Another CYA bulletin from the White Hut. Even their “push backs” are delayed.
I wish there was someone with the power to just declare that Obama is perfect and let him go on permanent vacation so we could get on with the business of preserving the republic?

Hashtag National Security.....
Any bets as to what the document dump, bad information or EO will occur around 5:00 pm EDT today?
My main issue is not about what happened way back when with a rescue mission, but the more recent issue - USING publicity of the failure to bolster low PR. Amazing situation where negative PR is used to try to negate even worse PR, but that is where we are today.
Heck Obama is hesitating to rescue the whole country from the Islamics...
You can keep your head. Period.

And we would believe anything coming out of President Tee Time’s mouth or his regime because why???
We’re supposed to do this a day after Zero held a press conference to announce he is clueless what to do about ISIS???
.
- “The U.S. Government had what we believed was sufficient intelligence . . .” - what a flaming pile of arrogant shiite
- The White House did not even double-bag it!
.
Sometimes it just takes ValJar a little time to make up her mind.
What's 72 hours among friends?
Just get over it.
It's time to move on.
If they feel they have to “push back” then it must be true. Like the Benghazi 4, he left him to die.
Who’re you gonna believe? The White House, or ANYbody else?
this punk ass magic negro has an excuse for every damn thing
the guy is a worthless son of a bitch.
