I saw Wolf Blitzer on CNN looking for a way out for
his friend president Barack Obama. It was obvious that he was reaching for
everyone to settle on something like firing the attorney general Eric
Holder. Firing him to help save Obama from some more well deserved
humiliation. After all it has been a long time since we had such a
stupid enough guy to abuse the Constitution of the United States this
bad. Not since Richard Nixon.
No now we see that Obama
was a very dumb bunny just like Richard. So the friends of the man of a
different color ( Obama) are trying to help him once more.MSNBC meltdown on TV morning Joe about president Obama manner of governing the American government with such a arrogant attitude is much like looking at Tweedledum talk about Tweedledee. You must be kidding us, right?
That president Obama White House was dumb enough to turn on the hollow ground of the AP press is truly poetic justice.

D.C. turns on Obama

By MIKE ALLEN and JIM VANDEHEI | 5/14/13
The town is turning on President Obama – and this is very bad news for this White House.
Republicans have waited five years for the moment to put the screws to Obama – and they have one-third of all congressional committees on the case now. Establishment Democrats, never big fans of this president to begin with, are starting to speak out. And reporters are tripping over themselves to condemn lies, bullying and shadiness in the Obama administration.
Buy-in from all three D.C. stakeholders is an essential
ingredient for a good old fashioned Washington pile-on — so get ready
for bad stories and public scolding to pile-up.

Vernon Jordan, a close adviser to President Bill Clinton through his darkest days, told us: “It’s never all right if you’re the president. There is no smooth sailing. So now he has the turbulence, and this is the ultimate test of his leadership.” Jordan says Obama needs to do something dramatic on the IRS, and quick: “He needs to fire somebody. He needs action, not conversation.”
Obama’s aloof mien and holier-than-thou rhetoric have left him with little reservoir of good will, even among Democrats. And the press, after years of being accused of being soft on Obama while being berated by West Wing aides on matters big and small, now has every incentive to be as ruthless as can be.
This White House’s instinctive petulance, arrogance and defensiveness have all worked together to isolate Obama at a time when he most needs a support system. “It feel like they don’t know what they’re here to do,” a former senior Obama administration official said. “When there’s no narrative, stuff like this consumes you.”
(Also on POLITICO: Watchdog: IRS used 'inappropriate criteria')
Republican outrage is predictable, maybe even manageable. Democratic outrage is not.
The dam of solid Democratic solidarity has collapsed, starting with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd’s weekend scolding of the White House over Benghazi, then gushing with the news the Justice Department had sucked-up an absurdly broad swath of Associated Press phone records.
Democrats are privately befuddled by the White House’s flat-footed handling of this P.R. and legal mess, blaming a combination of bad timing, hubris and communications ineptitude. The most charitable defense offered up on background is that Obama staffers are scandal virgins, unaccustomed to dealing with a rabid press.
Chris Lehane, who spent so much time managing scandals in the 1990s that it inspired him to write a textbook on managing them, is among the contingent of Clinton-era scandal hands that thinks the Obama team has botched its second-term image. “One cannot get caught up with chasing news cycles in a crisis, as that is a prescription for putting out inaccurate information that does not withstand scrutiny or the test of time,” said Lehane, whose book is titled “Masters of Disaster.”

Journalist Carl Bernstein said President Barack Obama is no Richard Nixon on Monday, and he would know.
“It’s terrible,” Bernstein said of the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups in an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “Outrageous. Heads ought to roll. Simple as that. … From what we know so far, some high-up heads.” |

By Merrill Knox on May 14, 2013 11:04 AM
The Associated Press is “distressed” after the Justice
Department secretly seized two months of phone records of its reporters
and editors, including those of former CBS News correspondent Kimberly Dozier. AP executive editor Kathleen Carroll
was on “Morning Joe” today to talk about the seizure, which the AP
called a “‘massive and unprecedented intrusion’ into how news
organizations gather the news.”
“I’ve been in this business more than 30 years. And our first amendment lawyers, and our lawyers inside the AP, and our CEO is also a well-known first amendment lawyer — none of us have ever seen anything like this,” Carroll said.

See Video click to: http://www.today.com/news/
Video: The
former secretary of defense talks about his new book, “Rumsfeld’s
Rules,” and the Benghazi attacks, saying he does believe there was a
cover-up by the Obama administration. He also reflects on some of his
controversial decisions during his tenure in the Bush administration.
Former
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said questions being raised by his
fellow Republicans about the Benghazi embassy attack that killed four
American diplomats are not politically motivated.Asked Tuesday on TODAY whether criticism over the attack was an effort to discredit former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, considered by many to be a potential Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, Rumsfeld told Matt Lauer: “No, that’s the sideshow, is the Hillary Clinton piece of it.”
“If you’re going to put people at risk, you have to try to protect them,” Rumsfeld said. “The British took their people out because they knew they were at risk, and the Americans were left in and they weren’t provided the kind of security they needed, obviously, because they’re dead.”
Rumsfeld also maintained that the White House continues to cover up information about warning signs it had long before the attack occurred.
“I think as it’s unfolding, it’s very clear that the people knew from the outset that it was not the YouTube, that it was not a demonstration” that motivated the attack, he said. “People on the ground and people in Washington have now testified to that. “
The former defense secretary, who served in that position under both President Gerald Ford and George W. Bush, has a new book, “Rumsfeld’s Rules,” which outlines principles he says steered his decisions during his career.
Rumsfeld defended decisions he made that contributed to American involvement in Iraq after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. He told Lauer he often relied on a memo he created, referred to as “the parade of horribles."
“I sat down and wrote down all the things that could go wrong that I could think of prior to the president’s decision to go into Iraq, one of which was there may not be stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction,” he said.
Rumsfeld also recounted decisions he would have approached differently, like being more forceful with President Bush when he tried to resign over the scandal involving U.S. military abuses in the Abu Ghraib prison.
“A personnel decision, if it’s a mistake, it’s the mistake of the person doing the hiring as opposed to the person coming aboard,” Rumsfeld said. “I made a mistake by taking a former general and making him Secretary of the Army.”
The reference may be a slight against former Army Secretary Thomas White, whose tenure was marked by tension with his boss over several issues. White ultimately resigned upon Rumsfeld’s request in 2003.
“Personnel mistakes don’t get better with time,” Rumsfeld said.

Outrage
intensified in Washington on Monday over the disclosure that the
Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative groups for special
scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status.President Barack Obama, at a White House appearance with the British prime minister, said that he wanted all the facts but used strong terms to condemn the reported conduct.
“I’ve got no patience with it. I will not tolerate it,” he said. “And we will make sure that we find out exactly what happened on this.”
The Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration will release an audit report later this week. In the meantime, here are five big unanswered questions looming over the IRS.

An NFL team of Alabama and LSU players? Not a bad idea (Scarbinsky)
Former college stars Julio Jones of Alabama (left) and
Patrick Peterson of LSU have taken their talents to the NFL. (Mark
Almond/malmond@al.com)
| Hey, Bob Stoops. Here’s some more of that SEC propaganda you love so much, brought to you this time by a writer who was embedded in the war room of the Cleveland Browns for the NFL draft. "Black and Brown Blues" by Chuck Klosterman isn’t about the SEC, but like so many stories about college or pro football, Mike Slive’s baby gets a prominent mention. The story describes the Cleveland brain trust discussing a college lineman with obvious flaws. “The main reason this deficient lineman is even being considered is because he happened to play his best game against an opponent from the Southeast (sic) Conference, the most secure pedigree any potential pick can offer,” Klosterman writes. It’s Southeast-ERN Conference, of course, but you and Stoops get the point. It’s no coincidence that the Browns selected LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo with the sixth pick in the first round last month. New Cleveland GM Michael Lombardi loves the SEC in general, and as a friend of Nick Saban’s, he’s especially enamored with Alabama and LSU. How much does Lombardi love the Tide and Tigers? "The SEC is a whole different animal," he says in the story. "If all we did was take guys from Alabama and LSU, we'd be (flipping) great." Wait a minute. If that doesn’t rise to the level of propaganda, it at least checks in as hyperbole. What if an NFL team was populated entirely by former Alabama and LSU players? How good would that team be? Let’s put together a completely random and totally subjective roster, or at least a starting 22, just for the fun of it. Your suggestions, as always, are welcome below. Offense OL -- Evan Mathis (Alabama) Eagles. OL -- Chance Warmack (Alabama) Titans. OL -- Stephen Peterman (LSU) Jets. OL -- Andrew Whitworth (LSU) Bengals. OL -- Andre Smith (Alabama) Bengals. QB -- Matt Flynn (LSU) Raiders. RB -- Trent Richardson (Alabama) Browns. RB -- Stevan Ridley (LSU) Patriots. WR -- Julio Jones (Alabama) Falcons. WR -- Dwayne Bowe (LSU) Chiefs. WR -- Brandon LaFell (LSU) Panthers. Defense DE -- Mark Anderson (Alabama) Bills. DT -- Glenn Dorsey (LSU) 49ers. DT -- Marcell Dareus (Alabama) Bills. DE -- Barkevious Mingo (LSU) Browns. LB -- Courtney Upshaw (Alabama) Ravens. LB -- DeMeco Ryans (Alabama) Eagles. LB -- Perry Riley (LSU) Redskins. CB -- Kareem Jackson (Alabama) Texans. CB -- Patrick Peterson (LSU) Cardinals. S -- Mark Barron (Alabama) Buccaneers. S -- LaRon Landry (LSU) Colts. At a glance, that team wouldn’t be good enough to take the Super Bowl title away from Baltimore - there are far more solid pros than stars on that team - but neither would it challenge Kansas City and Jacksonville for the first pick in the next draft. So no, Michael Lombardi, an NFL team made up entirely of players from Alabama and LSU wouldn’t be great. That’s just propaganda. But go to the category of current players by college on ESPN.com on ESPN.com, and you’ll see a listing that includes 49 players from LSU and 41 from Alabama. That’s 90 total between the two of them, more than enough to put together at least a competitive roster. It’s also more than Oklahoma, which has 32 players listed. That’s not propaganda, Bob Stoops. It’s cold hard fact. |

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
LSU received a bit of good news for the upcoming season yesterday when JUCO wide receiver Quantavious Leslie tweeted that he is cleared to go and LSU bound. His exact words were, “Happy is an understatement for how I'm feeling right now. Found out I passed my college algebra class. #lsubound#thankgod.” As I stated earlier, with Leslie on board and with Travin Dural fully recovered from his knee injury, the Tiger receiving corps should be much improved this year. And that's not even mentioning LSU's leading receivers in Odell Beckham, Jr. and Jarvis Landry who are both set to have big junior years, and Kadron Boone and James Wright who look to make a significant contribution in their senior seasons.
In football recruiting news, Coach John Chavis is reportedly visiting one of LSU's top targets for 2014 today - Clifton Garrett. Hailing from Plainfield, Illinois, Garrett (6'2", 215) is a hard-hitting consensus five-star linebacker who has LSU at the top of his list ever since attending the Spring Game. If you haven't seen Garrett's highlights yet, check them out. There aren’t very many defensive highlight reels as exciting as his. Read more...http://www.dandydon.
