| President Obama was visibly angry today after Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham pledged to block Susan Rice, a potential Secretary of State, over her role in explaining the aftermath of the Sept. 11th attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. “They should go after me,” he said. Obama has not yet nominated Rice, but she is considered a frontrunner for the post. McCain, R-Ariz., and Graham, R-S.C., today said they would seek to block a potential nomination because, as Graham put it, she is “up to her eyeballs in the Benghazi debacle.”

Comments: Bristles? He was arrogant, hateful and rude. Just like he always is. He showed more outrage and anger regarding this than the deaths of the four Americans. Susan Rice is just another in the long list of incompetent radicals in the regime.

Obama was his usual ugly self and he sounds like the backyard bully defending his turf! What a total fool! We need to support McCain in his effort. He is right.

Hey Bam Bam, actions have consequences. McCain and Graham aren´t a couple of stupid voters, journolists or ballot box stuffers.

It will sure be nice if McCain and Graham do their best to block Susan Rice but I´m not holding my breath. Show some spine guys; you and your party have nothing to lose.

I agree with the Poster of this article.
Does everyone remember how Obama reacted to the murders of our four Americans...because they were American?
Obama didn´t "bristle" over the murders now did he? He "bristles" when one of his robots gets caught telling one of his lies...but shows no emotion at all when four brave Americans are slaughtered by Muslim terrorists.
And then the drama queen in chief talks tough and says to "come after" him.
Got a feeling he will regret those tough fightin words.

Anything like this going forward from the disastrous Nov. 6th election is a joke. We´ve lost. The United States of America is dead. There are petitions for all 50 states with hundreds of thousands of signatures requesting that the states be allowed to secede (on whitehouse.gov). This has never happened before in any Presidential election. We are a house divided, and only a complete reboot initiated by Martial Law, widespread civil disobedience and/or a total financial meltdown will allow us to recreate what we once had. Outlawing the democratic Party would be a good start.

His Cagney imitation, "Come and get me, copper!" doesn´t play well except among other angry, nasty liberals, which we now know is half the country.
To quote Henry II of England, "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?" For four more long, long years, we will have to just endure this poop-storm, if we survive it.

Obama is stupid for nominating someone that´s right in the middle of the cover ups and lies on this story. Obama´s saying she said what was known at the time when they knew it was a terror attack the same day it happened. They had 5 days for another lie and stuck to the old one because they figured the media would swallow it.
Obama was perfectly happy sacrificing those people in the name of muslim outreach.

You´d think that someone like John McCain who spent five and a half years being tortured in a North Vietnamese prison camp would simply laugh at being ´´bristled´´ at by anyone and immediately reply with a firmer statement of his purpose.
But so far, there´s been silence, instead of taking the opportunity to fire back.
So we have a lighter-than-air president who´s never even seen the inside of a military recruiting office acting like a big toughguy, while a former military pilot-war hero refuses to stand up for himself, and his country, after a little pushing and shoving by a ninety-pound weakling.

Zippy said Susie knew nothing about Benghazi - - yes, he did - - so, ummm - - why did Zippy send her out to be the Benghazi spokesperson on five networks?
She knows nothing - - but she´ll tell the world what happened.
Yup - - that´s about the only thing in this disgraceful affair that I actually believe.

The reality is that those who are infatuated with Ø don´t care about Benghazi. That includes 50% of the voters and nearly 100% of the media. This will go away just like Wright, Ayers, Rezko, the phony birth certificate, Solyndra, and on and on.
If you keep harping on it, you´re a racist.

What will it take for the Benghazi incident to bring the Obamanation of Desolation down? My guess is quite a bit.
Since Biden has admitted being in the room when the decision was made. That would mean that both The Obamanation and Plugs would have to go.
Third in line for the presidency is John Boehner. So for demonrats it is of paramount importance to keep a lid on this situation.
I hope they can´t. Boehner may or may not be an effective Speaker of the House but he´d be a far sight better president than the Obamanation of Desolation

Up to her eyeballs. Guess where this measurement leaves Hillary. Hillary is getting waaay to much of a total pass. The Untouchable One is skating, and means she is a big player in spilled blood--the perfect culprit gets a shut out pass. Untouchable. Period. Obama? Probably he knows nothing, missed the debacle, and missed the call, and missed the situation room. Missed it. Because? Valerie didn´t tell him. She likely took care of it.

Republicans have nothing to lose now by calling this punk the liar that he is. The truth is that Chris Stephens was hit in a gangland style because he knew too much. His protection was removed a month before, he was ordered to stay on station, and his friends were told to stand down while the hit was executed for Obama. He was a bump in the road to surrender to "the prophet of Islam." the chief jihadist is Obama himself. Hillary, Susan Rice, the whole crew needs to be exposed, and while we are at it, impeached, for treason. Lay out the case Senators, and redeem yourselves. Petraeus was being blackmailed to lie. Amazing how the military high command is being hollowed out by the skinny communist sabotaur. When are we going to see the military act against this domestic terrorist? Anybody brave enough?

"Benghazi" -- an event that will live in infamy for some, and as a book mark for others, like "Haight-Ashbury" -- is the signal to muslims he is "standing down" in the Middle East. What else do you call a "death stare" given to SEALs in peril, and now to generals who had access to all his secrets and agreed, "Don´t ask; don´t tell". Alas, Israel. "Benghazi" -- is also the cover for something as jarring and skillful as overthrowing the country with a controlled election. Maybe the IT work was sold to the highest bidder -- as in "Skyfall." According to today´s "presser", Mitt is immediately going to cross the aisle with some helpful business ideas, that he knows will be peed on. These are all very wealthy people who can sleep well no matter what -- in Mitt´s case he is performing as a righteous, if quiet man -- maybe because the New World Order "ship has already sailed."

"They have let it slip by because of politics, and now we´ve taken all the correlation we had and dropped the ball because of risk (aversion) -- and now the security in Libya is more fragile than ever," one U.S. special operator told Fox News.

Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has apologized for remarks Monday in which he linked Oklahoma "cyclones" to climate change while berating Republicans for their stance on the issue -- around the time a massive tornado killed dozens in that state. A Whitehouse spokesman said Tuesday the politically charged remarks were pre-written as part of the senator’s weekly Senate floor speech on climate change. “Tragically and unbeknownst to the senator at the time, a series of tornadoes were hitting Oklahoma at the same moment he gave his remarks,” the spokesman said.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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

Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
