| Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) on Friday questioned how President Obama was able to sleep on the night of September 11, 2012, knowing that the U.S. consulate was under attack and the lives of U.S. officials were at risk. "I have no idea if the President required a sleep aid that night, but if he did, anybody else in America has trouble sleeping, you better get what he had, because it works well," Gohmert said on the House floor. "How the President of the United States can sleep that night, as the ambassador that he put in place, that

It´s a rhetorical question. Everyone knows Obama was disconnected, disengaged and dysfunctional. Probably out under the east portico getting high.

I have trouble sleeping at night because of what this despicable man did to Christopher Stevens and the other people who were killed in Benghazi. In fact, I am having trouble sleeping at night because of most things this despicable man has been doing over the past 4 years.

I agree that Obama was disengaged from national affairs on the night of Benghazi, but I´m not yet convinced he was actually sleeping.

Maybe he had a late night call with Jay Z and Beyonce, discussing important issues such as to lip sync or not to lip sync the national anthem at the inauguration.
Its right to question how he could sleep through that. What´s more, there should be more than just a Republican asking that question. I suspect there will be some others asking the same thing very soon. At least it should be.

Play the film of Stevens being raped and then let´s discuss the IRONY of blaming an anti-muslim film for getting them all riled up.
These guys are lucky they´re not ALL meeting their 75 virgins. Treating our Ambassador like that, and the Commander in Chief SLEEPS ?
And on September 11th of all days ?

I´m convinced the Preezy had the kidnapping of Stevens all set up and he had nothing to worry about (he thought). The two guys who started shoting at the terrorists are what messed it up. Wouldn´t the GOP know the presumed story by now? I saw Sean Smith´s mother on Greta´s show recently and she has heard nothing about anything. Did she even get to bury him? Where are the +30 survivors who were bussed out.

How does he sleep at all? He has the Saddam Hussein Disorder. That is why he is always moving around, to avoid being a sight picture for very long. Probably, went upstairs, smoked a couple of joints, poured Mooch a BIG Drink; it was lights out then.

I´m not sure he was asleep at all. He was watching with a grin as the "assassination" of Stevens he put in the hands of his minions was carried out perfectly thus eliminating a potential leak about the Syrian gun-running going on in the "consulate!"
Yes, and the other 30 or so are in hiding from interviews as was Tim McVey, the general who tried to testify about OKC, the survivors of the BP rig and why all shut down systems failed. Where are his records,et al.
Let´s not forget, this is the most transparent administration in history and he can prove it!!!!!

Actually Congress is trying to get a list of the 30 survivors and copies of their interviews ( done on 9/13) from the FBI .i guess the GOP will hold the confirmation vote on Hagel until the FBI complies. Hopefully Hagel will withdraw his nomination next week, and we can hold Brennan´s confirmation at CIA hostage until the FBI is forthcoming. Just a LITTLE problem with transparency for Obama.

"Let´s face facts: the American media is in an abusive relationship with Obama." So marvelously said Dennis Miller on Fox New´s the O´Reilly Factor in a discussion about the Internal Revenue Service scandal Wednesday (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary): DENNIS MILLER: Nobody in the press is going to bear in on this. Let´s face facts: the American media is in an abusive relationship with Obama. They don´t quite know what to do. If you take the New York Times, you could refer to it as "Fifty Shades of Grey Lady."

On Wednesday, CNN anchor Jake Tapper dug into the controversial way in which members of President Barack Obama’s administration have apparently tried to intimidate whistleblowers in the government and the journalists that would investigate their stories. Tapper said that some, including the New York Times editorial board, have described the administration’s actions as “threatening fundamental freedoms of the press.” He warned Obama’s supporters to remember the precedent his administration is setting when a Republican next occupies the Oval Office. Tapper noted that the scandal surrounding the subpoenaing of Fox News reporter James Rosen’s personal telephone and email

Write you? About this particular subject? Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan asked during a House Oversight hearing. “Did you get letters from Congress?”

The chief judge of the District’s federal court issued an unusual order Wednesday, apologizing to the public and the media for not making certain court documents widely available online. The gesture of transparency by U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth comes at a time when the Obama administration is under scrutiny for an unprecedented number of leak investigations, including one showing that the Justice Department had secretly probed the news-gathering activities of Fox News reporter James Rosen. The investigation of Rosen was first reported Monday, after The Washington

In some other universe this would be shocking. In this universe it’s par for the course, and I don’t mean the golf course, but the guy who makes the golf course his second home. The US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ronald C. Machen – the man responsible for the aggressive surveillance and phone record scrutiny at Fox News – is also a big donor to the Obama Campaigns. At the time of his appointment, the Washington Post wrote a profile on Machen including this tidbit: Over the years, he has donated $4,350 to Obama’s campaigns.

I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

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.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

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.
