Benghazi: Emperor Obama's Waterloo?

| It is now obvious that the U.S. government's original story about the Benghazi consulate attack, delivered by its two heaviest hitters, the president and secretary of state, was false, and, more importantly, that it was intended to deceive. How can Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton outrun the scandal that now chases them, a scandal that makes Watergate look like cheating at tiddlywinks? As if "Fast and Furious" weren't enough, the administration now gives America "Slow and Spurious."

"Fairness" does not allow much room for honesty. Advancing the agenda and controlling the narrative are all that matters.
The "Revolution" may be coming but not the one they want.

A great and detailed article on Benghazi and the arrogant lies Obama told. The 2nd Presidential debate showed how the complicit media actively works to cover up Obama's lies.

The MSM will lie and cover up for Obama. The editorial in our local fish wrapper is a good example. Gives credit to Crowley for keeping Romney under control. Makes snide remarks about Romney and Obama's remarks about the Libya attack. In all it is a puking bit of butt kissing lies.

The realization of those "thinking and reasonable liberals" over the next two weeks will turn the election into a rout by Mr. Romney. Barack Obama will finally be seen as the fraud that he is....

America has a short attention span. It's better to take your lumps and move on. These idiots kept their story alive only to justify cutting the military and saying all we need is special forces units. Pure craziness.

Just watched Fox & Friends comparison clips of Emperor Zero taking credit for being tough war hero pResident in speeches a week apart where in the early one he mentions al qaida on the run, and the one yesterday he doesn't.
What a fraud. And the people behind him, cheering his every utterance. Every time, I wonder if they actually hear what he's saying.... or, like Pavlov dogs, they respond JUST BECAUSE he's saying - something. Anything. Doesn't matter what.
We conservatives see Romney's faults, and we accept the fact he's not perfect, hoping we can work him to the right a little more after the election (depends on all our congressional races, folks). We always see reality squarely and deal with it as necessary.
These people behind Obama in his speeches - mostly college kids of course - whatever happened to youthful rebellion against authority? He has so convinced them that HE is the counter-authority. Well, he IS one of them, I suppose - perpetually immature, stuck at their age.
Prayer time again.....

Candy Crowley became the topic of discussion from the 2nd Presidential debate for people who watched it. I have never seen my son in law so animated when talking about politics as when he wanted to share his observations about that debate. He is just 30 years old and he was outraged that Crowley had interrupted Mitt Romney's point. I think this will backfire on the Obama minions, BIG TIME, as Dick Cheney would say.

The old sleight of hand of a magician or master mind-manipulator or natural born pathological liar and you have the man in the White House who wants us not to look in the real direction, The direction of big win by alQaeda both on the ground slaking their blood lust but the propaganda victory as they drive our national narrative with help of the CIC and our corrupt lamestream media-self important narcissists all.
While we are looking the other way and at obama's Libya lie (what is one more klie to him? His media idjits have his back.)al Qaeda is dancing in the streets, around bon fires and abusing the dead bodies of their recent kills--raping, looting and pillaging. ( How do they keep Bill Clinton away?)
Sad fact is that al Qaeda is winning a propaganda war and the obama admin is helping them and the lamesstream media is aiding and abetting. Money to the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood so they can bomb the Nile dams of their neighbors? Sure was good move by the warrior valkyries (We came, we saw, he died Hillary, exulting at her kill as Ghaddafi was being object sodomized for sport by the tribal brutes.)
We do not understand them but their fellows educated in the West or by Old Ned himself DO understand us. They are winning the propaganda war and rioting to win concessions to change the world in other forms of Jihad.
Bottom line, it may be obama's Waterloo but for the wrong reason that it should be. He should be having to face the fact of his failure to protect the American people from propaganda and deceit of a group he nostalgically favors due mixing and melding with the more peaceful Indonesian Muslims of his youth?

What I want to know is why, during Tuesday's debate and AFTER Crowley skewered Axelrod on her own CNN program re: use of the word terrorism, Obama said (twice) "LOOK AT THE TRANSCRIPT", which Crowley just happened to have with her.........(.even though she later had to walk BACK the fact that Obama was using the word terror generically at the END of a Rose Garden address ) after which he hopped AF1 to Las Vegas for a fundraiser, something Crowley also neglected to pursue( though THAT was the question)...the damage was done, and apparently Crowley is being celebrated at CNN, another reason NOT to watch that network.

In addition to the military cuts mentioned at #5, the Harriburg Patriot News hid this story deep within, assigning it to a blurb position. The 54-word first paragraph is all one sentence. Awful writing.
'A federal appeals court Tuesday threw out the terrorism conviction of a high-profile former detainee at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Salim Hamdan, a Yemeni who served as Osama bin Laden's driver and bodyguard and whose case led to a landmark 2006 Supreme Court ruling striking down the Bush administation's first version of military commissions.' ....'The decision delivered a blow to the military commissions system, reducing the chances that many other detainees at Guantanamo will receive trials.'

#14, perfect. Hasn't the WH now been allegedly given the name of the terrorist who assassinated Stevens? This is a complete wag the dog: Obama comes walking forward in the debate, all offended about politicizing Steven's death and sternly tells the nation how he won't stop until those responsible are found. What amazing timing that just after his speech, the terrorist or useful idiot has been named. I suspect the Seals are already in place for a weekend attack. Perhaps he'll be buried at sea so he won't become a martyr. All of this just in time for the final debate.

The writer does a pretty good job until the end when he fizzles before saying just what is wrong with the Arab Spring and why the president and SoS were trying to protect its image. For that we'll have to go here:
On the strategic level, this administration has been a complete disaster. Obama has moved decisively against allies, failed to complete a Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq (a grave and inexcusable mistake), and joined the naïve rush to endorse the various “Arab Spring” revolts and the resulting Islamist governments. As we pull out of Afghanistan, Obama’s Middle East legacy will be a hostile Egypt, Iran substantially closer to a nuclear bomb, Syria in chaos, Iraq slipping into neutrality (at best), portions of Libya under jihadist control, Afghanistan under renewed Taliban assault, and America as despised as it’s ever been, with the black flag of jihad hoisted over embassy after embassy. Oh, but we’ll have drones orbiting overhead, launching the occasional pinprick strike. Do you feel more secure?

I wish some investigative reporter would backtrack on the "Arab Spring". Was this started by some of Captain Zero's players to get all these countries under the Muslim Brotherhood control? The guy who won over Christine McDonnell for Senate was in Kenya some years back and was trying to set up an uprising of the youth there until he was chased out of the country. Code Pink (Medea Benjamin) was a supporter along with some others flew in to support the removal of Gadaffi and Murbarak--Andrew Breitbart confronted her on a plane trip from the East to California.

As furious as I am about the Candy Crowley cover for Obama, I wonder if it will help Romney. If America was level headed and clear thinking, maybe. Jimmy Kimmel did a piece the night before the debate and asked people who they thought won and why. The debate hadn't even taken place yet and the people they interviewed claimed to have seen it and what impressed them most about it. I cry for our country when I think about this younger generation who worships the ground this guy walks on because they think every thing is going to be free for them.

The most important aspect of this scandal is not being reported by anyone: The willingness of Obama, Clinton, et al, to trash the first amendment and free speech before the entire world. What precedent has that set? Furthermore, they were more than willing to ruin the life of an American citizen. That's disgusting.

The rhetorical and obvious question that is asked in this article is an easy one to answer. How will this travesty of incompetence, stupidity, and venality (playing politics with peoples lives)avoid being the fabled albatross around obama's neck? Easy! It will be shunted aside by the FDM (Federally Directed Media) thus becoming a non-story. It is happening already and according to the FDM, it pales in importance when compared to KILLING BIG BIRD.

They lie because the truth about aspects of 0bama's MENA policy. Think of a MENA Fast and Furious where instead of weapons going to the Sinaloa cartel, they are going to Al Qaeda.
The question is whether Ambassador Stevens was set up to be killed, was part of a plot to free the blind sheikh or was part of a botched kidnapping plot to make 0bama look good just before the election.

Don't question the lack of truth, the deception, lies and sleight of hand. It's all part of the process and they obviously have enough people snowballed that they think they can steal another election. It's not just Obama, he's a wooden dummy and has many people pulling his strings. The only thing that will bring truth back to the table will be a merciless housecleaning of government or full-scale revolution. Joseph Goebbels proved that these deception tactics work all too well and are very hard to fight through peaceful means because half of the population is delusional and is all too willing to be led to the slaughterhouse on the promise of another free meal. Fair play and appeasement will not save us but the 2nd amendment will.

The Coptic Christian that placed "Innocence of Muslims" in YouTube is still in Federal Prison in Los Angeles. The Pakistani doctor that gave proof of Osama for Obama is in prison too.
Obama apologized six times for the video in front of our enemies at the UN General Assembly on September 24. Monica's Boyfriend's Wife purchased TV commercials of Herself and Obama in Pakistan.
The US Embassy in Cairo apologized for the video before they were attacked on September 11, 2012. The mob was directed by Mohammed al-Zawahiri, the brother of the al-Quaida leader, and they flew the Black Colors of al-Quaidain our embassy.
Having a Muslim-educated president did not help us, did it?

I feel sorry for Seal Team Six and all the other Special Operations personnel who are being set up for a dangerous mission, probably this weekend, just so Øbama can look tough on foreign policy in Monday night's debate. He will send them on this mission regardless of the intelligence evaluation of the situation. He claims that our poor Libyan intelligence was responsible for the surprise attack in the first place and will now launch his "Wag the Dog" campaign video based upon the intelligence from the same groups.

Open hiring practices: that's what America needs, as well as this painfully awaited election. We need to know the hiring practices of all the unionized networks and newspapers. Showing big taxing government favoritism, regardless of whether or not they are already Communists, is the way any applicant qualifies. What are the tests they give to get into the world of Josef Geobbels? Hiring practices disclosure is a next big step in our New Media world of cleaning Old Media house, and eliminating criminal broadcasters, those who approve of anything socialist. So called "news people" stay in office forever, as long as they tow the Communist Party Line, or it's easily disguisable equivalent, like the soft Party Line, the way Marxist teachers throughout America disable thinking, otherwise healthy kids. Remember, for all time, one of the last new projects from Andrew Breitbart before his sudden, mysterious death, was his declaration that he was beginning a BREITBART EDUCATION.COM inviting children and parents to submit secret classroom videos showing teachers all across America as they indoctrinate the kids with "cultural Marxism". This is part of the do or die housecleaning needed to remove 60 plus years of communist marxist damage.

Here's what Romney should do in the next debate.
"Now, I want to make sure I understand what you were telling me last week in the second debate. You said that you knew this was a terrorist attack on the day AFTER the killings took place. Correct?"
O - "Uhhhh... ahh.... yes, but first let me..."
Romney "Well. I hope you can understand my confusion here, because all I heard for the next two weeks was that these attacks were the result of a spontaneous mob action that was precipitated by anger to a YouTube video. Susan Rice said it. Your Press Secretary said it. Hillary Clinton said it. The State Department ran ads on Pakistani TV that alluded to it. And, Mr. President, you said it on two talk shows as well as on the floor of the United Nations where your address mentioned the video now fewer than 6 times. What I want to know is this. How could you let the charade continue for two WEEKS after you claimed to have KNOWN this was a clear terrorist attack?"
This will bury Obama.

In one of his more well-publicized gaffes, Vice President Biden said of John McCain: "Look, John´s last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs." Actually, of course, it´s a four-letter word, and it was his job and the president´s to create a climate for job expansion, and they failed. The evidence is now overwhelming: they have created the worst employment climate in decades.

When your article inspires a big-city mayor to refer your case to a "human-relations commission," you know you´ve hit a nerve. And when that article is the recent "Being White in Philly" piece by liberal Robert Huber, you know it doesn´t take much truth to hit that nerve. That´s the scary part. Huber´s article contains mostly tepid examples of whites´ negative experiences with blacks and primarily black neighborhoods, such as a Philadelphia resident whose grill was stolen from her backyard but "blames herself" for not fencing it in. Its tone is basically apologetic, absolving a drug dealer of responsibility

That´s something to remember when you arrive there next week. Israel has a government, elected by its people in a free, fair, open and democratic election. Multiple parties representing widely divergent points of view met a wildly diverse electorate through free media and open debate. This is no stultified two-party affair with a libertarian insurgency. Israel will be the only country you visit in the region, this time or any other, that has a fully democratic system. Do not be swayed by the "apartheid" slander. Citizens of Israel are Jews, Moslems, Christians, and Druze, each with religious and non-religious elements.

Prodded by a president with a weakness for racial agitation and enabled by a politically complicit media, the State of Florida persists in a prosecution that can come to no good end. The defendant is neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. The charge is the second-degree murder. The potential outcomes range from major injustice, if Zimmerman is convicted, to mayhem in the streets, if he´s acquitted. And the state plods on as though the angels were on its side. They are not. The witnesses to the February 2012 shooting of 17 year-old Trayvon Martin are proving even more troublesome

The political world changed its orbit Wednesday as Rand Paul seized the spotlight in his March 6 filibuster. Rand Paul -- not this author´s favorite before -- is probably now the 2016 front-runner for president. But the difference results from fundamental changes in substance. How can one day be that big of a deal? Because Rand Paul demonstrated a reproducible, winning formula. It was as if Ronald Reagan were granted just one day to come back to Earth to remind the Party of Lincoln of "how it´s done." Rand demonstrated a repeatable formula that all Republicans can copy.

Sixty-three months ago Barack Obama officially declared his candidacy for President. Only now are some among the so-called media and ruling elites in America slowly awakening from their self-induced infatuation and beginning to understand who he is. It has become difficult to ignore the overt intimidation, demagoguery and deliberate falsehoods spewed forth by Obama relative to sequestration -- a miniscule cut in the growth of federal spending. However, any cursory examination of his past reveals that these tactics are second nature to the man who currently occupies the Oval Office.

Years ago, when I used to play poker with some guys, I played a hand in which across the table from me was someone who looked as though he had a straight flush. He kept pumping up the bidding and everyone folded but me. When we finally showed our hands he had nothing. "You don´t know what you´re doing," he yelled. "Any good player would have folded! Why did you stay in?" he shouted angrily. "Because you curled your lip and reacted furiously when I stayed in. Someone with a winning hand would never do that."

By law, on Friday the executive must begin to cut $85 billion from federal spending. Though, as is his wont, the president is blaming the Republicans for what he claims is a draconian measure. No less a Washington chronicler of events than Bob Woodward of the Washington Post considers that a gross distortion of the truth [T]he automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of [Treasury Secretary nominee Jack] Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors -- probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.

Too little serious conservative analysis of the 2012 presidential campaign has yet appeared. This is understandable. The results of the election were disheartening to the point of shock. The campaign defied all historical precedent, all commonsense interpretation. The Romney ticket should not have lost and did not deserve to lose. The Democrats, fielding the least worthy ticket in the past century -- and that´s saying something -- did not deserve to win. The reasons they did are myriad and complex. But before we get too far down the road, there is one lesson that has to be grasped:

No, I´m not talking about Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael (God rest Michael´s tortured soul). I´m talking about the Chicago Jacksons, Jesse Sr. and Jesse Jr. The Jackson 5 in their heyday gave plenty: music, entertainment, and joy to their fans. The Chicago Jacksons are another story. Jesse Sr. (The Right Reverend) and his son (the erstwhile congressman) have done a lot more taking than giving. "Taking" may be too charitable a word. Shaking down and wheedling may be better descriptors for the Chicago Jacksons´ acts.

By now you likely have heard that Chris Rock considers Barack Obama America´s father. If that is true, then would somebody call Child Protective Services and find us foster parents! For Chris Rock, America´s true Founding Fathers were disappointingly white. I suspect that whatever the color of America´s Founding Fathers might have been, they would not have approved of having a failure like Obama among their esteemed membership. Thought the Founding Fathers had many flaws, they were smart enough to eliminate the self-indulgent institution of slavery from America´s future.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
