| An angry President Obama on Wednesday demanded his congressional critics “go after me” rather than snipe at his top aides, after two top Republican senators said U.N. Ambassador Susan E. Rice’s inaccurate account of the cause of the terrorist attacks in Benghazi makes her unfit to be promoted. In his first formal news conference in eight months Mr. Obama defended his handling of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya’s second-largest city, and also said he would not allow to go unchallenged any attacks by Republicans looking to place blame

Might fine, Mr. President. Make yourself available in a format where you do not surround yourself with your knee-pad wearing, sycophant mainstream media lapdogs. Open up, take all questions until the questioners are satisfied and can think of nothing more to ask. And, finally, ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. Until you do that, everyone - I mean everyone - knows who the B.S.er is (hint, it isn´t Romney).

I am surprised so many people are taking seriously Obama´s fake indignation about criticism of Suzan Rice.
Since the days of Adam and Eve, faux chivalry has been displayed by men pretending to defend the honor of a woman.

Time to attack the little man posing as president in the White House. Susan Rice is utterly unqualified to be Secretary of State. Filibuster her for the next four years. Obstruct anything proposed by this administration. We need trench war, knives, tanks, guns, corpses, and political kills over the next 4 years.

The Washington Times is trying to invent news where none exists. There were no clashes, there will be no clashes. Boehner ran through town with a white flag, gave the story to the NY Times that the GOP is defeated, ready to take their medicine. Even Florida Gov. Rick Scott sang that tune yesterday to the AP, said Obama won so he´s dropping his opposition to ObamaCare.

As ambasador to the UN,Rice had no businss interjecting herself in the Bengazhi fiasco to begin with. It was ot ofher perview.Someone fro state,cia or the military should have been out there.
She´s one of Obama´s biggestlapdogs and butt kissers so she went along to keep her savior out of trouble. I don´t think they knew about The Seal´s intervention at the time,or otherwise they might have gotten away with the bogus explanation of this.
This story goes a lot deeper than whether she lied or "misled" people on this. There was a real reason Stevens was thrown under the bus,that we don´t know about yet. His killing wasn´t a random act of violence.
The stupid video had nothing to do with his numerous requests for more security.

We had a chance to put this traitor away, and we wimped out. Now we ask if we can survive four more years? Well maybe if we had an honest hearted, decent, God fearing patriot at fhe helm. Instead, we have a liar, a soboteur, who is in mad fun pulling the country down for his pent up anger at being a half breed with a loose mother and wonder who father. Well, we all must pay for the communist philosophy impregnated in little Barry´s lonely brain as he pulls down our wonderful country to hand over to the savages in his favorite religion. The reason Bengazi doesn´t make sense is because we´re looking for an American explanation. If you look for the tracks of the saboteur, you will find the terrible logic in all his policies. He is against us. Wake up. Look at every result. Purposeful failure.

The whole Susan Rice for SOS thing was a set up and O´s "passionate"defense of her was scripted. Though their hearts, at the moment, are in the right place, McCain and Graham took the bait on the Rice thing. CNN had the Condi comparison ready to run and the Dem spokespersons had their Condi comparison scripts memorized. It goes like this: Susan was operating on bad intell (Petraeus) in good faith just like that other SOS nominee Condi was when she spoke of weapons of mass destruction. Checkmate.

It was Obama all the time. He read the brief, and crossed out the attack, and wrote in their video. The fact that no one else knew about it other than Obama, and his lapdancers, points to their creation of it. The story was ready to roll out, tragic loss of two officials, sponta eous event, all over before we could react, etc. The Seals weren´t figured it the plan. In fact, they screwed it up royally. Dragging out the resistance to the hit. Now we have these video sales pitches that even the target audience, the muslim jihadists, were slow to react to. Everything was supposed to be confused, and that complete investigation was preexplained for you rubes.

Democratic Party officials believe that Kevin Strouse is exactly the kind of candidate who can help them retake the House next year. He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district. Strouse’s candidacy reflects an emerging

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

Well, not intentionally. But Jim Ragsdale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune attended a conference in Chicago on covering gun issues, which he describes this way: “Covering Guns” brought reporters with front-line experience covering mass shootings in Tucson, Ariz.; Aurora, Colo.; Newtown, Conn., and Red Lake, Minn., to meet with gun experts and advocates and gun trainers. Sponsored by the Poynter journalism center and funded by the McCormick Foundation of Chicago, we gathered in a city that witnessed 506 homicides last year. The idea, I take it

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

When I tell campus horror-stories like “What’s the Matter With Vassar?” people ask if parents know what’s going on at these schools. I don’t think they want to know. But guess what happens when protesters step on others’ rights in full view of parents? Tufts has one of the most active campus fossil-fuel divestment groups. Lately these protesters have been infiltrating orientation sessions and campus tours for prospective students, mostly high school juniors traveling with their parents.

It is amazing just how wrong economists were in their predictions for the number of jobs that were to be created in March. The “consensus” figure was 200,000 — a far cry from the actual number created which was 88,000. Totally “unexpected,” as usual. In one way, you can’t blame them. After a better than average gain in February of 236,000 (revised upward this month to 268,000), along with some positive numbers in housing and consumer spending, there were no doubt many analysts who began breathing a sigh of relief and believing that the long-awaited jobs recovery was upon us.

Rich Lowery in the New York Post (4-02-2013) accuses the liberals of being the new climate deniers, considering that they don´t recognize that there´s been no global warming for the last fifteen years. This shouldn´t surprise Lowery. When the liberals hang onto the neck of a cause, they don´t let go. They have ignored murders, rapes, wars, nuclear proliferation, and everything wrong with the world to focus in on their little area -- the horror of carbon emissions. You´d think liberals would have learned from their earlier panic about overpopulation

Its “Diversity and Inclusion Statement,” a classic of the genre, says the university is “committed to sharing values of diversity and inclusion .?.?. by recruiting and retaining a diverse group of students.” Hopkins has an Office of Institutional Equity and a “Diversity Leadership Council” that defines “inclusion” as “active, thoughtful and ongoing engagement with each other.” Unless you are a member of Voice for Life (VFL), an antiabortion group.

President Obama will propose a budget next week that embraces a risky strategy of courting Republicans for a grand bargain on the debt while angering Democratic allies with cuts to the nation’s entitlement programs. White House officials said Friday that Obama’s budget would cut Medicare and Social Security and ask for less tax revenue than he has previously sought. The budget, to be released Wednesday, will fully incorporate the offer Obama made to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) during December’s “fiscal cliff” talks — which included $1.8 trillion in deficit reduction through spending cuts and tax increases.

But in the months since, the gun rights group has made itself impossible for the Alaska Democrat, and many other lawmakers, to resist.

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.

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."
