Reporter: Saudi King Abdullah "Couldn't Stand" Obama
NBC reporter Richard Engle shot down the various claims emanating from both DC and Riyadh that the two men were close friends:"One of the big ironies here is that President Obama, in his statement, said how close he was to King Abdullah... King Abdullah did not like President Obama. In fact, a lot of people I know that are quite close to the late King Abdullah said that the king could not stand President Obama. This close personal bond between the president and the late Saudi leader, I think, is people being polite at a time of a national funeral."Of course, our Cool Guy President also decided to upset India with his Nicorette-chewing, while in audience with India's PM.
"In an ungainly sight, cameras caught US President Brack Obama chewing gum during the Republic Day parade on Monday. In the picture captured by cameras and posted on Twitter by some users, Obama was spotted removing his chewing gum while PM Modi was seen trying to explain something to the US president," reports the Times of India.This #SmartDiplomacy doesn't seem to be working. Maybe because the asshole authoring it isn't that smart.

You're making the same mistake most analysts make.
You assume Obama;s actions are meant to benefit the US. And when he does something that hurts America, you assumed he has failed.
Your assumptions are incorrect. Obama is smart and he's getting everything he wants implemented, both domestically and foreign policy. All his supposed failures, are victories, when you look at it through the appropriate socialist/communist/anti-American lens.

But there's no one on the White House staff, not one person, who thinks chewing gum is bad form during high-level diplomatic meetings and gets a patch instead of the gum?
No one who says an iPod with his speeches is a classless gift? No one who checks the region on DVD's given to a Prime Minister on a different continent?
It's the most monumentally stupid staff either unwilling or unable to prevent him, and us by extension, from looking like a classless douchebag.

Why are the democrats unwilling to admit that our president is ridiculously, incredibly tacky? Isometimeswonder if they just refuse to notice or if they are so much into the hero worship that they think even gum chewing in a formal situation is cool. He has no deftness for dealing with foreign dignitaries, and if he has a protocol office he ignores them unless they tell him to spend a lot of money on a fancy white house dinner.
Also, they say it's nicorette but am I the only one who thinks he's probably just chewing regular gum to get rid of his cigarette breath?

And Lauren it's much worse than no opposition party, though that is important and correct. There are no institutions, no guard rails, any more. SCOTUS and O-care, the perfect example. Not only ridiculous "substance" in their ruling, but the backdrop was an unprecedented, degrading, Third World bit of mau-mau-ing of the court by the president himself. Still stunned when I think about it. Not just the historically bad SOTU comment, but public mau-mau-ing leading up to Roberts' beclownment.
Yes, he's ridiculously unfit, and a disaster (as anyone with a clue could tell from the outset). But the whole landscape is a disaster. Otherwise you'd never have heard of him.

I recently saw a 100+ page Request for Proposals for a large contract, and it was full of nonsense that added nothing to the project where the contractor had to document Women's Empowerment and LGBT goals. USAID may be the worst of all, because it is where the State Department sends the lower third of performers for career death. I really cannot understate just how bad it is.

I don't know about liking him but there are a whole lot of people who love him. Maybe worship or adore is a better word. There are a significant fraction of the population who have an awful lot of emotion invested in Obama and they react very badly to criticism of him. I personally don't understand it because he always struck me as a huckster who make a lot of promises that he could not possibly keep but while he may not be a good President, he seems to be an excellent conman.

I've mentioned this before (so apologies for the repeat): heard via the mother of a longtime Hillary aide that Hillary brought over 70 people with her to the State Dept. That is unprecedented. Usually, the Sec of State may bring a few aides, but most State employees remain in place from one administration to the next. And apparently a lot of these Hillary peeps stayed on after she left, now working for Kerry.
While the longtime State employees are liberals, they're at least experienced in foreign policy, unlike Hillary's entourage who were and have always been about Hillary! I'm guessing they're at least part of the reason we're getting blunders like sending James Taylor to France (because *someone* should have noted what a stupid idea it was before it got past the initial brainstorming meeting).

1L grading is blind, by student number on blue books. Most of the minorities fall into the bottom of the class after that, and then many of them take classes designed for minorities to do well to bolster their grades. While hard chargers are taking Antitrust, Corporate Tax and other "black letter" classes that will get them jobs after graduation, the folks in the bottom of the class are taking "Sports and the Law" and other such nonsense (often taught by affirmative action professors).

Seriously- I think this is the real thought behind not producing his birth certificate (until that issue really started gaining a little steam), and other picayune crap. He believes that "I shouldn't have to do that," and "Who are YOU to question ME?"
So he doesn't release this stuff out of a sense of entitlement and ego. We do know his grades probably weren't stellar, but I doubt they were crap (for AA reasons, if nothing else). So the only reason not to show them is 8th Grade Mean Girl "because you asked to see them."

Still want to know how Michelle lost her law license.
Yes, I know they all say that she "surrendered" her license because she wasn't going to use it, but come on. Bill Clinton made sure that he didn't lose his, and he was President of the United States, and there was no way in hell that he was going to voluntarily give it up.
I still believe she got busted dipping into clients money, and instead of destroying his career, the local/state bar just quietly let her firm pay everyone back, she was given a job at the hospital so that she could "repay" the firm, and she surrendered her license so that there would be no paper trail.
One does not surrender a license that is difficult to obtain "just because".

The details remained vague, and it was unclear whether the understanding would convince American companies, such as GE and Westinghouse, to invest in India's civilian nuclear development. The companies had pressed India to rewrite its liability law, which Sunday's understanding did not call for, and so they will have to judge whether it is enough to resolve their legal concerns. But the fact that both governments were willing to dispense with a dispute that has frustrated them since 2010 underscored the mutual desire to reinvent the relationship.

I knew what a petty, vicious, de classe person he was when he pulled that grade school middle finger scrathing his cheek move with Hillary. He did it a few times after.
And let's not forget that once the media realized how classless this piece of dung is, they've been censoring any other stupid and crass moves on his part ever since.
We have no idea what other stuff he's pulled unless a foreign newspaper sees it and reports it.
We really, really, really have to do something about the press.

Luck has nothing to do with it. He had downfield blocking by the Party. As but one example, notice how Ayers keeps popping up in his life. For no obvious reason, Obama ups stakes and moves to Columbia (despite being, by his own admission, a mediocre student at Occidental) where Ayers was at the same time. They work on the same anti-apartheid movement, living three blocks apart, then both move to Chicago, where they live near each other again, and where Ayers appoints him to the board of the Annenberg Challenge, and where Ayers' wife (terrorist Bernadine Dohrn) introduces Obama to his Party-selected wife to be.
C'mon, that's a helluva lot of coincidences.
Then look at the book contracts. A publishing house OFFERS Obama a contract, and pays him an advance, based on his having been a law student. WTF? Most authors would give their left nut to get a contract.
But he can't deliver a MS, and has to return the advance. Then another publisher offers him a SECOND contract, and he turns out a lyrical masterpiece. It stinks. It stinks as badly as Hillary's one-off coup in the commodities market.

460 452 So is anyone rooting for the Patriots this weekend or has the entire country turned on them? These two teams are my least favorite 2 teams in the entire NFL. I'm rooting for SMOD to make the Stupid Bowl a moot point. (My hatred for Seattle is a Marshawn Lynch thang. Unless you're a Bills fan, you wouldn't understand.)

Honestly before deflategate I was thinking this might actually break the streak of increasing ratings on the Superbowl. The teams just lack story/personality. Russell Wilson is competent but bland. Pete Carrol has too much laid back personality. The defense is good but again doesn't really seem to have that much personality.
And then there are the Patriots that basically have the personality of their coach. Unlikable prick.

Funny story - was just there recently, by the Aquarium, and noticed 'something' floating in the water, with a jacket on it - turns out, someone had a sense of humor, and put a SEIU t-shirt on a bag of trash...

If the answer you are looking for is "Israel", then probably not.
House of Saud isn't the biggest fan of Israel, but they do see eye to eye on lots of issues, and they have a pretty good back door diplomacy. If Israel wanted to fly over Saudi Arabia tomorrow to take out Iran's nukes, the Sauds would be very very late to scramble their fighters and AA batteries.
The only other enemy would be Christianity, and I could see them agreeing on that.
Sort of related, now that Abdullah is dead, we sure as hell will be seeing cheap oil for the next 5 years since his heir is gonna have to grease a lot of oil ticks palms to keep in power while he is consolidating his power.

He's a loud-mouthed agitator who's gotten a lifetime of free passes based on his skin color, his glib tongue, and his absolute lack of morals.
I really wish every person here would spend a couple of hours reading up on malignant narcissism. Do this and you'll understand this clown perfectly.
He's incapable of doing anything but destroying everything and everyone around him. That's what malignant narcissists do. It's who they are.
They do incredible damage, even more than a sociopath. Literally, nothing good can or will come from putting a malignant narcissist in a position of power.

You are spot on. Pull up the You Tube videos of Sam Vaknin on narcissistic supply.....you will be astonished. It could be a case study of ValJar and Barky. I listened to all his work one weekend. Fascinating!

Yeah, it's hard not to connect the dots on either Obama's career being orchestrated by someone else or Hillary's amazing talent in the commodities markets . discoverthenetworks.com is a useful tool for dot connecting, and Horowitz has done us a service. I hope it can be maintained.

"This #SmartDiplomacy doesn't seem to be working. Maybe because the asshole authoring it isn't that smart."
Though, to his credit,the presumption is that he is smart, and they are dumb. However, he is not that smart, and they are not that dumb. He'ssmart(ish), but so are they.
He is finding that the 8th grade mean girls approach to diplomacy doesn't really work. You can't give Saudi Arabia an eating disorder.

dollars of waste, fraud and abuse that were going to be weeded out to
help pay for the whole Obamacare fiasco and make it show a net defift
reduction? So, how many hundreds of billions have been identified? Or
is it just tens of billions Maybe 5 billion? OK, how about 1 billion?
Nothing.
Zero. There have not been any savings announced or identified from
elimination of waste, fraud and abuse. Of course, the MSM lapdogs have
managed to completely forget the whole lie that was endlessly repeted by
them to the whole country.

I think that those who think Obama is an evil genius secretly destroying America give him way to much credit.
I don't doubt any more that we wants to take down the U.S. I just think his method has always been simply to ignore problems as they spin out of control by spending most of his time on the golf course.
Well, that, and telling government agencies like the IRS, DOJ, and EPA to "go sic' 'em!"
