Why isn't anyone asking the TOUGH questions?

Barry Soetoro "learned" about Bin Laden being in The Mansion last August.  He now trumpets, and the ShitStreamMedia echoes, that he met with "his" National Security "team" 9 times before they "pulled the trigger"  [What?  You mean he really DIDN'T pull the trigger?  Sure could have fooled me with all the "I's" and "me's" and "my's"].  Anyone do the math?  After August came September, October, November, December, January, February, March, and all of April.  Not counting the days in August, that's 242 days.  TWO HUNDRED FORTY TWO DAYS.  That's over 34 1/2 weeks.  That's just a bit less than one time every four weeks.

The president of the United States hears they have a line on Public Enemy No. 1 . . . since September 11, 2001 . . . and he takes the time out of his busy schedule to meet with his National Security advisors ONCE a month?

Someone please tell me this is a joke.  But wait, while we're on the subject of jokes . . . Candidate Soetoro said:

. . . Guantanamo should be closed and habeas corpus should be restored for the detainees. He says the United States should have “developed a real military system of justice that would sort out the suspected terrorists from the accidentally accused.”

Still waiting for that "real military system of justice" to come to fruition.  Or was that part of his once a month meeting with his National Security "team?" His position had been:

In a March 2008 Washington Post interview, Obama said the United States should work to advance democracy by setting an example and banning torture, extraordinary rendition and by closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay.

Hmmm.  Two or three bullets in the skull is kinda like torture, isn't it?  I mean, I'd personally prefer water-boarding to lead in the head.  But how does that jibe with

In 2007, U.S. officials who were interrogating Guantanamo detainees finally learned the real name of a former Khalid Sheikh Muhammad protégé who had become an important confidante of Abu Faraj al Libi. Al Libi was captured in 2005 and also taken to Guantanamo.

WHAT????  You mean, they got info from GITMO in 2007?  And they didn't stand up in front of microphones and say I, I, me, my, I, I, my, I, I, my, me, I, I, I, I, I, my, I, I, I . . . you get the picture, don't you?

ABC started the article with . . .

It began with a tip to the CIA eight months ago about a possible Osama bin Laden hiding place, and led Sunday to the bold military operation that will go down in U.S. history, as Navy SEALs killed the Al Qaeda leader in a mansion in Abbottabad, Pakistan while he reportedly used women as human shields.

C'mon.  Does anyone REALLY believe the SEALS and Delta and Marine Recon haven't done similar things HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of times?  Without having to have 9 meetings with Barry between golf and fund-raising and Ooompa-looompah?


And of course, how can we forget:

In the summer 2007 issue of Foreign Affairs, Obama said democratic states are better equipped to fight terrorism, stop the spread of weapons, and deal with public health crises. To this end, Obama said as president he would increase foreign aid funding to $50 billion by 2012 and demand reform of corrupt governments.

He's sure helping those that want more freedom in Syria, Ivory Coast, Sudan, Somalia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, isn't he? And how about dissidents in China and Iran?  Boy, I bet they can't wait for his "help," just like he "helped" those in Egypt and Libya.  Boy, he sure did a bang up job in Libya, didn't he?  Reminds me of the lyrics to Meat Loaf's

Stop right there! I gotta know right now! Before we go any further--!
Do you love me? Will you love me forever? Do you need me? Will you never leave me? Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? Will you take me away and will you make me your wife? Do you love me!? Will you love me forever!? Do you need me!? Will you never leave me!? Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life!? Will you take me away and will you make me your wife!? I gotta know right now Before we go any further Do you love me!!!? Will you love me forever!!!?

Boy:
Let me sleep on it Baby, baby let me sleep on it Let me sleep on it And I'll give you my answer in the morning

Well, he sure seems to be sleeping on his next step, doesn't he?

Anybody else remember ... he had said, REPEATEDLY, that the American people "should be told" before American forces went into foreign countries.  He stood up in Cairo and proclaimed that the United States was going to be different.  He even LOOKED like a tin-pan, third world dictator.  Or like Crazy Looie Fart-like-Kahn.

Barry stood up in Cairo and said:

I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect; and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition.

Mutual respect?  Did Soetoro ask permission to cross into Pakistan?  Did he asks the Pakistanis if HE could fly armed helicopters with 24 or more trained assassins [ummm, yeah, that's what Seals are . . . and I'm damn glad, too] into their Muslim country.  Land.  Break into a private residence.  Kill at least several Pakistani citizens.  Kill what was apparently an "honored" guest. Kill women.  And then allow them to leave with private property?

Is that .. . "respectful?"  Would it have been under a Republican president?  You know damn well that had Barack Obama been in the Senate, one of those few days he was "present," and had a GOP administration done anything like this [and what's funny is, they did, but they didn't tell Barry and his commie buddies about all of them], Mr. Hussein-Obama would have been in front of cameras screaming his outrage.  And Crazy Looie would have been smilin' his bow-tied head off.

Soetoro wound down in Cairo with:

And finally, just as America can never tolerate violence by extremists, we must never alter our principles. 9/11 was an enormous trauma to our country. The fear and anger that it provoked was understandable, but in some cases, it led us to act contrary to our ideals. We are taking concrete actions to change course. I have unequivocally prohibited the use of torture by the United States, and I have ordered the prison at Guantanamo Bay closed by early next year.

So America will defend itself respectful of the sovereignty of nations and the rule of law. And we will do so in partnership with Muslim communities which are also threatened. The sooner the extremists are isolated and unwelcome in Muslim communities, the sooner we will all be safer.

Who did Barry "partner with" in his clearly unlawful incursion into Pakistan?  How did Barry "[respect] the sovereignty" of Pakistan?  Why aren't these questions being asked by the very same media that would be calling for GWB's head had he done the same thing.


Oh, I know why.

Of course, isn't this the same pile of bat guano that said the debt ceiling should NEVER be raised, and to ask to do so was a sign of weakness?  I can't remember, did he say that before or after he said he'd cut the budget deficit IN HALF within his first two years of office, and instead, it's more than tripled.  That's, what, you math majors?  A SIX HUNDRED PERCENT DIFFERENCE, isn't it?
