(Associated Posers) - WASHINGTON DC With testimony taking place in front of a US House Committee about the lack of security at the US Consulate in Benghazi where 4 Americans were killed in what the government now admits was a terrorist act, the Presidents' representative Jen Psaki appeared on CNN to call the hearing outrageous.
This is a political stunt to change the topic away from Mitt Romney's failed economic and social policies she said There is no reason for anyone to worry about why our embassies are unguarded.
Documents released from the administration show that the staff of the consulate had been begging for weeks for more security. Documents also show that officials of the State Departments had a policy of refusing to send more security, instead relying on outsourced and local security, this order was also signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. They even advertised a $13,000 security position giving preferences to people in same-sex relationships. Apparently there was only a single security officer at the consulate.
Jen Psaki said the hearings and accusations were all outrageous poitical accusations.
The administration is providing information they had access to at the time. And the intelligence community has come out and said that this was an organized act of terrorism. But for us, its not political. For the President, its not political. And its unfortunate its being brought to that she said.
But for more than a week after the deadly attack the administration and President Obama refused to admit it was a terrorist attack. Saying that the incident took place because of outrage over a short video on Youtube during a protest. The government now admits that there was no protest at all and that 100+ armed men, some with rocket-propelled grenade launchers, did not just happen to meet up and decide willy-nilly to attack the consulate.
These are just distractions by the right-wing conspiracy Psaki told CNN The real issue of this campaign is funding Sesame Street and not denying free condoms to college students at prestigious, ivy-league universities who are dating wealthy heirs. The real issue is not that our embassies are unguarded in tumultuous locales, it is that we need to get more Chevy Volts purchased by the federal government sent to these places.
Jen Psaki said Barack's friend, Martha Radditz, is moderating the Vice Presidential debate and will keep the debate on topic. This is all about the Republican War on Women, and that is what Paul Ryan needs to be hit with. The President attended her wedding, so she owes us one.
When asked about the President's accusations that Mitt Romney wants a $5 trillion tax cut for the rich, she stated Well, that wasn't true, but we aren't going to surrender the issue. We are going to keep pounding Romney with that. We have to protect this economic recovery from the ravages of his proposed tax and spending cuts
Calling these people unbelievable is inadequate. There is no word to describe thei hubris.
bump
It’s satire, folks.
Oops, satire? Shoulda paid attention. It’s just so hard to know what’s a joke and what’s a joke....
'Inane' is an adjective and not a noun. Don't be inane. |
Except for the embassy staff, that is. Right Jen?
i usually catch john semmes’ satire by the end of the second paragraph because there is always a phrase that is jusr over the believable. i know this isn’t his but i must be inane because i would believe tis regieme would do everything in this article. nicely done.
Exactly. There’s nothing they won’t do.
If Romney would say he’s pulling all Americans, troops included, out of all muslim land, the election would be his! Wars can’t be won in places where one can’t tell who the enemy is! They fight each other in tribal wars and come together with a vengence when we get involved. Let them alone to kill one another. They do a good job of it! Open up our oil fields and energy opportunities in this country and we don’t need them! Soooo simple!
Is this the Onion?
lol.
It’s mine. Did the satire warning in the headline not work?
Was it too subtle?
All I do is add quotes to make it more “truthful”. lol
I’ve been trying to study Korean (and it’s going slowly) and it’s mixed me up pretty bad. That’s my inane excuse and I’m sticking to it.
I try to make them more realistic by adding quotes that show what they really think. heh.
Jen Psaki is clearly nothing but a political hack concerned only with protecting the President from the consequences of his lack of execution and attempts to hide what occurred in Libya.
The name may be ficticous(sp?)....but some on the left are making some of the statements.....may be satire but it ain’t far from reality.
No, it’s good. I just wondered if it was an Onion publication.
