| David Axelrod, senior adviser to President Obama, had a tense interview on Fox News Sunday, wherein host Chris Wallace pressed him on the White House response to the recent attacks in Libya. Defending the administration’s response, Axelrod further added that Mitt Romney is “working hard to exploit” the issue. Asked whether Obama takes “personal responsibility” for the situation, Axelrod replied, “At the top-line level, the president of the United States takes responsibility for everything that happens on his watch.”

Comments:
The usually cold Axelrod was overheated and agitated. To use the overused cliche, "he protesteth too much".

Losing it - it’s all kind of falling apart and this group of amateurs have no idea how to make it right because telling the truth is incongruous to them.

Axelrod just sat there are lied and lied and lied. And when he wasn't lying he was evading with that "47...47...47" business which was unresponsive to Wallace's questions, which were mostly about foreign policy. The Benghazi mess is the worst presidential scandal ever. Several of the top people in this unfortunate Administration, including Mrs. Clinton, belong in prison. Both Obama and Biden deserve to be thrown out of office. (I know that won't happen, but just for the fun of it, can you say "President Boehner"? He's second in the line of succession, followed by Senate President Pro Tempore Daniel In-no-way.)
It's about time for the referee to step in and end this bout before Obama's punch drunk, rubbery kneed organization does an unconscious face plant, vapor locks, and leaves the ring in a large black forensic examiner's Ziploc.

Oil Can Harry didn't acquit himself well this morning on FNC. If he had answered Chris Wallace's questions, he would have risked opening a can of radioactive worms that could eat Chicago. That wouldn't have gone down well on Lakeshore Drive, in Hyde Park, and in Cabrini Green. The Benghazi imbroglio is the wors--and deadliest--political scandal in our lifetimes.

Then Chris Wallace would be the only one pressing them. It was slam dunk libs all the way on the other Sunday shows this morning. I had hopes for This Week & J Tapper, but all they did was speculate uselessly & ad nauseum on the effectiveness of debates in general - and most from a historical perspective, you see. Far be it from them to get into the unpleasant issues or (shudder) actual current events.

Deepening the mystery of human origins, researchers Thursday offered the most complete view yet of fossils from a puzzling forerunner of humankind, revealing that these creatures were, from head to heel, a collage of primitive and modern anatomy. In six research papers published in Science, an international team described how the hominids had almost-human hands attached to apelike arms, a rib cage that was narrow like an ape´s at the top but more humanlike lower down, and a spine that likely had the same number of vertebrae as a human.

(Snip) This was a mother´s care package, a portable support system for Tianlang Guan, who was about to who was about to become the youngest Masters participant ever. For Hongyu, the idea her son might duff his first tee shot was not a concern. Everything else was. "He forgets to eat," Hongyu said as she watched him take some final putts on the practice green of Augusta National.

Singer Beyonce and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter traveled to Cuba “pursuant to an educational exchange trip” organized by an authorized company, the U.S. Treasury Department said in response to inquiries from Florida lawmakers. The trip by the celebrity couple spurred widespread media coverage after two U.S. representatives from Florida, Republicans Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart, asked the Treasury who approved the travel and for what purpose. U.S. law prohibits financial transactions for tourist activities in Cuba to prevent funding of the government, which controls the industry. The Treasury permits visits for educational reasons.

Sen.

Lee, along with Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) two weeks ago that a GOP filibuster would stop any gun legislation from moving forward on a 60-vote threshold procedural motion. Since then, Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), Jerry Moran (R-Kansas), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho),

When the career of golf´s top player and biggest star was in free fall in 2010, the brain trust of professional golf in the U.S. gathered in their Florida headquarters to contemplate life after Tiger Woods. Huddling with consultants from their Austin, Texas, advertising firm, senior executives at the PGA Tour tried to figure out how to persuade fans, sponsors and television networks to stay invested in a sport whose biggest draw had been disgraced.(Snip)Defying predictions, the post-Tiger collapse never happened, thanks to the rise of a flashy new crop of players.

Offered admission into several top colleges, she accepted a scholarship to UC San Diego, leaving behind the often rough, inner-city world of South Los Angeles. But on Thursday, Dashiell´s talent and promise were a distant, squandered memory as the 24-year-old sat handcuffed in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom. After years of lying, she fully confessed to her role in a 2007 murder and, in a deal with prosecutors, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and attempted robbery.(Snip)Judge Michael Pastor sentenced

These are trying times. Never in the history of this country have we been so weakened and polarized by what many view as deliberate government policy. Now anti-gunners in the U.S. Congress, the Obama administration, and legislatures across the country are seeking to exploit the Newtown tragedy to promote their “gun control” agenda that envisions federal, universal background checks on gun purchases, and that could lead to gun registration and confiscation. At the same time, the increasing militarization of law enforcement, most visibly demonstrated by the growing use of massive, SWAT-type raids on businesses and individuals, sometimes with federal

Only one of my six children has left New York for economic reasons but the strain of living in this expensive nanny state is weighing heavy on my other five and their families. As a native New Yorker, I´ve seen its middle class population decline over the years due to its neglect of blue collar families which is ironic since this is a Democrat city. With the recent arrests of several local politicians for corruption perhaps New Yorkers will pay more attention to those they put in office. Given their past indifference in local elections this is highly unlikely.

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Winters, the cherub-faced comedian whose breakneck improvisations and misfit characters inspired the likes of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey, has died. He was 87. The Ohio native died Thursday evening at his Montecito, Calif., home of natural causes, said Joe Petro III, a longtime family friend. Petro said Winters died of natural causes and was surrounded by family and friends. Winters was a pioneer of improvisational standup comedy, with an exceptional gift for mimicry, a grab bag of eccentric personalities and a bottomless reservoir of creative energy.
