White House in damage control mode as potential scandals pile up [W:378]

Why would anyone want to be taken seriously on this forum? 90% of what is posted here is unsubstantiated angst and frankly ridiculous predictions and opinions with little to no basis in realty.

I post exactly to the quality of the discourse on this forum.

In any case, no one has exactly been able to articulate why anything the President's done in regards to these incidents actually qualifies as a scandal, and they won't because they aren't.

Was Watergate a scandal? Do you understand the definition of a scandal? Lying is a scandal and what Susan Rice did was lie to the American people based upon talking points that came from this Administration. Now I understand how badly you want this President to succeed but the reality is he was incompetent when elected and more incompetent when he was re-elected. All you had to do was take a few minutes to check his resume. We are seeing the results of your failure and the failure of all those who elected and re-elected him as you buy rhetoric and ignore results.

We now know it was the CIA who wanted to mislead the terrorists by not mentioning them. You should take that up with them. Rice did nothing but repeat what she was told. I see you don't care about national security and are mad that we tried to mislead Alqeada. I see absolutely nothing wrong with it, but I am not a supporter of Alqeada. Maybe you are?

Keep buying that, has anyone been brought to justice? What exactly did they accomplish by allowing Susan Rice to lie to the American people? You are so gullible and easily brainwashed by the leftwing ideology.

Perhaps if your friends in Alqeada defeat us, they will hold hearings on the matter. Otherwise it's tough noogies on them I'm afraid. Most Americans do not feel their actions justify that we not try and mislead them. They are pretty much scum that don't deserve the time of day to me. But you certainly have the right to feel otherwise....it's a free country.

Were you this forgiving on all those trumped up charges against Bush? Nice try at diversion but the reality is Susan Rice was given lies to tell the American people. No one has been caught or prosecuted for the actions in Libya and yet Obama has a free pass. I had three family members fighting terrorists so don't give me that political bull**** about supporting al Qaeda. "Your" President is an incompetent leftwing radical that has no business in the office as his resume showed. You support incompetence?
 
Is it accurate?:2wave:

Don't know, nor do I care. the fact is Obama Administration sent out Susan Rice with lies. That is an attempt to deceive and thus a scandal.

I see, you want the administration to reveal all information on suspects while an investigation is still on....because you think that helps with an investigation?

This has been a big deception the whole time, the CIA operation in Tripoli was the main target in the attacks, Stevens compound was just icing on the cake.

This is high comedy and it can't be repeated enough - you wouldn't be doing all this covering, ducking and weaving if the POTUS didn't have a (D) beside his name. The plain fact is this admin lied from the very beginning about Benghazi. They didn't lie because they were trying to apprehend the suspects or because there was an investigation. They lied to let thermselves off the hook, and you, the good dem supporter, bought it. Then bought it again when the lie was revealed and they lied some more. And now you defend their actions for one solitary reason - he's your guy.

The Administration had no business sending out Susan Rice, who had nothing to do with the incident and was given lies, to give those lies to the American people. Tell me who has been captured and prosecuted over this screw up? You will do anything to defend the incompetence of this Administration and the lies perpetuated on the American people. You need to go to work for Carney

Susan Rice spoke to the UNCLASSIFIED version of the talking points which was approved by the CIA. She didn't lie. The very idea that the Obama lied because of the election is completely stupid. The election was 7 weeks away.

Remember who you're talking to. The RW has since 2008 sworn up and down that Obama even lied about where he was born ;)

That fact illustrates to any person familiar with the election cycle that she was told to lie precisely because they knew they had stepped in it and it would affect their electoral chances.

This is what effected Romney's chances...

Obama and Romney trade blows over Libya attack. Barack Obama wrong footed Mitt Romney in a dramatic clash over the Benghazi attack that killed the US ambassador to Libya, an issue which could have been severely embarrassing to the president, but ultimately humiliated the Republican candidate.

Susan Rice had no business going on the talk shows and either willingly or unknowingly lied to the American people. What did Susan Rice know about Benghazi? She was given inaccurate talking points which she presented. That was designed to help the President in the election for it was Obama who claimed that al Qaeda was on the run. It was a terrorist attack, period, end of discussion. The Obama Administration lied to the American people and four Americans are dead with no one in custody or prosecuted for that action. Your loyalty is staggering though misguided

LOL !! You better tell the shrinking middle class that there has been a spike in the GDP.

Honestly, why do you post arbitrary figures minus any context.

Like almost all of Obama's GDP increases have bee attributed to massive federal spending ?

Why didn't you mention that if it were left up to the private sector our GDP would be around 1.0% continuously?

Massive amounts of borrowed money with your Central Bank buying almost all of our Treasuries to keep that debt cheap is nothing to brag about, nor is it " growth".

Post another empty graph that proves nothing.

Gee, that's nice, but the whole time Obama was "winning" that exchange he was doing so on lies about the event. Would Obama have won the exchange if Americans knew the truth?

Wrong, another lie, Obama did not SAY the day after the attack that it was an ACT OF TERROR so how long are you going to continue to buy the Obama lies? What is it about liberalism that creates this kind of loyalty?

Exactly, the Obama supporters don't want the truth and the Obama supporters will continue to distort and divert from what Obama actually said. He did NOT say the day after it was a terrorist attack, just another one of the many Obama lies.

Don't like graphs huh....

Jobs

Now that we have figures for the full four years of Obama’s first term, a surprising fact emerges: The economy added more jobs during four years under Obama than it did in the entire eight years under George W. Bush.By the time of Obama’s second inaugural in January, the economy had added a net total of 1,208,000 jobs since he was first sworn in four years earlier, according to current figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That beats Bush’s eight-year total of 1,083,000.
Stock market

Stock prices, which plunged during the 2007-2009 recession, have continued to rebound. As of the market’s close on April 16, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index stood 96 percent above where it was when the president first came to office in 2009
, and very close to the record high set in October 2007. The Dow Jones Industrial Average had gone up 86 percent. Both the Dow and the S&P 500 have set record highs recently.

Lois Lerner is going to invoke the 5th in front of Congress.

Thanks Libs for saddling America with these thugs and criminals.
