President Obama has given career diplomat Robert Ford a recess appointment to the ambassadorship of Syria, bypassing Senators who had blocked the appointment for months. Regular readers may recall that this appointment caused angst among Syrian dissidents at a protest I reported on in April. Michael Young has an excellent column on why sending an ambassador to Syria now, for the first time in five years, is "remarkably foolish." He's being kind; this appointment is shameful.

not the first thing obama has done that is shameful, and surely won't be the last.

Is this Legal to do?

This is but a hair on the mole on the ass of the disease-ridden Jackass that Obama has brought home. If the jackass and piles of crap it leaves all over the floor won't offend the lazy, ignorant people (who should care but don't) then what makes you think anybody would notice the hair on the mole on the ass of the ass?

So, one has to ask, to whose benefit is this appointment? It certaintly isn't the United States.
Therefore, by default, he must be working in the interests of the Islamic States (all 57 of them).

Once it is understood that Barack Obama is both a communist and a Muslim, everything becomes clear.

This may explain the President, but it doesn't explain his cabinet nor the Dem congressional leadership.
