Obama Talks to Rouhani - a Nightmare for Israel

History was made on Friday when U.S. & Iran?s leaders spoke for the first time since 1979. Rouhani, the newly elected President of Iran has been on a ?charm offensive? since taking over from one of the world?s most hated men, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and has been described by the mainstream media as a ?moderate.?

The president of Iran has virtually no power. It is merely a symbolic position, since the supreme leader Khamenei has all the power and approves all of the nominees for the presidential position.

And?Rouhani is hardly a moderate. Israeli PM Netanyahu described him properly as a ?wolf in sheep?s clothing.? Just a few days before the UN general assembly, Rouhani attended a rally which called for the destruction of Israel. In a recently released video interview, Rouhani brags about how he managed to deceive the West as Iran?s chief nuclear negotiator and how the country?s 150 centrifuges grew to over 1,700 by the time he left the nuclear project.

As the leader of the free world, President Barack Hussein Obama must be aware of all this. So the question is, why does Obama want to negotiate with a terrorist regime like Iran? Many of the Obama bashers claim that he is na?ve or an amateur, but I categorically reject that argument. To most pro-Americans, Obama?s presidency seems like an utter failure, eerily similar to the presidency of Jimmy Carter in the 1970s.

But I contend that Obama does not get results that are opposite to what he intends, and that he knows exactly what he is doing.

Three incredible achievements of Obama that suggest he is not an amateur include being elected as president of the United States, the most unknown politician ever to hold that office. The second?is being re-elected with the worst economic record to ever re-elect a president since 1936. And the third is that he managed to get Obamacare passed (the biggest expansion of government in U.S. history), something for which the progressive movement has been yearning for the past 100 years.

Those?who are familiar with Iran?s stall tactics know that nothing will get in the way of their pursuit of nuclear weapons. It has been their number one foreign policy since 1979,? based on the destruction of Israel which will bring forth the hidden 12th imam and the re-establishment of the Islamic Caliphate.

So why does Obama jump at the chance to talk to President Rouhani, thereby giving the Iranian Regime more time to stall? The answer is simple: Obama does not mind the possibility?that Iran may obtain nuclear weapons.

The above statment may seem highly cynical, but a closer look at Obama?s domestic and foreign policy gives?plenty of clues illuminating?his worldview. In a previous op-ed for Arutz Sheva, I argued the case that Obama (and granted most of the American far-left) ?sees America as the bully of the world? thus Obama?s foreign policy has been characterized by punishing and weakening the West while rewarding the failures of the world.?

Domestically, Obama is transforming the most prosperous nation in the history of the world into a European nanny state. He has doubled the national debt in one presidency, he has spent more money than all of the former U.S. Presidents combined (if you take out the money spent during World War II), he has doubled the amount of people on food stamps and is presiding over the lowest employment participation rate since the early 1970s.

Obama is doing this to level the playing field; he is ensuring that America will no longer be the leader of the free world. That is why he has slashed America?s nuclear arsenal without assuring that America?s enemies do the same. By allowing another anti-Western country to develop nuclear weapons, he is furthering that cause.

To fully understand Obama?s worldview, watch the second highest grossing political documentary of all time, ?2016: Obama?s America.?

He views Israel?s mere existence as a problem and feels that the world would be better off without it.
For a U.S. President, Obama has a very negative view of Israel, something I discussed in another former op-ed for Arutz Sheva that you can read here.?There are reports published by the Washington Free Beacon that claim Obama ?vetoed? an Israeli strike on Iran in 2012.

Obama, and again, most of the American far-left, believe that by solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they?will bring peace to the Middle East. But I believe Obama wants to take it one step further. He views Israel?s mere existence as a problem and feels that the world would be better off without it.

That is why Obama hasn?t taken any significant actions to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.?The U.S. has increased sanctions against Iran during his presidency, but it is in spite of Obama, not because of Obama.

Therefore one can predict two possible outcomes to Iran?s pursuit of nuclear weapons: 1) Iran launches nuclear weapons towards Israel or 2) Israel (unilaterally) destroys Iran?s nuclear facilities.

And when one of those possibilities becomes a certainty, Obama will claim that he has done everything in his power to solve the Iranian nuclear weapons pursuit diplomatically.

College of Charleston faculty want academic leader as new president

Faculty members at the College of Charleston were alarmed when they heard that local political figures were expressing interest in the soon-to-be vacant president?s post.

The Faculty Senate took action this week when it unanimously passed a resolution calling for the school?s Board of Trustees to conduct a national search for its next president, and to hire someone knowledgeable and experienced in higher education.

But while the faculty is pushing for someone with academic experience, the local business community is hoping for someone who understands economic development, and at least one legislator thinks the right local politician could made a great leader.

George Benson, the school?s current president, announced last month that he would step down in June 2014. Since then, former South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford publicly has announced that she is interested in the job, and the names of State Rep. Chip Limehouse and Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell also have been mentioned.

Todd Grantham, a philosophy professor at the college, said he decided to craft the resolution after hearing news reports that local political figures were interested in the job. He became deeply concerned, he said. ?We think it?s really important that someone understand the nature of higher education.?

Greg Padgett, chairman of the college?s Board of Trustees, said the board is working now to create the process it will use to select the college?s next president, and he said the group will be able to announce the process in about a month. He is certain it will be thorough, fair and inclusive, he said, and that it will include a national search.

The board conducted national searches before selecting Benson and his predecessor, Lee Higdon. Benson?s annual salary is about $366,000, with $166,000 of that coming from the state and $200,000 from the College of Charleston Foundation.

Data presented at the Faculty Senate meeting Tuesday indicated that many faculty members are not satisfied with Benson?s administration. According to data from the Great Colleges to Work For survey made available by the Chronicle of Higher Education, only 43 percent of faculty members were satisfied with the school?s senior administration.

Brian McGee, Benson?s chief of staff, said senior administration includes only the president and employees who directly report to him. But, he said, it was clear from written comments that some people included their perceptions of academic deans and board members in their responses.

Lynn Cherry, Speaker of the Faculty, said a new president probably won?t be able to immediately improve the satisfaction with senior administration. But the new president could remedy the situation if he or she could effectively communicate faculty concerns to the board and ?had an understanding and appreciation for the challenges higher education faces.?

Mary Graham, senior vice president of business advocacy for the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce, said business leaders think differently about Benson. ?From our standpoint, President Benson has been a great leader to work with.?

Benson did more than work inside the college, she said, he worked in the business community as well. She hopes the next president also will have the skills to work closely with the business community. The college?s liberal arts programs are important, she said, but the school also should focus on technology and business.

State Rep. Jim Merrill, R-Charleston, said he?s not convinced that the college needs to conduct an expensive national search.

He has heard McConnell?s name mentioned as a possible successor to Benson, and he thinks McConnell would make a great leader. ?He?s experienced, connected and intelligent,? Merrill said. ?It would be foolish of the college not to consider him.?

The college has had other successful leaders who didn?t come from academic backgrounds, he said, such as Alex Sanders, former chief judge of the South Carolina Court of Appeals, who was president from 1992 to 2001.

Amazon gets Apple's false advertising claim dismissed from trademark infringement lawsuit

It's been awhile since we last had news from Apple's App Store-based trademark infringement lawsuit against Amazon. Today, Amazon got Apple's claim for false advertising dismissed from that very same case after filing for partial summary judgement. In finding for Amazon, the judge held that Apple failed to identify a single false statement (expressly stated or implied) that Amazon made about the nature, characteristics, or quality of the Amazon Appstore that would deceive customers into thinking it was the same as the Apple App Store -- a legal requirement to establish false advertising under federal law. Not a bad way for Bezos to ring in the new year, eh?

Lawsuit filed over lawyer's masturbation allegations is settled ...

Former coworkers in a downtown New Orleans law firm have settled a lawsuit stemming from allegations that one of the lawyers repeatedly masturbated in the other lawyer's office, soiling a dress she had left hanging on her door and other belongings. A criminal case arising from the same allegations is still pending in New Orleans Criminal District Court.

The settlement between the woman alleging she was the victim and the lawyer she sued last year, Keith Magness, led Judge Ross LaDart of the 24th Judicial District Court in Gretna to dismiss the case on Thursday, records show.

Settlement terms were not disclosed. The woman, whom NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune is not naming, sought undisclosed damages from Magness and his insurance company.

Magness faces a Dec. 17 trial in Criminal District Court in New Orleans on charges of simple criminal damage and stalking. He allegedly repeatedly went into her office to masturbate and ejaculated on her dress and elsewhere, including the seat cushion on her desk chair, according to her civil lawsuit.

They were employed in the Barrasso, Usdin, Kupperman, Freeman & Sarver firm at 909 Poydras St. According to the civil lawsuit she filed in Jefferson Parish in February, the woman claimed she noticed a substance appearing on a dress she hung on her office door. Over time, more stains appeared on the dress -- which she threw away -- and elsewhere in the office, she alleged.

The firm's office manager hid a motion-activated video camera in the office. Magness allegedly was videotaped on Aug. 27, 2011, a Saturday, going into the office, laying a dress on her desk and soiling it, according to her lawsuit.

The firm's managing partners immediately fired Magness, according to the lawsuit. The New Orleans Police Department, which booked Magness, found evidence of semen in the office, according to the lawsuit. Magness later opened a private law firm in Gretna.

Magness and his attorney Jason Williams recently lost a bid in the criminal case to bar prosecutors from using the surveillance videotape as evidence during the trial, records show.

WHY IT MATTERS: An election of tipping points

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Election Day could well determine how much you end up paying in taxes. It could move the bar for fighting future wars. On energy, it could shape the balance between drill-baby-drill (and mine-baby-mine) and some big pollution controls. If you care about Obamacare, this may be your last, best chance to save it or unravel it ? with your vote.

Long after the fuss fades over President Barack Obama's snoozy debate opener and Mitt Romney's weird flub or two, one of them will be hard at work trying to make good on his agenda. This will include pressing any opportunity to reshape the Supreme Court, which hovers over all other issues.

The winner's policies are almost certain to find you where you live, no matter how far you are from Washington in your mind or your place. The taxman cometh. So does the Social Security check for retirees ? and the shakier-by-the-decade promise of those checks for everyone else.

Obama's mandate for almost everyone to have health insurance ? along with all the coverage protections that flow from that ? constitutes the largest reshaping of social policy in generations, with the effects to be felt ever more as the law takes firmer hold in the next few years. If Romney wins and gets enough like-minded people in Congress, he would reset that and try something else.

Though farther from home, the outsourcing of production overseas goes to the heart of American communities large and small as factory jobs vanish, or in some cases come back. Seemingly esoteric subjects like the value of China's currency and the fine print of trade deals affect what you pay for goods and perhaps whether you or the neighbors have work. Less obviously, the debt crisis on a faraway continent affects credit in the U.S. What happens in Greece, Spain and beyond may put your home loan out of reach if the turmoil gets out of hand.

Romney and Obama have sharp differences on these subjects and more, though they don't always make them easy to see. Much of the final leg of the campaign is about reaching for the middle ground. So nothing too radical, please.

For Romney, that means suddenly talking about his interest in seeing Pell grants rise for low-income college students, not about the major changes in government programs that would be required for him even to get close to his deficit-cutting goals.

For Obama, it means preaching fiscal discipline and an aggressive stance on energy production, not focusing on the tax increases for higher-end insurance policies in his health care law or the mercury pollution controls that could shut dozens of coal-fired power plants across the country. Although Obama failed to persuade a Democratic Congress to pass limits he promised on carbon emissions and he shelved a plan to toughen health standards on lung-damaging smog, a second term could give a second wind to steps like these.

Both candidates talk about cutting unnecessary regulation, but Romney's view of what's unnecessary is far more expansive than the Democrat's. That's part of a larger, fundamental and familiar divide between the two parties on the proper responsibilities of government.

Voters, like candidates, can't predict what economic calamity will come out of the blue. But it's clear both from records and rhetoric that Obama believes in the power of government and the Treasury to stimulate growth, add jobs and even save industries in ways that Romney doesn't. On Nov. 6, voters choose governing principles as much as a list of positions.

That holds true on foreign policy, too. At the moment, Romney comes across as more aggressive against Iran and on the conflict in Syria. On Afghanistan, he now supports the president's plan to end U.S. combat in 2014 and appears to have dropped his qualification that a withdrawal will depend on conditions on the ground at the time. Apparently modest differences may come to nothing after the campaign, or they could prove substantive ? determining whether the U.S. truly extricates itself from one war and how willing it will be to fight another.

The choice in the election doesn't just matter on the issues the candidates want to talk about. It can matter just as much on the issues they avoid. This is where the Supreme Court comes in.

With four justices in their 70s, there's a strong chance the next president will have a chance to fill at least one seat on a court closely divided between conservatives and liberals. One new face on the bench could mean a major change in civil liberties, gay relationships, gun control, health care, the approach to terrorism, perhaps access to abortion, and more, for years to come.

All told, a lot of tipping points on Election Day. That's democracy for you.

Raw General Manager AJ Lee called to emergency WWE Board meeting

This afternoon, mere hours before Raw kicks off in her home state of New Jersey, Raw General Manager AJ Lee posted the following on her official Twitter account:

@WWEAJLee: Been called to an emergency meeting with the WWE Board of Directors at #WWE Global HQ. #Confused #RAW

Earlier this month, the WWE Board of Directors put the eccentric authority figure on probation for slapping Paul Heyman. It is unknown at this time, however, whether AJ?s meeting with board members today in Stamford, Conn., is in any way related to her job performance.

AJ Lee?s confusion on the nature of this meeting is no doubt shared by the entire WWE Universe. Perhaps some answers will come to light tonight on Raw, live at 8/7 CT on USA Network.
