Might as well, I guess.

[upchuck]

Now has turned two fine Marines into doormen. Where the F are WH staff???

At home enjoying the sequester?

Regarding Benghazi, he lied the other day when he claimed to have always said it was terrorism. If he lied about something so easy to disprove, he must be lying about everything else.

[tina07]

heck with close, hit him in the head and turn his hair totally white!

[don-o]

Everything is a mystery to this guy!

[Toespi]

Except for the class warfare I have promoted in my administration.

[llevrok]

Do these people not know how to consult the weather?The delay was to let the thunderstorm get over head so the presser could be cut short and avoid an questions

[Sleeping Freeper]

Now speaking of “what the American people want” - IRS is a quasi independent entity - Obama

[Jane Long]

Wonder if the press will ask mr. Turkey why didnt he turn the Benghazi terrorist over to the US.

Exactly!! Considering Am Stevens met with the Turkish Ambassador the day of the attack.

[caww]

It was already determined money was not an issue for additional security.. and on record. Therefore he’s simply demanding money...it’s always more money...more lies.

[Toespi]

Blaming any future republicans who might use it against him.

[tapatio]

Clueless In The White House

[SeaHawkFan]

He’s the effing President; he can find out what he wants to know without “an investigation”.

“I think we’re going to be able to fix this” - Obama

[llevrok]

I'm a tax payer too and do not want future admins to have the ability to abuse the IRS

What a gigantic egomaniac turd he is

[kabar]

The IG report took months to compile. Before it is released to the public, the IG must brief the Secretary of Treasury on the results, especially if there a damaging information about to be released.

I find it incredible that the Treasury Secretary did not brief the WH sometime much earlier--at least weeks and perhaps months. I say that advisedly having worked in the federal government for 36 years and being very familiar with the IG process.

The Reps should jump on this statement during the hearings.

[TigersEye]

Exactly. Holding umbrellas instead of responding to Benghazi.

State Dept. Rules of Engagement Kept Marines out of Tripoli, Benghazi in Libya

Captain Kendra Motz, Marine Corps spokesman, told Breitbart News on Friday that she wasn't aware that the Marine Corps had issued a formal statement, but that the information included in the Powerline report was correct.

"The Marine Corps does not have any Marines stationed at diplomatic installations in Libya."

When asked if she knew of the existence of the document outlining the State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya, she stated:

"I don't, and even if I did I couldn't disclose it to you because it puts people at risk."

The 50 Marines that were rushed to Libya after the murder of Ambassador Stevens are not permanently stationed at any diplomatic installation in Libya.

“I think we’re going to be able to fix this” - Obama

I think you're the LAST person the American people trust to fix this!

[tina07]

Cool as a cucumber like none of the scandals surrounding him means a flipping thing..

[don-o]

Great observation K.

[struggle]

I don’t know anything about anything.

It’s all someone elses fault.
