For my anon who is intentionally ignoring context on that quote from the Obama administration official

From HotAir.com

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012 acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath.

The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it’s important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect “incompetence rather than malice or cover up.” Nonetheless, in the eight months since the attacks, this is the most sweeping and detailed discussion by key players of what might have been done differently.

“We’re portrayed by Republicans as either being lying or idiots,” said one Obama administration official who was part of the Benghazi response. “It’s actually closer to us being idiots.”


“We’re portrayed by Republicans as either being lying or idiots, It’s actually closer to us being idiots.”


Read that and provide me with some reason why you think that they are saying that Republicans are actually just calling them idiots. 

The quote is quite clear. Republicans are calling them either liars or idiots, but this officials is saying that they aren’t liars, they are just idiots.

I think it’s both personally.

Do you just laugh, when our own president calls us a democracy, but when we are a constitutional republic. Our own president who went to Harvard doesn't know this. how sad.

Our President was a constitutional law professor and I’m about 95% certain he’s never read the constitution. 

I laugh because my only other option is to scream.

Busted: Obama Administration Secretly Tapped Reporters’ Telephone Records For Months

freeplanetickettonorthkorea:

The Obama Justice Department secretly tapped telephone records of Associated Press reporters for two months.
The AP reported:

The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative’s top executive called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into how news organizations gather the news.

The records obtained by the Justice Department listed outgoing calls for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and the main number for AP reporters in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP. It was not clear if the records also included incoming calls or the duration of calls.

In all, the government seized the records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown but more than 100 journalists work in the offices where phone records were targeted, on a wide array of stories about government and other matters.

In a letter of protest sent to Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday, AP President and Chief Executive Officer Gary Pruitt said the government sought and obtained information far beyond anything that could be justified by any specific investigation. He demanded the return of the phone records and destruction of all copies.

“There can be no possible justification for such an overbroad collection of the telephone communications of The Associated Press and its reporters. These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP’s newsgathering operations, and disclose information about AP’s activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know,” Pruitt said.

And yet the left still loves him despite violating the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th, and more amendments of our constitution MULTIPLE TIMES

Let’s play a game called “How many fucking scandals can we uncover this weekend that conservatives were called conspiracy nuts for talking about 2 or 3 years earlier?”

MSNBC Blames IRS Scandal on Bush and Supreme Court…and Sneaks in a Wildly Inaccurate Smear of Glenn Beck

freeplanetickettonorthkorea:

Monday night on MSNBC, at least one primetime program lead with the unfolding and growing scandal of the IRS intimidation of patriot groups applying for non-profit status. However, there was something curious about the coverage: It focused on blaming President Bush and the Supreme Court for everything that was…

Wait they are blaming this scandal on a president 5 years gone, and a seperate branch of the Government who has absolutely nothing to do with the IRS…
Seriously? MSNBC GO HOME YOU’RE TOO DRUNK!

MSNBC more like MSLSD…

Another Obama Green Boondoggle Goes Bust: Company Linked to Obama Donor Shuts Down After Receiving $50 Million DOE Loan | The Gateway Pundit

An investment firm whose vice chairman was an adviser and fundraiser for President Obama saw one of its portfolio companies, Vehicle Production Group, win approval in 2011 for $50 million in loans from the administration’s clean-energy loan program.

This week Vehicle Production Group went bust.
USA Today reported:

Vehicle Production Group closed its office, but owes $50 million to the Energy Department

A Michigan maker of vans for the disabled that received a $50-million Energy Department loan has quietly ceased operation and laid off its staff.

Vehicle Production Group, or VPG, stopped operations after finances dipped below the minimum threshold required by the government as a condition of the loan, says its former CEO, John Walsh. Though about 100 staff were laid off and its offices shuttered, it has not filed for bankruptcy reorganization.

That makes #19 to shut down. Obama sure knows how to pick ‘em.

Obama will probably expand domestic wiretapping, but whatever. :: Naked DC

The Obama administration, resolving years of internal debate, is on the verge of backing a Federal Bureau of Investigation plan for a sweeping overhaul of surveillance laws that would make it easier to wiretap people who communicate using the Internet rather than by traditional phone services, according to officials familiar with the deliberations.

See, the problem is, nowadays people aren’t as keen to talk on the phone all the time. They’re far more likely to communicate using those dastardly convenient western devil inventions – email, social networks and instant messenger – to plot their terrorist activities, than they are to use perfectly traceable cellular phones, so in the infinite wisdom of the FBI, it seems logical to extend the already intrusive wiretapping provisions to include all manner of electronics. Well, why not?

Criminally violent 'Obama Dreamers' released by ICE [VIDEO] | The Daily Caller

“We can’t have Presidents of the United States picking and choosing which laws will and will not be enforced.” Crane said.

Crane went on to explain how President Obama’s de facto repeal of immigration enforcement has led to serious and dangerous criminals being set free. “What the Obama Administration has ICE agents now doing is we now go into jails and prisons looking for illegal aliens inside of those facilities who have committed and been convicted of crimes. So we apply the Dream Act not to kids, in schools, but to adult inmates and have to ask them basically ‘Do you qualify for President Obama’s Dream Act?’ When they tell us ‘Yes we qualify’ we can’t even require them to give us any kind of proof, a transcript, or anything like that. We can’t detain them for investigation to substantiate the claims, we simply have to release them to the street. They walk out the back door of the jail as ‘Dreamers.’ There is nothing we can do about that. 

Big Government Advocate Tells You To Ignore Big Government: Sounds Legit | New Article at Damn Straight Politics

The key thing here is that you can’t believe someone just because they deny something.

Examples: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” and “I totally didn’t tweet that photo of my junk to anyone”.

So when Obama tells college graduates to please ignore the man behind the curtain and please don’t question the fact that I want to continue growing the government and heaping national debt on you and your family, forgive me if I don’t really believe what he has to say.

Diplomat: U.S. Special Forces told "you can't go" to Benghazi during attacks - CBS News

The account from Gregory Hicks is in stark contrast to assertions from the Obama administration, which insisted that nobody was ever told to stand down and that all available resources were utilized. Hicks gave private testimony to congressional investigators last month in advance of his upcoming appearance at a congressional hearing Wednesday.

According to excerpts released Monday, Hicks told investigators that SOCAFRICA commander Lt. Col. Gibson and his team were on their way to board a C-130 from Tripoli for Benghazi prior to an attack on a second U.S. compound “when [Col. Gibson] got a phone call from SOCAFRICA which said, ‘you can’t go now, you don’t have the authority to go now.’ And so they missed the flight … They were told not to board the flight, so they missed it.”

We Are Hungry (by blk5348)

The Ag Department first announced it as “exciting changes” to school lunches. Then a student tried the new menu and was admitted to the vomitorium for evaluation. Then another. Then several more. Before too long there was lost appetite pandemic. In response to the criticism, the caloric regs were loosened a little — which brings us to some good news, and some bad news. The good news: Michelle Obama says they’re working to make school lunches more “delicious.” The bad news: She’s referring to the same administration that said they were going to make health care more affordable.

Not sure how many times I have to point out to Canadian-Liberals and liberals in general that I was

between the ages of 9 and 17 during the Bush presidency and didn’t give a shit about politics until I was 16 or say.

I spent the entirety of my political interest from age 16 to 18 in bashing Republicans and Bush in particular.

Bush isn’t the issue at hand here at all, it’s Obama who is in power and his administration at fault in this case. Deflections of “BUSHDIDIT!” make you look like a fool.

I don’t support Bush because he was not a fiscal conservative.

Thank you and good day.
