Obama Cut Military Spending, Now Blames Lack of Security on… Obesity
by Shifra on May 10, 2017Yesterday, Obama gave a speech in Italy on “Climate Change.” He flew to Milan in a private jet, and his security detail included a convoy of 14 cars and a helicopter. Because “carbon footprint” just applies to the “little people.” Via NTK. Former President Barack Obama blamed obesity as the reason why America is less secure today instead of his administration’s decision to drastically cut military spending while delivering prepared remarks at the Seeds&Chips Global Food Innovation Summit in Italy on Tuesday. “And when, in the United States the number one disqualifier for military service is obesity, we might even be able to strengthen our security as well,” Obama told the audience during his prepared remarks.

Bio: Obama’s Law School Classmates Thought He Was Pompous and Pretentious
by Shifra on May 5, 2017So surprising…NOT Via BizPac Review. In a yet-to-be-released biography, “Rising Star,” historian David J. Garrow revealed that former President Barack Obama once dreamt of becoming a wildly successful businessman — and even held up President Donald Trump, his successor in office as an example of that image. The Washington Post reported: Obama had considered Donald Trump long before either man won the presidency, and brushed off his existence as a misguided national fantasy…. But that may have been based on his own inflated sense of self-worth. Law school classmates even used Obama as a guide for pomposity in others, calling it the “Obamanometer.” At Harvard, the Obama the world has come to know took clearer form. In his late 20s...

Obama’s Spokesman ‘Defends’ $400,000 Wall Street-Sponsored Speech
by Shifra on April 27, 2017Via IBT. Reports of former president Barack Obama being paid $400,000 to speak at a conference sponsored by a Wall Street investment bank caused uproar Wednesday. However, his spokesman, Eric Schultz said Wednesday Obama will remain “true to his values, his vision, and his record.” Which values would those be? Trying to “fundamentally change” America? Hoping his daughters wouldn’t be “punished” with a baby? Having our electricity rates skyrocket? Continuing to apologize/bow to tyrants? Stoking racial tensions? In a statement, he said it had been made clear months ago Obama would be delivering speeches – both paid and unpaid – after he stepped out of office in January this year, “regardless of venue or sponsor.”…. Really ? So will the...

Video: Media Mourns End of Obama Error, er, Era
by Shifra on January 19, 2017Is it just me, or does the silhouette of Obama depicted on the cover of The Nation look like one of the characters from Mystery Science Theater 3000 ? Via Weekly Standard. The Nation is publishing its gala hagiographic Obama send-off issue—”The Obama Years: 2008-2016″—and does so perhaps more in sadness than in celebration. The articles are full of complaint and recriminations—but not, for the most part, aimed at the Dear Leader. There are gripes about the irredeemable electorate, such as the article with the subhead “The president succeeded in repairing our institutions—but millions of Americans wanted to blow them up instead.”…. There is wistfulness: “I Miss Our Sane, Calm, Empathetic, Funny, President Already,” is Katha Pollitt’s headline…. “Before Trump’s...

It is traditional for visitors to place notes with private prayers in the wall’s crevices. Obama’s note was published in an Israeli newspaper, and a firestorm ensued, as it was condemned as a violation of his privacy and a “sacrilegious action.” And then it was revealed that it was a publicity stunt; the note had been leaked by Obama’s campaign. So, even before he was elected POTUS, he was a pain in the a.. piece of work…well, whatever… Via Washington Examiner. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took a jab at President...
