Chris Stevens Was Not
Even Remembered

Breitbart´s Big Peace, by Joel B. Pollak

Original Article

Posted By:ketchuplover, 2/13/2013 1:31:49 AM

In his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama failed to mention the late Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the three other Americans who died on Sep. 11, 2012 in the terror attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. He mentioned the victims of the massacre in Newtown, CT in December, and invited the families of victims of other violent gun crimes to watch from the gallery. But the Benghazi victims´ families were not present at all. Instead of offering even the slightest word of tribute for the fallen, for Chris Stevens´s amazing career or for the bravery of the

Too inconvenient. Doesn´t fit his political agenda. People are just tools to Obama. They have no value to him unless he can use them to further his career, amass more power & wealth, or benefit him or his agenda in anyway possible. Lives are expendable to people like Obama.

Chris Stevens & his bodygaurds are not forgotten by me, Mr. Pollak. Thank you for this article. You did Breitbart proud. I can just see him standing outside the well of the Senate with the waiting press corps asking, "What about Ambassador Stevens, Mr. President?"

I´m still talking about Chris Stevens & will all the way to the next election. NEVER forget the dereliction of duty by this administration, including the (former) Scy of State Ms. H. Rodham-Clinton! Never! I.Am.Brietbart.

King Barack´s best line from the SOTU: "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam".

Oops, my mistake. That was his best line at the UN, when he addressed the entire world while peddling the lie that Chris Stevens was murdered by disgruntled movie critics.

At least we can rest assured that at some point in history when the smoke all clears, King Barack will certainly go down as the worst, most disgraceful president - like, ever.

Obama considers Benghazi case closed,he´s not going to bring it up on his own.

The only possible far out way he could have exploited this is say republican budget cuts hurt security there.

The president should have stood in front of those cameras and said. "Benghazi was a screwup from top to bottom and I take full responsibility! America has been protecting her ambassadors for over 200 years and we should be competent at it by now. I have fired everyone in the line of responsibility and replaced them with qualified people charged with making sure this debacle will never happen again."

#16 - he should also fire himself for dereliction of duty. I don´t know if this situation in Libya has ever happened in the history of USA before where brave people were abandoned by their gov´t. Why aren´t the survivors now speaking up? This president continues to reinforce the description that Clint Eastwood gave him - the "empty chair".

His staff should have given a shout out to Amb Chris Steven. They missed out as Stevens mother was a full-blooded Native American.
He has given shout-outs before. When he went down to FT Hood after the "non-terrorist work accident" and gave a shout out to some Indian chief (Native American chief).Why because the 1870s US troops involved in the Indian Wars were from FT Hood. I am sorry I don´t recall the Cavalyr number.But it was another of Obama´s insulting gestures. And this is why the FT Hood troops are denied the designation as a the target terrorist act.
But he missed out on the Indian chris Stevens shout-out.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am saddened by the fate of the families of the Benghazi staff, as well as the Newtown families who lost their kids and coworkers.

However, why do either belong before a joint-session of an entire government, which is being addressed by its chief executive regarding the policies and affairs of a continent-spanning nation? It doesn´t seem rational.

While Constitutionally required, the SOTU Address is a mere formality - a ritualistic, annual calling of account for the executive.

In their usual fashion, our politicians have inverted a noble institution, and fashioned it into the Presidential version of Queen for a Day. They simply trot out the most sympathetic victims of Injustice that will be Saved by their Cause, on national television, and with the consent and endorsement, if not the force of government.

I wish we would go back to the old tradition of the SOTU being delivered in the form of a letter from the White House to a joint-session of the Congress.

While extending the payroll tax cut through the end of last year, members of Congress last fall took what many feel was a long overdue whack at the cost of their retirement plan. They bumped up the rate at which federal employees contribute to their pension plan, saving an estimated $15 billion over the next 11 years. They also made sure that none of the increase applied to themselves. Anyone in service before the law went into effect would pay into the pension plan at the old rate.

Mindful of the repeated rounds of cuts the military has already endured, Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, recently delivered a grim warning: "If you want [the military] to be doing what it´s doing today, then we can´t give you another dollar." His worries reflect reductions that started in 2009 and have reached crippling levels, even in President Obama´s proposals to avert sequestration. I take the general at his word, but I am concerned that the president does not. Sequester hurts national security, not just because 50% of the cuts fall on the military´s 18% share of the overall

Debate over the definition of middle class comes after President Obama´s State of the Union address this week.

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?”
