Washington Post Turns on Obama

Lingering Questions About Benghazi

Excerpt:

The attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi has become a political football in the presidential campaign, with all the grandstanding and misinformation that entails. But Fox News has raised some questions about the attack that deserve a clearer answer from the Obama administration.

Fox’s Jennifer Griffin reported Friday that CIA officers in Benghazi had been told to “stand down” when they wanted to deploy from their base at the annex to repel the attack on the consulate, about a mile away. Fox also reported that the CIA officers requested military support when the annex came under fire later that night but that their request had been denied.

The Benghazi tragedy was amplified by Charles Woods, the father of slain CIA contractor Tyrone Woods. He told Fox’s Sean Hannity that White House officials who didn’t authorize military strikes to save the embattled CIA annex were “cowards” and “are guilty of murdering my son.”

The Fox “stand down” story prompted a strong rebuttal from the CIA: “We can say with confidence that the agency reacted quickly to aid our colleagues during that terrible evening in Benghazi. Moreover, no one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate.”

An Ode To Obama

War, War, Everywhere.

Author: Unkonwn

War on women,
War on fuel,
War on America,
What are we to do?

Fast and Furious,
And Benghazi too.
Several are dead,
Because of you.

Splitting the country,
In more ways than one.
You won't be happy,
Until you have won.

Wasted tax dollars,
Right down the drain.
And you want more,
You are inflicting such pain.

On November the sixth,
I will cast my vote.
And I hope and pray,
This is far as it goes.

I am a proud veteran,
Who went to Viet Nam.
And I will not bury,
My head in the sand.

To "The Messiah" Obama,
You must go.
For the good of the country,
God please make it so.

CNN, ABC Cover For Obama Gets Blown Away

Here we have Obama bowing to a Saudi Prince:

Here we have Obama bowing to the Prime Minister of Japan:

Here we have Obama bowing again …

And here we have Obama bowing again …

So now the question is: What kind of 1980’s drugs are they taking at ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC?  While the lamestream media runs interference for Obama, we report the TRUTH.

But then again, the media is demonstrating WHY the public no longer trusts them.

Yes Mr. Obama–The American Military Does In Fact Use Horses & Bayonets In Combat

CNN Report From October, 2011 Proves Obama LIED Again!

In an article dated October 6th, 2011 Alex Quade in a report to CNN documented the American Miltary’s use of horses to lead the invasion in Afghanistan.

 

Quoting the article:

Demossville, Kentucky (CNN) -- The U.S. special operations teams that led the American invasion in Afghanistan a decade ago did something that no American military had done since the last century: ride horses into combat.

"It was like out of the Old Testament," says Lt. Col. Max Bowers, retired Green Beret, who commanded the three horseback teams.

"You expected Cecil B. DeMille to be filming and Charlton Heston to walk out."

Bowers spoke while sitting in the rural Kentucky studio of sculptor Douwe Blumberg, along with three of his former "horse soldiers."

They, along with 30 fellow commandos on horseback, are the inspiration for a new monument that Blumberg is creating, dedicated to the entire U.S. special operations community.

The statue above was erected at the site of the World Trade Center on Veterans Day in 2011.

There’s also a best selling book “Horse Soldiers: The Extraordinary Story of a Band of Us Soldiers Who Rode To Victory in Afghanistan.”  A new movie coming out soon by Jerry Bruckheimer is based on the best selling book. 

One last comment: Anyone who’s been in the US Army, or is a US Marine will also testify to the fact that yes, bayonets are used in today’s military.  They’re an important part of hand-to-hand combat training.  A REAL President would’ve known that.

So now, who’s the FOOL Mr. Obama, and who knows their military history? 

Free Clue: Obama is clueless once again.

Memo To Romney Campaign: Don’t Play It Safe

Obama’s Foreign Policy In Two Words: Negligence Kills

During the third and final Presidential debate, Mitt Romney has a once in a lifetime opportunity blow this campaign wide open if he successfully casts the Libyan Embassy attacks in their correct light: Obama’s negligence.

If Romney chooses to play it safe, he will doom his campaign to failure.  Rather, I say Mr. Romney should hold Mr. Obama accountable for his negligence before, during, and after the Libya Embassy attacks.  In an age where accountability seems to be missing, holding the current President accountable for his Administrations continual mis-steps on all things economic – and foreign relations would send a positive signal to Romney’s base, and the critical “swing voters” who are dying to see someone held accountable for the mess this country is in.

Obama’s negligence has resulted in the death of 4 American’s in Libya.  His subsequent dishonesty regarding what happened has the potential to impact the voting decisions of undecided low information voters. There will be millions of people watching on Monday night who have not been following this scandal closely and they want to know who is accountable. 

This is a key moment in the Romney and Obama campaigns.  Obama with Candy Crowley’s aid last week flat-out lied when he claimed he called the Libya Embassy Attacks “an act of terror.”  The record shows Mr. Obama said no such thing.  Now is the time for Mr. Romney to go for the kill, so to speak.  Playing it ‘safe’ would mean he sit’s back and hopes Obama doesn’t get lucky during the debate. 

Hillary Clinton made that mistake in 2008, Mr. Romney.  Are you listening?

Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Iowa are on the verge of swinging to Romney.  In these four states the race is within 1 point of swinging to Romney.  Momentum is on his side, is now the time to play it safe?

The choice Mr. Romney must make is to go aggressively after Obama and hold him accountable for both the lack of security in Benghazi, and the Obama Administration’s repeated failed attempts to paint what happened as anything other than a terrorist attack against America.

Ultimately the question of Libya is going to come up, whether Bob Schieffer asks the question or not.  Here’s how Mr. Romney should handle the situation:

First, Mr. Romney should state that what happened in Benghazi resulted in the deaths of four Americans including Ambassador Chris Stevens, an act that has not occurred since the Carter Administration in 1979.

Second, Mr. Romney should state clearly that the issue continues to receive a lot of attention more than two months later as a direct result of the Obama Administration’s continued efforts to paint the issue as something other than a terrorist attack.  Name Al-Qaeda as the terrorist group responsible.

Third, state clearly that because the Obama Administration cannot seem to get the facts or its story straight, many American’s including many in the media believe that a cover-up has taken place.  Here Mr. Romney has any number of media published reports to back this claim:

CNN reported “On 9/12 and even before then, the CIA and other sources within the State Department made the administration aware that the attack was not related to any demonstration (there was no demonstration) and that attack was a terrorist attack”

On 9/12, President Obama gave a speech where he decried a youtube video, made a comment about 9/11/01, and made a generic comment that “No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation”. Note that, contrary to the President’s contention in the last debate, he did NOT, during this speech specifically label the Benghazi attack a “terror attack”

The American people were led to believe by the President’s spokesperson Jay Carney, Susan Rice (during appearances on six Sunday TV shows the weekend of September 30th), the President himself and other surrogates that the attack resulted from a spontaneous demonstration stemming from a youtube video.  The President himself was asked several times, on television shows such as “The View” and the David Letterman show whether the attack was a terror attack. Obama flatly refused to say that it was.  Obama also blamed the You Tube video multiple times during his address to the United Nations on September 21st, never once saying it was a terrorist attack. 

 

Finally, Mr. Romney should state the number of security breaches that have occurred in the last 12 months in Libya.  I’m not going to suggest he specify the dates, there are too many.  The number is sufficient.  In citing the number of security breaches, Mr. Romney should also remind the President (as he turns, looks, and stares at Obama) that each and every September 11th, Embassies around the world have increased security. 

Then Mr. Romney should ask this question: Why didn’t Benghazi have additional protection on September 11th, the anniversary of the terrorist attacks that brought down the World Trade Center?

The American people are demanding answers to these questions, rightfully so.  Obama’s “lead from behind” foreign policy strategy has proven to be an unmitigated disaster for America. 

Further, the “arab spring” that Mr. Obama has promoted has resulted in Islamic theocracies taking hold in Libya, Egypt and Syria is on the brink.  The muslim brotherhood has firm holds in all three and they are no friends to America. 

Mr. Obama also failed to encourage the peaceful turnover of Iran in the summer of 2009 when hundreds of thousands of students peacefully demonstrated for regime change, only to be shot dead in the streets while Mr. Obama looked the other way.

Will Mr. Romney go after Mr. Obama full-force on these issues? 

If he does, it’ll be game, set and match for Romney.

The American people are demanding accountability for these failures and Mr. Obama needs to be put on the hook for it.

Any way the American people look at Mr. Obama’s answers, he’ll be viewed as being dishonest at best, ignorantly incompetent at worst.  Obama simply cannot simply explain away the multitude of different answers he and members of his Administration have given on Libya.

Can Obama Buy The Election?

Expanding Welfare State Is Vote Buying

Obama's been buying this election for the last four years. He's been increasing welfare, made unemployment a "benefit" for two years, then boosting the number of people on disability by moving people from unemployment to Social Security Disability, drove up the number of people on food stamps by 18 million, and finding every way for the Government to sue Banks in order to buy time for people to stay in homes they never could afford and shouldn't have bought in the first place.

Yes, I call that BUYING an election, and it's a SHAME that this country has gone from one of rugged independence as Ronald Reagan once called it, to a WELFARE NATION in these past four years. It's time to UNDO the "change" that Obama forced upon this country via executive fiat and Democrat party rule.

 ENOUGH! It's time this country got back to living within its means, had a budget (like the rest of us do) and learned to priortize its spending (again, like the rest of us do!)

This nonsense of expanding the Welfare State and creating an Entitlement Society these past four years is NOT what this country was EVER supposed to be. Our founding fathers revolted over far less than this Administration has done to this country and I really wonder if Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Adams, Henry and the rest were alive today if they'd recognize this country. I don't believe they would and I'm sure they'd be damn' upset at what the American people let this country become. I know I sure am.

I don't believe in paying for people who REFUSE to get up off their lazy asses and find a job. These are the people who insist on using the power of the Federal Government to stick their hands in my paycheck and demand I support them. I've no use for these people and I want the wealth re-distribution that's happening in this country to stop feeding them. Let them go hungry, when they get hungry enough they'll get off their lazy asses and get a job. No, I don't feel sorry for these folks at all because I happen to personally know a few people just like this and because of their behavior I refuse to have anything to do with them any longer.

I know PLENTY of people who lost good paying jobs and didn't sit on their asses and stick their hands out waiting for the Government to help them. Rather, they took what they could find, often times taking two or three jobs to keep a roof over their heads and food on the family table. Some of them had to change careers and take lesser paying jobs, and now work 'side jobs' to fill their income gaps. Others went from really good paying jobs to several barely above minimum wage jobs and are really struggling just to meet their basic bills and have given up much. These are the people I pray for. These are the people I really don't mind giving a hand UP until the economy recovers. These people are doing everything in their power to take care of themselves and really don't want to depend on you and I in any way, so they can make ends meet. These are the folks who reluctantly and with much humility may accept some help. These people are GRATEFUL to God for the help they receive. These people will, when they're back on their feet and have the means to do so, REMEMBER what was done for them and do that for someone else. THESE folks I personally know, and I'm honored and privilidged to know folks of such character and integrity.

And then there are the small number of folks who really and truly cannot help themselves. No, they're not the lazy welfare queens who get their free Obamaphones and have baby after baby to increase their monthly welfare checks. These are the folks who've suffered some of life's greatest tragedies and have physical or mental disabilities that prevent them from holding any meaningful employment. They may be our Veterans who've come back from war and lost limbs or suffered tramatic brain injury, or worse have lost their lives and left families with small children behind. To these, this country owes a debt of obligation to make sure these families suffer no more.

Others may have been born with a disability or become disabled and can no longer take care of themselves. This is a very small number of folks and I believe a compassionate society should help take care of them as well. Unfortunately, the term "disabled" has been so grossly expanded by this administration it now includes those who haven't been able to find work for more than two years, and folks - you and I know that ain't right.

I'm not rich, and yet somehow between all state and federal taxes (including Federal Income Tax) I now pay almost 60% of my income in the form of taxes and I'm not making anywhere near $250,000 - in fact I make alot LESS!!! And yet, there are those in this country who believe they are somewhow ENTITLED to more of my paycheck. It makes me SICK when I see these welfare queens and kings driving a better car than I do, and with an Apple iPhone in their hands when my own vehicle is approaching 11 years old and my own personal phone is over 8 years old.

How is this "right" in this country when the MOOCHERS are living better than those of us who get up and go to work every day? Especially when some of us are working two and three jobs to make ends meet?No, it's not right, the entire country is upside down right now. It's time to put it back to the way it SHOULD be.

Now, some are going to read this and get upset and call me a racist or any number of things because I disagree with Obama and use terms like "welfare queen" and "welfare king" do describe those who abuse our social safety nets. That's too bad, more than likely you're part of the problem, or support the policies that are ruining this country. Frankly, I don't care about you.

What I do care about are those who read these words and are finding themselves nodding in agreement. To you I have one thing to say: Get out and vote and make damn' sure you vote for Romney-Ryan. That is step #1 in turning this country around.

Obama’s Web Of Lies About Libya

More Evidence of Deception

Jennifer Rubin in this morning’s Washinton Post asks the same question we asked Wednesday morning, after the second Presidential Debate: Which lie are we to believe, Mr. President?

Is the media finally turning on Obama?  Obama cannot spin his way out of the web of lies he’s tried to weave in the last week and now his own words, and the words of his own Press Spokesman Jay Carney are coming back to haunt him.

Clearly Obama misled at best, lied at worst to the American people with his claim Tuesday evening that he labeled the attacks on the Libyan Embassy an “act of terror” on the evening of Sept. 11th.

If in fact Obama called it “terrorism” that evening, then why was there not any subsequent releases from the White House press office calling it terrorism?

In fact, for twenty days after the attacks, Jay Carney the White House press spokesman refused to call it terrorism:

On September 20 — eight days after Obama claims to have called the Benghazi attack an “act of terror” Jay Carney told reporters during a daily press briefing that the White House had never called it “a terrorist attack.”

From report pool coverage on Air Force One, en route to Miami, 9/20/2012:

Q: Can you — have you called it a terrorist attack before? Have you said that?

MR. CARNEY: I haven’t, but — I mean, people attacked our embassy. It’s an act of terror by definition.

Q: Yes, I just hadn’t heard you —

MR. CARNEY: It doesn’t have to do with what date it occurred.

Q: No, I just hadn’t heard the White House say that this was an act of terrorism or a terrorist attack. And I just —

MR. CARNEY: I don’t think the fact that we hadn’t is not — as our NCTC Director testified yesterday, a number of different elements appear to have been involved in the attack, including individuals connected to militant groups that are prevalent in eastern Libya, particularly in the Benghazi area. We are looking at indications that individuals involved in the attack may have had connections to al Qaeda or al Qaeda’s affiliates, in particular al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

Here we have Jay Carney confirming Mitt Romney’s position during the debate on Tuesday evening that the White House did not call the Benghazi attack an act of terrorism.  In fact, Carney said the “You Tube video” was the cause of the “protests” in Libya the day before.

So now the question we asked the other day: Which lie are we to believe, Mr. Obama?  The lie in which you claimed you labeled it an “act of terror” or the lie in which you told for the following two weeks that it was a “spontaneous reaction” by muslims protesting an anti-muslim video?

Or perhaps Mr. Obama, you never labeled it an “act of terror” the evening of September 12th and lied directly to voters Tuesday night during the debates.

None of these positions is a good place for Obama to be, and he’s boxed himself in just days before the final Presidential debate – on Foreign Affairs no less.

But wait, there’s yet another problem with Obama’s answer from Tuesday night:  (From the debate transcript)

“So as soon as we found out that the Benghazi Consulate was being overrun, I was on the phone with my national security team, and I gave them three instructions. Number one, beef up our security and — and — and procedures not just in Libya but every embassy and consulate in the region. Number two, investigate exactly what happened, regardless of where the facts lead us, to make sure that folks are held accountable and it doesn’t happen again. And number three, we are going to find out who did this, and we are going to hunt them down, because one of the things that I’ve said throughout my presidency is when folks mess with Americans, we go after them”

On Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace (Oct. 14th) just two days prior to the debate David Axelrod was directly asked if there was an actual meeting of the National Security Council.  Axelrod refused repeatedly to answer the question. 

Given Barack Hussein Obama was on Air Force One early that morning flying to Las Vegas for a fundraiser it’s highly unlikely such a meeting ever occurred. Surely if there was, Axelrod would’ve answered “yes” to Chris Wallace’s repeated questions.

Further, if actually did as he said in his statement during the debate (quoted above) then why was the Embassy left un-secured for more than a week afterwards, during which CNN was able to enter the embassy and steal Ambassador Chris Steven’s diary?

Did Obama make himself “perfectly clear” when he gave his instructions – or did he in fact never give those instructions at all?

Folks, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS LYING TO YOU.  Further, he’s the most inept, incompetent, WEAK President this country has ever had, period.

The more we learn about the Libyan Embassy tragedy in which United States Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other American’s lost their lives, the more incompetent and downright dishonest we discover Obama really is.

And finally, this Reuters report suggests the administration was entirely unprepared for the 9-11 attacks.:

In the months before the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya, U.S. and allied intelligence agencies warned the White House and State Department repeatedly that the region was becoming an increasingly dangerous vortex for jihadist groups loosely linked or sympathetic to al Qaeda, according to U.S. officials.

Despite those warnings, and bold public displays by Islamist militants around Benghazi, embassies in the region were advised to project a sense of calm and normalcy in the run-up to the anniversary of the September 11 attacks in the United States.

So the Obama Administration was caught completely unprepared, and when the TERRORIST ATTACKS occurred it went into damage control mode.  There was NO EFFORT to find the truth, rather all efforts have been to COVER UP the truth.

This folks, is the full exposure of the web of LIES the Obama Administration has woven on the Libyan Embassy tragedy, and if one cares to look hard enough, they’ll find a similar WEB OF LIES around everything Obama touches.

I cannot wait until I wake up the morning of November 7th with the knowledge that Obama’s days in office are dramatically reduced when I hear the words “President Elect Romney.”

Twitter Explodes With Romney Assassination Threats

Proof Romney Won The Debate

As if the threats against Mitt Romney’s life didn’t flow from Twitter after the last Presidential debate, last night Twitter literally exploded with a fountain of hate towards the Republican Presidential Candidate – and now front-runner in the Presidential race.

Now, if these were Conservatives making threats against Obama, tweets such as those below would be front page news and Obama’s security would be increased ten-fold.

If you don’t believe that, just look at the over-reaction by the Obama White House and Secret Service after some folks hung empty chairs from tree’s to voice support for Clint Eastwood’s RNC speech.

The media’s silence at these vicious attacks against Romney via Twitter I guess should be expected.  After all, these were the same folks that panned the peaceful Tea Party rally’s calling them racist while backing the Occupy Wall Street movement which was fraught with crime (murder, rape, robberies – all reported.)

Here’s an example of what passes for “tweets” last night during and after the Presidential debate.  Mind you, these were not ‘fake’ accounts or recently established accounts, each one listed below has thousands and tens of thousand of ‘tweets’ attributed to their Twitter nic’s.

after the debate, and more continued to flood in this morning, including the following;

Notice folks, that the pictures of these “tweeters” seem to represent both black and white American’s, so this issue appears to not have race attached, I’m willing to bet though that these are the 47% stead-fast Obama supporters.

It’s gonna be a bitch come November 7th when these idiots wake up and have to find jobs.

Bring it.
