Remember, humor is sadistic! For example, someone slips on a banana peel and crashes down hard - and people laugh! It's so slapstiick funny! So is political humor.
Listen to how a real American President would/should handle this kind of situation! And VOTE for Newt and his long experience. And brilliant mind!
All the Republican candidates are way better than anti-American, Marxist-Islamist IDEOLOGUE Obama, even lunatic, but pro-America, ideologue Ron Paul whose heart is in the right place but whose view of how to govern a country and deal with our enemies verges on the ludicrous.
This man, "OBAMA", through his actions and lack of actions has rivers of blood on his hands after Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Syria, IRAN, Somalia and some lesser killing fields in Africa and Middle East! And sporadically the Near and Far East.
BTW One of the punishments inflicted on SYRIAN ruler Assad's MALE protesters, specially the younger ones is not to CASTRATE them but just CUT OFF their PENIS.
Lifelong suffering as the urge and pressure remains but it cannot be relieved.
Obama doing the same to us financially to inflict maximum suffering on non-Moslem Americans without any hope of relief!
So sorry! Obama, Iran in secret nuclear deal, while indirectly apologizing to Afghanistan that he has not yet destroyed America for our enemies, specially Islamic ones.
By Reza Kahlili 02/27/2012
My sources inside Iran tell me that President Obama, seeking to protect the recovering U.S. economy and bolster his chances of being re-elected in November, apparently has entered into an informal agreement with Iran that he believes will defuse the nuclear weapons crisis and keep Israel from attacking the Islamic regime.
The agreement calls for the United States to acknowledge that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons, and for Iran to hand over its highly enriched uranium, which is necessary for nuclear weaponization.
Iran, for its part, though engaging Obama, has no intention of abiding by the agreement and is stepping up its nuclear enrichment program clandestinely, even as it prepares for a war it believes it can win.
When Obama took office in 2009, he threw out the Bush administration’s aggressive posture in negotiating with Iran and instead sought a new approach, one of diplomacy and friendship. He had a golden opportunity to support millions of Iranians who took to the streets over Iran’s fraudulent elections that June, but instead turned his back on freedom and democracy while believing that negotiations with the Islamic regime would yield results.
Once the protests had died down, the Iranians, after months of promises, announced that a proposed agreement by the West that limited their nuclear activity was no longer acceptable and that they had successfully enriched uranium to 20 percent, which is nine-tenths of the way to nuclear weaponization.
The Iranians have now expanded their nuclear program to the point where they not only have enough low-enriched uranium for six nuclear bombs but also have doubled their stock of highly enriched uranium of 20 percent. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recently reported that Iran has added 3,000 more centrifuges to the Natanz facility, bringing the total to 9,000, and has started enriching to 20 percent at the previous secret site, the Fordow facility, which is deep within a mountain and secure against any attack. Such production could give Iran weapons-grade uranium for nuclear bombs within weeks.
Obama knows that Israel is losing patience with the lack of progress over Iran’s unabated continuation of its illicit nuclear program despite four sets of U.N. sanctions and other sanctions imposed by the U.S. and the European Union. He also knows that any confrontation between Israel and Iran will drag America into an unwanted war and therefore destabilize the American economy and harm his chances of re-election.
Iran knows that its best chance to delay any attack on its nuclear and military facilities and its best opportunity to be in a win-win situation is to once again engage Obama, believing he is weak, that Iran holds the key to his re-election and that a Republican win in November could mean direct confrontation.
As revealed in January, Obama sent a message to the Iranian leaders through three different channels. Part of it, disclosed by the Iranian officials, reflected a message by the U.S. president asking for cooperation and negotiation based on mutual interests, but more importantly, it assured Iran that America will not take any action against the Islamic regime.
Sources within Iran reveal that Khamenei, in a secret meeting with his top officials and military commanders, has issued a directive to push for a step-by-step Russian proposal to defuse the crisis in which Iran would only hand over its 20 percent enrichment stock while keeping all low-enriched uranium stock (enough for six nuclear bombs) and cooperate more with the IAEA (all the while continuing its enrichment activity). In exchange, the West would ease up on the sanctions as each step is taken.
The U.S., for its part, had to announce that Iran is not after the nuclear bomb, backing Israel into a corner and pressuring it not to take any action.
In the same meeting it was decided that if the West did not take the offer, then a limited war in the region could help the Iranian leaders further consolidate power at home, incite further uprisings in the region, become the leader of the Islamic movement by attacking Israel and still save some of its nuclear facilities, which are either at secret locations or deep underground. And that would justify their pursuit of the nuclear bomb.
The Obama administration responded positively. First, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsy, publicly announced that Iran is a rational actor and that it is not after a nuclear bomb. Then, just as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was to arrive in Washington for talks with Obama over Iran’s nuclear program, the consensus of 16 U.S. intelligence agencies said Iran has already stopped efforts to build a bomb.
This despite the most recent IAEA report clearly indicating the military aspect of the Iranian nuclear program and last week’s announcement by the U.N. nuclear agency that Iran has ramped up by 50 percent its production of highly enriched uranium, well beyond what is normally needed for peaceful nuclear energy.
In response to the Americans meeting Khamenei’s demands, the Iranian supreme leader responded by publicly announcing that Iran has never sought and will never seek nuclear weapons as it regards possession of such weapons a great sin.
Other Iranian officials did their part by announcing that the cooperation with the IAEA will continue to once again show the world that claims of Iran wanting a nuclear bomb are unfounded.
In this high-stakes game, Iranian leaders believe Obama is hamstrung by politics, and even if war comes, ultimately Russia and China will intervene to support Iran, demanding a cease-fire and therefore giving Iran a victory similar to the outcome of the 2006 Hezbollah-Israel war.
Though an election year, Obama must know that radicals ruling Iran, if given time, will obtain nuclear weapons, changing the world as we know it forever, no matter who is in the White House come 2013.

Alan Note: my sources say the Mullahs are shuddering, some in fits of laughter, at the pressure being brought to bear on our State Depatment to remove the Mojaheddin-e Khalgh (MEK) from the U.S. Terrorist list. As most of Europe has already done and even Federal Courts in the USA have decreed should happen but the Obama Administration refuses to let Hillary Clinton from doing. So they can live in newly acquired lodgings since they lost Camp Ashraf in Iraq.
The shudders are the fear of losing this perfect bogey-man or stalking horse to distract everyone from the real danger the Mullahs pose.
The giggles, those "dangerous" MEK operatives, who committed acts of terror against the late Shah and killed some Americans, trained as a military force with some tanks and military arms - OVER THIRTY YEARS AGO - would today, generally, be over at LEAST 50-years old and NOT a viable strike force against the Mullahs.
Reportedly there is a rising support , inside Iran, toward Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi taking a leadership position in overthrowing the clerics. Faced with withdrawal of even previously minimal funds AVAILABLE to overthrow the Mullahs from the U.S. State Department by Hillary Clinton shortly after Obama entered the White House, His Imperial Highness, with little or no funding to launch and supply a movement has pragmatically played a low key role.
Except in a public relations effort to try to dissuade a military attack on Islamic Iran by Israel or America. In this, to protect his people, he has parallelled efforts with the clerics, who have funded and launched a widespread Media campaign, all kinds of seminars by their shills like Trita Parsi and an organization, among others, named to appear to represent the people and not the Mullahs who pay them.
The only ones making sense in the midst of all this are those who are pushing a regime change using the students who poured into the streets in protest to fraudulent elections in 2009 where Obama deceitfully failed to support them in case they got rid of his Mullah buddies.
Even noting that their leaders were themselves clerics or had rivers of blood on their hands like Mousavi and were NOT trying to force a regime change but only a "leadership" change for their own ends, this would be a totally disruptive start which, if protected , nurtured and funded, would create enough chaos for a next step take-over by others. Preferably by a fully funded Prince Reza who has name and face recognition inside the country - and around the world.
What oposition groups may need to keep in focus is that while an Israeli attack may shed blood and many lives would be lost - since the nuclear sites are built close to or under major population centers, despite the Dhimmi APOLOGIST warnings that the populace would rally around the Mullahs, those same people would rapidly turn on the Mullahs for allowing, or being the cause, for this to happen to them.
Anger against "foreign" perpetrators can be quickly redirected at the less than popular clerics, who can be easily tagged as Arabic Islamist "foreigners/invaders" with an emerging hint to return to traditional, cultural Persian Zoroastrianism to weaken Islam returning.
In fact the slogan for the anti-mullah movement should be "Think Good thoughts - Speak Good Words - Do Good Deeds"! The basic, universally appealing tenets of Zoroastrianism. Specially for a hurting, abused populace.
Given the means and platform even I could make it stick, so trained PsyOps people addressing a nation that is still mostly under 30-years old and full of hope, specially release from the Mullah inflicted pain - this makes a perfect "replacement" to fill the ensuing "void". Riding in on the back of ancient Persian culture and tradition to bolster it and give it credence.
Sadly, conflicting and opposing factions, including Islamists who want a place at the Persian political table or greedy to be at the Persian oil revenue trough, will strive to self-servingly complicate an otherwise relatively simple mind project.
I could not find a way to embed this video for you to watch directly but it can be shared on Twitter and Facebook or by Email, so PLEASE go to the link and listen to a man who has YOUR and your children's best interests in mind and FOR OUR NATION and spread the word.
He has already had great accomplishments in his political career and if you set his personal life mistakes ABOVE YOUR survival then you are idiots and deserve to sink with Obama instead of rising out of the current mess and succeeding with Newt Gingrich.
Listen, to the whole video, wrap your mind around what he says, think it through - THEN decide if he is not the very best person to take you into the future you would want for yourself and for your children and family!
Remember above all, he has been there and DONE THAT or been around while it was happening under his guidance and nudging.
Do you really think that brushing him off for his personal peccadilloes, decades ago, instead of welcoming him as a VIABLE, experienced solution to what ails all of us, is a wise, clever move?
Or any different to cutting off your nose to spite your face?
He talks of REAL change based on ability AND REALITY, NOT Obambi's "hopey-changey" that has NOT worked but has even put all our futures in danger.
People! This is a no brainer. Use your heads not silly emotions that ignorant, inexperienced Obambi offered and resulted in failed policies. Obama never had a clue! And still doesn't.
Romney may have some destructive business experience but like Obama totally inadequate knowledge on how to achieve results in Washington D.C.
Take a look at Romney's effort, with all his money and organization, to set up a political meeting in a stadium.
He had 65,000 EMPTY seats to listen to his campaign speech!!!
Romney talks to empty stadium!
And you want someone like that to run our HUGE country? Handle Congress? Get bills through the Senate? Are you kidding?
Gingrich has a terrific brain and great depth of experience - even adversity - so that among any candidates - Republican or Democrat - he is the one who CAN make it happen for us!
(Obama): "Gas? Gas? Don't look at me! I'm the "messiah" of God... or Allah... or Lenin - and can do no wrong! Too late to blame Bush? Blame someone else! Throw my Energy Secretary Chu under the bus.
Force the price of gas up to European levels of $9 to give my idiotic algae and Solyndra type green energy projects a ridiculous advantage? He said it publicly not me! No, he should NOT have repeated what I told him privately!
Valerie
Anybody, but not me! How dare you? I have five more years over you naive morons. I am the moron in chief! Obey!
Willie Clinton the first black president? I'm blacker than him, even though my white and Arab blood line leaves me less African than the minimum required by Federal law to qualify and I 'll show you Teflon he could not even imagine.
And wait for my Michelle and Valerie Jarrett to take over after I'm done. I was the first black president, she, my wife, will be the first black woman president and my beloved assistant moron in chief, Valerie will help her rule.
You will have been trained what to eat, what to think, what to do, what medications you are allowed to use, to stop using vitamins which I will have banned, to rely on food stamps and my, or Michelle's generosity to survive. Remember, I now have the power to arrest any American without cause and imprison them indefinitely, so don't you dare thwart my socialist-marxist-islamic agenda.
Watch me reward my buddies while I punish you. And don't even dream of growing any of your family food need in your back yard or small land plots. You MUST depend on me or get arrested under the myriad laws and regulations hidden the HealthCare bill that you had to pass without reading before you could know what was hidden in it.
See how much control and money I have given myself inside it to hire a one million person civilian security force? To brainwash school children and instill my radicalism into their young minds. Hitler? Mussolini? Brown shirts? Black shirts youth? You ain't seen nothing yet till you see my blue shirts in operation.
Forget my tinny singing in public, wait till the school children sing my praises in class and allegiance to me instead of to the stupid Constitution.
And obey Islamic Sharia laws of Islam I am forcing on them and which an U.S. judge convert to Islam has already imposed in his court! (As detailed in the article above). I may be inexperienced and a street thug but I am becoming a powerful thug you need to fear and OBEY!
Iran Intelligence Minister
For those of you who fear Iran and worry about Israel, as I said to one of my people in the White House, F*ck Israel! The nuclear Iran I am helping reach weapon levels by refusing to allow them to be criticized, even their huge presence and daily slaughter in Syria, will remove Israel very soon, and will be on my side.
Will that mean Iran will be for America? Who cares. I'm not for America and never have been.
Why do you think I spent 20-years in Reverend Wright's congregation? And supported his g-d damn America sermons!
And illegally funded my trip with taxpayer money to Kenya as a Senator and supported candidate and my relative Odinga whose mobs burned Christians alive in their churches? My mother was an atheist, my supposed father a foreigner and a Moslem Arab with British nationality. Why would I support Christians? Give me one reason - except to fool the masses to get elected.
I apologize and bow to all Moslems as I have done repeatedly, specially now in Afghanistan. How dare the U.S. military burn my holy book? I am just as insulted as the Afghanis and the two soldiers who were shot should have died. They insulted Islam that is above everything, above the Constitution, above all laws except Allah's Sharia, even though this fluctuates as interpretations by Mullahs vary from place to place.
Immigration reform? What immigration. Islam respects no national borders so Moslem terrorists have a right to disregard our borders and I am helping them by suing any State that dares to get in their way. And drug traffic helps these Islamists fund their terror operations so I am not going to get in their way.
Perhaps after they realize how much I have helped they will appoint me the chief of a new global Caliphate that my terrorist buddies, the Moslem Brotherhood, who have a leadership presence in my White House are putting together with my help and regime changes of leaders of countries where they were banned. Who cares if this also removed allies of the USA? Stop trying to make me feel guilty for not being pro-America just because I'm president.
I'm an illegal, ineligible usurper who marvels at how easily I got myself put in power by Iran, Saudi Arabia and my disgustingly rich puppet master George Soros. When I finish destroying America I will be so popular with our enemies I will never have to worry about money again and will live in adoration by other thugs like the messiah I claim to be.
Alan Note: Obama has now solidly stated that he will be in the Oval office for the another FIVE years! (A bit like his visiting almost all the 57 States of America during his first presidential campaign).
A rising arrogance, fanned into flame by his own narcissistic nose in the air mindset and "enforced" from inside the private quarters of the White House by Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett plotting to make Michelle the first woman and first black woman PRESIDENT of the USA to REPLACE him, sooner or later, depending on 2012 voters, urges him onto a devastating UN-constitutional path and adopting, despite exculpatory denials when it so pleases him, as an excuse for high gas prices that he is not a king and has to listen to Congress. Yet, he royally and illegally IGNORES Congressional subpoenas!
Realizing that he is either certain to be voted into the Oval Office (his primary mindset) he has advanced his agenda to do the most damage possible - as of now - since there will be nobody there to erase his slimy tracks after he wins. Or if he fails to get re-elected, he will have achieve the maximum destruction possible of the American way of life and have inculcated so much Marxism and Moslem Sharia into the American system of government and culture that it becomes almost irreparable.
He has more than enough money to go somewhere and live royally, while he watches America squirm and squeal in pain and misery from what he has imposed. NOt jsut on us but on many parts of the Globe.
As the article below brings to light, as to who decides on high level policy for America, the decision maker in the Oval Office and his evil minions, our worst enemies - and for terrorists, the rabid Moslem Brotherhood, the mother and Father of AlQaedah itself (as well as a progeny of offspring groups) and now with Obama's help Moslems are given new increased power in other countries.
Obama also stinks physically. According to reports, Michelle and her daughters complain he has pungent body odor which gets them to throw him out of bed when the female members of the family want to congregate together in the parental bed or bedroom.

Guess Who Decides What FBI Agents Get To Learn About Islam?
By Andrew C. McCarthy
February 22, 2012 4:39 P.M.
While we’re on the subject of the Muslim Brotherhood, this February 16 report from Steve Emerson at the Investigative Project on Terrorism will be an eye-opener. As I mentioned in my column over the weekend, the FBI — following the administration’s lead — is purging its training materials of publications that are deemed offensive to Muslims (you know, crazy stuff like claims that passages in the Koran and Hadith promote violent jihad, Islamic supremacism, killing of apostates, oppression of women, etc.). So what are the criteria the Bureau uses to figure out what materials are offensive?
And who decides?
You’ll never guess. Steve, who has been talking to some mighty outraged law-enforcement officials, writes:
It was just revealed two days ago that FBI Director Mueller secretly met on February 8 at FBI headquarters with a coalition of groups including various Islamist and militant Arabic groups who in the past have defended Hamas and Hizballah and have also issued blatantly anti-Semitic statements. At this meeting, the FBI revealed that it had removed more than 1000 presentations and curricula on Islam from FBI offices around the country that was deemed “offensive.” The FBI did not reveal what criteria was used to determine why material was considered “offensive” but knowledgeable law enforcement sources have told the IPT that it was these radical groups who made that determination. Moreover, numerous FBI agents have confirmed that from now on, FBI headquarters has banned all FBI offices from inviting any counter-terrorist specialists who are considered “anti-Islam” by Muslim Brotherhood front groups.
The February 8 FBI meeting was the culmination of a series of unpublicized directives issued in the last three months by top FBI officials to all its field offices to immediately recall and withdraw any presentation or curricula on Islam throughout the entire FBI. In fact, according to informed sources and undisclosed documents, the FBI directive was instigated by radical Muslim groups in the US who had repeatedly met with top officials of the Obama Administration to complain, among other things, that the mere usage of the term of “radical Islam” in FBI curricula was “offensive” and ‘racist.”
And thus, directives went out by Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Mueller to censor all such material. Included in the material destroyed or removed by the FBI and the DOJ were powerpoints and articles that defined jihad as “holy war” or presentations that portrayed the Muslim Brotherhood as an organization bent on taking over the world—a major tenet that the Muslim Brotherhood itself has publicly stated for decades.
A colossal, clear victory in the debate tonight for Newt Gingrich in Arizona!!
Make no mistake about it, this will have short and long term effects for Newt, especially after the performance of the other anti-Romney tonight, which was quite poor.
Newt will rise again as the process carries on and as he is seen as the Conservative who is prepared to combat Romney and Obama and win the White House in November!
I think that by the time the votes are counted in MI and AZ, Santorum’s bounce will have faded significantly, as well as his public perception as a candidate ready to debate Barack Obama on the issues.
It may have already begun tonight. Newt will fill that void once again.
By the time Super Tuesday comes around, I expect Newt to be the favorite to win in not only LA and GA, but TN and OK as well. I now move his expected delegate take now close to 150 for Super Tuesday, in my book
This is being played-off as a unanimous Newt victory, and it WAS!
Even Donald Trump, who has endorsed Mitt Romney, admitted Newt was excellent
By Mark McGrew (some independent edits by AntiMullah)
WARNING TO: Selfish insecure children (sucking at the breast of this Admnistration) and conservatives.
This is not a political promotion for any candidate. It is simply an observation of certain facts exposing a foregone conclusion.
Jeb Bush, ex-governor of Florida, the only republican in Florida history to be re-elected, brother of previous President George W. Bush and son of past president
George H. W. Bush, has been mentioned a few times in American news lately, with the word "president" in the discussion.
What I have not seen in American news was in China's Xinhuanet.com on January 17, 2012: "Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping met with former Governor of Florida Jeb Bush Tuesday at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, calling for closer cooperation between China and the United States."
On the 18th of January, China Daily reported "Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang met with former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in Beijing, urging the two countries to properly settle differences in bilateral relations and promote the healthy growth of relations."
That article also mentioned this: "The US delegation also included former Secretary of State George P. Shultz, former Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin and former US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen." Just some more private citizens making deals with China on matters of State?
Twelve days later, USAToday reported that George H. W. Bush and his son, Jeb Bush were in Washington D. C. for dinner and decided to drop in to the White House and see little Barry Soetoro.
How does a retired governor, currently a private citizen "call for closer cooperation" with any nation? And China meets with that private citizen? And what was the purpose of the backup detail that included two past Secretaries of State, one previous Treasury secretary and one past boss, of all the military bosses.
Major news in the USA has made whispered comments about Jeb Bush running for President. Al Cardenas, of the American Conservative union is quoted as saying, "Republican turmoil might lead to a brokered convention, in which Jeb Bush former Florida governor, would emerge as a possible 'alternative' party nominee".
There are comments currently being sold to Americans, such as "may have to draft Jeb Bush", "the election system is "fractured". If it is fractured, it needs fixing and the two major political parties are well adept at fixing elections.
If Jeb Bush had run against Obama in 2008, who would have voted for another 4 years of a Bush in the White House? The third Bush in the past 20 years as our President? 16 out of 20 years, for one family?
Being one of the most powerful families in the world that you are, you want what you want, so how do we get the American people to accept another Bush as President?
One way may be to put someone in that position, that so enrages the American citizenry, that they would vote for anybody, to get rid of the nasty guy (Obama).
(Alan note: As they were incited to do with W.Bush by "messianic" Obama).
The four Republican candidates now, are not acceptable to the American public. Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum have not proven they are constitutionally eligible to run for President. Newt Gingrich already did his job of enraging Americans, when he was Speaker of the House of Representatives. Most Americans still have that quaint Puritan notion that if "you cheat on your wife, you'll cheat on me".
Ron Paul, among the candidates may be the best choice for America as far as following the intent of the Constitution comes into play and its citizens, but the worst choice for the established powers. He may put them all in jail. But also risks making nice to terrorists like Iran and thus endangering our nation.
So theoretically, we will be presented with, yet again, the choice of picking the lesser of two evils.
Obama has gone to great lengths to insult and offend every person he deals with. Except a few very well chosen radical and financial supporters.
He is everything that America is not. He is a self admitted racist. He spent 20 years in a church where his pastor screams out, "God damn America!" He insults and degrades Christianity, while praising Islam and Muslims. He gives refuge to illegal aliens, suing states that try to uphold the written laws blocking them.
Above all, he has proven to be socialist, Marxist, fascist and communist all rolled into one bundle of misery for hundreds of millions of people all over the world. Including where he has tried to put the Moslem Brotherhood into power in North Africa and the Middle East.
Most people know the many anti-American, anti-Christian actions he has taken these past few years, so I won't use 25 pages here to begin listing them.
There is a guide book for politicians, Kings, Queens, Presidents, Generals, Admirals, corporate CEOs and students. It has been studied and used for almost 500 years. Any person in the business of maneuvering people uses varieties of the principles in this book.
Niccolo Machiavelli published "The Prince" in the year 1515. People think of Machiavelli as someone who advocates deceit, evilness and deception in acquiring or holding power. But that is wrong.
Throughout his book, he advocates treating people as you would want to be treated and includes a huge "BUT........there are people who you will deal with who do not have good morals and you must know how to fight using the rules of man and the rules of the beast."
His comments regarding treachery and deceit are the ones most often referred to as expressing a Machiavellian concept. So, he's gotten some really bad and underserved press through the years, as one skunk or another, twists his words.
But his rules are the rules that have been used by successful leaders for thousands of years. Machiavelli didn't make those rules. He only reports on certain leader's successful policies and the breaking of certain rules that lead to their downfall.
I will show you some of the rules in Machiavelli's guide that Obama has broken, I think, intentionally, with a preconceived agenda..
Machiavelli says it is very important to show the five virtues that any populace seeks in their leader. He does not say that a leader "must" have those virtues, but "must appear" to have those virtues. Because, these five virtues are in most men and they want the same in their leader.
Those virtues are: Mercy, honesty, humaneness, uprightness and religiousness.
With Obama we only see these as:
Mercy: The only mercy we see is his mercy to enemies of America.
Honesty: He lies about everything. Even Obama adorers know that now.
Humaneness: He ridicules suffering Americans and nobody saw any humaneness when NATO bombed Libya. A humane person does not declare himself to have the authority to murder any citizen he chooses, imprison any citizen without right to legal counsel, trial or even any charges brought against him and does not authorize stripping citizenship away from people who complain about his policies. (As Obama has done, unconstitutionally by Executive Order and hidden within his HealthCare law).
Uprightness: He is not upright about anything. "Uppity" maybe, but not upright. Everything except his multitude golf games, weird White House parties including a FORMAL State dinner for the Chinese and horrendously expensive vacations costing tax-payers TENS of Millions, or tourist trips with his family, disguised as official business like the three day jaunt to India, which cost over $40 Million - are hidden from the public.
Alan note: Michelle Obama is on Vacation number SIXTEEN (in under THREE years) skiing with her kids in Aspen, Colorado at mostly tax payer expense!
Religiousness: He ignores America's Christian celebrations like Easter, downplays Christmas and elevates Hanukkah and Ramadan. He degrades the Bible and mocks it. He mocks Christian values while forcing Islamic Sharia law guidelines into his Administration policies and onto America.
So he violates all five of Machiavelli's recommendations. Is he really that arrogant and ignorant of what qualities people want to see in their leader? He can be, and succeeds, because violating these five virtues, does not necessarily equate to failure and overthrow.
PRESIDENTIAL?
If today, Machiavelli were called in to counsel Obama, the first thing he would say to Obama would probably be something like, "Put that cigarette out and get your damn feet off the furniture!"
Machiavelli had observed and studied much of history regarding many successful people. He learned and taught that it is necessary for a leader to be respected. The leader can earn that respect by the people either loving him or fearing him. He does not recommend which method is preferable, but he does advise that "men love of their own free will, but fear at the will of the Prince".
Great men and women through the ages have used both love and fear to stimulate respect. Some have survived and prospered, because of their people's love for their leader. Some have survived and prospered, because of the fear of their people for their leader. And some have created both love and fear in their people to earn their respect.
Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin have all profited off of the love and fear method of obtaining respect.
Obama has destroyed any respect that sensible people ever had for him. The only people who respect Obama are people who have something to gain from him or are hard core racists.
And, history has many examples of leaders who were not respected by their people, but still survived.
So, according to the rules laid out by history, Obama can still survive and possibly win another election in November.
Except for one mistake, that also, can only be intentional. A mistake that was designed to instill in the American people, a very strong and intense desire, to vote for anyone, except the current president. A desire to vote for someone they would not necessarily vote for in normal circumstances.
These are not normal circumstances and that one mistake is "hate".
Machiavelli, in chapter 2 of his guide, under the title "Concerning Hereditary Principalities", says, "unless extraordinary vices cause him to be hated, it is reasonable to expect that his subjects will be naturally well disposed towards him".
In chapter 10, titled, "Concerning The Way In Which The Strength Of All Principalities Ought To Be Measured", he says, "and it will be seen not to be an easy thing to attack one who has his town well fortified, and is not hated by his people."
In chapter 16, titled "Concerning Liberalty and Meaness" he says, "And there is nothing wastes so rapidly as liberality, for even whilst you exercise it you lose the power to do so, and so become either poor or despised, or else, in avoiding poverty, rapacious and hated. And a prince should guard himself, above all things, against being despised and hated; and liberality leads you to both. Therefore it is wiser to have a reputation for meanness which brings reproach without hatred, than to be compelled through seeking a reputation for liberality to incur a name for rapacity which begets reproach with hatred."
In chapter 17, "Concerning Clemency And Cruelty, And Whether It Is Better To Be Loved Than Feared", he says, "Nevertheless a prince ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he does not win love, he avoids hatred; because he can endure very well being feared whilst he is not hated".
In chapter 19, "That One Should Avoid Being Despised And Hated", he says, "that the prince must consider, as has been in part said before, how to avoid those things which will make him hated" and "It makes him hated above all things, as I have said, to be rapacious, and to be a violator of the property and women of his subjects, from both of which he must abstain." And, "But concerning his subjects, when affairs outside are disturbed he has only to fear that they will conspire secretly, from which a prince can easily secure himself by avoiding being hated and despised," and "And one of the most efficacious remedies that a prince can have against conspiracies is not to be hated and despised by the people," And further, "I consider that a prince ought to cherish the nobles, but not so as to make himself hated by the people."
And "princes cannot help being hated by someone, they ought, in the first place, to avoid being hated by every one," and "Marcus Aurelius............being possessed of many virtues which made him respected, he always kept both orders in their places whilst he lived, and was neither hated nor despised." And "he will find him feared and respected by every one, and not hated by the army;" and regarding another man, "He became hated by the whole world, and also feared by those he had around him, to such an extent that he was murdered in the midst of his army by a centurion." And "he fell into contempt with the soldiers, and being hated by one party and despised by the other, he was conspired against and killed." And "This he did not possess for long, for two things made him hated and despised".
Chapter 20 refers to "hate" five times.
Machiavelli spent a great deal of time and eloquence in trying to make it crystal clear, that "Hate" is something very, very destructive to a leader. Perhaps the most destructive situation a leader can be in.
(Alan note: Obama and his wife have fallen into fanning hate and racist division into America and some Moslem countries, on a daily basis).
Making people hate you is the most disastrous thing that a person in charge can do. And making people hate you, is the easiest job Obama has. It just comes naturally to him.
Jeb Bush is not hated. The Bush family is not hated by a large number of people and as stated above by Machiavelli, you can't prevent some people from hating you.
Jeb Bush was fairly well liked in Florida and he did some good things for the people of Florida. The first republican to be re-elected in Florida history has got to mean something.
There are no crazy scandals in Mr. Bush's life. His daughter Noelle, had a bit of a drug problem, but she wasn't selling guns to Mexican drug cartels, like a President's Attorney General we know. She didn't open the Mexican border, like a President's Homeland Security head that we know, so that drug dealers could flood America with drugs. She didn't launder drug cartel money for them, like Obama's Drug Enforcement Administration got caught doing.
She wrecked a couple of cars, but she didn't wreck the country. She didn't wreck millions of people's lives here and abroad. She didn't make a train wreck out of "The Full Faith and Trust of the American Government".
The Bush family has no history of socialism, Marxism or fascism. They know that America is the Golden Goose for their fortunes and they do the same as anyone with money does. They try to protect it. The Bush family is not about to kill their Golden Goose. (As well as bankrupting all of us as Obama is doing).
The people who work with the Bush family are stable and successful people, all of them are goal oriented and success motivated. They made their money by working for it and providing a valuable service. They didn't take socialist style handouts and they don't believe in giving them out to people who can't produce a profit with it.
The Bush family and their helpers are wealth builders, not "re-distributors" of other people's money. They are excellent money managers and excellent people managers. And they have at least 30-years experience running elections.
Who would the majority of American's vote for? A man who has spent 4 years lying to them, taking their homes, destroying their businesses, shipping their careers overseas, importing cheap foreign labor to displace them from their jobs, who insults and ridicules them every chance he gets? Or someone who has done none of the above?
Why would the people who control America's elections put up three Republican un-winnable candidates and a fourth who they just ignore and pretend doesn't exist? Because the system needs to be fixed?
I imagine that in early Spring, the major media will begin telling wonderful stories of Jeb Bush and continue the increasing accusations against Obama. Taking his fraud apart, slowly, piece by piece.
The American people will be treated to daily stories of how wonderful the Bush family is, the contributions they have made to America and gently nod towards Jeb Bush.
By the time November comes, the media who taught America to love a man who did not exist, had no past, no family, no history, and no love for America and preaches hate, will then teach all of us why we should hate Obama.
Little by little, human interest stories of what a good man Jeb Bush is and what a good family he comes from, will travel through the airwaves.
America's historic voting choices of electing the lesser of two evils will end and we will have a choice of an "apparent" good man or an "apparent" evil man.
And it will be apparent to a very few, that Obama was jammed down America's throat, only to make a place for Jeb Bush.
The men who run American politics are very intelligent and experienced. They are not ignorant of Machiavelli's observations. They knew exactly what Americans would feel, with three years of the Obama fraud.
If nothing else, Obama forced the loyal American patriots to wake up, get off their butts and start helping their country. The sleeping giant has awakened.
And maybe, that was (father) George H. W. Bush's intention all along. Of all the most interesting and influential people in the past 150 years, he is, the number one, "Master of the Game".

============================================
WATCH THESE VIDEOS and ask yourself are you still the silly, immature, naive "believer" who voted for false messiah/prophet Obambi the last time around?
Happy now? Or have you matured enough in the last three years or so of policy disaster after policy disaster, to correct your mistake? And vote him out?
Unless the Supreme Court wakes up that any unrest from his supporters will be far LESS than the destruction the ineligible usurper causes and leaves behind him or MULTIPLIES by many a thousand-fold if he hangs onto the Oval Office.
IN CASE YOU MISS IT in the Video, HERE WE GO AGAIN!
BACK AT YOU (from our kids and future generations)!!
Alan Note: taking a repeated look at the pervasive infiltration of radical Islam's shills into our society and the disproportional influence they muster under the Moslem protector Obama can be mindboggling at the bias evidenced in the White House or the Eric Holder Dept. of INjustice!
For instance, the Islamist Obama's fervent attack on Catholics/Christians via contraception, in reality a power grab of the Executive telling Religion (usually exempt for conscientious objection reasons) ) and others what they MUST do or else, has an interesting sidebar. Islamists were secretly informed that they have already been givena waiver and none of this would apply to them!
Even the aspect of exempting the churches and charities and TELLING insurers they must provide free contraception is bogus as it means that Catholic insurance companies cannot exist and remain in compliance! Nor can the self-insured Catholic organizations.
What is next that Obama will order people to do (according to his total abrogation and repudiation of our Constitutional rights and freedoms)? Bow to Mecca five times a day because that's what Moslems do and it is a great form of exercise and we must become healthier as a nation? So even if we are NOT Moslems and conscientiously object to Sharia and having to do this, we MUST do as he says - it's good for our health.
And bad for our health if we refuse and cost us a fortune in fines and penalties! In some cases face arrest and incarceration for disobedeince - as is the general case in the Moslem countries he admires and supports but made even worse when he shoved their rulers and replaced them with MUCH WORSE Moslem Brotherhood factions, which had no chance to get into this much power till he removed obstacles those former "Moslem" leaders set up against the Brotherhood and Iranian style of brutal, ruthless administration.
Iran, currently behind the brutal Syrian slaughter is causing an even greater rabidly "Islamic" opposition infiltration by Iraqi Al Qaeda and Botherhood influence (founders of Al Qaeda) to grab ascendency in Syria.
The icing on the cake for Obama in all this, specially after Egypt's changes, is that Syria provides an equally close path to destroying Israel.
Unless he is removed from power, ObaHussein may well go down in history as a far worse global curse than Hitler, Stalin or lesser ones like Khomeini.
Not even simpleton Carter, with his Communist mental abberations and his giving rise to terrorism around the world, from which we still suffer, can ever achieve the level of destruction being waged upon us by Obama.

In case you thought the title was referring to the Palestinians living in Gaza, or even Judea and Samaria, you’d be wrong. From my vantage point, these Palestinians have it pretty good, whether in relation to Palestinians living elsewhere, even in Jordan, or to Arabs generally, living in Egypt or Turkey.
“Palestinian” is a name given to Arabs after the ’67 War, who lived or did live in the area known as Palestine during the Palestine Mandate and afterwards right up to the present and includes their descendants even if such descendants never set foot in the area known as Palestine.
Whereas United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR) has resettled tens of millions of refugees since WWII, United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is a relief and human development agency, providing education, health care, social services and emergency aid to 5 million Palestine refugees living in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, as well as in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. UNRWA was specifically created to maintain the refugee status, not to end it.
Under UNRWA’s operational definition, Palestine refugees are people whose normal place of residence was Palestine between June 1946 and May 1948, who lost both their homes and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict. It also includes their descendants.
The world is focused excessively on the “poor Palestinians” living in Gaza or Judea and Samaria and ignores the Palestinian refugees living in Lebanon, Syria or Jordan where they number in excess of 400,000, 450,000 and about 2,000,000 respectively. To add to the picture UNRWA had listed in 2010 in excess of 775,000 refugees in the West Bank and 1.1 million in Gaza.
As of January 2010, UNRWA cites 1,396,368 registered refugees in camps and 3,370,302 registered refugees not in camps”. And of course there are millions of Palestinians who are not refugees.
The Arab League has instructed its members to deny citizenship to Palestinian Arab refugees (or their descendants) “to avoid dissolution of their identity and protect their right to return to their homeland”.
Lebanon
“Palestinians are deprived of certain basic rights. Lebanon barred Palestinian refugees from 73 job categories including professions such as medicine, law and engineering. They are not allowed to own property, and even need a special permit to leave their refugee camps. Unlike other foreigners in Lebanon, they are denied access to the Lebanese health care system. The Lebanese government refused to grant them work permits or permission to own land. The number of restrictions has been mounting since 1990”
According to a major report titled, Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon by Sherifa Shafie:
“There is a lot of poverty and the unemployment rate is very high. The area of land allocated to the camps has remained the same since 1948. Thus in the more populated camps, the refugees could only expand upwards. Construction is not controlled and buildings do not conform to international safety standards. [..]
“Palestinian refugees in Lebanon have the worst socio-economic situation in UNRWA’s five areas of operations with the highest percentage of Special Hardship Cases (SHCs). [..]
“..since the early 1990’s, Lebanon has placed immense restrictions on the Palestinians in the form of legislation: Palestinian refugees have no political, social or civil rights (UNRWA, 2002). Any question of granting them rights is seen as a step towards permanent integration (USCR Report, 1999: 2). Palestinian refugees in Lebanon are discriminated against and harassed on a daily basis. They are liable to be arrested, detained and harassed by security forces, as well as by rival Palestinians.”
Lebanon: Exiled and suffering: Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, published by Amnesty International in Oct 2007 was summarized by them as follows:
“This report deals with the appalling social and economic conditions of these refugees, most of whom live in war-torn camps. The discrimination and marginalization suffered by the Palestinian refugees contribute to high levels of unemployment, low wages and poor working conditions. The resultant poverty is exacerbated by restrictions placed on their access to state education and social services.”
Syria
Palestinians are treated much better in Syria than in Lebanon or Jordan.
According to a study titled Palestinian Refugees in Syria by the same Sherifa Shafie;
Palestinians in Syria have the “same duties and responsibilities as Syrian citizens other than nationality and political rights.” and are “granted freedom of movement in all parts of Syria.”. They “do not require work permits, they may work in the government, and men must undertake military service (in the Palestine Liberation Army under the Syrian Command). They have the right to own businesses. They also have the right to join labour unions.”
Nevertheless, Shafie reports
“In most of the UNRWA camps, house constructions remain very basic (UNRWA 2002) : houses are of mud or crude concrete blocks (Brand 1988: 625) . UNRWA is responsible for sewage disposal, solid waste disposal, and control of infestations. The Syrian government provides the basic utilities in the camps; however, the water supply is not constant, most streets are unpaved, and the water and sewage systems, where they exist, are in need of upgrading and repair (UNRWA 2002) .”
In August 2011, the Guardian reported Syria assault on Latakia drives 5,000 Palestinians from refugee camp as “gunships blasted waterfront districts on Sunday in Ltakia, and his ground troops and security forces backed by tanks and armored vehicles stormed several neighborhoods,
Jordan
In Jordan, less than 20% of the refugees live in camps. This is because when Jordan purported to annex the West Bank after the ’48 War, it granted all the Palestinians living there and in Jordan proper, citizenship. After the ’67 War in which Israel regained Judea and Samaria, many more Palestinians fled to Jordan and over the years since, many Palestinians from the West Bank emigrated there. It is estimated today that the number of Palestinians in Jordan total in excess of 5,000,000 of which only about 2 million are registered refugees. They constitute about 75% of the total population of Jordan. Given this fact and the fact that the West Bank has approximately 1.5 million Palestinians, one might rightfully argue that Jordan is the Palestinian homeland.
According to Wikipedia,
Former UNRWA chief-attorney James G. Lindsay says: “In Jordan, where 2 million Palestinian refugees live, all but 167,000 have citizenship, and are fully eligible for government services including education and health care.”
Palestinians who moved from the West Bank (whether refugees or not) to Jordan, are issued yellow ID cards to distinguish them from the Palestinians of the “official 10 refugee camps” in Jordan. Since 1988, thousands of those yellow-ID card Palestinians had their Jordanian citizenship revoked in order to prevent the possibility that they might become permanent residents of the country. Jordan’s Interior Minister Nayef al-Kadi said. It is estimated that over 40,000 Palestinians have been affected in the preceding months.
Mudar Zahran, a Jordanian of Palestinian origin, has in the last year written a number of articles which describe the plight of the Palestinians in Jordan. In Jordan is Palestine, published by the Mid East Quarterly, he writes;
“In most countries with a record of human rights violations, vulnerable minorities are the typical victims. This has not been the case in Jordan where a Palestinian majority has been discriminated against by the ruling Hashemite dynasty, propped up by a minority Bedouin population, from the moment it occupied Judea and Samaria during the 1948 war (these territories were annexed to Jordan in April 1950 to become the kingdom’s West Bank).
“As a result, the Palestinians of Jordan find themselves discriminated against in government and legislative positions as the number of Palestinian government ministers and parliamentarians decreases; there is not a single Palestinian serving as governor of any of Jordan’s twelve governorships.[3]
“Jordanian Palestinians are encumbered with tariffs of up to 200 percent for an average family sedan, a fixed 16-percent sales tax, a high corporate tax, and an inescapable income tax. Most of their Bedouin fellow citizens, meanwhile, do not have to worry about most of these duties as they are servicemen or public servants who get a free pass. Servicemen or public employees even have their own government-subsidized stores, which sell food items and household goods at lower prices than what others have to pay,[4] and the Military Consumer Corporation, which is a massive retailer restricted to Jordanian servicemen, has not increased prices despite inflation.[5]”
“Decades of such practices have left the Palestinians in Jordan with no political representation, no access to power, no competitive education, and restrictions in the only field in which they can excel: business.”
Palestinians in Jordan have also developed an intense hatred of the military as they are not allowed to join the army; they see Bedouin servicemen getting advantages in state education and health care, home taxes, and even tariff exemption on luxury vehicles.[29]
Wikipedia amplifies this:
“There is discrimination against urban areas which consists predominantly of Jordanians of Palestinian origin. This point is argued by Ryan [17] who maintains that the parliament has been dominated by conservative tribal leaders through the manipulation of electoral districts. He has described the institution as a gerrymandered parliament. Jordanian electoral districts are unequal in size, with electoral law over-represents rural conservative districts whilst under-representing urban areas which tend to be the historical base of Palestinian or Islamist support. Some constituencies have seven times as many constituents as others yet have the same number of parliamentary seats [18]. The strategy has resulted in a parliament overwhelmingly representing people from ethnic Transjordan and conservative background governed by tribal affiliations.
West Bank
The Arab Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza have the right to form a government and govern themselves within the confines of the Oslo Accords. Their government known as the Palestinian Authority (PA) has full autonomy in all matters save for a limitation on matters of security affecting Israel. How they govern themselves is up to them. In effect the Palestinians elect Palestinians to govern them. Whereas in Jordan, the Palestinians are severely underrepresented in the Chamber of Deputies where the minority Bedouin hold sway. If that wasn’t bad enough, all executive power is vested in the King.
It can safely be said that the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are the authors of their own misfortune. In their past elections, they choose parties, whether Fatah or Hamas, that are wedded to the “resistance” which is a euphemism for terrorism. The result of this “resistance” whether in the form of thousands of rockets fired from Gaza into civilian areas in Israel or the deployment of suicide bombers by Fatah in Jerusalem and Israel generally, Israel has placed restrictions on them such as a legal blockade of Gaza and travel restrictions in the West Bank. These restrictions are for security purposes only and not intended as punishment. Nevertheless, in the last three years, Israel has been easing these restrictions, and as a result, the Palestinian economy in the West Bank is experiencing an astounding 7% growth rate.
The PA could at any time compromise their demands and have a state of their own but this they refuse to do. As Gov Romney recently said “It’s the Palestinians who don’t want a two-state solution; they want to eliminate the State of Israel,”
But the Palestinians living in Jordan who have citizenship have no say in their present condition or in their destiny. Their fate is dependent on what the PA chooses to do yet they have no vote in PA elections. Nor do they have a say equivalent to their numbers in Jordan due to the gerrymandering above noted. In cables released by Wikileaks, the U.S. Embassy was talking about a deal to integrate the Palestinians into the political system in Jordan in exchange for them abandoning their illusory right of return. Needless to say, the King went ballistic.
It is the Palestinians in Lebanon and Jordan who are the poor Palestinians.
