| In a story that’s been largely buried by the media for years upon years – and was doubly buried in the aftermath of the Benghazi terrorist attack on September 11 resulting in the death of four Americans – the New York Times is now reporting that US-approved arms that were supposed to go to Libya rebels went to Islamist terrorists. Even more importantly, the Obama administration knew about it before, during, and after the Benghazi attacks. The Times reports: No evidence has emerged linking the weapons provided

NY Times: ...: the Obama administration clearly was worried about the consequences of its hidden hand in helping arm Libyan (Islamic) militants, concerns that have not previously been reported....
Obama´s multiple lies over Libya may finally be unraveling. To update his anonymous WH staffer´s quote from 2011: When you lead with your head up your behind, you can´t be honest about it.

Neither am I #3. The reason Nixon was brought down was because of the never-ending amplification of a fairly minor event by the press. Do you think the press will display the same tenacity regarding Benghazi?

Interesting the NY Slime differentiates between Libyan rebels & terrorists... They´re both from the Muslim Brotherhood.
Seems they are trying to place blame on Qatar... The arms were being recovered by our guys, from Gadfly´s supply & sent to the Mo Bro´s; Why would Qatar send arms to Benghazi? Duh.

we all look forward to the supposed end of the wapo, nyt, boston globe, etc. but what is taking their place? not enough people who aren´t already of the conservative persuasion read this and other "right" sites and those newspapers are still being read by many people and not all dems. benghazi, fast and furious, the supposed financial cliff are all being written about by the left press lens and it´s pretty rosy, at least to me. if obama is out in four years, i´ll eat my hat. we are well on our way to a dictatorship and i´m out of energy and ideas. anyone else have any?

So, Obama knowingly, deliberately armed elements of al-Qaeda and their terrorist offshoots in Libya, resulting in four Americans being MURDERED....
....and there are still no questions about Benghazi from Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer, Scott Pelley, Wolf Blitzer, David Gregory....

It´s a set up, Canada Free Press has a report about the agenda, Behghazi the weapons distribution center for Obama/Cliinton, and Syria the ultimate aim. They want WAR in Syria with Russia and China. A staged chemical attack perpetrated by us, will lead us to boots on the ground and a step closer to war. 100,000 Russian troops already in Syria, NATO is on the way.

I recall Hillary, along with someone else in the administration, telling Congress at the time of our participation (leading from behind, R2P)in the NATO action on the side of the "rebels" in Libya that some of the "rebels" may be al qaeda, but she couldn´t be certain. She knew darn well, but she threw that out there just in case. No one rose out their chair and demanded to know why we would be supporting al qaeda, but then again McCain, Rubio and Graham were all for leading from behind over there.

That provides control of NBC, MSNBC, CNBC and Meet the Press. That would be an MSM outlet to join Fox and counter ABC & CBS. That´s my solution.

"the New York Times is now reporting that US-approved arms that were supposed to go to Libya rebels went to Islamist terrorists." First of all, Libya rebels ARE Islamist terrorists a/k/a al Qaeda. Second of all, the NY Times knew this BEFORE the election because everyone who was paying attention knew it. But they let Obama win anyway. The Times is beneath contempt.

Anyone waiting for the tank media to connect Obama´s dots to yet another debacle , is in for a loooong wait. Just the other day , Dana Milbank penned a column where he expressed red hot outrage that Romney was going about his private life instead of stepping up and helping Obama with the fiscal cliff. I´m not making this up. They will never deviate from their mantra that Obama is as pure as the white cocaine he used to snort and smoke. And Republicans are evil monsters . Before this is over , George Bush and Dick Cheney will be the fall guys.

I agree with #22. All the chatter on the election postmortem is so much smoke and noise. NOTHING will change until the main stream broadcast media is neutralized! They have spent the last 40 years propagandizing and dumbing down the public by treating them like mushrooms (keeping them in the dark and covering them with manure) to the point that they only believe the democrat/labor/socialist line of reasoning anymore. I´m not convinced there isn´t a couple of conservatives rich enough buy out two out of three of CBSNBCABC and make honest news organizations out of them. The should be JOB ONE on the conservative agenda before any other future plans are made. Until the people are told the truth in America, things will not turn around.

Democratic Party officials believe that Kevin Strouse is exactly the kind of candidate who can help them retake the House next year. He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district.

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

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

It is amazing just how wrong economists were in their predictions for the number of jobs that were to be created in March. The “consensus” figure was 200,000 — a far cry from the actual number created which was 88,000. Totally “unexpected,” as usual. In one way, you can’t blame them. After a better than average gain in February of 236,000 (revised upward this month to 268,000), along with some positive numbers in housing and consumer spending, there were no doubt many analysts who began breathing a sigh of relief and believing that the long-awaited jobs recovery was upon us.

Rich Lowery in the New York Post (4-02-2013) accuses the liberals of being the new climate deniers, considering that they don´t recognize that there´s been no global warming for the last fifteen years. This shouldn´t surprise Lowery. When the liberals hang onto the neck of a cause, they don´t let go. They have ignored murders, rapes, wars, nuclear proliferation, and everything wrong with the world to focus in on their little area -- the horror of carbon emissions. You´d think liberals would have learned from their earlier panic about overpopulation

President Obama will propose a budget next week that embraces a risky strategy of courting Republicans for a grand bargain on the debt while angering Democratic allies with cuts to the nation’s entitlement programs. White House officials said Friday that Obama’s budget would cut Medicare and Social Security and ask for less tax revenue than he has previously sought. The budget, to be released Wednesday, will fully incorporate the offer Obama made to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) during December’s “fiscal cliff” talks — which included $1.8 trillion in deficit reduction through spending cuts and tax increases.

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.

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

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
