Fox host Lou Dobbs says U.S. Marshals should haul Obama back to America


On Friday, Lou Dobbs, host of the Fox Business program Lou Dobbs Tonight, came to the defense of President Donald Trump over a veiled attack on him by former President Barack Obama.
After Obama sniped at Trump for his Twitter habits at a forum in India last week, Dobbs joked that Obama should be brought back by the U.S. Marshals. “Isn’t there some law that says presidents shouldn’t be attacking sitting presidents?” he asked.

Insults from Abroad

Just weeks after Trump arrived back in the United States from a tour in Asia, Obama embarked on his own tour. At a leadership forum in New Delhi on Friday, Obama made comments ostensibly aimed at his successor.
During the forum, Obama was asked to respond to critical statements his wife, former first lady Michelle Obama, made Tuesday during a speech in Toronto. Michelle Obama had said it is not a good idea to “tweet from bed,” a shot aimed at Trump’s habitual morning tweets.  
The former-President seconded his wife’s criticism. “Michelle was giving the general idea … don’t say the first thing that pops in your head. Have a little bit of an edit function,” he said.
“Think before you speak, think before you tweet,” Obama instructed, before going on to boast about having 100 million followers. “I actually have more than other people who use it more often.”
Trump has roughly 44 million followers on Twitter; nearly half of the 97.5 million Obama took over eight years to accrue, while Trump has held the same office for just over one year.

Dobbs Defends Trump

Dobbs has no more patience for the Obamas’ condescension — and worse, their habit of traveling the world taking pot shots at the current U.S. president. “I think U.S. Marshals should follow him, and any time he wants to go follow the president like he is, and behave — I mean, this is just bad manners. It’s boorish, it’s absurd, he doesn’t realize how foolish he looks,” Dobbs told his guest, Forbes Media Chairman Steve Forbes.
Dobbs went on, “I mean, he should be brought back by the Marshals. Isn’t there some law that says presidents shouldn’t be attacking sitting presidents?” Forbes responded, “There’s an unwritten one, sort of a Logan Act for ex-presidents,” but clarified that it was not enforceable.
A critical opponent of Obama’s perceived globalist policies, Dobbs added, “He calls it destructive populism, I guess he prefers destructive elitism. At least the people get a voice now.”

Obama Breaks With Predecessor

Obama has broken with contemporary standards set by his predecessor former President George W. Bush. Bush once said regarding the abstention from criticizing a sitting President, “It’s a hard job. He’s got plenty on his agenda. It’s difficult. A former president doesn’t need to make it any harder.”
Unlike his predecessor, Obama has publicly slammed Trump for an array of decisions, including his decision to end the Deferred Action Against Childhood Arrivals program. But Obama’s divisive commentary is the last thing we need at a time when U.S. citizens more than ever should be brought together, not driven apart.

SOUTHWEST AIRLINES: PICTURE OF PASSENGERS DURING EMERGENCY LANDING SHOWS WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS WATCH THE SAFETY VIDEO

Image
The recent  Southwest Airlines tragedy  that claimed the life of a  woman who was sucked through an aircraft window  also showed up a worrying lack of knowledge about basic safety procedures. An image shared online by Marty Martinez, a passenger on board flight 1380 from New York to Dallas, shows him and his fellow passengers wearing oxygen masks, which dropped down after one of the jet’s engines blew. Oxygen masks should be placed over the nose and mouth (Facebook/Marty Martinez ) However, as travel expert and former flight attendant Bobby Laurie pointed out on social media, none of the people in the picture are wearing their masks correctly. He tweeted : “PEOPLE: Listen to your flight attendants! ALMOST EVERYONE in this photo from @SouthwestAir #SWA1380 today is wearing their mask WRONG. Put down the phone, stop with the selfies and LISTEN. **Cover your NOSE AND MOUTH.”    In the photo, the three passengers clearly shown only have the mask over their mouths,

Nunes Says This Is Only The Tip of the Iceberg & Discloses His Next Target

Image
Devin Nunes set off a storm with the FISA memo, which now has the whole nation talking. Reactions have been split, with many saying this is a major break through and there should be prosecutions. While others, mainly from the left, are saying this is a bunch of nothing. Nunes has come under harsh attack from the left since the memo’s release, with some even going as far to say he is a Russian agent. Brett Baier was able to have a moment to ask Nunes about what he thinks about the aftermath of the release and what comes next. And what Nunes said will likely not cause the situation to simmer down. In fact, it appears that this is just the beginning. See The Video Below: NUNES REVEALS WHO HIS NEXT TARGET IS Devin Nunes appeared calm and collected in his interview, despite the new BOMB he dropped on the State Departmemt. Nunes said the recent memo release “completes the FISA-abuse portion” of the investigation and stated: “We are in the middle of (what he calls)

Donald Trump 'to cancel Guantanamo Bay closure' and 'load it up with bad dudes'

Image
Donald Trump is set to reverse an order by former President Barack Obama to close Guantanamo Bay, it has been claimed. The notorious military prison holds suspected terrorists but has attracted fierce criticism from human rights groups. During his time in office, President Obama signed an executive order for Guantanamo to be closed "as soon as practicable". In practice, he wasn't able to end the facility entirely due to opposition from US Congress. But hundreds of prisoners were moved to the mainland and just 41 remain. During his presidential campaign, Donald Trump made clear his support for Guantanamo and said he wanted to "load it up with bad dudes". According to Politico, he now intends to come good on that promise and will start by signing an executive order reversing the Obama mandate. He is expected to make the announcement during the State of the Union address on Tuesday or perhaps before, the reports claim.
