Where was this backbone before the election?
Coach is Right ^ | November 17th, 2012 | Jim Emerson

Smoke has been used to mask the movement of military units to disorient or drive off attackers. In politics smoke screens are something said or done in order to hide the truth. The Petraeus scandal with the smoke provided by the liberal main stream media has redirected attention away from the murders of Americans in Benghazi.

Scandal

The surprised resignation of CIA director David Petraeus and the sideshow it created was the perfect smoke screen this administration needed. The continuous revelations created the drama that keeps the loyal Obama audience entertained. It has the sex, drama, and the execution of a Hollywood production. The premise of the movie “Wag the Dog” a campaign spin doctor and a Hollywood film producer construct a fake war to divert attention away from a sex scandal. The press willingly plays along with the current scenario the tail is wagging the dog and the foolish masses are none the wiser. This time, a high level official sex-scandal smoke screen is distracting attention away from the murder of an American Ambassador. The only unknown is the name of the Hollywood producer.

Players

Victor Davis Hanson asked the questions on the mind of many conservatives: who are these women and where do they get their power? One question Mr. Hanson may have overlooked is to whom they owe loyalties and who gave the FBI the authority to investigate top government before the election?

Socialists and socialites are running the show. What happens in Benghazi stays in Benghazi. President Plunder and General Disaster.

Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. They all had backbone. But it was more important to get reelected you silly goose than start the investigations 2 weeks after the incident was revealed to be a wheel barrow full of bovine excrement. And the primary enabler? Boo Hoo Boehner who as speaker of the House could have kept the body from leaving town BEFORE all the hoopla with Petraeus started. But not to worry, good ol’ Lawn Chair Speaker is eagerly awaiting a visit from Barrack Claus. He is in the bent over position and has his Vaseline ready to get a Chris Matthews moment from his imperial majesty El Presidente Comrade Caliph Sheik Imam Obama the First (redux).

The wrong thing to do is to make this strictly about Obama. He would like us to do that. He then tells his loyal media and base that the bad Republicans are being mean to him and then the attacks start on the Republicans. Obama is just a grifter. He’s not a long-time Democrat player. The Democrats will throw him overboard in a second if they think he’s taking their party down with him. That’s why the debacle in Benghazi has to be shown as not only a failure on Obama’s part, but also a failure of Democrat policies and ideology. The Republicans won’t have to try to impeach Obama if they do this. The Democrats will force him to resign.

The pols and others thought Romney would win the election and would have save for the extraordinary amount of vote fraud. Taking America away from the People was like taking candy from a baby.

I had hope that justice would prevail for the victims of Benghazi...but between elections, Sandy, Petraeus & gal pals, fiscal cliff and now Israel...I don’t know how much deeper they can bury the truth.
