´t we have more pressing issues at home, like the fiscal cliff and our dead citizens from Libya?

PS Tell the citizens of Asian countries to hide their women and children. The Secret Service is coming to town and they are going to want to party like it is 1999.
Also, make sure you see the cash first. BTW you´re welcome.

As for Obama, I hope he doesn´t bow to foreign leaders, like he did last time.

Obama faces choice on
morning-after pill limits

WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks. A federal judge in New York on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception, ending the requirement that buyers show proof they’re 17 or older if they want to buy it without a prescription. The ruling accused the Obama administration in no uncertain terms of letting the president’s pending re-election cloud its judgment when it

GOP Must Stop ´My Way or the

Projecting madly, the White House on Sunday pushed the notion that Republican intransigence is the reason that Democrats have been unable to pass a budget during President Obama’s tenure. “Right now,” said senior White House advisor Dan Pfeiffer on Fox News Sunday, “the approach of many Republicans, particularly the leadership in the House, is my way or the highway.” This is certainly rich coming from an administration that has failed to garner a single “yes” vote on its budget proposals for the past several years, even from members of its own party.

WASHINGTON — President Obama went out for a round of golf Saturday afternoon, his second weekend in a row to hit the links at a course at Joint Base Andrews. The president golfed with White House aides Marvin Nicholson, Joe Paulsen, and Michael Brush. Last Saturday, the president played golf at the same course with Nicholson, Brush, and friend and Chicago businessman Marty Nesbitt. The outing marked his first time on the golf course since the sequester cuts went into place on March 1. The president also took in the Syracuse-Marquette NCAA tournament basketball game

No doubt there are parents who have frank, frequent, open and easy discussions with their teens about sex. I’ve never met any. I do know parents, however, who were stunned to find their 15-year-old’s birth control pills in her pocketbook. Or who came home early to discover junior and a girl they’d never met frantically buttoning up. Or who found out — when their children were grown — what really went on when Meghan said she was sleeping over at Ashley’s. Such sobering tales of teens snookering mom and dad caused mixed emotions in me — a solidly pro-choice

Last fall, Ginnette Powell traveled from her home in Boston´s Dorchester section to her old middle school in South Boston - a journey of just two miles, but one that covered a huge emotional distance. Finally, she was able to leave the painful past behind. Powell endured the explosive battle over desegregation in Boston in the 1970s. Tears come to her eyes when she talks about how it took her decades to return to the place where she never felt safe as an African-American seventh-grader."It was scary because of what you were going into, getting bricks thrown at your bus.

Is that? Is that?’” Adams recalled during an oral history interview. She knew, of course, what “that” meant. “That” was where Kennedy had been shot.

They’re big. They’re ugly. They’re noisy. And they’re coming. So get ready. The blockbuster brood of the periodical cicada, large insects that emerge en masse from the ground in 17-year intervals across the northeast, is on its way — and New York City’s largest public radio station is encouraging residents in Central Jersey and beyond to help track the invasion. “The whole idea came from our news director, Jim (Schachter, of Summit), who lives in New Jersey — he promised his wife that they would move from their home before the 17-year cicadas came back,”

Antonacci soon texted his friend Mike Pineda to help him deal with her. Both men had sex with her that night. But what distinguished May 8, 2009,

"She was everything a foreign service officer should be: smart, capable, eager to serve, and deeply committed to our country and the difference she was making for the Afghan people," Kerry said of the slain official.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
