| The State Department stood by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice Monday, rejecting calls by Republicans that she step down Asked to comment on demands by Rep. Peter King, R-New York, that Rice step down for what he says were misleading comments about the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters: "Secretary (Hillary) Clinton believes that Ambassador Rice has done a superb job, so let's just start there, and we completely reject any such calls here in this building."

Why how magnanimous of Madam Hillary!
To think that this strong woman has the character to stand by Ms. Rice who was only sent out like a sacrificial lamb in the first place to cover for Ms. Rodham's complete and utter Charlie Foxtrot (look it up) of a foreign policy in Libya and elsewhere in the Mid-East.
Her Thighness isn't called the Queen of Chutzpah for nothing.

Well of course she does, especially when the Regime's propaganda machine just excepts it and moves on to the next shiny item to distract voters.

The Dems never clean house unless and until the media demands it, which they never do, of the Dems, that is. If it were a R Administration, Rice would have been gone last week. And, they never would have allowed her to get up and lie like she did. The press would have ripped her to pieces for days on the front pages of every newspaper in the country. They would have hounded her unmercifully.
By the way, Akin stood up to the dogs in the media. Not sure what I think of the guy, but he is one of the few that has ever withstood their biased hounding.

I think Susan Rice should be promoted and sent to Libya as Steven's replacement.

Rice is simply incompetent but so is the UN and the present administration. Zero is going to get a lot of people killed by failing to back Israel. If A-Jad and his nutball buddies use a nuke on Israel then Tehran will cease to exist. The Jews will not go quietly. There are a lot of truly innocent people in Tehran.....men, women and children. And as an afterthought, Mecca might be transformed into a smoking hole in the ground.
If this debacle story continues much longer, the WH will throw her under the bus. I could almost feel sorry for her. She was told what to say and had to stand up and recite a brazen lie. Note I said 'almost'.

The war hen hawks stick together. Just waiting for Mrs. Cass Sunstein, Samantha Power, to chime in on this fiasco.
So much blood on the hands of all of these hen hawks and their bogus U.N. Response to Protect excuse to send US troops to any he**-hole in the world they want to "protect".

"...a superb job, so let's just start there"
Your blanket approval is not the point PIAPS. She intentionally misinformed the American people regarding a terrorist attack--that is actionable and contemptable behavior by an important figure within the State Dept.
I second the House Armed Forces Chairman in asking for her resignation--tomorrow! This is way beyond sandlot politics--you Madame Secretary are a complete disgrace to the United State of America.

Has it come out just WHY Susan Rice got the task of going on 5 Sunday shows to present the flimsy lies of the Administration?
Nobody from the Cabinet or National Security Agency wanted to sink that low?
They drew straws?
Rice was judged to be the most convincing liar? She was offered a financial package?

The U.S. has identified five men who might be responsible for the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, last year, and has enough evidence to justify seizing them by military force as suspected terrorists, officials say. But there isn´t enough proof to try them in a U.S. civilian court as the Obama administration prefers. The men remain at large while the FBI gathers evidence. But the investigation has been slowed by the reduced U.S. intelligence presence in the region since the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks, and by the limited ability to assist by Libya´s post-revolutionary law

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Earlier this week I wrote a piece about how Barack Obama was criticizing “Washington’s priorities” and the IRS scandal, as if he had not been president for the past four years and four months. There is something brazen and audacious in even attempting something like this. I speculated that Mr. Obama is unable to take responsibility for the problems that have occurred on his watch for reasons rooted in cognitive dissonance (failures cannot possibly happen on the watch of the Great and Mighty Obama). He is engaged in what psychiatrists call disassociation

A California Tea Party group has become the first to sue the Internal Revenue Service over the targeting of conservative groups. The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati by the NorCal Tea Party Patriots alleges that the IRS violated the constitutional rights of the group by applying "intensive and intrusive scrutiny" when they applied for tax-exempt status. “NorCal and its members suffered years of delay and expense while awaiting the exemption and spending valuable time and money answering the IRS´ questions.

I’ve always been an admirer of President Barack Obama. One can only marvel at a man who writes his autobiography before he does anything noteworthy. Some critics have labeled him a narcissist, but I say it’s just good, old American can-do attitude. You have to appreciate a man who has never experienced the complexities of a paper route or the discipline of the Boy Scouts becoming President, and leading the world’s largest economy and commanding history’s most powerful military. Upon taking command, he was faced with severe economic troubles, due to the actions of Presidents Carter

One of many good things you can say about President Obama is that he is loyal to his friends. But sometimes, he is loyal to a fault, as is the case with Attorney General Eric Holder. Presidential buddy or not, it’s time for Holder to go. You expect a Democratic attorney general to make Republicans unhappy — which Holder has, on several fronts. He was even held in contempt of Congress by House Republicans over the “Fast and Furious” gun-walking scandal.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
