The establishment press is working mightily to shield President Barack Obama from blame for, or even association with, decisions he has made and actions he has taken — unilaterally and with dubious constitutional authority in many instances.

What about Madam Hillary Benghazi herself?

Doesn't matter, as long as they get their names right in the indictments for TREASON!

ISIS ... Arab Spring II, brought to you by Benghazi Clinton, Climate Change Kerry-Heinz, George “turn that Jew in” Soros, Prophet Mad Mo’s acolyte Hussein Obama, and a cast of thousands of US haters.

We'll get an October 'surprise' - followed by the MSM telling us how conservative each Democrat really is... well, at least until they're elected... then they morph into socialists on speed...
