The revelation of Obama Administration memos proving that it knowingly perpetrated a fraudulent cover story blaming a little watched video for the attack on the US Benghazi Consulate is, according to former National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor, “old news unworthy of further concern.”
“Look Dude,” Vietor told Fox News' Bret Baier, “all that happened like two years ago. There's nothing anybody can do about it now. I think former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton established that it doesn't make any difference at this point.”
Vietor also defended the State Department's and White House's pivot toward protecting the Administration from damaging political fall out. “While it was sad that four Americans died in Benghazi, the greater threat to the Administration from the domestic insurgency led by Mitt Romney had to be dealt with in a decisive manner,” Vietor argued. “The four casualties we suffered in Benghazi was a minor setback. A loss to Romney would've had far graver impacts for the President and his program. Even in hindsight, I think we made the right choice.”
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) echoed Vietor's perspective and called continued GOP interest in the topic “a baldfaced attempt to divert people's attention from the headway this Administration is making. They don't want voters to know that over 8 million have signed up for the Affordable Care Act's new health insurance. They don't want voters to know that unemployment has dropped to its lowest level since the President took office. It's the same old 'dirty politics' we have come to expect from Republicans.”
Pelosi predicted that “this scheme won't work because I believe that the Statute of Limitations for prosecuting anyone involved in anything that happened in Benghazi has expired. And even if it hasn't President Obama can simply pardon anyone the GOP witch hunters try to get their claws into. It's time to move on.”

Proving that Democrats are a**holes ... no offence to a**holes worldwide.
Latest poll - 60% of Americans want to know more about Benghazi.
If a scandal occurs in D.C., and the propaganda corps ignores it, did it really happen?
So is George Bush. I didn’t know that. I keep hearing his name as a repetitive thing that supposedly made things so bad for Dear Leader. But that was 6 or more years ago, which is less, in Democrat math, than 2 years ago. So I can well understand their confusion.
“If a scandal occurs in D.C., and the propaganda corps ignores it, did it really happen?”
I will do you one better. you remember when Juanita Broderick filed rape charges against bill Clinton. on the local news station in boston, wcvb, the way they chose to “ignore” it was to run it as the lead story on the second half hour. so, for joe sixpack, he’s thinking, I just watched 30 minutes of auto accidents and house fires, apparently this must be some frivolous charge by a hussy, else, why wouldn’t they run it as the lead story?
don’t forget, these people are at least twice as smart as the pulic school grads they have a hand in dumbing down.
Watch as MORE Scandals come out—one thing leads to another. The public will be entranced at how corrupt Obama has been and is. This will be fun—the deconstructing of Obama—From Hero to Zero.
The comments by the left wing protectors and leaders is so calloused and unfeeling its almost unbelievable.
These folks have a heart of stone and a mind that is calloused. They only respond to threats to their power.
They do not care about anything else but themselves and the party line. They have sold their souls for power and wealth. Temporary they are on top of the world, but they will stand before God and given an account of their lives. What will they say?
From your keyboard to G_d’s monitor.
That and Obamacare. Both successes. Debate over,
Nothing to see here. Move on.
I know this is semi-satire...but I can’t find it. I must be getting a little slow. :)
Shame IMO on the American voters for allowing various losers into high office.
That is true.
Insert Watergate instead of Benghazi.
Another example of our illustrious media not doing the right thing.
Aww c’mon. You know this is a real Asspress story, or will be.
