Can we impeach Obama now? Part III

Ed Klein, author of  The Amateur, a fine takedown of lyin’ Barry, says he was told by a state department insider that the Hildabeast tried to increase security for Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi but, guess who, turned her down.

Can we please impeach this clown now? It’s not like we didn’t already have reasons (and more reasons) to do it. This new reason is just one more brick in the wall.

UPDATE:  Fortunately, according to pol-watcher Noonan (with help from journalist Woodward), Barry showed his real face in the debates and, therefore, he is about to impeach himself.

MORE: Thank G-d for Fox News. While the other news media toadies ignore it, Fox not only picked up Klein’s story but they have another, exclusive one that’s just as damning.

AND MORE:  Finally, support for impeachment, even if it’s only Roger L. Simon, whose support could be expected. Well, hell, it’s a start.

Barry was a jerk in 2008, too.

Barry’s rude, arrogant, and snarky behavior in Monday night’s debate may have seemed new to those without a long memory. But he was a jerk in ’08, too.

You just weren’t likely to have noticed  (much less heard/read about it) back then unless you were paying close attention, as political writer Jim Treacher was:

Mocking McCain’s war injuries and alienating everybody older than Obama would certainly qualify. Either it’s on purpose, which goes way, way beyond jerkiness, or they didn’t do a simple Google search to learn why McCain has trouble using a computer keyboard, which means they’re panicky idiots.”

I’d go for on purpose. I saw Barry on YouTube slyly flip off Hillary, scratching his cheek with the tip of his middle finger, like some punk kid on the playground. Barry is a narcissist and few of them are nice people.

The painter postman

“By this point, Oliver’s work was selling for tens of thousands of dollars. One of his paintings sold for more than $70,000. And all the while, he shows up at the post office in Waco to sort mail.”

A fascinating little tale of a very interesting man just up the road from the rancho.

Meanwhile, the wealthy are being advised to sell or shelter their assets before Democrat taxes start pinching them in January. Lucky for them they still have that option. You can bet wealthy Democrats already have.

Nine things the media will rediscover when Romney wins

Among them, besides the “homeless” and street begging, and, of course, the renewed caterwauling of Democrats from the Clintons and Michael Moore to Code Pink, et al, this is No. 7:

“Some renowned Muslim scholars working for CNN believe that, in the Kufic script of early Arabic, the representation of “Romney” — if cited repeatedly in print — is almost guaranteed to make the moon to explode. And then where will we be?”

Heh. Via The Fat Guy whose struggle with lung cancer has not diminished his sense of humor.

I say “when” Romney wins, not “if,” because, like Roger Kimball at Pajamas Media I just have this hunch that Americans have had enough of Barry and, among other things, his continuous, divisive class warfare.

I think they see the connection between his disingenuous bashing of the rich (where do they think he gets his campaign money?) and the lousy economy (they know that investments by the rich fuel the businesses that hire) and realize that he won’t stop and things won’t get better—until he’s retired and sent home to Chicago.

Training the jaws that will bite you

Joey Hairplugs’ pathetic vice presidential “debate” performance the other night was useful in at least one way, as Sultan Knish shows.

Joey let slip that the Pentagon is aiding and training Syria’s Islamist rebels. You know, the Muslim Brotherhood. Again. Oh goody. And I’m sure they will deny everything when the Brotherhood decides to attack Israel and/or us.

UPDATE:  Indeed, it seems we have been arming them, through Benghazi, Libya, and the slain American ambassador may been involved.

Britain’s speech crimes

This is amazing stuff. Wear a nasty tee shirt, go to jail. Make a stupid joke on Facebook, go to jail. Use a politically-incorrect word on your blog, go to jail.

The very concept of speech crime is abhorrent. It’s what you’d expect in Iran, North Korea or Communist China. But Jolly Old England?

The birthplace of John Milton, who famously said: “Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience”?

No more, obviously. One more place to scratch off the tourist list.
