Funny how all the lib toonists like Robby Rogers, Jeff Bores, Jim Moron and Tom Trolls wait 4 years and ONLY after the re-election to ever dare criticize their hero Barry. Hmmm.

There should be a movie out in the next months about a group of terrorist hackers who take control of armed drones world wide and turn them against US targets. There are many in the military who are more concerned about threats against the computers giving instructions to satellites, drones, or simply “looking over our shoulders” at the things we are looking at with drones and satellites. If our enemies can ever use our own systems to locate our submarines, we will lose a MAJOR deterrent protecting us from nuclear enemies. While I don’t think hackers could launch a nuclear weapon from a remote location, but as we put more emphasis on weapons that don’t need human interaction, the threat will increase as well.
Hackers are even more of a threat to our economy and power grids as too many businesses and power companies do not have the sophisticated security programs used by our military. Sequestration will have a negative impact on our counter measures and investments regarding cyber war.

The problem isn’t hackers, it’s the people who are actually liberals bent on destroying capitalism.

One question that a lot of people forget…“Who got us involved in this ‘Global War on Terrorism’ in the first place?”
Hint..It WASN’T Obama…

Those of us who shoot skeet have had a great time poking fun at Obama’s “skeet shooting” photo. He appers to be a raw beginner that hasn’t had any instruction at all. Can you say “photo op”?

For the USA it began over 200 years ago and this latest round began about 1970. Read the history of the subject…educate yourself.

Ah yes another arm chair general on his tea party horse standing in front of a howitzer spouting on about rhetorical “honor” whilst ignoring the facts!

If the picture was of a rifle being shot, I could understand the angle a bit better. Had the skeet for which he was aiming descended to six feet off of the ground? That is a very level angle to be firing at a flying target. One would thing the barrel of the weapon would be at a greater angle to the ground than the one displayed in the picture. However, Dick Cheney apparently fired at a similar angle when hunting with friends.
Has anyone seen Mr. Gibbs or Axelrod lately?
hmmmm.

@Ms. Ima
The problem are extremists on both the left and the right who are trying to keep moderates on the left and the right divided and unable to find compromise and force legislators to do their jobs on behalf of a nation, instead of a party.
Capitalism is already broken. Destroying it is just a sequester away.

I’ll lay it on the line now… Pres. Obama is probably the best president we’ve had since WWII, the second coming of Bush the worst. But I have no problem with drones taking out these so called US citizens who have, by their actions, renounced their citizenship. The real irony is that if this memo was revealed during the Bush presidency the liberals would still be making the same complaints they are now, but all the conservatives would find no problem with it.
