House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on CNN Tuesday attempted to shift the blame for the disastrous handling of the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya from the Obama administration onto Republican lawmakers, arguing they withheld $300 million in funding that could have provided much-needed security at the consulate...

Any person who attains the position of Speaker of the House, and then tells the American people that “we have to pass bill so you can find out what’s in it,” should never be taken seriously by anybody about anything.

Probably, that Japcar Leaf has been found to have such a low range with it’s battery-only design that getting to the library might be all it can do.

Thank you Nancy, for putting this back into the news cycle, and for giving the GOP a reason to jump all over this statement, and to prove that it is naturally the president’s responsibility, and that any needed funds for added security would naturally have been available, were they needed and requested.

Pelosi isn’t nuts. She is a dangerous, manipulative, vicious liar that has permeated our government. She has cost this country grief, lives and billions of dollars, she should have been removed from office years ago.

Nancy Bimbosi is the baseline measurement for intelligence below which no human being can exist as a functioning organism.

The other night, an insane dog in the neighbor’s back lawn was barking crazily at the moon.

I opened the window, and said, “Hello Ms. Minority Speaker Pelosi. Could I ask you to kindly keep it down over there?”

They could have saved a lot of money by pulling security off of Valerie Jarrett, the person who really calls all the shots.

The usual absurdities from DemocRATS and the head priestess of the Cult of Obama Nancy Pelosi. For example:

The Reagan Administration was responsible for AIDS.

Republicans wanted to kill elderly people and minorities. Etc...

The calumnies and lies never stop from liberals.

And the Democrat Party Media broadcasts them without ever questioning how stupid they sound.

I fully agree. Her actions as a legislator are beyond treasonous.

But apparently they had money to by the Chevy Volts I understand...

And, I seem to remember the Adminstration bragging about that carrier fleet that's using only bio-fuels.... several million dollars worth. And let's not forget about the Solyndra affair and other wastes of taxpayer monies.

This administration has no clue what it means to live within its means. The chickens are coming home to roost.

Beyond ridiculous. It’s amazing to me that she even attempts this line of drivel.

Yep, no money for Ambassador’s in a hostile country, but plenty of it for a senior advisors to Obama in the US.

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/09/14/valerie-jarrett-pat-caddell-libyan-embassy

Furthermore, you mean to tell me that out of a budget of $1.54 BILLION for the Worldwide Security Protection program they couldn’t find enough spare change lying around and was inherently forced to hire a rabble of poorly trained LOCAL Libyans through a foreign security company?

Let’s also make no mention of the fact that attached Marines and called upon reinforcements for embassy/consulate security comes from an entirely different budget itself, the Department of Defense.

When it comes to a extremely dangerous place like Libya the buck stops with the State Department/Hillary Clinton and ultimately Pres. Obama to allocate proper security personnel for a the protection of the US Ambassador.This was not due to lack of money or resources as Pelosi shamelessly tries to spin.

The reality is that they implicitly failed to do their jobs to protect Ambassador Stevens after repeated pleas from him to do so as the facts point out, plain and simple!

Instead, $300 million went to Obamaphones, food stamps and federal disability payments.

Hell, they've got priorities ya' know.

The Kenyan must go.
