| President Obama vowed Saturday to hold the right people accountable if it's found that there was breakdown in communications within the intelligence community ahead of last month's attack in Benghazi. "What my attitude on this is is if we find out there was a big breakdown and somebody didn’t do their job, they’ll be held accountable," he said in an interview with "Morning Joe" hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski conducted in Nashua, N.H., according to a report on MSNBC.com. "Ultimately as commander-in-chief I am responsible and I don’t shy away from that responsibility," he added. The taped interview is

0bama is no leader; after nearly two months, he comes out and beats on and chest and loudly proclaims, "We will find who did this terrible thing, make no mistake, we will bring them to justice." What an empty suit. He did not send anyone in the investigate for three weeks; right now he is not investigating, rather, he and his people are trying to stonewall and keep as much of the story hidden as possible, because, yes, 0bama is responsible for three Navy seals and an ambassador being dead, as he denied them security and once all hell broke loose, he did not send help. Now he is covering it all up.

Obama classic.
The denial, non-denial and immediate blame shift.
No Obama has not ended his 6 weeks of serial lies about the Betrayal in Benghazi.
Politico rushed this out to throw a tea cup of water on the firestorm that is growing about the deaths of our heroes and Ambassador in Benghazi.
There is something very sick, twisted, callous and deadly about Obama.

His secretary of defense has scolded us for monday morning quarterbacking, and has also said that he didn't have enough information to launch a defense of the consulate. All he had was real time videos of the fight, and a navy seal with a laser aimed at a mortar setup, as he pleaded for help.

'Ultimately'
eventually, in the end, in the long run, at length, finally, sooner or later, in time, in the fullness of time, when all is said and done, one day, some day, sometime, over the long haul; informal when push comes to shove.
Yes! 'Ultimately' is the right word!

BHO's arrogance is much larger than his big ears or his "Pinnochio nose". How many times in recent past have you heard a president calling himself "commander in chief" over & over & over again? Loved Fox's tribute this morning to Navy Seal Woods on their news program. If we didn't have Fox & some great conservative websites we would have no true news at all - the "talking heads" are still on their kneew for BHO.

Obama claims that it was not he who denied help to the personnel under fire. Even if he did not deny help, he could have countermanded the order that denied them aid. Ultimately, whether he denied them support or refused to countermand an order that denied them help, he is equally guilty.

FBI photos of two men suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings were released on Thursday, prompting an eager public to take the investigation into its own hands. Internet users immediately began scrutinizing the mens´ clothing and backpacks on Reddit, and within minutes, one user had identified the cap on one of the suspects as a Bridgestone Golf hat, available at Walmart.com for $14.99. The black hat has distinct white markings and a logo above the brim that looks identical to the Bridgestone hat.

Just one day after the National Republican Congressional Committee pulled its support for former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford´s special election campaign, its Democratic counterpart is going up on the air in the First District. [Video] The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will launch the new television spot in the district Friday and is spending more than $188,000 to run the ad on broadcast television stations in the Charleston and Savannah, Ga., markets through April 28, according to two national Republican media strategists. The DCCC ad will also run on cable television, but that buy will come through sometime later Thursday.

People keep asking Joe Berti if he feels unlucky. A bomb exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon seconds after Berti finished the race. Two days later, he was in his home state of Texas when he saw a fertilizer plant explode near Waco. "I was just like, `I can´t believe this!´" said Berti, who said he had never witnessed an explosion before. Then he thought: "I just want to get out of here and get away from all these explosions." But Berti, as it turns out, is far from unlucky. Instead, he feels fortunate.

After several days of rain, an overnight deluge overwhelmed Chicago´s underground labyrinth of aging sewers and giant tunnels Thursday, forcing a noxious mix of sewage and stormwater into local waterways and Lake Michigan. The surge of murky, debris-strewn water so overloaded the system that sewage began to back up in basements and geysers of wastewater shot out of several sewer manholes — stomach-churning sights captured by smartphones and posted online. To relieve the pressure, engineers at the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District were forced to rely on the region´s sewage outlet of last resort

The fact there is no love lost between Attorney General Eric Holder and House Republicans was on clear display again Thursday afternoon at a stormy House appropriations panel hearing which culminated with the subcommittee´s chairman declaring he´d given up on Holder and his stewardship of the Justice Department. "Forget it. Forget it. Forget it. Forget it. Forget it," an exasperated Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) declared after Holder refused to commit to a deadline to answer 91 questions Wolf had prepared. The lawmaker, who heads the House Appropriations subcommittee that oversees the Justice Department, said he planned to forego

The greenish-brown concoction — with hot dogs, corn, bright-orange carrots and bits of lobster bubbling to its surface — is ready to start a new culinary chapter. Just 24 hours earlier, these food scraps, albeit in decidedly more appetizing form, were served up to customers at lavish all-you-can-eat buffets on and off the Strip.

On "Hannity" Wednesday night, Steve Emerson broke the shocking news that a Saudi national, Abdul al-Harbi, who was first questioned in the Boston bombing, is going to be deported on “national security grounds.” A devout Muslim from Medina, anti-Jihad activist and blogger Walid Shoebat reports that he is a scion of a very powerful Saudi family with terrorist ties. When al-Harbi was first questioned over his possible involvement in the Boston Marathon bombings, it raised the possibility of jihad in Boston. But then, law enforcement started a succession of extraordinary and inexplicable actions.

The lyrics have nothing to do with Boston ... or do they? Charles Steinberg, a senior Boston Red Sox official, helps to solve the mystery. When the New York Yankees set aside their historic rivalry with the Boston Red Sox and honored Boston Tuesday night with Sox anthem "Sweet Caroline," the gesture didn´t go unappreciated. Neil Diamond, who wrote and performed the song for the first time in 1969, tweeted his thanks, saying: "Thank you NY Yankees for playing ´Sweet Caroline´ for the people of Boston. You scored a home run in my heart. With respect, Neil."

Yesterday, the most modest of gun control proposals died in the Senate. It would have expanded background checks to people purchasing weapons at gun shows and online sales, enjoyed 90 per cent support among the public and came on the back of the tragedy at Newtown. Yet, despite all that it had going for it, the Toomey-Manchin bill raised just 54 votes--six short of the number necessary for passage. “This is a pretty shameful day for Washington,” said Obama afterwards. It wasn’t exactly a red letter day for him, either. Why did the no-brainer bill fail? Four reasons:

President Obama angrily blamed the defeat Wednesday of his centerpiece gun-control proposal on lies spread by the National Rifle Association, calling it “a pretty shameful day for Washington.” “The gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill,” Mr. Obama said in the White House rose garden about 90 minutes after the vote. “It came down to politics.” As he spoke, Mr. Obama was surrounded by family members of victims of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. Also with him was former Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona, wounded in an assassination attempt.

Authorities on Tuesday revealed little new information about the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon, the most high-profile bombing on U.S. soil in more than a decade and a tragedy that presents a new test for President Obama. Obama, like all Americans, is standing by, waiting for answers as to who planted two bombs improvised from pressure cookers at the finish line of the storied race, and why. Three Americans were killed in Monday´s attack and more than 170 others were injured. "Anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror," Obama said,

It failed by a vote of 54 to 46, with 5 Democrats voting against it. Only 4 Republicans supported it. Democratic Sens. Mark Pryor (Ark.), Max Baucus (Mont.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Mark Begich (Alaska) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) voted against it. Reid supported the measure but voted against it to preserve his ability to bring the measure up again. GOP Sens. John McCain (Ariz.), Susan Collins (Maine), Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Mark Kirk

While the media are bearing the brunt of public skepticism over the handling of the Boston bombing, the behavior of government is also eroding public trust. Yesterday´s promised but cancelled news briefing is just one symptom. Andrew McCarthy of PJM notes that "Misinformation rather than enlightenment has been the order of the day in the investigation of Monday´s terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon," and that part of it is the natural outgrowth of the desire of investigators to keep the details of their investigations secret, so as not to alert suspects.

Mark Kelly, the astronaut husband of former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, on Thursday upbraided senators who voted against gun legislation by saying they voted “out of fear.” ”If that vote had been a secret ballot, I bet you it would have passed with 80 votes,” Kelly told reporters. He was referencing the compromise authored by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to expand background checks for gun buyers. It failed to advance in the Senate, with a vote Wednesday afternoon of 54 to 46.

As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.

Washington — President Barack Obama says the Senate’s opposition to a bill that would have expanded background checks for gun buyers marks a “shameful day” in Washington. He says a minority of senators decided “it wasn’t worth it” to protect the nation’s children. Obama spoke in the Rose Garden shortly after the Senate vote rejecting a bipartisan effort to expand federal background checks to more firearms buyers. (Snip) The president pinned the blame for the measures failure, though five Democrats also opposed the plan. He also said the gun lobby and its allies “willfully lied” about background check bill.

Misinformation rather than enlightenment has been the order of the day in the investigation of Monday’s terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon. The anxiety stemming from the attack and the stream of inaccurate news about it is further freighted, moreover, by the FBI’s confirmation that two letters addressed to top political officials — President Obama and Senator Richard Wicker (R., MS) — tested positive for ricin, a deadly poison. As noted below, a man identified as Kenneth Curtis of Tupelo, Mississippi, has reportedly been arrested in connection with the mailings. Early this afternoon, massive confusion
