NBC NEWS Headline: These Historians Say Obama Ranks 12th in the History of Presidential Leadership
I'm outraged@#$
Why didn't they ask Presidential Historian Michael Beschloss his opinion? He knows Obama was the smartest President ever. He knows Obama's IQ was "off the charts." He knows we'll never elect a guy as smart as Obama again to be our President, because "we just don't elect guys as smart as Obama to be President."
Why wasn't Michael Beschloss interviewed for this story? Number 12? Are you kidding me? Hell, Obama's crease in his pant automatically puts him in the top 5 at a minimum.
Damn fake news bastards at NBC@#$%^ Grrrrrrr!

Wine snob, you say? I've never heard of any of those wines, windansea, which should be a completely moot point. They seem to be similar to the wines I was getting through a short-lived stint with WSJ wine club: not bad wines but nothing that great either. Judging by the price points of the wines in that link, I'll bet they're similar quality.

I can understand Kristol being that dense. Maybe it's a function of working at a website that does not allow commenters to comment, so they never get to hear from anybody but themselves, but seriously---Fred Barnes? He missed it too?

Lou Dobbs has on an NSA whistleblower, William Binney Former NSA Senior Intelligence Officer, explaining the possible ways this leaked info was gathered, and then suggesting ways of how it could this data that could have been leaked:
William Binney ... I don't think there is any question that this came from the NSA programs. The problem is that it doesn't necessarily have to be NSA or NSA people in the NSA that leaked the conversations. It could have been people from CIA or FBI or DEA who also had direct access to that. But also I would say that these are very compartmented programs, so there are very few numbers of people who were involved in them, and they all get cleared for the programs, so they are all listed as to who has access to this data, and If they looked into the network logs, inside NSA, they could see who was accessing those files.
Lou: How long should it take, would it likely take, to have the FBI or have whatever Investigatory Agency, move in and determine who is responsible for these leaks?...
William Binney From analyzing the Network logs...I would think it would take no more than a day to figure out who was accessing it, so you end up with a set of people that they need to investigate more closely, have them come in and answer questions...
Lou: ...Have you ever seen anything like this against any Administration?
Binney" I haven't... I think people are reacting in a sense of heavy fear of what he might do and what he might achieve. From my perspective I think that some of the things he is doing are really starting to stimulate the Economy, and people are afraid that he is going to succeed too much and too well with that, and it might make them look really bad, and so I think they are going to try to...they know they are going to look even worse if the Economy starts really going...
---------------------
Binney says Trump can win this war, but he needs to put people in Jail and do this thru the DOJ.

re; Dobbs
Barnes is at least simpatico, not hostile. Kristol isn't nearly as smart as he thinks he is. It took me some time, too. But "demeanor" got us Nork nukes, pardon sales, bad trade deals, open borders, winning a costly war and losing the peace, nukes for Iran, etc. Screw Demeanor.
I don't think Binney mentioned how Obama changed the rules on the last day so that previously tightly-compartmented NSA info could be shared with many agencies. Translation: "Please spy on Trump for me."
Funny how it took Obama 8 years to think of it.
Posted by: The Gipper Lives | February 17, 2017 at 08:19 PM
JiB,
I dunno. My great-uncle assumed command of the Forrestal after the fire. He was actually on his way to take command when it happened. He probably knows the truth, but he never told us anything. The official story is that the rocket was sketchy ordnance and was mounted on another aircraft, unmanned at the time.

Pope tells U.S. summit “No people is criminal, no religion is terrorist”
Wrong. Islam is a terrorist religion. Read the damn Koran you nincompoop of a Pope. Geezus this imbecile makes me mad.
---we are presently witnessing a disturbing warming of the climatic system.”
---we also know what happens when we deny science and disregard the voice of nature,”
---“no people is criminal and no religion is terrorist. Christian terrorism does not exist, Jewish terrorism does not exist, and Muslim terrorism does not exist.”
Sorry guys, if these quotes are accurate, Pope Frances is one of the biggest and most self deluded fools on the planet. I don't take pleasure in saying it, but it needs to be said--- he is a dangerous enemy to our civilization that is built on Judeo-Christian values. He does not understand it, and he does not appreciate it. He's a nincompoop.

not sure about JFK
You should be sure about him. Frank Sinatra called him "chickie boy" because he was so addicted to cooch. But the media covered for that plus his horrible health that caused him to ingest a small pharmacy every day.
His entire life was a lie, wrapped up with a bow on it by the media.

Here goes.
Who did you vote for, jor?
Good luck!

You didn't make up the racist term but you're guite willing to throw it around. Does that mean you're not a racist or that you're just easily led?
