Obama “very close” to Afghan troop decision: TV report
At Your Service, my Lord!
BEIJING (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama said in an interview with CNN on Wednesday he is “very close” to a decision on boosting troop levels in Afghanistan and would make an announcement “in the next several weeks.”
In a transcript of the interview seen by Reuters, Obama said he did not want his successor as president to inherit the Afghan conflict, adding that a “multi-year occupation” would not serve the interests of the United States.
Copenhagen, Denmark – Breaking News… Team Obama got quickly into the airspace over Denmark today after spending many hours giving international Olympic Committee officials a taste of the Chicago Way as Mr. & Mrs. Obama tag-teamed them wielding their incredible charm – and some special “arm-twisting” as well.
Air Danish One. Oprah, eat my Kale!
As the vote for Chicago to host the 2016 Games epically failed, Mrs. Winfrey’s chartered 727 nearly failed to get airborne before reaching the end of the runway. It was earlier reported that Ms. Oprah was torn between sampling Michelle’s O’s homegrown White House Kale, versus raiding the famed Danish pastry shops while enduring her international lobbying mission on behalf of her svelte hometown.
In other major news, Obamunist Administration officials were nearly giddy with their early success in strong-arming the Iranians in their recent meeting with Shia delegates from the Religion of Peace. An announcement was made immediately following the appeasement talks where it was agreed to meet again!.. sometime in the near future!.. no really, soon.. to continue discussing how we can All get along in peace, learning to live happily adjacent to a nuclear armed Iran. And, who knows, we could even have another meeting at some point and all hold hands, singing together with a banjo around the fire.. sometime soon. Yes, we can!
Watch as this stunned Chicagoway News Network (CNN) anchor gropes for his oxygen mask as their bid for $Billions in civic graft noses over in flames…
Many Americans are no doubt confused by some of the terminology used by the president in recent weeks as he has given speeches before a joint session of Congress and the United Nations, conducted a variety of television interviews and introduced new policy proposals. As a public service, we are providing a glossary of these terms with their real meanings:
ACORN – who? Never heard of them. (For related definition of Defunding – “holding a show vote on an amendment to eliminate funding, then bottling up the bill” – see the Congressional Glossary.)
Action (as in “now is the time for action”) – big government.
Balanced and sustained (as in “chart a course for growth that is balanced and sustained”) – involving more big government.
Choice – the opportunity to select big government.
Competition – we choose who wins.
Compromise – accepting my position after I give a big speech.
Cost savings – $900 billion in new spending.
Create or save (as in “create or save 4 million jobs”) – destroy or lose, as in 2 million jobs.
Engagement – a combination of unilateral concessions and America-bashing abroad.
Fact (as in, “these are the facts” or “to state a fact”) – my opinion.
Honest debate – agreeing with me.
Incorporate (as in “incorporate ideas from Republicans”) – include in the early stages of a proposal and then have Pelosi and Reid drop like a hot potato behind closed doors in the final version.
Irresponsible (as in “irresponsible behavior”) – constitutionally protected.
Misinformation – facts, when presented by our opponents.
Neutrality (as in “net neutrality”) – favoring one side in a dispute, especially when that side has supported your campaign and provided a senior White House staff member.
Necessary (as in “necessary war”) – not really that necessary, at least when it comes to backing up your words with required manpower and funding and standing up to your liberal base.
Negotiations without preconditions – the position I took vis-à-vis our enemies during the campaign, then denied taking, but am now trying to force on the Israelis.
Nobody (as in “nobody disputes [these facts]”) – no liberals or members of the mainstream media.
Non-profit (as in proposals to establish tax-favored, non-profit status for failing newspapers) – making official a condition that has existed unofficially for years.
Nothing (as in “nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have”) – everything.
Plan (as in, “the [health-care] plan I am announcing tonight”) – a really good speech.
Respect (as in, “respects the rights of the Israelis and Palestinians” or “the Iranians and North Koreans”) – overrun (Israelis) or elevate beyond reason with no expectation of reciprocity (everyone else).
Responsibility (as in the “responsibility” to buy health insurance or America’s “responsibility” to confront global warming) – big government telling people or nations things they have to do. (See “Action” above.)
Scare tactics – see “Misinformation” above.
Security (as in “stability and security” in health care or “true security for all Israelis”) – you’re toast.
Stand by our friends – desert our friends in order to “engage” with our enemies. (See “Engagement” above.)
Tax – certainly not the fine that goes along with the individual mandate. No matter what that little #&%@! Stephanopoulos or Webster’s say.
ThoughtRogue: And Iran has just finally revealed the SECOND nuke plantthey have secretly been building. Can you hear that great rumbling in the distance growing ever louder?? It’s just about game time…
Is this not about Western Civilization beating back a burgeoning Death Cult?
It’s official, in this new era of “Post-Racialism” the term “racist” has finally been stripped of all meaning! And, this just happens to coincide with the official Death of the “Mainstream” Media. Change.
Consider those 4th of July Barbecue Invitations.. Rescinded!
ThoughtRogue: This report truly comes from the You-just-can’t-make-this-stuff-up department. HotAir.com reminds us that the Faux-bama administration had actually extended invitations for Iranian Higher-Ups to visit their local U.S. Embassy on July 4th to partake in some hot dogs, apple pie, and safe-n-sane fireworks – you know, duly celebrating that wacky ”freedom and liberty” thing..
“As you all know many weeks ago the administration extended an invitation to celebrate the freedom that this country enjoys. not surprisingly based on what we see in Tehran, no one has RSVP’d,” said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.
“Understand that July 4th allows us to celebrate the freedom and liberty that we enjoy. I don’t think it’s surprising that no one has signed up to come given the events of the last few days. Those invitations will be no longer extended.
Meanwhile, back on the streets, in which we will certainly NOT meddle… Ahh, the Religion of Peace strikes again.. (and again, and…)
TR: And you might have thought the term “State-run Media” was just some hyperbole. Folks, you just can’t make this stuff up… The All Barack Channel (ABC) will be pimping the administration’s ObamaCare scheme from their cushy new quarters within our White House! Can you imagine if FoxNews had begun broadcasting Bush propaganda from their new HQ in the Lincoln Bedroom? Think about what’s going on here… with this State-run Media.[!]
ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE
On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care — a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!
Highlights on the agenda:
ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House.
The network plans a primetime special — ‘Prescription for America’ — originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate.
The Director of Communications at the White House Office of Health Reform is Linda Douglass, who worked as a reporter for ABC News from 1998-2006.
Late Monday night, Republican National Committee Chief of Staff Ken McKay fired off a complaint to the head of ABCNEWS:
Dear Mr. Westin:
As the national debate on health care reform intensifies, I am deeply concerned and disappointed with ABC’s astonishing decision to exclude opposing voices on this critical issue on June 24, 2009. Next Wednesday, ABC News will air a primetime health care reform “town hall” at the White House with President Barack Obama. In addition, according to an ABC News report, GOOD MORNING AMERICA, WORLD NEWS, NIGHTLINE and ABC’s web news “will all feature special programming on the president’s health care agenda.” This does not include the promotion, over the next 9 days, the president’s health care agenda will receive on ABC News programming.
Today, the Republican National Committee requested an opportunity to add our Party’s views to those of the President’s to ensure that all sides of the health care reform debate are presented. Our request was rejected. I believe that the President should have the ability to speak directly to the America people. However, I find it outrageous that ABC would prohibit our Party’s opposing thoughts and ideas from this national debate, which affects millions of ABC viewers.
In the absence of opposition, I am concerned this event will become a glorified infomercial to promote the Democrat agenda. If that is the case, this primetime infomercial should be paid for out of the DNC coffers. President Obama does not hold a monopoly on health care reform ideas or on free airtime. The President has stated time and time again that he wants a bipartisan debate. Therefore, the Republican Party should be included in this primetime event, or the DNC should pay for your airtime.
Respectfully,
Ken McKay
Republican National Committee
Chief of Staff

ABCNEWS Senior Vice President Kerry Smith on Tuesday responded to the RNC complaint, saying it contained ‘false premises’:
“ABCNEWS prides itself on covering all sides of important issues and asking direct questions of all newsmakers — of all political persuasions — even when others have taken a more partisan approach and even in the face of criticism from extremes on both ends of the political spectrum. ABCNEWS is looking for the most thoughtful and diverse voices on this issue.
“ABCNEWS alone will select those who will be in the audience asking questions of the president. Like any programs we broadcast, ABC News will have complete editorial control. To suggest otherwise is quite unfair to both our journalists and our audience.”
This just in: The Obama Administration has proclaimed a breakthrough in the laws of mathematics, which will have far-reaching ramifications in science, and in the fields of government accounting and economics in particular.
The new quantum leap can be summarized for the layman as follows: 2 + 3 = 7*
*Congress has vowed to codify this newly minted law by next tackling the New Math and Fuzzy Accounting Act as soon as their schedule allows. It was also noted by a spokesman, that this new mathematical phenomenon was first realized by Treasury personnel after nearly all their currency printing presses were pushed to 24/7 output capacity.
An Obama Administration official noted that this new law could likely make the difference in vanquishing federal budget deficits, will go a long way in keeping existing Entitlement programs solvent, and just might make the economics of Obamacare add up!
As always, No Compromise will keep you posted as this incredible story develops…
