| Even before Defense Secretary Leon Panetta contradicted the initial story about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, today, Obama administration officials told ABC News they were concerned after the White House began pushing the line that the attack was spontaneous and not the work of terrorists. Events were too uncertain, and suspicions had been aroused, officials said. (Snip) White House officials acknowledge that assessments have changed over time as intelligence has been confirmed, but they insist that no information was given in bad faith and there was no attempt to downplay the attack.

Comments: Major Streisand exhibited in the 0bama regime here as Tapper relates how they told lie after lie. The original concern must have been that their lies were so stupid that some experienced officials knew they wouldn't stand long.

The press isnt really going to take them to task for this. The attacks happened two weeks ago....it's old news. Besides....Romney paid too much in taxes....what an idiot. /s/
Doesnt matter. The press will not report the truth and will go out of its way to keep liberals in power no matter who they are. Republicans can't do anything in Congress until they have enough votes to overcome the democrats. And does anyone believe that democrats will vote to impeach a democrat president no matter how incompetent and corrupt. The justice department wont do anything. They are to busy protecting Obama and Holder. The Supreme Court?? I suspect that Thomas, Alito and Scalio may be the only ones on the court that have ever read the constitution.
So.....my friends. The only way that anything is going to change is at the ballot box. And if the ballot box fails, It may be time to consider watering the tree of liberty.

Simple. There is nothing at all surprising here. We do not have a President of the United States nor of the American people. Until November 6, it is a reelect at all costs operation. The first cost of course being The Truth. And the American people be damned. Any administration figure with character should have already resigned. The lack of resignations show you what kind of characters are presently infesting our government at the highest levels.

In my take on things..the conservative media, et al, Rush, Sean, Levin have missed the point. Yes, it was a terrorist attack, all of us in the know knew it was tied to 911.
This issue they miss to interpret is that this was a PLANNED attack to coincide with 911 and they didn't today emphasis the Iranian leaders position that it had NOTHING to do with a stupid video a CHRISTIAN made that no body saw.
To me, THAT was the point to make.....

All the gloating over Bin Laden's death probably contributed to this attack. This is not being discussed among the usual liberal sources--the alphabet networks, the New York Times, the WaPo, etc. But Abu Ghraib--where no one was killed-- was front page news in the Times for months.

To me, for as fast as they came out with this idiot video story, sounded as if they knew not only that the attack was planned, but they had their excuse all in line already too.
Come on - think about that day. First we see Barcky and Mitch at the 9/11 ceremony at the DoD, looking all solemn and somber, even trying to look respectful. I wondered at the time what he was really thinking..... could he have been pondering this attack? We now know they had 24 hours' notice ... ergo, he knew at that 9/11 ceremony what was about to happen - or at least what COULD happen that day.
The video excuse was thrown out there all too fast, too pat, too continuously. They almost all sounded like hostages - saying what their captors made them say, 'OR ELSE.'
Pretense 9/11 face, toss out moron excuse of a video, FLY TO VEGAS, baby! No big deal!

But the empty heads who drool and pant after Obama have been convinced the man sits in jail because he, alone, is responsible for all terrorist activity.

This whole business is sickening. 0bama can do and say ANYTHING he wants with impunity.
The alphabets have been breathlessly telling how 0bama is way up in the polls and mentioning "the video" in every conversation. And I do mean "breathlessly." They get so excited when they are giving favorable poll info for their messiah that they get short of breath.

They knew this was the result of their total incompetence when it happened and their instincts were to lie and assume the MSM would cover for them.
No wonder they sent zero off to hide behind the teleprompter on the campaign trail instead of facing world leaders after having American blood on his hands.
How ironic that shortly before this happened Zero's sycophants were replying to claims that he didn't attend daily security briefings that he didn't need to. After all - zero figures he's always the smartest guy in the room.

This uber political administration's calculation is... If this disinformation fiasco was embarrassing, and if they've lost political capital in DC on this, it is well worth it for the few thousand voters they fooled in Ohio, Virginia and Florida. Fooled them into thinking that the Prez is still strong on foreign stuff and Benghazi was all about that crazy video. Mission accomplished.
These administration characters are not trying to fool us political smarties, so don't be insulted by their transparent lies. They are all about fooling the foolable, and that, they think, is all they need to win a close election.

#21, what we are witnessing is the beginning of a true dictatorship.
**The Press is not independent, has no interest in getting at the truth. Exceptions of course, still FOX (although wobbles a bit here and there --not counting, for example, O'Reilly), and "new media".
**Those who would normally speak out or protest about fraud and deception are fearful of doing so.
**And then, we have a thoroughly dumbed-down population, with large pockets of non-citizens who have no love for the Country, no desire to become part of it.
Over and over BO has thumbed his nose at us. He gets away with his unConstitutional behavior. With each infraction he gathers more strength.
With the aura of great popularity, those Democrats who might join those who seek to rein him in are frightened into moral paralysis.
PRAY.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, or all of the people some of the time, but NOT all of the people all of the time. Obama is about to learn a lesson. Send this story far and wide, it is up to us to inform, as there is very little legitimate media anymore. It is up to us to replace Obama the failure.

If should have been as clear a cleaned glass that an attack that occurred on the anniversary was NOT any flash mob activity but a very carefully planned and executed action. And it was planned to occur on 9/11 for a reason. For someone who is supposed to be the smartest man in the world(Obozo) and the smartest woman in the world(PIAPS) it sure was a miss. And like others here, I would not be surprised if the video story was already known by the WH and was being kept it secret to be used at a convenient time.

President Mr. Eye Candy was to busy with Letterman, The View and JZ to be concerned about early reports of Terrorist trouble at our embassies in the Middle East. Consequently, when the Middle East blew up the Pres. was stuck sucking his thumb?
Obama is like that wicked witch in Snow White peering at that mirror asking who is the fairest of them all....and the mirror always says you my dear leader.

All those administration faces on TV drank the Kool-Aid, just like the ones who said that Pres. Clinton was innocent.
They all lie through their teeth for the one in the Oval Office in order to keep their cushy jobs at high salaries that they could never get anywhere else because they are liars, incompetents, stupid and devious.
At least half those people, beginning with Carney, Rice and SofS Clinton should be out on their ears at once.

One can only imagine if this scenario had happened during the Bush administration. The story would have grown and it would have been nearly the media's only topic for weeks on end. It would have been presented in such a way to make Bush look totally incompetent, and the drumbeat of impeachment would have started up and kept on. The Sec.of State would have been brought up on charges. The media would have seen to all of it and feasted on the blood letting ad infinitum. I defy any liberal to tell me different.

With this entire Benghazi episode we have a totally revealing window into how this administration thinks and operates, and manipulates especially with the help of their corrupt news media lackeys. Evidence of this last point was the over the top shiny object the media immediately created over Romney's initial statements. Obama ordered his corrupt news media arm to make a really big deal about Romney's remarks as a smokescreen as to what was really happening in Benghazi and beyond.
So Benghazi-Gate is an unwitting true transparency into this administration. We can only surmise how they are operating throughout our government where we have no similar transparency. You cannot spot a person's character or lies in everything they say or do, that is why the courts tell juries that when a witness is found to be untruthful in one instance, they may disbelieve their testimony in all other instances. So we cannot prove Obama and his crew is operating in this craven political/disinforming manner everywhere, but we can now certainly surmise it.

We at Townhall have been covering this hotly contested Senate race for months and the results are finally in: With 36 percent of precincts reporting, Elizabeth Warren has been declared the next junior Senator from Massachusetts. Warren has never held public office before and the eye-popping $40 million she raised this election cycle evidently proved more than enough to unseat incumbent Senator Scott Brown. This was the most expensive Senate race of 2012 -- by a long shot.

The Obama and Romney campaigns may be gearing up for a very late night, with one Obama campaign adviser predicting that in Florida alone, "they'll be counting until 2 a.m." The Obama adviser said signs suggest the race is quite tight, though the campaign claimed to be "holding strong" in key battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The adviser also said turnout among black voters in Virginia was better than expected, suggesting that could be a problem for Mitt Romney. Republican operatives in Virginia, though, predicted a razor-thin victory for their candidate in the state.

All races called so far went as expected after the roller-coaster ride of an election campaign that was buffeted by a superstorm and missteps on both sides.

Fifty-five percent of those surveyed, per CBS News’ early exit polling released by radio station WKZO in Kalamazoo, Mich., said Obama’s handling of the storm was a minor factor in their vote or wasn’t a factor at all. Twenty-six percent named Sandy as an “important” factor, and 15 percent said it was the “most important” factor in their decision.

In Ohio, the former Massachusetts governor takes 56 percent of self-identified independents, compared with 40 percent for President Barack Obama. That’s a huge decrease for Obama from 2008, when the exit polls found him winning independents in Ohio by 12 points, 52 percent to 44 percent for John McCain. The numbers are similar but slightly tighter in Virginia: Romney takes 53 percent of independents there, according to ABC News exit polls, a 12-point lead over Obama.

As expected, the presidential race is tight in Ohio, where the polls just closed: President Obama is winning women 55 percent to 44 percent in the early CBS News exit poll, while Mitt Romney is leading 52 percent to 46 percent among men. Women made up 51 percent of the electorate, compared to 49 percent among women. Thirty-nine percent of voters so far identified themselves as Democrats, compared to 30 percent calling themselves Republican. Thirty-one percent identified as independent or something else, and Romney has a big edge among this group - 56 percent to 40 percent for Mr. Obama.

As expected, Republican candidate for President, Mitt Romney, won West Virginia’s five electoral votes in Tuesday’s General Election over President Barack Obama. National media outlets called the race in West Virginia shortly after polls closed at 7:30 p.m. President Obama’s fate in West Virginia has never been in question, as he garnered just 60 percent of the democratic vote in the May primary. The other 40 percent of that vote went to Texas federal inmate Keith Judd, who was placed on the ballot in West Virginia.

Early exit polls show Election Day voters are slightly more Republican than in 2008 and broadly concerned about the state of the U.S. economy. Six in 10 voters said the economy is their top issue according to the poll, which was released by The Associated Press and conducted on behalf of a consortium of media companies. Less than a quarter of voters said their families were better off than four years ago — a point seized on by many Republicans as the results leaked out.

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?”

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

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

Annette Funicello, the dark-haired darling of TV´s “The Mickey Mouse Club” in the 1950s who further cemented her status as a pop-culture icon in the ´60s by teaming with Frankie Avalon in a popular series of “beach” movies, died Monday. She was 70.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

"Right now I´m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative," said Clinton, whose father, Bill, was president from 1993-2001 and her mother, Hillary

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible. Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation. Remember the clap-happy report from Dennis Rodman´s diplomatic basketball vacation? This video comes courtesy of the same Youtube channel that gave us that Rodman video. It appears to be the same state news channel.(Snip for video)This latest dispatch from North Korea´s state television
