Media Blackout: Why Obama Dodged the Libya Question
Big Journalism ^ | 10/27/12 | v

Posted on 10/27/2012 11:21:03 AM PDT by markomalley

President Obama ran into a buzzsaw yesterday while doing a round-robin of satellite interviews with local news outlets in crucial swing states -- and by "buzzsaw," I mean that rare form of species known as a "real reporter." Kyle Clark of Colorado's KUSA actually asked Obama about the latest revelations out of Libya. According to Fox News, the three requests for help made during the seven-hour attack on our consulate in Benghazi were met with orders from U.S. officials to "stand down." Wisely, Obama dodged this question entirely.

I say "wisely" because, as of right now, outside of a very few exceptions, the CorruptMedia has coordinated with the White House to create a complete blackout around this story. Not even yesterday's denial from the CIA that indirectly implicates the White House garnered any media attention.

In the closing days of a reelection campaign the CorruptMedia is desperate to see Obama win, it's glaringly obvious that nothing this potentially damaging to the president will be allowed to see the light of day -- at least not until after November 6.

In the middle of all this, the guy behind ‘the video’ that had to go through a perp walk sits in jail and will not get a bail hearing until 3 days AFTER the election.

If I am not mistaken, Joint Chefs of Staff Gen. Dempsey is a Muslim sympathizer.. so Islamic ideology goes all the way up in the ranks in our own military.

If you look at the video of that supposed " film maker " take a look at his gait.. the way he walks..... that's the way a street thug walks.
Perhaps ? maybe ? they found some willing street thug to put on those cloths and be the pretend scapegoat in that photo op video ?
Perhaps ? they found some jail bird waiting on their conviction and gave him a lesser charge if he would play along and put those cloths on and act the part ?

Yeah, I know, BIG TIN-FOIL HAT conspiracy stuff...

But what was the real reason they had to hid his identity ?
Maybe ? that guy walking away from the police car was NOT the supposed film maker but a stand in ?

Once again ? check out his gait.. the way he walks... he walks like a street thug.

ooh, I missed that part. I’m not sure thanking the looters for taking them to the hospital is as sick as the default of leaving it to them to do it though.

You're not mistaken. Dempsey is on the record expressing his great concern that the Fort Hood "Workplace Violence" not cause any loss of diversity in the military. His concern about diversity seemed greater than about the unnamed terrorism against our military.

Just hyper conspiracy theories here... TIN-FOIL-HEAVY DUTY HAT stuff.... need to pick up some more Reynolds wrap from the store before the Hurricane hits...

So ?
If Obama didn't make that " gusty call " to stand down then ?
Perhaps ?
The Joint Chief of Staff Gen Dempsey made that call to stand down... in spite of the fact that it goes against protocol. ?

So Obama could have felt he didn't need to get involved because he had a really busy day the next day in Los Vegas and told the team that he was getting some rest and told the joint chief of staff to do what ever they wanted to do.

Seems everyone in this administration is either a Muslim sympathizer or a commie...or both.

America’s government and military is thoroughly infiltrated and compromised. What needs to happen is a massive purge and summary execution of all muslims and the treasonous sympathizers/enablers, probably with numbers in the tens or hundreds of thousands. The toothpaste is out of the tube, and it can’t be “properly fixed”, anymore. We’re past that point. IMO.

As for the Libya-Benghazi screw-up Big Lib Media says: What controversy? ....let’s talk about what Mitt Romney did when he was in high school. That’s far more important than Benghazi. Wait a minute...we thought we heard a code word for racism from some Republican...you know..one them dog whistles....let’s investigate that.

In Southern California we have winds up to 70 miles per hour numerous times per year. They’re called Santa Ana winds. Those winds may hit 80mph on occasion. Gusts may go higher.

Yes, those winds do cause damage. It’s certainly not the end of the world as we know it. They come. They cause damage. They go. Ho hum.

Now winds predicted in this range for the east coast are being used to blow everything else off the nation’s media for the foreseeable future.

And then Obama will send in cash by the boatload to anyone with a hand out, and they’ll hold an election.

Good grief.

Even FoxNews is falling for it.
