If The Public Knew About Obama's Lies And Cover Ups, Mitt Romney Might Be President"
Zerohedge ^ | May 19, 2015 | Tyler Durden

When it comes to the countless lies of this administration (and that of the next one under Hillary Clinton) one has to just throw in the flag.

Days after Seymour Hersh exposed the biggest lie of Obama's first term, a lie which we learned was also facilitated and perpetuated by the CIA as well (the topic of the latest Frontline documentary "How the CIA Helped Make “Zero Dark Thirty”"), we get yet more evidence of the administration's lies this time on a topic dear - and sensitive - for the person who may well be the next US president, Hillary Clinton, who as a reminder made up a story that the September 11, 2012 Benghazi embassy attack was a product of spontaneous protests of an obscure YouTube documentary by an American producer that lampooned Muslims.

Only later did the administration concede that the attack was a terrorist operation.

And now, according to a declassified Defense Department document obtained by Judicial Watch we learn that the Obama administration knew that "al Qaeda terrorists had planned the Benghazi attack ten days in advance." Then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other senior level individuals including then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Obama White House National Security Council were given intelligence within hours of the Benghazi attack describing how it had been planned at least 10 days in advance “to kill as many Americans as possible.”

===snip===

The attack was planned ten or more days prior on approximately 01 September 2012. The intention was to attack the consulate and to kill as many Americans as possible to seek revenge for U.S. killing of Aboyahiye ((ALALIBY)) in Pakistan and in memorial of the 11 September 2001 atacks on the World Trade Center buildings.

What you say is correct. The key is, and i know some unrepentant individuals who voted for him, admitting one was wrong about something one believed in so passionately. This isn’t like admitting to be wrong about a math problem but rather about core beliefs. The good part is, and obviously not as well known in 2012 by the masses, more is coming out all the time like this article. The genius of the secret ballot will hopefully allow people to admit their shame in private by atoning at the ballot box and not having to publicly embarrass themselves.

Not that Romney was great, but we don’t have a Romney because we have a biased press and a lot of people voting for people based on their government jobs or benefits versus what is good for the country.

And a lot of idiots who believe, to this day, that Romney would have been every bit as bad as Obama. With minds like that on our side of the aisle we don't need any enemies on the Left to insure that tyranny wins.

I held my nose and voted for McLame and did the same for Mittens to get Obozo out. I will sit this one out and let the country get the "leadership" it deserves.

SCREW the B@$T@RD$!

I was “public” then and I knew...Romney knew...he wanted to “play fair” ...the old Karl Rove strategy working at its best.

Yet people here will sit on their butts instead of voting for a Republican who falls short of their view of the perfect conservative.

I voted for the candidate that "falls short" the last two times.

We still have open borders, higher energy costs, rampant unemployment, and the list goes on....

SCREW that!

I have had minorities tell me they didn't care if the whole country went up in flames, as long as white people get hurt in the process. Pretty telling, I would say.

It goes deeper than that. If you look at the crime statistics broken down by race for victim and perpetrator you will see that Black on black crime is the highest.

It is the consummate "me first" attitude and has been that way for at least three generations.

It wouldn’t have mattered how much the public knew about Obama’s lies and cover-ups. The cheating at the polls would have guaranteed the same outcome. And nothing will be different in 2016; expect it.

The leftists have made it almost impossible for our country to continue as a Republic.

It hasn't been a Republic since Lincoln.

Just look how much better off we are with Mitch running the Senate. He has stopped the illegal amnesty and defunded ObamaCare and I am sure he will stop this secret trade deal and the secret Iran nuclear treaty. Oh well, at least the morons that thought any Republican is better than any democrat probably still think he will.

Obama voters in 2012 consist of
“vote for him cuz he’s black”
and
“vote for him to beat the Republican”

LOL! If they knew about his lies and cover-ups, he'd have a strong shot at a third term.

Dude, at this point, I'd settle for a Republican who is like a moderate Democrat.

I can't even get THAT.

Not true at all. The public does/did not give a damn about Obama’s lies. To the public, it only mattered that that Obama was against everything good and decent. As a nation, the United States has descended from, The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave to the land of the degenerate and home of the decant. Evidence of this is shown each day on the evening news and it is demonstrated daily by more individuals selling their birthright for a bowl of Government stew.

Bob, you voted FOR the Republican party to move hard left when you voted for Romney. You know this if you did your due diligence on Romney and his standing record.

You can pretend that going out and voting for a functional Democrat registered as a Republican isn't a wrong thing to do for America.

You can pretend that you were voting "against" Obama, although mathematically and materially, anyone who votes anywhere, ever, is limited to casting votes FOR a candidate or proposal, even if that proposal is to NIX something (like voting "against" a proposition is materially and mathematically voting FOR nixing the proposition).

You can pretend that going out and voting for a pro-homosexual-agenda, pro-on-demand-abortion, pro-nationalized-health-care, pro-environmentalist Republican president isn't a betrayal of every moral and political principle that conservatives hold dear. You can PRETEND all you want that you didn't do something downright stupid and bad when you voted for Romney, because if that bastard had WON, America and certainly the Republican party would likely be in WORSE shape than they are now.

You are responsible for what you vote FOR, and when you voted for Romney, you voted for a lot of wicked, evil stuff. OWN IT, please.

But indeed, your post sadly proves that pretending is all you are doing. The ONLY thing you did when you voted for Romney, was to vote FOR the Republican party to punish limited government conservatism and to advance leftist tyrannical government.

YOU did the wrong thing when you voted for the guy.

Do they even care?

Everybody knew what Bill Clinton was, and yet they voted for him anyway.

About 50% of the voters are with him and her all the way, it is going to take something big to change it.I have my doubts, but will never give up.

Amazing that with Obama's track record, some still use that argument. "Principled losing" is still losing.

What's the difference between someone who has opinions you don't like, but who also believes in the Constitution , and someone who is a rabid and lawless pusher of every depravity one cold imagine, and who will constantly go against the Constitution to push his agenda? Forget the Internationale and economic disasters.

With McConnell and Boehner involved, only an idiot would believe that things would change in the House and Senate, especially with Obama being given the free pass for a second term "on principle" - that is a whole different battle where folks need to put time and money onto different State elections and there is no quick fix. But that's sooooo hard an inconvenient to wrap one's brain around so one sees a potential victory turn to manure and decides it's more productive to point at it and whine instead of girding up for the battles at hand.

Cry me a river.
