| 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.

Not to worry Zero, after we get statements under oath from your underlings, then we´ll come after you. It´s long overdue to use the same standards to Zero´s paid liars that the left used against Scooter Libby.

As we watched The Gallant Won defend "Dr." Susan Rice´s honor, Mr. L asked me if I thought The Won had a thing for her.
Just saying. The tone of that defense was most uncharacteristic.

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 idjit at the press conference said that Rice only repeated what the WH told her to say. The side conversation at the time went like this: Rice: In return for getting the SoS job, what happens if those nut-job republican politicans find out? Idjit: Don´t worry. I have your back.

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.

UPDATE: Perry responds to SB 346 veto: “Freedom of association and freedom of speech are two of our most important rights enshrined in the Constitution. My fear is that SB 346 would have a chilling effect on both of those rights in our democratic political process. While regulation is necessary in the administration of Texas political finance laws, no regulation is tolerable that puts anyone’s participation at risk or that can be used by any government, organization or individual to intimidate those who choose to participate in our process through financial means.

The latest reporting in the matter of Fox News Channel’s James Rosen indicates the Obama administration fought to keep the search warrant for Rosen’s private email account secret, arguing that the government might need to monitor the account for a lengthy period of time. Thank you, Ryan Lizza. And one more thing. Despite Eric Holder’s his protestations of ignorance regarding the Rosen matter, NBC reports that Holder himself authorized the warrant application. Hmmm. Does that mean he might not have been entirely forthcoming about the matter in his testimony

WASHINGTON — Haynes Johnson, a pioneering Washington journalist who won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the civil rights movement and migrated from newspapers to television, books and teaching, died Friday. He was 81. The Washington Post reported he died at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Md. In a statement to the Post newsroom, Managing Editor Kevin Merida said Johnson died of a heart attack. Johnson was awarded a Pulitzer in 1966 for national reporting on the civil rights struggle in Selma, Ala., while with The Evening Star in Washington. He spent

The FBI has arrested a San Antonio man on charges he lied to get into the United States and tried to get a sensitive Defense Department position. Wissam Allouche, 44, appeared for an initial hearing Friday afternoon, and shook his head when U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry Bemporad read the charges leveled in a federal indictment. The judge ordered him held pending a bail hearing and his arraignment Tuesday. “He allegedly tried to cover up his affiliation with Hezbollah,” said special agent Erik Vasys, spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio. “It is believed

A FREE press in a democracy demands a delicate balance. The First Amendment means the media must have the right to inquire without hindrance. The government has a legitimate interest in keeping some national security information secret. When these come into conflict, the balance often has been struck this way: The media are free to pursue secrets, but it is up to those in government to keep them. When the media come into possession of information that, if disclosed, could be damaging, the government can plead the case for secrecy — and the media generally are open to persuasion.

The brutal murder of an off-duty soldier by two Muslim activists continues to dominate the news in Great Britain. The scene was utterly bizarre: in broad daylight, in a busy section of London, the two Muslims apparently ran the soldier down with a car, within a block or two of his barracks, and then attacked him with knives and a meat cleaver. They attempted to behead him, apparently not quite successfully, as hundreds of passers-by looked on. No one stopped them–private ownership of firearms being illegal in the U.K.–but three random women

A day after insurers complained that Kathleen Sebelius and the Obama administration had pressured them to fund Enroll America, a House committee sent them a request for more information on the matter. The Energy and Commerce Committee had already begun looking into whether Sebelius had broken any laws by attempting to get donations from an industry that will be heavily regulated by her under ObamaCare, and now The Hill reports this new request as a widening of that probe (via Rare): House Republicans have widened their probe of Health and Human Services

Washington rumor has it that Obama wants to be U.N. Secretary General. There are several reasons that make that likely, and if it´s true, it throws new light on a lot of Obama´s oddities -- including his Royalty Bows, his Apology Tours, his Muslim Sellout, and the Benghazi Cover-Up. But first -- why would Obama be planning to become the chief of the U.N. before he has even finished his second term?

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On Wednesday, Drummer Lee Rigby of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, a man who had served Queen and country honorably in the hell of Helmand Province in Afghanistan, emerged from his barracks on Wellington Street, named after the Duke thereof, in southeast London. Minutes later, he was hacked to death in broad daylight and in full view of onlookers by two men with machetes who crowed "Allahu Akbar!" as they dumped his carcass in the middle of the street like so much roadkill. As grotesque as this act of savagery was, the aftermath was even more unsettling

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.

Fox News chief Roger Ailes has sent a memo to his subordinates at the leading cable news network. He sent this memo to his staff today in connection with the federal investigation into an alleged leak to Fox News reporter James Rosen, a story that the Washington Post’s Ann E. Marimow broke earlier this week. The memo’s a masterpiece, too. For all those who wonder what it is about Ailes that endears his people to him — and that makes him such a good interviewee for any media reporter lucky enough to get an audience
