BREAKING: The president knew
the truth about Benghazi

Washington Post, by Jennifer Rubin

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 11/16/2012 11:55:38 PM

In a blockbuster report, John Solomon, the former Associated Press and Post reporter, has ferreted out the president’s daily brief that informed him within 72 hours of the Sept. 11 attack that the Benghazi attack was a jihadist operation. Citing officials directly familiar with the information, Solomon writes in the Washington Guardian that Obama and other administration officials were told that “that the attack was likely carried out by local militia and other armed extremists sympathetic to al-Qaida in the region.” He adds

Sadly, the multiple failures in Libya and Benghazi will be forgotten by the media over Thanksgiving, if not this weekend. We know Obama lied, but then what? His next press conference will be in 8 to 12 months, and the questions will be as superficial as the session this week. Obama will be on TV daily, but not a single question will be allowed after his statements. Jay Carney will get questions from Fox News this week, but he lies as well as Obama. So, how do we get answers when no one takes the questions?

"a videotaped call by al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri for LIbyans to avenge the death of al-Libi, who was killed in a drone strike in Pakistan in June. The videotape was released early on Sept. 11, just hours before the attack on the consulate."

Well, there was a video alright - by al-Qaida leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri . This report from the Washington Guardian says it was released "just hours before the attack on the consulate". However, a 9/11/12 report for The Telegraph, by Rob Crilly, says the video was posted on Jihadi internet forums on Monday, a day ahead of the eleventh anniversary of 9/11. [See link]

The Obama press conference was curious to me. This guy doesn´t do press conferences.

But in this case he knew that the longer he waited to come out for a brief appearance, the more facts of this matter would come out in the meantime, making the press conference much tougher.

He has put his spin on the deal in advance of the facts. That is how this is done in Obama world/Alinsky world. He thinks the power of his words and persona lingering in the air are enough to refute reality. And the fools who are stirred up by his spin, such as the House women defending Susan Rice and distracting from the real issues, can be enough of a deflection of reality to get him through this.

He might be right. He might not be right.

That´s right, #22, and that fact is likely why Anderson Cooper found the ambassador´s diary and interviewed Sean´s Smith agonized mother. But Cooper got spanked for that by CNN and lost his daytime show. Another problem is that Steven´s sister seemed firmly in Hillary´s camp. Nevertheless, I would use the Dem tactic of saying no one cares about this wonderful man´s horrible torture and death and it must be because of his rumored sexual orientation. That´s how the lefties do it, although it would not work for our side.

There are more damning segments of this event than lying about why the attack took place and who was responsible for the attack.
Why was an ambassador in a country where all other countries had withdrawn because of the volatility?
What operation was the CIA running in the "annex"?
Why was the "rescue" so anemic--actually non-existant?
Why was security not beefed up as the ambassador requested?
Why was Rice, an individual not qualified or involved in the chain of responsibility and possesing no unique knowledge of the event, given the job of explaining the event on national news?

If Obama doesn´t have the class to resign, then the House must mark him with the stain of impeachment. He allowed Americans to be murdered either because of incompetence or for political reasons. He must not be allowed to escape. If we end up with Biden, he can be dealt with and there is no question that he is a natural born citizen. Washington Democrats and the Media believe that the nation can endure four more years of this incompetence and corruption but that is becoming more doubtful with each passing day.

This entire cover-up resembles the REAL life story portrayed in the film ´Rules of Engagement´ .... starring Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel Jackson. In that attempted cover-up, however, the ambassador was air-lifted to safety. He later lied to Congress about what happened and was found guilty of commiting perjury.
.... As for the fall guy in the film, the National Security Director framed and ´tried´ to court martial a black Marine colonel. The National Security Advisor, who had blackmailed others to lie and had destroyed evidence, was only forced to resign.

Sebelius: Implementing Obamacare
More ´Difficult´ Than Anticipated
Breitbart´s Big Government, by Tony Lee    Original Article

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded Monday that implementing the Affordable Care Act has been more complicated and frustrating than the Obama administration expected, largely due to Republicans who have opposed the law´s state-based exchanges and Medicaid expansion. "The politics has been relentless and that continues," Sebelius said. "There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"

President Obama kicked off the week in Connecticut with a rallying cry for new gun control measures hand-in-hand with Sandy Hook parents. This afternoon, Obama sat down in the Oval Office with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel — who, with a military, civilian, and contractor work force on edge about their jobs, is tasked with unveiling what could be a punishing presidential budget for the Pentagon tomorrow. Over at the Senate tonight, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) filed cloture on the motion to proceed to the gun-control package, which means

President Obama will unveil his 2014 spending plan Wednesday, 65 days late and several trillion dollars short, by Republican standards, of effectively reining in the national debt. But the more relevant fact about the White House budget may be the yawning political void into which it is about to fall on Capitol Hill. Administration officials say their plan offers a path to compromise, a centrist course that avoids the extreme spending cuts of the House Republican budget as well as the $1 trillion tax hike endorsed last month by Senate Democrats. The president’s proposal contains the same set of policies

It seems very odd that President Obama has made gun control the signature issue of his second term, so far. He can’t possibly achieve any significant legislation; a few tweaks to the background check system, maybe, but there is no chance of getting any meaningful gun control through the House. The House Democrats aren’t even trying. So it also seems strange that all eyes are on the Senate, where Harry Reid will unveil some sort of gun legislation–no one knows what, exactly–on Thursday. The party’s left-wing base is lining up behind the bill, sight unseen.

In a poll conducted by PoliceOne, a majority of law enforcement personnel said universal background checks, "assault weapons" bans, and "high capacity" magazine bans do not make police safer and will not lower violent crime. Armed citizens, on the other hand, do make a positive difference. In the poll of 15,000 law enforcement professionals, 71% of respondents said an "assault weapons" ban would have zero impact on violent crime. Of those surveyed, 95.7% said the same of a "high capacity" magazine ban, and 79.7% said the same in response to a question on universal background checks.

Margaret Thatcher captured Americans’ hearts and minds in a way few other foreign leaders have done, and much of that was because of the symbiotic relationship she had with President Reagan — a relationship that in many ways mirrored the storied “special” friendship between the two countries. Mrs. Thatcher, who died Monday at age 87, was a tough-talking maverick who was bullish on the promise of the U.S. as a force on the international stage. Those traits appealed to Americans weary of the 1970s malaise and eager to hear reasons to believe in themselves. “She had the perfect balance between

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

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.”
