Obama criticizes Republicans for focusing on Benghazi, Obamacare

WASHINGTON, May 19 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama chastised his Republican opponents on Monday for focusing criticism on the events surrounding the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, and on his signature healthcare law.

"The debate we're having now is about what, Benghazi? Obamacare? And it becomes this endless loop. It's not serious. It's not speaking to the real concerns that people have," Obama said.

He was speaking to more than 60 people at a fundraising dinner for Democratic candidates for the House of Representatives.

The event took place at a physician's home in the Washington suburb of Potomac, Maryland, as Obama seeks to persuade Democrats to organize for a voter turnout effort to prevent Republicans from ousting Democrats from control of the Senate and from building on their majority in the House.

Republicans in the House have begun a new investigation of the deaths of the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and three other Americans during a militant attack on Sept. 11, 2012.

Stall, stall, obfuscate, deny, delay

Then claim “what, we are still talking about this?”

Awesome.

ObamaCare is not the correct term...

As in the case of the VA, it is providing Obama Death Care

So we really need to start using the term:

ObamaDeathCare

“anyone who can lie at this depth without blinking...”

I saw the replay of the “not a smidgeon of evidence for an IRS scandal” line during his interview with BOR back in February. He said that with a strong look of disdain and seriousness. A professional liar.

oh, he does read the newspapers, as that is the ONLY way he finds out about these “phony scandals”.

Obama is the epitome of being completely out of touch with the people.

Speaking at a fundraising dinner — obviously this will not be about what concerns the American people.

“Hillary’s What difference does it make?... perfectly summarize not only the left’s feelings toward you, and truth, and Justice…”
_______________________________________________________

Has anyone yet pointed out the real meaning in the former secretary’s of state infamous phrase, “What difference does it make?”?

It is actually a bold observation that she announces of the entire collapse of the U.S.A. which when you consider appealing to any traditionally effective justice system herein it is “no-go”.

That is to say, as Ann Barnhardt often observes, the U.S.A. is no more. (So at this point “What difference does it make?”)

What the former secretary of state is telling us is ironically true, everyone! With the U.S.A. dead, “What difference does it make?”

(The only way to achieve true justice and equity will be found outside of the present thoroughly corrupt “system”.)

Only a system thoroughly founded on and adhering in every respect to the virtues of Faith hope and charity can make a “difference” in this case.

Go back and re-watch the U-TUBE video or at least re-read some of the transcript of her testimony with that in mind. It takes on a whole new level of meaning.

So Obama is condemning the Opposition Party for being in opposition.

It's a reference to a dog, excitedly barking at someone, and then getting distracted by a quick movement which is in fact a small… SQUIRREL!
(i.e. also an allegory to the news-cycle and the distractability of the general people.)

Obama wishes Fox and Conservative media would drop Benghazi and Obsma care etc, and focus only on he VA scandal

He does not really care about veterans anyway, but I believe he would sooner have he VA scandal the only one o worry about

CNN AND NBC etc have taken his lead

"The debate we're having now is about what, Benghazi?"

You lied right to the families of the victims over their flag-draped coffins, YOU SCUMBAG! The American people deserve answers!

What angers me more about this idiot, is the idiots that voted him in to power.
