Sunday Shows: Democrats back away from Obama on Benghazi, Syria
Breitbart ^ | May 5, 2012

Democrats on Sunday morning's news shows appeared to back away from President Barack Obama on his administration's response to the Benghazi terror attack and his blurry "red line" on Syria's chemical weapons.

On Fox News Sunday, Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) admitted that the Obama administration's talking points on Benghazi, edited to remove references to extremism and blaming protests against an anti-Islamic YouTube video for the violence, were "false. They were wrong. There were no protests outside the Benghazi compound."

On CBS News' Face the Nation, Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD), the Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee, also admitted that the administration's talking points were wrong, though putting the changes down to the fact that the intelligence changed over time in a "volatile situation."

Republicans remain divided on the Syria issue, but on Benghazi the caucus anticipates a week of testimony that will prove deeply damaging to the Obama administration, as well as the media's attempts to protect him.

Actually, backing off at this point is logical. He has done huge damage in his five or so years in office. He’s just about played out. The immigration bill is his last gift to tyranny. And it is being run mostly by Republicans for him.

The infrastructure changes made are fundamental and institutionalize a different form of government that we have had before. It is unlikely they will be reversed anytime soon. So all the left has to do now is run out the clock, prevent reversal of the changes, and let time crush the country.

“Who was the architect of the “US Movie to Blame” meme ? I want that person arrested and tried for treason.”

It’s not illegal for politicians to lie, unless they are under oath. Then, as a practical matter, the rule only applies to Republicans who lie under oath.
