About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

It was pathetic how desperate Jen Psaki looked in that interview, just as if she knew SHE was lying and also that any sensible person would know she was lying and "please gaia let this interview be over".
Obama is starting to remind me of Mussolini,beating up on Libya, but just one loss after another since,and he keeps bleating about strategy.
The Yanks have just fled another ME Country with their tails tucked in.Putin must be laughing his butt off.
And we now Know they left a stash of weapons behind, stupid or
all per the master plan! Stingers???
It's the Dominobama Effect.
What worries me is Barry is probably getting exactly what he wants here. What he wants is chaos and destruction in the ME, or so I have to belive.
I mean, if maximum carnage was his goal, what would he be doing different right now? Not a farkin thing.
Yes, he is doing a top notch job of screwing up absolutely everything.
You have to ask for the umpteenth time, how could the American people be stupid enough to elect this useless Marxist?
The way things are going here in Canada you may want to rephrase that question in October.
or: Schmuck strikes again.
At least he's consistent.
why do people keep blaming Obumbles for jarRAT's eff ups???
His strategy is to stiff Hillary and become head of the UN , which in his eyes will be president of the world. It is Jarrett with the strategy and who knows what that is.
Jen Psaki's Baghdad Bob impersonation is spot on...and on a related note...whatever became of our leftards who were touting the wonders of the Arab Spring..?..
Thank you for adding that. I was thinking of adding something about the empty suit when I wrote the comment, but did not want to go off topic.
With the evacuation by US forces of the air base near Yeman's third largest city an important drone launching base is gone.

I think what Obama meant by a "success" was the success of the MB's militant wing in collapsing Yeman.
You are aware of the phrase "Stuck on Stupid" right?
You may be in need of a case of WD40.
In the immortal words of Monty Python - " RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY"! We now return you to our regular programming.
As the Great One - Mark Levin - so eloquently (and often) describes it "Everything Obama touches turns to Crap"
Not with a bang but a whimper indeed.
Or, as Kipling put it: "A fool lies here who tried to hustle the East."
"why do people keep blaming Obumbles for jarRAT's eff ups???"
Probably in her eyes or her controllers....they ain't fff ups but successes.
"And we now Know they left a stash of weapons behind, stupid or
all per the master plan! Stingers???"
"Befehl ist Befehl"
"or her controllers"
and that being the 64 thousand dollar question, of the day
"Stuck on Stupid"
aptly applied to those who miss the obvious intent of a post
