[Tolo News] Republican 2016 hopeful Senator Lindsey Graham ... the endangered South Carolina RINO... says U.S President Barack Obama They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them... "just made up a number" on Afghan troop levels, and says more forces are needed to stabilize the country.
Graham told radio host John Catsimatidis on "The Cats Roundtable" airing on 970 New York on Sunday that Obama made the right move by keeping troops on the ground in Afghanistan, but caved to political pressure by agreeing to cut the force in half by 2016.
"Here's the one thing, this is typical Obama: 9,800 is what we have, and that's what we need," Graham said. "And he said, 'Well, OK, I'm gonna leave 'em there, but by the end of 2016, we're going to 5,500' - he just made up a number. He cut the base in half, so to speak."
"Typical Obama: doing the right thing, but then withdrawing at the end 'cause you're worried about politics," he added.
Graham said that the president generally has no clue what he's doing when it comes to foreign policy.

A stopped clock is right once or twice a day...
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another William Jennings Bryan ... has started faking a Southern drawl to speak to Southerners, just as she did during her last presidential run eight years ago.
The tactic drew chuckles, derision and not a little resentment when she tried it in 2007 and 2008. But she was back at it again in Alabama on Saturday, putting on a heavy twang to express her contempt for Republicans.
With Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... narrowing her lead or overtaking her in early caucus and primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire, Clinton is hoping for a "Southern firewall," and her itinerary of upcoming events reveals a determinatiion to set it ablaze quickly. She wants to win in South Carolina and then in the many Southern states holding primaries on "Super Tuesday," where Sanders is polling much worse.
That could mean a lot more of these type of videos, capturing her speaking in a voice she did not learn during her childhood in Illinois Chicago and schooling in New England.

At least Obama had sense enough to study at the feet of Rev. Jeremiah Wright for twenty years before he attempted to sound black.

Sure, HillaryBot has a Programmable Voice Unit, but she still can't pass the Turing Test.
[BREITBART] Sunday on ABC's "This Week," Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... (I-VT) said his tax increases would "hit everybody" because he would raise the payroll tax to pay for paid family and medical leave.
Sanders said, "I think if you are looking about guaranteeing paid family and medical leave, which every other major country has so that when a mom gives birth she doesn't have to go back to work in two weeks. Dad or mom can stay home with the kids. That will require a small increase in the payroll tax."
Stephanopoulos said, "That's going to hit everybody."
Sanders agreed saying, "That would hit everybody, yeah, It would but it would mean we were drawing the rest of the industrialized world and make sure that when a mom has a baby she can in fact stay home with that baby for three months rather than go back to work at the end of one week. We are the only country, only major country that doesn't guarantee paid family and medical leave. We do a lot of great things in this country but we are behind many other countries in protecting the middle class and working families."

"Make every worker pay for the sexual decisions of the few"!
"Keep government out of the bedroom"
Now you can be for one or the other, but not both.

And of course those who earn more would have to pay much more and anyone earning under a certain amount wouldn't have to pay anything... Just to make it fair.

Everything belongs to the State (see-Kelo), just be happy with what they allow you to keep.
The old Soviet meme comes to mind - they pretend to pay us and we pretend to work.
And they wonder why the economy, outside of Wall Street gambling speculation, remains flat. Maybe because we can't get the Fed to lend us big money at zero interest to play the game too.
"Kenneth Timmerman, author of Dark forces: The Truth About What Happened in Benghazi, looks at Hillary Clinton's next scheduled appearance before the Benghazi special committee and the Iranian nuclear deal. He cites evidence that the Iranians were behind the attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans on September 11, 2012. In addition, Timmerman says Iran was involved in the September 11, 2001, attacks. Timmerman also discusses Russian backing for Iran and the Russian role in attacking the opponents of Assad in Syria. Timmerman also looks at: Will Russia attack the Kurds? And who are the Kurds? Is Obama a Muslim? Will Israel strike Iran?"
