Ben Carson calls Obama a 'psychopath'

Ben Carson calls Obama a 'psychopath'
Ben Carson says President Barack Obama is a psychopath.
His comment came in an exchange between the neurosurgeon who's likely to mount a bid for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination and his chief adviser, Armstrong Williams, captured by a GQ reporter on the night of this year's State of the Union address.

Iran To Hit US Soldiers?
As negotiations on a possible nuclear deal approach a March 31 deadline, U.S. officials are increasingly alarmed about Iran’s expanding military presence in Iraq — and the threat it may pose to American soldiers in the country.

Subject: Reinstate the draft

Hi Lisa,

I have not seen anything close to the present situation in my lifetime. The Iran letter could have been serious; thankfully, Rouhani saw through it and did not take it seriously. So now it just looks foolish, as do its author and the other signers. That letter will be a career-changer for Tom Cotton, I think.

Netanyhu? He’s as craven and untrustworthy as they come. Somebody should have brought in busloads of Arabs to vote against him. Netanyahu is living proof that Israel’s main export is chutzpah.

Now Israel is saying it would never spy on the United States and try to subvert peace talks between the P5+1 and Iran. My response: Bullshit. I think that’s Obama’s response, too.

Netanyahu and our GOP want war with Iran, plain and simple. If they get their way, I think Congress needs to take three actions:

· Declare war – we need a formal Declaration of War, no more executive-approved conflicts under the War Powers Act.
· Pay for the war – we need a separate war budget funded by highly progressive tax surcharges.
· Reinstate the draft – we need to get the whole country involved in the war, including some of our precious fraternity boys who seem to have nothing better to do. I say that as a Vietnam-era draftee (who joined the Navy).

Then we’ll see just how much the country backs the idea of another preemptive war in the Middle East, when Middle America has to actually foot the bill and send its sons and daughters to do the fighting.

If Israel is facing an existential crisis, it was created by Netanyahu with the help of the American GOP. I hope that at some point Israelis and Americans can see through what’s going on.

More later,
~Rick

Thanks for writing Rick. The GOP and Netanyahu want to bring upon the Apocalyse, and rapture to heaven. No wonder our founding fathers were so intent on separation of church and state. Now we know what it is like to be governed by loonies.

Obama Takes A Few Smirking Swipes
President Barack Obama ribbed Republican efforts to undermine Obamacare and their failure to offer a serious alternative on Wednesday from the White House.
"I mean we have been promised a lot of things these past five years that didn't turn out to be the case —death panels, doom, a serious alternative from Republicans in Congress," Obama said, smirking during a speech highlighting the fifth anniversary of his signature healthcare law. "The budget they introduced last week would literally double the number of uninsured in America."

Bye Bye Democracy, Hello Oligarchy
A new study from Princeton spells bad news for American democracy—namely, that it no longer exists.
Asking "[w]ho really rules?" researchers Martin Gilens and Benjamin I. Page argue that over the past few decades America's political system has slowly transformed from a democracy into an oligarchy, where wealthy elites wield most power.

A new article states that millennials have terrible conversational skills. When asked for comment, millennials texted a series of crying frowny faces. - Conan O'Brien
