Biggest blankouts of the Obama administration
No one with even a double digit IQ could believe the idiocy about the Youtube video as being to blame for inciting the Benghazi fiasco, but then there was yesterday's Jay Carney White House briefing call Benghazi a "Fox story". The blood is crossing over my blood-brain barrier and just making me want to explode!
But, there had only been a couple isolated protests, one in Cairo and one in Yemen. The Egyptian officials had claimed, in Cairo, it occurred because of paid protesters. That riot hadn’t been just about a video like most people believe. The multitude of protest over the video that ignited the region and spread to Europe, Asia, and Australia came after the US ran the commercial apologizing for the video.
You could say the WH lit the fire for the video after they falsely pushed the video as a reason for tension in the region. More cowbell, please.
What is really sad is I feel so disconnected with my fellow americans right now. Obama and Clinton used the caskets arrival to push this nonsense. They stood over the dead bodies..talking about the video...not about the heroic men. Even if the video had played a role, (and pigs can fly) that was the tackiest thing I have ever seen a president do.
I don’t believe I have been so disappointed in my fellow citizens in my entire life. What about respect for these men who died a horrible death for their country. How can we live in a country where Obama and Clinton’s behavior is acceptable? I still don’t know that much about the life of Ambassador Stevens because nobody seemed to care enough to cover it.
Perhaps FOX can do a special on the anniversary this September, covering these men’s careers and lives. Then, call it a day.
I believe, based on Michelle Obama's past history, that she very much meant what she said about not being proud of the US. She is a Marxist, went to the same Alinsky training as her husband, and as such, she hates capitalistic free America.
The whole "it was the video" ploy was a typical Hillary Clinton tactic. If you repeat a lie enough times it will become reality. She has always felt the general public was stupid. Right or not about that, this whole cover up was wrong.
Why?
“Because she was a liar, “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
A long history of deceit.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is a congenital liar.
Cheers.
I don't have any problem with a business-oriented certification like a CPA or PNP, an industry certification like the plethora of technical ones, or a professional certification, but governmental regulation of who can conduct business smacks of authoritarianism.

I too heard here in Ohio that anyone about to flunk out of a state college, was advised to switch majors to education, and be assured of a degree. I once walked past an education class in college, where they whole class was laying on the floor making snow angels on the carpet, that was class that day. Those who took required English classes, usually fell into the C or below grade level. Yet they think they should analyze our children and know what is best for them. I knew one education major who was shacked up with a Saudi student, who led her on, then left town graduation day, without a word. She was clueless, did not see it coming.She really did not understand the culture at all.
Thank you for your service Jimslag!

Here is what the chief of the Libyan parliament said the same day that Rice appeared on TV (Sept 16):
“The way these perpetrators acted and moved, and their choosing a specific date for this so-called demonstration, I think that this leaves us with no doubt that this was pre-planned, pre-determined,”
Meanwhile the muppet Carney was saying on Sept 18:
"[W]e do not have any indication at this point of premeditation or pre-planned attacks,"
And is one to believe that Sec. of State Hillary Clinton at the time would not bother to ask the Libyans the day after the attack: Hey what happened over there that our ambassador got killed?
Wow! What an arrogance! Now the US gov has the cynicism of admitting it was all planned. And the Lybians reportedly warned the US of a "frightening" situation in Benghazi three days before the attack.

Jimslag, Don't let the BLM have one square inch of the Red River. I know that fight is on the TX side, but still.

For the wealthy, most will have ways of protecting themselves from the fall - gold, real estate, foreign currencies, etc.
For the vast portion of us in the middle, the fall will be devastating. Having a mortgage when there is no way to garner an income will take away the major store of "wealth" - I put that in quotes because when everyone is either getting foreclosed on or trying to get some equity out of their home it will drive the prices down significantly, eliminating the equity that folks think they have been building up (I keep trying to get my in-laws to extract their equity now via a reverse mortgage and they are just too stubborn to do so). When the gov't cannot borrow anymore, they will look around for the biggest source of wealth to steel, which will be IRA's and 401k's. They will nationalize these accounts under the premise that it "wasn't fair" for those who were able to put that money away tax free because it took away tax revenue that could have been used to "pay off the debt" (that's what they will claim, but it will not be true, if anything it would have been used for greater gov't largess, but it will be an effective argument to use to garner support from those without such savings). So, another source of wealth for those of us in the middle will be crushed.
No wonder they don’t want to talk about where he was. Can you imagine? There is probably a blooper-reel of the Prez and the aides practicing away. They better get a court order for those tapes like yesterday.
As to exploding -- try using duct tape.
As for the truth not mattering,
"What difference does it make?" Arrgghh!!!!
But, I do certainly agree with you on Benghazi. :)
