One of the limousines in Barack Obama's fleet has broken after reports that it was mistakenly filled with the wrong fuel at the start of the US president's visit to Israel.

Another limo is on its way from Jordan, according to Ma'an News agency, citing Israel's Channel 10, to replace one that was filled with diesel instead of gasolene.
Ma'an reports:
Hebrew-language websites described the malfunctioning limo, brought from Washington specially for the visit, as the first unforseen incident during Obama's three-day visit to the region.
Obama is scheduled to leave the airport to Jerusalem in a helicopter. A parade of Black Hawk helicopters will follow the presidential helicopter carrying his delegation.

So who is responsible for that
In the history of presidential visits abroad or domestically, i have never heard of a presidential limo 'breaking down' and a back up having to be flown in. they always have more than one with them. And who is responsible for fueling these things? You would think that was someone's specific job and that something like this would be impossible. Apparently not.

Just a Fun Loving Kid
What is it about these so called American celebrities and sports stars that makes them gravitate toward communist dictators and sing their praises? All he wants to do is listen to disco music and watch sports? Really? And seeing as he and Obama both like basketball, they have something in common.
I am pretty sure that Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin liked to eat, but just because I like to eat doesn't mean that we have anything in common. I seriously wish that Dennis Rodman and Sean Penn would hop a fast freight out of America and never come back. Let them go live in bliss with their depot buddies and leave the rest of us alone and ignorant to their stupidity. .
Jong-un is a fun-loving “kid” who would rather listen to pop music than start a nuclear war, his new best friend Dennis Rodman claims.
Instead of dreaming up ways to annihilate the West, the Supreme Leader spends most of his free time watching American sports and listening to 1980s disco tracks, according to the oddball retired US basketball star.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, multi-tattooed Dennis insisted: “Kim is not one of these Saddam Hussein-type characters that wants to take over the world.
“He doesn’t want to kill anyone — he wants to talk peace.”
And after letting slip that Kim might have recently fathered a successor, Dennis added that the chubby despot is only being forced to act tough towards the West by the menacing generals who surround him.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star last month became the first outsider to hang out with Kim at his marble-clad palace in North Korean capital Pyongyang.
And he claims he returned from his trip with a message of hope for President Obama. He said: “Kim told me to pass on a message that he said is very important. He said, ‘Tell President Obama to call me. Because if we can talk, we can work this out.’ There is no need for war. Kim doesn’t want to bomb anyone.
“He loves basketball and so does President Obama, so they have that in common — and there is even more they could talk about if Obama would just pick up the phone and call him.”

The Devil Is In The Details
You decide......There is an obvious resemblance and the meaning of that has to pique people's interest.
Why does the devil in 'The Bible' look exactly like President Obama?
Sunday evening's episode of the History Channel's hit series 'The Bible' threw up an awkward coincidence when viewers noticed that Satan bore a remarkable resemblance to President Obama.
Twitter exploded into life during the airing of the latest edition of the Mark Burnett-produced series with most noting the striking similarities between the 44th President and the devil played by actor Mehdi Ouzaani.
The show has been a surprise hit in the ratings, with the religious mini-series attracting 13.1 million viewers on Wednesday - topping television leviathan American Idol's 12.8 million viewers on Wednesday.
The New Gold
The new gold isn't gold. The new gold is ammo. Those who have it will be able to barter above and beyond the value of simple gold coins. Homeland Security and other federal agencies have bought billions of rounds of ammunition over the last six months. The government is stockpiling ammo, food and medical supplies.
Smart people will do the same. The government can't be wrong. Right?

Thousands Line Up Outside Cal Expo Gun Show To Buy Ammunition
Thousands of people lined up for hours outside Cal Expo to buy ammunition. The line wrapped around the building for the first day of the two-day gun show.
You’ve heard the early bird gets the worm. At the Crossroads of the West gun show it couldn’t be truer.
“We got here at 5:45 a.m.,” said one person. “We were 64th and it took us 3.5 hours.
“”This is for my rifle,” said an attendee.
Ammunition is a hot commodity at Cal Expo.
“I was planning on buying some ammunition around here but the line actually wrapped around the building,” said Galen Miller.
“What many people are coming for is ammo because there isn’t any available in the traditional channels,” said gun show owner Bob Templeton.
And the heated debate on gun control is prompting some gun owners like Miller to stock up.

A New WIng Emerging
Finally..... A new wing of the American conservative party is rising. This is not your father's GOP anymore folks and it's about damn time. I could never vote for the father, but I can vote for the son. Americans need to pay close attention to what the democrats and Obama have done to this county and by the time we get to the 2016 election, I am relatively sure they will have. It is time for a new star rising and Rand Paul is that star. Forget the Jendals, and the Rubio's and the Ryan's, Paul is the one who will lead his people out of the desert and back into the promised land in four years.And in my mind's eye? He reminds me a lot of Ronald Reagan.
Rand Paul wins The Washington Times-CPAC 2013 Straw Poll
Sen. Rand Paul won the 2013 Washington Times-CPAC presidential preference straw poll Saturday, and Sen. Marco Rubio was a close second, easily outdistancing the rest of the field and signaling the rise of a new generation of conservative leaders who will take the Republican Party into the 2016 election.
Mr. Paul won 25 percent of the vote, and Mr. Rubio collected 23 percent. Former Sen. Rick Santorum was third with just 8 percent, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — who was not invited to speak at the three-day Conservative Political Action Conference — was next with 7 percent, and Rep. Paul D. Ryan, the GOP’s vice presidential nominee last year, was fifth with 6 percent.

San Francisco won't tolerate islamaphobia
Tuesday, March 12, 2013
So.....it looks like war with Islam? It will be interesting to see how he dances on the head of a pin on this one. Will he carry out his planned visit? Or will he bow to the militant Arab world. I am thinking the latter.
‘Declaration Of War’ If Obama Visits Temple Mount
Hamas is warning that if President Obama visits the Temple Mount it would be a “declaration of war” against the Islamic world.
Israel National News reports the terror group made the threat during a protest march at the religious site following riots on Friday.
Mushir al-Masri, a Hamas spokesman, called for a third intifada if Obama visits the contested religious site in Jerusalem’s Old City between Israelis and Muslims.
Public Security Minister Yitzchak Aharonovich believes the warning will lead to violence flaring up in the region ahead of the president’s visit.
“The Palestinians have not said the final word yet and we expect that there will be attempts to take advantage of the upcomingevents, like the visit by Barack Obama, in order to continue the violence,” Aharonovich told Israel National News.
White House officials have said Obama doesn’t plan on visiting the Temple Mount during his trip.
Both Israelis and Muslims have claimed sovereignty over the Temple Mount since Israel liberated the site during the 1967 Six-Day War. Israel left the Waqf in charge of the compound.
