Joe Biden is caught in a quadfecta of corruption, cognitive decline, a failed agenda, and eroding polls. Amid this apparent vacuum, an opportunistic Barack Obama — who used to be more discreet in managing his third term—is reentering the arena.
Last week, he came out as the overseer of the Biden administration’s AI agenda, even as his foundation’s “Democracy Forum” was warning Americans about the need for “inclusive capitalism” and the pathologies of “material consumption”—all this from a multi-mansioned multimillionaire.
Now, Obama is weighing in on the Gaza war by undercutting his third-term presidential proxy.
Yet just as he seems somewhat clueless about the contradictions of an erstwhile “community organizer” turned into a hyper-capitalist, consumption-addicted elite, so too Obama has little self-awareness about how much of Biden’s unpopularity derives from his continuation of Obama’s own agendas on the economy, border, crime, race, foreign policy, and energy.
His apparent obliviousness continues with his most recent odd assertion that, “The occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is [sic] unbearable.”
But Obama surely concedes that Gaza has been autonomous and free of Israelis since 2005, and governed by a “one man, one vote, once” Hamas clique since January 2006.
Obama added that, “If you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth, and you then have to admit nobody’s hands are clean – that all of us are complicit to some degree.”
In truth, Obama’s blanket accusation is absurd. Over the last 17 years, an autonomous Hamas has managed to create both a hierarchy of billionaires ensconced in luxury Qatari hotels, and the most sophisticated subterranean tunnel city in the world—but little else except corruption, poverty, and violence for all concerned.
Obama again seemed unaware of his own confession when he lectured, “nobody’s hands are clean” and “all of us are complicit”.
Not quite, Barack.
Those most culpable for the current catastrophe are Obama and his team, who invited in Robert Malley to be their point man on Hamas; cooked up the “Shiite crescent” misadventure; snubbed the grass-roots Green Movement that sought to overthrow the Iranian theocracy; invited the Russians back into the Middle East after a 40-year hiatus; fled Iraq and fueled the ISIS caliphate; lifted sanctions on Iran, giving it a multibillion-dollar war chest that armed to the teeth Hezbollah and Hamas; estranged the U.S. from Israel; and created the media echo chamber that empowered the disastrous Iran Deal.
Don't be surprised to wake up one morning and see low-income housing going in your upscale suburban neighborhood.. While President B.O.bama continues with his, seemingly, daily pronouncements of change-or 'decrees' as the New York Times called his new bathroom gender integration promgram- it's hard to keep up with what BO and his henchmen will do next.
Jun 15, 2015 ... Under Obama's proposed rule, the federal government will collect ... Washington has no business imposing decisions about zoning and ...
How many of you know that one of those things is to re-zone all the affluent neighborhoods in American to include low-income housing to rectify what he considers 'racist' housing tracts. In the 50s and 60s it was SHCOOL BUSSING - which was eventually deemed ineffective and discontinued. Now, a similar style program could become even more invasive, artificially altering your property values (lowering them in most cases) .
Don't laugh, tony Westchester County in New York may become one of the first such neighborhoods - and many of its own citizens are unaware. Obama has so many things up his sleeve he often pushes them through on a Friday afternoon before anyone finds out and it becomes too late to do anything about. And, if there is time to do anything, we must deal with an almost equally incompetent Senate (as President) that fears radifying such programs believing the Great BO can shoot them down with another executive order. At least standing up to Obama would bring the issue to greater light and bring about public scrutiny that would otherwise not exist with little public knowledge of the actions to date.
Imagine living in a truly modified country where everything is controlled by the government. Our homes are our last place of refuge, yet these , too may be soon be controlled by an ever-more meddling President .
Senator Mike Lee does have a bill on the table that COULD stop Obama's rezoning of America, but the people must stand up in outrage if its going to have any teeth. Feel free to send this around to your friends to WAKE UP AMERICA! Also, an agency for limited government is also trying to do something about this.

Obama Vacations at $70 Million Dollars, 177 Days And Counting - Way Up From Bush , Others By the end of his term, it's possible President Obama may end up having traveled almost one year or 14% of his time in office on vacation. (Some will say he's been on vacation the whole time.) This for a president who often doesn't begin his days until 10 am and end them early, as one can see on his daily presidential schedule
Below is a rather typical day in the life of President Obama Dec. 15
There was the weekend trip for President Barack Obama and his daughters to New York, including a Broadway show and a private museum tour.
The ski trip to Aspen, Colorado, for first lady Michelle Obama in February.
And lots and lots of golf in Florida, Southern California and Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.
Now as the Obama family departs Friday on its annual holiday vacation to Hawaii, new estimates put the price tag of the Obamas’ 2015 trips that are all or largely personal at $11.6 million for travel costs alone, according to the conservative group Judicial Watch, based on federal government records. That brings the overall cost of personal or largely personal travel to at least $70.5 million since Obama took office in 2009, according to the group’s analysis. MORE

Cold Hard Facts: OBAMA INVITING THOUSANDS TO AMERICA TO KILL US
In a recent American Pew Poll a full seven percent of Muslim repondents said they were in support of ISIS. In perhaps, a more significant survey conducted in the Middle East (Arab Center for Research & Policy Studies) a full 13% of respondents said they have a 'positive' or 'positive to some extent' view of ISIL' (ISIS). 4% were fully 'supportive' . (See poll graph below.) Going by that statistic, a full 400 of the initial 10,000 or more Syrian refugees Obama is bringing to America are potential terrorists and killers, not to mention Islamic sympathizers already in America. (We know that there were approximiately 1,000 reported threats of Islamic terrorism in all 50 states in the U.S., recently and there are currently about 90 ongoing investigations by the FBI of potential Islamic attacks in America . ) As Obama has now expressed interest to at least double the number of Syrian refugees to America we could well end up with into the thousands of terrorists here to kill us - and many more incidents like the one in San Bernadino. Syria, Refugees, Obama, Poll, Poster, Hillary, Alinsky,Pew, survey
We now have the San Bernadino police department condemning the largest American killing in America as 'Islamic terrorism'as well as our own FBI director admitting to an Islamic terrorist threat in America , yet our own president to date has not recognized or even spoken the words 'Islamic Terrorism' .
Meanwhile, too few of our other 'leaders' have come out to address this life-threatening issue that would be common sense for the great majority of the population. However, there remain many like Hillary Clinton, herself, who continue to support the importation of Syrian refugees even after the French and San Bernadino attacks.
Twenty years ago the great Russian comic Yakov Smirnoff declared, positively, of the United States, 'What a country,' but , sadly, today the words have opposite meaning. Certainly, our President's and Hillary's mentor, Saul Alinsky , and his teachings 'to obfuscate and distract' appear to be the chickens coming home to roost. And, our next potential president, Hillary Clinton , appears poised to continue the mantra .
'My definition of leadership is leading on climate change'
sounded more like an SNL spoof somebody would do on Obama rather than actual words coming from the leader of the Free World. If it weren't so serious, it would be almost humorous that the Obama considers 'climate change' the key leadership issue, as he told Steve Croft on 60 Minutes October 11 in what was perhaps the first real 'grilling' of Obama by the mainstream media since Obama took office seven years ago. Many have felt that Obama has had a 'free pass' from what many consider the 'left-leaning' mainstream media during his entire presidency. Not so this time - what may be a piece of history, the one and only interview of its kind.
Steve Croft, 60 Minutes First Mainstream Media To Grill Obama, Make Him Squirm
STEVE MALZBERG offers key excerpts of the interview, such as the first clip where Croft questions the $500 million given for training Syrian soldiers which resulted in a total of five being trained.
Other topics that would appear to get under Obama's skin would include:
- Russia's Putin taking over world leadership of the Middle East War in Syria and Iraq.Croft to Obama 'Mr Putin seems to be challenging your leadership ' at which point Obama makes an exagerated grimace. Croft backs his question with a series of facts and figures to which Obama seems to evade with a long, rambling answer.
Says Malzberg, 'Nobody treats Obama this way and gets away with it.' Well, Steve Croft and 60 Minutes did, and probably for the first and last time. Doubt Obama will be back on 60 Minutes anytime soon, if ever.
As to whether that attention will evaporate, the president declines to speculate. "I'll leave it up to the pundits to make that determination," Obama says. "I don't think he'll end up being president of the United States."
At different moments in the interview, the president turns reflective, taking stock of his time in office and eyeing the year ahead. In the unaired clip below, he tells Kroft that, at this point, he's learned to trust his instincts.
"The nice thing about being a veteran in anything is your fear kind of goes away," he says. "There's no doubt I'm better at this job now than I was when I started."
At the end of the interview, Kroft asks Obama if he's glad he can't run for president again. Obama says he feels a mixture of satisfaction at what he's accomplished and a desire to still do more. "But by the time I'm finished, I think it will be time for me to go," he says, adding that new blood in the White House is essential for a healthy democracy.
"Do you think if you ran again, could run again, and did run again, you would be elected?" Kroft asks.
"Yes," says Obama, without missing a beat.
From Breitbart:
A frustrated President Obama reacted angrily to tough questions during an interview aired last night from CBS interviewer Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes.
Regarding Syria and ISIS, Kroft pointed out that it had already been a year since Obama announced military action in the region with little signs of progress.
Obama was dismissive of the notion that it was his job to eliminate ISIS.
“Over time, the community of nations will all get rid of them, and we will be leading getting rid of them,” he said.
When challenged over his failed $500 million training program for fighters in Syria, Obama quickly added that he was “skeptical from the beginning” but that it was important to “try different things.”
As Obama expressed skepticism about multiple theoretical solutions for the Middle East including training or arming Syrian rebels, he remarked that there were no “silver bullets” in Syria.
“I feel like I’m being filibustered Mr. President,” Kroft interrupted.
“No, no, no, no, no. Steve,” Obama replied with a flash of annoyance. “I think if you want to roll back the tape, you’ve been giving me long questions and statements, and now I’m responding to ‘em. So let’s — so — if you ask me big, open-ended questions, expect big, open-ended answers.
When challenged over Putin, Obama dismissed the idea that somehow he was outmaneuvered even though he admitted that intelligence indicated that they knew he would act in Syria.
“He’s challenging your leadership Mr. President,” Kroft said, prompting a strong reaction from Obama.
“Steve, I gotta tell you, if you think that running your economy into the ground and having to send troops in, in order to prop up your only ally is leadership, then we’ve got a different definition of leadership,” he said. “My definition of leadership would be leading on climate change, an international accord that potentially we’ll get in Paris.”
Obama insisted that his critics would only be content if thousands of American troops and trillions of American dollars would continue to be spent in the region to try to solve the political situation in the Middle East and combat Putin.
After the contentious interview, Kroft informed his viewers that the pair halted the interview for a water break before resuming their conversation.
“What else do you got?” Obama challenged Kroft with a grin as the interview resumed.
Perhaps Obama was surprised by Kroft’s unusual toughness, after years of 60 Minutes interviews where he was allowed to answer questions at his own pace. The most surprising portion of the interview was hearing Kroft repeatedly interrupting the president and pressing him on foreign policy.
A frequent interviewer of the president, Kroft has been mocked by critics for giving Obama softball questions, allowing him to distract from the questions by lengthy responses.
After Kroft sat down with both Hillary Clinton and Obama in 2013 to discuss the nature of their relationship, many journalists marveled at the coziness that Kroft was experiencing with the Obama White House.
The Atlantic’s Conor Friedersdorf called that interview “a performance that ought to earn him a rebuke from his peers in the news business.”
Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan described that interview as “so soft, so dazzled, so supportive, so embarrassing.”
Other journalists recalled a 2013 interview with Piers Morgan where Kroft admitted that “we’re not going to play ‘gotcha’ with him” and that 60 Minutes was “not going to go out of our way to make him look bad or stupid.” “We’ll let him answer the questions,” he said.
Now that Obama is in the fourth quarter of his presidency, perhaps Kroft decided it was time to turn up the heat. But after last night’s contentious interview, it will be interesting to see if Kroft ever interviews this president again.

ˈtrēzən/ nounthe crime ofbetraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.
It's one thing that the U.S. must notify Iran 24 days in advance of nuclear inspections per the new Nuclear Pact, but we learn from our own U.S. Attorney General Susan Rice that Only pro-Iranian IAEA Inspectors Will Be Allowed. If this isn't giving away the store and opening the floodgates to sure nuclear weapons by the Iranians nothing is... And that's only the beginning. Rice also admits that the Iranians will likely spend some of the $100 billion the U.S. is giving them on military weapons that will likely used against us. If the above is not 'betraying one's country' we can't imagine what is.
This the same day that 4 marines were murdered by a likely 24-year-old muslim terrorist in Chattanooga where arms are not allowed (on military bases based on a January, 1993 action by former president Bill Clinton.
This the same day President Obama spoke at an Oklahoma prison trying to get more 'young' out of prision, the same day a young person just killed four of our military.
Susan Rice: NO AMERICANS Will Be Allowed to Inspect Iranian Nuclear Sites
This wasn’t a nuclear deal – This was a surrender
Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice, of Benghazi fame, went on CNN to promote the P5+1 nuclear deal with the Iranian regime.
During the discussion Rice admitted that NO AMERICAN EXPERTS will be allowed in to inspect the Iranian nuclear sites.
Iran will also have $100 billion to spend on military operations in the region.
BLITZER: “Let’s clarify a few points as far as the nuclear deal with Iran is concerned. I take it that all of the IAEA inspection teams, all inspectors who go in will have to be from country that have formal, full diplomatic relations with Iran. As a result, no Americans will directly be involved in any on the ground inspections in Iran — is that right?”
RICE: “Wolf, yes. The IAEA, which is a highly respected international organization, will field an international team of inspectors. And those inspectors will in all likelihood come from IAEA member-states, most of whom have diplomatic relationships with Iran. We of course are a rare exception.”
BLITZER: “No Americans — I want to be precise on this. Sorry for interrupting. No Americans will be on the ground in Iran actually inspecting?”
RICE: “No Americans will be part of the IAEA inspection teams.”
BLITZER: “Will Americans be outside –”
RICE: “There are Americans in Iran on a daily basis, Wolf. I’m not sure what you are asking.”
BLITZER: “American government officials or military officials who could be inspecting?”
RICE: “They’re not going to be independent American inspectors separate from the IAEA. The IAEA will do the inspections on behalf of the United States and the rest of the international community.”
BLITZER: “I know there are American tourists and Americans who go visit family members in Iran. I’m talking U.S. government sent people, diplomats or others to go in there and see what is going on. I take it they will not be doing that?”
Politico just called Obama's remarks on Obamacare 'LIE OF THE YEAR" for 2013 and it's hard to disagree, left or right, what could be a bigger lie. In fact, his promise that one can 'keep your own insurance'and 'keep your own doctor' with Obamacare could be the Lie of the Last Three Years , which is as long as Obama has been repeating the statements.
