While the Repubs have trouble bringing up the ‘i-word’, I am not so encumbered. In an ongoing exchange with correspondents on the unbelievable utterances coming out of the White House, yesterday’s hubristic announcement by Obama was brought up (how in hell could you keep it down?). I replied to a question of whether we had seen it – “No, we saw Obama’s proud pronouncement yesterday that 1) he had no Mideast strategy, and 2) that it was “too early” to develop one. We went slack-jawed. I think that such a statement in time of a national security crisis is an impeachable act, if for nothing else, then prima facie evidence of clinical incompetency.
And to add insult to injury, this administration’s fetish with attempting to pass more crippling climate change legislation was highlighted by John Barrasso’s ‘Six Threats Bigger Than Climate Change’ this morning in the 29aug13 WSJ.

George,
Obama’s reply to the Mideast is beyond ridiculous, and 100 years from now, archaeologists viewing footage of this interview will have no choice but to assume they are watching archives of Saturday Night Live. His response was so elementary, its hard to even believe that anyone out there (short of the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz) still has faith in the man. Incompetence can no longer be the answer to such ineptitude, it must be an ulterior agenda to further undercut the pedestal built for America on the backs of previous generations. I am sure our lack of leadership will benefit us in future calamities, as evidenced today by the bold statements issued by Putin:

I don’t really think it matters if Romney is elected. The glideslope that the nation is on might flatten out a bit but in either case the end result is the same. At some point you auger in (sovereign insolvency, with all the associated unpleasantness).
I dropped the Romney topic because he seems to be back in the news these days. I’m wondering if the republicans are thinking of offering him up as a sacrificial lamb again in 2016.

That famed non-partisan, El Jefe, is carrying water for Jim Firth again, repeating Firth’s campaign call for local governments to come together to build a high class destination resort.
“Firth believes the planning concept is too big for any one entity to undertake and said it will require a joint effort involving engineers, contractors, financial consultants, chambers of commerce, government representatives and others. Firth said the expertise for planning and designing such a facility is available locally and that people will volunteer to help if asked.”
Isn’t that special? Nowhere in Firth’s (or Pelline’s) words is there a mention of actually trying to get a company that knows the resort business to be involved. Maybe even develop and operate.
“If elected on November 4, Firth said he would introduce an item under New Business at his first meeting aimed at getting the planning process started.”
Ah, the chuzpah of central planners. They do think they know better.

I always thought Nevada City wanted to be the center of our little universe (who cares if the courthouse is inconvenient to everybody else?), but apparently Firth wants Grass Valley to seize the title.
But Gregory is right: Firth’s just spinning wheels and wasting time until a big bucks developer steps up. (How about the Donald? That would get everybody excited.)
As far as Obama playing golf while the Middle East burns, every president has this image problem (the trendy term today is optics.)
Bush II took a lot of heat for flying around in Air Force 1 after the 9/11 attack, and Cheney dropped a few rungs on the macho scale by going into hiding. Then there was Bush bypassing New Orleans while Katrina was drowning the place.
Of course, sitting in the White House wouldn’t have changed any of these outcomes, but that doesn’t matter. People need to perceive that you’re taking your responsibilities seriously.

If developers wanted to build a resort here, they’d be knocking on the doors.
Real manufacturing is slowly hemorrhaging out of Nevada County to elsewhere, and that’s how wealth and steady income is generated; build stuff that goes out on trucks, and money is wired back in return. With that money, you can ship food and merchandise (like medicine, fuel, cars, appliances, paint… you know, all that stuff we don’t make here as efficiently as people do elsewhere) back in. An amazing concept.
A resort provides a few real jobs while it is built, then a bunch of low paying service jobs, which, I have to admit, to which most of the local schools are targeting their curriculums to, as science, math and engineering aren’t beckoning many local grads.
Sixth grade girls in Nevada County… how do you think their math scores compare to girls in the Los Angeles Unified School District, a typical poster child for all that is wrong with education? That’s when the arithmetic of fractions tends to have been solidified, the main precursor to algebra readiness. “STEM” readiness, if you will. Any guesses?

Did anyone see the Judicial Watch terror threat report today? They are saying they have multiple senior officials confirming that ISIS in in Juarez Mexico from electronic intercepts. Word is the Army Base in El Paso is prepping. All Law Enforcement along the border has been warned of potential car bombs and vehicle borne improvised explosive devices based on the ISIS chatter. At least the Brits ramped up their threat level while the obamanation says he has no strategy and is not raising the threat level as we approach 9/11. This all backs up the prior CIA reports of jihaddies and the cartels coordinating something. You have to wonder if they will fill a car or truck with a bunch of 17 year old gang bangers who ‘are fleeing the violence in their home country seeking asylum’. Well maybe Gov moonbeam will welcome them at the border. Starting to really feel like the lefty inmates are running the asylum in the democrat asylum in DC.

Yes,, I read that Don. But don’t count on “O” and Co. to heed that warning. ( They sure didn’t in Benghazi, and still deny it was terror related,) “O” even said when elected the first time that ” some attacks we will just have to absorb” . LIBS are in denial that attacks will happen, or believe that ” we deserve it, and have it coming.” 9/11 has become
thump on the U.S. day, and “go for it. They won’t do anything about it!”. See my Benghazi
statement above.
The thing is, (in my opinion) the next attack may be in “small town” USA. Be it Ca. AZ. NV. TX. Just a few hundred miles from the boarder, where “everyone” feels immune from such atrocities.( Nope,, it can NEVER happen here.) That’s where they would want to hit next. Right where we feel safest.
Then of course it would never be labeled a terror attack. ( not on “O”‘s watch)
Then watch the apologist in action once again.

Walt, your second paragraph nails it. Hit the soft targets like the substation in Silicon Valley that just got hit for the second time. PG & E reacted fast to prevent a power disruption to production facilities. These are the exact circumstances why there is a program to distribute surplus protective vehicles to law enforcement. I recall the opposition to cops in SF,LA,NY over the years about having larger cal. guns, SWAT teams and now protective vehicles that we already paid for. Remember the power of the Boston IED’s, consider them being set up to deny access to an area in layers as in Iraq. How about the setting is a chem. plant, refinery, reactor facility and so on. Our best and bravest from local jurisdictions would be the first to respond. They should not have to go into that in soft skinned vehicles. As a victims advocate I am fine with them being used to root out a wife beater with a big cal. gun who is barricaded with his victim and is too smart to expose himself to a head shot.

His pappy was Arab, his mommie was a full blown cracker, and that makes him about 7% black, and the lion’s share white Ahab.
Didn’t you ever wonder why 0bama had the head of NASA spend our dollars figuring out ways to make the Ahabs feel good about themselves and their numerous pioneering scientific discoveries and contributions to the wonderful world of STEM? One of the first things he did. Shoot howdy, they have the crescent moon on their Muslum flag, what more can we do?
Fast forward to 3 days ago when the FBI released its report on domestic terrorism and threats and every friggin raghead group was omitted. What does that tell ya?

Heck, they used to say commies have infiltrated the government and now Islums have infiltrated the government and the friggen Oral Office. Makes me long for the simpler less threatening days where interns were gobbling the goop. Can’t even utter the phrase Islumic terriorists or friggin radical Islums if you work for 0.
Big Zero puts his heritage of Ahabhood first and foremost and serving the best interests of us Gun clinging Bible thumpers way down the list. Vets, gun owners, Christians, and Tea Party types are called Terriorists by Big Zero’s directives and friggin baby killing women stoning Ragheads are not called terrorists.
