| Hillary Clinton’s testy “What difference at this point does it make?” response to Ron Johnson certainly had the media in awe, which as Allahpundit noted yesterday is both unsurprising and a little discouraging. These are supposed to be the people eager to “hold the powerful to account” and/or “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable,” along with a lot of other platitudes about being a Fourth Estate that keeps government in check. Yet there they were yesterday, cheering on a government official for telling an oversight committee that promoting a false narrative either through incompetence or

Excellent summary. No Americans died at Abu Ghraib yet the Fourth Estate (=5th Column) went nuts for months calling for Rumsfeld´s resignation.

Why do officials spend months and years piecing together plane wrecks?
Trying to keep it from happening again.
Obviously.
Here we have an Obie WON Kenya-Obie Badministration Train Wreck...
with four prominent Americans dead.
We need to study it...
to prevent its happening again.
And get rid of Obie WON & Co... ASAP.
Obviously.

The shameful part is that all these pressitutes seem to have forgotten that al qaeda beheaded one of their own "Daniel Pearl"!!

I saw something yesterday, with some new data I hadn´t seen before, namely that the attackers were glad to find the Ambassador alive (which he was, barely, when they found him).
The sum of the data leads to only one conclusion: That the Obama administration commissioned the jihadists to capture the Ambassador so that he could be traded for the release of the Blind Sheik (mastermind of the first WTC attack), whom Obama wanted to release anyway. That´s why the security was ordered to stand down and all requests for assistance were denied.
What kind of people do this kind of thing? Does it scare anyone else that half the people in this country are too morally bereft to see evil for what it is or care about it?

Yes #5, it terrifies, depresses, angers, confuses, astounds and bewilders me to no end. Never has someone so undeserving, unAmerican, and unqualified sat in our WH.
I will never forgive my fellow Americans (?) that elected this fraud.

The obama adminstration is a criminal organization. NOTHING , not murder, blackmail, complete disregard for the Constitution is beyond them. "WE, the people" has become WE , the government.

Organized labor will break its silence and oppose President Obama´s nominee for Commerce Secretary, Chicago´s Penny Pritzker, the Daily News has learned. The decision stems from long-standing grievances with labor practices at the Hyatt Hotels chain, a source of her family´s fortune, and despite earlier reports that unions would not raise objections to the nomination. Donald "D" Taylor, president of the national Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees (HERE), confirmed the move to The News on Monday. His opposition was spurred by his just learning that the Senate Commerce Committee was moving up its confirmation hearing for Pritzker.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General published a new report Monday that confirms former U.S. Attorney for Arizona Dennis Burke leaked a document intended to smear Operation Fast and Furious scandal whistleblower John Dodson. The DOJ IG said it found “Burke’s conduct in disclosing the Dodson memorandum to be inappropriate for a Department employee and wholly unbefitting a U.S. Attorney.”

Fox News reports that three Fox staffers, two reporters and one producer, were targeted by Barack Obama´s Justice Department. Fox doesn´t have all the details yet on a reporter William La Jeunesse and producer Mike Levine, but their emails showed up in a IG report regarding Fast and Furious. Either their emails were leaked by the Justice Department officials they were sent to, or the email accounts of both were subpoenaed and invaded by government investigators. The IG report does say that subpoenas were issued to obtain emails. Whose email was targeted is not yet known.

Of all the discouraging news in the scandal involving President Obama’s Internal Revenue Service, the most illuminating is that one of the things that triggered additional scrutiny from the IRS for groups applying for tax-exempt status was any plan for “educating on the constitution and bill of rights.” As the details of the situation have emerged, various explanations have arisen for the behavior of the IRS officials involved. A 2,700-word report issued over the weekend by a team of seven New York Times journalists attributed the problem to “an understaffed Cincinnati outpost that was alienated from the broader I.R.S. culture.”

We already have seen that the Obama administration doesn’t think much of the freedom of religion clause when it interferes with the HHS regulations. We’ve been shamed into giving up the 2nd Amendment, for the children. We’ve seen the freedom of the press isn’t really freedom anymore if the Justice Department doesn’t like what you’re writing about. But with the testimony Friday of Steven Miller to the House Ways And Means Committee, we see now that what you pray about is a legitimate tax question. And on the Hugh Hewitt

Where there’s controversy, there’s bound to be a petition calling for someone’s firing. This time, it seems a liberal user of the Change.org petition-building site has begun the calls for ABC News to fire Jonathan Karl after the journalist’s report contained inaccurate quotes of leaked White House emails. He initially suggested he had “obtained” the emails from a source but, as it turns out, the quotes came from the source’s own paraphrasing of the material. This was all part of a report Karl filed on the multiple edits to post-Benghazi talking points within the Obama administration.

Sean Higgins notices a quote from a Washington Post article about the IRS office in Cincinnati: “We’re not political,’’ said one determinations staffer in khakis as he left work late Tuesday afternoon. “We people on the local level are doing what we are supposed to do. .?.?. That’s why there are so many people here who are flustered. Everything comes from the top. We don’t have any authority to make those decisions without someone signing off on them. There has to be a directive.”

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 - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life. But when it came to their own accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses. Every one of you has a grandma or an uncle or a parent whose told you at some point in life

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?" So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) concerning the Internal Revenue Service scandal Sunday (video follows with transcript and commentary):CANDY CROWLEY, HOST: Moving on to the IRS problem at this moment, which is really sort of in its infancy.

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:
