The AP reports,The Pentagon’s senior judge overseeing terror trials at Guantanamo Bay dropped charges Thursday against an al-Qaida suspect in the 2000 USS Cole bombing, upholding President Barack Obama’s order to freeze military tribunals there.
The charges against suspected al-Qaida bomber Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri marked the last active Guantanamo war crimes case.
Diane McDaniels lost her son James when terrorists bombed the USS Cole On October 12, 2000. 17 American sailors died in that terrorist attack. McDaniels told Fox News Neil Cavuto that she refused an invitation to the White House to meet with President Obama today.
What Obama did to the families of these victims was AWFUL! ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!! There are no other words and absolutely NO EXCUSES for this!!
I pray every day that Obama gets BOOTED OUT OF OFFICE!
THANK GOD for Dr. Orly's blog - DEFEND OUR FREEDOMS.US, all her efforts on the Alan Keyes case against Obama's ineligibility for POTUS, and keeping us up to date on the 40 plus other lawsuits and issues surrounding the USURPER AND FRAUD - OBAMA!

Many bloggers have already shared the following article and link at their blogs. However, if you haven't read it yet - you ought to. And, read through all of the comments. My thanks go to blogger Orionjri for telling me about the article.
America: What Have You Done? by Melanie Phillips
The entire article is excellent. Ms. Phillips nails it! Too bad our Lamestream Media doesn't report the truth like this woman just did!!
Her conclusion is absolutely flawless about the lawless thug Obama & his corrupt cronies:
And how did the 44th President react to the growing public dismay over the mess he was making? He threw his toys out of the pram -- or perhaps that should read, he got into the pram. For he fled the scene of the disaster and sought the company of seven year-olds instead. As the Telegraph reported:‘We were just tired of being in the White House,’ he told a group of excited seven-year-olds before discussing Batman and reading them a book.
Tired of being President – after two weeks!
Tax cheats, pork-barrel politics, ancillary child abuse, incompetence, chaos, treachery and infantilism. America – what have you done?!
This comment has been selected from the 133 (most of them quite good) posted after the article because of the irony and hypocrisy that is revealed regarding Obama's "LIAR LIAR CRISIS FIRE" BLOVIATING ABOUT THE STIMUWASTE BILL :
His first trip WASN'T to visit school kids, but to attend a Democratic political strategy retreat at a resort in Williamsburg that cost the US taxpayers millions of dollars. It's only 100 miles away, but he took AirForce One from DC to Richmond (short hop) at a million+ dollar expense -- he could have taken a helicopter there in an hour at a fraction of that cost!!! Nooo...has to fly Air Force One. And the whole time he's a luxury resort with leading Democrats they are screaming at us about there being a crisis!!!

I wonder whether or not the grieving mother in the above video, Diane McDaniels, is (was) aware of the bloggers who properly vetted Barack Hussein Obama (and specifically warned voters about his Chicago corruption, friend to terrorist Ayers, anti-military mindset, neo-Marxist worldview, death-to-unborn-babies holocaust support, Alinsky brain dirtying corruption, hate-spewing preacher, Muslim upbringing and radical alliances, pay to play illegal politics etc.) over the course of the primaries and general election campaigns.
The following article, written by Rev. Bresciani reveals the truth about what type of media did the better job of vetting Obama. It was DEFINITELY THE BLOGS!

Daily Kos, Factcheck And Snopes Or How To Vet A Presidential Candidate
by Rev Bresciani
Even though the main stream media ignores the Obama birth certificate controversy it still rages on the internet in articles and blogs. Is it extraneous nonsense, conspiracy claptrap and internet hype. Not by a long shot. Here's why.
Because of the Supreme Courts refusal to hear the cases put before them after conferencing them the speculation about Obama's missing documents including his signed birth certificate from the state of Hawaii, the mystery grows, the intrigue is compelling and the arguments have become the most volatile on the web.
In the absence of judicial intervention all the questioners and petitioners have only one avenue of recourse and that is to keep plugging away. With new cases arising and old cases still pending the latest thrust is to approach legislators with the question.
Often overlooked is the simple wisdom used in the logic of both the main stream media and the naysayers in general. In fact the very premise the naysayers are basing their argument on should be turned on them to be most effective. What is that argument?
If the main stream media completely ignores the whole matter it looks like it is no more than the ranting of a few conspiracy theorists and discontented blogospherians. It is a way of saying that the internet hasn't a clue and bloggers are just blabbermouths to start with so how could they possibly approach the dignity and acceptability of the of the msm? This idea should be set against the pompous for the greatest effect. That argument goes like this.
It was not the Supreme Court that vetted Obama, not the state courts, not the election commissions, not the attorneys general, not the legislature, not the DNC and not the Hawaii Office of Vital Statistics. Just who did vet Barack Obama? You guessed it, the internet!
The document Obama and the DNC offered which is now alleged to be fraudulent was posted only to the internet. The Daily Kos may be the high holy blog spot for space mountain type ego-centric wordsmithing, foul language and liberal blather but it is not the Supreme Court. Snopes and Factcheck are pretty close neighbors to the Kos. Regardless of who owns these sites they are merely more of the same; the internet!
When the msm, the DNC or anyone else tries to portray the Obama documentation activists as a group of conspiracy enthusiasts limited to the undisciplined ravings of the internet it is truly the pot calling the kettle black.
Nothing significant about Obama's past has ever gone beyond the internet. Should he or his ka-zillion swaggering adorers be surprised that some Americans are now asking for much more than that? Haven't they noticed that those who are now raising the question of Obama's eligibility are only reporting on the internet they are not asking the internet to settle the issue. That's more than we've gotten so far!
I am not a legal expert or well versed constitutionalist but I'm certain that the vetting of presidential candidates was never assigned by any law of this land to the internet. It was Barack Obama who showed his documents to the world on a medium that shows countless hours of videos where people try to jump off buildings on to a watermelon or swallow rubber ducky's to entertain the blithering. Should we take them seriously, should we take him seriously?
I will not callously insult the fine internet sites that exist by lumping them all in the same category. What I must do is remind those seeking the truth that if it is the only medium you now have to get to the truth until someone in our legal system catches the drift, so keep holding the line and know that millions of us are counting on you.
Just when all hope seems gone the tide has begun to change. Obama's naiveté in foreign affairs is looking more Carter-ish and his ability to swing votes in the bailout battle makes him look weak at home or at the least too inexperienced as many have sagely warned.
Then along comes Guantanamo judge Col. James L. Pohl who recently rejected the president's request to halt the proceedings of the military tribunal being conducted to prosecute terrorism suspects. Kudos to the Colonel! Maybe he will embolden the squeamish Supremes and other judges to re-think their refusals to let the matter be answered once and for all.
Until Obama offers more than an internet vetting of his documents those who are now forced to air their grievances and questions only on the web should not be the least bit dismayed. They are doing no better or worse than Barack Obama even without the msm and an entourage of entranced worshippers. /quote
