| If news of a joint Barack Obama-Hillary Clinton interview to air Sunday came as a surprise, the man the White House chose to conduct the interview did not. Every politician has his or her preferred interviewer: for President Obama, that’s Steve Kroft of “60 Minutes.” Kroft has conducted more one-on-one interviews with Obama, both as a candidate and as president, than any other television personality. It was Kroft who interviewed Obama days before he announced his candidacy for president in 2007, Kroft who landed the first post-election interview with Obama and his wife in 2008,

if benghazi had happened during pres. bush´s watch, steve kroft would still be doing weekly or bi-weekly investigative shows on it. b/c it´s obama, hardly a mention and it will never come up again in any interview, t.v. show or sunday rounds. incredible.

He is the one who heard George Soros admit to sending 150 Jewish people to their deaths at the hand of the nazi´s just so he could sell their belongings.
He just ignored it.

I wouldn´t watch 60 Minutes If you paid me.
Our own side (republicans) couldn´t even find the courage to ask the whereabouts of the 30 or so Benghazi survivors. Those are the stories we need to hear.

It was a white wash by the political elite.
No one asked who gave the order to standdown. Why no rescue attempt etc. Big chicken liverd cowards.
I will never vote for another Demorat or Repubrat.
The country has been taken over by wannabe commies and the Repubs are in lock step useful idiots that they are.

Sunday`s 60 minutes interview could be any interview Obama has already given. The whole thing has been scripted with the prescribed outcome. Barack and Her Spectacleness will pat each other on the back for a job well done. Neither of these characters would allow themselves to be put on the spot unnecessarily. This is how Dems operate. When the going gets tough they circle the wagons and join hands. This `interview` will put the whole Benghazi Disturbance to rest as it fades from the public consciousness.
As for Steve Kroft, well, we know what he is. I`m surprised his shoulders a slumped over from all the water carrying. One thing for certain, you can bet your bottom dollar Hillary will make an appearance on The View within the next month to a standing ovation - and she`ll look a whole lot better than she did in front of the senate panel.

Excuse me for being slightly off topic, but Hillary is getting too much credit for “What difference does it make?” Credit should be shared with Henry Congressweenie Henry Waxman, who’s defense of Bill Clinton was, “So what?”

#13 is absolutely right. Best thing all of us can do is to ignore these *shows*. Because all of the news personnel got the message when the muslims beheaded Daniel Pearl, who was a big time N.Y. Slimes reporter. The message: You do as we say or this will be you. Petty simple. Kroft likes his head.

60 Minutes is the Supreme High Court of State Propaganda. So you watch these commies only to find out what´s next from the nazi socialists. Softball Steve, at least he won´t be on his knees in visual supplication with the crazed little king. Last night, Steve Bannon & Peter Schweitzer of Breitbart, appeared on Sean Hannity and revealed the beginnings, the tip of the iceberg, of political lobbying, cash extraction, fancy restaurants, only the most expensive wines and cars, all in BOOMTOWN, Washington DC, the only boom town that ever happened off the backs of the taxpayers. No oil, gold, manufacturing or hi tech here, just cash extraction by Obama his comrades, all democrats, all republicans, they´re all in it together. They really have no serious arguments between themselves because they are all committed to stealing as much of the fake money the Fed prints as they can get their hands on while it lasts. So simple. Every one of them is an Extracting Thief. Each Congress droid, each close relative, each lobbyist, each outside contractor, each one of these traitors has their own money extracting racket. he nummbers Steve and Peter presented are catastrophic. And the Beltway crooks secret is safe with Diane Sawyer, who, in exchange for being paid multi millions of lobbying sponsor dollars, protects all lobbeyed greed & crime in DC. The Bannon and Schweitzer truth team are a perfect Breitbart offering, and leave the lies of 60 Minutes in their smoke. If possible, avoid the Sunday Lies of Obama and Kroft. They might make you sick !

Kroft will NEVER ask any tough questions. If Obama mishandles any of the questions asked, Kroft will simply have those flubs edited out of the final product. Kroft will never ask any questions about Operation Fast & Furious, despite the fact that hundreds have been murdered with the weapons Wise King Barky supplied to Mexican drug cartels. This isn´t journalism, it´s fellatio, and Steve Kroft deserves the Golden Kneepad Award.

No one in the MSM will ask the tough questions. Not one of them.
We know who ordered the stand down. The only one that could. Barack Hussein Obama. I was listening to the War Room on Thursday. Quinn and Rose. A man called in to say that his son was a Marine on a naval ship in the Mediterranian on 9/11. His Marine Commandor called the WH directly to say that they were about 2 hours away and that they could send help. Obama ordered him to stand down. How many times did Obama order this stand down?
So this is more confirmation that Obama allowed 4 of his employees to be murdered. The question now is why would he allow that? What American President would not do everything in his power to save his people?

You may be forgiven if you missed it during last week’s tsunami of scandals, but President Obama finally let slip that he is a socialist. Buried in the 17th paragraph of one of those mewling New York Times pieces on the woes of Obama — can we start calling him Woe-bama yet? — appeared these two words: “going Bulworth.” Obama himself, the Times explained, has been “longingly” telling his inner circle that what he’d really like to do is what Sen. Jay Bulworth, played by Warren Beatty in his 1998 movie “Bulworth,” did: to go public as

"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?"

Appearing on Sunday morning on ABC News’ This Week, White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer told a credulous George Stephanopoulos that the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups was “inexcusable,” and that the law with regard to the activity was “irrelevant.” “I can’t speak to the law here,” he said. “The law is irrelevant. The activity was outrageous and inexcusable, and it was stopped and it needs to be fixed so we ensure it never happens again.” When asked for clarification, Pfeiffer expounded: “What I mean is, whether it’s legal or illegal is not important to the fact

Appearing on CBS’ Face the Nation, White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said that it was “largely irrelevant” who edited the talking points the Obama administration trotted out in the aftermath of the terrorist attack in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. Host Bob Schieffer asked, “That was just a PR plan, to send out somebody who didn’t know anything about what had happened. Why did you do that? Why didn’t the Secretary of State come and tell us what they knew, and if they knew nothing, say ‘We don’t know yet?’ …. Why are you here today?

On Fox News Sunday this morning, White House spokesman Dan Pfeiffer was asked by Chris Wallace where in the White House President Obama was during the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans. “Question,” asked Wallace. “What did the President do the rest of that night to pursue Benghazi?” Pfeiffer answered, “Look, the President was kept up to date on this as it was happening the entire night, from the moment it started until the very end …. I recognize that there’s a series of conspiracy theories Republicans have been spinning about it

The Homeland Security Department has granted legal status to 99.2 percent of all illegal immigrants who have applied under President Obama’s new non-deportation policy for young adults, according to the latest numbers released Friday. That’s a slight drop from the 99.5 percent approval rate reported last month. The policy, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, grants legal status to most illegal immigrants under the age of 31 who came to the U.S. before age 16 — usually brought by their parents. They are allowed to remain in the U.S. without fear of deportation, and are given work

President Obama on Sunday summoned the graduates of historically black Morehouse College to “transform the way we think about manhood,” urging the young men to avoid the temptation to make excuses and to take responsibility for their families and their communities. Delivering a commencement address at the all-male private liberal arts college in Atlanta, Obama spoke in deeply personal terms about the “special obligation” he feels as a black man to help those left behind. “There but for the grace of God, I might be in their shoes,” Obama said. “I might have been in prison.

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.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

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.

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.

(Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
