You actually believe that Obama was re-elected?(p) I think they stole that election.

“...where are the survivors of the Benghazi attack, hmmmmm?????”

At first, I wondered the same thing. Then I realized they’ve been threatened by the Obama/Chicago thug machine if they don’t STFU. They’re stuck between a rock and a dirt nap.

Thank you for posting this. And we are going to endure two more years of this inept nutty college-type professors’ style thinking? Was this their plan all along? I’m not sure success was ever the goal.

[Fightin Whitey]

Agree.

Americans in my lifetime have voted for the presidential candidate they feel most comfortable with (with the possible exception of Nixon), someone they would enjoy having a beer with or inviting to Sunday dinner.

Hillary seems as though she would fall asleep on the bar (or in the ladies’ room) or steal the family silver when she left the house.

And now he’s living with the consequences of having to pursue a strategic assumption he knows is wrong but does not dare denounce.

This sentence contains the essence of liberalism. Even when confronted with truth and reality, liberals are in denial.

[Disambiguator]

Hillary’s fresh face.

Unintentional humor?

Astounding analogy!

i.e., Our MSM has the same effect on information as Tojo and Hirohito had on the news in wartime Japan.

Having worked with several Japanese organizations, I must tell thee, Pel, that the effect of Japan's WWII info-lock has had generational effect. That is, in the mind of most under-70 Japanese alive today, the Japanese atrocities of WWII and the crushing defeat of the Japanese Empire might as well have never taken place.

Mum was the word on Midway in Japan then ... and it still is today. If you're looking for a parallel, try asking the "man-in-the-street," or the tattooed fat lady in the Wal-Mart anything about Bill Clinton ... or Benghazi.

If anyone thinks that any of this will become public read an article on the American Spectator,Trey Gowdy and the real lesson of Watergate,I would like to know how many people knew any of that information

"First and foremost, everyone who voted for Obama did so for financial gain (whether freebies, gubmint workfare, whatever).

“Never underestimate the stupidity of this idiocracy.”

Don’t overlook the greed and laziness; while many whites were duped into voting for Obama out of stupidity, many others (and many non-whites) voted for him to continue the shiftless way of life they’d practiced for half a century."

They are probably just enjoying a friendly game of BBALL, somewhere pleasant.

[GBA]

They are “sequestered” by the regime.

Yep, saved from one enemy, silenced by another.

The reputation of The One outweighs the needs of the many.

[UCANSEE2]

I think they are the same folks that Chairman Trey Gowdy has said the Select Committee will bring forward to talk.

Sure.... right after a few more 'treatments'.

Suppose Benghazi was a catastrophic failure, made all the more dangerous by the possibility that Russia had a hand in it.

Russia supplied the intelligence, but the other missing actor was Iran. There was a secret CIA prison at Benghazi that held Iranian Revolutionary Guard personnel as prisoners. They had been in Libya disguised as Red Crescent workers. The whole Benghazi mess was a jailbreak on top of everything else.

Russia and Iran together scotched Obama's plan to work the jihadis from the inside. It wasn't a good plan to begin with, it was poorly thought out, but its explosion on the eve of the 2012 election prompted a full court press cover up by the administration and its Mainstream Media enablers. This explains Eleanor Clift's statement yesterday and the utter panic developing among Democratic congresscritters now that Gowdy is in charge.

The bottom line is not so much that Obama's actions constitute treason -- they probably don't according to the strict standards of the Constitution -- but that a poorly thought out foreign policy initiative in time of war crashed and burned in a humiliating manner. Had it been laid out truthfully to the voters, Obama would not have won a second term, and Hillary Clinton would have no hope of succeeding him. It's the Hillary problem that has the Democrats circling the wagons today.

Unfortunately, I have no confidence that O will leave office....kind of like his good buddy Hugo

This thread needs to be kept alive so that the day time folks can see it. It’s a must read.

BTTT as requested.

Our faux-POTUS would not be the first half-caste to have megalomaniac dreams of glory by uniting all parts of his imagined "roots," or seeking "understanding," above all for himself ... always divided: White/Black, East/West, A Marxist/Man of Wealth, Atheist/Christian/Animist/Muslim, Homo/Hetero, Kenyan/British/American/World Citizen, this is a truly dangerous phantom in search of a person. Naïve and ignorant beyond belief, he always believes the last man Valerie Jarrett allows into his office to tell him who and what he is and what he is to say ... or do on that day.

I have feared from his first day in the office that his "Presidency" will end in military catastrophe, along with future economic collapse.

So your theory is that a deal was made that would allow the US to claim killing Bin Laden, while he was kept alive and secretly hidden somewhere. The main problem with that theory is that the attack by Al Qeada in Benghazi, was Al Qeada saying to the US, screw your deal. So if the deal was screwed and Bin Laden was still alive, we would see live videos of him right now. Assuming of course that he was hidden but somewhat free. If he was in the custody of the US, Al Qeada would not have broken the deal because the US could then kill Osama.
