Heat in the U.S. Senate has escalated as it has come to
light that Susan Rice was in charge of two U.S. Embassies when they were
attacked in 1998, one in Kenya and one in Tanzania. In both cases, ambassadors at the embassies
had asked for additional security prior to the terrorist attacks and it was
denied. The White House and State
Department are trying to insist that Rice’s role in those attacks was “insignificant,”
but it is clear that she was State’s oversight on African embassy operations. Twelve U.S. employees were killed and 200
other deaths occurred with 4,000 injuries in the attacks.
COMMENTS:
The more the heat, the more determined Obama will be to
nominate her. He did say that McCain and
other Senators had better leave her alone; this grilling will be seen by him as
a direct challenge over his dictatorial authority earned by his “landslide” reelection
results. I stick with my prediction of a
recess appointment during Christmas vacation, followed by a curt two-word “Up yours”
from the White House.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. There is a restaurant in Pennsylvania that was offering a
10% discount to any customer who showed up with a church bulletin in hand. Some meathead left-wing atheist challenged the
restaurant with a state agency, claiming they were discriminating against
customers on the basis of religion. When
is all of this crap going to stop?
(Marlena ~ Provo, UT)
A. The state ruled in favor of the restaurant, saying that
as long as they accepted church bulletins from anybody including atheists, they
were not discriminating. If you want to
know what I really think, see today’s MY AMERICAN OPINION.
Q. Why doesn’t anyone in the press challenge White House
Press Secretary Jay Carney when he ducks and dodges important questions? (Sampson ~ Richmond, CA)
A. Because the press and media are all on Obama’s payroll,
literally an extension of the White House Public Relations Department. Occasionally, a delirious reporter crosses
the line. Major Garrett, formerly from
Fox and now representing CBS, recently stormed at Carney for ducking questions
about Susan Rice, Benghazi and her husband’s foreign investments. You can bet that CBS has either been told
that Garrett can no longer serve as their White House correspondent or that he
gets fired altogether.
Q. What do you suppose Obama and Romney had to say to each
other over lunch at the White House?
(Mathew ~ Irvine, CA)
A. Nothing; they were
both speechless. Not only was the meal
chili, so was the atmosphere. But when
the cameras showed up, they were all gushing with pleasantries. Obama invited Romney back for a beer in the
Rose Garden and Romney promised to get Obama a good seat at the next
Olympics.
