If you recall, Leftists (and then Demorats, later, when short memories had faded) said that GW Bush, 43rd president, went into Iraq for oil. The possibility that he was proffered faulty intelligence from a large number of domestic and foreign sources — then was supported by the US Congress — had little influence on Leftist opinion. Cogent information indicates whatever WMD Mr Hussein possessed moved into Syria. Purposely. Hussein made the threat in order to appear larger than life on screen, then took the step to transfer it from his soil.

Oddly enough, it seems that a far-Left Demorat president, Mr Obama, is treading upon the same identical steps as President Bush with one major difference: Bush didn’t do it for oil. The United States of America gets less oil from Iraq than before 9/11 — contrary to Leftists arguments.

And yet, Mr Obama — the prototypical “anti-war” president — has unilaterally decided to move into Libya under the guise of the UN. He simultaneously attempts to push sole-source code onto the UN but they defer to his move.

Does Libya directly threaten the United States? No. Does Libya even allegedly possess WMD devices and schemes? No. Further, in fact: Libya, during the term of Bush, unilaterally decided it would disarm itself of perceived WMD physicants precisely because it feared, at the time, the GW Bush 43 Focus.

Imagine that.

Senator Obama would NOT have voted or subscribed to the current Mr Obama’s movement into Libya. Does anyone, possibly besides myself, find that just a bit odd and dessicant?

Bueller?

Why Libya? Could it possibly be because of: Brent sweet crude?

Further: why not the US into Tunisia, into Syria, into Yemen, into Egypt, into Jordan, into Oman, into Kuwait, into the EAE, into Qatar, into Lebanon, into Sudan, into Eritrea, into Bahrain?

What makes Libya so special? I ask.

I submit: current OIL production.

And yet former Republican administrations were completely excoriated for this perception. Burned right to the very ground.

Go Obama. Make things right. Make drilling a priority. Make this a Logical Extension of your current policy.

But you won’t.

You hypocritical and ignorant, callow patsy.

And oh yeah: Trump asks for your certificate. He’s got his. You got yours?

Washington Times columnist Dr Milton Wolf writes:

Becoming the most hypocritical politician in America is not an easy goal to achieve, but New York’s Rep. Anthony Weiner, a Democrat, is up to the task.

Earlier this year, the Obama administration began rewarding its union friends and others with an escape from the clutches of Obamacare. Now one of the most outspoken Obamacare supporters – the man who actually said, “I wrote the bill … the bill and I are one” wants his own “get out of jail free” card from this abominable law.

Obamacare is already leaving a trail of destruction. Despite promises to the contrary, Mr. Obama’s own Medicare chief actuary estimates that up to 20 million Americans may lose their current health insurance. Despite promises to the contrary, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates Obamacare will destroy 800,000 jobs. Despite promises to the contrary, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius recently admitted cooking the books by double-counting $500 billion toward both Medicare savings and Obamacare implementation funds and admitted that a major program within Obamacare, the CLASS Act, is – in her words – “totally unsustainable.” As a direct result of this government takeover, many insurance companies already have been forced to raise their premiums or drop out of the Medicare Advantage program, while others no longer offer policies for children, and still others have simply closed their doors.

So how does the White House respond to this unraveling? With more waivers. HHS acknowledges issuing 1,040 “get out of jail free” cards to unions and other friends. Five states have been graced with their very own Obamacare waivers, including Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee and, newest pampered friend, Maine. Why Maine? According to the administration, Obamacare “has a reasonable likelihood of destabilizing the Maine individual health insurance market.”

Now Mr. Weiner wants in on the action. Why? He thinks escaping Obamacare would mean that New York City “can save money and have more control over its own destiny.” Regular Americans need not apply.

Such is the standard operating procedure for big-government types: Impose ever-increasing burdens on hardworking Americans who play by the rules and don’t have best friends in Washington or armies of lobbyists at their disposal or millions of dollars for campaign contributions. This sickening display shows that, at best, this administration is admitting that Obamacare is unraveling, in part, because its one-size-fits-all, big-government plan simply cannot accommodate all the unique needs of 310 million patients. At worst, its pay-for-play, politics-as-usual scheme is enriching administration cronies on the backs of everyone else. As Mr. Weiner said, “A lot of people who got waivers were … people who are our friends.”

The question remains: If Obamacare is such a great law, why does the White House keep exempting its best friends from it?

There is one person who has more power in this nation that the president, the Senate, the House, or anyone else.

That person would be SCOTUS Judge Anthony Kennedy.

He who has been the deciding vote for the past few years because — otherwise — Conservatives v Liberals are now, on SCOTUS, 4 to 4.

Sad to say that major SCOTUS edicts have come down to 5-to-4.

But, in truth, ObakaKare WILL come down to another 5-to-4 ruling.

Kennedy is the pivot point.

Which way will he go?

P.S.
Appointed by President Ronald Reagan, Kennedy assumed office on February 18th of 1988. Since the retirement of Sandra Day O’Connor, Kennedy has often been the “swing vote” on many of the Court’s politically charged 5–4 decisions.^[2][3][4]

Kennedy was born in my own home town, Sacramento, Fornicalia.

Sad to say, when 5-to-4 votes occur, Justice Kennedy has become the Prime Monarch.
