   Inhofe grilling the nominee for TREASURY Secretary. It should be a joke, but the joke is the Senator from Oklahoma.

   The Tpublicans won’t let the country get on with its business.

   President Obama has been very lazy about Benghazi. Bush, Jr would have had some ‘terrorists’ renditioned at random and subjected to enhanced interrogation until they confessed to the murder of the US Ambassador, then confined them indefinitely in Guantánamo, but President Obama couldn’t lift a finger to order those renditions and enhanced interrogations.

   
   Of course, the brilliant and effective strategy of St Bush, Jr, has not been the style of the Kenyan Muslim, but he could at least have ordered a drone strike on some heavily populated Libyan neighbourhood, and declared that his secret intelligence had conclusively proved that he had killed all those responsible for the Ambassador’s death. Ms Clinton could have given stirring speeches about President Obama’s effective response just before the election. But he was too lazy to bother doing even that.

   
   And now, since he’s sure not to be re-elected because the American voters have finally wised up and will not re-elect him, what’s the point?

   My wife was in Libya recently, on a charity sponsored healthcare mission, traveling on a British passport. This place is not Charleston SC or Phoenix AZ. If Graham and McCain think US rules apply there — let alone the weird rules of the US Senate — they are direly mistaken. Libya is Revolutionary France 15 months after ‘the committees of revolution’ offed Louis the 16th and his aristocrats. It’s — wait for something McCain can relate to — Libya is Viet Nam 15 months after the assassination of Ngo Diem…

   Of course the situation on Libyan soil isn’t REALLY what we’re worried about. The best interests of the American People isn’t a worry either. Nope. It’s RePubliCon advertising.

   $16.5 trillion in debt and growing at over $1 trillion a year. Estimated $122 trillion in unfunded liabilities, growing at about $7 trillion a year. A gross domestic product of just over $15 trillion.. The nonsense about this Democrat devised plan of sequestration is chump change compared to the real crash in the future..

   Loonie Liberal Sheep believe everything the Supreme Ruler says.. The question is – What did our Supreme Leader do while this was happening? He has never told anyone where he was or why he did not do anything during those 7-10 hrs. HE has taken No responsibilty – he is the leader and it IS his responsibilty to make sure ALL are safe. This cover-up is WORSE than Water-Gate as American lives were lost and HE cannot be accounted for… and everytime something doesn’t go His way He blames Republicans and/or Bush for everything so I’m sure it’s the Republicans/Bushes fault Bengazi happened… He needs to stop campaigning and start leading and take some responsibility

   Here’s an idea…we send Congress to sea on a Carnival Cruise Ship, and NOT let them come ashore until they agree to work together, and work with the President!

   When they roll their terrible eyes
   and gnash their terrible teeth,
   Look them in the eye without blinking
   and say
   LET THE SEQUESTRATION BEGIN.

   @Eryx

   Hey just a question. You were so vocal about Romney and his “off shore” bank accounts in the Caymans and how wrong it was. Do you think that the same standard should be applied to the man who will run the US Treasury ?
   
   Now I have to think that you were also aghast at the lies told and the intelligence used in the Iraqi war. Should you hold this president to the same standard in foreign policy?
   
   And just for grins, how is it that an estimated 85 billion dollar cut in the entire 3.6 trillion dollar budget request for fiscal year 2013 equates to an asteroid strike (total destruction) on DC?

    Is Rob implying that Benghazi was hit by an Asteroid? Nice theory, but I don’t think that will hold up too long.

    Oh those damn policies that created this Damnable debt!
    Of course we can dump the fools that created this debt but then the House would be able to get on with dealing with the needs of the American people instead of protecting the graft policies of the last repubby administrations fleecing the taxpayer reign!

    Very true. The Dems simply don’t care.
