Obumble And The Press: Clueless Together

Wizbang

As tortuous as it is to listen to Obama speak, force yourself to watch this video of his latest press conference:

When the White House press corp lap dogs were finally allowed to ask questions, he went from being a well rehearsed, well prepared speaker to what can only be described as a man with a severe speech impediment.  His answers were incoherent at times, his tone monotonous, delivered in a slow, broken, constipated cadence.  Without his teleprompters, his ability to speak fluidly is lost.

Gunwalker: Smoking Gun Email?

Pajamas Media

PJM’s Bob Owens has long speculated that the primary reason for Operation Fast and Furious was to perpetuate the lie that  90 percent of illegal firearms in Mexico were from the United States.

Owens’ assertion was buoyed on Wednesday by internal ATF emailsobtained by Townhall.com. One email reads:

The Soft Dictatorship

American Thinker

Imagine a hypothetical country where small groups of unelected individuals can make law by simply sitting around a conference table deciding they want a new law, even if that law violates the constitution.  Those unelected representatives could only be dismissed by the executive power and could essentially do whatever they wanted.  Furthermore, imagine if the citizens of that country were not allowed to contest these decisions in court because they didn’t have “standing” to do so.

Ground Zero Mosque a Go

Although backers of a mosque planned to be built steps away from Ground Zero still need millions of dollars to break ground, the legal system has given radical Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf the go-ahead to build:

Obama’s Tear-Jerking Story About His Uninsured Dying Mother was a Lie

Despite our political and philosophical differences, one of the most touching and humanizing aspects of Barack Obama was his mother’s tragic death of uterine and ovarian cancer in 1995. Obama frequently stated his self-employed mother spent her last days frantic, desperately trying to assure the insurance industry would not deny her coverage, instead of resting and preparing to meet her Maker (Whom she apparently did not believe in). As it turns out, the entire story was, at best, greatly exaggerated and at worst calculated fabrication. Unlike so many of the president’s scandals, this lie has been reported not simply in conservative outlets like The Washington Examiner and The Blaze but in major Establishment media sources like Politico, and the New York Times.
