Did anyone ever doubt the obvious?

It was 2 months before an election, the Liar in Chief had said he had "Al Qaeda on the run" as his bell weather for re-election, people were suffering under his "recovery", Obozocare had been forced down our throats, and his polls were falling even with the "Old Guards" establishment puppet Robme saying 47% of the population didn't matter.....

So it's taken this long to find any proof of lies, deception, or wrong doing in the DC elite? After all, they only took a moment to chastise, blame, and prove it was because of a simple youtube film maker....

If it were you or I facing these investigations (as the attack on a lowly youtuber proved), there would have been boxes of emails, phone calls, internet chats, witnesses, and "proof" within days of the allegations (funny that didn't happen to "horseface" Kerry for his recent Israel bashing..... but then AIPAC came to his defense saying he votes with Israel 100% of the time..... even tho he is supposed to represent America.....)!

So don't hold your breath that anything will come of it.....

Email Shows White House Planned Benghazi Video Deception

White House officials consciously planned to spin the successful 2012 jihadi attack on the Benghazi diplomatic compound as a spontaneous protest against an anti-Islam video, according to a new email exposed by the public-interest law firm Judicial Watch.

The Sept. 14 email by Ben Rhodes, President Obama's chief foreign policy spokesman, described the public relations goals for a planned briefing of a top official - Susan Rice - who was scheduled to appear Sept. 16 on five Sunday talk-shows.

She was invited on the shows to explain the September 11 attack, which killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. The subject of the email was "PREP CALL with Susan."

The mystery of the misleading Benghazi talking points today became a little less murky. A Freedom of Information Act request from Judicial Watch has revealed who in the Obama White House gave former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice the misleading Benghazi talking points: Deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes has his finger prints all over the most incriminating document of the lot.

Rice served up the Obama administration's talking points (which were soon revealed as so much spin) with great eloquence to the American people on a whopping five Sunday talk shows September 16, 2012,five days after the brutal murder of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya.

A 140 page tranche of documents (some heavily redacted) from the State Department and the National Security Council (NSC) reveals an administration struggling to come to grips with the attack and with the protests throughout the Middle East. They also reveal an administration determined to avoid blame for its policy failures.

On page 14, we find this email from Ben Rhodes, sent on September 14 at 8:09 p.m., to a number of Obama administration officials, including White House spokesman Jay Carney, NSC deputy spokesman David Plouffe, and others.

The tag line reads: RE: PREP CALL with Susan Saturday at 4.00 pm ET.

From the e-mail:

Goals:

To convey that the United States is doing everything that we can to protect our people and facilities abroad.

To underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not in a broader policy failure.

To show that we will be resolute in bringing people who harm Americans to justice and standing steadfast through these protests.

To reinforce the Presidents and Administration's strength and steadfastness in dealing with difficult challenges.

By the next morning, Saturday the 15th, deputy CIA Director Mike Morell had cut and edited the fairly comprehensive talking points produced by the CIA to reflect the directions of Rhodes. Morell removed any reference to terrorism, and overruled the eyewitness evidence of the CIA's own station chief in Libya, who stated that there was no protest whatsoever in Benghazi.

For the Obama national security council, the problem was that the Benghazi attack ran directly counter to its Libya policy. The administration, from the president on down, clung to the fiction that terrorism was something of the past, and Al-Qaeda was on the run. (The president's speech writers finally removed that unfortunate phrase from his campaign speeches after the Benghazi attack.)

This conundrum continues to haunt Hillary Clinton, who was asked again last week at the Simmons Leadership Conference in Boston: If you could change the outcome of any event that occurred while you were Secretary of State what would that be?

Oh, it would certainly be the attack on our facility in Benghazi, Clinton responded, and the loss of two State Department personnel and two CIA contractors from the terrorist attack and the terrible consequences of that. It's very, very painful and it was certainly the biggest regret that I had as Secretary of State.

Regret, not remorse is the operative word here.
The Obama administration has tangled itself in a cover-up of the awful policy choices that led to Benghazi. As a consequence, Americans have lost their trust in the administration, the families of the victims continue to suffer, and none of the guilty have been punished.

Punished? laugh

They've all been promoted, taken cushy, high paying, private sector jobs, or are running for office in 2016 on the demoncrapic ticket!

Idiot voters will most likely continue the madness to complain about it after it's too late once again!

And it will still be Dubyas fault or some big Repulsicon conspiracy to blame
