Turns down... sounds more like the coverup has begun, and a Congressional subpoena is in order here.

`It´s even more laughable now that will ever get the truth on this situation. Call Petraeus as a hostile witness.

An "invitation" ? What is going on here ?
This is serious business. A subpoena should be issued for EVERY witness. Quit fooling around. Put it THIS WAY....even Obama deserves justice. Let´s get to the truth. We wouldn´t want people doubting our President now would we. Let´s help him out. Get to the truth and quit being candy asses about it.

Ok Issa. Let´s get tough here. Forget invitations. Subpoena the whole lot. Petraeus, Clinton, Clapper, Mueller. Here´s my theory. Last Spring Petraeus was asking for more security in Benghazi. The administration said No. It didn´t fit in their plan that Al Queda was on the run. Petraeus was a problem. He was unhappy and thinking of running against Obama.The administration illegally put the FBI on it. They have no authority to read emails in the intelligence community. They hit pay dirt. Instead of removing Petraeus for such a gross breach of security, he was blackmailed. Shut up or else. No way would this be disclosed before the election. The President, VP, Clapper and Mueller and Clinton all knew about the affair and that is treasonous and a conspiracy against the United States. All should be arrested. Petraeus had a crisis of conscience- too late. He disclosed the affair himself and resigned. No more leverage against him. He and all the players must be called to testify. The Presidential succession-President, VP Speaker of the House ends up with John Boehner as President. I´ll take it. This is a high crime by this administration against the security of our country. Clearly Clinton knows something and thus refuses to testify under oath. What a disgrace at the highest levels. We need to take out this corrupt administration -now.

(Bill alone, obviously pumping fore her in 2016, should disqualify her: e.g. trusting Romney, a "liar" as designated by our Ex President, who was impeached for lying, and lost his law license.

Oh my gosh, #10 is right! Constitutional Scholar Barry forgot that little detail. A ray of hope for sanity.
Even if the possibility exists that swing state electors could vote down Barry, the media has already taken victory laps.
As for Hillary, I can´t even remember which scandal she was involved in where she testified under oath that she did not "recall". Even that scandal and her lies didn´t stop Noo Yawkkas from electing her their Senatah.

Could someone explain to me how the people directly involved in this thing can just opt out of testifying? I don´t care if they both resign. By the time the hearings start, Karl Rove and Laura Bush will be hauled in to give the answers. I mean it. This is murder and these witnesses should be forced to testify.

Let´s walk backwards through our memories....
Hillary Clinton has already let it be known that she won´t continue as SoS in Obama Reign #2. I did a search on ´´Clinton Resign´´ but too many results come up - wasn´t that announcement last summer?
Petraeus was named Director of CIA on September 6, 2011. (Hmmm.....)
There are many dots to be connected here - I don´t have all the info I need right now but perhaps others can pick up.
I´m still not convinced that Obama´s whispered comment to Medvedev isn´t part of this. Petraeus is in a very precarious position.
And as for Hillary and her ´´turn down´´ of the ´´invitation´´.... well, she does not need any more time to rehearse her responses - ´I don´t recall´ and ´I don´t remember´. However, she might need more time to practice saying, ´I´m sorry, I don´t recall´.
As if.

1. Petraeus abandoned his enlarged force in Afghanistan to double dip: retired 4 star pension + CIA director salary. 2. Obama then arranges for Mrs Petraeus to be hired for newly created senior position in new Consumer Finance Unit of Dodd-Frank. Job keeps Petraeus silent as Iraq and Afghanistan successes erode. 3. As Afghan war effort deteriorates and al-Qaeda surges in ME and Libya, Petraeus grows concerned. Obama turns up affair to keep him loyal. 4. Petraeus creates violent demonstration & video lie to allow Obama to lie about growing al-Qaeda threat. 5. Petraeus resigns to protect whatever honor he has left.

Hillary should not have the option to "turn down" the request to testify. What is wrong with these people? Isn´t anyone being held accountable? If Hillary has nothing to hide, she needs to testify. Hillary has gone public saying she takes full responsibility, well, lady tell us what you know. These people make me sick. The Republicans are now making me mad, as they just roll over. For God´s sake, the democrats had Scooter Libby put in prison for nothing, and we Republicans can´t get accountability when four brave Americans were sent in to do a job, they asked for help, and Hillary and 0bama denied them any help at all, and these four brave Americans are dead. I want Hillary to tell us exactly what happened, and I am afraid no one is going to make her do it. Sick, I tell you.

They already know what happened don´t you get it, they already know. Obama talks about the people, he´s for the people, yea right, he´s talking bout your vote. After that its screw you.

By any observable metric, zombies are totally hot right now. Look at movies like "Warm Bodies" and the coming "World War Z," the ratings for AMC´s hit series "The Walking Dead" (12.9 million viewers for its recent season finale) and $2.5 billion in annual sales for zombie videogames. Over the past decade, between a third and a half of all zombie movies ever made have been released. A glance at Google GOOG -1.51%Trends reveals that in the past few years, interest in flesh-eating ghouls has far outstripped popular enthusiasm for vampires, wizards and hobbits.

J. David Kuo, an evangelical Christian conservative and former top official of President George W. Bush’s faith-based initiative who drew wide attention when he publicly accused the administration of failing to live up to the values it espoused, died April 5 in Charlotte. He was 44.He was diagnosed a decade ago with brain cancer, his wife, Kimberly, said. The arc of Mr. Kuo’s life and career had taken him from liberal to conservative, from hard-edged Republican activism in the 1990s to disillusionment with the idea that politics could serve as an extension of his faith.

This country is an embarrassment. We can’t do anything right, least of all corruption. Look, when Venezuela’s populist demagogue Hugo Chavez died, word was he’d somehow accumulated an estate worth $2 billion. In the old days when the PRI party ruled Mexico uninterruptedly, every president got a single six-year term — and promptly retired at its close as a billionaire.And that was when a billion was real money.

Like most of you, I yearn for shorter winters, more shirt-sleeve weather, less lashing from frigid winds. As a confirmed New Yorker, I’m not willing to do what millions have done: move to the sunbelt. I want warmer weather here in the Big City.But I’ve grown old waiting for the promised global warming. I was 35 when predictions of a looming ice age were supplanted by warmmongering. Now I’m 68, and there’s still no sign of warmer weather. It’s enough to make one doubt the “settled science” of the government-funded doom-sayers.

In a measure of solidarity with those affected by the budget-slashing government sequestration, President Obama is giving up 5 percent of his salary for rest of the year, which is almost as admirable and sensible as a mansion-owner shutting off his marble fountains during a drought.This is not to imply that the president shouldn´t demonstrate some unity with those who´ve been furloughed or lost work because of the blind slashing the sequestration prompted. People like Jeff Maryak, profiled by BuzzFeed, who is considering re-enlisting to make ends meet after a 27 percent pay cut.

WASHINGTON — A photo of the Obamas hugging that was released on Election Day 2012 has become the world´s most popular tweet on Twitter. A dressed-up version of Barack Obama´s State of the Union speech, packed with charts and graphs, is huge on YouTube. A playful picture of the president cavorting with a 3-year-old in a Spiderman costume is a favorite online. It´s all courtesy of the Obama image machine, serving up a stream of words, images and videos that invariably cast the president as commanding,compassionate and on the ball. In this world, Obama's family is always photogenic, first dog Bo is always well-behaved and the vegetables in the South Lawn kitchen garden always seem succulent.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- At 11:46 p.m. CT on Friday at Cowboys Stadium, a group of Florida fans rose from their seats and began a rather sobering chant. “Al-most mid-night!,” they yelled. “Al-most mid-night!” Standing on the nearby court, Florida Gulf Coast’s players could only hang their heads. The clock was about to strike 12 on one of the better Cinderella stories in NCAA tournament history. The first No. 15 seed ever to advance to the Sweet 16 finally came off its cloud in a 62-50 loss to Florida. “We made history,” guard Brett Comer said.

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?”

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

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,

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

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

That they were just torturing him.” Source and text corrected by Staff.

Outraged parents said some students at Coelho Middle School in Attleboro cried when they were told by a worker for the district´s food service provider they could not eat on Tuesday because they couldn´t pay or their pre-paid accounts were short on funds. The on-site director for the company, Whitsons Culinary Group of Islandia, N.Y., was placed on administrative leave by
