| What did the president know, and when did he know it? Of what steel are the Republicans in Congress made? We’re about to find out. Big scandals from little leaks grow. Watergate was at first only “a third-rate burglary.” Bubba thought he was only trying to cover up the details of a failed real-estate scheme down on the White River. Humiliation, resignation and even an impeachment followed. History warns presidents that second terms are never Sunday picnics, and the unfolding — exploding is more accurate — of the story of what really happened on a violent night in Benghazi, Libya,

"What the president knew" is not the issue. The "pResident" is supposed to know, is paid to know -- it is his job to know. Americans now question whether he was legally elected to know after the many reports of fraud in the recent election.

I, for one, do not have much faith in the "steel" that makes up the Republican party. I think it´s more like aluminum in their spines, rather than steel.

If Obama openly ripped the heart out of Romney on national TV, shouting, "Allahu Akbar", the media would find ways to praise, or excuse it, and his followers would cheer! The Senate would shuffle uncomfortably for a moment, perhaps, then solidly condemn any House action taken against this ´popular´ President as Racism.
That´s if Boehner suddenly developed the stones to protest the sacrifice.
Boehner is a Democrat operative, playing the part of a conservative, to steer our side off cliffs for Obama´s amusement.

Time for what others may label a ´tin foil hat moment´ ... I wonder if Obama has pondered the possibility that he, himself, is the person being played by his handlers and that he may be forced into a Nixonian resignation. .... Remember, it wasn´t the Democrats who removed Nixon from office. It was his own party.

Doesn´t matter..... The press wont cover it and not a single democrat will vote for impeachment. At best, a small handful of 3rd stringers will take the fall.
If Obama were a republican, this would be a 24/7 story with demands of investigations. Remember Fitzmas? Remember Plame?

Of course Obama and co knew of this early on. That sat on it, like waiting to play a prized card in a poker game. This whole Springer type debacle is Obama and co trying to pin the blame of Benghazi on Petraeus, a distraction from what is important about Benghazi or a distraction about any talk of Obama stealing the election or some combo.
Recommend we don´t get too caught up in the details of the day by day, endless saga. I was channel surfing on the cable news on 11-13 and it was all they were talking about: Benghazi; Petraeus; the women; the new general involved yadda yadda yadda. It seemed futile to find a channel not discussing it all. Crazy.
´ look forward to the day when Hildebeast´s and Obama´s affairs are on the front burner, for all to see. No way they are loyal to those, ahem, "partners" and vice versa. Obama and co leak: Seal Team 6; Stuxnet involvement; gave a drone to Iran; etc as SOP and this is all the lsm can talk about. Sick, sick, sick media.

I´m encouraged by the Wash.Times printing this article. The DC/NYC MSM crowd can´t hide what happened in Benghazi forever - there is now a strong, powerful alternative to the biased news business.
In a way Generals Petraeus and Allen did us a big favor by being so stupid as to diddle around - thinking they were "too big" to get caught. They aren´t Donald Trump who doesn´t dance to anyone´s tune but his own, since he pays the bills. If you are on the government string, you can´t dance your own way.

Remember Iran-Contra? The cover-up was to conceal the provision of weapons to the opposition to the Sandanistas.
The current cover-up is to conceal the provision of weapons to Al-Quaeda in Syria. Remember: Al Quaeda has been destroyed. Yet the Ambassador was gun runner in chief. Obama does not want that to come out. And just as Oliver North did not know how to shred his hard drive, so also Gens Allen and Petraeus did not know their emails would live on in perpetuity.
"Their privates were giving them orders."
So down will come the house of cards.

According to this morning´s Wall Street Journal, Jill Kelley tried to persuade the FBI to drop the investigation after friends showed her how much widespread damage could result. The same article said Paula Broadwell sent anonymous messages to General Allen and other high-up officers warning against Jill Kelley. This after, supposedly, her affair with Petraeus had ended.

Patraeus becomes less and less appealing as the pictures and information unfold. Both he and Allen were hooked in by alpha sex sirens, enjoying power through sex. The powerful generals seem a touch pathetic and drained of their own importance, the woman, as not too bright, and not that pretty, bimbos.

The following statement may seem uncouth at the least, but it comes from a lowly cafeteria worker at one of Chrysler´s manufacturing plants in the 1970´s:"That Pussy is a powerful thing?"Please excuse me for posting this here, but when I was working for Chrysler in the 1970´s this particular woman happened to be working in the cafe at Chrysler´s and she made this statement. I can´t actually recall the circumstances as to it, but it is substantiated rather forcefully in the General Patreaus & Allen´s cases, no doubt.

Is it too much to hope for a democratic senator like Barbara Boxer who has at times been somewhat pro Military to grab hold of this along with McCain?
What of the possibility of the PIAPS not wanting to get thrown under the bus again and leaking some documents?
It will take something like that to even get this scandal off the ground. Otherwise Obama will skate on this. The media is too in the tank for him and even if they were not his supporters do not care
You need an example; Alger Hiss. Even 50 or 60 years ago the democrats were refusing to admit the truth. Hiss was a spy, he did give secrets to the USSR and no demonrat will ever admit it.

Telling all these savages to get busy rioting and going crazy. Have y´all seen the video yet? What are you going to do about this insult to the prophet?
Wr know how diseased Obama´s mind is, his morals are worse. Do something Senators to save us from this saboteur of our Constitution. After all, what is the central feature of this whole affair? It was a hit on the Ambassador, who was shipping weapons to our enemies. How about talking about the stripping of secret documents from the Consulate? How about talking about the warehouses which were emptied of these weapons? What else is there to know? Know this: Obama is a traitor!

Denver-based CNN journalist Jim Spellman says the total lack of media coverage of the legal travails faced by Fox News reporter Jana Winter for protecting her sources clearly demonstrates an anti-Fox News bias in the press. Spellman claimed in a tweet that if Winter, who faces a subpoena and potential contempt of court charges for protecting her sources, worked for the New York Times instead of Fox News, the case would be garnering far greater exposure. “Observation: If @janawinter, who may go to jail to protect sources, worked for @nytimes instead of @FoxNews the case would be huge,” Spellman tweeted Sunday night.

Obama will release his budget this week, and we already know that he´s going to try to stake out a treacherous "middleground" as he attempts to cast himself as a bold centrist, willing to stand apart from leftist Democrats. He´ll do so by, reportedly, introducing a Chained CPI, which is a way of cutting Social Security by using a different inflation measure that won´t rise as much. Liberals are already livid.

Secretary of State John Kerry is worth some $200 million, give or take a yacht. So his decision to slap a 5% pay cut on himself in solidarity with government employees squeezed by sequestration won’t likely hurt him much. But he’s saving taxpayers another way, too — if unintentionally. And it’s downright troubling. How else is Kerry saving money? He’s failing to hire folks to fill key spots at his agency. Terrific. Think about it: With the North Koreans threatening nuclear strikes against America — and Kerry himself preparing to visit South Korea this week — wouldn’t it be a tad helpful

In March, the number of Americans who dropped out of the labor force increased by 663,000 which adds up to a record 90 million Americans who are no longer looking for employment. Zero Hedge reported: This was the biggest monthly increase in people dropping out of the labor force since January 2012, when the BLS did its census recast of the labor numbers. And even worse, the labor force participation rate plunged from an already abysmal 63.5% to 63.3% - the lowest since 1979!But at least it helped with the now painfully grotesque propaganda

He pictured 10- and 11-year-olds buying pregnancy prevention medicine as easily as bubble gum and drew a line. “As the father of two daughters, it makes sense to apply some common sense,” the President said. Now, a Brooklyn federal judge has ruled that moms and dads — including the ones in the White House — are owed no legal say over whether very young daughters can pop a hormonal contraceptive

It would take superspin powers to portray the March jobs report as anything other than a huge step in the wrong direction. The US economy added just 88,000 jobs last month, 95,000 in the private sector as public payrolls fell by 7,000. The official unemployment rate ticked down a tenth of a point to 7.6%. 1. That is a paltry number of jobs, more or less matching assumed labor force growth per month. So the economy must add at least that many jobs just to keep the labor market at current depressed levels.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

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
