@Sicilian Papa
I haven’t been to Drudge in a while. Geez, the kitchen sink is being thrown at Obama. Libya, race tape, Afghanistan in retreat, the economy.
Yep, but only time will tell if its truly news worthy. The Libya story is starting to take effect somewhat, but this may throw another stick on it. The tape I want to see is the one that the LA Times won’t publish
Alot more details about the tape on Drudge now
@
ALL
I know people aren’t talking about this Holder story and the connection to the President but it is a blockbuster. The President’s personal friend and Attorney General involved in an armed terrorist attack on an American University. Obama knew Holder at the time and even hung out in the building under it’s new name The Malcolm X center.
Were was the corrupt lib. media in 2007? They must have been fainting at Obama rallies. They really are shameful bunch!!!
Looks like the tape is talking about the 53% that Romney wasn’t
Did the President know how the building got it’s new name The Malcolm X Center when he was hanging out there after the armed take over by Holder and friends?
I believe you can see the tape on The Blaze or at least about 9 minutes of his fake accent. He refers to “the babi”– means baby. I will have to say this does show Obama’s racism but was that not known already?? Not sure if this is really a big deal, if the tape on the Blaze is what Hannity is showing. We will see– if it is a big deal and bad for Obama, we won’t see it on MSNBC or any of the major networks.

The real story if all this is true, is the corruption and cover up in the corrupt lib. media over the last five years. The country should be outraged at them!
Didn’t I post about this on Thursdays thread? (Holder’s activism)
@Sicilian Papa
The country should be outraged at them!
Agreed. I think the Libya story and Fast & Furious should be the headlines.
Is This Obama’s ‘Other Race Speech’ That Drudge And Fox News Are Teasing?
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/is-this-obamas-other-race-speech-that-drudge-and-fox-news-are-teasing/
Keep this in mind. Hannity was not taken seriously in 2007 and 2008 when he tried to show some of what Obama was. Many of the things he uncovered but was brushed away has come to be more reality than BS. So……….Hannity has vowed to VET the president like the media wouldnt during the last go around. He has made it very clear that he is not only out for the truth about the president but he wants everyone to see how the media covered up by not reporting.
This could be very interesting!
@Rats
I think the full tape has a lot more on it. Drudge overstates a lot of things at times, but I’ve never seen him put such importance on a story as this one.
Some of the text looks bad but if shown in full context it may or may not be so damning. Just have to wait I guess.
@
DB
I agree, there had better be a lot more than that. I watched the nine minutes and it sounds like a standard Obama speech. Oh, no I hope we aren’t opening Al Capone secret vault!!!!
@
Sunshine
That is what got me interested in the story.
@Sicilian Papa
Agreed. It sounded fairly normal to me

We should run a poll to determine who will miss Jeff the most around here.
He will be ok; I don’t believe he’s one of those who think that “faux” rhymes with “fox”.
@
Coffee Steve
Afghanistan needs to be on the table. There is talk of an early exit. The Taliban sees victory in sight and does not want to negotiate. Did the Presidents surge strategy work? The President gets to walk away from a policy that was a loser. If you are not going to fight a war all out than you are defeated before you start. He had the option of ending the war in his first year but choose the surge. He also announced his retreat at the same time he order the troops in.
@S. Papa
Did the Presidents surge strategy work?
It failed the minute he gave a timeline. If we were at war with each other and you told me when you were going to leave? I’m not giving up anything.

Ya think maybe he is going to Paris Missouri and thinks he is going to France? Maybe he will run into Billhilly!
