Krauthammer: Biggest Scandal of All Is What the President Was Doing for 8 Hours?

I don't think the IRS thing really matters to too many folks that are in the center or left of center. Those folks don't like the TEA party anyway. The IRS scandal is only really firing up the right and far right. The far right hates Obama already. The right has been quiet since the election of 2012. Only problem is these folks aren't going to vote Democrat anyway.

The IRS scandal is only going to help the GOP in 2014 (which will be similar to 2010). It ain't going to help the GOP in 2016.

Those GOP primary debates killed the GOP message in 2012, there has not been any sign that the GOP has gotten better in messaging since then either.

 

When do you accept the post as Ambassador to Libya?

 

Just what would a team of SEALs or a drone do other then leave a bunch of bodies in the street just to be shown to the entire world via cable news. Yeah that sounds smart. Nothing bad about that idea... LOL

 

Nothing new was learned?

True.

Obama has still not said where he was and what he was doing while 4 brave Americans were being killed in Benghazi.

But one thing is for sure he was not at his post in the Situation Room trying to save them.

 

obama gave the stand down order.

his reelection was too important to waste time saving the life of our Ambassador....

 

It's not a card; it's a stonewalling of congress operation to protect the details surrounding a cover-up.

 

I'm a lefty. I care that people died. I don't blame Obama because he didn't cause their deaths.

Wasn't that stand down order given after they already died?

 

The President could have been playing strip poker with Chris Christie and Bill Ayers during that 8 hours and it's not going to matter.

He's still going to be president for the next 3.5 years, and he not running again.

It's just an excuse for the Republicans to bog down the congress and public's attention so they don't have to do anything for the next 4 years.

 

Yes, obamas evasion of his responsibilities, directly led to the death of our Ambassador.

We had strike teams close enough to help, obama and pals told em to stand down.

 

Those men were dead men fighting. They had no chance, because we as a nation of complacent people lead by incompetent government gave them no chance.
They were expendable in the eyes of our government. Pawns for us to keep our eye on while the other scandles and inept dealings were going on.
This what we have here is the typical three card monte.
Keep thier eyes moving, keep moving the cards, keep them off balance.
Then pick up thier cash.

 

These are not Obamas responsibilities, youre saying they are doesnt make it so.

You didnt have strike teams close enough.

 

How clueless can one liberal be?

According to libs Benghazi is only important in the way it affects Obama and to hell with the 4 dead Americans.

 

Did Obama shoot them? I don't see how he could have could have "directly" caused their deaths.

I'd ask for proof that Obama was the one who gave the stand down order, but it doesn't matter; whoever gave the order did it with the best intentions.

 

This is becoming more on the lines of witch hunt. These posts seem to be getting more attention than anything else. I could post up a thread about how Obama took a dump on the desk in the Oval office, that would get more attention from folks than if I put up something on the lines of a teacher being disciplined for informing his students of their rights (http://reason.com/blog/2013/05/27/high-school-teacher-faces-discipline-for). It ain't the fact that folks aren't paying attention, it's that what folks are force feed by the MSM, and threads like this, is making them tolerant to everything else. They accept this reality as the new 'norm' and live their lives as there's nothing left to do.

In my opinion, folks look at politicians as almost as generalized as this, save the technicalities of my statements, as I'm painting with a broad stroke. They see the Democrats as wanting to help those less unfortunate, they see the Republicans as wanting to defend their turf. They realize that both avenues will cost them money, the difference is they'd rather use their money to help others than to destroy nations. Who here states that the Iraq war was a good thing? I'm willing to wager that the majority of folks who say 'Yay' are conservative. Not saying that Democrats aren't in favor of this either, all I'm saying is the majority will lean Republican. Of course Saddam was bad, but it wasn't worth a war, in my eyes.

I'm only stating this as more of these posts become a rolling ball of ridiculousness, the GOP will continue to lose faith with the American public. I've stated, many times, I don't wish to see the Republican party go by the way side. I'd rather see them remain, intact, but change their core principles. At the rate America is going, it's going to be a one party nation, one being the dominate while the other is secondary. As most folks know, those nations, who stand with a one party political system, don't stand for very much for very long. I'm not in favor of seeing this country collapse, but I definitely feel like it's time for a change.

If folks want to discuss real issues, there are plenty more out there that completely warrant our attention. Obama standing around for 8 hours, Bush continuing to read a book for 7 minutes, Rubio drinking water, Clinton having 'oral relations' with Monica, it's all ridiculous things. Bigger issues are out there that should be higher priority, this is not one of them.

 

Obama didn't shoot bin Laden either but he likes to take credit for that.

He is just as responsible for the 4 dead Americans in Benghazi.

 

Keep looking for that cover up. Good luck running on the Libya card for 2016 as Hilary coasts back into the White House. I bet Bill has already picked a china pattern out

 

Oh, the Republicans have a plan to bring them back to life?

 

No, but we do want to place the blame for their deaths on the Incompetent Duo Barry and Hillary.

 

Really. Show me a quote where Obama said, "I shot bin Laden."

You righties can't have it both ways. Us lefties didn't blame Bush for 9/11 because we're not out for blood. You righties pine for the deaths of 4 Americans and you don't even know their names (they're just "four Americans"). The pretend sympathy is getting ridiculous. Were you allowed to attend their funeral service or did you have to wait outside the Church?

 

Yep, that's pretty much it. You want to place blame. Because that will accomplish something.

 

The "Big Picture" to all these Obama scandals is that more and more Americans are realizing how corrupt not only the Obama administration is but also the Democratic Party. All people on the private sector side of the equation have had enough and will be tremendously engergized for the upcoming 2014 off year elections.

The Progressive movement is rotten to its core from the public schools systems to the public employee unions to federal agency employees to the thousands of political operatives that helped commit massive voter fraud in both 2008 and 2012 which all leads to its head in the oval office. This movement has to be purged.

 

We want Obama and Hillary to take responsibility for their actions.

Or in this case of Americans under attack in Benghazi their inaction.

They are a pair of incompetents.

 

The buck stops with him. He at least should be man enough to start holding his minions responsible.
Oh, wait. If he did that they would turn on him and no longer insulate him.

 

He often says "Under my administration WE got bin Laden."

Well, under his administration four Americans were murdered in Libya and Obama didn't lift a finger to help them.

 

Candy jumped into protect Obama. Obama's speech at the WH had a brief general mention of acts of terror towards the end, but he NEVER directly called the attack a terrorist act.
