Barack Obama’s coterminous policies of apologetic weakness abroad and guilt-riddled self-loathing at home have just made the United States the victim of a baseless lawsuit filed by a foreign government — one that seems destined to further drain the wallets of the shrinking number of Americans still working.

For decades, the Left has claimed that if America atoned for our past sins, the “international community” would in turn respect us and treat us kindly. More realistic analysts warned the world would interpret this as weakness and pounce like tigers on a wounded hyena. Obama’s international apology has just proven us right. On October 1, Obama apologized to Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom for medical experiments conducted in the 1940s and approved by both governments. To be sure no nation missed the spectacle, Obama had the moment immortalized in a PR photo. Hillary Clinton, Kathleen Sebelius, and then-White House spokesman Robert Gibbs beat their breasts and begged pardon. This author was the only conservative who reported on it at the time, forecasting Guatemalans would demand reparations and that the money “will probably be forthcoming.”

The Associated Press reported yesterday, “Attorneys representing potentially thousands of Guatemalans who were affected by U.S. syphilis experiments decades ago said Tuesday they will sue top federal health officials unless a system is created out of court to settle claims by the victims or their survivors.”

What do you think inspired these foreigners to demand your tax dollars? “The administration’s apologetic tone led the Guatemalans’ attorneys to seek the unusual out-of-court settlement before a lawsuit is filed,” according to the AP….

Read More and Comment: Cindy Sheehan Challenges Robert Gibbs to a “Pee-Off”]]> Ben Johnson, Floyd Reports

When it seemed politics could not get any more juvenile, the Left has sunk to a new low. Cindy Sheehan has challenged White House spokesman Robert Gibbs “to a pee-off.”

Earlier this week, Gibbs lashed out at what he called “the professional Left” – as he has everyone else – saying, “Those people ought to be drug-tested.”

Left-wing professional wailer Sheehan saw him and raised him.

“I will put my urine up against Gibbs’ any day, and in fact, will travel to Washington to give him a fresh and warm sample,” she offered. “I actually think supporters of Obama should be tested for ‘Hopium’ in their urine, myself.”

Sheehan said her opposition to Obama was “ideologically pure,” since “the same foreign policies have continued, if not worsened during the tenure of the Obama administration.”

Then she threw down the gauntlet. “Since Gibbs is a liar and a jerk, I will challenge him to a pee-off.”

Nice to see the Left keeping it classy. The invitation to dueling urine samples is another epic fail for the president who promised to elevate our political discourse but has spent every moment of the last two years getting into pissing matches, figurative or literal.

Read More and Comment: Robert Gibbs Has Declared War on Everyone]]> Floyd Brown, Floyd Reports

We in the conservative movement are used to having the words of Robert Gibbs lobbed at us like grenades on a battlefield.

Gibbs has called conservatives "crazy." He has called us "birthers." He has said, "I’m almost positive that no argument is somehow going to dissuade [them]."

But now he isn’t firing only at conservatives. His utter frustration in the job has him targeting his guns at the Left. He even used the same word in describing the left-wing critics of Obama. He called them "crazy."

In an interview with The Hill newspaper, Gibbs said of attacks on the administration from liberal Democrats: "I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested," Gibbs said. "I mean, it’s crazy."

Obama’s press secretary wasn’t through. He went on to dismiss the "professional Left" saying, "They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon. That’s not reality."

Ironically, we have wanted these same critics of George W. Bush drug tested for years. Finally, Robert Gibbs and we share some common ground.

Seriously, his behavior is paranoid. Webster’s defines paranoid as "characterized by suspiciousness, persecutory trends, or megalomania."

This pretty much captures the modus operandi of the Obama administration: never talk about your opponents’ arguments, just demonize them.

As the popularity of the "Messiah-in-Chief" continues to fall, White House staff is getting desperate to defend itself. They are lashing out at more people and voting groups. This is not the healthiest reaction when the country is teetering on the brink of a depression and mired in an endless war. Charges of incompetence made by radicals on the Left or us conservatives on the Right are accurate and appropriate.

Gibbs’ statements were quickly ripped to shreds by the left-wing blogs.

Glenn Greenwald at Salon called the comments, "one of the most petulant, self-pitying outbursts seen from a top political official in recent memory, half derived from a paranoid Richard Nixon rant and the other half from a Sean Hannity/Sarah Palin caricature of The Far Left."

Chris Bowers of the OpenLeft blog responded in a post headlined "Dear swing voters, you suck. Love, The White House." He wrote, "If the White House really doesn’t think it has any problems among self-identified liberals or progressives, and that all the complaints are coming from a grasstop elite, it needs to look at the data again."

All I have to say to these new left-wing opponents of Obama is, “Welcome to the cause.” I’m glad you agree with us now. Why don’t you join us in the impeachment effort, so we can end this nightmare called the Obama administration a few years early.

Read More and Comment: Video: White House wants another war with Rush]]> When told that Rush Limbaugh was once again calling out the White House on the unconstitutional government takeover of Chrysler and GM, Robert Gibbs started in with an attack on Rush.

Gibbs: “Look, Rush Limbaugh and others wanted to walk away. Rush Limbaugh and others saw a million people that worked at these factories, that worked at these parts suppliers, that had — that supported communities, and thought we should all just walk away. The president didn’t think that walking away from a million jobs in these communities made a lot of economic sense,”

Gibbs and the White House’s war with Rush started in the first weeks of the administration, with the White House using a deliberate strategy of Rush demonization. The only result of this was the destruction of our economy while they spent their time attacking a political commentator.

Now they are at it again.

Read More and Comment: White House vs. Nasa. Who's lying?]]>

According to Robert Gibbs, Obama never told Charles Bolden, the head of NASA, that Muslim outreach was a priority.

According to Fox News:

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday that NASA Administrator Charles Bolden must have misspoken when he told Al Jazeera last month that one of his top priorities is to reach out to Muslim countries.

"That was not his task and that’s not the task of NASA," Gibbs said […]

The White House also backed up Bolden last week when his remarks first stirred controversy. A White House spokesman last Tuesday said Obama wants NASA to engage with the world’s best scientists and that to meet that challenge, NASA must "partner with countries around the world like Russia and Japan, as well as collaboration with Israel and with many Muslim-majority countries."

NASA last week walked back Bolden’s claim that Muslim outreach was the "perhaps foremost" plank of his mission, saying that Bolden was merely talking about his "outreach" responsibilities and that space exploration is still NASA’s No. 1 job.

But Gibbs on Monday appeared to deny that Bolden was asked to focus on Muslim outreach at all.

Asked whether Bolden misspoke, Gibbs said: "I think so."

But why didn’t the Obama administration refute it when Bolden told people this in February?

It looks like the heat is getting to Obama, and they have decided to drop Bolden under a truck.

Who do you think is lying?
