But he didn’t “lie”, lie, like under oath or anything…. so it’s not really a lie according to Democrats and Fabian Socialist Progressives….  can’t impeach a President for telling a lie, only for telling a lie under oath…. so it’s all good.

(CNSNews.com) – Three days after CIA and State Department eyewitnesses reported on Sept. 15 that there had been no protest in Benghazi, Libya, before terrorists attacked the U.S. diplomatic mission and a CIA facility there on Sept. 11, President Barack Obama and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney both publicly linked the attacks, which killed four Americans, to protests against an anti-Muslim video that had been posted on YouTube.

Carney did it at the White House press briefing on Tuesday, Sept. 18, and Obama did it later that same day in a taped interview with David Letterman.

However, according to a new report by the Senate Homeland Security Committee, personnel working at the CIA “Annex” in Benghazi on Sept. 11 reported on Sept. 15 that there had been no protest in Benghazi that day, and State Department security personnel who survived the Benghazi attacks told FBI interviewers on Sept. 15 and Sept. 16 that they, too, had seen no evidence of any protest before the attacks.

Nothing terribly profound to end 2012 or begin 2013 except a nagging feeling sense that so many people we care about just cannot bring themselves to recognize where this all heads. For whatever reason, and I really don’t understand it, it’s like a punch in the gut when you see someone deny, concede, or acquiesce in the comment section.    I find myself of similar perspective to the face in this artwork.

“Denial” plays a key role in the life of a victim, and those who allow themselves the comfort of non-control within victimhood.  I’ll never be comfortable as a victim, regardless how much people demand. (more…)

UPDATE: Chelsea, who was spotted by the New York Daily News, was to first member of Clinton’s family to be seen publicly at the hospital. There is no word on the whereabouts of her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

Chelsea, 32, a special correspondent for NBC News, looked upset as she left the hospital – cell phone in hand. She ignored questions from a reporter and went back inside. (link)

Earlier – Even NBC’s Robert Bazell ain’t buyin’ the story:  “It’s not exactly clear what is happening with Secretary Clinton’s health,” NBC News chief science and health correspondent Robert Bazell said.

“All we have is a statement from her office. The hospital isn’t saying anything and the statement from her [office] says that she had this blood clot that stemmed from the concussion and she’s being treated with blood-thinning drugs,” Bazell continued. “The problem is that usually when blood clots come from concussions, they can’t be treated with blood [thinners.] So either it’s not really related to the concussion and she’s got a blood clot in her leg or something, or there’s something else going on that we’re not being told. And right now, we’re just sort of seeking that clarification and hoping for the best as she’s being observed.”

Following on the heels of the Thanksgiving Holiday Fire (atop Secretary Hillary Clintons office at the State Dept Building in DC) she fell ill with a stomach virus.    Following the Stomach virus, and because of the stomach virus, Hillary fainted and hit her head.    Following the fall, and because of the hit on her head, she suffered a concussion.

As a result of the concussion Hillary was unable to testify before congress about the Benghazi “sloppiness“.  ( *note “sloppiness” = Obama new term for the slaughter of an American Ambassador, one aide, and two former Navy SEALs formerly called “bumps in the road”) (more…)

I think I’m gonna hurl…..   Remember THIS (2010):

[…] The forces will deploy beginning with a small group and grow over the next month to 100. They will ultimately go to Uganda, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with the permission of those countries.

The president made this announcement in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, Friday afternoon, saying that “deploying these U.S. Armed Forces furthers U.S. national security interests and foreign policy and will be a significant contribution toward counter-LRA efforts in central Africa.”  (link)

Firefight started 9:30pm Benghazi Time (3:30 DC) and Ended at the CIA Annex 5:00am Benghazi time (11:30pm DC)…..  But there just wasn’t enough time to respond!

A new study by the respected National Bureau of Economic Research found that Progressive policies in general, and Democrats specifically were to blame for the subprime mortgage crisis and subsequent economic collapse.

Investor’s Business Daily reported:

Democrats and the media insist the Community Reinvestment Act, the anti-redlining law beefed up by President Clinton, had nothing to do with the subprime mortgage crisis and recession.

But a new study by the respected National Bureau of Economic Research finds, “Yes, it did. We find that adherence to that act led to riskier lending by banks.”

Added NBER: “There is a clear pattern of increased defaults for loans made by these banks in quarters around the (CRA) exam. Moreover, the effects are larger for loans made within CRA tracts,” or predominantly low-income and minority areas. (more…)

Imagine for just one minute that George Bush, or any Republican was in the White House, and this exact same report was released……   “Leadership failures” at the State Department, but Hillary’s all good…. unreal. 

WASHINGTON (AP) — An independent panel charged with investigating the deadly Sept. 11 attack in Libya that killed a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans has concluded that systematic management and leadership failures at the State Department led to “grossly” inadequate security at the mission in Benghazi.  (full report here)

“Systematic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels within two bureaus of the State Department resulted in a Special Mission security posture that was inadequate for Benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place,” the panel said.

The report singled out the Bureau of Diplomatic Security and the Bureau of Near East Affairs for criticism, saying there appeared to be a lack of cooperation and confusion over protection at the mission in Benghazi, a city in Eastern Libya that was relatively lawless after the revolution that toppled Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi.

WASHINGTON — A high-level State Department investigative panel turned over a secret report Monday assessing blame for the deadly terrorist attacks against the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, setting the stage for a clash on the issue this week between the Obama administration and Republican critics.

The five-member Accountability Review Board delivered the report to the State Department two days before congressional panels are to hear testimony from its leading members, former Ambassador Thomas Pickering and former Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Michael G. Mullen, in closed session. (more…)

Yes, the agenda transparency of this administration is obvious.  But I doubt Obama literally knew in 2008 – by December of 2012 Hillary Clinton would be sh!tting all over herself so much she would pass out and knock herself unconscious – when he said: he’d have the most transparent administration in history.

What’s “transparent” are the lies.

Considering the opportunistic Thanksgiving holiday fire at the State Dept office of Hillary Clinton; and considering the decision of Susan Rice to avoid the sunlight of Senate confirmation hearings on Benghazi;  this latest manipulation/avoidance scheme by Hillary Clinton is, well, yes – “transparent“.

But before you consider what her handlers are saying today, vis-a-vi a concussion, brought on by fainting, caused by massive dehydration (ie the sh!ts – irony alert), you might want to know what the State Dept position was leading up to the “fainting”:

Earlier in the week:  The House Foreign Affairs Committee has also already announced its Dec. 20 hearing featuring Clinton’s testimony. The title of the HFAC hearing is “Benghazi Attack, Part II: The Report of the Accountability Review Board”

But State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said today that the ARB is not complete, might not be complete by Dec. 20, and Clinton has not agreed to testify on Dec. 20. (more…)
