Hope n' Change is keeping it short and sweet today (well, bittersweet). Here's where you can read about Syria's billion-dollar extortion attempt,  Afghanistan's "custom fees" intended to cost taxpayers tens of millions to get back our own equipment, and here's Libya telling B. Hussein that after an entire year of no action whatsoever to bring anyone to justice, domestically or abroad, Libya is telling him to keep US Forces out of the country and forget about the (now protected) killers of our ambassador and three other brave Americans.

And all the while, Barry just eats this abuse up as if it were his favorite flavor of ice cream.

And considering that it's America's reputation that he's destroying and not just his own, we're sure these insults do taste sweet to him.

On Monday, Barack Obama took a few moments out of his hyper-partisan economic speech attacking Republicans to mention the loss of twelve innocent lives at Washington's Navy Yard, saying "They're patriots. They know the dangers of serving abroad, but today they faced the unimaginable violence that they wouldn't have expected here at home."

Unless they lived in Chicago, of course.

But sadly, on that same day, the president was also increasing the "danger of unimaginable violence" against those patriots who are serving abroad - specifically by waiving the federal law which was meant to prohibit him from sending arms to terrorists.   In this case, Syrian "rebels" - many of whom are affiliated with radical Islamic terror organizations including the not-so-on-the-run Al-Qaeda.

The president is using this waiver in order to look slightly less like an idiotic eunuch in his mishandling of Syria and pillow-biting display of "more flexibility" for Vladimir Putin, all of which has virtually assured that Assad will now remain safely in power to supervise the (alleged) dismantling of his chemical weapons stockpile.

And if the price of restoring a scintilla of presidential pride is a massive arms shipment to America's sworn enemies, violating common sense and the clear intent of the law, then so be it.

Because B. Hussein has never cared about waving the American flag...but absolutely loves waiving the American laws which were meant to protect us.
