President Obama delivered a defiant defense Monday of his administration's response to the Benghazi terror attack, calling the revived controversy over the matter a "sideshow."

The president addressed the issue during a press conference alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron, who is visiting Washington. Obama denied any suggestion that there was a cover-up, questioning recent reports that showed a State Department official trying to water down the administration's initial story-line on what happened the night of Sept. 11.

“Sideshow” implies that there’s a main event. What might that be, Obama? You’ve done nothing.

A Nixon third rate burglary moment. Those who do not learn from History are condemned to repeat it.

Four dead Americans including one of his Ambassadors, and Zero calls that a “sideshow”, unimportant, insignificant.

High Crimes.

That IS the problem here, isn’t it Barack?

Anything that interferes with your next tee-time or fundraiser, is a “sideshow”!

Anything that interferes with implementing your destruction of the U.S. Constitution and your Socialist agenda, is a “sideshow”.

The sad fact Barack, is that YOU are the sideshow!

What’s worse, calling the murders a side show or calling them a bump in the road.

Benghazi Coward B. Hussein Obama just now said at his presser that concerning the IRS Punitive Taxing Scandal, and the Benghazi Massacre Cover Up Scandal, that he would do the following:

” - - - fix the system, and make sure that it never happens again. - - - “

Why, this punishment bypass technique could be used for all crimes!

No more jail time for bank robbers, alien illegal invaders from Mexico, gang and terrorist shooters and bombers, violations of the US Constitution by elected Federal politicians, etc, etc!

We could close ALL of our jails if only the criminal would promise never to repeat the same crime!

Just make sure to FIX THE SYSTEM BY PASSING LAWS SO NOBODY GETS PUNISHED, AND THUS THE CRIME WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!

This will truly be a Political Sideshow Cornerstone for The Obamanation!

________

Puzzle for the day: If Zipper Boy Clinton claims that it all depends on what ones definition of “is” is, then can our sorry RINOs prove that Benghazi Massacre Mastermind B. Hussein Obama assertion that there is no “there” there ?

Ronald Ziegler, President Nixon’s press secretary, described the Watergate break-in as a “third-rate burglary”.

Obama describes dead Americans and a terrorist attack, rape, and murder of an American ambassador as a “sideshow”.

He’s right it was a sideshow to the arms smuggling to the Syrian terrorists.

His ego will be his downfall.

A black college professor resists police when they attempt to question him on breaking into a home which turned out to be his own -Obama intervened, called the police stupid and held a "Beer Summit" with the professor and Police Captain.

A black youth was shot by a neighborhood watch volunteer- Obama weighed in immediately saying, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon"

Sandra Fluke testified before congress demanding free birth control pills - Obama called her and made a public statement praising her courage

A pro basketball player announced his homosexuality preference - Obama called him immediately and made a public statement praising his courage

An American ambassador is murdered along with three security specialists trying to defend him during an extended attack lasting more than 11 hours - Obama went to bed and later called the incident a distraction from more pressing issues...

He probably thinks that since no one seems to be able to get any traction regarding his background (threatened or bought off judges and congress), the Republicans are going to try to do him in with Benghazi.

Poor dear.
