Why would Obama care one little bit about people fighting in Syria? Look for the money.

He has probably already made a deal with Hillary. Biden will resign for health reasons, or have some kind of “illness”. Obama appoints Hillary as VP, the he resigns before he can be impeached. He really just wanted to live in Hawaii the next 4 years anyway and play lots more golf. Hillary gets to be the first woman president without being elected.

Help others to see. Is it a coincidence that Kelley’s twin sister was married to the guy in charge of spreading out the cash and business in Iraq? I think Bush went into Iraq looking for WMDs. That doesn’t mean I think everyone connected with that operation, especially the rebuilding phase, is clean. I think Obama went into Libya looking for money.

It seems not many in America care enough to look for the money trail or anything else. They prefer to be spoonfed their bread and circuses baby.

Long as they have their supersized McDonalds and can plant their ever widening butts in front of the Idiot Box they are fine. Basically, we live in Jeff Spicoli Land.

"Hillary gets to be the first woman president without being elected."

No. Hillary is knee-deep in this scandal. It would be the equivalent of Nixon appointing G.Gordon Liddy as VP after Agnew.

This is what must be covered up. Yes, the Obama administration’s incompetence was awful, but what happens if the media and American public find out that Obama’s “higher calling” is just to put money in his pocket?

Ron Magers on the local Chicago ABC news just reported that Petraeus testified that the information that was released regarding the video was done to throw off the terrorists so they wouldn’t know we were on their trail. Nothing about Susan Rice and her statement and how the information was changed by “someone.” As long as the media is an arm of the Democrat Party, a Republican will never win, in Illinois or as president.

Don’t forget she is the wife of Slick Willie, the teflon president. Nothing could stick to him and he will get her out of it, Obama will cover for her as well. They’ve got all the goods on him.

Let’s not ignore the fact they pissed on the 1st Amendment with no complaints whatsoever from the ACLU, Leftwing Media, Hollywood, nor the majority of Congress.

Know what would be cool? Start rumor mills all over the country that the illegals are really trying to knock the current welfare recipients off the rolls and embed their own and sign different community maven’s names to the letter. Hahahaha. I am just kidding of course that would be so Alinsky, so wrong.

I am soooo tired of hearing Obamanoids talk about Susan Rice and "unclassified" talking points, let alone a man's affair with a beautiful woman. This is way beyond all that crap.

Adm. Lyons stated: "I know those Special Forces personnel were ready to leap at the opportunity. There is no doubt in my mind they would have wiped out the terrorists attackers.... I also understand we had a C-130 gunship available, which would have quickly disposed of the terrorist attackers. This attack went on for seven hours. Our fighter jets could have been at our Benghazi mission within an hour. Our Special Forces out of Sigonella could have been there within a few hours. There is not any doubt that action on our part could have saved the lives of our two former Navy SEALs and possibly the ambassador."

This is a travesty. Impeach the bastard!

“This whole scandal is just a sideshow for attention to be drawn away from his election fraud”

No, the story broke way before the election. The sex stuff is a distraction, though.

Why was the T word not used in the article?

Treason has been conmmitted by the so called president of the United States.

He should be impeached and then tried in a military court for murder.

Just one more opinion based on little more than gut feeling but I don’t think the Benghazi bomb has gone off in 0bama’s face yet. So far all we have seen is the sputtering of the fuse. A waterproof fuse.

Benghazi is one thousand times more serious than Watergate and Obama has been personally involved from the beginning (my belief). However, Nixon was hated by the press. Obama is both an idol and a creation of the media. Benghazi will be soon forgotten.

I wonder if the national election results can be vacated and a “do over” declared because of this.

I pray that you are right, but the big difference I see between Benghazi and Watergate is that the Republicans of that time, once it became clear that Nixon had a part in the cover up, had the integrity to go against a POTUS of their own party. The Democrats back then might even have done the same thing. Most of the Democrats of today are so morally corrupt and power hungry that they will continue to defend Obama - and the media will let them get away with it! As Rush was saying today, it is inconceivable that Obama, after FOUR YEARS IN OFFICE, was able succeed at blaming his abject economic failure on GWB!!
