“This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.”
Guess who said it, and to whom: “This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.”
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.

Well, what else would we expect? He already told Netanyahu in no uncertain terms not to take any action against Iran till AFTER the election, letting the Israelis know his own re-election was more important to him than their continued existence. Now he’s doing the same thing to us – his re-election is obviously MUCH more important than the safety & security of the nation. He took an oath of office to protect & defend the United States of America – correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t recall there being anything in that oath that said “…except when my re-election is looming”. Then again, it’s pretty obvious he doesn’t put much stock in the Constitution anyway…
Oh what is the future of a mear nation compared to the glory of “The One”.
;/
Lets help him have lots of free time after his “last election”.
yeh! lets elect a politician that doesn’t care about elections! …. oh wait …
Well, aside from the obvious egotism of saying aloud his thoughts about his own fate vs. the safety & security of the nation (which he swore to uphold), it’s an unbelievably stupid “bargaining” tactic to give away a position before the bargaining even starts. He’s basically telegraphing that he’s willing to pretty much accede to any & all demands the Russians make. Is that the best way to ensure our security? Who does he think Putin is, just some benevolent, friendly, unthreatening guy? “Just a guy in the neighborhood”?? The last arms concessions & giving up missile defense in Eastern Europe have NOT gotten the Russians to help us out in sanctions against Iran or N. Korea. Putin just won (whether fairly or not) re-election & is back in FULL control, with more power & control than ever (basically a dictator now) & has said he wants to return to the glory days of the old Soviet empire, to reconstitute the old Soviet Union or something similar to it. Unlike the U.S., they are NOT standing still – they’re developing new strategic missile sytems & modernizing existing ones, and developing a new generation of high-performance fighters designed to match or exceed the F-22. Meanwhile, Obama pats Medvedev on the knee & says, “No worries mate – we’re with ya! Nothin’ to fear from US ! !”. I have a sickening feeling he’s going to return from those talks waving a piece of paper & declaring “We have peace in our time!” (ala Neville Chamberlain). Don’t know about you, but that does NOT make ME feel safer…
Embrace your fear — sadly, your not being paraniod.
