BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL-AID TABLE
POOR FADED CELEBRITY IN CHIEF BARRY O, EVEN TIME IS PANNING HIS LATEST SPEECH:
The rhetoric hit its marks. The message, however, was muddled.
As he finished his speaking engagements, several questions remained about how he intends to deal with the multiple foreign policy crises facing his administration.
REACHED FOR COMMENT, BARRY O SPUTTERED TO THESE REPORTERS, "B-B-B-UT THE RHETORIC, THEY LOVED THE RHETORIC AT LEAST!"
FROM THE TCI WIRE:
Barack will do whatever he wants to do.
A large number of Americans favor single-payer, universal health care
similar to what they have in Canada and other countries dubbed "first
world countries." (Iraq has this sort of health care, by the way.) But
that didn't force Barack into pushing that through Congress. No,
Americans were made prisoners of insurance companies -- sheer
coincidence, you understand, that the insurance lobby had been big
donors to his 2008 campaign.
Time and again, Barack does what he wants -- which is generally move further to the right.
So stop typing up your sexual fantasies of the maiden Barack spirited
out the window of his bedroom, tossed over the shoulder of some
kissy-faced brute.
They're insulting.
Barack does what he wants to do.
TE and others repeatedly offer excuses not to be mad at Barack. A flat
out lie becomes "a lame cover story" and Barack's actions of war are
things he really, cross TE's heart, didn't want to do. So don't feel
outrage, don't wonder if you should be in the streets.
Barack is really, really like torn and stuff, he's like really,
really not wanting to do this. So, you feel me, cut him some slack.
Being president is like a really tough job and stuff.
Digging ditches is a tough job. Scrubbing toilets is a tough job. Raising kids is a tough job.
Giving four years of your life so you get pension and health care and
you and your family get bodyguards for life? So your wife gets her own
pension because you were president?
These and so many other perks don't go to ditch diggers. Or maids. Or stay-at-home parents, day care workers, nannies, etc.
In addition to the fact that the job should be one of the greatest professional honors any American citizen could have.
So let's all stop supplicating and whining about 'poor Barack.'
He does what he wants to do.
So today what he wants to do is send more US troops into Iraq.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest issued the following statement tonight:

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest issued the following statement tonight:
Today, the President authorized the Department of Defense
to fulfill a Department of State request for approximately 350
additional U.S. military personnel to protect our diplomatic facilities
and personnel in Baghdad, Iraq. This action was taken at the
recommendation of the Department of Defense after an extensive
interagency review, and is part of the President’s commitment to protect
our personnel and facilities in Iraq as we continue to support the
Government of Iraq in its fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and
the Levant (ISIL). These additional forces will not serve in a combat
role.
The President has made clear his commitment to doing whatever is required to provide the necessary security for U.S. personnel and facilities around the world. The request he approved today will allow some previously deployed military personnel to depart Iraq, while at the same time providing a more robust, sustainable security force for our personnel and facilities in Baghdad.
In addition to our efforts to protect our personnel, we will continue to support the Government of Iraq’s efforts to counter ISIL, which poses a threat not only to Iraq, but to the broader Middle East and U.S. personnel and interests in the region. The President will be consulting this week with NATO allies regarding additional actions to take against ISIL and to develop a broad-based international coalition to implement a comprehensive strategy to protect our people and to support our partners in the fight against ISIL. As part of this effort, Secretary Kerry, Secretary Hagel, and President Obama’s counterterrorism advisor, Lisa Monaco, will be traveling separately to the region in the near-term to build a stronger regional partnership.

Chelsea J. Carter and Jomana Karadsheh (CNN) report, "The new troops will bring the number of American troops in Iraq to well
over 1,000, with most serving either as diplomatic security or military
advisers to Iraq's security forces." Jamie Dupree (WSB Radio, Cox Media Group) adds, "The extra 350 military personnel would bring the total of American
servicemembers in Iraq to around 1,300, acting in roles as military
advisers or for protection of U.S. diplomats inside Iraq." Spencer Ackerman (Guardian) offers, "Intentionally or not, Obama has effectively responded to Isis by
signaling an intensification of the latest US war in Iraq. Obama has now
launched 124 airstrikes against Isis since 8 August, while swearing not
to introduce 'combat boots on the ground'."
