Woodward: Obama is showing “a kind of madness I haven’t seen in a long time”

Woodward: Obama is showing “a kind of madness I haven’t seen in a long time”. Regarding Obama’s sequester kabuki dance decision not to deploy an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf because of budget concerns. Well Bob, as we keep telling you media-ocrities about Obama, a waste is a terrible thing to mind.

  • "Dear Leader" is beginning to show his Chicago Thug side, and people aren't liking it. This whole Administration is full of this biggest bunch of ideological, mentally deficient, crooks ever assembled in one place.

  • "..a kind of madness I haven't seen in a long time."

    Obama's narcissism has become pathological. He's now lashing out wildly and irrationally at perceived enemies, an "enemy" being anyone who opposes his destructive policies. Barack's narcissism (and immaturity) prevents him from dealing with political opponents as adult equals, rather he sees them as enemies to be destroyed. Like a crazed Roman emperor, Barack is willing to hurt both the people and the country in order to get his way.

  • The Senate has OK ’d military spending on biofuel refineries. I wonder how much the green push is costing our military. I'm sure a lot of money could be saved in that area.

    • Last I heard the Navy was paying $27 a gallon for Bio-fuel JP-5 jet fuel that is used in their Gas Turbine shipboard power plants. This is rather dated information, I doubt the price has dropped.

  • We can't refuel a carrier, or provide rape counseling to women in uniform, but we can provide 25 benefits to partners of gay service members.

  • Don't deploy the carrier group. Hell, pull all of our military our of the region. Let the shiite hit the fan and offer our services to the highest bidder. Like they do with oil. The entire arab world hates us and uses us to their advantage, because we need their oil.
    Why yes Mr. Saudi Sheik, we'll sweep your country of invading Iranians. Here's the conditions. Oil costs us $3 a barrel. Every soldier will carry a $5 million dollar life insurance policy. You will also pick up the tab for injuries, rehab and let's put appendages at 1 million apiece. Those Humvees, choppers and ships? You're paying a rental fee, fuel fee, maintenance fee (because your shitty sandbox is hard on equipment) and you will pay to replace the ones that are damaged.
