Crazy? Or just plain stupid?

Complicit.

I found some good info on the writer....

In That’s a crock, Barack, Ambassador Fred J. Eckert -- author of the political satire novel Hank Harrison for President that Library Journal hailed as “One of the best political spoofs since The Mouse That Roared” -- examines Barack Obama’s own words – incredibly duplicitous, deceitful, arrogant and delusional – and subjects them to logic and wit to demonstrate what a con job Obama and his fawning media cheerleaders have perpetrated upon the American people.

About the Author

Fred J. Eckert, former US Ambassador and former conservative Republican Member of Congress, is the author of the political satire novel, Hank Harrison for President, that Library Journal hailed as “one of the best political spoofs since The Mouse That Roared.” His writings have appeared in such national magazines as Reader’s Digest, The Wall Street Journal and Outdoor Life; in a number of conservative on-line publications, including Human Events, American Thinker, Pajamas Media, National Review Online and The Washington Examiner; and in nearly every major newspaper in the United States. President Ronald Reagan called him “a good friend and valued advisor…a man of great experience and wisdom.”

Sounds like to me Eckert knows of what he speaks.

911 Comission. What a farce that was. Jamie Gorelick, the hack that built
the “Wall” was put on the Comission. She should have been put in Jail.

That’s because Bonehead wants to use it as a campaign issue.
He has no interest in getting the truth or putting people jail for lying
to congress.

I agree and it makes me ill.

Why insist on investigating the Benghazi scandal in such a maladroit manner? Because it: 1) frees Boehner from having to decide who should chair the investigation, thereby saving him from possibly offending the ones not selected; 2) enables six different committee chairs to bask in the spotlight as star of their very own investigation; and 3) gives every member who serves on one of these six committees — all 239 of them, or more than half of the House — a chance to appear on prime-time national television.

I have to agree that someone needs to ask Boehner whether or not he is crazy or just plain stupid. Perhaps he does not want to risk being taken off the golf with Obama invitee listing.

The author illustrates precisely why the families of our ambassador, his assistant, and two Navy SEALs will never know why their sons were betrayed and abandoned, to be brutally murdered by savage psychopaths.

Boehner and the establishment GOP have the blood of murdered heroes on their hands, and they don’t care.

Thanks for the link. We can almost always count on Mark to bring clarity to the matter at hand.

” [the problem is] he’s not appointing a special investigative committee.”

I’m not sure this has anything to do with money and influence. I think he’s ... ah... I think he’s weak. I think he doesn’t... you know... he’s more than happy to talk about this, he’s more than happy to hold press conferences about this... but he actually doesn’t want to get much done. That’s the problem. Thank you for your call my friend.

And this is the problem with the Republicans across the board. They’ll introduce something... but they’re really not serious about it... they have the power of the purse in the house, but they almost never use it. It’s pathetic.

I can assure you if the Democrats were in our position, and we were in their position, they’d be unleashing all kinds of havoc, and affecting the agenda in ways that the current Republican leadership is incapable of. “
