Hey Buddy, Can You Spare $38,500 to Save My Ass

Diogenes Sarcastica™

Obama has shattered the amount of time and number of events

any president has ever spent to focus on saving their own job.

Mark Knoller - CBS

By day's end, President Obama will hit 100 on the campaign fundraising scoreboard.

He reaches the century mark by doing four money-raising events for his re-election campaign during a seven-hour swing through New York City. The visit follows a speech this afternoon here in Nashua, New Hampshire on the energy components of his strategy to boost the economy and create jobs. It has taken Mr. Obama less than a year to do a hundred re-election fund-raisers since he officially filed his candidacy for a second term with the Federal Election Commission on April 4, 2011.

The hard-driving effort to raise money has taken Mr. Obama to 13 states. The contributions taken in at Mr. Obama's fundraisers go to the Obama Victory Fund, an entity set up to raise funds simultaneously for the Obama for America campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

The most well-heeled contributors are asked to contribute $35,800 each. It's the legal maximum under FEC rules and get split this way:

$2500 maximum to Obama campaign primary campaign

$2500 maximum to Obama campaign general election campaign

$30,800 maximum to the Democratic National Committee

The Obama campaign fundraising juggernaut has accumulated far more money than any presidential candidate.

The latest filing with the FEC shows the Obama campaign has raised over $140 million of which $106 million are from individual contributions. And as of January 31st, the campaign boasted a war chest of nearly $76 milllion collars "cash on hand." That compares to $63 million raised to date by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's campaign, which had $7.6 million to spend as of the end of January.

Money doesn't always buy a political victory, but in 2008, a vastly superior war chest was an undeniable factor in helping a junior senator from Illinois win the presidency in a campaign against Arizona Sen. John McCain.

As president, Mr. Obama has yet another fund-raising advantage. He can travel the country at relatively little cost to his campaign. When he flies to Los Angeles for a series of fund-raisers, his campaign pays only a minuscule fraction of the $180,000 per hour it costs to fly Air Force One.

Like its predecessors, the Obama White House refuses to disclose exactly how it calculates the costs of political travel to be reimbursed to the government by the Democratic National Committee or the Obama campaign.

Unlike his predecessors, Mr. Obama claims to run the most open and transparent White House in history. When it comes to details of political fundraising, the transparency is opaque.'

"The Day the U.S. Military Burned the "trash" (i.e. Bibles) in Afghanistan!

The day the US military burned the Bible in Afghanistan

By Todd Starnes, Fox News Commentary

Published March 02, 2012 | FoxNews.com

They burned the Bible.

In 2008 American troops confiscated, threw away, and burned God’s Word at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. The Bibles were written in the Pashto and Dari languages, and the Defense Department was concerned the books might somehow be used to convert Afghans.

The incident became public in 2009. Lt. Col. Mark Wright told CNN such religious outreach could endanger American troops and civilians because Afghanistan is a “devoutly Muslim country.”

But there was another reason the Bibles were confiscated. Military rules forbid troops from proselytizing in the country.

“The decision was made that it was a ‘force protection’ measure to throw them away because, if they did get out, it could be perceived by Afghans that the U.S. government or the U.S. military was trying to convert Muslims,” Wright said in the interview.

So that might explain why the Bibles were confiscated and thrown away, but why burn the Holy Scriptures?

Lt. Col. Wright explained to the news network that troops at posts in war zones are required to “burn their trash.”

Trash.

Trash.

Bee's NOTE:
We might want to ask this Administration:
1. Did anyone apologize to the American Christians for the burning of these Bibles?
2. How many soldiers were murdered by Christians when these Bibles were burned?
3. How many civil uprisings, demonstrations, flag burning were displayed after the burning of these Bibles?
4. How many threats of more killings were made after the burning of these Holy Bibles?
The answer is: NONE!
Perhaps Obama should begin teaching Islam "tolerance" ... after all, he continues to imply that all non-Muslims should have "tolerance" towards Islam. Practice what you preach, boy! Aha - one thing for sure and that is, tolerance is expected by Islam, but not practiced ... what a surprise!
And for all the cry-baby whining by these Muslims in America, a recent poll noticed that twice as many Mosques have been built in the United States since 9/11 .... Guess who's being "tolerant"?!

Christian child taught to pray

Muslim child - taught Jihad

And now, a brief message to Obama - from Allen West

Allen West to Obama: 'Please Stop with the Bin Laden Line, Navy SEALs Double-Tapped That Rascal'

Via Allen West/Facebook:

I agree with President Obama that he does not bluff, he prefers apologizing. Simply stated, talk is cheap when dealing with despots, dictators, autocrats, and theocrats. PM Netanyahu understands his neighborhood and we should defer to a former Israeli Commando on matters such as this instead of a community organizer.

I appreciate President Obama’s desire to seem tough but so far it has only resulted in the expansion of radical Islamist dominance in the middle east. And please stop with the Osama Bin Laden line, US Navy SEALS double-tapped that rascal.

Netanyahu warns international community of Iran ‘trap’

In Canada, PM says renewal of negotiations over nuclear issue will undermine sanctions and encourage Tehran’s evasive behavior

TTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday the international community should not fall into the “trap” of renewed nuclear talks with Iran, adding that he would not set any “red lines” that would trigger military action.

At a news conference with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Ottawa, Netanyahu also urged the international community to impose demands on Iran, including the dismantling of a key uranium enrichment facility and the shipment of all enriched uranium out of the Islamic Republic.

Netanyahu said Iran could enter nuclear talks to try to ease mounting pressure from tough new international sanctions, but he asserted this would be a tactic to buy time.

“It could pursue or exploit the talks as they have done in the past to deceive and to delay so that they can continue to advance their nuclear program and get to the nuclear finish line by running the clock,” Netanyahu said. “I think the international community should not fall into this trap.”

The international community should make its demands on Iran clear, he added: Dismantle the underground nuclear facility in Qom, stop the enrichment of uranium — a key element of bombmaking — and get all enriched uranium out of Iran.

“And when I say all the material, I mean all the material,” he said.

The Israeli prime minister spoke just days ahead of a crucial White House meeting where he and US President Barack Obama are expected to discuss how the suspect Iranian nuclear program should be handled.

Tehran announced months ago that it was stepping up enrichment at its Fordo site near the holy city of Qom to 20 percent. Anything above that level of enrichment would be considered indisputable evidence that Tehran was moving to weapons-grade operations.

Although Israel says it hasn’t decided whether to attack Iranian nuclear facilities, it has signaled readiness to do so. Some senior Israeli officials say Israel would have to act by summer in order to get at operations that Iran is moving deep underground to heavily fortified bunkers.

US officials, wary that an Israeli strike could drive up oil prices and entangle the US in a new Mideast military confrontation during this year’s presidential election season, want to give diplomacy and sanctions more time to work. The US, with its superior firepower, would have longer than Israel to attack.

Israeli leaders have strongly hinted that they want to hear clearer terms from Obama on what the United States would do if Iran were to cross the threshold from nuclear energy to nuclear weapons.

Netanyahu, apparently acknowledging US resistance to the Israeli demand, said at the news conference in Ottawa that “I have not drawn red lines, and I will not draw red lines for the US.”

DEFENSE MINISTER WARNS ABOUT IRAN'S 'SECRET WEAPONS'

WND EXCLUSIVE

'We have not yet revealed all of our capabilities'

Published: 3 days ago

By Reza Kahlili

In an interview with the Fars News Agency today,Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi claimed that Iran is in possession of secret weapons along with top secret capabilities that could be used to confront the United States.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has many hidden capabilities, which are kept for rainy days,” Vahidi said in the interview. “We have not yet revealed all our capabilities.”

Referring to the U.S. assets positioned in the Persian Gulf, Vahidi stated: “These days Americans badly fear that an incident happens in the region and they can’t stand against the Islamic Republic’s firm positions vis-à-vis that given event.”

Vahidi then, in an ominous warning to America, said, “Undoubtedly, since our defense is an independent and defensive one based on our own defensive policies, special defense doctrines and internal capabilities, the U.S. will face a completely new environment when [it] gets involved with the new issues that Iran is pursuing and it will be obliged to think of this new environment.”

The Iranian defense minister went on to say that the American armed forces’ passivity in a possible confrontation with the Islamic regime’s forces will be due to the fact that Iran has not shown all weapons in its arsenal.

Get “A Time to Betray” and read the warnings about Iran.

Vahidi is wanted by Interpol for the 1994 Jewish community center bombing in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that killed more than 80 people and injured 100.

Vahidi also, as the chief commander of the Guards’ intelligence unit,directed the Marine barracks bombing killing 241 U.S. servicemen. He has been involved in many other terror attacks that collaborated with Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and al-Qaida.

Today, Vahidi oversees the Islamic regime’s missile and nuclear program along with proliferation of arms to al-Qaida, Taliban, Hezbollah and other terrorist groups.

As revealed recently, Iran’s supreme leader has issued an order to activate all terror cells under his command, including the Quds forces and Hezbollah, to attack U.S. and Israeli interests in America and around the world. The Guards also have been ordered to prepare for missile attacks against U.S. military bases in the region and Israel and for the closing down of the Strait of Hormuz.

In a recent speech to students at a Tehran military college, the Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, stated, “Iran is not a nation to sit still and just observe threats from fragile materialist powers which are being eaten by worms from inside.”

He continued, “Anyone who harbors any thought of invading the Islamic Republic of Iran – or even if the thought crosses their mind – should be prepared to receive strong blows and the steel fists of the military, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, and the Basij…”

Ali Akbar Velayati, ex-Iranian foreign minister and current special adviser on foreign affairs to the Iranian supreme leader, openly acknowledged that the Iranian Quds forces have been involved with the Arab uprisings and are managing the events in the region, including in Iraq and Lebanon. It was the first time an Iranian official acknowledged the activities of Iran’s Quds forces, designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S.

Velayati is also wanted by courts in Argentina for his involvement in the Jewish community center bombing of 1994.

The secret weapon Vahidi cites could be that Iran already has a nuclear bomb.

As revealed in October, the Iranians actively approached the former Soviet republics after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and managed to get the bomb. Sources within the U.S. State Department have confirmed the acquisition, though it is unknown if the Iranians got the code.

One thing is clear, the radical leaders of the Islamic regime in Iran have crossed every red line in their pursuit of the nuclear bomb and currently have enough enriched uranium for six nuclear bombs.
