Barack Obama has become America’s blamer-in-chief.
He and his administration spent last weekend blaming the explosion of violence against America in the Middle East on a moronic anti-Muhammad video that’s been on YouTube for months.
His United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice made the rounds of the Sunday morning news shows,where she made an absolute idiot of herself.
Apparently auditioning for the secretary of state job in —God forbid —a second Obama administration,Rice insisted that the “spontaneous”Islamic rage that killed our ambassador in Libya and three other Americans was caused not by the failures of her boss but by an amateur movie made by some nut in California.
This tragic episode once again proves that the incompetence of this president is not limited to the home front,where the economy stagnates and deficits and gas prices soar.
In the Middle East,Obama and his Chicago Gang have confused our friends and emboldened our enemies with a foreign policy that has been a mix of ineptness,appeasement,and naivete.
Remember when Obama boasted in Cairo that the Muslim world was going to fall in love with the USA because it had just elected a president who had generations of Muslims in his ancestry?
Boy,the Muslims in Libya and Egypt sure have a strange way of showing their love for America.
Obama’s cowering reaction to the Middle East crisis —and his refusal to man-up and act like the president of the United States —begs the question:“What would Ronald Reagan do?”
My dad knew how good the nuts in California were at making bad movies. But he certainly would never have blamed a motion picture or a trailer on YouTube for what’s going on in the Middle East.
When the Marine barracks were blown up in Lebanon in 1983,Ronald Reagan didn’t blame it on anyone else.
He accepted responsibility for the Marines dying. But he also used the event to come on TV and talk to the American people and explain why it was so important for us to be in the Middle East.
What did this president do when our invaluable Libyan ambassador Chris Stevens was assassinated in a well-planned attack by Muslim extremists? He went to Vegas for a fundraiser event and made another political speech.
Being president of the United States is not about being a good guy to play hoops with,or to have a cold beer with —it’s about being able to take a position of leadership when trouble comes.
It means standing up for American values like the freedom of speech,not apologizing for them. And it means standing up for our policies in the Middle East,not throwing them overboard whenever they are challenged.
President Obama is a glaring sign of the absolute weakening of America. You might call what he has been doing “The Wussification of the White House.”
But blaming what happened in Libya and Egypt on a YouTube trailer is not just cowardly,it’s absurd. Next week,Obama will be blaming the 1992 Disney movie “Aladdin”for inciting Muslim mobs to burn down KFC stores or kill Americans.
Mr. President,when trouble came our way,my father manned up. It’s time for you to do the same. “Let’s roll.”

Not only is Obama a disgrace but so is Susan Rice,his puppet. NOTHING that comes from this Administration can be trusted or believed. Perhaps America should look into how those animals dragged our Ambassador through the streets BEFORE they murdered him…and what about the other three Americans who died??? Muslims are rioting in over 17 countries…and Obama wants us to believe this is due to a video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can he or any of his administration look at themselves in the mirror and not hang their heads in absolute shame. AMERICANS DO NOT APOLOGIZE for the horrors of this Islamic SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our President is subject to suspicion of his legality of being an American,ties with the Muslim Brotherhood,sending more aid to Egypt (!!!!!!),executive orders by passing Congress,ignoring the Constitution,his being a Muslim,his cover ups….oh lord,one can go on and on. It has to stop America……those who believe in him are questionably insane.
good comment Nellie
From the constitution:
Article II section 1:
No person except a natural born Citizen,or a Citizen of the United States,at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution,shall be eligible to the Office of President;neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years,and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
From Wikipedia:
The Constitution does not explain the meaning of "natural born". On June 18,1787,Alexander Hamilton submitted to the Convention a sketch of a plan of government. The sketch provided for an executive "Governour"but had no eligibility requirements.
At the close of the Convention,Hamilton conveyed a paper to James Madison which he said delineated the Constitution which he would have wished to be proposed by the Convention;he had stated its principles in the course of the deliberations. Max Farrand wrote that it "was not submitted to the Convention and has no further value than attaches to the personal opinions of Hamilton". Article IX,section 1 of Hamilton's draft constitution provided:
"No person shall be eligible to the office of President of the United States unless he be now a Citizen of one of the States,or hereafter be born a Citizen of the United States."
On July 25,1787,John Jay wrote to George Washington,presiding officer of the Convention:
Permit me to hint,whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government,and to declare expressly that the Command in chief of the American army shall not be given to,nor devolve on,any but a natural born Citizen.
There is no proof that deliberations took place at the convention on the subject of the letter. While the Committee on Detail originally proposed that the President must be merely a citizen as well as a resident for 21 years,the Committee of Eleven changed "citizen"to "natural born Citizen"without explanation. The Convention accepted the change without further debate.
The word citizen was capitalized to show a special type of citizen.
From Vattels "law of nations"
§212. Citizens and natives.
The citizens are the members of the civil society;bound to this society by certain duties,and subject to its authority,they equally participate in its advantages. The natives,or natural-born citizens,are those born in the country,of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens,those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers,and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this,in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation;and it is presumed,as matter of course,that each citizen,on entering into society,reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children;and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether,on their coming to the years of discretion,they may renounce their right,and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say,that,in order to be of the country,it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen;for,if he is born there of a foreigner,it will be only the place of his birth,and not his country.
All the founders of our constitution owned and had read Vattels Law of Nations,they were so familiar with it that they didnt feel any explanation of the term natural born Citizen be explained.
Now read the above thoroughly and then tell me where does Obama fit,eligible or not eligible?
