Apparently no one has diaried this which surprises me because when a story of this magnitude breaks there are at least two or three diaries posted immediately. I am total shock! My heart is heavy and my hands tremble as I type this. In the back of my mind there was always a concern that the Repugs would find something to take down President Obama but I never thought it would happen. I am horrified that my worst fears are now a reality.
At first it was reported on Drudge and Faux News and I thought that certainly allegations of this nature would be immediately refuted by the administration. After all, a direct link between our President and Al Quaeda must be a fabrication. I just thought that this was just another smear job, like Obama is a Muslim (not that that should have been a smear, but to them it meant he was unelectable) or that Obama was a Socialist, Fascist, Manchurian candidate, etc. Sadly I was wrong. The MSM has picked up on this and even the CIA, NSA and FBI have confirmed that this link is genuine and compelling. I am nearly suicidal at what we as a nation will be experiencing over the next few months and how this will affect all of our hopes and aspirations for our nation.
Perhaps Obama, who has always appeared to place our county first, will do the right thing and resign, but these recent revelations clearly indicate that he is not the man we all thought he was and that we truly didn't know who he was in his heart. Nancy Pelosi is on TV being interviewed as I type this. I have never seen anything like it. She can hardly speak, her eyes are misty, I think I just saw a tear trickle down her cheek. Oh God, it is true!!! She has just announced that she has discussed these allegations with top Democratic officials and that they have no choice. She has called on Obama to resign. If he doesn't tender his resignation by Monday morning, Congress shall commence impeachment proceedings!! They wouldn't impeach Bush but now they are going to start proceedings against Obama! Do we live in bizarro world? She has just confirmed all my worst fears. This changes everything! This will undoubtedly reinvigorate the Republican Party.
I always thought that if there were going to be impeachment hearings, it would Bybee not Obama. I am sick at heart. Perhaps we should have noticed the little clues. He didn't wear an American Flag pin. Michelle wasn't proud of our nation. How could we have missed these obvious signals? Were we all so taken by his charm, good looks, intellect and masterful command of the English language? Did we all so crave an inspirational leader that we were blinded to his flaws?
Now we face the prospect of Joe Biden taking the helm and leading us through these troubled waters. While Joe is a capable leader (although I am still pissed by his vote on the bankruptcy bill in 2005), I am afraid that his association with Obama will taint his ability to lead. After all, isn't he one of Obama's inner circle?
What gets me is that the evidence is so overwhelming. I must be so naive. I had no idea that if you request dijon mustard on your hamburger that this is compelling evidence of a link to Bin Laden. Apparently if your are a member of an Al Quaeda cell in the US and are sitting in a burger joint and someone orders a hamburger without ketchup but with dijon mustard, that he is one of you. Who would have thunk it?
Oh no, now they are saying that since Joe Biden likes ketchup on his scrambled eggs, he's Hamas!!! Well it looks like 3 1/2 years of President Pelosi.
