| U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice is under fire for going on several Sunday talk shows five days after the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and providing apparently erroneous information to the public. But President Obama’s own public statements about Benghazi, made in three separate nationally televised interviews in the days after Rice’s appearances, were equally misleading and have received scarcely any attention. In defending Rice from criticism from an array of Republicans, including Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham, Obama said at a November 15 press conference,

The sad thing for our nation is that none of this matters to the useful idiots who vote Dem election after election. They don´t care if the candidate is a plagiarist (see Joe Biden,) a fraud (see Elizabeth Warren,) a foul-mouthed deviant (see Al Franken,) a serial liar (see Debbie Washerwoman and a host of others including the preezy) or a totally incompetent, lazy racist with a computer-generated birth certificate.

The press has already lost "the freedom of speech". If one can´t say the truth without fear of losing, then the freedom is gone. I don´t think there are too many journalist anymore who are bright enough to see this.

For the next four years, our family will go into survival, dog-eat-dog, take no prisoners mode. Obama is evil and I really believe that so is the rest of the ruling class in DC. I loathe them all with a few exceptions. L-dotters know who they are, the true conservatives whom the elites and media laugh at. God Bless all of you guys. Let´s survive.

The president thought Ben Gozzi was his roommate at Occidental College.
No, wait... maybe at the Indonesian Madrassa School (spelling?)...
Anyway, Ben was the kid whose uncle or dad or somebody... went to prison as a mobster or hit man.
Not to worry, Obie has a lot of hit men in his past. He don´ care. Bump in da road.

Two One admits "he don´t know much" However he does make this statement ‘The Future Must Not Belong To Those Who Slander The Prophet Of Islam’ These words alone should tell US what is in his heart (if he truly has a heart.....we know he has no conscience) He lies well. That due to LOTS of practice.

FTA- "When Obama taunted McCain and Graham to “go after” him on Libya, he added that he would be “happy to have that conversation.” That would be a discussion worth having. It´s a discussion the public deserves -- and one that voters were probably entitled to before Election Day. "
I would take out " probably " and add definitely. I believe that Barry was MIA during the time the critical decision was made not to send help to the consulate. Now-where was he and in what condition ? If only we had a media to ask these serious questions. Or an elected Republican . Barry was MIA during a previous terror attack. On Christmas Day 2009 , when Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight inbound from Amsterdam on final approach to Detroit - Obama was the last to know. " White House spokesman Bill Burton said Friday that Obama, on vacation in Hawaii, was informed of the incident about three hours after the plane landed. " Three ...hours..... later ??? This sounds just like Obama now saying in lawyerly fashion " as soon as I was informed of the Benghazi situation ".... Not a single member of the media asked where Barry was and why he wasn´t informed until hours later on December 25, 2009. Just like none of them will ask for the exact time Barry was informed of the Benghazi attack.

As long as BO is black, he will never be accountable for anything, nor to anyone. No media will question him about anything and no politician of any party will criticize him.
The term racism has more atomic punch than the N-word, C-word and F-bomb.
Get used to four more years of unbridled and unaccountable spending, tax increases of epic proportions, vacays and parties every month, appointments and beareucracies created thin air, amnesty for 30 to 50 million illegal aliens and a tidal wave exodus of business and capital from the US.
Meanwhile, unemployment, deficit and debt numbers will be faked and hidden. And if more wars or conflicts erupt globally, it will be someone elses fault. Most likely Bush´s fault.
I believe this bafoon should just be ignored, no one show up to his incoherent speeches, refuse to donate or volunteer for his endless campaigning and every venue he stains, the cities should send him a bill for the ginormous costs these cities incur.
Shunning would be the worse than impeachment for the narcissist-in-charge.
I wonder what calamities will occur during the time he and his possee are on vacay?

After two explosions rocked the Boston Marathon on Monday, President Obama huddled with some of his closest advisers. In the Oval Office was Chief of Staff Denis McDonough and FBI Director Robert Mueller, who sat with his chin in his hands and a white binder in his lap. Across from the engraved wooden desk to the president’s left was a relative newcomer, homeland-security and counterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco. She held a capped pen to her face as if deep in thought. The streets of her hometown had burst into chaos, a grim reminder that Monaco’s job is a big one: advising the president on how to best protect his country.

BOSTON — Two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon have resulted in injuries. Bloody spectators were being carried Monday to the medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners. Police wove through competitors as they ran back toward the course. “There are a lot of people down,” said one man, whose bib No. 17528 identified him as Frank Deruyter of North Carolina. He was not injured, but marathon workers were carrying one woman, who did not appear to be a runner, to the medical area as blood gushed from her leg. A Boston police officer was wheeled from the course with a leg injury that was bleeding.

The state’s largest gun owners’ group will seek a preliminary injunction in federal court today to block several sections of Gov. Cuomo’s tough new anti-gun law, including a bizarre provision that even the governor can’t justify, The Post has learned. The unusual section of the new SAFE Act takes effect today, and while it allows legal gun owners to put 10 bullets in the magazines of their semiautomatic rifles and pistols during competitions at shooting ranges, it makes it illegal for them to put more than seven bullets in the same gun magazines

Salam Fayyad has resigned as prime minister of the Palestinian Authority. Losing practically the only Palestinian leader committed to building civil society and limiting corruption is a blow for those hoping for a two-state solution or even an improved quality of life for Palestinians. Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies told me in a phone interview Sunday, “This is undeniably a defeat for the administration and undeniably a defeat for the Palestinian cause.”

As he seeks to extend the discussion about a possible candidacy for mayor — and shift attention away from the online sex-messaging scandal that cost him his Congressional seat — Anthony D. Weiner released a 21-page policy booklet on Sunday that he described as a blueprint for keeping New York City “the capital of the middle class.” The document, named “Keys to the City,” was largely drawn from a booklet of the same title, theme, and format that he distributed five years ago, in anticipation of a mayoral bid in 2009 that he later abandoned.

LESS is sometimes more. That was the message delivered this week by Meghna Das Thakur of the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research, in Emeryville, California, to the American Association for Cancer Research’s meeting in Washington, DC. If a cancer evolves resistance to the drug being used to treat it, withdrawing that drug can sometimes stop the cancer in its tracks as effectively as prescribing treatment in the first place. Oncologists have suspected this for a while. Dr Thakur has, however, proved it is true—at least in the specific case of malignant melanoma and a drug called vemurafenib.

More than eight in ten Americans believe that you should do everything you can to pay the lowest tax rate possible according to new Washington Post-ABC News polling, a finding that suggests that people likely hold politicians to a standard of conduct they themselves don’t adhere to.Eighty-five percent of Americans — and 86 percent of registered voters — say that they approve of people “doing everything within the law to lower their taxes.” Nearly six in ten say they “strongly” approve of doing all you can to pay as little as possible.

THE traditional American mass media — the crumbling, Internet-besieged edifice of newspapers and news shows, magazines and roundtables and journalism schools — evolved to believe with equal vigor in two not entirely compatible ideals. One is an ideal of balance, nonpartisanship and near-perfect neutrality — distilled to its essence, perhaps, by the former Washington Post editor Leonard Downie Jr.’s longstanding refusal to cast a vote, “so that I never make up my mind which party, candidate or ideology should be in power.”

Since he first became a presidential candidate, President Obama must have spent millions of dollars in legal expenses to combat dozens of so-called "birther" challenges seeking the original documents pertaining to his birth. As president, he famously issued an electronic document on the White House website in 2011; the document purported to be his long-form birth certificate, though it is apparently a forgery. In addition, he has taken great pains to hide the paper trail of passport records, college transcripts, and other data -- all of which a prospective employer might require of a job applicant.

Federal investigators said no one had claimed responsibility for the bombings one of the city´s most famous civic holidays, Patriots Day. But the blasts among the throngs of spectators raised fears of a terrorist attack. President Barack Obama was careful not to use the

She accused Bush of being unavailable to the American people for the “first couple weeks” after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Jeff Flake if the Arizona Republican votes against legislation to expand background checks. At a Christian Science Monitor breakfast on Tuesday, Kelly said he would back an opponent to Flake if the "right candidate" was available and if the senator failed to support a background check bill, according to reports. Flake, who is not up for reelection until 2018, has been close to Kelly and Giffords. But Kelly said the issue of control trumped their ties.

"I think we’ve got a good chance of seeing it pass if members of Congress are listening to the American people," President Obama said in an interview on NBC´s "Today Show" that aired on Tuesday. "The notion that Congress would defy the overwhelming instinct of the American people after what we saw happen in Newtown, I think, is unimaginable." Obama was then asked by Savannah Guthrie how he could expect Democrats in red states to vote on this bill when he, as a Senator, didn´t have to himself.
