| A highly defensive and finger pointing David Axelrod pushed off claims President Obama knew the real story of the Benghazi Massacre before the president and his administration repeatedly told the American people and members of Congress otherwise. The question now appears to be who within the State Department will be given up as the sacrificial lamb – all in the effort to insulate Barack Obama himself from any and all responsibility for the deaths of four Americans - including the first U.S. ambassador to be killed since the Carter administration. During on interview with Fox News

Charlene Lamb is appropriately named. Bless her heart. She should be cleaning out her office now - it's easier if you only have to carry a couple of things on the last day.
Then, the WH and State Dept will tell us ''see - we've gotten rid of the incompetent and everything is back to normal. Nothing more to see here. Move along''...

I think the Clinton & 0bama camps agreed to the cover-up on day one. I bet it was Hillary's idea and 0bama agreed to go along. Cover-up is Clinton's first instinct. After all, they got away with the flight 800 cover story. Hillary was a player in each and every one of Bill Clinton's scandals and most likely came up with this to preserve her viability for 2016. Barry went along to keep himself in the race right now. I envision some flunky in a brain-storming session hurriedly searching YouTube for an excuse to deflect the blame from 0bama & Clinton. Fortunately for America, they got busted.

Obama was out front lying for 4 weeks. Clearly this was driven by domestic politics and Obama's obsession with never mentioning Al Qaeda by name. Now is a bad time to try to dump all the blame off on Hillary.

Axelrod - king of the liars. Chris Wallace didn't have the stones to call him on his baloney when he said that Obama had stated the debacle in Libya was a terrorist attack on the very first day. A bald-faced lie when unchallenged - and that's when I shut it off.
Now we'll see if Hillary! puts up with this... or if the Clinton's use their friends in the media to run interference for her. 2016 is just around the corner, after all.

Obama and Clinton would have been pretty stupid not to believe that the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi where Americans were murdered on the anniversary of the 9-11 attacks in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC was not a terrorist attack.
The White House tried a cover up using the insane video, because this attack showed that the terrorists are still out there, contrary to the pitch Obama has been making that he has killed just about all the al Qaeda terrorists and that there is no further need to prosecute a war on the remaining bad guys (radical Islamists).

This is complete BS on Obamas part. We heard about the attack the very next day. If we knew how did Obama fail to ask the right question from those that knew. Is he stupid or simply a liar. Either answer should disqualify him from the WH.

Gay marriage is an issue of equality that fulfills America’s founding principles, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said during Wednesday’s press briefing. Earnest was responding to a reporter who asked whether President Obama feels his stance on gay marriage has “cleared the way” for others to support it publicly, noting Sen. Portman’s decision to support gay marriage earlier this month after his son announced he was gay.

Ruth C. Amen, a longtime office manager of Gulf to Bay Realty, a Boca Grande business, is now facing embezzlement charges after a surprise birthday party for her boss backfired into a paper trail of fraudulent transactions, according to a news release from the Lee County Sheriff´s Office. The 46-year-old Boca Grande woman was reportedly solely responsible for handling the company´s finances such as billing and payroll. It was Amen´s decision to pay for a surprise birthday bash for one of her bosses -- without permission -- that brought the fraudulent transactions to light.

n a story produced jointly with NPR, ProPublica.org, that new tax-exempt investigative-journalism outfit, puts forward what sounds like a smart proposal for improving the efficiency of the federal government: Imagine filing your income taxes in five minutes--and for free. You´d open up a pre-filled return, see what the government thinks you owe, make any needed changes and be done. The miserable annual IRS shuffle, gone. (Snip)So why hasn´t it become a reality? For two reasons, as it turns out. There is a plausible public-spirited argument against it and a venal interest group working to thwart it.

To put it plainly, the press briefing intending to indicate how President Barack Obama thinks about Israel on the eve of his trip here was a combination of fantasy and insult. It is likely that the Obama administration made such statements for show — to persuade the Arabic-speaking world that the United States is striving for peace, is not acting like a puppet (or should one say “ally”?) of Israel, and is using its influence to change Israeli policy even as it does nothing of the sort. As proof that Obama isn’t going to do anything,

When Benedict XVI was pope, the New York Times ran a scurrilous, distortion-infested campaign intended to link the former Joseph Ratzinger with the awful abuse scandals that have so harmed the Catholic Church. These pieces were manifestly dishonest and substance-free when you read them through. But the Times editors know most people don’t read the articles — they read the headlines and the first paragraph. So this morning, the pseudo-journalists at the Times began their campaign of lies against the new pope, Francis, under the damning (and damnable) headline: “Starting a Papacy, Amid Echoes of a ‘Dirty War’”:

KABUL—America´s fraught ties with Afghanistan suffered a jarring blow Sunday, when Afghan President Hamid Karzai said during a visit by the new U.S. defense secretary that the Taliban was killing Afghan civilians "in service to America." The remarks, in a televised speech hours before Mr. Karzai´s meeting with U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, capped a series of confrontations between the Afghan president and the U.S. over his demands to assert Afghan sovereignty and curtail American military operations.

Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

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
