    Yeah that's the ticket, the media was constantly digging to get stuff on Reagan, which explains all the people in his administration that were convicted of crimes.
    But the media is constantly trying to hide all the bad stuff Obama is doing........because reporters now try to hide the big story, because they'd rather help Obama than make money, or be successful, is that what Tinkerbelle told you?

    The media is and has been owned for years.

    George Soros funds schools of journalism and has done so for many years now. Obama and Soros are as thick as socialists. So forth and so on. It's not difficult to figure out what's going on during this administration and with the Mainstream Media; it's just that leftwingers really wish that the ties between Obama and the MSM were not so evident and so -- um -- intimate.

    Yeah that would sense to me, except I'm not a complete idiot.
    Reporters are hiding big stories to protect Obama, you need an IQ less than your shoe size to believe that.
    Have you ever heard of the concept of individual initiative, you actually believe that all "reporters" act in lock step to protect Obama?

    Is that really the only explanation you can come up with of why things were so bad when Bush was president, and now they seem to be improving, only because that media was lying about how good things were when Bush was president and how bad things are now?
    You don't think that maybe things were really bad when Bush was in Office, and that things have really been slowly improving since Obama took office, or are all the numbers faked, is everything a Potemkin village?

    Yes, that's because we don't have state media, our media is the product of private enterprise, it's owned people who are trying to make money, which is why you could always depend on it to deliver the truth, and a whole lot more.
    The thing is to get at the truth, you need to think....

    Ire, Hillary stands as much chance of being President in 2016 as Millard Fillmore.

    Because the whole thing has been a plastic fake scandal from the beginning. On purpose.

    No, because Stevens wasn't five years old.

    What are the steady stream of lies and what are your sources of proof?

    From the moment the event happened, they were blaming it upon random things like a videographer, saying it wasn't a terrorist attack, Obama was in the rose garden or something when it happened, and some other stuff I don't remember, all of which turned out to be lies.

    I'm not listing a source here cause I don't remember one off the top of my head, but seriously, none of what I just wrote up there is actually disputed and if you just choose not to believe it and want to have an opinion of it without doing any research on the subject, there's nothing I can do about that.

    Things are improving now that Obama is in office? Really? So you mean there actually is no neeeeeeeeeeed to raise the minimum wage nor extend unemployment benefits? You mean that countless MILLIONS of citizens have not actually given up on looking for work? You mean that this looooooooooooong national nightmare is not only over but has been for several years now and it's just that nobody noticed? Sweet!

    Gosh, things aren't perfect, what a failure....what a good sheep you are, bleating incessantly about every ill the country has suffered from the minute Obama first took the oath of office. Thinking that if you whined loud enough, no one would notice that it was the GOP who was in power and clamored for the rules that set up the economic collapse, going back for decades, yeah, forget all that, that's history, lets all just hate on Obama like you do, do you blame Obama for your thinning hair, for your upset stomach, for your back ache, why not?You blame him for everything else, and not because you have any facts to form an opinion around, you just know the "media" is covering up all the bad stuff, because reporters hide bad information about Obama, because George Soros pays for their schooling.....it all makes perfect sense.....

    Ouch! It looks like I struck a nerve . . . but when fanatical Obama supporters are nothing but a massive collection of raw nerve endings, I guess that's sort of along the lines of shooting fish in a barrel, eh? One just can't miss.

    Exploiting the Benghazi tragedy to smear the likely 2016 Democratic presidential nominee has already fizzled, par for the course of Darrll Issa's series of contrived "scandals," that have flamed out with his wild partisan accusations discredited and not a single indictment issued.

    Previously, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform had acted as Congress's watchdog, targeting such malfeasance as the waste of taxpayer dollars in government contracting, exposed the illegal business practices of Enron, and uncovering Big Pharma's overpricing of prescription drugs.

    Assess the Committee's accomplishments under the Other Brother: What has the lavish expenditure of taxpayer dollars in Issa's parade of elaborate vendettas actually achieved?

    There. You see how easy it becomes when you just respect the facts, Darryl.

    Ambassador Stevens was requesting help in fact all but demanding it for more than a month before 9/11. He never turned it down. Which would have been dificult to do, in any case, since he was never offered it. You got the wrong damn ambassador...

    Pee, Thanks for sharing your prediction. I'll give it all the credence it deserves based on your last one:


    Others can decide for themselves.

    They gained back 10 seats in 2012 for a net loss of 59.

    And picked up seats in the Senate and kept the Presidency.

    A total repeat of 2010 with the Dems "getting their asses waxed". Yep, just like you predicted.

    Chalk up Benghazi to the list of Darrell 'Grand Theft Auto Inquisitor' Issa's impressive string of squalid, indictment-free, fizzlefests.

    I didn't realize the ambassador had the maturity of a child.
