Terrorists worldwide no doubt cheered President Obama’s speech this week, unilaterally declaring surrender by announcing he wants to close GITMO and limit drone strikes. Pundit Dick Morris explores the ramifications involved in waving the white flag, predicting an upswing in new terror attacks.
Former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, discusses the possible closing of Gitmo and the President’s counterterrorism strategies. Closing the prison won’t appease al-Qaeda, Bolton says, but simply turn loose a bunch of terrorists to resume their attacks on the United States and the rest of the Western world.
Bill Whittle shows you an iconic image of a rainy day when a U.S. Marine held an umbrella over the head of President Obama. Is this photograph a metaphor for President Obama’s actions in Benghazi and his Administration’s targeting of the AP, Fox News and the Tea Party?

Recent reports make it obvious that the Obama Administration is going to great lengths to defend ‘national’ secrets from the public. Here’s a take from Taiwan on the many brewing scandals engulfing the secretive and politically minded president.
Badgered by the IRS and a politically vindictive Administration, marginalized by spineless media sycophants beholden to the Washington elites, the Tea Party is now fighting back, gaining new wind as more Americans realize how corrupt, venal and out of control the federal behemoth has become. Fox News pundit Greg Gutfeld says Obamacare and its pending bureaucratic mandates will fuel this resurgence as the Tea Party strikes a blow for transparency and accountability in government.
The marriage between the Obama administration and the mainstream media is now on the rocks. Pundit Dick Morris explains the fissure and why the Associated Press scandal has soured the media as a willing partner and accomplice to Obama’s political agenda.
Joe Dan Gorman, Chuck Norris’ bodyguard, recaps the incestuous relationships between the Obama Administration and the noodling Alphabet Soup networks — ABC, CBS and NBC, as well as CNN. In this edition of Intellectual Froglegs, Joe Dan also blasts the bureaucrats in Washington who’ve thrown obstacles in the way of America achieving energy independence. Forward-thinking governors should defy these fruitbats.
Ferreting out the truth on Benghazi, the IRS’ targeting of conservatives and the Justice Department’s phone taps of the Associated Press will be a difficult process, given the fact that no one in the Obama Administration — from the President on down — professes to know much of anything about any of these lingering scandals. Judge Jeanine Pirro offers her perspective on “the search for truth” in the scandal-plagued administration.
Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) appeared on the Andrea Tantaros Show to discuss the Benghazi scandal. Wolf says that Obama’s arrogance and paranoia led to the cover-up of the terrorist attack that left four Americans dead. Wolf recommends a select committee to investigate the cover-up.
The Obama White House has released the latest installment of its ongoing and self-congratulatory video series, West Wing Week. But despite touting itself as “your guide to all things 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.,” the new episode seems to be missing some of the key stories that have hit the headlines over the past few days. There’s no mention, for instance, of Benghazi or the AP phone tapping – and the IRS scandal is barely mentioned in passing.
Perhaps the White House is just too busy completely redacting documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act to fully document its recent highlights. In a surge of civic pride, Reason TV is happy to offer “West Wing Weak,” our look back at the administration’s past seven days.
