Education department?

Re. 44811 -

The 0bama campaign didn't buy the spot because it was satire. More like dancing to 0bama's fiddle.



Smugger and sniffier than his constituency.

44820. concerned - 10/30/2012 5:38:17 AM

How about 0bama leaving the Libyan ambassador to die? That's got to fire up the base.

44821. arkymalarky - 10/30/2012 4:02:26 PM

That's ignorant and offensive.

44822. concerned - 10/30/2012 8:33:02 PM

I'm definitely offended by it.

The fact is, 0bama refused to order any reinforcements in whatsoever which he could easily have done to save these American lives in Benghazi. He had plenty of prior notification and plenty of time, with the Benghazi embassy requesting military help during the opening minutes of the attack and 0bama could have ordered reinforcements from Italy to back up the embassy within two hours but declined.

Here's what the father of Ty Woods, one of the embassy personnel killed, had to say about the situation:

Within minutes of the first bullet being fired the White House knew these heroes would be slaughtered if immediate air support was denied. In less than an hour, the perimeters could have been secured and American lives could have been saved. After seven hours fighting numerically superior forces, my son’s life was sacrificed because of the White House’s decision.”

Try telling Charles Woods that his feelings about his son and how he was needlessly sacrificed are 'ignorant and offensive', arky.

Instead, what the WH did was try, for weeks, to blame a video which had nothing to do with the planning of this 9/11 attack.

To sum up, 0bama personally, and his administration in general, are guilty of some of the most heinous politically motivated actions I have ever heard of in Benghazi. Add to this the human death toll in the hundreds, if not thousands, of the politically motivated Fast and Furious program, and the 0bama Administration has shown that they are not fit for office.

44824. concerned - 10/30/2012 8:48:32 PM

Nobody died during Watergate and Nixon resigned over it. Benghazi and Fast and Furious by themselves each are far worse than Watergate.

44825. concerned - 10/30/2012 8:54:46 PM

How many Benghazi attackers were there?

From Wikipedia:

Between 125 and 150 gunmen are reported to have participated in the assault.[24][25] Weapons they used during the attack included rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades, AK-47 and FN F2000 NATO assault rifles, diesel canisters, mortars, and heavy machine guns and artillery mounted on gun trucks.

And 0bama couldn't be bothered to call in reinforcements to defend barely a dozen embassy personnel from all these heavily armed attackers, even though he had ample opportunity and notification.

0bama's actions here were, as well as during the aftermath, infamous and shameful and he richly deserves to be turned out of office for this reason alone.

Actually Keith Olbermann should be rooting for Romney to win. There's more opportunities for insane lie spewing frothers and droolers on networks like MSNBC when a Republican is in office.

44827. concerned - 10/30/2012 9:24:22 PM

Imagine if Benghazi had happened under a Republican administration. There would be saturation news coverage by the MSM. The parents and relatives of all the slain personnel would be extensively interviewed in virtually every news-related TV show out there. There would be exposes and investigative shows as to how this could have been prevented. The WH would have pilloried and ridiculed if it had tried pulling off a ruse regarding a youtube video like 0bama did. There would be demonstrations to free the film maker and calls for congressional investigations and impeachment.

But there's none of that because: 1) 0bama is a Democrat and 2) his melanin content.

This blatant media bias and dereliction of duty constitute more reasons to turn 0bama out of office.

44828. concerned - 10/30/2012 9:26:46 PM

The sad fact is that the MSM seems constitutionally incapable of doing its job of honest news coverage, oversight and criticism when any Democrat presidential administration is in power.

The WH would have BEEN pilloried and ridiculed if it had tried pulling off a ruse regarding a youtube video like 0bama did.

You DO know that Olberman is no longer on TV, don't you? He hasn't been on MSNBC for years and was let go from Current over a year ago.

Besides, frothers and droolers know that the best network for them is FOX...look at how many they hire there!



44831. concerned - 10/30/2012 10:47:21 PM

JAH -

You should have seen how Current TV spun the Romney/Allred thing. Made Romney sound like he was holding up Fort Knox when all he was doing was giving a statement about the Staples stock value at a particular point in time during a divorce hearing. It seems what Allred was really after was to lift a gag order preventing the former wife from talking about the case. Apparently, this woman is quite a harpy. IAC, Allred didn't get what she really wanted. Darn.

The Current TV hit piece is a priceless example of the further reaches of fact free LW demagoguery. If Olbermann got booted from that outfit, he must really be snafued in the brain.

44832. concerned - 10/30/2012 11:14:24 PM

Allred is also the shyster who 'brought down' Herman Cain a year ago, and she was digging through some other Republican's night dirt the year before that, although I'm not interested enough in the grimy details to check it out.

44833. arkymalarky - 10/30/2012 11:34:20 PM

That's a massively steamy pile, even for you.

44834. concerned - 10/31/2012 12:15:02 AM

Just the way Allred likes to breed in.

44835. concerned - 10/31/2012 12:17:28 AM

If Romney/Ryan are going to win, they'll have to beat the Democrat margin of fraud which is probably worth 5 points.

Can you believe that some Lefties are actually calling for the election to be delayed because of tropical storm Sandy? Guess they've never heard of the electoral college. Besides, it's not that bad everyhwere in the Northeast. I'm working with a CAD person in New Hampshire and he says it's 60 and sunny where he's at today.

44836. concerned - 10/31/2012 12:44:50 AM

Only ignorant, uninformed douche-bags will be voting for Ob☭ma in November.

Re-electing B☭rack Hussein Ob☭ma is like backing up the Titanic and hitting the iceberg a second time...

44837. concerned - 10/31/2012 1:05:09 AM



Help me! Glub Blub! This is all due to Republican global warming!
