LIVE THREAD: Obama Presser with Turkish PM (Noonish EDT)

The White House ^ | May 16, 2013

[penelopesire]

Looks like Obama just bought Turkish PM silence on Benghazi with our tax dollars.

[tapatio]

He has the Audacity to say we need to come together and honor the sacrifice of those in Benghazi. Who lied about it??

[Gator113]

Lint from the carpet he prays on before walking to the podium?

Perhaps it’s ash from his eternal home, Hell.

[llevrok]

Turkey guy just called it terrorism.

Time until he is told to retract that in 10 9 8 7 6 .....

[Jane Long]

Benghazi.....Patriots who accepted the risks.

Not watching, so thanks for the updates. This has become 0's line de jour..."accepted the risks"... they never dreamed their CIC (term used very loosely) would flat out abandon them, though.

[Toespi]

“Properly fund missions from now on.” So here we go, want to go to recommendations, skip the what happened part of Benghazi.

[PghBaldy]

He wants us to call him lazy, which he is.

Too bad The One was late. Now he will pre-empt Hoda and Kathi Lee (west coast time)

THAT really makes me mad !!

[TigersEye]

The main risk being that the pResident, Sec. State and Sec. Def. would be such cowardly craven pussies that they would leave them to hang in the wind.

[llevrok]

He wants us to call him lazy, which he is.

But as the philosopher, Uncle Joe once said, "He's very clean".

[Toespi]

Wonder if the press will ask mr. Turkey why didnt he turn the Benghazi terrorist over to the US.

[TigersEye]

Gregory Hicks testified in the House hearing last week that security at embassies had not changed since last Sept.

[AliVeritas]

It would be nice if someone asked how the Turk got out of the embassy and if they’re still running guns.

[kabar]

Gonna use Benghazi for more money..shameless partisan dig...

No, Obama is trying to use lack of money as an excuse for the lack of security in Benghazi. He is echoing the Dem line of Boxer and Pelosi. Forget that Charlene Lamb of the State Department who said before Congress that resources were not the problem.

This statement is scary because Obama and his minions will be pushing this line to the public and during the 2014 midterms. Obama is circling the wagons.

[caww]

Yep...onward to the Global Agenda...

[llevrok]

My tin foil hat theory on why the presser was 48 mins late is that The One was watching the weather move through.

They are hoping a thundershower will pre-maturely end the presser.

[AliVeritas]

LOL IRS question.

DOJ question.
