Nobody cares. If they had a Video of Obama drowning Kittens, PETA would come out with a “how to” follow up Video and the DNC would add Drowning Kittens to their Party Platform. A new National Holiday would be sure to follow.

+1 best post ever.

Too many people keep thinking that the Democrat leaders give a s**t about anything but themselves and the Democrat party. And they only care about the Democrat party because it is the vehicle they use to propel themselves into the government treasury to loot it. Care about The United States? Come on! Care about the little people? You must be kidding.

One of the things I love about FR is the quick and devastating wit.

For any previous Administration, especially a Republican one, this would be more accurately described as Dereliction of Duty and gross negligence.

Roto-Reuters is finally catching on? That we have a emperor with no clothes for a president, and another dingbat—in the tradition of Hillary Clinton—for a Secretary of State?

So the “optics” of him out smoozing on the campaign stump in Vegas the day after Benghazi wasn’t ‘terrible’? No photos of the ‘Campaigner-in-Chief sweating out Benghazi in the same manner that he was so ‘concerned’ about the Osama raid (so he could campaign on having ‘personally’ taken out Osama) .... hmmm, wonder why that would be? /s

Terribly accurate optics.

It’ s becoming pretty obvious that the President and Secretary of State have very little to do with actually running the show and managing affairs.

Their role is really more one of being front men for those who are pulling their strings.

Kerry and Obama are the Spokes Models and Teleprompter readers for the people who are the public face of those who are really running the show.

If it looks like a duck, it’s not a duck. It’s poor optics.

Brush and Bush? You provided too many hints. The despicable characteristics you are referring to are mostly invented by the left, however. The actual ones are minor and go unrecognized by them. Namely, being too liberal, and thinking he can appease them by acting like one. That only fuels their hatred.

The White House finally released a photo of the Situation Room the night of the Benghazi attacks.

I think the zombie attack is underway.

Zombies are also known as “0bama supporters”.

It’s not a coup. It’s the will of the people to reject Islamicism.

They aren’t the ones making the decisions, they are puppets and in the last term.

I reject the notion that Obama et al are 'puppets'. Considering them so, removes the burden of responsibility for their heinous acts from their shoulders, and places it on some unknown 'other' who is invisible and not likely to ever be discovered.

I reject that mechanism completely. I hold these monsters directly responsible for the crimes they've committed against us - and yes, I believe they've planned and executed every bit of it.
