These repugs are so twisted. Their poison foments same in like-minded people. Too bad this country has so many hateful people. How could this have happened?

I’d sure love a sample of their DNA or brain scans to see what’s lighting up and what isn’t. Obviously compassion chemical oxytocin is missing.

Desperation

Appears that the American Taliban Republicans will grasp at virtually anything to scare up a point or two of approval, despite the fact that these issues are the figments of their own imaginations.

Voters must realize that this is an all or nothing election for the old, old GOP. They blow this one after spending all that money and you can start digging the hole in which to bury them.

REST IN PEACE, GOP. Yuk, Yuk….

Hillary is tough and smart. And she took responsibility for a mistake when the entire Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld cabal never did for their egregious errors in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bravo, Hillary. It’s nice to have adults in government.

Another reason to vote for Obama. He selects QUALITY people who ‘belly up to the bar’ when there is a problem within their area of responsibility. The Republicans NEVER take or took responsibility for ANYTHING where a problem occured starting with Dubya. Ole Karl Rove taught them to deny, deny, deny and then BLAME THE DEMOCRATS ! Their hypocracy knows no bounds.

For all those Republicans who think this will end Hillary’s career, guess again. This was the act of a stateswoman. Someone who is in charge of a major gov’t department IS responsible for what goes down and she stepped up. Everything does not get to the President’s desk. That’s why you delegate to strong people in your administration.

NOVEMBER 6 – PLEASE can you come QUICKYLY OBAMA – BIDEN 2012. I HATE THE HATE = gop/teaparty!

Heroism… In a small way. But will it matter in the end?

Maybe Hilary is becoming the only true statesman we have had for many years.

If I was a family member of one of the victims I would call it a scandal and wonder why there seemed to be a cover up! Wonder who will own up to being responsible if Iran drops an A-bomb somewhere?

Hillary cannot engage in politics. Is that constitutional, part of her brief, tradition, accepted wisdom, all of the above, or other? Nonetheless, she should make a simple, direct, true statement: Gov. Romney and Rep. Ryan: “You don’t know what you are talking about!”

The game of the Republican’ts is plain as crystal. It astonishes me, and disgusts me, and infuriates me, that roughly half of the electorate is falling for his seduction. Romney has no foreign policy experience, no military experience, has held no public office other than one term as a governor, and before he was even close to the Oval Office, he managed to insult the Russians, the Brits, the Chinese, and the Palestinians — and we’re supposed to logically and automatically conclude he’s an expert on foreign policy and the security thereof? Well, we know he’s not; the hands of the neo-cons (you know, those people with the bright idea of the hostile takeover of Iraq) are yanking his tongue. So not only is he insulting, they’re not exclusively his own insults.

Way to go Hilary….it is common sense that the President and V.P. do not have daily control of state department embassies all over the world. The U.S. government is a complex organization with departments which handle day to day operations. The Bush Admin. never did acknowledge that they had first hand documentation stating that Al Queda was preparing to strike in the U.S. Only Richard Clark stated this on his own. It is good to see honesty in the U.S. government.

Thank God somebody in Washington has the “balls” to take responsibility for a mistake. My hat is
off to Hillary for telling us it ws her fault. No one can be correct all of the time. Maybe some of the men in government should follow her example.

Hillary Clinton didn’t throw herself on the sword. She just took the responsibility that she already owned. Good for her for finally stepping up to the plate. No one else has. I think it takes a lot of courage in the wake of all the controversy…..I will vote for her in 2016 if she runs.
The problem is that she only answered one part of the issue, which was the lack of security in Benghazi.
This was no budget issue. Testifying under oath, Charlene Lamb (deputy secretary of state) was directly asked if there was any budget constraint that led to a lack of security. Her answer was “no sir”. Charlene Lamb also reported in a message to the Democrats on the House Oversight committee, that they wanted to keep the security level artificially low”. This is due to a policy constraint, not a budget constraint. There was also 2.2 billion dollar discretionary fund which could have been used to beef up security.
The state department also has a cultural exchange program that has a multimillion dollar budget. Under Obama’s reign, this budget has increased by 40%. I actually agree with that budget increase as I can see where it can have a great effect on exposing different cultures to the arts. However, it is clear that the State Department is not hurting for money. The other issue that hasn’t been brought up is that the Republican budget actually increased spending on the State department, but the increase was lower than what Obama wanted. Plus there was 2 more democrats that voted on that bill than Republicans. However, that is splitting hairs.
The real issue is why did Obama continue to say that the the attack was due to a video days after the event occurred? With in 24 hours the Libyan president stated that there was no demonstration, that it was a looked like a planned attack by heavily armed and well trained men.
And why was Susan Rice sent out to 5 TV stations 5 days after the attack, and give a canned report on how the attack was due to demonstrations against a video.
You can’t tell me that an event as important as this (first US ambassador to be killed since the Carter administration) the president wasn’t well briefed? And why did Obama continue on the campaign trail and fly to Las Vegas the day after the Benghazi event. One thing that has been broached is that Obama is skipping 60% of the intelligence briefs and reading them instead. So it is possible that he wasn’t doing his job well and didn’t read any of the briefs that dealt with the previous attack on the Benghazi consulate.
Members of the state department were on the phone and hearing a live count of what was happening at the consulate. The state department and the media knew within 24 hours that this was a terrorist attack and not related to the video. The Al Qaeda flag that was hung by the terrorists should have been a dead give away.
Obama has to answer these questions appropriately and not dodge the question. There are only three possibilities that I see here. Either Obama is very incompetent in his job as our commander in chief, or campaigning has become more important to him than the inconvenient timing of the terror attack that killed our ambassador and 3 others or Obama is trying to cover up the failure of his foreign policy in the middle east. One more legitimate question. What is Obama’s foreign policy for that area.
