| The White House has had quite enough of the controversy over ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice, the misleading talking points she used in TV interviews about the jihadist attacks in Benghazi, and the Obama administration’s contradictory narrative about those attacks. “There are no unanswered questions about Ambassador Rice’s appearance on Sunday shows and the talking points that she used for those appearances that were provided by the intelligence community,” asserted White House spokesman Jay Carney at his briefing on November 27. (Snip) Jay Carney is wrong. The administration has not answered even the most basic questions

I feel like we´re stuck in an old episode of ´Get Smart´...."would you believe?"
I want truthful answers. Who gave the order to stand down? What was Amb. Stevens doing in Benghazi? Is anyone in this administration capable of telling the truth?

The MSM won the election on November 6. Who can seriously believe they will do anything other than continue to cover-up Benghazi for Obama?
The same MSM the GOP refused to expose for its blatant corruption. The same MSM the GOP allowed to host and moderate the debates. Why should these journalist-crooks listen to anyone´s critique now, from the Weekly Standard or anywhere else? They know they´ve played the GOP for fools and will continue to do so.
Until they are exposed. In court.

Barack Hussein Obama, the source of all this posturing, should change his name, (again).
He needs to drop the "ama" and replace it with "fuscate" -- would denote the pure essence of the scoundrel and would not obsolete the monograms on his shirt collars.
His hackneyed habit of voting "present" is no longer considered precocious and his pitiful presence is heralded worldwide. /s

Think Local and forget Washington DC. It´s a den of elites who don´t know their posterior if it was handed to them in a gift wrapped CHRISTMAS present. (there how´s that ACLU? I love CHRISTMAS and will celebrate it all the days of my life.}

Five story changes in two weeks. But Jay Carney says all has been explained.
I hate to say what I think but I will. I think Obama and Hillary thought they could tell us anything if the CIA guys were killed quickly and told whatever outfit was on the way to help to stand down. Unfortunately for secrecy, they lasted seven hours. If this is so, it is a secret the White House must keep at all costs.

They successfully ran out the clock on Benghazi. Obama got elected. The threat is over. The MSM did their shielding job. This will now dissipate slowly no matter how much the toothless Republicans gum this to death.

I´d like to know what has happened to the two parents (the mother of one, the father of another) who spoke out? Why are they no longer taking to the airwaves, even on Greta, or Huckabee, or Judge Janine? What has been said (or done) to them to quiet them down?
I´d still be screaming from every front step in DC if it were my son this happened to.
Also, why have none of the 30-some evacuated that night been identified? Have they been silenced as well? Were they all in deep UC?
Come on! Tell us what happened and why! Why keep protecting him now?! Surely everyone realizes the GOP is toothless to do anything about it.

If the truth will set you free, we are certainly headed for bondage because we have been lied to over and over by Obama, his administration and the media. When your government can weave absurd untruths aided and abeded by a complicent media, we are headed down the path that so many oppressive governments have taken their people. With so many Americans willing to accept anything this administration says because they are dependent on government largesse, don´t expect an outcry for answers on the Benghazi tragedy from them. Four dead Americans mean nothing to these people. The only thing of Importance is their agenda. They will lie, cheat and kill to ensure that their ambition to fundamentally change this country is realized. These people aren´t playing bean bag. They are deadly serious and I am not sure our side wants to confront them because it´s "too haaaaaarrd".

Until one of the presses own members in good standing is harmed by this administration, there will be no change in their desire to reveal the truth to the public. On the other hand, even the beheading of Daniel Pearle was insufficient to awaken the press to the evil of the Jihadi Islamist. I wonder if a similar treatment of Ms. Maddow or Ms. Amanpour would raise them from their stupor?

Right #10. If the pubs really wanted to get to the bottom of Benghazi, they would seek out those thirty individuals and bring them to DC, put under oath and question. They´ve obviously been sequestered. They are the achille heel of the admin. They would collapse the whole deck of cards.
Yep that´s right-it´s all going away/under rug swept. Obama supporters on other internet channels are responding with, "what´s Benghazi?", to any article posted and "you got nothing". Dodge City is DC.

Being terribly disappointed and convinced the election was a fraud, I took solace in the assault by the GOP on the Benghazi issue. I had hopes it would be pursued like a hound on a rabbit and that hussein would be driven out of DC to be relegated to the annals of the demned. Thus he would be hard pressed to bloviate about his great accomplishments and the evils of the next administration.
But? I feel like the corner of the carpet has been lifted and the broom is in hand. There´s still hope, but it is rapidly dimming.

Empty suit. Empty golf togs. Empty hoops-shootin’ shorts. Empty present-votin’, background-hidin’, integrity-lackin’ lockbox.
As Election Day loomed, “Prevent Obama From Being Tarnished In Any Way” was the marching order. Say, or don’t say, anything necessary in order to keep his carefully designed, meticulously crafted image as a formidable, decisive, stalwart leader alive. We know he’s actually made of spun sugar but let’s not wander into that congested thicket until at least November 7th.

Now there is a story that Benghazi was not really a consulate, but basically a transfer point for arms being transshipped or somesuch to areas in Europe
I would think that only an idiot would use an unstable area such as Libya to transfer major arms supplies.

The 30 rescued were all CIA operatives. Can´t find them and their job requires anonymity. All of the different stories has resulted in fatigue and by having so many narratives the regime can say they have explained it thoroughly, problem is there may only be one truthful word in each explanation and finding that one word is not possible. I´m convinced the MSM is as brain dense as the public who voted for Obama and can´t see a reason or need to get to the bottom of this fiasco.

# 21 as for Obama´s whereabouts on 9/11- we know that for part of the missing hours -he was in bed. A missing Ambassador and three other Americans is not something Obama would lose sleep over. Now..had the missing Americans been NBA players or rappers , Obama would have kept an all night vigil in the Situation Room.
" President Obama was notified last night that U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens was unaccounted for. Obama was notified this morning of Stevens´ death, the White House said."
It´s interesting that the various timelines of when Obama was made aware of the attack are always vague and lawyerly . Even Obama is purposefully vague . He says things like " when I was informed " or " as soon as I was notified ". It´s pretty obvious that someone was acting as the Commander in Chief in Obama´s stead. Was that because Obama was in some altered state that rendered him unable to make decisions ? Or is this a routine occurrence while he frolics with Reggie and Kal ?

Sorry..I believe we are headed straight down the path of a communist dictatorship. The UN gun resolution will be passed by 0 and he will demand our guns. That in turn will cause a shooting revolution..and those who think as we do will lose. Too many big guns against us. Recently worked an immunization clinic at Ft Lewis south of here, and asked several sgt majors if the military would fire on US citizens. One didn´t really ans, but intimated yes, the other, a fan of Glenn Beck, said quickly, *yes, some of them will. They have been so dumbed down by public schools they know nothing, so, yes, if ordered to they will fire". Slept real well that night. /s

it behooves both sides to make this go away. I truly believe that what is or has been going on in DC is pure kabuki - the story will never be told. It will remain for all to see through a glass darkly for at least as long as the Kennedy story, maybe longer. And we still don´t REALLY know what happened on the grassy knoll. An abundance of conspiracy theories serves those who conspire...

Exactly #19. A CIA operation to run weapons to Syria. It was not a ´consulate´. Why didn´t Chris Wallace ask Susan Rice if it was a consulate? He knew it wasn´t, or he is willfully ignorant, or helping Rice out in the interview.
I would also like to know who shut Romney´s mouth in the 3rd debate about Benghazi.Somebody put a mussel on him.

With Holder at DOJ, nothing will come from there to expose Benghazi, especially as Benghazi was Fast and Furious writ large.
The only hope is for Congress to use its power of subpoena to give some of these actors a downside, threatening them with jail time for contempt or perjury. Newt wouldn’t have made a good president, but if he were Speaker today, we would be getting some answers.

There’s a huge red flag in the Benghazi mess, but conservatives are letting the media get away with using a red herring to avoid it. Give the establishment media credit for obstinacy: Once it settles on a standard narrative or explanation for a particular subject, it shows remarkable discipline in explaining away any evidence that contradicts its own approved spin. So it has been with the media’s 250-day old determination to downplay the scandalous nature of the Obama administration’s treatment of its outpost in Benghazi before, during, and after the terrorist attack there that took four American lives.

Lawmakers across the country are tussling over the Obama administration´s plans to create a small army of assistants to guide millions of Americans as they sign up for new health-insurance options available this fall. Backers of the health-care overhaul face an uphill battle to spread the word about the law, in the face of consumer research that suggests most uninsured people know little about it and are skeptical about the value of health insurance generally. Some Democrats have openly worried that the administration is doing too little to make sure the enrollment process goes smoothly. That is where the "patient navigators"

Labor unions are breaking with President Obama on ObamaCare. Months after the president’s reelection, a variety of unions are publicly balking at how the administration plans to implement the landmark law. They warn that unless there are changes, the results could be catastrophic. The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) — a 1.3 million-member labor group that twice endorsed Obama for president — is very worried about how the reform law will affect its members’ healthcare plans. Last month, the president of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers released a statement calling “for repeal

Since Hillary Clinton last came up to Capitol Hill, we’ve learned senior State Department officials sought to scrub references to terrorism from the infamous Benghazi talking points to insulate Foggy Bottom from political criticism — citing concerns of their “building’s leadership” to justify the demands. The rising temperature of the scandal means it’s possible that Hillary could be asked to return and testify again. If she comes back, she had better be prepared, says House Oversight and Government Reform chairman Darrell Issa. “We are interviewing lots of people, most of them under oath,” Issa says, describing the “methodical” approach his committee

We hear a lot, these days, about how President Obama is not like Lyndon Johnson and thanks be to heaven for that small mercy. The point seems to be that the president doesn´t know how to arm twist, sweet talk, bribe, and emasculate both friend and enemy (of which he truly had neither) in order to further his agenda. Since many among the chattering class believe, still, in that agenda, his is generally regarded as an excellent presidency. Never mind that more than half a century after Johnson declared war on poverty ...

More whistleblowers will emerge shortly in the escalating Benghazi scandal, according to two former U.S. diplomats who spoke with PJ Media Monday afternoon. These whistleblowers, colleagues of the former diplomats, are currently securing legal counsel because they work in areas not fully protected by the Whistleblower law. According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
