Democrats like to say – “Bush did it” — well what if Bush had presided over the Libya foreign policy debacle — what would the general press reaction be to matters related to the actual results of the policy as we have seen them play out? And then what if Bush had made the following statement in conclusion regarding the issue of his administration’s management of foreign service security that resulted in the death of an ambassador and three others assigned to a known “hot spot?’ Obama concluded “there was just some sloppiness, not intentional,” You can listen to the interview here.
One might say – well Obama did admit that the Pickering report indicated there were some “severe problems” and he even referred to it as a “huge problem.” Well then how does one sincerely sum up the matter as “just some sloppiness? Would the press not be ” all over” the cavalier summation? But that is not as crimson a red flag attached to this matter as some others the press studiously avoids.
If “Bush did it” as regards Libya would the press let him off the hook by not pressing him about the lies that were told the American people in an effort to avoid any embarrassment prior to the election — blaming the event as a reaction to a video when his administration knew otherwise? Would the continuous dissembling about the matter not be even a curiosity to them? Read the attributed quote in the delightful skewering provided by Rich Terrell at Terrellaftermath.com and continue your wonderment.
And moving on, if “Bush did it” and claimed that his administration had held accountable members of the State Department regarding the matter when the most that happened was a lateral transfer — would the “press” not “press” him? Well you get the point.
Imagine if Hillary is not “available” in 2016. Who could the American people look to to guide the nation through what is to be an extraordinarily perilous time ahead (you may discuss among yourselves as to why “perilous times” remain after 8 years of this president’s sterling leadership)?
Well, let’s see. By then, he will have been lauded by the media for having cleaned up the “sloppy” Benghazi mess which had given Hillary a splitting headache; and, although our debt is over $20 trillion by then, all the ladies have free condoms, b.c. pills, and abortions; the UN is “helping” Mr.Obama run the country; and, while there are frequent energy outages and energy costs triple what they were in 2008, climate change has been reversed and the oceans have begun to recede…..
And, there is no one in public life in 2016 who has expressed more concern about the debt, the persistent 11 percent unemployment rate, and the plight of the 60 million Americans then living below the poverty level than President Obama.
Come to think of it, who needs Hillary? The answer will be right in front of us, Our Lord and Savior! Besides, that 22nd Amendement is from another century.
(Oh, and, by then, the few remaining Clinton admirers will be asking if anyone has heard from Bill or Hillary since 2013?)
Jus’ fantasizing. Gus.
If there was an actual nonpartisan MSM reporting what Obama said “there was just some sloppiness, not intentional,” this would be his “Brownie” moment. From what we already know the killings in Libya were streamed LIVE on 9/11 to several members in the government. And 10 days later CNN finds Ambassador Stevens diary ON THE GROUND of the building he died in! And now the SOS has the ” Benghazi Flu.”
Ha ha and good lord Jay Carney looks like a young Big Sis in that picture! That is some scary stuff right there!
