Polls in, Obama Speaks

Obama's pollsters got the overnight results in and ... he speaks !

His hand-picked appointee to the homeland Security Department was being bashed - rightfully, she's a fool - and the polls showed plenty of slippage for Obama's "leadership" and job approval, so he decides to get off the beach and away from the hula girls to speak about the terrorist attack.

WSJ: "A systemic failure has occurred and I consider that totally unacceptable," the president said, referencing "a mix of human and systemic failure." In his comments, the president cited information "that could have and should have been pieced together."

Gosh, what a revelation ! Anyone, repeat anyone, motivated to protect the American people as a priority would have done something with any single piece of that data. But Obama's people did nothing. Why ? They have other priorities.

This seems to be a failure at the very top - much like W on the Katrina debacle. Three days of silence tells one all that is needed. He just doesn't see this as a priority. That's rather obvious, based on his record on Guantanamo. This is just more confirmation.

This clown is becoming dangerous. Let's hope the outcries force some changes.

  5. well Bman..............i took a pistol safety and shooting lesson here locally........definitely alot of fun.............the thumping of powder ( or whatever u call it) feels good

    i shot a revolver and a sigsauerp226........and 1 other semiautomatic that used 22caliber bullets


    but i got a few issues with the range i go to........mainly safety.......i just don't feel safe there...........my instructor spent alot of time on safety and range ettiquette.....the 2 times i went there on my own............guys were thrown out for not observing the rules


    once for takin the gun out of his holster and shooting ( the gun is always supposed to be on the ledge in front pointed in the safe direction) ......and the other time 2 friends were interchanging each other booths with pistols in hand...........very dangerous

    ReplyDelete
  6. besides the booths are also very close to each other..............i'm literally shooting about the 3 feet form the next guy ....with a thin wood wall between us


    also indoor ranges are not that mmuch fun..............i need an outdoor range............but the problem here is all the outdoor ranges don't rent.........and i don't wanna buy til a shoot a lot of different guns.............this range i go to has over 100 different guns you can rent.........but the range sucks

  7. true, mav.

    I gave him a chance; Mrs. B warned me about that.

  10. I hadn't heard that about gingerbread. Have read a few books about daily life of Civil War soldiers: Billy Yank, Johnny Reb, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  11. as for a gingerbread latte being "too feminine", well .. no comment.
    It's too sweet.

    ReplyDelete
  12. i just emailed a friend of a friend of mine................he owns 3 semiautomatic rifles ( is that the correct terminology)......and he said we can all go to an outdoor range and shoot'em.............i let you know what he owns when he responds

    ReplyDelete
  13. that range does sound dangerous, Bud. Stay away.

    ReplyDelete
  14. an indoor place like that can be OK to test different firearms, but it's not an enjoyable place to shoot.

    ReplyDelete
  15. re NRA, yes, I'm a Benefactor or Patron, whichever the highest level is; also a Golden Eagle.

    Mrs. B is a LIfe member, too.

    ReplyDelete
  16. yes, re terminolgy "semiautomatic rifles"

    those are fun to shoot.

    btw, practice with a .22 is a good idea - learn sighting, trigger control, etc. cheaply with no pain.

  17. The Iowa State Cyclones football team will play the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the Insight Bowl Thursday, Dec. 31 at Sun Devil Stadium.

  22. Bman....I am compiling a list for gun purchases next month...I have done extensive research but some advice from you would much appreciated...if you (Bman) had zero guns today...name the pistols, rifles and shotguns you would buy...I understand a gun is a personal preference.

    ReplyDelete
  23. maybe there is a Dick Miller band; there were many, many big bands.

    Glenn Miller is one of the greats.

    Also, Artie Shaw, Harry James, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman.

    Top Five in my opinion. Different styles are Count Basie, Duke Ellington.

    ReplyDelete
  24. well, Mav ... will think about it. Maybe I'll come up with ten after much culling

    ;)

  25. for hunting (four-legged beasts), it's better to ask frosty.

    my focus is personal protection, practice, civil strife.

  35. big bands, guns,civil war,20,30's show,...flazzhead full court press to get the bunky gold star favorite award ...LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

  36. for auto pistols, always buy two spare magazines made by the manufacturer if possible.
    Aftermarket mags are not always reliable - test them.

    Those hi power rifles are mostly sniper - national match quality, except the lever action one that is a pair for the .357 revolver.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I think keeping home protection to one firearm is rather stupid. I keep five plus some knives & a battle ax.

    ;)

    ReplyDelete
  38. much appreciated Bman...well done

    ReplyDelete
  39. Bunk...nonono 9mm or 362 (30.06)...shame on you...the most universal calibers a must have...feild strip the dead enemy of ammo etc....can't be certain ammo can be purchased worst case.

    ReplyDelete
  40. shotgun is the Benelli semi-auto, so I can cover left-handed corners without exposing myself.

    loaded with two rounds #7 birdshot, then heavy #1 buck & slugs in a mix.

    plenty of spare cartridges in a bandolier plus six in a "sidesaddle"

    ReplyDelete
  41. the Glock is 9mm

    Good point re 30-06; but .308 is rather common now.

    Mine are Garands & a Remington 700 BDL with fine scope.

    IFF I was in more "action", the 9mm firearm would be the Uzi.

    I have some 7.62x39 rifles, but not my favs.
    I don't intend to go on "action" missions overseas at my age.

    ;)

  42. 'five plus some knives & a battle ax'

  45. btw, I know how to shoot the full auto AKs, & if I'm stripping dead of ammo, I can take the assault rifle, too.

    ;)

    ReplyDelete
  46. no tomahawk in the house - the battle ax is much more effective.

    ;)

  47. oh, if you need to worry about armor or vehicles, the Barrett .50 BMG semi auto is the choice.

  53. Bunk chicago pmi 60.0...would that not indicate 3-4% gdp and signal job growth, as you anticipated?...yet you are sitting in jan puts... is there more to this story than you are sharing...I think so

    ReplyDelete
  54. Bunkerman if someone invaded the bunker do you think you'd have the stones to actually shoot and kill him?

    ReplyDelete
  55. If its a home invasion & I notice in time, the Benelli.

    The mossberg pump is for travel, since it's very short with a pistol grip.

    no notice - the dogs delay them a bit & I get the Ruger GP 100 or one of three Smith .38's in one of the various hiding places.

    If I have to do to the door, it's the S&W 642 in pocket or the derringger.

    ReplyDelete
  56. sure, I'd put at least two in the center of mass.

    I know the law well.

    It's "freeze, M-F", then blast if he moves towards me.
