Benghazi Was Obama's 3 a.m. Call
Wall Street Journal, by Bret Stephens

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 10/2/2012 5:47:31 AM

Why won't the Libya story go away? Why can't the memory of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and his staff be consigned to the same sad-and-sealed file of Americans killed abroad in dangerous line of duty? How has an episode that seemed at first to have been mishandled by the Romney camp become an emblem of a feckless and deluded foreign policy? The story-switching and stonewalling haven't helped. But let's start a little earlier. The hour is 5 p.m., Sept. 11, Washington time, and the scene is an Oval Office meeting

Were they concerned about Libya's 'sovereignty' when they were providing weapons to the rebels/terrorists? Didn't think so. I hope this is Zippy's (and Hillary's) Waterloo.

WSJ misses the elephant in the room.
Question: Why was Stevens in Benghazi in the first place, along with the Navy SEALS?
Answer: They were there to try to recover some of the weapons that President Empty Chair, surreptiously and without Congressional approval, gave to the Libyan rebels for their Arab Spring Break. The ambassador and Navy SEALS were likely killed with those very same weapons.
This is the mideast version of Fast and Furious--Obama's "Iran Contra".
That is why the FBI is not pushing hard to start investigating. That is why there was a coverup.
If Americans knew Obama had armed Al Quaida, and then compounded the error by sending Stevens into Benghazi without appropriate security, they would toss his skinny, worthless butt out of the White House

"It was five in the afternoon when Mr. Obama took his 3 a.m. call. He still flubbed it."

We knew the Clown Prince was going to mess up every little emergency that came his way. When Iran strikes, when China threatens, when Venezuela explodes, the price will be much higher.

But will his adoring hollywood groupies and his starry-eyed college professors and his smitten crowd of single white women even care that his head is pure mush? That is our biggest concern in November.

Not very long ago there was a hilarious YouTube video called "Honey Badger don't care". It perfectly captured the typical Obama voter. Obama Badger don't care about no 3am call. In fact, Obama Badger don't care about no Libya or Fast and Furious or anything else except that free Obamaphone.

Valerie decided that there was no way Obama could be blamed for this terrorist attack. That was all they were concerned about. What or who could they blame it on. We need to know who knew about that video and started the excuse. The man who made the video has a hit on his head. If he is killed, the Obama regime will have more blood on their hands.

If Obama wins, we will witness something that hasn't happened here since 1776. We will see a revival of the Minute Men and that style of thinking. Nothing big or mind boggling but things will start to happen. Like the loose seats in the AA aircraft. Americans will start to think of America as it was. Many government officials who will be empowered to enforce the Obama laws will cease to function for one reason or another. Now there will be many folks who will rejoice in the new "freedom" but it won't last long. They will come to see the error of their ways. It'll take a while but it will be very interesting to see.
You can't stop ideals that nurture your very being and stick them in a box. We are not made that way. But it will be very interesting to watch and see the pieces fall where they do. Let's pay attention, people! Don't let this happen!

Ambassador Stevens and the SEALS were sacrificed to o's agenda. Presumably the Ambassador was a democrat and it begs the question: how many democrats at that level still can't see the reality that they are all expendable(as are we) to o's agenda?

The Obots wanting a phone will not see, but is it possible that even democrats operating at relatively high govt levels are blind to their non-worth in the current administration?

Folks, Benghazi is being covered up pure and simple. This distraction will be milked for all it is worth between now and November 6th to confuse and keep the voters off track (the less the sheep know about Obie's failures, keeps them in line).

Look at the big picture right now. Romney needs to break out...starting now. He needs us, your family, your friends and your friend's friends to get him there. talk to everyone you can (nicely, that is) in hopes some of them will see the light and understand that we are at a cross roads, and need Romney to fix it. A Tea Party candidate will come, just dont have that right now.

Gary Johnson will draw 2 to 3 percent of the vote from folks who would normally poll for Romney. I dont know if Paul is even on the ballot. We dont have a Ralph Nadar this time to suck votes from the dims. Must keep our priorities in place.

To many in our cultural elite, Woody Guthrie is an American saint. The legendary songwriter from Okfuskee County, Oklahoma, is introduced to every American child by way of his folk anthem “This Land Is Your Land.” But for gatekeepers of the arts, Guthrie is much more: All of his work—every song, every article, every poem—is good and honest and true, the gospel according to Woody. What other justification is there for the release of this deservedly long-lost novel? Completed in 1947 but only recently “rediscovered,” House of Earth is an incoherent polemic interspersed with erotic scenes and rambling descriptions

Looks like it’s Let’s Make a Deal time this month, except perhaps for budgets, at least for the moment.

(Snip) The schedule outlined by the aides is meant to satisfy Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who has said repeatedly that he wants a full debate and amendment process, to maximize the chances that the final vote is an overwhelming majority.

‘Comprehensive immigration reform,” a deal on which is reportedly imminent, has a lot of moving parts — too many, in truth, as with most “comprehensive” legislation. Among the costs of comprehensivism is that debate over such bills often gets bogged down in the many details. Americans seeking to evaluate any deal should ask three questions about it to cut through the noise. First: Will it encourage future illegal immigration? This has always been the greatest risk of proposals to provide legal status for current illegal immigrants: that it will be seen as a reason for others to come here illegally

Republican leaders in Congress received a dire warning on Tuesday from former Vice President Dick Cheney on the ongoing crisis in North Korea. “We’re in deep doo doo,” Cheney told lawmakers, according to a GOP leadership aide.

How many federal agencies does it take to do catfish safety inspections? At least three, according to the Government Accountability Office, which on Tuesday released its 2013 report on fragmentation and duplication of federal programs. This year´s report -- there were two previous editions of the report first requested by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla. -- documents an estimated $95 billion in duplicative programs that waste precious tax dollars. That brings the three-year total of potential savings documented by GAO to $295 billion.

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes.

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

As we reported this weekend, liberals have been seething over the inclusion of the chained CPI in Obama´s budget, which they see as a huge betrayal by the Democratic president.
