Ladies and gentleman, your president's intelligence at work.

Heh. A couple of right wing flakes--one in the FBI and one in the Tampa social scene--manage to tube the future of two of the GOP's best prospects for a 2016 presidential candidate. Way to go, guys!

This is absolute BS. And we have Senior officials testifying today in front of Congress, and what do we see in the Strib? CRickets. I'm going over to twincities.com. At least they'll provide some coverage of the biggest coverup and fiasco since Watergate.

So let me get this right. The President of the United States goes out to the Rose Garden on September 12th and specifically calls out that what happened on September 11th a terrorist attack (remember the debates) and then he orders Susan Rice to go out to 5 separate news media programs the following Sunday and sell America on the fact that the violence was caused by a video. You can't make this stuff up? I do agree with Obama on one thing, however. They shouldn't be going after Susan Rice on this. They should have both barrels pointed right at the President, just as he's asked.

Conservatives have lost it. The fear of losing an inch of white supremacy has them paranoid and seeing boogeymen in everything. Hopefully enough sensible people in red states will get tired of this and throw these guys out in 2014. I'm so tired of them making issues out of everything trivial. How about the jobs and the deficit that you keep saying you are concerned about? Fast and Furious was a waste of time because there was nothing to pin on the current administration, Benghazi is absolutely nothing, the Black Panthers were nothing, the Birth Certificate craziness was nothing and this Petraeus probe has no conspiracy behind it. All a huge waste of time.

Eric Holder was also completely okay with lying in front of congress last year. The hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper.

Truckman182: "Eric Holder was also completely okay with lying in front of congress last year. The hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper." And the GOP is at the bottom of it! Trying to find a scandal when they condoned almost a dozen embassy attacks under G. W. Bush! How funny is that??
