Hands down Obama is the worst president since WWII: poll

Poll after poll shows President Obama’s approval rating dipping recently, and one new Quinnipiac University Poll finds that voters say Mitt Romney would have been a better choice in 2012.
With Mr. Obama deploying military troops to Iraq, failing to find compromise with Congress and seeing major defeats in the Supreme Court, voters continue to sour on him.

Quinnipiac found 45 percent of voters say the country would have been better off if Mr. Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, had been elected, while just 38 percent say Mr. Obama remains a better choice. Even Democrats aren’t so sure — just 74 percent of them told the pollsters Mr. Obama was clearly the better pick in the last election.
Voters also rate him the worst president since World War II, topping even his predecessor, President George W. Bush, who had left office with terrible ratings.
“Over the span of 69 years of American history and 12 presidencies, President Barack Obama finds himself with President George W. Bush at the bottom of the popularity barrel,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
A Zogby Analytics Poll released Wednesday also found Mr. Obama slipping — in that survey, to 44 percent approval, while his disapproval leapt 4 percentage points from last month to reach 54 percent.
Nearly half of voters told the Zogby poll that Mr. Obama is “unable to lead the country.”

Army Fires Officers After Ordering Them to Move

A U.S. Army captain with more than a dozen years in the service, including multiple tours of duty in combat zones, assumed his job was safe.
The non-commissioned officer-turned-officer knew the service was downsizing after more than a decade of war. But he figured he'd be one of the lucky ones, in part because of his tours in Bosnia, Kosovo and, most recently, Afghanistan. What's more, he had just received orders to move to a new duty station.

So he and his wife, who's newly pregnant with their first child, signed a lease and put a deposit on a home at the family's next location. A few days later, he was called into his post's commanding general's office and informed that, effective almost immediately, he would no longer be in the military.
"I was led to believe that everything was good to go, and next thing you know, Monday morning, you're having to talk to the man," said the captain, who requested anonymity to speak freely about the incident and without professional repercussions. "You never think it's going to happen to you."
The Army last week began notifying about 1,100 captains that they will be purged from the ranks. The same fate is awaiting about 500 majors, who beginning this week will be told their active-duty careers are over. They're among nearly 2,500 officers and NCOs who will be involuntarily separated this year as part of an ongoing drawdown of forces.
After growing in size to 570,000 soldiers in 2008 at the height of the war in Iraq, the Army has less than 520,000 soldiers today and is on pace to shrink to 490,000 soldiers by next year. It's bracing for even further contraction driven by automatic budget cuts known as sequestration.
The Pentagon's proposed budget for fiscal 2015, which begins Oct. 1, calls for the service's headcount to decrease to 440,000 to 450,000 soldiers by fiscal 2017. If sequestration remains in effect, the number may fall to as low as 420,000 soldiers – tens of thousands less than what the Army's top officer, Gen. Raymond Odierno, said is needed to adequately respond to conflicts around the world.
Even officers who escaped the current round of dismissals criticized the move, saying it encourages talented leaders to leave the service.

Huge! Obama Busted! SEAL Team 6 Murder Weapon Supplied By Barack Obama!!!

In this HUGE newly released video from Western Journalism, we learn that Barack Obama supplied the murder weapon that took out SEAL Team 6. This excellent expose was produced, written, and edited by Kris Zane and narrated by Tom Hinchey.

Congressman Says Discovery of E-Mail “Likely to Start Impeachment of Obama”
On Monday, June 30^th, Congressman Mick Mulvaney from South Carolina’s 5^th district held a town hall meeting. Rep. Mulvaney took the time to explain what was happening in Washington D.C. and to answer questions from constituents. As might be expected, many of the questions centered on why President Obama has yet to be impeached. The Congressman spoke candidly to constituents about the steps necessary to produce articles of impeachment.
The Republican Congressman explained that although the GOP held the majority in the House, they were not in a position to control the actions of the democratically controlled Senate. He further detailed how among the 230 plus GOP member majority in the House, he estimated only 80-85 to be true conservatives. Which means the majority of Republicans in the House lack the courage to take such a huge political risk by introducing articles of impeachment.
However, Rep. Mulvaney passed on some earth shaking information that has the potential to finally bring not only articles of impeachment but an eventual conviction in the Senate. As Mulvaney explained that impeachment must come because of some felony action by the President and not merely from a political move or minor infraction, he opened the door to how such a felony may soon present itself.
Recently, both Democrats and Republicans were outraged by the President’s decision to ignore the law on the prisoner exchange for Bergdahl. According to the law, the President was required to notify Congress before such action could be taken and he did not. However, the law allows the President to act without Congressional knowledge in cases of emergency. So, not surprisingly the President claimed the Bergdahl trade had been conducted out of an urgent emergency which gave him the legal permission to act.

IRS admits committing felony to destroy Obama opponents 

In a disturbing display of how Obama's vindictive, ultra-partisan administration lawlessly abuses its power, the IRS has now been forced to admit that it committed a felony to undermine and sabotage a conservative group in the middle of a major national election...this time, for daring to disagree with Obama on gay marriage.
The National Organization for Marriage was awarded a $50,000 settlement from the IRS last week after the names and addresses of their donors were deliberately leaked to leftist thug groups like Human Rights Campaign, which then posted the data on its website and used it to conduct a vicious and relentless election-year intimidation campaign against the group's supporters.
The names and addresses were listed on a "Form 990 Schedule B," which is a confidential and protected tax document. Unnamed IRS officials serving in the Exempt Organizations Division under Lois Lerner (who pleaded the 5th once again in March and resigned to avoid criminal prosecution for related crimes) illegally released this information to groups that they knew would use it to target conservative donors.

Obama To Use Executive Order To Allow Unbelievable Amount Of Immigrants Into The US

According to President Obama, he is “not just going to sit around and wait” to write legislation until he gets approval. Most Americans did not need that statement to know that Obama could care less about what our government feels is truly best for our country.
Now, Obama may be evoking executive action to handle immigration laws.
“We’re not just going to sit around and wait interminably for Congress,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, “We’ve been waiting a year already. The president has tasked his Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson with reviewing what options are available to the president, what is at his disposal using his executive authority to try to address some of the problems that have been created by our broken immigration system.”
Earnest continued on to say that such action would not be “a substitute for robust Congressional action.”
What do you think about this bold statement? Should Obama be impeached before he makes more unilateral decisions?

Report: Millions Who Signed Up For Obamacare May Lose Coverage Because Of Widespread Data Flaws…

Via Fox News:

The Obama administration is struggling to resolve health insurance data discrepancies that could jeopardize coverage for millions, according to a watchdog report on the still-rocky implementation of ObamaCare.
Though the system’s troubles have faded from the headlines since the problem-plagued launch last October, a report from the inspector general of the Health and Human Services department provided the first independent look at widespread problems the government is having effectively fact-checking the information applicants are putting in the system when seeking insurance and subsidies.
According to the report, the administration was unable to resolve 2.6 million so-called “inconsistencies” out of a total of 2.9 million such problems from October through December, 2013.
The government needs to determine applicants’ eligibility in order to verify they can enroll and, in some cases, get government subsidies. Without that step, coverage could be jeopardized. And according to the report, those running the federal marketplace are having trouble resolving problems “even if applicants submitted appropriate documentation.”
“The Federal marketplace was generally incapable of resolving most inconsistencies,” the report said, claiming the government could not resolve 89 percent of the problems.

Privacy board: NSA's Internet monitoring is legal

WASHINGTON (AP) - The National Security Agency programs that collect huge volumes of Internet data within the United States pass constitutional muster and employ "reasonable" safeguards designed to protect the rights of Americans, an independent privacy and civil liberties board has found.
In a report released Tuesday night, the bipartisan, five-member Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, appointed by President Barack Obama, largely endorsed a set of NSA surveillance programs that have provoked worldwide controversy since they were disclosed last year by former NSA systems administrator Edward Snowden. However, they urged new internal intelligence agency safeguards designed to further guard against misuse.
Under a provision known as Section 702, added in 2008 to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, the NSA uses court orders and taps on fiber optic lines to target the data of foreigners living abroad when their emails, web chats, text messages and other communications traverse the U.S. Section 702 includes the so-called PRISM program, under which the NSA collects foreign intelligence from Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple and nearly every other major American technology firm.
Because worldwide Internet communications are intermingled on fiber optic lines and in the cloud, the collection inevitably sweeps in the communications of Americans with no connection to terrorism or foreign intelligence. Since the Snowden disclosures, activists have expressed concern that a secret intelligence agency is obtaining private American communications without individual warrants. Some have questioned how such a program could be legal under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.
The board, including a Democratic federal judge, two privacy experts and two former Republican Justice Department officials, found that the NSA monitoring was legal and reasonable and that the NSA and other agencies take steps to prevent misuse of Americans' data. Those steps include "minimization," that redacts the names of Americans from intelligence reports unless they are relevant.
The board's validation of the controversial NSA surveillance program stands in contrast to its last report in January, when it argued that the NSA's collection of domestic calling records under Section 215 was unconstitutional. The Obama administration disagreed but has proposed to overhaul the program by ending NSA's collection of the records.
"Overall, the board finds that the protections contained in the Section 702 minimization procedures are reasonably designed and implemented to ward against the exploitation of information acquired under the program for illegitimate purposes," said the report, which is to be voted on at a public meeting Wednesday in Washington. "The board has seen no trace of any such illegitimate activity associated with the program, or any attempt to intentionally circumvent legal limits."
That said, the board noted that the rules "potentially allow a great deal of private information about U.S. persons to be acquired by the government."
In some aspects, the board found, the programs push "close to the line of constitutional reasonableness. Such aspects include the unknown and potentially large scope of the incidental collection of U.S. persons' communications," and collection of communications about a target, such as a foreign terrorist organization, that could capture two innocent American discussing the organization.

Muslim Terrorists Crossing US/Mexican Border Leave Their Prayer Rug Behind

A local news station found Border Patrol documents that indicated that thousands of OTMs — “Other Than Mexicans” — have been caught crossing the Mexican border into the U.S., including some known terrorists.
But since that report, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has DENIED that there is any “credible evidence” that any terrorists have crossed over.
So the reporter took another look — and the evidence he found is even worse than originally revealed.
He found that 300 terrorists from the Somali Al Queda group Al-Shabaab — the group behind the terror attack at the Kenyan shopping mall last September – have entered the U.S. and are unaccounted for.

U.N. to intervene in Detroit water shutoffs

WND has learned that after issuing a statement last week condemning Detroit’s decision to send water shut-off notices to tens of thousands of customers behind in their payments, the U.N now plans to conduct confidential policy discussions with the Obama administration to be followed by a formal public report to the U.N. Human Rights Council.
On Monday, the U.N. Human Rights Council’s office in Geneva confirmed to WND that the U.N. plans to intervene directly in the Detroit water crisis, determined to apply international law to judge the U.S. in violation of human rights to safe water.
Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, DWSD, announced in March it would send shut-off notices to customers with balances more than $150 overdue or who are more than two months behind in their payments. The department, which said nearly half of the 324,000 water and sewerage accounts are overdue, has put out 46,000 notices since March. About 4,500 accounts have had their water shut off.
In response to a WND inquiry, Madoka Saji, a human rights officer in the Special Procedures Branch of the office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva, Switzerland, explained in an email Monday that the U.N. plans to intervene directly in the Detroit crisis, because the Human Rights Council has received formal allegations the Detroit water shut-off threatens to violate U.N.-established human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation mandates.
Saji explained that the U.N. High Commission on Human Rights special rapporteur on safe water and sanitation, Catarina de Albuquerque, must intervene directly with the U.S. government, first in a confidential manner and then in a public manner.

Bill Ayers’ Blunt Response When Asked by Megyn Kelly What It Would Take to ‘Make You Bomb This Country Again’

Megyn Kelly continued her tough line of questioning in part two of her confrontational interview with former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, which aired on Tuesday. During the culmination of the discussion, Kelly grilled Ayers on his relationship to President Barack Obama and asked him what it would take to “make you bomb this country again.”
Much has been made of the fact that Obama, who lived in the same neighborhood as Ayers at one point, attended an event at Ayers’ Chicago home as the future president prepared to run for Illinois state Senate. But Ayers claims he hardly knew Obama and doesn’t speak to him today.
“I knew him as well as he knew 10,000 other people,” Ayers aid. “Today, I wish I knew him much better and I wish he’d listen to me.”
Ayers also said he has not been in contact with Obama one time since he became president in 2008.
“Never — although I wish I were [in contact with him],” he added. “I want him to stop droning people, I want him to close Guantanamo, I want him to, you know, universal health care.”
Kelly later pressed Ayers on one of the more controversial statements he’s made since becoming an academic. He is quoted as saying, “I can’t quite imagine putting a bomb in a building today— all of that seems so distinctly part of then. But I can’t quite imagine entirely dismissing the possibility, either.”
Ayers confirmed that he can’t say for sure that he would never again rise up against the “violent” United States in a “very militant and serious way.” However, he said at 70 years old such a prospect is unlikely. Still, he made it clear he, like his wife, is not “committed” to an ideology of “nonviolence.”
