We view Russia as a great power. Los Angeles Times-World, Monday, July 27, 2009, by Paul Richter, from Washington. Clinton’s words aim to calm Moscow after Biden described Russia as a country with a badly damaged economy, a fragile banking system and a leadership that is “clinging to something in the past that is not sustainable.”
“A slip of the foot you may get over, but a slip of the tongue you may not get over.”

Perhaps more succinctly The Irish Times, (Monday, July 27, 2009, by Daniel Dombey and Catherine Belton, reporting from Moscow), printed that “The Kremlin demanded clarification of Biden’s remarks.”
Notice the difference in reporting. The Los Angeles Times reported the incident but did not choose to express the anger, (though implied), that Russians are feeling over Biden’s latest faux pas. The truth of the matter is the U.S. mainstream media couched the incident as a disagreement that was smoothed over by Clinton, when in fact nothing was resolved. The incident is a wrench thrown in Obama’s initiative to accommodate reconciliation between Russia and the U.S.
The European main stream media, (who allegedly love Obama), are rubbing their hands with glee, because the implication is that Obama does not have control of Biden, (which will sell the news in these hard times), who will apparently say whatever he feels like saying, and Obama doesn’t know what to do about it, (even though what Biden said is what everyone else in Washington thinks.)
What probably, (I believe), frustrates the President most is that there is no medication or, (if you will), psychotropic drug that can control Biden’s loose lips. However, I bet the CIA probably has something in it’s medicine cabinet that could control Biden, however, once NancyPelosi got wind of it, (after not being briefed), she might take umbrage in it’s application because she may fear that someone might want to give her the same solution for her big mouth.
Meanwhile, Hillary, (I will not now, not ever when, not ever then, will never ever, won’t never again run for the presidency- again), is sitting in the wings like a Cheshire cat – patiently waiting, building her reputation as a calming voice in the storm, and building a resume of foreign policy experience for when she will, not now, not ever when, not ever then, will never ever, won’t never ever again – run for the presidency- again. Just my opinion.

Incomprehensible is an electorate that heard all the melodrama and lack of syntax or corroboration during the campaign, yet never truly listened. I predicted that this country would elect these people, and that they would in-turn, teach this nation a lesson they would never forget. Our very way of life is being dangled in its demise before our eyes. We have a huge, decade’s old testimony to the pattern and practice of the falsehood of the Democratic Party exploding in its stranglehold of freedom and integrity in New Jersey, my home state.
So this is what the party of my parents, the working man, union man, downtrodden and poor did in my stead as I was unaware. Decades of siphoning money, peddling influence; building their own empires at the expense of the poor and projecting blame and suspicions on the watchdogs. Fairness Doctrine so they could manipulate mainstream media, radio, television to cover their activities.
Now we have what we have.
A president who is my his own words and incredibly incompetent actions shown himself to be a leftist saboteur turned arsonist, a racist who has deeply offended and betrayed selflessness in action in so many police officers as their deaths are up 20 percent over last year already as of May 2009.
The betrayal and sabotage of the intelligence community is monumental and has shown our enemies once again that we can be divided, divisible by a
deception and omission to the electorate the entire time he ran for office; no one listens. They hear but they do not listen to what is being said-and how it is being said.
They have been carried away by their lusts and desires for material gain while they now have a leader who provides what they feel rather than the foundations and genesis of how and why this nation was created. We have detached from that to our demise and peril.
The incompetence of this administration in foreign affairs is incredibly dangerous, bolstered by their willingness to abandon their police and intelligence community. Their penchant to condescend and lecture, in this latest buffoonery by Biden or the projection of blame on Mexico is incredibly not naiveté at all. It is the Mens Rea turned Actus Rea of the leftist radical.
The mental and heartfelt values turned to action. The coming days will get worse as I predicted, we will see more of this incompetence, abandonment of principle and patriotic fervor. These people are not patriots, and I conclude this not from my own opinion, from their decisionsm words and actions just since January 2009.
