President Barack Obama offered on Saturday to provide any assistance the Algerian government needs after a deadly hostage siege at a desert gas plant and said the United States was seeking a "fuller understanding" from Algerian authorities of what took place there. "The thoughts and prayers of the American people are with the families of all those who were killed and injured in the terrorist attack in Algeria," Obama said in his first comments on the hostage crisis.

"...seeks fuller understanding"? To me that means he´s clueless. Apparently, as in everything else in this Administration, everyone else is clueless, too.
They know nothing, see nothing, can´t see anything coming and after it´s over, have no answers for us. For "the most transparent Administration in history", these people are as opaque as sheet metal.
And by the way, where is Michelle? Has anyone noticed she´s pretty much vanished for months? She´ll be visible at the inaugural festivities but what is she doing? Prepping for a run as POTUS, perhaps?

Let´s find out where the weapons used originated. International "gun walking" perhaps? First we provided weapons in Lybia. Then our consul is raided while the ambassador was on a undefined mission related to weapons provided to rebals in Lybia. We do little about it and then the attack in Mali...

You mean to tell me, he was too busy exploiting children on Gun Control, to be doing his "actual" job of protecting the nation and it´s citizens?
Frankly, if the guy can´t multi-task, and know what´s going on with American hostages in Algeria, what is he doing? Being fitted for his royal garb for the "immaculation"?
I am chronically stunned by this ineptness. He can´t "really" be this stupid.

If only Algeria was deemed by the White House as a “Gun-Free” zone just like Sandy Hook, this tragedy might have been avoided. That way the killers would have been subject to cultural peer pressure and refrained from acquiring firearms.
After all, the gun manufacturers and those hate-filled NRA members pulled the trigger! (...or was it the Muslims clinging to their Faith and their Guns.... Mr. President, please help me understand, sir…). Oh, wait, the killers were Muslims, not Christians or Jews!
Boy, this is confusing. I must let the Media and the POTUS tell me what to think. After all, their journalism and their current leadership is what makes this country what it is today!

A "fuller" understanding? It´s been months, you still do not have a fuller understanding of Benghazi. You still do not have a "fuller" understanding of Arab Spring, which you supported. Here is a clue, it is Arab Nightmare, how´s that? Fixed is for ya! You did say that Al Queada(sp) was on the run. Oh, that´s right you were campaigning and needed votes. You, Obama are truly a zero!

Obama was partying while France was begging for assistance.
One of the groups involved in the murderous rampage had been trained by the US. They then turned on us and joined al qaeda.

Was this the same al Queda that Obama told us is on the run now, without their leader whom Obama killed? Were they using the weapons and training he provided them to overthrow Gadhafi? Are they part of Obama’s cherished Arab Spring? Are they part of the same group Obama sent Ambassador Stephens to Benghazi to round up arms and ship to Syria via Turkey? The very same Ambassador he allowed to be killed rather than blow the cover on the operation?
Yes, “a fuller understanding” might be in order here. Yes, indeed. How about a non-telepromted open and frank presser? How about one of those, Mr. President?

I actually laughed when I read this, "0bama seeks fuller understanding of what happened in Algeria siege." How about doing something like lead for a change. 0bama. How about a full investigation, how about sending a message to the world that America is not weak and will not keep continuously letting these things happen with no consequences. Oh, right, 0bama is to full of himself and planning his coronation and all them lavish parties. Yea, he thinks they are more important.

The Mullahs have found a way to make Obama appear to be an aly of France in Mali...
The French are attempting to turn over policing of Mali to the Mali Arabs but they have minimal supplies;
When France directly asked Obama to help Mali, the Mullahs allowed Obama to agree to provide transport only... as long as France pays the US for any help they give Mali.
Just a new Taqiyya Tactic to help Obama hide his alliance to the Mo Bros & Allah.

Conservative congressmen don´t question House Speaker John Boehner´s dedication to the cause. But as chaos overtakes GOP efforts to prevent a Jan. 1 tax hike, members do have doubts about his effectiveness. Here´s the latest turn of events: Over the summer, House Republicans passed a bill extending the Bush-era tax rates, which are set to expire, resulting in higher rates Jan. 1. That was Boehner´s Plan A. Senate Democrats said no, and so Boehner rolled out Plan B: extend current rates for all income below $1 million, and rein in Social Security spending.

Both Speaker John Boehner and media analysts have been spun into a state of confusion by the fiscal cliff issue and President Obama´s reelection. The fiscal cliff exists because the president and the GOP Congress could not decide in 2011 on a permanent general policy toward the budget. And now the president has added another factor: he is determined to usurp the Congressional authority to raise the debt ceiling. If the budget goes over the cliff, two things will happen: tax rates on everyone will rise, and across the board spending cuts will be made.

New York - Federal agents raided an eastern Connecticut gun shop on Thursday, the same gun shop that sold one of the weapons used by the Newtown elementary school shooter. Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, assisted by police, moved in on Riverview Sales at 4 Prospect Hill Road in East Windsor at around 5:15 p.m., reported Len Besthoff of CBS 2 sister station WFSB in Hartford. Adam Lanza shot and killed 20 children and six adults with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle in Newtown last Friday, the second-worst mass shooting in United States history.

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?”

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

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.

A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school.

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.
