The President’s Kill List
May 30, 2012
Posted by Amy Davidson
What is wrong with the President sitting in a room, looking at lists and portraits of people—a Somali man, a seventeen-year-old girl, an American citizen—and deciding whom to kill? That, according to long and troubling articles in both the Times and Newsweek, is a job Barack Obama has assigned himself. His aides, notably John Brennan, his counter-terrorism adviser, portray it as a matter of taking responsibility—if we are going to assassinate someone, or call in a drone strike to take out a camp in Yemen, the President should make the call—as if our only alternative were some sort of rogue operation, with generals or C.I.A. agents shooting at will. But responsibility involves accountability, which is something, in this case, that appears to be badly lacking. Obama has not taken on a burden, but instead has given the Presidency a novel power.
The “kill list” story is a reminder of how much language matters, and how dangerous it is when the plain meaning of a word is ignored.

Zombie Attacks Undermining Gun Grabbing Efforts?
Will the recent rash of "Zombie" (crazed people craving human flesh and or brains) attacks put a damper on gun control efforts?
It's one thing to theoretically think that people shouldn't be allowed to have guns but quite another to be faced with a guy twice your size that want's to chew your face off.
I think even the most avid supporters of gun control would want a gun in that situation. (Though it would seem like sweet justice if they could not obtain one until after a three day waiting period.)
I'm not saying that Zombie attacks will change anyone's mind on American's right to keep and bear arms, but it would be hard to blame someone who suddenly switched sides on the gun control issue and embraced the second amendment.

NY Times Confirms What WHI Said Long Ago – “Obama Loves Blowing The Hell Out Of People.”
by Ulsterman on May 29, 2012 with 12 Comments in News
“He gets off on it.” -WHI
The only thing Obama has taken a real interest in are the drones. Apparently he loves those drone attacks. Thinks they’re cool – how they fly in and just blow the sh-t out of people. No fuss. No muss. President Obama gets off on it. The same guy who was so concerned with giving those GITMO fellas a nice citizen trial because he was concerned with their rights – he loves blowing the hell out of people. A real power trip for him apparently. So much so the military brass are becoming increasingly uneasy. -White House Insider: October, 2011

WHITE HOUSE INSIDER: Obama In Serious Trouble – And That Makes Him Very Dangerous
by Ulsterman on May 30, 2012 with 220 Comments in News
“He owes them for everything. Everything he’s got – they gave to him. Everything. The guy’s Manchurian to the shoes on his feet.” -WHI
Note: For the past two years we have been receiving information from a longtime Democratic Party operative who has worked at the highest levels of American politics -including direct access to presidential administrations. Once closely allied to the Clinton machine, and then later playing a significant role in helping to elect Barack Obama in 2008, this individual came to realize just how inept and dangerous was the then-newly elected President Obama and his circle of closest advisers, namely Valerie Jarrett. Since that time this insider has time and again shared information that has later proven accurate, including rampant White House infighting, re-election strategies, Obama’s strained relationship with Democrats in Congress and the U.S. military, and more personal details specific to Barack Obama the man – a figure who suffers from emotional extremes including depression and who spends far more time in his second floor White House study than he does working in the Oval Office as President of the United States.
Here now is Part One of our most recent face to face interview with White House Insider…
______________________
UM: We agreed to a series of word associations to start this off. You still ok with that?
WHI: Sure – yeah. Fire away.
UM: Mitt Romney.
WHI: The next President of the United States. He better be – or…or people don’t know – they don’t realize how bad – how dangerous things will get. And fast.
UM: Hillary Clinton
WHI: Don’t trust her. Never have. I used to respect her…I still want to…Hope she proves herself – hope she does the right thing and stays the f-ck away from this administration when she leaves. IF she leaves.
UM: Bill Clinton
WHI: (Long Pause)
…..Disappointment. But he might surprise us yet. He…he could be playing this about right. Maybe. He’s still got game, but word is…he gets tired fast. Ain’t got the focus…I’d still count him as a friend though. Yeah – I would.
UM: -Name Deleted- (Wall Street Insider)
WHI: God bless him. And I mean that. What he’s going through…tough little son-of-a-b-tch. I’ve come to love that man. He still scares the sh-t out of me too. But man oh man…no way we could have kept at this without him. He’s pushed this-this…whatever we call what we’ve been doing here…he’s legitimized it. Protected it. Protected us. I don’t know if you’ll ever know how much…he don’t talk about it…but I know. I’m seeing things in the news everyday now – just about everyday…I read the headline and smile. It’s him. He’s doing it. Will it be enough? (shrugs) Maybe. Maybe not. But g-dammit I’m sure as hell grateful we got him on our side.
UM: Valerie Jarrett
