Ex-Secret Service Agent:
Obama ´Absolutely Not Telling
the Truth´ on White House Tours

Breitbart Big Government, by Matthew Boyle

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 3/13/2013 5:48:56 PM

Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino told Breitbart News that President Barack Obama was lying when he blamed the cancellation of White House tours on his former agency. “The president’s absolutely not telling the truth when he said the Secret Service made that decision to cut [the White House] tours,” Bongino said. “That’s the core of it: he is not telling the truth.” In an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, Obama said the decision, made as a part of sequestration, was not one “that went up to the White House.”

And what point do "we the people" have to arrive, before we will hold our highest elected representative accountable for lying. Over four years of lies!

In my opinion, Obama only knows two things, lie about everything and blame others for anything that goes wrong. He probably lies when he talks to himself. It is so ingrained in his psyche that he can do no other.

Hillary says I did not know of Benghazi.
Holder says I had no knowledge of Fast and Furious.
Obama says I had no knowledge of Fast and Furious. I did not know illegal immigrants were being relesed. I was not aware of security requests from Benghazi. He did not even know who Ben Ghazi was. Obama says the cancellation of WH tours did not reach the president. Obama says he quit smoking. Obama says he is not a dictator. Michelle Obama is meerly a "beard" to cover for Obama´s rampant gayness.

Only one of these statements is true.

If we take the senate in 2014 will we have enough clout to impeach this lying tool?

His transparent lies make him look clueless, out of the loop, and utterly impotent. He didn´t even know the tours were canceled. He wasn´t consulted. He cannot do anything about it without a lot of consulting and researching and meeting with Federal bureaucrats who are the ones who really run the government.

There is a childish quality to his dishonesty as well as a child´s naivete in his apparent belief that his lies are actually fooling someone. He has undoubtedly told whoppers like this all his life and gotten away with them. It remains to be seen whether he will continue to get away with them or whether the American media will wake from its long slumber and come at last to the defense of the republic by exposing this profoundly dishonest man for what he is.

I would believe that the Secret Service advised George Bush to remain in the classroom during the early dark moments of 9/11. They probably thought it wise to fly him all over the country as well, both for which he was mocked relentlessly. But I´m not buying they can´t still protect Obama from tourists because an agent or two was given a day off once a month. Just take away Val Jar´s retinue, problem solved.

I could care less about WH tours and golf outings. It is a waste of time and there is nothing we can do about it. It is theater.
I am concerned that my Representative: Rene Ellmers of NC who was elected because of her anti Obamacare stand just voted to fund Obamacare through 2013, along with a majority of Republicans. This treason and lying has become commonplace by Republicans. All talk and then surrender when the vote comes up. Congratulations for the Senate Republicans who voted against funding Obamacare.
I don´t expect much from Obama, but I do from the House of Representatives. Our freedom is not only being destroyed by Obama, but by the lying scoundrels in the House. The Republican majority house. Obama now is no worse than the Republicans who refuse to stand! And thus are killing America. Not only is Obama not telling the truth, Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy and all are lying as well, except about more weightier issues.

Our side should be relentless in mocking him over his Chicken Little lies and stupid sequester cuts. 2014 depends on it.

I respect all the prior posts and the reasoning behind them. But the ultimate truth is why BO lies, gets away with it and no one holds him accountable is because he is black and no one wants to be labeled a racist.

BO and MO have the ultimate trump card and they will hold that card way beyond their presidency.

Anytime or any one criticizes them the race card is played. The fact that he is incompetent, clueless and not very intelligent is grossly ignored by most people. I harbor that even B. Clinton privately laughs at him, but at the same time applauds him for the most major fraud conducted on the US and the world.

23, Rene Ellmers is not our Rep. (we´re stuck with David Price), but did you notice that during the last term, whenever Boehner was giving a statement, she was right there. Since the election she has not been, in fact have not seen her.

She is a former nurse and should be ashamed to vote for anything having to do with Obamacare. She can be replaced, as far as I´m concerned.

ABC News has uncovered a hard-hitting 2012 Republican National Committee (RNC) television ad attacking President Barack Obama for failed leadership on Benghazi that never ran after the Romney campaign objected over concerns the spot would detract from Romney’s focus on the economy. The ad, which is based on Hillary Clinton’s famous “3 a.m. phone call” from her failed 2008 presidential run, features a ringing phone that goes unanswered as images of the flaming U.S. consulate in Libya appear on the screen. “The Call Came…On September 12, 2012,” reads the screen.

Northwestern University continued to stumble over diversity issues this week as Mexican students voiced disagreement with a campuswide letter that advised students not to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by engaging in racially-offensive activities, such as eating tacos and drinking tequila. The letter was sent to students via e-mail, and published in The Daily Northwestern last week. Leaders of Alianza, a Latino student group, and the Associated Student Government called on students to remember that Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. It is not a day to throw a sombrero-themed party, they said.

From ABC´s Jonathan Karl, back-handed validation of that theory: In late 2012, the Romney campaign -- struggling, as always, to attract women voters -- put the kibosh on a very, very tough RNC ad slamming Clinton on Benghazi by contrasting her response to the real attacks with her (in)famous "3 a.m." ad in 2008 which was meant to demean Barack Obama´s foreign policy chops.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced Thursday that HHS will spend $150 million to teach people how to enroll in the Obamacare exchanges, after a Democratic senator scolded her for running a poor “public information campaign.” “Investing in health centers for outreach and enrollment assistance provides one more way the Obama administration is helping consumers understand their options and enroll in affordable coverage,” Sebelius said Thursday. HHS promised that the health centers would provide “unbiased information to consumers” about various provisions in the law. The health centers funding complements the navigators program, HHS noted.

Kerry said the U.S. has expressed concerns about what such defensive systems in Syria would mean for Israel´s security. He wouldn´t address what the missiles might mean for Syria´s civil war.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

The White House on Wednesday stood by its story that the Obama administration remained unsure exactly who was responsible for the attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi nearly five days after it occurred even though new revelations show Ansar al-Sharia’s direct involvement. Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya and a self-described whistleblower, testified before a Congressional committee Wednesday that the body of Ambassador J. Christpher Stevens was missing for hours during the attack after being dragged out of the diplomatic post in Benghazi.

I said that death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death. And, I guess the reason why I´m saying that, going back to something Mr. Nordstrom said, he wanted,

Northwestern University continued to stumble over diversity issues this week as Mexican students voiced disagreement with a campuswide letter that advised students not to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by engaging in racially-offensive activities, such as eating tacos and drinking tequila. The letter was sent to students via e-mail, and published in The Daily Northwestern last week. Leaders of Alianza, a Latino student group, and the Associated Student Government called on students to remember that Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. It is not a day to throw a sombrero-themed party, they said.

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W. Bush years -- led by that least-credible of champions, the almost-always-wrong Darrell Issa --

British physicist Stephen Hawking has dropped plans to attend a major international conference in Israel in June, citing his belief that he should respect a Palestinian call to boycott contacts with Israeli academics. The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.

Ahead of the Benghazi hearings in which three witnesses are set to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade invited Fox News analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters to discuss the issue. Peters was unflinching in his criticism of the “cowardly” Obama administration — and the “establishment media” that aids it. “Is this a national security coverup?” Kilmeade asking, explaining that the witness testimony is expected to say the administration was deceitful in its handling of the situation. “The administration, facing the election, went into panic mode, wanted to contain it,”

Fans of Glenn Beck are complaining about what I wrote yesterday about his speech at the National Rifle Association convention, where he used a giant image of Michael Bloomberg photoshopped into what appeared to be an image of Hitler with his arm raised in a Nazi salute and wearing an armband. The Beck crowd now tells me that it wasn’t Hitler’s picture into which the New York mayor was transposed but that of Communist leader Vladimir Lenin. They say that means I owe Beck an apology along with the Anti-Defamation League and others who were also outraged by it.

John McCain is going to release a bill that would dismantle cable as it´s currently constructed, Brenden Sasso at The Hill reports. The legislation would force cable companies and satellite TV providers to give consumers an option to pick and choose which channels they get. This is called "à la carte programming," and it´s long been a dream of consumers who only want a handful of channels. McCain tried to introduce similar legislation in 2006 and it went nowhere.

On September 11, 2012, terrorists attacked our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and murdered four Americans, including our ambassador. Eight months later, we have learned some of what happened, but many questions remain.(Snip)What we do know leads to the inescapable impression that before, during, and after the Benghazi attacks, there was confusion and paralysis at the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and the White House.

Rep. Elijah Cummings was the first Democratic member of Congress to speak during Wednesday’s hearing on last year’s attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Cummings did not waste any time before going after Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), for what he believes was the congressman using the Benghazi attack for his own political gain. Cummings began by thanking the witness, former diplomat Gregory Hicks for his service and offering condolences for the loss of his colleagues in the attack. “If I had been in your place,”
