Faced with the impending release of Administration emails regarding the “talking points” and initial release of information about Benghazi, Jay Carney held a secret, off-the-record with 14 different news organizations yesterday. That was followed by a regularly scheduled press conference during which Carney was on the hot seat with respect to one email from a “top administration official” demanding that the talking points be watered down even more. He then lashed out at Republicans and accused them of leaking the emails in an effort to embarrass the White House. Carney had claimed last year that the only adjustment the White House or State Department made to the language was to change the word "consulate" to "diplomatic facility." But, ABC News reported yesterday that the talking points were revised 12 times. In the meanwhile, Mike Huckabee and others are suggesting that Obama will be impeached over the Benghazi Massacre story.
COMMENTS:
The secret press conference was
undoubtedly to enlist the support of news organizations in playing down the
breaking news; the White House has
allegedly threatened news organizations with expulsions from the press corps in
the past unless members reported as they were directed to do by the Press
Secretary. The emails are what they
are and, if they cause embarrassment to the White House it’s due to the content
of the emails, not the people reporting on them. Right after the Massacre, I predicted that
the event may well lead to the impeachment of Obama and I still believe that. The whole story as we now know it is only the
tip of the iceberg; the White House continues to deny the names of, or access
to, on-the-ground survivors of the attack.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Why are we withdrawing some personnel from our Libyan
Embassy? I thought we closed it when the
Benghazi Massacre happened. (Clyde ~
Ventura, CA)
A. The Consulate was in Benghazi and the Embassy is in
Tripoli. I fully agree with your
thought: Why didn’t we pull all diplomatic personnel out after the Benghazi
Massacre? This administration is dumber
than a post. The failure to do so is
irresponsible and negligent. So, here we
are today in the exact, same potential situation: everyone else is getting out; we
are withdrawing a few “non-essential” personnel. Are we going to have a Tripoli Massacre?
Q. Did the I.R.S. really go after the Tea Parties? (Leonard ~ Williams, AZ)
A. Yes they did and if you contributed, they wanted your
name and address so they could go after you, too.
The I.R.S. admitted that the Tea Parties were a target and apologized,
but the Tea Parties, as of this posting, refused to accept the apologies and
rightly so. OPPRESSION RULES THE DAY IN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
Q. I read yesterday that the guys who put together the proposed
immigration legislation voted down a proposed amendment that would require
border security before granting amnesty to the illegals. Why?
(Cleo ~ Tooele, UT)
A. Because the Democrats want the increased voting block
before the borders are secured. In other
words, if they can’t secure the Mexican vote for the 2014 election, they don’t
want border security. This is shameless
and blatantly un-American.
