Brutal Las Vegas Review-Journal Editorial
Labels Obama ‘Unworthy’ of His Office

PJ Media, by Bryan Preston

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 11/2/2012 4:46:52 AM

Writing at Instapundit, Elizabeth Price Foley says she’s never seen anything quite like this blistering editorial. I have to agree. It’s astounding. Based on documents released by the committee, on the day of the attack the Pentagon dispatched a drone with a video camera so everyone in Washington could see what was happening in real time. The drone documented no crowds protesting any video. But around 4 p.m. Washington received an email from the Benghazi mission saying it was under a military-style attack. The White House, the Pentagon, the State Department and the CIA

Comments:
L-Dotters can't post directly from the Review-Journal, so this is next best. Maybe even better, since we get the editorial plus a review of it.

He was 'unworthy' in 2008. In 2012, he should be persona no grata.

If Mitt does not win this thing. It will be because he did not use this to his advantage. The MSM will cover for 0bama to the best of their ability. While they fawn over how Presidential he looks in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

President Obama ALLOWED the murder of an American Ambassador and 3 ex-SEALS because 'didn't want to offend the sensibilities of the new radical Islamic regime which America and British arms had so recently helped install in Lybia.'
.... Offend Islamics?

America and British arms? Excuse me?
.... Since there is no way Obama can lay the blame on Bush,
.... And since the CIA isn't going to accept blame,
.... And Hillary won't take responsibility,
.... And the State Department didn't make the decision,
.... And the military was told to stand down,
Obama is going to try blaming the British?

If Obama does 'win', he may be the historic first black president removed from office, and it could happen so soon the suddeness would stun even even us.

The cat's out of the bag. Exposure of Obama's lies and coverup has gone viral. Twitter remarks are apparently becoming the the modern equivalent of the newspaper. And Chris Matthews is asking, "What scandal?"

After reading the LVRJ editorial last night, it was all I could do not to stand up and yell YES!

The entire MSM cabal had disgraced itself in the covering for a man who is nothing but an illusion they have enabled in his attempts to run the United States into the ground.

Thank you LVRJ for telling it like it is. How refreshing!

And this was published on the day pResident Fraud-in-Chief-Jacket returned to the stump and made his NINTH appearance here in Las Vegas - NINTH appearance, JUST THIS YEAR. He gets much luv from his unions here.... can you say ''lockstep''?

The RJ still pulls its world/national stories from sources like AP and Reuters, and we see left-leaning and deceptive headlines and stories. But even though the paper was bought out some time ago and turned leftward a little, the Editorial Board remains as staunchly conservative as it was back in the day before Nevada became a suburb to Los Angeles.

Rock on, guys!

I believe the decision to do nothing was directed by Valerie Jarrett and Axelrod because they didn't want B0 to be saddled with a Carteresque mission which failed so close to the election. Remember Jarrett was the one who kept convincing B0 not to go after Bin Laden frequently before she was finally overruled by Panetta about a year later.

Have their eyes finally opened? Las Vegas is really hurting, still, from the huge government fixes everything mentality. The residents, I didn't say citizens, of Staten Island are just finding out. And now the circus act taken on the road wants to establish the Department of Business to help business work with Health and Human Services, Treasury, Interior, Commerce, Homeland Security, Energy, Education and all the other over educated enforcers. The TV star media is sick and we can only hope it is terminal.

Obama is above the law. No congress will impeach him. They would be subjected to a negative media assault we can't begin to imagine. There would be riots in the streets. Our only chance to get rid of him will be next Tuesday. At this point NO ONE who loves this country should contemplate sitting this election out. Vote like your life depends upon it.

Media is culpable in this mess. Lets pick one of the alphabets and remove them completely from our diets of news consumption. We're acknowledging that's it difficult to turn off all the news, all the time , so lets pick one and put them out of business. The obvious choice is NBC

NBC news , Today, MSNBC, Rock Center, Morning Joe, Chris Mathews , Meet the Press. I love political shows, news shows but something's gotta go.

We moved ehre in 2001. I wanted to take the paper, RJ, but, noticed right away it had a terrible lefty color. The "other paper" is nothing but a re-wrap of the RJ- they call it something different, but inside, it's exactly the same paper. So, we did not subscribe. We became accustomed to the internet for our news and have been very happy ever since. The RJ finally quit salivating over Øbama when he came out and told America not to come to Las Vegas, not one, but three times! Lefty Mayor and the casino people all went nuts. But, unfortunately, the unions, very strong here, are still deeply enamored of the boy goon, even though, their ranks are decimated by the economic disaster led by Øbama. It is just nuts.

I've been saying since 2008 that Obama was unworthy to even run for POTUS. I'm convinced now that he is a traitor, though he'll probably never stand trial.

#31: I had noticed that. We haven't had cable in years (actually, haven't had a tv in years), we just got an old tv a friend no longer wanted. We will be getting a converter in a couple of weeks so we can keep an eye on the weather when it gets dicy (like hurricanes). Another place to look at who is behind what internet company. Very interesting who owns what.

Actually I havebeen thinking of scotching my cable forthe TV. I have to say tho that TW has been great, quick service, no outages for me anyway-not one in years.
but they have so much of my pack as paid, and espanyol, and sports. the Latest they have added 3 laker channels! I think that might make five if I count games on tnt.
but if Obamgets re-elected ,I am quits. I don't go to movies not since '91. I tell people why support companies thatare tearing down the country? No use.
If Obama is re-elected I won't listen to any radio, talk or other, and prob will cancel cable for tv.
Go back in yr mind and think how manytimes we heard GWB speak on media.
We never heard him except when he mis-spoke and when the press rephased what he said.
Obama is speaking every 15 mins on radio at every break-NO more!

In the old days, a fiery blast of investigative truth from a small paper like the Vegas Journal, would, best case, be buried by AP, UP and Reuters, then avoided scrupulously by the networks and press, and would die instantly, thanks to the Cronkites
(the Diane Sawyers of yesterday). And that, good friends, is how the vital New Media, WORKS NOW, thank you Drudge, Breitbart, Lucianne and many more, to get the truth past the networks of Sawyers Brokaws TV Traitors to the Truth !

#37 is right, very good point.

And I don't understand why #34 would include radio in the boycott. Talk radio is one of the few last bastions of freedom. If it's hard to get the good channels where you are, most of it is now available streaming over Internet and on phones with apps like iHeartRadio. I have a daily diet of good shows in my pocket, and I listen to them over headphones at work while the Massachusetts moonbats chat outside my cube about how wonderful The Won is. Talk about being behind enemy lines!

Hang in there and pull those levers Tuesday - broken glass!

Mitt has been smart to keep things positive. Thus it would be interesting if he were to end with a question in an ad in Iowa, Ohio, Penn, Col., Nev., and New Hampshire: Do you want to know what went wrong in Benghezi? If you do vote for Romney/Ryan. We promise to uncover everything that happened and make sure it never happens again. I promise to protect our Embassies. And, I promise to tell the truth to the American people.

Rush has been right about Obama for four years and counting. We all now wish he had failed, but he has not.

Obama is slowly, systematically reducing America to a third world nation.

His refusal to help Americans in Libya is proof of his preference for Muslims over Christians (us) and Jews (Israel).

You cannot prove to me that he is not a Muslim in his heart of hearts.

Remember him saying that the sweetest sound was the Muslim call to prayer?

Or how he reverently pronounces Islam with emphasis on the second syllable: IsLAM?

Or his wedding ring with Muslim inscriptions on it?

Or proof that he is America's most Biblically hostile president in history?

Check this out from David Barton: http://www.wallbuilders.com/libissuesarticles.asp?id=106938

If you're a Christian or Jew, start praying now and don't stop ... don't let this man back in office.

Each new revelation of the horrendous events in Benghazi on 9/11/12 put the actions and inactions of Obama and Hillary into clearer and more damning perspective.

For instance, they knew all of the information that we are just now learning when they spent our tax dollars to produce an apology ad blaming and condemning that trumped up anti-Islam video, which essentially excused the actions of these murdering terrorists, and played it in their middle-eastern homeland.

The actions of Benedict Arnold pale in comparison.

I completely quit watching all television except for Steelers, Pirates and Penguin games. I did this back in the bill/monica days because I was embarrassed to watch with my daughters. Not even at 6 in the evening can I watch with my kids or my parents, just too wierd and uncomfortable for me. I get alot more done and I feel alot better. Tv created this whole mess our country is in and I choose not to participate. I urge you all to try it. At least, start out by blocking out the worst offenders. You may find that you end up blocking them all! Start some new hobbies you always wanted to try, you will be amazed at how much you can do just by giving up this one BAD HABIT!!!!!

The Supreme Court could soon end one of the federal government´s most archaic practices. Since the 1930s, the Agriculture Department has turned California raisin growers into pawns of its Raisin Administrative Committee, which can commandeer up to half of the farmer´s crop and then pay them little or nothing for the product. Marvin Horne, a 67-year-old raisin farmer in Fresno, Calif., was fined almost $700,000 for refusing to surrender control of much of his harvest to the government committee in 2002. Horne, who has been growing raisins for more than 40 years,

There are many who scoff at Andrew Cuomo’s chances in a presidential primary campaign, but I am not among them. His name is an iconic Democratic brand, he’s forceful on the stump and a prodigious fund-raiser. Besides, somebody has to win the nomination. Of course, there are hurdles. Saint Hillary is gearing up to run, and there will be a scrum among contenders, probably including Vice President Joe Biden, competing just to be Clinton’s top rival. The scenario, then, is daunting but doable — or at least it was,

Historian James Thomas Flexner referred to George Washington as "the indispensable man." Americans all know he was a general, but have you ever wondered what grade of general? How many stars did Gen. Washington have? In today´s Army, a one-star general is a brigadier; two stars is a major general; three stars is a lieutenant general; four stars is just plain general. During World War II, Congress created the five-star general, the modern rank of general of the Army. There had been an earlier grade that was called general of the Army,

Meanwhile, many of South Korea’s youth were worried about something else.

Because the F.B.I. is investigating Eric Murdock, the whistleblowing former assistant coach, for extortion. University officials let it slip to The New York Times´ Steve Eder that Federal Bureau of Investigation officers recently visited the campus and met with athletic director Tim Pernetti sometime before Pernetti was fired on Friday.

It’s has everything: love, lust, greed, war, self-sacrifice and redemption. It’s called ‘The Bible.’” Executive: “Could you repeat that? You said ‘The Bible’?” RD and MB: “Yes – we want to retell the Bible for this generation. And we think we can make money doing it.

Since the Shermans of General Patton´s Third Army crossed the Rhine on March 22, 1945, there have been American tanks in Germany. No more, as John Vandiver of Stars and Stripes reports. The U.S. Army’s 69-year history of basing main battle tanks on German soil quietly ended last month when 22 Abrams tanks, a main feature of armored combat units throughout the Cold War, embarked for the U.S. The departure of the last M-1 Abrams tanks coincides with the inactivation of two of the Army’s Germany-based heavy brigades.

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? 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. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

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.

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

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained to the Women in the World summit in New York today that the clock is turning back for women in America. Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

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

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?"

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

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,

SANFORD - Trayvon Martin´s parents have settled a wrongful death claim for an amount believed to be more than $1 million against the homeowners association of the Sanford subdivision where their teenage son was killed. Their attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed that paperwork at the Seminole County Courthouse, a portion of which was made public today. In the five pages of the settlement that were available for public review, the settlement amount had been marked out. Lower in the agreement, the parties specified that they would keep that amount confidential. When asked during an earlier interview whether the amount was
