That reminds me, my dog left a big pile of 0bama...

That reminds me, we have about 1000 gallons of 0bama right now in an underground tank. I have it pumped every 2 years, and it's that time again...

“When asked directly did you issue specific orders to save the Americans in Benghazi, POTUS says “first thing I said was do everything possible to save them, just as we would whenever civilians or military personnel are in danger”

On follow-up he seemed to leave it that there was no “special” order in this case.

I think he just affirmed that he gave no special cross-border authority to rescue these Americans. He left it to normal status, no special rescue. The special forces on the tarmac in Sigonella had to stand down as a result.”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

PING!

I’m glad we’re talking about Obama. I was feeling pretty sluggish earlier, left an Obama in the men’s room, and I feel so much better.

If only getting rid of this president would be that easy!

There's no evidence from what I've seen ... that I've done anything wrong here. Not me, that's not on me. I didn't do that. That's not mine. (long pause) When I came into office, I inherited ... a lot of stuff, so that's not me. Not mine. No. No way. Mmmm mmm mmm. OK? You journalists, you know what? You've been a great crowd! And all you kafirs sitting at home, you can go back to `Days.'

Guess obama hasn’t been told that it’s been reported that the FBI found top secret documents in Broadwell’s house. And that she admitted to taking them.

‘from what I’ve seen’

How about:

'from what I've heard'

“I have no doubt that Gen P would never hurt national security”

Sure he would. He denied fire support to grunts in firefights. He is the author of that policy.

He said that Israel as an ally is a bother because we cannot get arabs to want close friendships with us.

He is pushing for intervention in Syria.

His girlfriends computer had classified information on it.

And he placed himself in a position where he can be blackmailed. I think it’s reasonable to assume he would cave in to blackmail by watching the way he has covered up the truth after Benghazi. He will scrupulously avoid any testimony that puts Obama in a bad light.

He’s a snake in the grass POS, always has been.

And, the FBI reopened their investigation.

Oh, so the President has actually seen something? What did he see, and when did he see it?

Idiot. Apologies for the bluntness here.

Common sense 101. If I have classified information and go out and bang someone who isn't my wife, I'm in trouble. Besides the morals, someone has information that can be used to put me in a compromising position. Pun intended. What the hell are classified documents doing being put in compromised positions?

Hard to see much from Bath-house Barry's POV:
