Obama Submits	If there was any doubt about who and what Obama is, this photograph ends that doubt, as the usurper humbles himself before King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. (video) This disgraceful. An American should stand erect and polite, and shake hands like a free man. No American should ever show ANY deference to ANY monarch. No monarch, including Elizabeth, have 1% of the legitimacy of of an American president. They don' t even come close. Remember, King Abdullah's Saudi regime spends billions of dollars each year promoting Wahhabism, one of fundamentalist Islam's most extreme movements. Fifteen of the 9-11 terrorists were Saudi Wahabbis. Al-Qaeda represents Wahhabism in its purest form -- a violent fundamentalist doctrine that rejects all non-Wahhabi Islam, especially the spiritual forms of Islam. Wahhabism is an expansionist sect intolerant of Shi‘ite Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and Hinduism; in fact, Wahhabists seek to challenge and destroy these faiths. The Saudi-Wahhabi threat must not be underestimated Shame on Obama -- the clearest signal yet that he is indeed a bogus POTUS -- and probably a closet Muslim. 85% of all human communication is non-verbal and this vulgar display will tell the entire Muslim world, the Ummah, who and what is occupying the Oval Office. Oddly, on Monday, September 12, 2005, the LA Times reported that the new Saudi king has ordered citizens not to kiss his hand, saying the traditional gesture of respect is degrading and violates Islam. "Kissing hands is alien to our values and morals, and is not accepted by free and noble souls," Abdullah told a delegation from Baha, in southwest Saudi Arabia, which came to the royal palace to offer congratulations on his accession. "It also leads to bowing, which is a violation of God’s law. The faithful bow to no one but God." You got that Obama, not only did you offend all real Americans, you offended Allah, too. This will certainly make Obama the laughingstock of the G20, if not all of the Western Hemisphere. Update: As of Friday morning, I have been unable to find this photo in a single mainstream media source -- not one. If any of you do see this reported in the mainstream media, I would be interested in knowing about it. I would also be interested in learning if anyone has ever seen Obama publicly bow and bend his knee when meeting someone prior to this? The Washington Times, a conservative-leaning newspaper, finally addresses Obama dhimmitude, 5 days after the fact -- and doesn't publish the photo or link to the video.
Obama Goes All-In	The United States and its allies are in danger of losing the war in Afghanistan. The level of violence has risen steadily over the past seven years, the Taliban are in control of large portions of the countryside, insurgent elements operate with near impunity from safe havens in Pakistan, the Karzai government is corrupt and ineffective, and many NATO member states are proving to be more of a hindrance than a help due to national caveats that restrict the types of operations their troops can participate in and declining public support that prevents the dispatch of additional combat forces to fight Taliban and al Qaeda militants. It was with these realities in mind that the United States unveiled last week its new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, a comprehensive approach with a mission clearly stated by President Obama: "to disrupt, dismantle and defeat al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and to prevent their return to either country in the future." By putting the full weight of the U.S. government behind the new strategy, Obama has decided to go "all in" in an effort to turn this war around. The real question, though, is whether the United States has the stomach to see this fight through beyond an immediate push and through to a successful conclusion. The U.S. strategy has six main elements: an increase in aid to Pakistan, a surge of military forces to Afghanistan, an accelerated training program for Afghan security forces, a reconciliation plan for moderate insurgents, an increase in civilian support to Afghanistan, and a regional diplomatic push to get neighboring states to take more responsibility for Afghanistan’s future.

Obama Milks Military To Offset Domestic Spending	Obama's strategy for obtaining deep cuts in Pentagon weapons buying has emerged: squeeze the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps to pick up more war costs in Iraq and Afghanistan, forcing them to forego new planes, ships and vehicles. Obama's 2010 budget outline now being debated in Congress provides $130 billion to fund the two wars. But that is $11 billion less than this year at a time when 17,000 new troops are moving to Afghanistan and when savings from a phased withdrawal from Iraq are unclear. Added to this scenario is the fact that 2010 will be the last year of a separate war budget, or supplemental, as it is known. So the four branches will have to absorb even more war costs in the so-called "out years." An analysis by Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee reveals the four military branches will be forced to make up a $141 billion shortfall over two years. The White House needs to milk the military to help offset soaring domestic spending that will create trillion-dollar annual deficits. The crunch can only have one result: deep cuts in programs. "They are really setting the stage to drop the hammer in 2011 and 2012," said James Jay Carafano, a military analyst at the Heritage Foundation. "And at the same time what they're trying to do is basically come up with the rhetoric to just disguise this as just good government." The military will eventually suffer combat readiness problems as it did under Democratic presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, who both inflicted deep wounds in defense spending.
A Clear And Present Danger	Judd Gregg sounds particularly tough in ripping into President Barack Obama's proposed budget, saying, "this budget ... represents a clear and present danger to the financial health of our country." Gregg says, "This plan spends too much, taxes too much, borrows too much. There isn't much we can do to stop it," noting Democrats have the votes to defeat amendments and pass the bill with a simple majority. "I don't think we can do much but expose it for what it is -- which is a massive expansion of debt, an unsustainable level of spending and a deficit-generating machine that will bankrupt the country," he said. "Hopefully, we can build some public awareness at just which direction this government is taking us."
Obama Is Keeping Score	Don't think we're not keeping score, brother." That's what Obama said to Rep. Peter DeFazio in a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus last week, according to the Associated Press. A few weeks ago, Mr. DeFazio voted against the administration's stimulus bill. The comment from Obama was a presidential rebuke and part of a new, hard-nosed push by the White House to pressure Congress to adopt the president's budget. He has mobilized outside groups and enlisted forces still in place from the Obama campaign. Senior presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett and her chief of staff, Michael Strautmanis, are in regular contact with MoveOn.Org, Americans United for Change and other liberal interest groups. Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina has collaborated with Americans United for Change on strategy and even ad copy. Jarrett invited leaders of the liberal interest groups to a White House social event with Obama and Michelle to kick off the lobbying campaign. Its targets were initially Republicans, as team Obama ran ads depicting the GOP as the "party of no," but now the fire is being trained on Democrats worried about runaway spending. Americans United is going after Democrats who are skeptical of Obama's plans to double the national debt in five years and nearly triple it in 10. The White House is taking aim at lawmakers in 12 states, including Democratic Sens. Kent Conrad, Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor. MoveOn.Org is running ads aimed at 10 moderate Senate and House Democrats, and robocalls are urging voters in key districts to pressure their congressman to get in line. Members of Congress should also worry about how Obama is "keeping score." He is steeped in the ways of Chicago politics and has not forgotten his training in the methods once used by Saul Alinsky, the radical Chicago community organizer. Alinsky's 1971 book, "Rules for Radicals," is a favorite of the Obamas. Michele Obama quoted from it at the Democratic Convention. One Alinsky tactic is to "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." That's what the White House did in targeting Rush Limbaugh, Rick Santelli and Jim Cramer. (Robert Gibbs, went so far as to lash all three from the White House press podium.) It may also explain Obama's comments to Mr. DeFazio. After all, Alinsky's first rule of "power tactics" is "power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have." Team Obama wants to remind its adversaries it has plenty of power, and it does. The question is whether the White House will wield it responsibly. The jury is still out, but certain clues are beginning to emerge. "Don't think we're not keeping score, brother," even if said with a wink and a smile, isn't quite the "new politics" we were told to expect.
H.R. 40	H.R. 40 is a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives to create a commission to study reparation proposals for African-Americans. The bill is to acknowledge the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865 and to establish a commission to examine the institution of slavery, subsequently de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African-Americans, and the impact of these forces on living African-Americans, to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies, and for other purposes. It should be no surprise, that its sponsor is Rep. John Conyers, Democrat from Michigan -- and he has an ally in the White House. In this transcript of a 2001 radio interview, Obama advocates redistribution as reparations for slavery and other injustices towards "previously dispossessed peoples." He said, "the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society. And to that extent as radical as people tried to characterize the Warren court, it wasn’t that radical." "It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as it’s been interpreted, and the Warren court interpreted it in the same way that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can’t do to you, it says what the federal government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf. And that hasn’t shifted." "One of the, I think tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court focused, I think that there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributed change and in some ways we still suffer from that." In ObamaWorld, a terrorist attack is a "man caused disaster" and reparations are called a "stimulus package."
No Word From The White House	This March 29th item tells of actor Bob Basso, who has two runaway successful YouTube videos, being summoned to the White House "to discuss the disturbing nature of the videos." In a statement released by Basso's associate, he said he had not yet been informed when he should appear at the White House. Jesse Edwards, a Jerry Doyle Show producer, said it appears that when the "invitation" became public, the White House has let the issue drop. "We went on the air with it. Now he hasn't heard anything."
