So Much for Those Obama Promises to the LEFT … Obama Officials Step Back from 2011 Afghanistan Exit Date
RUT-ROH … there will be hell to pay for Obama in Liberal Moonbat Land on this one …
It was one of Barack Obama’s campaign promises to the LEFT, that the US would be out of Afghanistan by July 2011. However, much like the many other promises like the closing of GITMO, Cap & Tax, et all … Obama appears to be back tracking. Obama officials are now publicly abandoning the July 2011 deadlines for the withdrawal from the war in Afghanistan.
Hey LEFT, Who’s your Obamamessiah now?
The Obama administration has decided to begin publicly walking away from what it once touted as key deadlines in the war in Afghanistan in an effort to de-emphasize President Barack Obama’s pledge that he’d begin withdrawing U.S. forces in July 2011, administration and military officials have told McClatchy.
The new policy will be on display next week during a conference of NATO countries in Lisbon, Portugal, where the administration hopes to introduce a timeline that calls for the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces from Afghanistan by 2014, the year when Afghan President Hamid Karzaionce said Afghan troops could provide their own security, three senior officials told McClatchy, along with others speaking anonymously as a matter of policy.
Oh how the LEFT is going to howl on this one as “The One” flip-flops on the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Obama had been told by many critics not to put a time line on the withdrawal; however, it fell upon his deaf ears. Now it not only looks like bad policy, Obama looks foolish in having to go back on his campaign promise. As Right Wing News aptly states, what did the LEFT think was going to occur, all of Obama’s promises come with an expiration date.
What a year ago had been touted as an extensive December review of the strategy now also will be less expansive and will offer no major changes in strategy, the officials told McClatchy. So far, the U.S. Central Command, the military division that oversees Afghanistan operations, hasn’t submitted any kind of withdrawal order for forces for the July deadline, two of those officials told McClatchy.
The shift already has begun privately and came in part because U.S. officials realized that conditions in Afghanistan were unlikely to allow a speedy withdrawal.
“During our assessments, we looked at if we continue to move forward at this pace, how long before we can fully transition to the Afghans? And we found that we cannot fully transition to the Afghans by July 2011,” said one senior administration official. “So we felt we couldn’t focus on July 2011 but the period it will take to make the full transition.”
Wait for the liberal backlash on this one from the LEFT. can you say a Howard Dean challenge in the 2012 Democrat Presidental primary against Obama.

MSNBC Host Lawrence O’Donnell Admitts, “I am a Socialist” … Really, Who Would Have Thunk It?
Following the 2012 Midterm elections and the “shellacking” they received, the LEFT is losing their minds. It would appear that they noe feel there is no need to hide the truth … MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell admitted … “I am a socialist”.
The truth shall set you free Lawrence, however, as the Gateway Pundit stated, so you are a socialist, “now tell us some thing we don’t know”.
More VIDEO can be seen at The Blaze.
UPDATE I: From Salon … self proclaimed socialist Lawrence O’Donnell now denied his own words. Wtach are you going to believe, O’Donnell’s words or your lies eyes and ears?
O’Donnell repeatedly insisted that I had attributed to him views that he did not actually express, and several times repeated that he said none of what I criticized him for saying; after the segment, he continued spouting that same accusation. As I told him both during the segment and after, only the transcript will resolve that question, and — as I’ll demonstrate in a moment — it does. First, here is the entirety of what I wrote about his remarks:

Because Liberals Never Bring HITLER signs to Rallies … They Claim only Tea Party Do Such Things
Looks like Hitler mustaches on a Leftist sign to me …
So much for the LEFT’s claims that only “Hitler” signs show up at Tea Party rallies. Look what popped up at this weekends “Bring in the Clowns” non-political rally in DC. From MSNBCcomes the following Hitler sign from the moonbat LEFT present at this weekends Jon Steward “sanity” insanity rally. The rally was supposed to embody working together, so much for that.
We can see that the LEFT has put Hitler mustaches on pics of the likes of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Republican Reps John Boehner and Eric Cantor. Just an FYI … Eric Cantor is a Jew, how absolutely sick and disgusting is this from the LEFT? Just another thing you will never see on the MSM.
Oh and by the way, 215,000 people … REALLY! REALLY? Hardly. Let’s take a look at Patterico Pontification’s pic of the Stewart and Beck events. You make the call.

Pin Heads & Patriots: Tax Funded NPR Fires Juan Williams for Expressing his Freedom of Speech Regarding the Muslim Dilemma
PIN HEAD: NPR – PATRIOT: Juan Williams and Fox News.
Liberals are just so reasonable and understanding to an opposing point of view. Welcome to NPR … National Progressive Radio, or is it National Pin Head radio?
NPR, National Public Radio, has fired Fox News contributor Juan Williams for comments that he made on Fox News regarding Muslims. Williams made his comments regarding Muslims on The O’Reilly Factor with Bill O’Reilly when discussing the “Muslim dilemma”. What did Williams say that was so inflammatory that it warranted his firing … nothing more than any common sense thinking individual does. However, in the world of liberal propaganda media, that cannot be tolerated.
So much for Freedom of Speech when it comes to the LEFT and the liberal MSM. How foolish do these “pinheads” look when the very tenants of liberalism and free thought are shown for what they really are? Do not agree with us or you will be fired! Liberals and the moonbat LEFT, hell the Obama White House has attacked Fox News … yet isn’t it telling that FOX NEWS allows differing opinion; however, the LEFT does not. So much for “Fair & Balanced”. Remember when the Obama WH tried to ban Fox News from pool reporters?
How bad, evil and insipid has the LEFT become when an individual like Juan Williams who has championed civil rights in America is shamelessly fired for providing an obvious opinion? I do not agree with most of the things that Juan Williams says and as a matter of fact most of the time I just shake my head; however, a differing opinion in the news id what is wanted and needed. I thought the LEFT stood for diversity, or at least they claim to … I guess not!
What about the fairness doctrine that the Liberals are so enamored with? First we have the crazy ladies of the view, Whoopie Goldberg and Joy Bahar, storm off the view in a hissy fit … now this. I wonder how Juan Williams feels about “political correctness” these days? By simply making a statement regarding how Americans felt about post 9-11 travel after 3000 individuals were murdered by flying planes into building … that is a firable offence. WAKE UP AMERICA!
NPR said in a statement that it gave Mr. Williams notice of his termination on Wednesday night.
The move came after Mr. Williams, who is also a Fox News political analyst, appeared on the “The O’Reilly Factor” on Monday. On the show, the host, Bill O’Reilly, asked him to respond to the notion that the United States was facing a “Muslim dilemma.” Mr. O’Reilly said, “The cold truth is that in the world today jihad, aided and abetted by some Muslim nations, is the biggest threat on the planet.”
Mr. Williams said he concurred with Mr. O’Reilly.
He continued: “I mean, look, Bill, I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”
Mr. Williams also made reference to the Pakistani immigrant who pleaded guilty this month to trying to plant a car bomb in Times Square. “He said the war with Muslims, America’s war is just beginning, first drop of blood. I don’t think there’s any way to get away from these facts,” Mr. Williams said.
As Weasel Zippers states, so much for a diversity of opinion on American tax funded NPR. So much for “fair & balanced” from NPR, eh? Williams was fired from NPR because he did not toe the company, progressive, liberal line. The NPR statement said that William’s remarks “were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR”. WHAT? Did NPR just call themselves “bed wetting liberals” with a political agenda? Are not they supposed to be a tax funded news organization that is partially tax funded?
NPR said in its statement that the remarks “were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR.”
And yes American, you are paying for this programming.

Even George Soros Throws in the Towel on Obama & Democrats, “I Can’t Stop a Republican Avalanche”
Some people say the 2010 midterm elections will be a tsunami for the Republicans, others say it will be an “AVALANCHE”.
While President Obama, VP Joe Biden and the rest of the Democrats and their shills in the MSM try and spin an optimistic picture that Democrats are making a rebound ahead on the midterm elections, George Soros, the far LEFT champion and money behind liberal and progressives has thrown in the towel. Soros stated, “I don’t believe in standing in the way of an avalanche.”
Mr. Soros, a champion of liberal causes, has been directing his money to groups that work on health care and the environment, rather than electoral politics. Asked if the prospect of Republican control of one or both houses of Congress concerned him, he said: “It does, because I think they are pushing the wrong policies, but I’m not in a position to stop it. I don’t believe in standing in the way of an avalanche.”
As stated at Hot Air, the first rule of investing is do not put your money in a company that is about to trash. According to all reports, the Democrat party is about to crash and burn in a major way in the 2010 midterm elections. Rasmussen’s Generic Congressional ballot has Republicans up by 11% over Democrats, the Cook Political Report has many Democrat House seats in play while Gallup has Democrats in huge trouble with both high and low voter turn out.
Even though behind the scenes Soros is funding other front groups, it is rather telling that he would publicly state that he is taking away the Democrat’s credit card. Looks like we can include Soros as those that look to make Obama look bad in 2010.
