The Council Has Spoken!, the votes have been cast, and we have the results for this week’s Watcher’s Council match up.
There is no traitor like him whose domestic treason plants the poniard within the breast which trusted to his truth. – Lord Byron
The first method for determining the intelligence of a ruler is to is to look at the men he has around him – Niccolo Machiavelli
This week’s winner by a nose, Joshuapundit’s President Obama Sends Support Message To Radical Muslim Brotherhood Front Group is a report on a very interesting official White House video message sent by our president to an even more interesting organization, whose history I detail. I also ask a question I have heard no mainstream journalist ask, but which I think America deserves an answer to..because it seems to shed light on much of President Obama’s foreign and domestic policy.
No slice this week, since it’s short and sweet..go to the link,watch the message, read what I have to say and draw your own conclusions.
In our non-Council category, the winner was Professor Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit fame, writing in USA Today with Obama is a Laughing Stock submitted by Joshuapundit. It’s about Syria and a masterful beat down of the president’s dangerously farcical performance. Do read it.
For those of our readers whom observe Yom Kippor, G’mar Hativa Tovah.
