US denied requests for more security
in Benghazi
“In
addition, multiple U.S. federal government officials have confirmed to the
Committee that, prior to the September 11 attack, the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security
in Benghazi. The mission in Libya, however, was denied these resources by officials in Washington.”
This could be a very telling story for
the Obama Administration in what appears to be a dereliction of duty.
John Stewart looks at Benghazi
And he takes apart the Administration’s story. And he asks how much it sucks to be the
President’s press secretary.
Darrell Issa investigates Benghazi
Ever since
the terrorist attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, the Obama administration has been stalling,
obfuscating and outright lying in order to avoid taking responsibility for
the deaths of four Americans, including our ambassador. To a considerable
degree, they have gotten away with that strategy. But Darrell Issa, Chairman of
the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has stepped into the
breach. Issa’s committee has been
approached by whistle-blowers within the State Department, and the stories
they tell about the department’s malfeasance are shocking.
Krauthammer on Benghazi
The
mystery here is why would you go out and have our ambassador to the U.N. on
five channels create a fairytale about
all of this being an outgrowth of demonstration over a video? The answer is you want to cover up — the answer is
you want to cover up the security lapses, intelligence lapses, ignoring of the
threat. And the fact that one way to put it, if you want to use the phrase of
Joe Biden, “Bin Laden dead, al-Qaeda
alive.”
Obama
supporters trust Romney (Bain Capital) with their money
Some of Bain’s investors include among others, the Ohio Teachers Retirement Fund, Columbia and Harvard Universities, and
the Oprah Winfrey and Ford Foundations. If Romney was such a
capitalistic destroyer why would these “good” organizations entrust their money
to him?
How bad is it under Obama? Really Bad
Economically Obama’s time in office
has been a complete disaster. He says he needs four more years to finish
the job. And finish may be exactly what
he is talking about.
How bad is the deficit under
Obama? Really Bad
The
fiscal 2012 increase of $1,275,901,078,828.74
exceeded the fiscal 2011 increase $1,228,717,297,665.36 by $47,183,781,163.38
Excuse me, math is not one of my
strong subjects but shouldn't the budget
deficit be, like, you know, going down every year instead of going up?
Obama’s Dog Siren
Mr. Bring-us-together,
never really intended on doing that which is clear from his tone in this
speech.
The most transparent Administration
ever is hiding things
At the EPA is appears high level
executives have private email accounts they use to shield themselves from FOIA
requests.
Is it time to end Affirmative
Action?
We
refer to this problem as "mismatch,"a word that largely explains why, even though blacks are more likely to enter
college than are whites with similar backgrounds, they will usually get much lower grades, rank toward the bottom
of the class, and far more often drop out. Because of mismatch, racial
preference policies often stigmatize minorities, reinforce pernicious
stereotypes, and undermine the self-confidence of beneficiaries, rather than
creating the diverse racial utopias so often advertised in college campus
brochures.
Affirmative action in elite schools does
more harm than good to the beneficiaries.
It may be similar to taking a novice skier up the mountain figuring they
can go down the green slopes rather than teaching them the basics on the bunny
hill.
What the election comes down to
Obama’s campaign still harps on what
a mess he inherited. Bill Clinton told us all that no president,
not even he could do better than Obama has done. Nonsense.
While it’s true Obama didn’t cause
the crisis, he hasn’t fixed it either.
It would be like a fire department that gets to the fires but always
seem to have the building burn to the ground justify this by saying, they didn’t start the fire. We know that.
But they didn’t save the home
either which is their job.
How to tell the truth while you are
lying
The report cites a Senate Republican who “admits” that
the obstruction “constitutes a ‘new standard’ for President Obama’s nominees.”
The
Republican, Mike Lee of Utah,
actually made his statement about Obama’s nominees in response to Obama’s
recess appointments. Lee said:
Prior to President Obama’s
unconstitutional “recess” appointments, I gave his judicial nominees great
deference. Both in the Judiciary Committee and on the Senate floor, I have
voted in favor of the vast majority of the president’s nominees, including many
with whom I fundamentally disagree. But I
can do so no more. There is and must be a new standard for the president’s
judicial nominations. A standard under which a problematic and controversial
nominee such as Mr. Hurwitz cannot receive my support.
This is part of an article titled “Grasping for Accomplishments.” It is worth it to read it.
Biden is right about the Middle
Class
Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn
upon occasion. Here are three charts that show how badly the
middle class has been hurt in the age of Obama.
Should you believe Obama’s campaign
promises?
To answer this you need only look at his record from 2008. And the answer is only believe him if you are
a fool.
Obama plans to cut Medicare, but
campaigns saying he won’t
WOODWARD: Yeah,
and, I mean, it's not just his campaign team. It's the president himself. He
says, “We're going to reform and
strengthen Medicare for the long haul the right way by reducing the cost of
health care - everyone would agree with that - not by shifting it onto seniors.” Well, in his own documents, he
says, “We have to do this.” When I talked to him, he realized and said very
openly that it's irresponsible to not address this.
SCARBOROUGH:
Let's play a clip that you were alluding to. Go ahead and roll it.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, JULY 21,
2011: All the Democrats felt
that for Democrats to join with Republicans in anything that could be painted
as a Medicare cut when there was a huge difference between Democratic and
Republican positions on Medicare generally was bad politics. It's an untenable position to say we're not
going to do anything on Medicare and Medicaid when that's one of the biggest
drivers of our budget deficit.
