Obama lusts after revanche
And his methods make patriots blanch
He recalls every slight
From his foes on the right
Makes us miss Reagan’s smile at his ranch

Obama's statement regarding "phony scandals" - like the Benghazi Debacle - is nothing more than a blatant self-serving and mendacious act of revanchism!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[tioga]

Ah, I do miss Reagan. A+++

[tioga]

A++ Nothing phony to the 4 dead.
