President Barack Obama offered on Saturday to provide any assistance the Algerian government needs after a deadly hostage siege at a desert gas plant and said the United States was seeking a "fuller understanding" from Algerian authorities of what took place there. "The thoughts and prayers of the American people are with the families of all those who were killed and injured in the terrorist attack in Algeria," Obama said in his first comments on the hostage crisis.

"...seeks fuller understanding"? To me that means he´s clueless. Apparently, as in everything else in this Administration, everyone else is clueless, too.
They know nothing, see nothing, can´t see anything coming and after it´s over, have no answers for us. For "the most transparent Administration in history", these people are as opaque as sheet metal.
And by the way, where is Michelle? Has anyone noticed she´s pretty much vanished for months? She´ll be visible at the inaugural festivities but what is she doing? Prepping for a run as POTUS, perhaps?

Let´s find out where the weapons used originated. International "gun walking" perhaps? First we provided weapons in Lybia. Then our consul is raided while the ambassador was on a undefined mission related to weapons provided to rebals in Lybia. We do little about it and then the attack in Mali...

You mean to tell me, he was too busy exploiting children on Gun Control, to be doing his "actual" job of protecting the nation and it´s citizens?
Frankly, if the guy can´t multi-task, and know what´s going on with American hostages in Algeria, what is he doing? Being fitted for his royal garb for the "immaculation"?
I am chronically stunned by this ineptness. He can´t "really" be this stupid.

If only Algeria was deemed by the White House as a “Gun-Free” zone just like Sandy Hook, this tragedy might have been avoided. That way the killers would have been subject to cultural peer pressure and refrained from acquiring firearms.
After all, the gun manufacturers and those hate-filled NRA members pulled the trigger! (...or was it the Muslims clinging to their Faith and their Guns.... Mr. President, please help me understand, sir…). Oh, wait, the killers were Muslims, not Christians or Jews!
Boy, this is confusing. I must let the Media and the POTUS tell me what to think. After all, their journalism and their current leadership is what makes this country what it is today!

A "fuller" understanding? It´s been months, you still do not have a fuller understanding of Benghazi. You still do not have a "fuller" understanding of Arab Spring, which you supported. Here is a clue, it is Arab Nightmare, how´s that? Fixed is for ya! You did say that Al Queada(sp) was on the run. Oh, that´s right you were campaigning and needed votes. You, Obama are truly a zero!

We will never hear from the relatives of these people that were killed, either. Buy them off and shut them up, just like the Benghazi folks. Disgusting to the Nth degree!!! DOES NO ONE HAVE CONVICTION AND GUTS???? It will take both conviction and guts to survive this administration and this government!

Obama was partying while France was begging for assistance.
One of the groups involved in the murderous rampage had been trained by the US. They then turned on us and joined al qaeda.
Read the story in the Washington Post and weep for the free world.

Imagine if such an attack occurred on American soil. Obama would be worried about ´jumping to conclusions´ and ´being sensitive to Muslim feelings´ instead of expressing any outrage.

Wow, this guy sits at the top of the most powerful nation the world has ever known, has the most expansive military and intelligence-gathering appendages at his disposal and seeks a "fuller understanding" of what happened? Yikes! America has become the headless horseman - we gallop headlong into obstacles, traps and trouble.

Was this the same al Queda that Obama told us is on the run now, without their leader whom Obama killed? Were they using the weapons and training he provided them to overthrow Gadhafi? Are they part of Obama’s cherished Arab Spring? Are they part of the same group Obama sent Ambassador Stephens to Benghazi to round up arms and ship to Syria via Turkey? The very same Ambassador he allowed to be killed rather than blow the cover on the operation?
Yes, “a fuller understanding” might be in order here. Yes, indeed. How about a non-telepromted open and frank presser? How about one of those, Mr. President?

I actually laughed when I read this, "0bama seeks fuller understanding of what happened in Algeria siege." How about doing something like lead for a change. 0bama. How about a full investigation, how about sending a message to the world that America is not weak and will not keep continuously letting these things happen with no consequences. Oh, right, 0bama is to full of himself and planning his coronation and all them lavish parties. Yea, he thinks they are more important.

The Mullahs have found a way to make Obama appear to be an aly of France in Mali...
The French are attempting to turn over policing of Mali to the Mali Arabs but they have minimal supplies;
When France directly asked Obama to help Mali, the Mullahs allowed Obama to agree to provide transport only... as long as France pays the US for any help they give Mali.
Just a new Taqiyya Tactic to help Obama hide his alliance to the Mo Bros & Allah.

Conservative congressmen don´t question House Speaker John Boehner´s dedication to the cause. But as chaos overtakes GOP efforts to prevent a Jan. 1 tax hike, members do have doubts about his effectiveness. Here´s the latest turn of events: Over the summer, House Republicans passed a bill extending the Bush-era tax rates, which are set to expire, resulting in higher rates Jan. 1. That was Boehner´s Plan A. Senate Democrats said no, and so Boehner rolled out Plan B: extend current rates for all income below $1 million, and rein in Social Security spending.

Both Speaker John Boehner and media analysts have been spun into a state of confusion by the fiscal cliff issue and President Obama´s reelection. The fiscal cliff exists because the president and the GOP Congress could not decide in 2011 on a permanent general policy toward the budget. And now the president has added another factor: he is determined to usurp the Congressional authority to raise the debt ceiling. If the budget goes over the cliff, two things will happen: tax rates on everyone will rise, and across the board spending cuts will be made.

Earlier this year, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) decided to disinvite two predominantly white high school choral groups from performance in the ASO´s holiday concert. The ASO´s decision was reportedly motivated by the high schools´ lack of diversity, which caused a stir among people who believe in racial justice as opposed to racial favoritism.

PRINCE Harry has killed his first Taliban commander, The Sun can reveal. The 28-year-old gunship co-pilot was called on to unleash a missile strike to eliminate a senior terror leader. Harry has proved a massive hit with comrades in Helmand, Afghanistan, who have nicknamed him Big H. A defence insider said: "Big H is a legend. “We were on patrol and the Apache helicopters were called in. We heard this posh voice come over the radio and knew it was Big H.

New York - Federal agents raided an eastern Connecticut gun shop on Thursday, the same gun shop that sold one of the weapons used by the Newtown elementary school shooter. Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, assisted by police, moved in on Riverview Sales at 4 Prospect Hill Road in East Windsor at around 5:15 p.m., reported Len Besthoff of CBS 2 sister station WFSB in Hartford. Adam Lanza shot and killed 20 children and six adults with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle in Newtown last Friday, the second-worst mass shooting in United States history.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. 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 Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

WASHINGTON – White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday Republicans owe Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, an apology for alleging she played a part in formulating the White House’s response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed four Americans. Pfeiffer said on ABC’s “This Week” that the release of more than 100 pages of Benghazi emails and notes show “beyond a shadow of the doubt” that accusations she tried to change the narrative of what happened in the attacks was false. "And, frankly, I think that many of the Republicans
