When Fox News host Bill O’Reilly interviewed President Obama before the Super Bowl, we knew sparks might fly. And the segment on Benghazi is provoking a lot of indignation. First, the relevant bit of the conversation as transcribed by Fox News:
OBAMA: -- we don't know yet who's doing it. Understand, by definition, Bill, when somebody is attacking our compound...
O'REILLY: Yes?
OBAMA: -- that's an act of terror, which is how I characterized it the day after it happened. So the -- so the question ends up being who, in fact, was attacking us?
O'REILLY: But it's more than that...
OBAMA: And that...
O'REILLY: -- though...
OBAMA: -- well, we...
O'REILLY: -- because of Susan Rice.
OBAMA: No, it...
O'REILLY: It's more than that because if Susan Rice goes out and tells the world that it was a spontaneous demonstration...
A shouting match then ensued and the president basically concluded that because of people like Bill O’Reilly -- and networks like Fox News -- Americans continue to be totally misinformed about what he actually said that day. But the key bit here is important: the president (again) explicitly declared that on 9/12/2012 -- the day after the U.S. consulate was overrun by terrorists and four Americans were killed -- he publicly and for the record stated that the assault on the U.S. compound was a “terrorist attack.” The fact checkers disagree. They gave the claim "Four Pinocchios."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, responding to this assertion on Monday, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) took issue with the president’s timeline of events, telling a local radio station he was perpetuating an “outrageous lie” (via The Hill):
“It’s just an outrageous lie. It’s kind of hard to call it anything else. It’s kind of like ObamaCare and the things he said in the beginning and now he’s denying it,” Inhofe said during a radio interview on 1170 KFAQ’s The Pat Campbell Show, which based in Tulsa, Okla.
The 2012 attack on an American compound in Benghazi was staged on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
“I will say this till my dying day, I know people don’t realize it now, that’s going to go down in history as the greatest cover-up. And I’m talking about the Pentagon Papers, Iran-Contra, Watergate and the rest of them,” Inhofe said.
The president obviously had reason not to declare the raid an act of terrorism. He was running for re-election, and it directly contradicted a central theme of his campaign -- namely, that al-Qaida was on the run. Plus, in doing so, this would have only raised more questions about his leadership qualities and where he was that night. (We still don’t know). To this day, many questions remain unanswered.
And one wonders when, if ever, they will be.
I would say Barry is the bottom.
Not one smidgen of corruption in the IRS targeting scam. I guess that’s why the IRS agent took the 5th. during the hearings. THE FOREIGNER has been nothing but a fraud since he was ineligible and fraudulently pushed through by the anti american democrats.
DITTO that
and another cover up NO ONE is talking about-
who tried to crash the US financial system on September 18, 2008...and why?
He has given plenty of ammunition to do this on a different count each week. Do so and force the Senate to take up the impeachment articles and vote on them.
This President has revealed himself to be a phony, fraud, and a flim-flam man with each passing day as heu pathetically tries to avoid the accountability and consequences of his own actions. He has betrayed America's trust, he has lied, misled, falsely accused, been involved with programs that have caused the death and injury of many Americans, and tried in vain to explain all of this as some kind of "phony," attack, witch hunt, or vendetta against him.
Well, in reality the only vendetta is his own vendetta against America and its traditional values and its very Constitution, since the day he set foot in the White House and long before.
President Obama, (aka Barry Soetoro), it is you, who are the phony here, you and those abetting and supporting the atrocious actions by you and your sick administration.
LATINO & BLACK AMERICANS: FOR GOD'S SAKE WAKE UP!
Benghazi is up there. But I put it at the sixth greatest cover-up
1. Obama’s Background
2. Clinton/China Campaign Donations
3. Able Danger
4. Flight 800
5. Fast and Furious
6. Benghazi
7. Watergate
If O’Really thinks he made points for himself with this interview he is mistaken IMHO. The Obama ‘base’ was reenergised when they saw their messiah dodge, duck, obfuscate and outright lie. It gave him greater stature. O’really, not so much.
So, when will the SAM’s in Libya, which were smuggled to Syria during the Benghazi debacle, show up in America?
No, that's an act of war.
And the Commander in Chief was AWOL.

Able Danger? Help us out.
Reagan’s payback after Lockerbie was airstrikes against Khaddafj - he even hit Bengazi. This scared Khadaffi, who went on a decades-long hobby of buying MANPADS.
Right before Khadaffi’s fall there were 21,000 of them in Libya, and during and after his fall they laid around in Khaddafi’s arsenals almost TOTALLY UNGUARDED.
FUNDING by Congress is where CIA ops leaks come from, so why not, the CIA wondered, quietly take Khaddafi’s missiles for FREE and knock off Assad..?
THAT is what the Annex 30 were doing, and Barry/ValJar assumed they’d all die that night.
Ok, what was covered up?
What does congress know they won’t leak?
Able Danger:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Able_Danger
Data mining operation that had identified the NYC cell of 9/11 attackers in 2000. Because of information walls that had been put in place by the Clinton administration, the Able Danger operation was unable to work with the FBI. In subsequent hearings, five key witnesses were ordered not to testify by the Pentagon. Able Danger data was later destroyed.
Why did Hillary and Obama use American taxpayer provided funds, personnel, equipment and facilities to overthrow the government of Libya?
Why did Hillary and Obama use American taxpayer provided funds to make and air a commercial apologizing for that phony video after they knew it was a phony video? Using taxpayer money for campaign purposes is against the law.
Read the story. Obama wants to argue about who killed the Americans in Benghazi. Why? Because Hillary and Obama aided and abetted the enemies of the United States and those enemies killed four Americans in Benghazi. There is a case for treason and treason can get your neck stretched. Hillary and Obama are lying and fighting to save their treasonous skins.

I think he was incapacitated. Likely drunk or stoned off his rear.
That's it in a nutshell. It's classified and anyone from congress who announces it can be immediately held for violating the law. It can't be tweeted, emailed, cell phoned, land-lined, or conversed in any tangible way because the NSA has their hounds on the trail of anyone who leaks anything. Ala' James Rosen.
I am beginning to wonder if Billy Jeff and Hilly had a hand in the gunrunning in Benghazi. Lord knows they has Arkansas connections.
Fast and Furious has got to be a contender. The IRS scandal is catching up too. But how can anything top the coverup of 0solotoero’s identity and origin?
