Author: Obama Rejected Numerous Proposals to Retrieve Lost U.S. Drone …

Apart from the obvious — Islamic Iran, China and Russia now have state-of-the-art stealth technology and we lose a killer app in the war against the enemies of freedom, the most troubling aspect of this story is that Obama had a window of opportunity to retrieve the critical intelligence gathering drone and rejected it. He left it there for the murdering mullahs. With early knowledge that the aircraft had likely remained intact, the senior U.S. official also told Fox News that …
Gay donors fuel Obama's 2012 bid – Catholic Citizens

The left-leaning super-rich, including George Soros, see Obama as hopelessly compromised and have lost their enthusiasm for him. Some Wall Street and hedge fund executives, tired of being criticized and regulated, have …
It’s somewhat hard to believe that this conversation took place on an MSNBC panel.
And I’m somewhat stunned by it!
On Morning Joe, a consensus emerged that Barack Obama doesn’t believe he has failed America, but rather that America has failed him.
Joe Scarborough encapsulated, saying,
"Obama sees our version of democracy as a stumbling block to his greatness".
More quotes:
"He believes that the country is not commensurate with his gifts".
"He thinks this country has an 18th constitutional republic that needs significant updating".
"He sees elected leaders from across the country as a stumbling block".
"And he sees democracy as …".
"He sees this government as a stumbling block that’s getting in the way of his greatness!".
I never thought I’d say it but,
"If this was on Morning Jow, then it must be true".
Does this video signify the end of the leftist MSM’s support for Obama?
That Obama was coming from the extreme left was never in doubt because he was a member of the New Party (communist) just twelve years before he was elected.
And he didn’t quit his prominent role; the courts shut the New Party down!
Did the MSM believe that he would be less left than his past portrayed?
Who knows, but let’s hope that they now understand and continue to downgrade him.
He has to go and maybe now there is a uniformity or opinion on it!?

Rupert Murdoch's News International 'Sought to Destroy My Life …

At a Leveson Inquiry hearing, Mark Lewis recounted his horror at seeing the publisher's surveillance tapes of his 14-year-old daughter.
Rupert Murdoch Sells Nearly All His Nonvoting News Corp. Shares …
mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com11/22/11
Rupert Murdoch has sold almost all of his nonvoting shares in News Corporation, but because of the company's dual-class voting shares he still controls the company. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission …
Twenty years after flirting with bankruptcy, Rupert Murdoch is now on the verge of his biggest deal.
The proposed transaction is a complete takeover of UK satellite television operator British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB), which would cement News Corporation’s move away from relying on the cyclical advertising market to drive earnings.
Instead, the BSkyB business, as well as News Corp’s global suite of cable TV channels and satellite TV businesses in Italy, Germany and elsewhere, would put the company squarely in the content and distribution business, and be far less prone to advertising’s vicarious ups and downs.
It would also continue News Corp’s migration towards direct consumer subscription revenues!
* Keith Rupert Murdoch, AC, KSG, born 11 March 1931 is an Australian-American media mogul and the Chairman and CEO of News Corporation.
Risk And Reward
Twenty years ago Murdoch was facing bankruptcy!
He’d invested heavily in BSkyB which had pretty much drained News Corporation, and it was rumored that he recently paid of his mortgages, which caused a great many investors to sweat.
But today Sky is the giant of television and in addition to soccer Sky Arts, National Geographic and the History Channeland much much more.
How Much Does Murdoch Control The Content?
In the two decades that he has owned the channel, not one editor or journalist that I know of has suggested that he interfered or even made suggestions about news coverage.
How incredible!
Now, twenty years later, Murdoch is on the verge of the biggest deal of his life, benefiting from the greatest of all capitalist drivers, namely risk and reward.
At a conference in London recently he used a quote about the lack of business adventure in Britain:
"We’ve got to get rid of the fear of failure in this country. In America, people start things, fail and shake themselves down and start things again. The animal spirit of capitalism is stronger there".
How Did Murdoch Achieve A Monopoly?
In a nutshell, nobody else had the guts, the nerve or the stunning management skill to take on the establishment.
When he was losing literally hundreds of millions on Sky, his competitors were delighted but now that he has made the greatest television success in all our lifetimes, they yell foul.
What The West Is Now Lacking
Surely with the US and Europe facing bankruptcy, what is urgently needed are more people like Rupert Murdoch.
And dare I say it, "No more Obamas!", because he and his ilk have yet to understand Margaret Thatcher who famously said, "Socialism is fine, until you run out of spending other people’s money!".
