[Hoot Gibson]

Are you really Hoot? Are you drunk tonight? You are not coherent. What truth could he tell, until he found out for sure? A President cannot shoot from the hip like most republicans do.

:dudecomeon:Are you really this dumb, RV? Think about how silly you sound defending Obama. Obama was sure enough that the terrorist attacks in Benghazi was caused by a Youtube video that he addressed the UN two weeks later. He was so sure that a video was to blame for the attack that he ran a TV ad in Pakistan apologizing for the video on our behalf (of course we picked up the tab).

Yet you are claiming that he could not state that terrorists were to blame for the attack until he was absolutely sure of his facts? Is that really your position?

A man is sitting in jail - serving time as a convenient scapegoat for Obama, after Obama and the State Department blamed him for the violence in Benghazi. He will get his day in court, but it will not come until three days after the election. How convenient!

The State Department and White House were in communication with the officials in Benghazi during the attack. The White House knew that there was no protest that escalated into an attack while the attack was in progress. The staff in Benghazi emailed the White House Situation Room during the attack.

Maybe you just simply do not understand what the Situation Room is, or who may have been present there (or, perhaps more importantly who should have been present).

[INDENT]The White House Situation Room is a 5,000-square-foot (460 m2)[1]conference room and intelligence management center in the basement of the West Wing of the White House. It is run by the National Security Council staff for the use of the President of the United States and his advisors (including the National Security Advisor, the Deputy for Homeland Security and the White House Chief of Staff) to monitor and deal with crises at home and abroad and to conduct secure communications with outside (often overseas) persons. The Situation Room is equipped with secure, advanced communications equipment for the President to maintain command and control of U.S. forces around the world. - (from Wikipedia)

This is a very simple scandal with a botched, simple-minded cover-up that is ongoing.

Brace yourself, RV. As soon as Democratic Senators and Representatives come to grips with the fact that there is no way for Obama to win a second term, you are going to see a rebellion as those politicians turn on your man to save their own skins.

Scandals like this have a pretty predictable life cycle. This is a huge scandal that will drag Obama's poll numbers down in Ohio, and as Ohio goes, so goes the election.
