Obama Watched Benghazi Attack As It Unfolded!

That’s according to what retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer told Fox News.

Lt. Col. Tony Schafer told Fox News that sources were telling him that the President was watching the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya in real-time. Schafer told Fox that “only the President” could have ordered backup for the Americans who were under siege by terrorists so the President was most certainly informed of the situation as it was unfolding. “I hate to say this,” Schafer said, “according to my sources, yes, [the President] was one of those in the White House situation room in real-time watching this. And the question becomes, ‘What did the President do or not do in the moments he saw this unveiling?’ He — only he — could issue a directive to Secretary of Defense Panetta to do something.”

Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Leon Panneta’s excuse was that his intelligence of what was happening in Benghazi was “sketchy.”

Mr. Panetta decried “a lot of Monday-morning quarterbacking” in the questions his department has faced about why it didn’t send help in the middle of an hours-long assault on the U.S. Consulate.

Mr. Panetta said the military had forces positioned to respond, but the situation was too uncertain to send them in.

“The basic principle is that you don’t deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on, without having some real-time information about what’s taking place,” he said. “It was really over before, you know, we had the opportunity to really know what was happening.”

First off, we now know that there were drones over Benghazi. Also, the job of the soldier is to go into harm’s way and to fight. That’s what they’re trained for. So what is all this business about not wanting to put soldiers in harm’s way?

As I see it, our current White House occupant is a Marxist, Muslim hater of white people and Jews who preferred to sacrifice the American (infidel) ambassador, Seals, and other staff, rather than raise a hand against his fellow terrorist brothers.

Also, what’s all this business about waiting to get all the information???? What more information does this miserable failure of a president need? Whether he calls it a reaction to YouTube video or a terrorist attack, our consulate was breached and attacked by a mob of fanatics. As a result, we have four dead Americans. If this happened under Ronald Reagan, those Libyans would have already had several bombs sent their way.

And on another note, why on earth did Mitt Romney not bring up this Benghazi mess in the third debate? In all honesty, I didn’t watch it because I had a feeling he would pull a John McCain, and I was proven correct. What is wrong with Republicans these days?

CIA Operators Were Denied Requests For Extra Security In Benghazi

Of course they were. After all, Barack Hussein Obama did not want to offend or deter his Muslim terrorist brothers.

Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself was denied by the CIA chain of command — who also told the CIA operators twice to “stand down” rather than help the ambassador’s team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.

Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to “stand down,” according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to “stand down.”

On Last Night’s VP Debate

What is with Republicans these days? While arguing conservative talking points is all well and good, it’s just not going to cut it any more, especially when you had Joe Biden yelling, smirking, and giggling like a hyena predator throughout the debate.

So while Ryan was spouting numbers, which he’s good at, Biden was walking all over him, and making Republicans look uncaring and out of touch with average Americans. Republicans need to stop playing nice with these looting Democrat thugs.

Ryan should have at least tried to call out Biden on several of his lies.

On another note, considering that Ryan is a big fan of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, he should have been all over Biden for his comments about the supposed 120,000 millionaire families who “have more than they need.”

This blogger, who I think should have debated in Ryan’s place, has posted what really should have been said to bitch slap Biden (and Obama) once and for all.

CEO Tells Employees He May Have To Fire Them If Obama Is Re-Elected

Here is the email David Siegel, CEO of Westgate Resorts sent to his employees:

Subject: Message from David Siegel
Date:Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:58:05 -0400 (EDT)
From: [David Siegel]
To: [All employees]
To All My Valued Employees,
As most of you know our company, Westgate Resorts, has continued to succeed in spite of a very dismal economy. There is no question that the economy has changed for the worse and we have not seen any improvement over the past four years. In spite of all of the challenges we have faced, the good news is this: The economy doesn’t currently pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is another 4 years of the same Presidential administration. Of course, as your employer, I can’t tell you whom to vote for, and I certainly wouldn’t interfere with your right to vote for whomever you choose. In fact, I encourage you to vote for whomever you think will serve your interests the best.

However, let me share a few facts that might help you decide what is in your best interest.The current administration and members of the press have perpetuated an environment that casts employers against employees. They want you to believe that we live in a class system where the rich get richer, the poor get poorer. They label us the “1%” and imply that we are somehow immune to the challenges that face our country. This could not be further from the truth. Sure, you may have heard about the big home that I’m building. I’m sure many people think that I live a privileged life. However, what you don’t see or hear is the true story behind any success that I have achieved.
I started this company over 42 years ago. At that time, I lived in a very modest home. I converted my garage into an office so I could put forth 100% effort into building a company, which by the way, would eventually employ you. We didn’t eat in fancy restaurants or take expensive vacations because every dollar I made went back into this company. I drove an old used car, and often times, I stayed home on weekends, while my friends went out drinking and partying. In fact, I was married to my business – hard work, discipline, and sacrifice. Meanwhile, many of my friends got regular jobs. They worked 40 hours a week and made a nice income, and they spent every dime they earned. They drove flashy cars and lived in expensive homes and wore fancy designer clothes. My friends refinanced their mortgages and lived a life of luxury. I, however, did not. I put my time, my money, and my life into this business –with a vision that eventually, some day, I too, will be able to afford to buy whatever I wanted. Even to this day, every dime I earn goes back into this company. Over the past four years I have had to stop building my dream house, cut back on all of my expenses, and take my kids out of private schools simply to keep this company strong and to keep you employed.

Meet The REAL Barack Hussein Obama

Anyone who had bothered reading the right wing blogs four years ago would have known that Barack Hussein Obama was, and is nothing but a resentful race pimp with a huge chip on his shoulder (who was very open in his praise of Jeremiah Wright as well)! Despite being buffoons, black “leaders” like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton actually paved the way for Barack Obama. Our current White House occupant is nothing more than a slicker version of those two men, as this video shows.

In this clip, you’ll see Obama riling up the audience in an Ebonics accent, by complaining about how New Orleans was still not rebuilt after Hurricane Katrina, and thereby implying that white racism was to blame. Never mind that the Governor at the time was Kathleen Blanco, an incompetent Democrat who didn’t want the feds taking control of the evacuation effort. And let’s not forget whining Mayor Ray Nagin who never bothered using the city’s buses to evacuate his people. Instead he demanded Greyhound buses in a profanity laced rant. Yet despite all this incompetence, Obama blamed white racism. Yeah right!

You’ll also notice that Obama brought up the the Stafford Act, and how it was not waived for the people of New Orleans, which is a blatant lie.

I noted yesterday that in his 2007 speech in Hampton, Virginia, Barack Obama falsely claimed that the Stafford Act had not been waived for relief money appropriated to help New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The Stafford Act requires that, absent a waiver, localities match a percentage of the money they receive in federal assistance.

Obama’s claim was false. A few weeks before Obama gave his Hampton speech, Congress had waived the Stafford Act in connection with $6.9 billion in federal aid for New Orleans.

But it gets worse for Obama. Neo-neocon points out that Obama was one of 14 Senators who voted against the waiver of the Stafford Act. So not only was Obama’s complaint false, it was one he would have lacked standing to raise, given his vote on the issue.

Now, Obama voted against the Stafford Act waiver because it was part of a bill providing funds for the war effort in Iraq. Apparently, Obama’s desire to make sure the surge failed and we lost to al Qaeda in Iraq trumped his concern for the good people of New Orleans. Or maybe it was all posturing, Obama’s specialty, since he knew the money would go to Iraq and the Stafford Act would be waived regardless of how he voted.

And of course Obama went on about how it was the government’s job to teach the residents of N.O. how to rebuild their city, and that it was their job invest in city businesses. Anyway, here’s the video.

I Wouldn’t Be Surprised If Something Like This Were To Happen In Real Life

In this case, it’s a cute dog. But if Obama is re-elected, I can honestly imagine something like this happening to the dog’s owner.

Mitt Romney Spoke The Truth

In a hidden camera video shot at a Romney fundraiser, Mitt Romney gave an honest assessment of Obama supporters and why they’ll never vote Republican. Personally I see nothing wrong with what he said. It is what it is.

Of course, the media, which has been engaging in non-stop Obama Fellatio for these past five years, is full of self righteous anger. I mean, how dare rich white straight Mitt Romney say anything mean about Obama zombies!!!

Need I remind you of Obama lover Peggy Joseph, who believed Obama would pay for her gas, her mortgage, and who knows what else?

Fortunately, it seems like Governor Romney has found a backbone, as he is standing by his comments! Let’s hope he keeps it.

A Big Reason To Raise the Voting Age To At Least 25

A public university in Colorado is offering college credit to students to campaign for Obama.

A public university in Colorado may have violated state law by offering students course credit if they volunteered with President Obama’s re-election campaign. A blog post on the Adams State University website billed the opportunity as a “12 week long organizing internship for the Obama Campaign.”

Both the blog post and the course are now gone. The course was canceled due to lack of interest, according to the university. The blog post was taken down earlier this week after a conservative student blog, Campus Reform, reported on it.

{snip}

The course may have been in violation of the Colorado Fair Campaign Practices Act, which prohibits the use of public resources toward “campaigns involving the nomination, retention, or election of any person to any public office.” Oliver Darcy, the editor at Campus Reform who first reported the story, said the course struck him as a likely violation of state law.

“They are definitely using a few professors at least to help these students with the campaign process, so I don’t understand how it doesn’t use public resources for campaign purposes,” he said in an interview with The Daily Caller News Foundation.

A spokesperson for the university said the blog post was mistaken about the nature of the course, and that students would have been allowed to volunteer with any campaign.

“This is an independent study course that would be available to any student in any campaign,” said Julie Waechter, a spokesperson for ASU, in an interview with TheDC News Foundation.

Waechter declined to give the name of the employee who authorized the course. Dodie Day, the administrator who posted the blog entry, declined to comment.

According to Waechter, the Obama administration reached out to the university about hosting such an offer.

“The Obama campaign did approach the school. Others campaigns did not,” she said, adding that the school would have considered a similar offer from the Republican campaign of Gov. Mitt Romney.

Earlier this week, Wood reported on a similar instance of liberal political activity entering the classroom at Ohio State University. Professor Brian McHale wrote an e-mail to colleagues asking them to set aside class time for campaign organizers to pitch students on getting involved with the Obama campaign.

“I’ve been in touch with a couple of campus organizers for the Obama campaign, who have asked me to pass along to all of you a request for access to your classes in the next few weeks,” wrote McHale in the e-mail.

One Businessman’s Response To Obama’s “You Didn’t Build That” Speech

The businessman is Ray Gaster of Gaster Lumber & Hardware in Savannah Georgia. Here’s a picture of the sign outside his store.

I say good for Mr. Gaster. I just hoped he’s well armed. The Obama zombies hate it when anyone bad mouths their messiah. And of course the Obama fellating news media will do their best to dig up any kind of dirt they can find on Mr. Gaster. He can also expect an IRS audit.

Now if only Mitt Romney would take off his kid gloves and go after Obama like this heroic businessman has done he might just win this election.
