In the case of Benghazi, the military maintains that nothing could have been done to save the lives lost that night, and it may well be right. But no one could say how long the attack in Benghazi would last or if there would be follow-on attacks in Tripoli. An engaged commander in chief would have been coordinating with his military and prodding it to see if it could do more, faster to respond to an attack that resulted in a national humiliation. ......."An engaged commander" The only time he's engaged is when he's partying with celebrities or playing golf.

The day after his mystery night, Obama publicly emerged. He gave a statement at 10:35 a.m. condemning the Benghazi attack — and left Washington at 2:20 p.m. for a fundraiser in Las Vegas...............How despicable.

You fool me with that GIF...I kept trying to squash the bug I really thought it was real....LOL

I sat in a White House chief of staff’s office every day for more than two years. The only reason the legal counsel would tell the chief of staff about an impending report or disclosure would be so the chief of staff could tell the president. .....................But Zero knows nothing

My personal favorite of all the new revelations from the Obama IRS scandal is that White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler told White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough about the impending IRS inspector general report, but of course the White House chief of staff did not tell the president..................It keeps getting worse for Team Obama

The reaction from the Maduro administration and the ruling party did not wait: they are targeting government employees who voted against in April. Furthermore there is a twit account @cerotraidores, which publishes the photos of those bureaucrats who campaigned for Capriles or have been ‘caught’ at opposition rallies. The twit account calls for the “purging and depuration” of ‘traitors’ from the government offices and enterprises.............Reminds me of Obama and the DemocRATs.

Looks like Nigeria has outsmarted the U.S. They can identify the enemy; obama refuses to admit that radical extremist Muslims are the problem and the enemy.

Reid is tearing Miller’s ass!

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service announced the appointment of Nancy J. Marks to the position of Division Counsel/Associate Chief Counsel (Tax Exempt and Government Entities) effective September 5, 2004.
“Nan Marks is a true asset to the Office of Chief Counsel,” said Donald L. Korb, IRS Chief Counsel. “We, and American taxpayers generally, are fortunate that people as talented as Nan have chosen to dedicate their careers to public service with this office.”

This is a joke!

Obama is useless now...so the libs are dumping him.

You may be right.

Excellent comment. So far their strategy has worked.

Coming from an administration where Biden himself compared Tea Party members to “terrorists” and referred to them as “the enemy.”

Keeps getting worse for Obozo

This maybe just the tip. AP was not the only news organization writing these stories. It will come out that other news outlets were also subject to this. This is why Holder says cannot remember how many records were seized.

LOL!!!

Until this week, it seemed obvious that the next Democratic presidential nominee would be running on Obama’s legacy. ............What difference does it make the libs will say.

According to the letter that Russian state security say they found on Fogle, the CIA was offering $100,000 up front and $1 million per year plus bonuses “if we receive some helpful information.” That implies that the CIA was offering a Russian official a staggering $1 million annually even if he or she doesn’t provide “helpful information” .............How generous!

(2) “Spy kit” looks like cheap costume shop regalia. Fogle’s alleged supplies when he was arrested, photos of which were disseminated on Russian media, include some cartoonish details: a map of Moscow (he doesn’t have a smartphone?), two wigs, three pairs of glasses, bags of Euros, a knife, a flashlight and – this is my favorite part – a compass. “Who uses a compass these days?” Mark Galeotti, a New York University professor who studies Russian security affairs, asked The Washington Post. “This would be a phenomenal breach of tradecraft. This isn’t what they teach you at the CIA.”

......Take a close look at this picture...looks like a dummy.

Those “warts,” though, include as many as 80,000 abandoned homes and at least 60 abandoned buildings downtown. Many of the “bad” neighborhoods have been dens for drug use, sexual assaults, murders, and kidnappings. A large number of them surround many of the city’s public schools. Even the “good” neighborhoods are pocked with abandoned homes, and the city’s midtown and downtown are pocked with abandoned structures, some in the shadows of hotels and stadiums..................A gift from Democrat leaders.

How is it that President Obama seems to find out about the scandals plaguing his administration at the same time as the rest of us? Doesn't he have people who are supposed to give him a little heads up? Jon Stewart posed those questions on Tuesday as he recounted the number of times Obama has trotted out the "I found out about it on the news" explanation. Incredulous, Stewart went so far as to say, "I wouldn't be surprised if President Obama learned Osama Bin Laden had been killed when he saw himself announcing it on television."...................You know is bad when Jon Stewart mocks Obozo !

"We believe the front line career employees that made the decisions acted out of a desire for efficiency and not out of any political or partisan view point," he wrote......................Can you believe that?

“Stupidity is also a gift of God, but one mustn’t misuse it”. Pope John Paul II.

“Mistakes were made” is an expression that is commonly used as a rhetorical device, whereby a speaker acknowledges that a situation was handled poorly or inappropriately but seeks to evade any direct admission or accusation of responsibility by using the passive voice, which allows for the deletion of the agent (the person who made the mistakes). The acknowledgement of “mistakes” is framed in an abstract sense, with no direct reference to who made the mistakes. An active voice construction might be along the lines of “I made mistakes” or “John Doe made mistakes.” The speaker neither accepts personal responsibility nor accuses anyone else. The word “mistakes” also does not imply intent.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistakes_were_made

Mistakes? The IRS committed a crime, not a mistake. It is amusing the way these idiots use phrases to just write off their premeditated crimes. Like "what does it matter, now?". I want prison terms for these criminal acts.

Oh Crap!

No...I’m sure were low level employees who did it.

We should find a third world country that needs a constitution and give them ours. We’re obviously not using it anymore.

"If, in fact, IRS personnel engaged in the kind of practices that have been reported on and were intentionally targeting conservative groups, then that's outrageous, and there is no place for it," ..................There'e no question in my military mind that Obama minions were intentionally targeting conservative groups. I want those responsible to be held accountable and the proper punishment applied...sorry isn't enough.

“I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”
—Hillary Clinton, speech at George Washington University, March 17, 2008.

Why is it that every illegal or incompetent problem in this administration can never be traced back to the top person who caused it?

“A Socialist State once thoroughly completed in all its details and its aspects—and that is what I am speaking of—could not afford to suffer opposition. . . Socialism is, in its essence, an attack not only upon British enterprise, but upon the right of the ordinary man or woman to breathe freely without having a harsh, clumsy, tyrannical hand clapped across their mouths and nostrils. . . Have we not heard Mr. Herbert Morrison descant upon his plans to curtail Parliamentary procedure and pass laws simply by resolution of broad principle in the House of Commons, afterward to be left by Parliament to the executive and to the bureaucrats to elaborate and enforce by departmental regulations?”
~ Winston Churchill

How dare someone try to make America a better place to live. Everyone one know’s when we are all equally poor life will be better. Like the Soviet Union circa 1960. That’s Obama’s dream.

Gregory Hicks, the Benghazi whistleblower who said he was “demoted” after challenging the Obama administration’s response to the attack, is a registered Democrat who voted for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, according to the Daily Caller. Hicks voted for Clinton in the 2008 presidential primary, then for Obama in the 2008 general election and again in 2012 — just weeks after the assault — attorney Victoria Toensing told the Daily Caller.......Well well

WH staffers should really burn any Benghazi documents outside in a burn barrel.

There must be earth shaking revelations coming about Obama and the IRS, this is the only reason they would preemptively admit guilt.

Don’t you wish you could get away with grossly illegal behavior by simply releasing the news on Friday and simply apologizing like they can?

Obama, using his SEIU career bureaucrats allies, launched a retaliatory political strike against his TEA Party enemies via the IRS. The only surprise here is that the IRS apologized. These people should be fired.

Surprised?.............do you really think the Chicago thugs running the White House had nothing to do with it?

These “low level” workers were probably promoted for carrying out “higher level” workers bidding.

Lerner said the practice, initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati, was wrong and she apologized while speaking at a conference in Washington.................Pass the buck.

Missing explosives and other weapons made in the U.S. or under the guard of U.S. security forces, have mysteriously disappeared from multiple locations across the world -- most recently in Kuwait. The Interior Ministry said last month thieves broke into an unguarded warehouse and took 20,000 U.S.-origin M-16 assault rifles. Also lifted were 15,000 rounds of ammunition for 9mm pistols...............20,000 Assault rifles??? that's enough to arm a small army!
