“...it is clear she is not fit to be commander-in-chief.” Try telling that to her ardent supporters.

In fact that is something that should be done. Every little foible, gaffe, and character flaw needs to be revealed and denounced.

Just watched her on C-SPAN. In addition to asking some of her 25 important Benghazi questions, she also re-reported the time Hillary misstated the facts about an overseas trip during which she had to “dodge bullets and run for the car.” This CBS reporter was on that very overseas trip with her, and had to report no such thing happened. In fact they still had footage of school children handing out flowers on the tarmac. So there were difinitely no bullets flying on that trip.

Yep. All Obama had to do to seal their fate was to do nothing, to just duck out and be "unavailable" until it was all over. He betrayed Americans who were fighting for their lives, and went to bed.

What's the dumbest thing the little twit ever said?

"Even though Hillary 'signed off' on Benghai security,
that does not mean she actually 'knew' about it."

Will say it again or type it again ... There was blood, in the water from nearly day one. Something has changed. Something else has become known. There is something else going on ... don’t ask me what ... I do not know.

Right, to say they are losing credibility is like saying the Sahara is drying up.

No Sh*t. It’s rather frightening to see the lengths they’ll go to keep in power. They’ve given up doing what’s right for this country a long time ago, now its all about retaining power and forcing folks to live as they want them to.

God willing, more and more will start to see these vermin for what they are, handouts or not, and gradually turn on them. I think your ‘wag the dog’ scenario is highly plausible, but I’m also under the thinking that people are just too damn tired of war, etc.

People are now seeing what a moron this man is, those that he has surrounded himself with and his foreign policy debacles. About the only two places he can go is Iran and Syria. While still having to deal with Afghanistan and what is left of Iraq. Not to mention, Egypt, NKorea, Somalia and pretty much the entire continent of Africa, as it becomes more and more radicalized.

So, whatever he does will be a disaster, people will die, he’ll blame on Bush and whoever else and we’re worse off than when we started, again.

Gutless and Selfish....absolutely

But, just as importantly...he has no clue what he’s doing on anything. Especially when it comes to knowing when you use the military and when not.

Clinton didn’t either. Carter...nuff’ said.

The man is so far out of his league, its painful. The problem is, that not only is he out of his league, all of the people around him and most of the Democratic Party have shown that they are nothing but useful idiots. If it weren’t for Republicans restraining them and keeping them inline, they would have self destructed long ago.

Lying to Congress is a crime for starters. It is called perjury.

Ok, if you are under oath. Was Hillary under oath? Did the Kenyan communist perjure himself? No and no.

Obstructruction of justice is a crime.

Only for the little people, like you and me, citizen.

Red, it's 2013 and any criticism of your (half)black president is racism. Holder should be impeached for flooding Mexico with guns. It's not going to happen.

To me, your Kenyan president has committed treason on numerous occasions. That is a high crime, I believe. Good luck on that prosecution.

Red, I'm with you. I'm just saying, it's not a slam dunk.

Specifically, if the USAF can't get a couple of F-16's in Italy over Benghazi for 20 hours, we might as well surrender to the Red Chinese right now.

It seems as if everybody in the executive branch lies for Obama. Nice bunch of honest, forthright people.

There is an angle in all of this it seems to me not many have considered. There are folks who work at jobs interfacing with US on a daily basis for whom we have in the past had some, if not grudging respect, at least tolerance. I think these folks may begin to comprehend they do not want to see the day dawn wherein they will have to deal with us in a way they might the Gangsta Disciples or the Crips. As our gummint becomes more feral many of us may become increasingly intolerant of even the slightest encroachment upon our lives or actions. They like to show the pictures of their SWAT teams and APCs but do they really think they can manage a community where minor flunkies have to be protected by SWAT teams to do building inspections?

Somewhere along the way here somebody needs to wake the hell up or things are gonna get seriously out of hand.

This needs to be kept front-of-mind with the DemocRat's talking points about anything regarding Benghazi:

Issues:

1) the State Department had the necessary budget
2) wanted Benghazi to become a permanent consulate
3) it was 1 of only 15 sites out of 300 globally to be rated at the 2 highest levels, is legally required to conform to upgraded security standards, and the Secretary of State (Clinton) must sign off on operating at substandard levels
4) and MOST DAMNING – Clinton ignored multiple formal requests to bring it up to legal standards after multiple, serious security incidents
5) The false narrative of a protest based on a YouTube video caused irreparable harm to the newly elected Libyan leader and caused a delay of the FBI getting to the scene by 18 days or more

There are only 15 facilities around the world rated "high" or "critical" - out of almost 300. The Benghazi site was rated "critical" (the highest threat) and needed H.R. Clinton's authorization to operate it while at the officially documented, legally deficient state of security , before the attack.

H.R. Clinton told Stevens, presumably ordered by Obama, that this admin's goal was to make Benghazi a permanent consulate. But, career state department employees were threatened, and demoted, for using official channels to make basic requests for security before the mid-term election.
