Obama to UN: It's Not
My Fault Stevens is Dead

Breitbart's Big Peace, by Joel B. Pollak

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 9/25/2012 1:15:05 PM

Passing the buck in dramatic fashion on the world stage, President Barack Obama told the UN General Assembly this morning that the U.S. government was not responsible for the anti-Islam video that he once again blamed for recent attacks on U.S. embassies in the Middle East. He added that more guards at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi would not have helped save Ambassador Chris Stevens, and that the real problem was "deeper causes" such as religious intolerance. "[I]t will not be enough to put more guards in front of an Embassy; or to put

Comments:
He didn't even mention the SEALs who were also murdered. They're just an afterthought to 0bama or to be used when it is politically expedient.

This is sad for those three others that died. This is a disgrace by our President. The parents and wives of these brave men should be outraged as well as all Americans. I hope voters will wake up and see that Obama does not care for this country. We must defeat him on November 6th.

He's right. Religious intolerance was also the cause of the murders of two people when a suicide car bomber attacked a Catholic church in Nigeria during Mass this past Sunday.

Tolerance is a two-way street.

I have seen the video. It is innocuous, by my standards, partially played for laughs, and not as amateurish as we have been led to believe. Only a Muslim could be upset with it and it is not hateful, disgusting or pornographic. In fact, it is reasonably tasteful and the actors are well costumed and pretty good actors.

The blame game goes on... 0 does not care about foreign policy. He handed it all over to hellery, and she turned the State Dept. into her ideal of the peace corps. Now, America haters all over the world are encouraged, because they have found the door unlocked and the fort unprotected. Remember, even Barny Fife had one bullet...

0 is carrying on business as usual, hoping that the islamos are satisfied with his lip service. But, all of our embassies are sitting ducks waiting for the next round of terror and murder. And, they still hate us.

Obama is living in a fairyland. He is essentially saying that there is no such thing as effective security at American embassies and consulates that could keep a determined band of Muslims from murdering American diplomats unless the world caves to the demands of those Muslims.

If the Muslims did what they did in Benghazi to a Russian embassy or consulate, it would not be long before the Russians responded with brutal force, the Muslims know that, so you don't see the Muslims messing with the Russians.

FTA - "He added that more guards at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi would not have helped save Ambassador Chris Stevens,...."

Well yeah, if you don't allow them to carry arms then most probably more guards would not have helped. But if you allow the guards to carry weapons then I would point out that you just haven't seen a Bushmaster Chain Gun being fired or a 50 cal. Machine Gun. Both of which could most certainly changed the equation a bit.

It is a poorly done play of first grade quality that has adults acting poorly done parts. I have to suppose the Mooslime's problem is that it portrays Mohamad as a man born to a woman not married, he grows up a dolt and womanizer. I was insulted by the extremely poor story line and plot let alone the Mooslimes ranting about their 'prophet or profit or whatever'.

BO - "Eees not my yob!" Imagine an employee sitting in a supervisor's office for his first yearly review. The company he works for had very high hopes for him, but he's screwed up everything he was hired to do with his arrogance, taking too much time off & publicly trashing the boss. Yet he sits there with a straight face & blames his predecessor for all of his mistakes. Then in the next breath, he asks that he keep the job so that he can keep doing the same. How many bosses would keep an employee like that on?

I believe every nation has to go through an Øbama disaster to wake itself up. Remember, even Britain had a Chamberlain before they had a Churchill. I know; the damage the Øbama's cause is horrible, hellish, in fact- and costs many, many innocent lives. But, that is the way of nations. Let us pray that we get away with nothing more than these few brave Americans lost and the hot flush of such embarrassment world wide. We can re-build after our disaster. But, also, let us resolve to never again allow such a creature as Øbama into our White House!

If I was a conspiracy theorist I could have a field day with this. Egypt only as Libya is another story. There is circumstantial evidence that Obama conspired with the Muslim Brotherhood to stage the protests over the film. He did meet with them before the protests began. Word is out that some protesters were paid. The purpose is to control hate speech (i.e. anti-Obama speech) in America. Don't laugh. Obama said something that many have missed in his UN speech. "We insisted on change in Egypt because our support for democracy ultimately put us on the side of the people." WE INSISTED. People here are smart enough to know that Obama may have done more than just support the Arab Spring. I'm having those closet Muslim thoughts again. Like he did with Fast and Furious he may think that if he repeats the movie lie long enough people will believe it. Then there's that executive order he plans to sign soon to give him the power to hit a kill switch on the internet. So he's going around Congress again. It's probably paranoia but I have learned to hope for the best but expect the worst from Barry. Anyway it's fun to pretend to be a mystery writer and speculate.

Stevens was not just Ambassador, probably CIA asset and in grave danger from the start of his clandestine arrival in country. To take a video months old and hardly seen by easily manipulated illiterate Muslim thugs, and then use taxpayer monies to produce in rapid fire an apology to the Muslim world...infuriating beyond words.

I know this is awful, but I have to partially blame Stevens for his own demise. As a big lib/prog himself, he had to know that this administration was not going to be concerned with his well being. And certainly, as such, he was part of the misguided way of thinking they all suffer from, but come on! Even if I was an ardent Zero supporter, I seriously doubt I would trust this administration to protect me as they throw me in the lion's den. We know this already, but we all need to recognize that these people don't think like the rest of us. It's like the idiot yesterday who jumped intl the lions area at the zoo because, he "wanted to be with the lions". Help me here to understand this way of thinking.

The fact that the Candy in Chief is still using the video excuse , makes me wonder if the video wasn't
produced and planted by Axelrod cut outs.
This way, if a terrorist attack happened on the Candy in Chief's watch before the election, they could point to the video
as the culprit, not Candy's failures.
Candy insults private security firms , many made up of former Operators , like Academi ( Blackwater )
and the military by saying they couldn't have
prevented the murders.
He obviously believes a Muslim mob
will always be superior to our guys.

Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice. The wrong name, he warned, could doom a good bill. “If there´s not a

In a revelation that may have Colorado voters rethinking their state’s push on gun control, court documents revealed that the mass shooting in Aurora that killed 12 and injured 70 more could have been prevented by law enforcement. The psychiatrist for suspect, James Holmes, had warned campus police that Holmes was dangerous and homicidal a month before the shooting took place. Lynne Fenton even told the police that Holmes had begun to stalk and threaten her, and yet no action was apparently taken: A University of Colorado psychiatrist told campus police a month before the Aurora

Rep. Peter King of New York on Friday cast Sen. Marco Rubio as a hypocrite for voting against the the Hurricane Sandy relief package and expressed disbelief that the Florida senator would then turn around and try to raise campaign money in the region. Mr. King questioned how Mr. Rubio could vote against the $60 million in relief for New York and New Jersey when Florida has received loads of federal money for Hurricane victims. “Guys like Marco Rubio of Florida, with all the money that you people have gotten in Florida over the years, with every hurricane

Attorney General Eric Holder expressed “concern” Thursday evening that black men are unfairly served with longer prison sentences than white men and that America’s prison system demands overhaul. “Too many people go to too many prisons for far too long for no good law enforcement reason,” Mr. Holder said, in remarks to the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network in New York, Politico reported. “It is time to ask ourselves some fundamental questions about our criminal justice system. … It is time to examine our systems and determine what truly works.” Mr. Holder said in the Politico report

President Obama and other Washington politicians are getting a bum rap on TV news as money-grubbers and power-grabbers, views the president´s former top speechwriter calls lies, especially those aimed at his former boss. Jon Favreau told students at Harvard University´s Institute of Politics that TV portrays political leaders wrongly, and that the public ends up with a bad view of those in power. "I think that a lot of people turn on the news today, a lot of young people, and they hear people tell them that every motivation of every politician on either

Joyce Karam, Washington correspondent for pan-Arabic daily Al-Hayat, offers a sobering assessment on the Al-Arabiya website of the current administrations efforts in the post-”Arab Spring” Middle East. She begins by noting a how a minor recent diplomatic walkback highlights the White House’s contradictory policy: It was only fitting that the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announces another traditional trip to the Middle East on the same day that the U.S. embassy in Cairo withdraws its tweet advancing the case for Egyptian Comedian Bassem Youssef as he faces intimidation from the Mursi government.

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Is going gluten-free
healthier for everybody?

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.”
