Obama Bristles at McCain
Over Pledge to Block Susan
Rice Nomination over Benghazi

ABC News, by Elizabeth Hartfield

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 11/14/2012 4:09:52 PM

President Obama was visibly angry today after Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham pledged to block Susan Rice, a potential Secretary of State, over her role in explaining the aftermath of the Sept. 11th attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. “They should go after me,” he said. Obama has not yet nominated Rice, but she is considered a frontrunner for the post. McCain, R-Ariz., and Graham, R-S.C., today said they would seek to block a potential nomination because, as Graham put it, she is “up to her eyeballs in the Benghazi debacle.”

Comments:
Bristles? He was arrogant, hateful and rude. Just like he always is. He showed more outrage and anger regarding this than the deaths of the four Americans. Susan Rice is just another in the long list of incompetent radicals in the regime.

[w/Sunlen Miller & Sarah Parnass]

Obama was his usual ugly self and he sounds like the backyard bully defending his turf! What a total fool! We need to support McCain in his effort. He is right.

Hey Bam Bam, actions have consequences. McCain and Graham aren´t a couple of stupid voters, journolists or ballot box stuffers.

I agree with the Poster of this article.

Does everyone remember how Obama reacted to the murders of our four Americans...because they were American?

Obama didn´t "bristle" over the murders now did he? He "bristles" when one of his robots gets caught telling one of his lies...but shows no emotion at all when four brave Americans are slaughtered by Muslim terrorists.

And then the drama queen in chief talks tough and says to "come after" him.

Got a feeling he will regret those tough fightin words.

Anything like this going forward from the disastrous Nov. 6th election is a joke. We´ve lost. The United States of America is dead. There are petitions for all 50 states with hundreds of thousands of signatures requesting that the states be allowed to secede (on whitehouse.gov). This has never happened before in any Presidential election. We are a house divided, and only a complete reboot initiated by Martial Law, widespread civil disobedience and/or a total financial meltdown will allow us to recreate what we once had. Outlawing the democratic Party would be a good start.

Obama is stupid for nominating someone that´s right in the middle of the cover ups and lies on this story. Obama´s saying she said what was known at the time when they knew it was a terror attack the same day it happened. They had 5 days for another lie and stuck to the old one because they figured the media would swallow it.

Obama was perfectly happy sacrificing those people in the name of muslim outreach.

You´d think that someone like John McCain who spent five and a half years being tortured in a North Vietnamese prison camp would simply laugh at being ´´bristled´´ at by anyone and immediately reply with a firmer statement of his purpose.

But so far, there´s been silence, instead of taking the opportunity to fire back.

So we have a lighter-than-air president who´s never even seen the inside of a military recruiting office acting like a big toughguy, while a former military pilot-war hero refuses to stand up for himself, and his country, after a little pushing and shoving by a ninety-pound weakling.

The reality is that those who are infatuated with Ø don´t care about Benghazi. That includes 50% of the voters and nearly 100% of the media. This will go away just like Wright, Ayers, Rezko, the phony birth certificate, Solyndra, and on and on.

What will it take for the Benghazi incident to bring the Obamanation of Desolation down?
My guess is quite a bit.

Since Biden has admitted being in the room when the decision was made. That would mean that both The Obamanation and Plugs would have to go.

Third in line for the presidency is John Boehner. So for demonrats it is of paramount importance to keep a lid on this situation.

I hope they can´t. Boehner may or may not be an effective Speaker of the House but he´d be a far sight better president than the Obamanation of Desolation

Republicans have nothing to lose now by calling this punk the liar that he is.
The truth is that Chris Stephens was hit in a gangland style because he knew too much. His protection was removed a month before, he was ordered to stay on station, and his friends were told to stand down while the hit was executed for Obama. He was a bump in the road to surrender to "the prophet of Islam." the chief jihadist is Obama himself.
Hillary, Susan Rice, the whole crew needs to be exposed, and while we are at it, impeached, for treason. Lay out the case Senators, and redeem yourselves.

"Benghazi" -- an event that will live in infamy for some, and as a book mark for others, like "Haight-Ashbury" -- is the signal to muslims he is "standing down" in the Middle East. What else do you call a "death stare" given to SEALs in peril, and now to generals who had access to all his secrets and agreed, "Don´t ask; don´t tell". Alas, Israel. "Benghazi" -- is also the cover for something as jarring and skillful as overthrowing the country with a controlled election. Maybe the IT work was sold to the highest bidder -- as in "Skyfall." According to today´s "presser", Mitt is immediately going to cross the aisle with some helpful business ideas, that he knows will be peed on. These are all very wealthy people who can sleep well no matter what -- in Mitt´s case he is performing as a righteous, if quiet man -- maybe because the New World Order "ship has already sailed."

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it.

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?”

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,

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

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.

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.”

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.
