Obama Does “Victory” Laps, But Refuses to Halt Proceedings Against CIA Interogators
Just like a hypocrite, isn’t it? It is clear that the intel that ultimately led us to bin Laden’s hideout was gained because of the waterboarding technique used against three captured terrorist suspects a number of years ago (at least three, prior to the beginning of Mr. Obama’s term as president). Yet, when push comes to shove and even though he said he would not pursue charges against the CIA operatives involved in the waterboarding technique, he now says he will not ask the DOJ to stop their pursuit.
While Mr. Obama has spent the past few days doing victory laps and turning 306s in the parking lot, the CIA operatives who used the waterboarding techniqes against the terrorists have been charged or harassed by the “Justice” Department officials and interestingly enough, many of those individuals were part of the Bush administration.
Back in 2009, Mr. Obama promised that he was not going to go after the CIA operatives who were involved in waterboarding techniques and the Justice Department stated that they would provide legal representation in case anyone else wanted to go after them. [1]
However, numerous CIA employees were subjected to harassment by Eric Holder’s DOJ. “John Yoo and Jay Bybee were put through hell on charges that they sanctioned “enhanced interrogation” tactics. Eric Holder issued a 261 page report claiming that DOJ attorney John Yoo committed “intentional professional misconduct,” when he wrote an opinion for Bush about “enhanced interrogation” techniques,” basically charging that Yoo lied when giving advice to G.W. The DOJ recommended disciplinary action against Yoo from the Pennsylvania Bar in 2009. DOJ attorney David Margolis countermanded the recommended referral in January 2010 – saying he did not find “professional misconduct.”
“From November 2001 to March 2003, attorney Jay Bybee served as Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) in the DOJ. Bybee was asked by the CIA if they could legally, aggressively interrogate high-ranking al-Qaeda members captured outside of the U.S. – attempting to have a definition of the term “torture” in 18 U.S.C.Source.
“Bybee signed that legal memorandum which defined “enhanced interrogation techniques” in ways that are regarded as torture by the Obama Justice Department…Again the DOJ went after Bybee as they have Yoo. Bybee was acquitted and was later confirmed via Bush’s nomination to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Both men are facing war crimes charges in Spain and other European countries. BUT the DOJ is likely still unhappy, but because of these two men, Osama bin Laden is dead.” [2]
Recently, Debra Burlingame approached Mr. Obama at the 9/11 event in which he laid a wreath. She asked him that since the CIA operatives three years ago had really gotten the information (through waterboarding) that ultimately led to the discovery of bin Laden, would he be willing to offer his opinion to Eric Holder to stop any legal proceedings against those operatives.
Mr. Obama’s response was a curt, “No, I won’t,” and then walked away. Check out the video to hear it in Burlingame’s own words:

The reality is that Mr. Obama is playing his own political game and he really plays by his own rules. He doesn’t care about the U.S. Constitution and wants to do only what is in his best interests.
Recently, it has also been reported that Disclosure Act, which did not pass Congress, will be signed into law by Mr. Obama himself, using the “executive order” fiat. For those unaware of what the Disclosure Act is all about, here is a quote that should shine some light on the subject:
[T]he order would require all companies that sign contracts with the federal government to report on the personal political activities of their officers and directors.
The White House claims the EO would make the federal government more transparent. But a quick look at who Obama chose to exempt from the EO shows this is false: unions that sign collective bargaining contracts with the federal government would be exempt from the “disclosure” requirements. The clear intent of this bill is to suppress speech and punish Obama’s enemies.
According to a Congressional Research Service review of Executive Orders over the last 40 years, no White House has ever issued an EO dealing with campaign finance. Signing the DISCLOSE Act EO would be an unprecedented power grab by Obama. Quote Via: The Washington Examiner. I (emphasis added) [3]
The simple reality seems to be that Mr. Obama sees himself as a dictator. If others in government will not make his wishes come true, he’ll find a way to do it without their help. The idea that a president of the United States believes that Congress is neither a help or hindrance to him is nothing short of demagoguery, yet most seem perfectly fine with this attitude he possesses!
My question is…when will Mr. Obama be impeached because these are clearly impeachable offenses. The left believes that if they continue to conjure up false accusations of racism, then people will simply drop it, but that is not the way our Constitution works!
We have three branches of government that act as checks and balances yet Mr. Obama appears to not notice the other branches, unless of course they agree with him. A Federal Judge has ruled against Obamacare, but the White House was quick to say they were moving ahead with it anyway. Can you imagine if you or I did that with something? We’d be hauled into jail.
There is a problem with the man in the White House and it has to do with the fact that he is breaking the law and seemingly getting away with it. We need someone in Congress who would be willing to stand up against Mr. Obama’s dictatorial posture and help him understand that he is not above the law.
Hopefully it will happen sooner than later!

Mosab Yousef MAY Be Part of the Deception Against the West
Is Mosab Yousef Part of the Deception against the West?
Lars Hedegaard Convicting of “Hate Speech” in Denmark
This type of story may soon be appearing in U.S. headlines with respect to some U.S. citizens who dare to speak out against the constant atrocities that are perpetrated by radical Islamists. Lars Hedegaard was recently found guilty of “hate speech” in his home country of Denmark for bringing to the fore the facts of the matter about the huge problem of males raping females within Islam.
Though he had plenty of facts and statistical evidence to support his claims, that doesn’t seem to matter to the high courts of Denmark.
Pretty sad that stating the facts is becoming more and more synonymous with “hate speech.” It’s coming to that in this country here with respect to Mr. Obama as well. Any criticism of him is seen as “hating” him and the next “logical” step in that means that “hatred” stems from “racism.”
Apparently, “hate speech” is being redefined by the left and the whole world is going along with it. That’s certainly one way to take away people’s right to freedom of speech without doing anything to the law that allows it.

CNN is Always Good for the Actual Liberal, Lefthead View of Things
All that means is that the average American needs to search much harder for the truth and not simply hear what is being said and go, “Oh, that’s FOX – they lie” or “It’s on CNN, so it must be true.” These are irrational and false statements.
Did Mr. Obama REALLY Want to Go After Bin Laden? Maybe Not…
According to Atlas Shrugs, there was a bit of consternation within Mr. Obama regarding going after bin Laden. Apparently, he may have been fully unwilling to “sign off” on the deal that eventually allowed the Navy Seals to do what they are trained to do.
Why Does Mr. Obama Pander to Terrorists?
Narcissim is a funny thing. It often causes people to make decisions not based on intelligence, but based on their feelings about something. If Mr. Obama feels that Panetta got the one-up on him by announcing that the photos would be released, what better way to put Panetta in his place and remind the world (once again) that the dictator-in-chief is in charge and the world should never forget that.
Our Nation’s Leaders and Their Failure to Support Israel
The fact that Canada is so stalwart in their support of Israel gives me great hope! God can still bring the changes necessary to allow the Antichrist to come to the fore and allow this nation to have leaders that fear Him! Please join me in this type of prayer so that God will stay His hand of judgment and replace the current administration with an administration that seeks Him and supports Israel! Please get on your knees now.
Conclusive Evidence Mr. Obama’s Long Form Birth Certificate was Changed
It seems to be official. The long form birth certificate that Mr. Obama showed the world recently – after clearly declaring that he did not have one and one did not exist at all – has some issues.
Did You Hear that Osama bin Laden Might Not Be Dead?
Funny how some conspiracies theories come to light after just about any and every major occurrence that has anything to do with the government of the United States. The truth of the matter though is that this situation does seem politically expedient for Mr. Obama, having recently announced his re-election campaign.
With Osama bin Laden Dead, Can We Expect Reprisals?
The war on terror continues and so does the terrorist’s war against the West. We can bet that they will not take this death of bin Laden lying down. Whether we hear from them tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year, they will boldly make their statement known that though a very important leader is gone, they will continue the work that he began.
