Mother of Slain State Dept. Official Tired of Being Lied To and Stonewalled by Obama Administration

The mother of State Department official Sean Smith, who was killed September 11, 2012 in the terrorist attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, appeared on CNN this evening.

COOPER : we're talking tonight with pat smith whose son sean smith was killed in the benghazi attack. today his son asked mitt romney to stop invoking her son's name on the campaign trail. pat smith did not speak about anyone's political agenda tonight. she is, however, bitter ly disappointed with the search for answers.who told you that they would give you information?

SMITH: you will love this. obama told me, hillary promised me. joe biden was a pressure and a real sweetheart. they all told me that -- they promised me. i told them please, tell me what happened. just tell me what happened.

COOPER: so you, are still waiting to find out what happened to your son what they know, or even what they don't know.

SMITH: right. officially yes. i told them don't give me any bologna you can keep your political stuff, just tell me the truth. and i still don't know. in fact, today i heard that he died of smoke inhalation.

SMITH: no, i don't. i look at tv and i see bloody hand prints on walls thinking is that my son's? i don't know. they haven't told me anything. they are still studying it. and the thing that is they are telling me are outright lies. that susan rise, she talked to me personally and she said this is the way it was. it was -- it was because of this film that came out.

COOPER: so she told you personally that she thought it was a result of the video of the protest.

SMITH: oh, absolutely. in fact all of them did. all of them did. leon panetta actually took my face in his hands like this and he said trust me. i will tell you what happened. and so far, he's told me nothing. nothing at all. and i want to know.

COOPER: it is important for you to know all of the details no matter how horrible or tough they are to hear.

SMITH: exactly. i said if it is such a secret thing fine, take me in another room and whisper in my ear and fine we'll go from there. at first i was so proud because they were treating me so nice. i cried on obama's shoulder. and then he kind of looked off into the distance. so, that was worthless to me. i want to know for god's sakes. or for ala's sake or for who ever's sake is there.

"Nothing is so mistaken as the supposition, that a person is to extricate himself from a difficulty, by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimulation, by trimming, by an untruth, by an injustice. This increases the difficulties ten fold; and those who pursue these methods, get themselves so involved at length, that they can turn no way but their infamy becomes more exposed. It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world’s believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions." - See "Letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785," in Thomas Jefferson: Writings (New York: The Library of America, 1984), pp. 814-815.

On another thread today the author of an article there said that such a person must be listened to with a "skeptical ear." Those words prompted my memory of Jefferson's wise advice to the young Peter Carr.

Tens of millions now are listening to the utterings of this President with a "skeptical ear," as they have seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears and felt in their own families the consequences of broken promises, empty words, and a false ideology as old as mankind itself--an ideology which substitutes itself and its wisdom for the Creator and "Sovereign Ruler of the Universe" (Madison) whose Divine Providence was said by America's Founders to be the source of life, liberty, and rights.

The little lies are merely part and parcel, and essential support, to the "big lie" which exists when men of arrogance substitute accumulation of coercive power for themselves for adherence to the principles of liberty underlying America's Constitution and its limitations on them.

Had so-called "progressives" not practiced decades of censorship of those ideas of liberty from textbooks and public discourse by their own dishonest methods, resulting in an electorate which could be fooled by the chicanery of "hope and change," with its accompanying denigration of the Constitution, America might have been spared from the consequences of 2008.

The President is correct: elections have consequences!

Technology makes it possible to rediscover almost every word the Founders wrote and spoke publicly, and measure the words of the redistributionist enslavers against the "self-evident" truth upon which our liberty was obtained.

The work of America's Founders stands upon the firm foundations of the wisdom of the ages. The petty political maneuvering and dissembling of this Administration rests on the more recent theories of Mao, Marx and Lenin, nothing more.

I just watched this on CNN, powerful stuff given that CNN is no doubt the network of choice for soft Democrats and independents. I have had the feeling that CNN has been wavering on Obama since the Libya fiasco and this confirms it. While this cannot help Obama in the least, I am reluctant to say it’s over because of all his dead and out of state voters supplied by voter fraud on a massive scale.

But I would be willing to bet that live Americans who vote only once now prefer Romney 55-45. That probably makes the actual corrupt process a dead heat.

Y’all need to get onto this voter fraud aspect in such a huge way that it cannot escape detection, because it’s the only thing keeping the Obamas in America and not on a plane to visit Hugo Chavez for twenty years.

Dear Mrs. Smith; on behalf of every true American citizen, let me extend my deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your Son. I didn’t personally know him, but from what I’ve read, you have real reason to be proud of him.
As to the behavior of President Obama, Vice-President Biden, Secretary Panetta, Secretary Clinton and Ambassador Rice.....I apologize for them lieing to you and treating you so shamefully. You see, they work for me. They also work for you. They seem to have forgotten that they work for us. I am hoping that after the election this November, they will have plenty of time to sit at their homes and write letters to you begging for your forgiveness. I consider it my loss to have not known your Son. God Bless.
